My Mister Ostrich

Chapter 50

Gu Mingxi put his life on the line and studied for the final exams. In the end, he came out 9th in the whole year. That was enough to get him into the advanced science class.

Pang Qian did as usual and was ranked 355th in the end, which meant that she couldn’t be deskmates with Gu Mingxi next year.

Over summer break, because Class 2 would be split up, Teacher Dai called all the students and organized a two day one night trip. They went to a scenic area on the outskirts of E City. Naturally, most of the class would participate. And of course, Pang Qian convinced Gu Mingxi to go.

When the big bus got to their destination, it was already noon. There were three teachers, and they organized lunch for more than 40 students. After lunch, they organized where everyone would be staying, and then everyone went to participate in river rafting.

It was summer so the temperature was hot. The towering trees and cool stream around them kept the temperature down significantly. Pang Qian and Gu Mingxi both had on orange life vests. It was thrilling as the boat bumped around, riding along the mountain stream. When there were particularly abrupt jolts, Pang Qian stuck right next to Gu Mingxi and even grabbed tightly to his waist.

She continuously screamed, causing classmates Zhou Nanzhong and Wang Song to laugh out loud. Wang Song said to Gu Mingxi, “Little Crab knows that she’ll be separated from you soon, so she’s taking advantage of the rafting to get close to you!”

Gu Mingxi blushed, and Pang Qian got extremely angry. She immediately dipped her hand into the water and splashed at Wang Song.

After they came back from rafting, everyone was tired and thirsty. At a small shop, they bought drinks. And someone bought a small water gun, filled it up, and shot it towards the crowd. In that short moment, everyone was outraged and rushed back to the store, emptying out the entire shelf of water guns. Pang Qian held her gun, running back and forth. Whenever she saw someone, she would shoot at them, laughing joyously. Gu Mingxi kept running to keep up with her, but there was no way for him to play with the water guns. He saw how happy he was, a smile always plastered to her face. Then, for some reason, Pang Qian turned around and pointed her gun at him.

“Hey! Everyone, get Gu Mingxi!”

At her shout, 17 or 18 guns pointed at Gu Mingxi. He clearly had no way to dodge them all, so he just ran. Soon, he was soaked with water, looking like a drenched chicken.

After playing awhile, the group of students all dispersed.

There was only Pang Qian, still boldly standing beside Gu Mingxi. She held her stomach as she laughed out loud, while Gu Mingxi stood quietly staring at her.

Then Pang Qian walked over to him and poked him in the waist. “Hey, are you angry?”

Gu Mingxi turned his head away. His hair was soaked with water, so beads of water dripped off. His clothes were stuck to his body, and you could see him heaving slightly. He was clearly a bit out of breath.

Pang Qian picked up one of his dripping wet sleeves and squeezed it. Water flowed down and she said, “Sorry. Next time, I won’t joke around with you. Go to your room and change your clothes.”

They were all staying in a small village-y hostel. Four people stayed in each room. Because of Gu Mingxi’s condition, they specially arranged a single bed for him. He and Wang Song and Zhou Nanzhong stayed in one room together.

He went back to his room on his own to change his clothes. He didn’t feel very good inside. Gu Mingxi never thought that Pang Qian would bully him like that in front of so many people. And he hadn’t expected the entire class to go along with her.

They were obviously bullying him for not having arms. Gu Mingxi bend over and pulled out a dry shirt from his bag with his teeth. He hunched over and used his feet to pull off his wet pants. His underpants were also soaked through, so he felt even worse.

He trudged to the washroom with wet steps. After he wiped himself down, he changed into dry clothes. He sat on the edge of his bed for awhile, then bit onto his keys and headed back out.

The small guest house had a restaurant on the first floor. Gu Mingxi thought it was a bit odd. He remembered that when he went upstairs, all the window curtains had been open. It was bright and spacious inside, and the workers were cleaning there. But now, the stairs down were all dark. When he got to the ground floor, he saw that the curtains in the restaurant were all pulled closed. The space was all dark and gloomy. And it was also dead silent.

Gu Mingxi looked around suspiciously. Just then, a door in the corner was pushed open, and a large group of people walked out. Gu Mingxi was startled, but when he took a second look, he saw that it was his classmates and teachers. Teacher Dai, Zhou Nanzhong, Wang Song, Xiao Yujing, Wu Min, Li Xiaoyan, Jiang Zhiya… They were clapping and singing as they walked toward him.

“Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to Gu Mingxi! Happy birthday to you!”

The one standing at the front was naturally Pang Qian. She was carrying a large birthday cake, with two number candles– “17.” With a bright smile on her face, she walked up to Gu Mingxi. She looked up at his face. “Although it’s not Qixi yet, but it’s your 17th birthday by the Western calendar. Gu Mingxi, happy birthday!”

Gu Mingxi looked at her as she stuck her tongue out at him. “Aiya, you can’t still be angry at me, right?!”

Gu Mingxi kept his lips tightly closed. Then after a moment, he laughed, revealing his two tiger teeth. He said quietly, “Thank you, Pang Pang.”
