Stardust in the Moonlight: Little Wildcat, Don't Try to Run Away

I arrived at the high school gathering place early and saw the senior student hugging his wife. His wife was a very quiet and petite woman, and her name, Wen Ya, suited her very well.

When I saw them, she was nestled in the arms of her senior, and both of them were gently touching her belly and smiling. It was such a happy scene, and I didn't want to disturb them.

I waited until they saw me before I walked up to them. The senior introduced me to them, and Wen Ya, with her gentle personality, immediately became warm to me.

Soon, the students came. I counted 7 boys and 5 girls. I haven’t remembered their names yet…

However, I tried hard to match the people and names, and the seniors were still in charge of the organization work, with me assisting, and we set off soon.

After a busy morning, we finally set off! I sat by the window, feeling a little sleepy.

"Rongyue, thank you for your hard work this time!" The senior stood beside my seat and looked at me with a smile.

"No, I didn't help much!" I looked at the senior embarrassedly.

"You are helping me and Wen Ya by coming here!"

I felt a little embarrassed, but actually I was taken in by the senior.

I need a place to sort out what has happened recently and myself.

"Come, let me introduce you to everyone. This is my junior schoolmate from high school, Nangong Rongyue. Some of you may have seen her in the studio before. She's a great painter, right? Don't let her go for this sketching. She's from the oil painting department of the best art school! Hurry up and learn more!"

I stood up after hearing what the senior said and turned around to look at everyone. "Hello everyone, if you need anything, I will do my best to help you. I haven't done life sketching for a long time. Let's learn from each other!"

After introducing myself, I sat down and sent a text message to my grandfather. I was afraid that the signal would be bad in the suburbs, and my grandfather would be worried again if he couldn’t find me. My grandfather quickly replied to the text message and told me to be safe!

I took a nap in the car, and when I woke up, I had arrived at the destination. I saw a farmyard in front of me. It turned out that I didn’t need to set up a tent! Isn’t there a farmyard here?

Later, the senior told me that we went camping in the mountains for two days, and he booked a farmhouse for the rest of the time, so we didn’t have to worry about food and accommodation. It was really thoughtful.

I am standing in the courtyard of a farmhouse. Actually, this should be halfway up a mountain. This farmhouse is lonely and surrounded by hastily cut trees. It is quite quiet and secluded. Next to the farmhouse is a small path that should lead to the mountain. The sound of cicadas and frogs... the smell of trees and dew... I like it...

"Teacher Rongyue, what are you doing standing here?"

A very clean and handsome male classmate stood next to me and looked at me puzzledly.

Wow, it seems like high school students are slightly taller than me, they must be very nutritious!

"Oh, I'm listening to the sounds around me, they sound nice..."

I'm a little uncomfortable when someone suddenly calls me teacher.

"Can I call you Sister Yue? You really don't look like a teacher!" the male classmate laughed.

"Well, of course. This makes me feel much more comfortable and makes me look younger!" I also laughed.

"Xingyu! What are you doing? You're here flirting with the teacher instead of cleaning up your things!"

Another male classmate came over. He hugged Xingyu in a frivolous way, then turned to look at me and smiled, "Hello, beautiful teacher!"

"No! You can call me Sister Yue too!" This child looks like a naughty one!

"Okay! Sister Yue~ My name is Luo Wenxuan! You can call me Brother Wenxuan!" the male classmate smiled.

This call almost gave me goose bumps. Brother Wenxuan! I smiled and nodded.

These were the first two people I remembered. Later I found out that these two boys had the best relationship. They were among the best at drawing here, but they were also the most mischievous!

After everyone packed up, they started to paint the farmyard.

My senior and I prepared some things for camping in the mountains tomorrow, some charcoal, so that we can have a barbecue and keep warm tomorrow.

The aunt and uncle in the farmyard said there was a beautiful lake on the mountain that was suitable for sketching.

Everyone is looking forward to tomorrow's camping.

