Chapter 594: Unknown Food
After finally catching up with the class, we found our classmates resting in a wide area halfway up the mountain. A few classmates who had sub-optimal stamina were already gasping for breath.
Especially Gong CaiCai, Little Smart, Eunuch Cao, and Zhuang Ni.
Although Zhuang Ni’s sickness are her active skills, it doesn’t mean she has good stamina. We all knew in our first year that she was the fifth from the bottom for PE grades amongst the girls (assuming she even attended).
Gong CaiCai was panting the heaviest. Although she came to participate in order to fix her timid and fearful character, but she was still lacking training. If you add the fright she got earlier from me and Xiao Qin, she was now sitting on a stone with a pale face and even the tips of the fingers were trembling.
She also sweated a lot, so there were two narrow crescent-shaped sweat stains around her chest.
It outlined the lower half of her breasts and attracted the gaze of many boys, but also Xiao Qin too.
“What a perverted sweat stain.” Xiao Qin commented, “I think she made it on purpose to seduce Ye Lin classmate.”
Stop being jealous. I don’t think you can create such beautiful sweat stains even if you ran on a treadmill for an entire day.
Compared to Xiao Qin, the class leader and Xiong YaoYue also had large breasts, but neither of them had sweat stains like Gong CaiCai.
One, was because the two of them still had a lot of energy, walking halfway up the mountain wasn’t much of a workout for them.
Two, was because they had outdoors experience and knew what bras to wear. Gong CaiCai might be the study committee member, she still had a lot to learn.
When Xiao Qin, Xiong YaoYue, and I walked to the resting place of the group. The class leader was the only one who didn’t sit down. She walked back and forth to check on the physical condition of the frail students and make sure they wouldn’t get dehydrated.
“Feed me mouth to mouth or I’m going to die of thirst.”
Zhuang Ni leaned against a tree and sat on the grass. She tilted her head to look at the water bottle in the class leader’s hand.
“It’s not a problem if you can still talk.” The class leader unscrewed the cap of the water bottle, then placed it by Zhuang Ni’s hand.
“Class leader, class leader, I’m dying too.” Eunuch Cao came up to join the fun, “Please feed me mouth to mouth…”
He ended up under Niu ShiLi’s feet before he finished his sentence.
The class leader was finally relieved everyone was together after she saw Xiao Qin, Xiong YaoYue, and me follow up, but then she looked depressed for some reason.
She didn’t ask us why we were held up, she just leaned against a tree in the shade and began eating a red bean bun.
She already digested the date cake she ate earlier, so I guess she needs more calories now.
It was rare to see the class leader eat snacks normally, since she had set times for her three meals.
I think that’s a disadvantage if you want to be a police officer. As far as I know, Constable Ma from the narcotics division always works around the clock and only eat when they get a chance. They don’t even know if they are eating breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
“Ah, it’s time for lunch.” The class leader, dressed in her police uniform, pulled out her lunch box and prepared to eat lunch in her police car.
“Not good, the fugitive we were watching escaped!” Her partner, who was sitting in the passenger’s seat, yelled out loud.
“Huh, does he not eat lunch on time? He will get stomach problems…”
Of course, that’s just my imagination. In order to maintain justice, the class leader knows what to sacrifice. She would never let a criminal escape just to eat lunch.
“Huh, what’s this red thing, can you eat it?” Loud Mouth pointed to a bunch red strawberry-like berries on some shrubs, but they were much smaller than strawberries.
It looks like Loud Mouth’s first reaction when she sees something strange is if it could be eaten.
Xiong YaoYue was even more crazy than Loud Mouth. When Loud Mouth was considering if it had poison or not, Xiong YaoYue had already picked some off the branches and began chewing it.
“It feels like wild strawberries, it’s a bit sour.” Xiong YaoYue said.
The class leader was too late to stop Xiong YaoYue and she almost choked on her last bite of her bread.
“Winnie, if you’re going to eat wild strawberries, at least wash it first.”
You can already hear the sound of running water from not far away, so there was a brook nearby.
“It’s no big deal.” Xiong YaoYue shared some of the wild strawberries with Loud Mouth, “A couple of germs won’t do any harm.”
Loud Mouth was a bit more careful. She used her bottled water to wash the wild strawberries before tasting it.
“It’s really sour. No wonder no one lives in the wild anymore, the strawberries from grocery stores taste much better.”
I was curious, so I took two of the washed berries from Loud Mouth and ate it. It really was sour.
Seeing both me and Loud Mouth knit our eyebrows, Xiao Qin asked: “Is it really that sour?”
