Chapter 312 My Water is Your Water

The bus started with the hum of the engine and slowly drove onto the main road. After crossing Ningshan Avenue in the north of Yinjiang District, it quickly got on the highway and headed towards Yuquan County.

Inside the bus, Li Luo held the microphone and stood at the front of the car. He opened the tour guide cushion and leaned his lower back on it so he would not fall due to the bumps of the bus.

"Our trip to the farm this time is for three days and two nights."

"From today, the 17th, we will arrive around 19: in a while, and will gather and return at : pm on the th."

"On the 17th, which is today, after we arrive at the farmhouse, we will go to the accommodation to allocate a room."

"Then the owner of the farmhouse will take us for a walk inside."

"That place is very big. When you visit, everyone must listen carefully and remember which places guests can go to and which places they cannot go to."

"Within three days, except for some group outings, such as mountain climbing and orchard picking experiences, it is strictly forbidden to leave the farmhouse during other time periods."

"At the same time, everyone brought their cell phones. I also have your own and your parents' cell phone numbers. During these three days, everyone must turn on the ringtone of their cell phones. Vibrate or mute are not allowed. Keep the phone turned on at all times to ensure that I can contact you at any time."

"After visiting and confirming the scope of the farmhouse in the morning, let's have lunch first."

"The afternoon is free time for everyone. You can choose the activities you want to play according to your interest level during the previous visit."

"At six o'clock in the evening, we will gather at the location we have decided in advance and prepare to have dinner together."

"Then, for safety reasons, the evening is a time for group activities. Everyone will gather in one place, chat, and play some small games they want to play. For example, didn't Zhu Yufei bring the game Three Kingdoms? We can all play it then."

"When it's about ten o'clock in the evening, we'll go back to our rooms and sleep and rest."

"We got up at 7 a.m. the next day, washed up, had breakfast, and then we had a group mountain climbing activity at 8 a.m."

"The afternoon is still free time, you can decide what to do."

"In the evening, a bonfire party is planned, and there will be barbecues and other activities."

"We will play until 10pm and go to bed. On the third morning, we will go to the orchard to pick fruits. You can take the fruits home, but there will be a charge for them. It's up to you whether you want to take them home or not. The price should be slightly cheaper than at the fruit shop."

"We'll have lunch on the 19th, and we'll have free time until three o'clock in the afternoon. Then we'll go back to the room to pack our luggage, meet at the entrance of the farmhouse for the bus, and go home on time at four o'clock."

After explaining the entire process clearly, Li Luo did not give them any time to react and immediately called out by name, "Lin Yuan!"

"Here!" Lin Yuan was still thinking about what to do during the free time when his name was suddenly called. He was so startled that he stood up reflexively.

"This is not a military training. We have already called the roll call. Why are you here?" Li Luo said with a smile.

Everyone laughed, Lin Yuan's face turned slightly red, and he muttered quietly: "You scared me."

"Come on, let me test you." Li Luo said, "Which of the things I just said do you think is the most important to you?"

"Uh..." Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, thinking, why can't you ask something simple? Why are you asking such a subjective question right away? So he subconsciously answered, "Free time is very important to me."

"Wrong." Li Luo said mercilessly, "Take out your phone."

"Ah?" Lin Yuan was stunned again, then he took out his cell phone. Li Luo walked up to him, took out his own cell phone, and made a call.

Soon, Lin Yuan's phone screen lit up, but it didn't even vibrate. Even when a call came in, it remained on silent.

After all, this is the stage of competing wits and courage with parents, and the mobile phones are kept in silent mode at all times to avoid being exposed when playing with the phone.

"This is the most important thing for you." Li Luo pointed at his phone and said seriously, "It's not just Lin Yuan, the rest of you too, take out your phones now and change all the settings from silent or vibrate to ringtone mode."

As soon as the words fell, everyone obediently took out their mobile phones and adjusted them.

