Chapter 65

The sky had not yet brightened, and the gray, hazy sky seemed somewhat dim.

"The Grassroots Enlightenment School" was now bustling with activity, as if a grand ceremony were taking place. The open area was filled with people.

"Principal, all the teachers and students of the senior class are present!"

Liu Hong, dressed in a red outfit, looked spirited and her graceful figure was even more alluring.

Meng Laik nodded but did not speak. His gaze, however, was fixed on the still somewhat chaotic group, as if he were waiting for something.

"The quality of the junior class students is indeed much worse than that of the senior class!"

It was no wonder he had such thoughts. The senior class was already fully prepared, while the junior class students, who had been temporarily selected, had yet to gather properly, which was a significant difference!

"I hope my last-minute decision will yield some results!"

Sighing, Meng Laik signaled Liu Hong to wait a little longer.

Liu Hong was puzzled. Why were some junior class students being brought along on this forest training trip, which was exclusively for the senior class?

However, despite her curiosity, she did not ask and instead returned to the front of the senior class to explain the precautions for the training.

In fact, Meng Laik made this decision to improve the overall strength of the junior class students. First, it would broaden their horizons, and second, it would serve as a transition for their future entry into the senior class.

Considering the potential safety risks of entering the forest, only a limited number of junior class students could go. Each class had only five recommended spots. Moreover, the responsible teachers would also accompany the group to ensure the students' safety.

This forest training would last only ten days!

In the senior class group, Dong Fangxiuzhe gazed at the stars in the sky, completely ignoring the firm and clear instructions of Teacher Liu Hong.

"Chen Yue and Chen Xing must have already set off by now."

Thinking this, Dong Fangxiuzhe felt a sense of disappointment. He had planned to secretly see them off early this morning, but the "forest training" had completely disrupted his plans.

Glancing at Principal Meng Laik, who was standing not far from the front of the group, Dong Fangxiuzhe couldn't help but think sarcastically, "If we don't come back, you'll just cry!"

Thinking this, Dong Fangxiuzhe's mind conjured up two figures: one was Wang Junqi, who was standing beside him, listening patiently, and the other was Teacher Liu Hong, who was explaining enthusiastically.

"If I get the chance, I'll take both of them away, hehe!"

He chuckled lightly, causing Wang Junqi to glance at him.

"Principal, all the junior class students are present!"

Luneng and Yuchangzhi, the responsible teachers of the junior class, walked up to Principal Meng Laik and said somewhat awkwardly.

"Very well, let's set off. Be extra careful on the way!" Before they left, Meng Laik gave them a final reminder.

He would not be accompanying them on this forest training trip because he needed to stay at the school to oversee it.

Moreover, he needed to use this time to seriously consider whether he should really send Wang Junqi to the "Mystical Magic Academy."

The reason for his hesitation was that he had received another message from the "Mystical Magic Academy" the previous afternoon.

The message was still very simple, with only a few words: "Need to delay for another month!"

Seeing this message, Meng Laik almost lost his temper. He never expected the "Mystical Magic Academy" to repeatedly delay!

"Is my Qiqi really indispensable to your 'Mystical Magic Academy'?"

The arrogant behavior of the other party made Meng Laik very angry, and he began to doubt whether sending Wang Junqi there would mean having to deal with their attitude.

He would never allow such a thing to happen!

Even if the vice-principal of the "Mystical Magic Academy" was a close friend, he would never send Wang Junqi into a fire pit.

Therefore, he would use these few days to carefully consider Wang Junqi's future, firmly believing that with Wang Junqi's talent, he would shine in any school!

Three days passed in a flash.

In a small stream in the forest, many young children, barefoot, were grouped in threes and fours, happily catching fish.

This was their lunch, and whether they could eat depended on their individual harvests.

Liu Hong watched the children with a smile, occasionally offering advice to those who were clumsy, but she did not help them.

All the children were busy, but one small, out-of-place figure caught Liu Hong's attention.

"Again, that hateful guy, he's slacking off again!"

Liu Hong's face darkened, and she quickly walked towards the small figure.

On a smooth stone, Dong Fangxiuzhe lay on his back, using his palm to shield his eyes from the glaring sun, admiring the clouds floating in the sky through the gaps between his fingers.

"Hey, what are you doing here? Don't tell me you're too tired to move again?"

Liu Hong's magnetic voice reached Dong Fangxiuzhe's ears.

Lazily sitting up, Dong Fangxiuzhe glanced at the frowning Liu Hong and said with a smile, "Teacher Liu Hong, lying here is so comfortable!"

Comfortable, my big head!

Liu Hong almost swore, her face dark as she scolded, "We didn't come here to enjoy ourselves. If you don't go catch fish, you won't have anything to eat later!"

To her surprise, the little guy in front of her not only showed no signs of worry but even laughed, which made Liu Hong even angrier.

"I'm not kidding, if you don't catch fish, you won't have any food!" Liu Hong paused and added, "Don't even think about mooching off Qiqi again!"

Thinking about how this little guy had not only refused to work over the past three days but had also shamelessly shared Wang Junqi's labor, Liu Hong was furious. This time, she would not let him get away with it.

Stretching, Dong Fangxiuzhe slowly reached into his chest and muttered, "Yeah, I'm really hungry!"

"Then why don't you go catch some fish..."

Liu Hong's words were cut short, her eyes wide open.

Suddenly, Dong Fangxiuzhe, as if performing a magic trick, calmly pulled out a bag of meat buns from his chest.

At that moment, Liu Hong could feel the veins on her forehead bulging.

"The buns are a bit cold," Dong Fangxiuzhe, feeling the buns in the bag, slowly raised his head and continued, "Teacher Liu Hong, can you use your fire magic to warm them up for me?"

At that moment, Liu Hong suddenly had the urge to steam the little guy in front of her!
