Chapter 255 Fragrant Hills Gathering
As she spoke, Zhu Jing quickly began packing things into her bag.
And so, everyone hurriedly packed the various foods that Zhao Zhaodi had brought into their own bags.
After finishing the setup, Zhao Zhaodi took out her phone to call the other classmates and tell them to meet at the foot of Fragrant Hills.
Once everything was ready, everyone hopped on their bicycles, filled with anticipation and excitement, and left Zhao Zhaodi's house, speeding towards the foot of Fragrant Hills.
Along the way, a gentle breeze caressed my face, and the sunlight shone on my body, making me feel incredibly comfortable.
The backpacks filled with delicious food seemed to be the most solid guarantee for this trip, filling everyone with confidence and anticipation for the upcoming trip to Fragrant Hills.
When they arrived at the foot of Fragrant Hills, the other students had already been waiting there for a long time.
They either gathered in small groups, chatting excitedly, or anxiously peered towards the end of the road, anticipating the arrival of their companions.
When we finally came into view, the scene erupted in enthusiastic cheers and laughter.
They hugged each other tightly like long-lost relatives, greeted each other, and couldn't wait to share all the interesting things that happened during this long holiday.
Amidst laughter and cheerful conversation, everyone skillfully and neatly parked their bicycles in the designated area at the foot of Fragrant Hills.
Afterwards, the group of people enthusiastically and slowly made their way up the winding mountain road.
Along the way, everyone chatted and laughed, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the mountains.
The fresh air, lush trees, and the occasional birdsong are all delightful.
After searching for a while, the group finally found a picturesque meadow.
Here, the grass is lush and green, the flowers are in full bloom, and a gentle breeze carries the fragrance of flowers.
Everyone worked together to spread out the newspapers they had prepared beforehand as tablecloths, and then took out the carefully prepared delicacies from their backpacks, which were laid out all over the ground in a dazzling array.
Just as everyone was happily enjoying the food and chatting, someone suddenly started singing a very popular song at the time.
The melodious tune instantly attracted everyone's attention, and everyone put down their food and hummed along softly to the rhythm.
The singing echoed through the mountains, seemingly blending into nature, full of youthful vigor and vitality.
As the music ended, the lingering notes remained, captivating the listener.
After the song was finished, the atmosphere became even more lively.
They then played some simple and fun games, such as riddles and relay races.
During the game, everyone was fully engaged and thoroughly enjoyed this rare moment of joy.
Those who lose the game must, according to the rules, reveal a secret or perform a spectacular act.
In an instant, the grassy area was filled with laughter and cheers.
Before we knew it, the sun had slowly begun to tilt westward, and the golden afterglow spread across the earth, casting a soft halo over the entire mountain forest.
As the picnic drew to a close, everyone began to pack up their belongings and clean up the trash, restoring the beautiful meadow to its original tidiness.
However, at that moment, a faint sense of sorrow and parting quietly welled up in my heart.
Because everyone knows clearly that after this gathering, many people will go their separate ways and start a new chapter in their lives.
Among this group, Chen Runping is about to embark on his journey to the army. He cherishes the dream of defending his country and is determined to become an outstanding soldier.
Li Bin is about to head to Guangzhou to pursue deeper knowledge and broader development opportunities;
Shen Shanshan is also heading to the bustling city of Shanghai to further her studies and pursue her dreams...
As for Muli? Perhaps she also has her own unique plans for the future.
Thinking about this, everyone couldn't help but sigh at how quickly time flies, while also expressing their blessings and expectations for each other's future.
"Chen Runping, when exactly are you leaving the day after tomorrow?"
Yan Meili blinked her big, bright eyes and asked curiously.
Chen Runping smiled and answered calmly:
"Our train is at 9 a.m. the day after tomorrow. We'll leave together from the Armed Forces Department at 8:30 a.m. to go to the train station, and there will be a special train to pick us up."
Upon hearing this, Li Bin quickly interjected:
"Those of you in our class who are planning to see Chen Runping off the day after tomorrow, remember to gather at Chen Runping's house at 8 o'clock to bid farewell to our handsome young man! After all, he's our class's one and only military brother!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Bin chimed in:
"Yes, yes, yes! It would be best if more female classmates came. Think about it, sending off a soldier like this is much more atmospheric when female classmates are present, isn't it?"
As he spoke, he playfully winked at everyone.
At this moment, Li Bin suddenly turned his gaze to Zhao Zhaodi and said with a serious expression:
"Zhao Zhaodi, you absolutely have to come this time! Otherwise, even if all the other classmates come, they still won't be as important as you alone!"
Faced with Li Bin's direct invitation, Zhao Zhaodi blushed slightly, but still nodded gently in response:
"Okay, I know. We're all classmates, so I'll definitely go with Meili and the others to see Chen Runping off."
For a moment, the atmosphere seemed to become somewhat melancholy, but this slight sadness did not last long and was dispelled by the laughter and cheers of the crowd—it turned out that they had already made a promise to get together again after the winter vacation!
They stood side by side atop the mountain, gazing intently at the setting sun.
The magnificent sunset, as beautiful as a poem or a painting, was like a colorful ribbon, gently draped over everyone's faces, as if nature, the magical painter, had specially painted the most enchanting and captivating color for their youth.
Afterwards, carrying those beautiful and precious memories, they embarked on their journey home with satisfaction, returning to their warm homes and joyfully preparing to welcome a new chapter in their lives.
Time flies like an arrow, passing in the blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye, this special day arrived—the day before Chen Runping was to enlist in the army.
On this morning, sunlight shone through the thin clouds, scattering down and illuminating everything on earth.
After getting up early and washing up, Chen Runping dressed up carefully. With a mix of excitement and trepidation, he dialed Zhao Zhaodi's number and invited her to the library to spend this unforgettable day together.
When they arrived at the library, it was quiet and peaceful, with only the occasional soft sound of turning pages and people talking in hushed tones.