Li Luo nodded in confirmation, then returned to the tour guide seat at the front of the car, and smiled at the parents in the front row: "Uncles, aunts, and teachers should also turn their phones to ring mode. Although they are all adults and should not get lost by themselves, we still have to be prepared for the possibility of an emergency."

Kong Junxiang glanced at the parents and saw that almost no one had taken out their phones. They probably kept their phones on ring mode. So he smiled and said, "Do you think we are the same as you?"

"I usually play with my phone secretly, and I have to turn it to silent mode to feel at ease."

"We must have the ring mode on normally."

"That's what I said." Li Luo laughed and then said to Ding Xiang, "Then Teacher Ding, Teacher Kong bullied me, so I will test you."

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean?" Kong Junxiang glared at him. "What do you mean I'm bullying you? Why don't you test Teacher Ding? Why don't you test me?"

When the students behind saw this scene, they started to laugh.

Li Luo said as a matter of course: "Husband and wife are of the same mind, there is no difference."

"Just ask." Ding Xiang said with a smile.

"Excuse me, if you saw Zhu Yufei and Zhang Guohuang fighting this afternoon, what would you do?"

"Your question is beyond the scope." Ding Xiang laughed, "You didn't mention this just now."

"When we were taking the exam, you never asked us to do the questions on the test paper in advance." Li Luo said innocently.

Ding Xiang shook her head and smiled, then thought for a while and said, "Then I must step forward to stop them."

"Yes, but it's better to call me or my dad." Li Luo said, "Teacher Ding is a girl. If Zhu Yufei and Zhang Guohuang are angry, you might get hurt if you go to stop them alone."

"Squad leader, please give me an example of someone else." Zhu Yufei said speechlessly in the back row, "How can I possibly fight with this guy?"

"Why not?" Zhang Guohuang raised his hand and reported, "This guy bullies me in the dormitory all day long. Teacher Kong, uh, uh, uh... Look! This is it... uh!"

Before Zhang Guohuang could finish his sentence, Zhu Yufei covered his mouth in annoyance and pushed him back to his seat.

"Look, the fight has started."

Li Luo said with a smile, and then suddenly looked at Lin Xiuhong: "Ms. Lin Xiuhong, I also have a question for you."

"Are you still asking me?" Lin Xiuhong raised her eyebrows, glanced at her son, and gave him face, "Then ask it yourself."

"What are your responsibilities during the free afternoon?"

This question confused Lin Xiuhong for a moment: "What else can it be? Just have fun."

"Comrade Lin Xiuhong, your ideological awareness is a bit insufficient," Li Luo commented and criticized.

"You kid." Lin Xiuhong couldn't help but stand up and slap him, "You want to be beaten, right?"

"Hey, hey, hey, everyone is watching. Is this what your tutor does?" Li Luo smiled and slid to the back row, then said, "Although the afternoon is free time, your and dad's task is mainly to have fun with the uncles and aunts."

"Although the uncles and aunts are here to accompany their own children, we are all classmates. This time, we are divided into classes and mainly come to play with our classmates."

"Uncle and aunt, just treat it as a place to relax. I'm looking after your son and daughter, so just relax and have fun."

After hearing this, the parents understood what Li Luo meant and started laughing. They were not disgusted by what Li Luo said.

After asking a few questions, Li Luo walked to his seat and asked Yan Zhusheng to give him the guitar.

Then he came to the empty seats in the fourth and fifth rows and said to the three unlucky people who had not answered correctly, "Please come in, the three of you. It's a pity that you failed the test and need to be punished."

"How do you want to punish me?" Lin Xiuhong asked.

"Mom, would you like to sing a song?" Li Luo asked with a smile.

"No, no, I can't sing well." Lin Xiuhong waved her hands repeatedly. There were so many people here, it would be so embarrassing if she sang badly.