“It is pretty sour.” Xiong YaoYue grumbled while continuously eating her unwashed wild strawberries.
“(*^__^*)Hehe… I like sour stuff, give me a couple.”
Thus the few of us gathered around the bush and began picking wild strawberries to eat. Since it had just rained in the morning, some of the berries still had water drops on them, so we gradually thought it was reasonable for Xiong YaoYue to eat them without washing it.
“Hey, the thorny ones over here are a bit sweeter.”
Xiong YaoYue, who was rapidly picking the berries, quickly made a new discovery.
“Where, where?” Loud Mouth, who was sitting down for a rest, stood up.
Xiao Qin silently picked some thorny wild strawberries and put them in my hand, “Ye Lin classmate likes sweet things, so eat these.”
“What’s the purple ones down here?” Loud Mouth pointed out.
“Wouldn’t you know if you taste it?” Xiong YaoYue suggested.
“I’m not tasting it, what if it’s poisonous. You could taste it if you want to taste it.”
“Fine.” Xiong YaoYue was completely fearless as she reached out for that suspicious purple berry.
The class leader walked over in a fit of anger.
“Are you guys done playing around?”
“What happens if you get poisoned from eating unknown foods?”
Xiong YaoYue, who was about to stuff the purple berry into her mouth, was startled by the class leader’s anger and dropped the berry.
“And you, Ye Lin. As the safety committee member, why are you not doing anything when your classmates are putting unknown objects in their mouths? And you even ate it with them.”
I scratched my head and felt what the class leader said was reasonable.
“Why does the class leader seem more angry than usual today?”
Xiong YaoYue whispered to me, “It looks like she’s not happy with either of us… when did we offend her?”
It really did seem true after Xiong YaoYue told me. Was she troubled ever since she saw Xiong YaoYue slap me this morning, so now she’s lashing out at us when we do something stupid?
Although we did do something dumb, she can use a more amiable tone…
Seeing the class leader scold us, Gong CaiCai looked at the class leader as if she was the victim.
It would be true from Gong CaiCai’s point of view.
She thinks I betrayed the class leader to be with Xiao Qin and Xiong YaoYue is helping us keep it a secret, so it’s like the three of us tricking the class leader.
But she didn’t have the bravery to tell the class leader, thus her inner turmoil.
“We should be continue soon.” Niu ShiLi said, “Even Gong CaiCai has recovered a bit, so we should continue on.”
Gong CaiCai looked as if she was sentenced the death penalty.
“I, I really can’t walk anymore… I’m sorry for holding everyone up, just leave me here.”
Although that’s what she said, her teary eyes showed she didn’t really want to be abandoned here.
The class leader stuck out a hand, “I’ll support you. You can definitely reach the top.”
Gong CaiCai clenched her teeth and forced her sore legs to support her body and reached out to take the class leader’s hand.
Xiong YaoYue unexpectedly took Gong CaiCai’s hand and pulled her into her embrace. Gong CaiCai’s startled face quickly collided with Xiong YaoYue’s elastic chest.
“I’ll carry Gong CaiCai the rest of the way.”
Xiong YaoYue held Gong CaiCai with one hand and pointed to herself with the thumb of her other hand.
“It would be too difficult even for you.” Starting from Loud Mouth, the students began to comment.
“I think we should leave it to a man.”
“I’ll do it, I’ll do it.”
“Stop joking around, you’re already coughing up blood from walking halfway up the mountain. If you add on her weight, you guys will probably roll down the mountain.”
“Class leader, why don’t you trust me?” Xiong YaoYue flex her left arm to show her biceps, “If I said I can carry her up, then I can definitely do it.”
“The frozen food you told me to carry earlier isn’t lighter than Cai Cai.”
“Carrying a person and goods aren’t the same…” the class leader tried to persuade Xiong YaoYue to give up.
“Then what should we do. Are you going to leave Cai Cai here for the tigers?”
“I, I don’t want to be tiger food…” There were tears in Gong CaiCai’s eyes, “I wouldn’t have come if I knew there were tigers…”
The only tiger in the whole damn city is at the zoo! You would on the news if you found a tiger here.
Of course, it might be a tragic news report like “innocent girl mauled by tiger”.
“Stop fighting.” Loud Mouth came to resolve the situation, “It seems like Cai Cai really can’t walk anymore, if there’s no other alternatives, just let Xiong YaoYue…”
“Call me Winnie.” Xiong YaoYue corrected.
“Okay.” Loud Mouth blushed, “If there’s no other alternatives, just let Xiong YaoYue…”
“It’s Winnie.”
“Oh, if there’s no other alternatives, just let Winnie the Pooh…”
