After finishing all these miscellaneous tasks and heading back, it was nearly nine o’clock. Upon returning, he noticed that Liang Xiaohan’s bedroom door was closed, indicating she was probably asleep, so he didn’t disturb her. Quietly, he returned to his own room, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and gradually fell asleep.
Getting to sleep early, as tomorrow there was a whole pile of things waiting for him to handle.
The next day, Sunday, when the sun rose, the sunlight shone through the window onto the bed. To avoid the sun casting directly on his face and disrupting his sleep, Hao Jian had moved the bed around, so the sunlight at most only shined on his feet but definitely couldn’t reach his face. This way, no matter how bright the sun, it wouldn’t wake him up.
Unfortunately, his sleep wasn’t that deep, and when the sun came up, he sleepily opened his eyes, looking like he had been disturbed. Even though he was awake, he had no intention of getting out of bed—a bed so comfortable he just wanted to lie there for a while longer in peace.
However, at this moment, a knocking sound came from outside the door. The knocking was light, but his hearing was unusually sharp, so he heard it effortlessly and exceptionally clearly. If it were a guy knocking, even politely, the sound penetration would be quite strong, but the knock was gentle—clearly a girl was knocking.
But this early in the morning, not even nine o’clock, and on a weekend, most people were still asleep. Who could be knocking at such a time? Hao Jian was puzzled. Could it be Liang Xiaohan? But Liang Xiaohan wouldn’t get up so early, and she had a key; if she went out, she would take her key and could open the door herself.
He was puzzled, unable to guess who would be knocking at this time, so he slowly got up and dressed. He was accustomed to sleeping naked because it was comfortable for him, so dressing took him some time—though only a matter of tens of seconds. By the time he, with a sleep-laden face, reached the door, it had been about a minute.
Opening the door, he just wanted to ask who had come so early and for what purpose, yet before he could speak, he saw a refreshingly dressed Zhang Danlin standing right there in front of him at the door.
Today, Zhang Danlin wore a refreshing dress and a pair of artsy large glasses, exuding a sunny girl vibe as she looked at him. Although he had woken up naturally, he was still a bit sleepy, not fully awake from sleep, a bit groggy.
But upon seeing Zhang Danlin’s getup, he was instantly infected by her overwhelmingly fresh aura and immediately woke up with a joyful feeling.
"Hi!" Zhang Danlin waved shyly at him.
He immediately waved back, saying, "Hi."
Zhang Danlin said apologetically, "Um... sorry for coming over so early, was it a bit of a disturbance to your sleep?"
Hao Jian wasn’t used to such a gentle Zhang Danlin and felt a bit surprised. This might be the direct change brought by her fresh look today. Hao Jian thought so.
So he hurriedly said, "No, no, I would have woken up anyway, you just gave me a chance to get out of bed."
Seeing Zhang Danlin still standing outside, he fully opened the door and said, "Come on in, don’t just stand there."
Zhang Danlin nodded and came in. It wasn’t her first time there; after entering, she sat down on the sofa. She said, "So... I was going to message you to ask when you’d be free to discuss the class outing, but on second thought, I figured I’d just come over, so here I am. Since you just woke up, why don’t you clean up a bit, eat something, and then we can talk about it?"
Hao Jian nodded, made a sound of acknowledgment, and went to freshen up. Having just woken up, he hadn’t brushed his teeth or washed his face, his mouth still with a taste, and some sleep in his eyes. Seeing Zhang Danlin so refreshed, if she smelled his morning breath and saw the sleep in his eyes, it would utterly ruin his image.
So without saying much, after pouring Zhang Danlin a glass of water, he proceeded to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. Minutes later, he finished freshening up and came out.
Meanwhile, sitting alone at the table, Zhang Danlin was feeling uneasy. In fact, she had thought for a long time before deciding to come over to see Hao Jian early in the morning.
