Chapter 23 Please, Miss
"By the way, Xia, it looks like the off-campus teaching day is coming soon. The teacher may notify us today."

After hearing the somewhat chilling joke, Tomoyo suddenly brought up another topic.

"Off-campus teaching day?"

Xia Yu frowned in confusion. What was this? Could something outside of school be connected to teaching?
"Ok?"

Seeing Xia Yu's confused expression, Zhi Shi was also a little puzzled: "Student Xia, don't you know about the Field Day? Field Day means leaving the campus to study somewhere else, maybe go to an aquarium or a zoo. Doesn't Student Xia's country have Field Day?"

"..."

Does the Children’s Palace count?

Unfortunately, he had only seen it in books since he was a child. After all, when he was in school, he had never experienced the so-called off-campus teaching day.

For him, attending school is the norm.

Leaving school to study at an aquarium or zoo? You better go to bed first, because dreams can hold all kinds of possibilities.

He has only one source of animal knowledge, and that is "Animal World" broadcast on CCTV.com.

Seeing Xia Yu suddenly fall silent, Zhishi also fell silent. She had just said it casually, but looking at Xia Yu's expression, it seemed that she guessed right.

What to do? Xia suddenly looked a little pitiful, having never experienced an off-campus teaching day.

"It's okay, Xia, if you have any questions, you can ask me and I will answer them for you!"

Seeing that Xia Yu was still silent, Zhishi simply grabbed Xia Yu's hand and spoke in a firm and serious tone.

Facing Zhishi's serious and gentle gaze, Xia Yu's old face blushed for a rare time. When a girl who was a dozen years younger than him (he thought) held his hand and comforted him, his heart actually beat faster.

Damn, it must be an illusion!

Somehow, Xia Yu suddenly understood Xia Ya a little.

……

Time passes slowly.

Soon, it was time to go home from school.

Before school was over, the head teacher brought a good news, that is, their class would go to the aquarium during class tomorrow, because tomorrow was an off-campus teaching day and it was their class's turn to go to the aquarium.

When Xia Yu heard the news, although he had already known it from Zhishi, he was still shocked.

He had never been to an aquarium before he traveled through time, but he didn't expect to be able to experience it after traveling through time, and more importantly, with his classmates?!

This campus life is so colorful, is this the world of children's animation?

More, he likes it.

Although it was not the first time for other students to participate in the field teaching day, it was always a pleasure to be able to go out and play during class time, or to go to the aquarium.

With this happy mood, a new day arrives.

The next day.

In the classroom, everyone was very excited because they learned that today was a field trip day and the destination was the oceanarium.

Besides, after today, there will be another weekend holiday, which is equivalent to three days off. It is impossible not to be excited.

"Xia, we are going to the aquarium today. We can see penguins!"

While waiting for the school bus, Xiaoying came up to Xia Yu and said something extremely excitedly. Seeing Xiaoying like this, Xia Yu smiled.

"Sakura, do you like penguins?"

"Of course, penguins are chubby and cute. Who doesn't like penguins?"

Hearing this, Xia Yu smiled evilly: "Since Xiaoying likes penguins so much, you can go to the computer and search what a penguin with its mouth open looks like."

"A penguin with its mouth open?" Sakura frowned in confusion. "Is a penguin with its mouth open interesting?"

As she spoke, Sakura imagined the chubby penguin's silly look with its mouth open, and couldn't help laughing.

Seeing that Xiaoying didn't understand at all, Xia Yu laughed even more evilly: "Hehe, if it's interesting, go and see for yourself...hiss, who knocked me?"

Before Xia Yu could finish his words, he was suddenly hit on the head. Turning around, he saw Zhishi had just retracted his knife.

After interrupting Xia Yu's words, Zhi Shi smiled and said to Xiao Ying: "Xiao Ying, you must not believe what Xia Yu just said. Let me tell you quietly, although penguins look cute, they look very scary when they open their mouths. It's the kind that will give you nightmares."

"Eh? Really?"

Tomoyo's words brought Sakura back to her senses from her fantasy, but she was still a little curious. Penguins are so cute, even if they look scary when they open their mouths, how scary would they be?

Seeing that Sakura didn't seem to have given up the idea, Tomoyo reaffirmed: "Of course it's true, so don't ever look at it. If you search for it out of curiosity, you will definitely have nightmares at night."

Hearing Tomoyo's serious tone, Sakura shrank her neck, then couldn't help puffing out her cheeks and looked at Xia Yu angrily.

"Xia, you are so mean. You actually want to scare me."

"I'm not trying to scare you."

Xia Yu raised his hands innocently, revealing a wronged expression: "I just told you that the penguin's mouth opening is funny..."

Before he finished speaking, Xia Yu suddenly felt a sharp gaze coming from the side. If he remembered correctly, the person next to him should be Zhishi...

Dangerous!
Xia Yu immediately changed the subject and said from the heart: "Okay, okay, Xiaoying, I admit that I wanted to scare you, I'm very sorry."

Sakura snorted and said, "Since you apologized so sincerely, I will forgive you. This won't happen again."

"Yes, thank you for your magnanimity, Sakura-sama."

Time passed quickly in the noise and bustle. During this time, the students boarded the school bus and headed for the aquarium.

There were no accidents on the way. After all, this was not the world of some elementary school death god, so naturally there wouldn't be any such cases.

Not long after, we arrived at the aquarium for the field trip.

The head teacher got off the bus first to organize the students and prepare to visit the aquarium as planned.

"Students, don't go too far. If you have any questions, please contact the aquarium staff and teachers in time. Don't act on your own. Do you understand?"

"understood!"

After repeated instructions from the head teacher, the students answered in unison. Seeing this, the head teacher said a few more words before letting the students disperse.

The moment she heard the dismissal, Sakura, who had been expecting a lot of things, ran out immediately. Her speed even created a small gust of wind, which made the hair of the female tourists around her flutter.

"Sakura really likes the aquarium."

Looking at Sakura who was like a gust of wind, Tomoyo couldn't help but smile. At the same time, he raised his camera and aimed the lens at Sakura, whose back was only left.

As a director and photographer, the camera is a prop that she can't let go of. If it wouldn't affect the class, she would like to record Sakura in class every day.

"By the way, Tomoyo, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to see the road clearly like this? You are concentrating all your attention on the camera. What if you bump into other tourists?" Xia Yu, who was a step behind, glanced at Tomoyo, whose attention was all on Sakura, and couldn't help but remind her.

But Zhi Shi just smiled sweetly at him: "Isn't it that I still have Xia to protect me? I'll trouble Xia to be my guide. In return, I can be Xia's tour guide."

"uh-huh?"

Xia Yu smiled softly upon hearing this, and bent down slightly to extend his hand to Zhishi: "As you wish, Miss Zhishi, since you trust me, how can I refuse? Please, Miss."

"Haha~ Xia Xueyan's words are always so interesting. Let's go."

Faced with the hand extended by Xia Yu, Zhishi did not refuse, but also stretched out her hand to hold it. Then she used her other hand to hold the camera in front of her eyes.

Under Xia Yu's guidance, the two of them followed Xiaoying's back into the aquarium.