"Don't be afraid." Li Luo handed the microphone to Lin Xiuhong, and then he gently played the guitar in his arms, and a familiar rhythm sounded, "Come on, sing along with me. I remember you usually like to sing this song the most."

As he spoke, Li Luo hummed softly: "Looking back slowly~the night that once belonged to each other~Honghong is still you~the sunshine that you gave to my heart~"

This is the Cantonese song "Thousands of Songs".

In Lin Xiuhong's era, Mandarin songs were not as popular as they are now. The Cantonese songs that people listened to most were those that spread to the mainland.

Upon hearing this familiar melody and lyrics, not only Lin Xiuhong, but also the other parents sitting nearby, became eager to sing along, and their lips started moving.

Lin Xiuhong, influenced by her son, picked up the microphone and hummed: "Even if there are thousands of songs in the future, they will float on my distant road. Even if there are thousands of stars in the future, they will be brighter than the moon tonight."

After singing a song, Lin Xiuhong also enjoyed it very much.

After Li Luo finished playing his guitar, he immediately pointed at the students in the back row and shouted, "Isn't my mom's singing good? Where's the applause?"

"It sounds good!" Zhu Yufei was the first to show his support and stood up and applauded loudly.

Others also clapped their hands. Because Xu Yinghuan was familiar with Lin Xiuhong, she stood up and shouted, "Auntie, sing another song! I like it so much!"

When Yan Zhusheng heard this, he glanced suspiciously at Xu Yinghuan across the aisle, frowned a little unhappy, and pulled Xu Yinghuan, who stood up and made a fuss, down.

"No... Zhusheng, what are you doing?" Xu Yinghuan sat down on the chair, stunned for a moment, turned his head and asked Yan Zhusheng.

"Auntie gets tired after singing just one song, so don't let her sing too much." Yan Zhusheng said with a stern face.

Xu Yinghuan: "...You are really hopeless."

"Don't worry, there are still two." Li Luo took the microphone from Lin Xiuhong and handed it to Ding Xiang, "Teacher Ding, do you want to sing a song too? Tell me what you want to sing, and I'll accompany you."

"How about dimples?" Dingxiang looked at Kong Junxiang with a smile, winked at him, and placed the microphone between them.

Li Luo raised his eyebrows and immediately laughed: "It looks like you can buy one get one free, of course."

After saying that, he began to accompany Ding Xiang and Kong Junxiang.

Kong Junxiang had no choice but to sing a song called "Dimples" with Dingxiang. The students in the back row started to cheer and make noises. The back of the bus almost became a mountain of flowers and fruits, with a bunch of monkeys making a lot of noise.

After the two victims finished singing, Li Luo handed the guitar to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan happily took the guitar, glanced at Hua Xiuxiu who was sitting in the row behind him, cleared his throat, and began to play and sing.

The song he sang was actually Li Luo’s song “Waiting for You to Finish Class”.

After hearing this song, many students looked a little strange, and looked at Li Luo. But Li Luo was completely unaware of this. After Lin Yuan finished singing a song, seeing that half an hour had passed, he took the microphone and said, "We will be at the farmhouse in half an hour. Everyone take a break and save your energy to release it when you get there."

After saying that, he put the microphone back, then returned to his seat and let out a long sigh.

To be honest, controlling the situation is no longer a difficult task for him now.

When he was young, he would probably stutter if he spoke on stage.

But after going through so many things in the previous life, things like this one, just to create an atmosphere in front of everyone, are really insignificant.

However, he was kept awake by Xu Youyu until two in the morning last night, and he accompanied Ying Chanxi for a morning run in the morning, and just now he was standing at the front of the car and talking.

Although the driver drove steadily, it was still a difficult situation in the car. Li Luo spoke for more than half an hour and felt a little dizzy.

After returning to his seat, he covered his forehead and closed his eyes.

"Li Luo."

Just as he was about to close his eyes to rest, Li Luo heard Yan Zhusheng's voice. He opened his eyes and turned to look at her. She easily unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to him: "Moisten your throat."

