Following Xu Mo's gaze, a group of students discovered that Ji Feng and Zhang Lei had somehow hidden themselves aside at some point. This immediately made them think that these two guys were intentionally trying to be lazy and didn't want to do the work.
At this moment, a student said jokingly, "Ji Feng, our great hero wouldn't be reluctant to do even this little bit of work, would he? If so, this title of hero might as well be given to me!"
Ji Feng frowned. After a moment, he suddenly laughed and said, "Going to work is certainly no problem, but I can't do it alone. I'm afraid we'll need several other people."
At this time, Xu Mo immediately smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about this. Classmates, who else is willing to go with us to bring back the picnic utensils? We need about ten people or so."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of boys came up and said, "We'll all go. There is strength in numbers!"
Ji Feng sneered incessantly. Most of these people were currying favor with Xu Mo. Obviously, Xu Mo and others wanted to take this opportunity to embarrass him. However, if this was all he had in his arsenal, Ji Feng really wouldn't take it to heart.
Because when it comes to doing work, among these students, probably except for those from rural areas, other students really can't compare with Ji Feng. Because over the years, he has been helping his mother Xiao Sumei with work in his spare time.
More importantly, what's there to be afraid of an enemy who can only think of such means?
But Ji Feng also knew that Xu Mo's purpose in organizing this outing was definitely not just to make him do more work. He should have other means to deal with him.
Ji Feng secretly heightened his vigilance in his heart.
Seeing this situation, Xu Mo couldn't help but secretly feel smug. He said, "Well then, let's go and move the things first. The other classmates can rest here for a while. When we come back, we'll start the picnic and enjoy playing at the artificial lake in the afternoon."
"I'll go too!" Zhang Lei suddenly said, while glaring at Xu Mo with a warning look in his eyes, obviously very dissatisfied with his behavior of squeezing Ji Feng.
Xu Mo showed a kind smile, indicating his innocence.
Ji Feng saw all this, but only remained vigilant in his heart and didn't show any abnormality on his face.
It was about a ten-minute walk from the south side of Mangshi Mountain to the row of shops. The group chatted and laughed and quickly reached the door of a shop called 'Picnic Base Camp'. Xu Mo went in to talk to the boss. Zhang Lei and Ji Feng were at the outermost edge of the crowd.
"Crazy, Xu Mo's behavior seems a bit off. Let's be careful!" Zhang Lei said in a low voice.
Ji Feng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. With so many people present, even if he wants to play some tricks, he probably has to be a bit cautious."
"That's true!" Zhang Lei nodded slightly.
Soon, Xu Mo came out and said, "Everyone, let's start moving things."
Saying that, he directed a group of students to start picking up various picnic utensils, including some pots, pans, bowls and chopsticks as well as some campfire utensils. Most of the others were food.
Because there were so many people, Xu Mo had bought a whole bag of rice. Ji Feng gave Zhang Lei a look, and the two of them stepped forward and directly lifted the rice.
"Monitor Xu, is it okay if we carry the rice?" Ji Feng asked.
Xu Mo was stunned. Among these utensils, only this bag of rice was the heaviest, weighing a full forty or fifty catties. It was much heavier than the barreled purified water next to it. Xu Mo had originally intended to use words to push Ji Feng to carry this heaviest item, but he didn't expect that Ji Feng would actually ask to do it on his own. This couldn't help but make Xu Mo a bit strange.
"Of course it's no problem!" Xu Mo smiled slightly, but in his heart he was secretly pleased. Was Ji Feng doing this to show weakness? Wanting to obtain his forgiveness?
Humph!
Xu Mo sneered in his heart. Dare to ignore his warning and get so close to Tong Lei. Now they have even started dating blatantly. Moreover, Ji Feng even brought Zhang Lei to warn him. If he could obtain his forgiveness just by showing weakness casually, then he would be underestimating himself too much.
"Ji Feng, I will definitely make you regret it!" Xu Mo secretly vowed in his heart.
When they returned to Mangshi Mountain, Xu Mo was greatly shocked. Not only him, but all the other students who were carrying things were equally astonished.
In front of them, Tong Lei and Xiao Yuxuan were actually directing the remaining students to clear out an open space. They had set up a bonfire in the open space and some basic facilities such as simple toilets. This greatly surprised the students.
For example, with the simple toilet, although these students were on an outing and thought that everything should be available in the picnic store, they forgot that there were many things that the store didn't have, such as toilets!
Although it seemed inconspicuous and was usually not needed. However, once it was urgently needed, it could make people extremely anxious and they couldn't do without it!
"Teacher Xiao, Tong Lei, you..." Xu Mo looked at the two women in surprise. His mouth opened, but he didn't know what to say. Only the embarrassment in his eyes couldn't be concealed.
He had originally wanted to show his wisdom and organizational ability in front of the two women, but the actions of the two women undoubtedly taught him a lesson.
However, Xu Mo's skin was naturally not something that could be measured by ordinary people. He quickly changed from embarrassment to amazement: "Teacher Xiao, Tong Lei, you are really amazing. You can think of such detailed things in places that none of us thought of."
Xiao Yuxuan smiled slightly and didn't say anything. And Tong Lei didn't even smile. It was as if she hadn't heard Xu Mo's words at all and continued to direct those students in tidying up the camp.
Xu Mo was immediately extremely embarrassed. To avoid making a fool of himself again, he could only turn around and go and busy himself with the other students.
However, when it was about to start the picnic, a problem arose.
The stoves and other utensils rented by Xu Mo were ten sets in total. That is to say, if allocated according to the current number of people, four people share one set just right. So, how should it be allocated?
However, Xu Mo was like an old hand. He skillfully allocated the cooking utensils but solely didn't allocate any to Xiao Yuxuan and Tong Lei! Moreover, in order to prevent Ji Feng and Tong Lei from being together, Xu Mo deliberately arranged two partners for Ji Feng and Zhang Lei. In this way, Ji Feng's group was exactly four people, while Tong Lei and Xiao Yuxuan were left out.
"Teacher Xiao, Tong Lei, since everyone else has been grouped, why don't the three of us form a group!" At the end of the allocation, Xu Mo came to Xiao Yuxuan and Tong Lei with a gentle smile on his face and said with a smile.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this scene not far away, Zhang Lei and Ji Feng's expressions immediately turned ugly. Especially Zhang Lei. He directly threw the cooking utensils on the ground and was about to get angry. If Ji Feng hadn't pulled him in time, he would definitely have gone and given Xu Mo a good beating!