In fact, I am also looking forward to it. Maybe I am born to like this kind of natural scenery, and I feel very comfortable immersed in it.

The busy first day passed quickly.

Since the farmyard was limited in size, Wen Ya and I and five other girls lived in a large room with dorm beds. We became familiar with each other naturally.

Among them, there was a girl whose name I remembered...Xinyue. One reason was that her name also had the character "Yue" in it, and two, she was always secretly looking at Xingyu and Wenxuan, which was a bit like me when I was in high school!

The next day, Senior Sister Wen Ya had difficulty climbing the mountain and needed the company of a senior, and she walked slowly.

I walked in front with the students, and I tried my best to help the senior carry more things because he had to support Sister Wen Ya.

"Sister Yue, let me help you carry it!" Xingyu took the bag of carbon from my hand.

"No...I can hold it!" I looked at the drawing board on Xingyu's back and didn't let go.

"Give these to me!" Wenxuan took the painting box from my other hand.

In the end, I was left with only the drawing board on my back, and the rest were taken away by Xingyu and Wenxuan. These two boys are quite gentlemanly!

It felt like we had been climbing the mountain for a long time. My legs were weak and I was gasping for breath.

I looked back at the students. Everyone was very tired. I didn’t see the senior and Sister Wen Ya. I guess they fell behind because they were walking and stopping.

"Students, let's take a break here and wait for Teacher Sui and the others!"

The classmates all found a place to sit down. I looked down and couldn’t see the seniors. I couldn’t go look for them either. And there were these students!

But there is only one road and she shouldn't get lost. It's really hard for Sister Wen Ya, a pregnant woman, to climb a mountain.

"Sister Yue, Xingyu and I will go up and take a look first! You guys rest here for a while!" Wenxuan looked up the mountain.

"No! I'm worried if you two go, you should all go together!" I don't dare let the students get separated, this is in the mountains! I'm not kidding!

"It's okay, Sister Yue, we are both fine!" Xingyu and Wenxuan said as they walked upstairs.

"No! It's very dangerous in the mountains! Just listen to me!" I said and walked towards them trying to hold them back.

"It's okay! Wait for us to come back!" Xingyu and Wenxuan put their things down and ran upstairs.

"Come back!"

I chased after him, but couldn't catch up.

"Sister Yue!"

There were girls calling me from behind, so I stopped and looked back. The girls were looking at me with a little fear, probably because they were afraid that I would leave too. Some of them stood up.

I looked at Wenxuan and Xingyu again, and they had already run away.

Oh! What should I do? I can’t lose my students while helping the senior!

I was extremely anxious, but I couldn't abandon these students!

"Classmates, let's go up again now!" I looked at the remaining 10 people.

Everyone stood up, and the male students helped carry Wenxuan and Xingyu's painting materials.

We walked up again. I was worried about Wenxuan and Xingyu, but I couldn't show it.

Senior and Sister Wen Ya should just be walking slowly, I am not too worried, these two big boys don’t know the danger! I can only lead everyone to walk up first.

After walking a little further up, I heard someone calling me from the woods next to me. I looked up and saw Xingyu and Wenxuan running towards us.

I was relieved when I saw them, but then I got a little angry! These two kids are so disobedient! They ran into the woods! It's so easy to get lost in the mountains! If they really get lost, there's no way to find them!

"Sister Yue, we found the lake! It's not far inside!" Xingyu came over and looked at me.

"Don't go any further! There are only mountains above, and the lake is on this side of the woods." Wenxuan also came over.

I looked at the two of them, then turned back to look at everyone and said, "Let's wait for Teacher Sui and Teacher Wen, and then go to the lake together."

Everyone put down their things and sat down to rest.

"Sister Yue, that lake is so beautiful! The water is blue-green!" Wenxuan described excitedly.

"Yeah! Like a piece of jade!" Xingyu also said.

I ignored them and sat down looking at my phone.

After a moment's silence, they seemed to notice that I was unhappy.

"Sister Yue, are you angry?" Xingyu sat next to me and looked at me.

