Xin Zhai

Tong Yan usually only wears formal clothes. Most of the reason is that he is too lazy to choose clothes. Wearing shirts and suits is simple and elegant, so you don’t need to waste energy. Just buy a few and send them to the laundromat for washing on a regular basis.On Saturday morning, he rummaged around the house for a long time, and finally found a pair of jeans and a jumper from his school days, barely enough for an outing.

With a wallet in one pocket and a mobile phone in the other pocket, he arrived at the west gate of the school.There were two buses parked outside the west gate, and a group of students in the class were chatting underneath.

"Teacher Tong is so young in this outfit!" Zhou Shi poked her head out of the window of the car and shouted at Tong Yan.All eyes were on him now.If he was in school, he would be embarrassed.However, he has been a teacher for the past few years, and he is used to being on the podium, so he is used to being watched by so many pairs of eyes.

He chatted with a few people below, and saw that Ye Li was carrying a large bag on his back, and was pulling a small cart in his hand. There were two boxes of mineral water, instant noodles, and two bags of fruit in the cart.

Pu Liang asked, "Don't you just bring your own food?"

"It's okay, bring more, whoever brings less can eat."

Ye Li moved his things into the car, saw Tong Yan standing beside him, and smiled at him: "Teacher Tong, get in the car, everyone is already there, let's go right away."

"Ye Li, have you counted the number of tents?" Guo Qi called him from the car over there.

"Counted."

"Ye Li, did you buy the lighter?" Pu Liang asked again.

"Bought it."

Tong Yan got into the car and found a seat in the second row by the window.Several girls gathered around and chatted with him.While chatting with them, he turned his head and saw Ye Li and Pu Liang counting the things in the cargo box of the bus.

After a while, everything was ready, and they got into the car.Ye Li shouted from the front: "Everyone sit down, it's time to drive, everyone should find a seat and do a good job."

The girls hesitated for a moment, and Lin Congshan sat next to Tong Yan first.So Zhou Shi and Liu Na sat behind him.Lin Congshan doesn't like to talk, but likes to read books, especially interested in history, and sometimes discusses with him.Now with mobile phone WeChat, contact is much more convenient.As the head teacher, every student in this car will chat with him alone, and sometimes girls will talk to him.He can't ignore it. He has the responsibility to understand the situation of each student, and he has to enlighten him if he has any ideological problems.But he only has 24 hours a day, and what is more precious than time is energy, or attention.Dividing his attention to 35 people, plus a few graduate students, projects, classes, and various activities, he is really overwhelmed and at a loss.Every day he felt that the day passed in a mess of flickering, and he wanted to calm down and read a book and work, and the only time he had was from dinner to bed.

The car starts.Tong Yan chatted with Lin Congshan one after another.Several waves of students started playing poker in the back.There was constant noise in the carriage.

Su Xiaoqian sat in the aisle and asked Ye Li, "Is the water distributed uniformly?" Ye Li then opened the mineral water box and started distributing water to everyone.There was nothing special when it was sent to him, I didn't say anything, I just glanced at him.So Tong Yan, like other students in the class, took Ye Li's water.

"Ye Li, how long will it take to arrive?" Liu Na asked.

"It's an hour and a half, and it's time to chat for a while."

"Hey, Ye Li," Shi Jingchen shouted from behind while playing poker, "Who am I going to sleep with at night? How did you arrange it?"

Ye Li then clapped his hands and said, "Everyone be quiet first, I'll say a few things first."

"Today's arrangement is to arrive at Xifeng Mountain at ten o'clock in the morning. Let's go climbing first. In the afternoon, we will go to the Daning Reservoir, which is not far away. We will have lunch at Xifeng Mountain and dinner at the side of the reservoir. The class has prepared some food. , it may not be enough. Everyone has brought their own food, right?"

"Bring it." The person below shouted.

"That's fine. We rented more than a dozen tents, some for two people and some for three people. It's definitely enough, and everyone can make up whatever they want. Everyone has a sleeping bag."

Shi Jingchen interrupted, "Can I sleep with my wife?"

"Go to hell." Zhou Shi shouted at her from the front.Everyone burst into laughter.

Ye Li said: "I don't care, as long as Teacher Tong agrees. Then, prepare two bottles of water for one person. When you reach the mountain, you can buy it yourself. There should be clean water in the reservoir. Attention everyone, we must act together. Anyone who wants to Go anywhere, tell me, hear me?"

"I heard it!"

"The water in the reservoir is very deep, everyone must pay attention to safety, and no one is allowed to enter the water secretly. And..."

"Understood! Everything is up to you!" Zhou Lei yelled while tossing poker.

Just as Ye Li's butt touched the seat, Lin Congshan stood up and called him again: "Ye Li, Teacher Tong doesn't seem to have brought anything."

Before Tong Yan could speak, Ye Li said, "It's okay, I'll bring it for him."

