His shout woke up Hao Ren, Zhao Jiayi, and Cao Ronghua.
On the other side of the hallway, Room 301 was creating a commotion as well. Huang Jianfeng and his roommates rushed out with washbasins, towels, toothbrushes, and toothpaste.
They had never gotten up so early on a weekday, not to mention a Saturday morning!
“Beauties, wait for me!” Excited, Zhou Liren dashed to the public washroom with his washbasin.
Huang Jianfeng followed him with his toothbrush and washbasin noisily. They were so excited as if they were going to a carnival.
The bus Xie Yujia booked was waiting for them at the roadside in front of the student dorm area. Shortly, Xie Yujia, Ma Lina, and the other girls came.
Xie Yujia was wearing a pair of shorts with short boots which accentuated the elegant lines of her legs. With a pair of sunglasses on, the usually simple-clothed Xie Yujia was quite stylish today.
Sitting in the back row of the bus, Zhao Liren was amazed. He bumped Hao Ren with his elbow and asked, “Hey, is that Xie Yujia?”
Hao Ren had been reading. He looked up and saw Xie Yujia walking along the aisle of the bus.
The tall and slim figure, elegant aura, smooth skin, and fashionable clothes!
If not for the familiar face, Hao Ren wouldn’t have recognized her.
“F*ck! Xie Yujia has the potential of becoming a big star!” Yu Rong mumbled beside them.
As Xie Yujia strolled toward the back rows of the bus, the guys’ hearts began to race!
She had the elegance and confidence of a big celebrity!
“Yujia, let’s sit here!” Ma Lina pulled her to a seat several rows before Hao Ren and his buddies.
“No…” The guys were disappointed.
About a quarter to eight, the guys with girlfriends began to arrive. Yu Rong and the other single guys were jealous as they watched them get on the bus hand in hand.
“Ren! How come Lu Linlin and Lu Lili are not here?” Zhou Liren asked Hao Ren.
“I never said they would come,” Hao Ren replied.
“What a shame!” Zhou Liren complained, “A group of single guys touring Xin’an City! That’s no fun!”
The guys who led girlfriends onto the bus all turned to look at Xie Yujia sitting by the window when they passed.
Not recognizing her, they thought she was a friend Ma Lina brought to the trip. Their girlfriends all whispered at them, asking, “Who is she?”
The girls all felt an invisible pressure from Xie Yujia’s dazzling and straightforward elegance.
To satisfy their boyfriends’ vanity, all of them dressed up. But obviously, they were overshadowed by Xie Yujia.
After everyone had taken a seat, Xie Yujia stood up and did the roll call. Then, she called out to the driver, “Sir, everyone is here. Let’s go!”
She had pushed her sunglasses over her forehead, and her long black hair looked silky and fresh. Yu Rong and the guys felt like their hearts began to race.
The bus drove slowly, and the sunshine outside made it look like a day in spring.
Xie Yujia sat back down and took out a novel from her backpack. She began to read quietly while leaning against the window.
Sunlight shone on her through the window pane. Half of her body was in the sunshine while the other half was in the shads.
Her hands that were holding the book were like jades in the sunshine with the light blue veins visible. The part of her in the shadow looked like a pure white luminous pearl that was hidden in the dark.
“I didn’t notice that Xie Yujia is so pretty!” Zhao Jiayi exclaimed in appreciation while eating chips.
“She never dressed up before! I told you that the Class President is beautiful,” Gu Jiadong, who had the looks of a decent guy, blurted out.
“Well, I wonder which lucky dog will become her boyfriend…” Yu Rong sighed.
Through the slits between the chairs before him, Hao Ren glanced at Xie Yujia but didn’t join their discussion. He resumed his reading of the architectural design book.
After this weekend, Xie Yujia would probably be gone shortly, and that was why she didn’t want to be too bossy with them as the Class President.
In fact, Xie Yujia didn’t care about the small power attached to the title of the Class President. She just wanted to do something for the class and keep the energetic guys out of trouble.
The bus left East Ocean City and entered the highway. The excited singly guys began to pass around the food they bought in the store last night. Comparatively, the guys with girlfriends appeared more restrained.
The bus entered Xin’an City in their high-spirited talks.
“Wow! Beauties!” When the bus entered the city, Zhou Liren pulled the curtain aside and looked out of the window. He exclaimed at the sight of some girls in mini-skirts.
“Don’t ruin the reputation of the students of East Ocean City!” Zhao Jiayi reached out and slapped Zhou Liren on the head.
Zhou Liren nodded sulkily, but he still sneaked glances to the road outside.
“Here we are!” The driver yelled before stopping the bus on the side of the road. Then, the door slid open.
“Thank you! Please come back to pick us at about four o’clock tomorrow afternoon!” Xie Yujia stood up and thanked the bus driver in her crisp voice. She called out, “Here we are! Everyone, get off the bus in a line!”
She looked like an energetic tour guide, and her excellent organization skills made it an easy job for her. The guys got excited and walked down the bus to breathe in the fresh air of Xin’an City.
“Beauties, wait for me!” Zhou Liren was the first to rush out of the bus. He spread his arms toward the sky.
But he quickly lost his posture when Zhao Jiayi kicked his butt from behind.
Xie Yujia stood by the roadside and told the group, “We can visit the Big Buddha Temple this morning and have lunch together. After that, we have no more group activities. In the evening, if you like, we can tour the night market of Xin’an City together. Tomorrow morning, we have no group activities. After lunch, let’s gather together and go to Sanmu University to watch the basketball match.”
Since it was a rare opportunity for the classmates to enjoy some together time and the trip gave them lots of free time, everyone agreed to the plan.
Seeing everyone agreeing to tour the Big Buddha Temple together, Xie Yujia led the group to a nearby Hanting Hotel.
“Put your bags in your hotel rooms, and we’ll go to the Big Buddha Temple without any burdens.”
“Ok!” Following the pretty and vibrant Xie Yujia, everyone looked high-spirited. Excellent weather and beautiful Class President; everything was perfect!
After entering the hotel, Xie Yujia got the keys to the rooms she had booked and began to allocate them.
“Zhou Liren and Cao Ronghua, you two share a room! Yu Rong and Gu Jiadong, you two share a room! Huang Jianfen and Yang Zhili, you two share a room!…”
“Zhao Jiayi needs to report back to the basketball team tonight, so Hao Ren has a room to himself!” Xie Yujia handed the last key to Hao Ren.
