Chapter 425: with translation of chapter title

"Next Thursday's spring outing, go to A City's newly opened Dujiacun, stay three days two nights." Yu Ci turned his phone a direction, excited, "Zhou Laoshi is counting the numbers."

Mu Youyu took the phone and glanced; inside messages already 99+, mostly saying they'll go, occasionally mixed with a few not going, quickly got drowned.

She scrolled down and saw Zhou Laoshi's message: 【@All members going, the chain sign-up, all expenses reimbursed by the school, gather at school gate Thursday morning 8 AM, bus departs.】

The sign-up already had over twenty numbers; Jiang Liangjin looked beside, Mu Youyu said gently: "Help me sign up too, I'm going."

Youbao

"Okay." Yu Ci lowered his head to type, then asked, "A Jin, are you going or not?"

Mu Xin

"Alright, we four have all signed up."

Mu Xi secretly pulled back the blocked group chat, and also signed herself and Song Lujing up.

Mu Youyu was about to rest her head on the desk when her phone vibrated.

It was a message from Lin Tingsong teacher: 【Ah You, heard you're going to A City spring outing! Art Competition Art Competition】

Nanfeng Gaozhong

Mu Youyu didn't expect that the previous M Guo Art Competition she missed, he still kept mentioning it, she replied: 【Teacher, any Art Competition in A City?】

Lin teacher: 【There's a color creativity Art Competition; I've already signed you up; if you can go, go; actually going is about the same as blowing up fish.】

Mu Youyu stared at Lin teacher's message for a while, typed and deleted on the screen, finally only replied with a little cat sigh emoticon.

The other side probably understood her attitude, then sent another: 【Mainly I have a friend who has a little disciple; Ah You, don't rush to refuse; if you go, it's not bullying, just consider it a lesson…】

The following words go without saying, nothing more than wanting to show off her, and by the way compare the friend's little disciple.

Mu Youyu had no choice: 【Okay Lin teacher, I'll go if I have time】

Lin teacher seemed to have expected this, replied quickly: 【Then it's set, the Art Competition time is Saturday afternoon, right in A City; I asked and it's not far from where you'll be playing, won't affect your fun.】

Mu Youyu felt she'd been schemed, but the words were already out, couldn't find a rebuttal, so only replied: 【Got it.】

She put her phone on the desk, Jiang Liangjin tilted his head to look at her, "What's wrong?"

"Lin teacher signed me up for an Art Competition in A City, the afternoon of the second day of the spring outing."

Lu Jing gege

"The color Art Competition, he said if I go it's just blowing up fish."

Jiang Liangjin agreed with this; Youbao's painting foundation is already far beyond that of her peers, and any big or small award tossed out would be quite valuable.

Moreover, he found it easy to learn from her since childhood—'Are you planning to go?'

"I've already signed up." Mu Youyu paused, reassuring herself, "Anyway, it doesn't affect playing; I'll go paint this afternoon and come back."

Mu Xi listened from the side and chimed in: "Going is fine, just practice a bit; I'll accompany you when the time comes."

"Sure, then second brother will accompany me." Mu Youyu then thought she couldn't be that lazy, and her mood eased.

Mu Xi acknowledged with a sound, and Song Lujing walked in from outside holding a water cup, placing it on his sister's desk, saying, "It's warm."

"Thank you, Lujing brother."

"Serving my sister is my honor." Song Lujing waved his hand and sat back in his seat, "What were we just talking about?"

"There's a spring outing over in A City." Mu Youyu handed him her phone to look at.

Song Lujing lacked interest: "Spring outing? Not much fun, crowded and noisy—I never went before. Are you going, sister?"

Jiang Liangjin raised his eyebrows: "We've both signed up; Brother Xi helped you sign up too."

Song Lujing changed his earlier attitude, his face full of enthusiasm: "Oh, that's how it is—then the spring outing sounds really fun, lively with crowds! How should we arrange it?"

"Just follow the main group, take the bus together." Mu Youyu said softly, "But tomorrow afternoon I have to go to a color competition, so I might be away for a few hours."

"Art School Art Competition?" Song Lujing frowned slightly, "Why does Teacher Lin keep signing you up for Art Competition?"

Just like Brother Xi's teacher.

"It's fine, just think of it as practice." Mu Youyu came to terms with it, soothing him, "It's right near A City, so it won't interfere with playing."

Song Lujing was still not happy: "Then I'll accompany you to the Art Competition, just in case someone is oblivious again."

Mu Youyu chuckled, "Where would there be so many oblivious people?"

"Better safe than sorry," Song Lujing said righteously.

Jiang Liangjin agreed, "Exactly."

Zhou Laoshi stepped in with the bell, holding a folder, his gaze sweeping over the whole class and finally landing on the back row.

"Regarding the spring outing, everyone should have seen that the students who haven't signed up yet are rushing to register, with the deadline next Tuesday."

A few scattered responses came from below, Zhou Laoshi opened the folder and began class.

Mu Youyu was a bit tired of this teacher; after a few months in Class 1, she had already become familiar with the curriculum and each teacher's teaching style.

She was eager to learn; having finished this semester's courses, it didn't matter to her which teacher taught, ……

But why does Zhou Laoshi teach all the main subjects in the class?

Thursday morning at 8 a. m., several buses were parked at the gate of Nanfeng Gaozhong.

When Mu Youyu arrived, the school gate was already crowded with many teachers and students.

Today she wore a light blue jacket, her hair tied in twin tails, carrying a backpack, looking more student-like than usual.

Jiang Liangjin followed behind her, also wearing a blue jacket that matched hers; he carried her art supplies bag and had his own pack on his shoulder, looking like a moving luggage rack.

Mu Xi and Song Lujing stood beside the bus, the bodyguard having already loaded their luggage; seeing them approach, the former lifted his chin, "Let's get on board, the seats are up front."

Mu Youyu responded with a sound and followed Jiang Liangjin onto the bus.

The bus was a luxurious coach, the two of them had spacious seats, no odd smells inside, with individual small tables, much more comfortable than the regular school bus she usually took in A City.

Mu Youyu sat down first by the window; Jiang Liangjin put his belongings in the overhead rack and then took the seat beside her.

As soon as Song Lujing got on the bus, he pulled out his phone and started playing a game.

Mu Xi sat on the opposite side of the aisle, head down replying to a message; the screen showed a message from Mu Xin asking whether his sister had packed enough clothes.

He replied with 「I've brought enough」, the other side sent another message: 【Changeable weather, let her wear more】.

Mu Xi looked at this message, replied with 【Got it】 and put away her phone.

Before everyone had gathered, Mu Youyu, idly bored, opened the family group chat and saw that several brothers said they were going to A City to discuss a contract.

Especially Song Yusui, who has been particularly fierce recently in B Shi, what schemes he's harboring need not be elaborated.