After receiving a message sent by Liang Xiaohan using Hao Jian’s account last night, she had hit rock bottom, feeling unwell and barely sleeping all night. She finally fell asleep around four or five in the morning, only to wake up after seven and come over.
She thought for a long time, feeling that if she didn’t see Hao Jian, those doubts in her heart would never be resolved. She wanted to see Hao Jian, and urgently wanted to see him, so she came over early in the morning. She believed Liang Xiaohan purposely used those photos to annoy her, but the reality might not be as it seemed.
She felt she was just finding Hao Jian for class matters, nothing more. Even if Liang Xiaohan and Hao Jian were together, why hadn’t they told anyone? If they were really in a relationship, there would be no need to hide it.
Which means they might not be a couple. As long as Hao Jian was single, both being single, anyone had the right to pursue, right? So she came to confirm. With this purpose, she felt a bit anxious and uneasy when alone.
She looked around, seeing nothing unusual, not seeing any trace of Liang Xiaohan. She felt a joy in her heart; Liang Xiaohan wasn’t there, which meant she didn’t stay over last night. That was great.
While she was thinking, Hao Jian suddenly came over with a plate of fruits, placed it in front of her, and said, "Have some fruits."
She symbolically picked up a washed apple and started eating it. At this point, she took out a small notebook from her bag and said to Hao Jian, "Oh, by the way, I’ve already contacted the car rental company you picked, Spring Travel. The price is right. The date is set for the weekend after next. Our class only needs one bus, which will arrive at the school gate at seven in the morning on Saturday of the weekend after next. We’ll meet there and get on the bus."········································································································
Hao Jian looked a bit surprised, not expecting her to be so efficient and said, "Alright! You decide."
"Did you make the guidebook for the Ancient Town?" Zhang Danlin suddenly looked up at him.
Hao Jian thought about it; he looked at it a bit last night but then Liang Xiaohan took his phone, so he hadn’t finished. He said, "I browsed a little, just got a rough idea."
Zhang Danlin seemed to have anticipated this and said, "Luckily I prepared a guidebook in advance; I sent it to your phone, have a look."
Hao Jian was a bit surprised, not expecting her to be so prepared. He took out his phone and spent about three minutes going through the guidebook she prepared. It was well-arranged, covering almost every detail and nice spots in the Ancient Town.
Since it wasn’t just him or a couple of friends going on a relaxing trip, but rather a class of dozens of students going out together, they couldn’t cater to every student’s hobby and interest. They had to compromise and choose some popular or unique spots and activities.
The Ancient Town is located in the outskirts of Yun City, requiring about two hours’ drive from the city center, which is not far. Many people in Yun City choose to visit the Ancient Town on weekends to unwind. However, it’s not the peak season currently, so there aren’t that many people.
The Ancient Town, fully named Yun City Ancient Town, isn’t large and doesn’t have many visitors, yet it is one of Yun City’s tourist attractions. Though generally not very many outsiders visit, mostly local tourists, that’s good for seeking tranquility, aligning with the class outing’s intent.
The trip is for two days, departing Saturday morning and returning Sunday afternoon. It wasn’t actually long, so there weren’t many activities planned. Nonetheless, after seeing Zhang Danlin’s arrangement, Hao Jian couldn’t help but admire her talent in organizing such a packed schedule.
At seven, everyone meets and boards the bus. It might not depart until around eight and arrive around ten. Then, settling in would take until around eleven, followed by lunch. The afternoon is free for students to explore the Ancient Town, then gather in the evening to prepare dinner and enjoy an outdoor meal, with chatting and entertainment.
On the second day, they’d take a group photo in the Ancient Town in the morning and visit special attractions together. At noon, there’d be an outdoor barbecue, where everyone would prepare, grill, and eat together, fostering a harmonious atmosphere.
In the afternoon, they’d prepare a few programs, returning around four or five. They’d reach Yun City by seven or eight, let everyone return home and prepare for the regular school day the following day.