"Thank you." Li Luo's throat was a little dry, so he reached out to take it, and then suddenly asked suspiciously, "Isn't this something you've drunk before?"

"No." Yan Zhusheng shook his head, "Just unscrewed it."

Li Luo nodded, not knowing whether he was relieved or disappointed. He took the bottle of water and took two sips to moisten his throat.

After watching him finish drinking the water, Yan Zhusheng considerately took the bottle again and screwed the cap back on.

Seeing that Li Luo was about to close his eyes and go to sleep again, Yan Zhusheng patted his shoulder, then reached out and hooked his head, letting him lean on his shoulder: "Don't lean against the window, it's too hard over there, it's uncomfortable to sleep, sleep like this."

Li Luo was forced to lean over by her head and rest on her soft shoulders.

Yan Zhusheng had a slender figure to begin with, and she had deliberately straightened her back, so Li Luo didn't need to lean over at a too large an angle. He could just slide his body down a little and easily lean on Yan Zhusheng's round shoulders.

However, Li Luo was still a little embarrassed and whispered, "Isn't this a bit embarrassing?"

"What's wrong with that?" Yan Zhusheng asked doubtfully, "Don't worry, no one else can see it."

"Xu Yinghuan is not a human?"

"She is not an outsider." Yan Zhusheng patted Li Luo's head, "Go to sleep."

Since Yan Zhusheng said so, Li Luo didn't bother to be polite with her anymore. He leaned on Yan Zhusheng's shoulder, smelling the faint fragrance on her body, and fell asleep peacefully in the slight bumps of the bus.

After hearing Li Luo's slight snoring, Yan Zhusheng secretly took out the bottle of water that Li Luo had just drunk.

He glanced around and then looked at Li Luo. After making sure that he was asleep, he quietly unscrewed the bottle cap and began to drink in small sips.

While drinking, he squinted his eyes with pleasure, just like a kitten stealing water from its owner's cup.

After drinking, Yan Zhusheng couldn't sleep. When Xu Yinghuan tried to talk to her, she immediately put her fingers in front of her mouth, then pointed at Li Luo who was sleeping soundly, asking Xu Yinghuan not to make any noise.

When Xu Yinghuan saw this scene, she was covered with dog food and immediately let out a click of the tongue, but then she couldn't help but look at it a few more times and continued to enjoy the sweet food.

Yan Zhusheng took out his cell phone and secretly took a selfie of the two of them while Li Luo was asleep.

Li Luo was sleeping soundly on her shoulder. His quiet face looked extremely calm, yet a hint of naivety was revealed in his sleep, which somewhat mitigated the coldness brought by his sharp lines.

So handsome.

Yan Zhusheng pursed his lips, then secretly changed the angles to several different ones, capturing the image of Li Luo sleeping on his shoulder from all angles.

Then she spent more than ten minutes, struggling to select one from the many photos and changed it as the screen background of her phone.

Then, like a kitten that had done something wrong, he immediately turned off his phone, fearing that others would discover his little action.

……

At around 9:20, the bus stopped smoothly in front of the farm house.

Although it is called a farm stay, it is actually quite different from the traditional rural home.

This is a farmhouse entertainment center located at the foot of the mountain, which was specially built by Li Guoru's friends.

It is mainly used by that friend to receive business clients, and it also undertakes gatherings organized by some company groups.

Because it was only built half a year ago, there is not much business here except for receiving some customers and guests introduced by friends.

So Li Guoru happened to come to me and made an appointment, booking all three days.

Out of respect for Li Guoru, the price was quite affordable. Even if each student in Class 200 only paid yuan, Li Luo would not have to subsidize too much.

When the bus stopped at the parking lot in front of the farm house, everyone got up and got off the bus at the call of Kong Junxiang.

But Li Luo was probably too sleepy, so even the loud noise did not wake him up.