Ye Li was busy along the way. First, he took medicine for Lin Congshan who was motion sick, and then asked Pu Liang, Su Xiaoqian and Zhou Lei to take care of some equipment when they arrived at the reservoir.He is too busy alone.Later, a total of 36 people were organized into 6 groups, each with a group leader who was responsible for counting the number of people in his team.

Tong Yan began to feel fresh, and now the boring gourd who was a year ago can do everything so well.He was completely relieved, and this was a rare time for him to relax, so he planned to be a "student" in these two days with peace of mind.

Xifeng Mountain is not a famous scenic spot, and there are not many people, but the top of the mountain is very high and the road is steep.The road up the mountain started with steps, and later turned into a dirt road with big rocks sandwiched between them.The two classes consisted of 70 students, walking towards the top of the mountain talking and laughing.After going out for half an hour, the line got longer and longer.Girls are at the end.Tong Yan helped Lin Congshan carry her schoolbag, and Zhou Shi's bag was given to Shi Jingchen.Ye Li originally carried a big bag, which carried water for several people.Seeing that Liu Na's head was covered with sweat dripping down her ponytail, he was embarrassed to ask others to help him, so he said, "Give me the bag."

"no need."

Ye Li snatched her schoolbag and carried it on his chest.

At this time, Guo Qi shouted, "Let's see who gets there first."As soon as Ye Li heard it, he rushed up and shouted to the people in Class [-], "Okay, let's compete".

Most of these students usually sit and read books and play games, not to mention the girls, who are no match for Ye Li when they climb the mountain.He can step up to his chest just by lifting his legs. Others climb three steps, and he can't wait to go up with one step.

Tong Yan watched him walk from the end of the line with two schoolbags on his back, and he couldn't find anyone in the blink of an eye.He followed a few girls and slowly climbed behind. After drinking two bottles of water, he could barely see the top of the mountain.

The last section of the road was very steep, and there was a big rock. Tong Yan supported the tree next to him up, turned around and stretched out his hand to drag a few girls up.He stood panting with his waist tucked in, and looked up at the top of the mountain.

Ye Li was sitting on a protruding rock on the top of the mountain.The trousers retreated above the knees, revealing two smooth and slender calves.Following the direction Tong Yan was looking at, he saw the two legs crossed and swinging.There was that kind of complacent and a little shy expression on his face, and he was looking at him from top to bottom and smiling.

Tong Yan was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Who is number one?"

"Ye Li, we are all too tired to speak, and he is not even breathing!"

It was only then that Tong Yan noticed that Guo Qi from Class [-] was sitting next to Ye Li on the rock on the top of the mountain.

"You... don't care about us... or Teacher Tong!" Zhou Shi shouted from below.

"Let's go, go up and buy you ice cream." Tong Yan said to the girls.

The girls cheered and climbed up one by one.Tong Yan looked up again, and saw Ye Li resting his hands on the stones on both sides, facing the sun and looking up into the distance, his legs were hanging motionless in mid-air.

After finally reaching the top of the mountain, Tong Yan took a few girls into the canteen on the top of the mountain and bought a piece of ice cream for each of them.As soon as he came out, Shi Jingchen yelled: "Teacher Tong, you are biased!"

All of a sudden, dozens of students on the top of the mountain looked at him.Tong Yan smiled and said, "Boys don't need to eat snacks."

Zhou Shi held up a big egg roll, stretched it out in front of Shi Jingchen, pulled it back, tilted his head and licked it, and smiled triumphantly at Shi Jingchen.Shi Jingchen held her hand, and took a big bite involuntarily.

"Hate!" Zhou Shi shouted at him.

People around laughed.Tong Yan was also amused and laughed.As soon as he turned his head, he suddenly saw Ye Li standing in the distance, staring at the ice cream in Zhou Shi's hand, then he closed his mouth and did not speak, his black eyes only staring at himself.

Tong Yan immediately remembered that he had received several messages on his mobile phone that afternoon, all of which asked him to recommend a major assignment in C language.In the past, students only came to him occasionally, but this time he was leading a class for the first time, and he received requests from many students in the class at once.He probably flipped through it, and was about to reply to Pu Liang, who was the first to send a message, when he saw Ye Li's message.

The feeling at this moment is the same as that afternoon.

Tong Yan thought, what a child.

"How many popsicles are there?"

"There are about twenty more."

"Sell me all."

He went out with a box of popsicles in his arms and said, "There are only a dozen or so, first come, first served."

The boys surrounded him with a whoosh.Seeing Ye Li finally squeezed in, Tong Yan pushed the box in front of him, saw him rummaging in the box for a long time, found one from the bottom, glanced at him, and left contentedly.

When Tong Yan finished distributing the ice cream, threw away the box, and came back, he saw Ye Li sitting back on the big rock with his back to him, holding an egg roll that was exactly the same as Zhou Shi ate.
