Chapter 255: Chapter 0255 Autumn Outing

"I’m your bodyguard, I get it."

Tang Ming yawned and then stopped talking.

The night passed without incident, and early the next morning, Tang Ming, carrying two large bags, accompanied Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli to the school to meet up.

The school had organized an autumn outing, and all students were only allowed to take the buses arranged by the school. Private cars were not permitted to follow. The trip was conducted by class, and students could only move freely after arriving at the destination.

Once on the bus, Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli sat in a pair of seats toward the front.

Chen Cang originally wanted to sit near Liu Mengting, but Tang Ming forcefully pulled him to the last row, making him sit with himself and Zhou Dafu.

"I’m telling you, Fly, you haven’t forgotten what you promised me, have you?"

Tang Ming shoved Chen Cang into the farthest corner, asking expectantly.

"No, no, I’ve brought you some tasty stuff."

Chen Cang hurriedly took out two high-quality lingzhi mushrooms from his backpack and handed them to Tang Ming.

"Good, good, you’re pretty obedient!"

Tang Ming’s eyes lit up as he took the lingzhi, encouragingly saying, "Boldly pursue your goddess. As long as you employ honorable tactics, I guarantee I won’t interfere. But if you’re not honest, don’t blame me for tossing you off the bus."

"No, no, I promise to be completely proper."

Chen Cang hurriedly assured him.

Watching Chen Cang’s anxious look, Zhou Dafu barely held back his laughter, thinking to himself: Karma! In the past that damn fly bullied other classmates, but now he’s the one being bullied by Brother Ming so miserably, it’s really karma.

Tang Ming couldn’t wait to open one of the lingzhi mushrooms and took a big bite, but then...

"Ptooey!"

Tang Ming spat out the lingzhi, cursing in disgust, "You damn Fly, are you playing me? This is not the lingzhi you gave me before."

"How could that be? This is definitely real lingzhi."

Chen Cang shouted nervously.

"I know it’s real lingzhi, but it tastes different from before."

Tang Ming’s face soured as he inwardly yelled, "This lingzhi isn’t poisoned!"

"The taste?"

Chen Cang’s mouth twitched, thinking sadly, "Big brother, the lingzhi I gave you before was poisoned, this one isn’t. Of course, they taste different, but this is truly the good stuff."

"It doesn’t taste good at all."

Tang Ming tossed the lingzhi to Chen Cang, saying coldly, "No matter what you do, I only want lingzhi that’s exactly like the one before! Didn’t I specifically tell you yesterday to ’add something extra’? Did you pretend not to hear?"

"How could I dare!"

Chen Cang shrank his neck in fright.

"Then find a way to get me lingzhi that’s exactly like the one before, or else... Hmph!"

Tang Ming said this while lifting his arm, flexing his fist.

"No problem, I will definitely get it."

Seeing Tang Ming’s ready-to-strike posture, Chen Cang immediately shouted, his mind a mess: "Just like the previous one, with something extra, does he want me to poison it again?"

The previous attempt at poisoning Tang Ming hadn’t killed him and instead nearly cost Chen Cang an arm, so Chen Cang had lost hope in poisoning. Therefore, the lingzhi he gave Tang Ming this time was genuinely high-quality stuff. Unexpectedly, Tang Ming had become addicted to poison and now insisted on consuming poisonous things. What a damn mess!

Because the items he brought had dissatisfied Tang Ming, Chen Cang was so nervous that he was very well-behaved all the way, wearing headphones and sleeping in the corner, fearing that provoking Tang Ming would earn him another beating.

Laojun Mountain is located on the edge of Songlan City, a vast and fully developed scenic attraction. It lies to the east of the sea and merges with the plains to the west. The beautiful scenery is not only widely distributed and covers a large area, but the mountain is also spectacular and the landscape is colorful. Ancient temples in the mountains, daylight on flat tops, and White Wave Beach are places that attract many tourists.

The main itinerary for this school-organized autumn trip was to let students stay at the junction of White Wave Beach and the mountain area. These places were well developed and generally safe, offering clear views for easy management and suitable for students to relax and enjoy themselves.

Upon arriving, the school staff parked the vehicles at a designated spot and let the students out for free time.

Although it was a class-based group activity, because the students all had their own cliques, they scattered in small groups to play as soon as the free time started. They would only regroup in the evening for camping. The school didn’t allow students to camp alone, as it was dangerous.

Liu Mengting, Li Xiaoli, Tang Ming, Zhou Dafu, Xia Wei’er, and the tenaciously clinging Chen Cang, along with Monkey and Xiao Jun, formed a small group and found a place with lush green grass to prepare for a barbecue.

"Everything is almost ready, hurry and take out the grill, light the fire to burn the charcoal, hey."

After some preparations, Li Xiaoli couldn’t wait and urged, "But lighting the fire is the most troublesome part, who wants to do it?"

"Haha, now it’s my turn to show off!"

Wearing sunglasses and dressed in a branded casual outfit, Chen Cang shouted proudly, "For barbecuing, the most important thing is the source of fire, which is the step of lighting it."

"Like we need you to tell us that, hey!"

Li Xiaoli rolled her eyes at Chen Cang, "Hurry up and get it out, we’ve already got the food ready, and I bet lighting the fire is going to take a good long while."

"Hurry up and start the fire, indeed it takes a long time for the fire to get going."

Liu Mengting also spoke up, urging him on.

"Are you kidding? Would the stuff prepared by me, Brother Cang, be that troublesome?" Chen Cang laughed arrogantly and shouted loudly, "Monkey, Xiao Jun, bring out the gear, let everyone witness the legendary solar-powered smokeless barbecue grill that lights up with just the push of a button."

"Solar-powered?"

Tang Ming looked up at the sky, his lips twitching.

"All right!"

Xiao Jun and Monkey immediately got busy, taking out stuff from the luggage to assemble, and in no time, the grill was put together.

"Hehe, the moment to witness a miracle is about to arrive."

Chen Cang hit a button and shouted proudly, "Just wait a moment!"

A few minutes later, Chen Cang stared at the quiet pile of charcoal, puzzled, "Strange, why hasn’t it lit? Is it broken?"

"It shouldn’t be, I just tested it yesterday, and the charcoal lit up within three minutes."

Monkey responded, looking bewildered.

"Ahem, Brother Fly, could you please take off your sunglasses and check out the sun?"

Tang Ming couldn’t stand it anymore and pointed upwards, giving a reminder.

"What’s wrong with the sun?"

Everyone looked up, perplexed.

"Damn, it’s overcast!"

It was only after Chen Cang removed his sunglasses that he realized there was no sun at all today, making the so-called solar power truly legendary.

"You dead fly, is this the miracle you mentioned, hey? Are you trying to starve me... and Sister Meng Meng to death?"

Li Xiaoli, hands on hips, yelled dissatisfied.

"A mishap, a mishap!"

Chen Cang looked embarrassed, turning his head to look at Xiao Jun and Monkey, "I didn’t see it was overcast with sunglasses on; are you guys blind too?"
