One of the teachers suggested, "I'll have the students eat lunch first, and then we'll inform them that the trip is canceled, and we're heading back."

He stretched his body and said, "I feel so refreshed now."
He headed toward his companions.
A different scene unfolded before him, and a voice called out, "Young master, did you sleep well?"