I didn't say anything and continued looking at my phone.

"Sister Yue, don't be angry, haven't we come back? And we found the lake! We don't have to go the wrong way!" Wenxuan also sat down and looked at me.

I still ignored them, and this time I was really a little angry.

The two of them also fell silent.

After waiting for a while, the senior and Sister Wen Ya came up. When I saw them, I saw my saviors. It’s really not easy to be a teacher!

"Are you all waiting for us? Why haven't we reached the lake yet? Is there anything there?" Sister Wen Ya panted and held her stomach.

I didn't say anything, and Wenxuan and Xingyu didn't say anything either.

I looked back at them. They both looked up at me without saying anything.

I reached out and hit Wenxuan on the head, then signaled him with my eyes.

Wenxuan rubbed his head and turned to look at his senior, "Teacher, the lake is over there!" Wenxuan pointed into the woods.

"Oh, is there really a lake?!" the senior looked at us.

"Yes! It's over there!" Xingyu also nodded.

"Okay, let's go over there!" After the senior said that, everyone picked up their things.

Everyone followed Xingyu and Wenxuan into the woods.

I took out a box of paint from the back and smeared the paint on the trees I passed by. I always felt unsafe when entering the woods, so I made a mark to avoid getting lost.

After a while, Xingyu came over to help me mark the tree.

"Sister Yue, are you still angry with us?" Xingyu was beside me.

I glared at him and continued to paint on the trees along the way.

"We will just be obedient from now on! Sister Yue! Don't be angry, or you won't be beautiful anymore!" Xingyu also smeared paint on the tree.

"Sister Yue, let me help you too!" Xinyue came over, looked at me and then glanced at Xingyu, then quickly avoided their gazes and applied paint on the tree.

I couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that this girl liked Xingyu.

I looked back at Xingyu, and he smiled at me. I put away my smile, and said, "Humph! Who smiled at him? This kid! I won't forgive him!"

There was indeed a large lake through the woods. The scenery was beautiful and secluded, so we settled down by the lake.

I walked to the lake, splashed some water, and washed the paint off my hands. The water was so cold!

Suddenly some water splashed on me.

"It's you who insisted on finding the lake first! You made Sister Yue worried!" Xingyu stood by the lake and splashed water on Wenxuan.

"Didn't you run away with me too? And you still have the nerve to talk about me! You deserve a beating!" Wenxuan kicked the water onto Xingyu.

The two of them were splashing water on each other.

"You still don't know your mistake! I'll throw you into the water!"

“…Come on! Let Sister Yue teach you a lesson!”

"That's enough, you two! You're still acting in front of me!" I scooped up the water and splashed it at them.

The two men stopped and looked at me, smiling.

I looked at them, all soaked and embarrassed, and grinning like a fool. I couldn't get angry at all! I couldn't help laughing, too. Youth is so good!

It was already afternoon, and after everyone got ready, they started painting, mostly the lake.

I also set up the easels behind the students, a little further away from the lake, because this way I could see how the students were painting and also see the scenery around the lake clearly.

After a while, my cell phone rang. I took it out and saw several calls. Damn it.

And Mo Chen's. My heart trembled slightly. What did Mo Chen want to see me for?

This was a text message from Mo Chen just now... I clicked on it...

"Did I tell you not to run around?"

I looked at the message and clicked on the reply button, but after thinking for a long time I still didn't know what to reply.

I called my grandma to let her know I was safe, and then put my phone away.

I decided to focus on painting and not think about Mo Chen, otherwise I would feel depressed.

But I came here just to sort out these things... tangled...

I looked at the lake in the distance. Behind the lake was a deep forest. The reflections of the trees filled the lake. I frowned and tried to look deeper into the forest. I always felt like there was something in the darkness... It made me feel a little uncomfortable...

I drew for a while, and then Xingyu and Wenxuan came over and sat next to me.

"Sister Yue, do you think the photo I took of you is pretty?"