So Yan Zhusheng sat quietly and let the other students go first, wanting to let Li Luo sleep a little longer, even for a little while.

But in this way, whenever the students in the back row passed by, they couldn't help but take a look at Yan Zhusheng and Li Luo.

When they saw the squad leader sleeping on Yan Zhusheng's shoulder with his parents in front of them, they couldn't help but feel a sense of respect for him.

He is worthy of being the class monitor as he is so arrogant in picking up girls right under his parents’ noses!
After all the students in the back row had gotten off, Yan Zhusheng woke Li Luo up and said while he was still a little dazed: "Li Luo, we're here, it's time to get off."

"Hmm... um..." Li Luo lifted his head from Yan Zhusheng's shoulder, rubbed his temple, stood up a little dazedly, and after glancing around, he was stunned for a moment, "Where is the person?"

"They're all waiting downstairs." Yan Zhusheng pointed under the car.

Li Luo lifted the curtain of the car window and saw that everyone was already waiting outside as arranged by Kong Junxiang.

Zhu Yufei and Zhang Guohuang were two funny guys. They even stood under Li Luo's car window. When they saw the curtain was lifted, they waved at him with a smile and gave him a thumbs up.

Seeing this, Li Luo's face suddenly darkened: "Didn't you say you would wake me up when we got to the place?"

"Yes." Yan Zhusheng nodded, "I have already woken you up."

"But they all got off the bus. Did you see me sleeping on your shoulder just now?"

"I saw it." Yan Zhusheng nodded happily, "I saw that you were sleeping very soundly, so I wanted to let you sleep a little longer."

"Then I still have to thank you?"

"You're welcome."

Li Luo rolled his eyes and quickly urged Yan Zhusheng to get up. Then the two of them quickly got out of the car and came to the door of the farm house.

Under the leadership of the two sports committee members Zhu Yufei and Yan Zhusheng, the boys and girls formed two rows each and followed in a square formation.

Li Luo took the lead and walked in front, parallel to the parents and teachers beside him.

Li Guoru was already walking towards the entrance of the farmhouse with a smile on his face. He hugged and greeted his old friends for a while, and then called on Li Luo and the others to follow him.

The group followed the boss in front, passed three small fish ponds, and arrived at the accommodation area in the deepest part of the farm house.

The house is six stories high and looks not much different from a small hotel.

There are ten rooms on one floor, which is definitely more than enough to accommodate their group of people.

Before coming to the farm house, the boys and girls had already found their own friends early, so there was no dispute when allocating rooms.

This time, except for Li Luo, there were thirty people left, fourteen boys and sixteen girls, who were paired up in pairs.

The boys live in eight rooms on the first floor.

The girls live in eight rooms on the second floor.

The parents live on the third floor.

Of course, there are still many empty rooms, so it’s no problem to have one room for each person.

But that will cost extra money.

As the squad leader, Li Luo chose his own room without hesitation.

Yan Zhusheng was quite tempted, but Li Luo still forced her to be with Xu Yinghuan, and asked them to sleep on the second floor.

By the time everyone had arranged their rooms and put away their luggage, it was already close to ten o'clock in the morning.

Under the instructions of the owner of the farm house, several waiters led all of them to walk around the farm house to familiarize themselves with the environment.

When it was time for lunch around eleven o'clock, we went to the big restaurant in the farm center to have lunch.

"Why is there so little water?"

Before the food was served, Li Luo, who was sitting at the round table, glanced at the bottle of mineral water that Yan Zhusheng took out of his bag, and immediately asked with a suspicious look on his face.

"I was thirsty on the way, so I drank a few sips." Yan Zhusheng blinked and said innocently, and handed the water bottle to Li Luo, "Do you want to drink more?"

Li Luo: "...you should keep it for yourself."

"I don't dislike you."

"I don't think it's necessary."

"Li Luo, do you dislike me?"

"No."

"Then you can drink the rest." Yan Zhusheng said, "I've already had enough."
