Watching the previously chirpy boys and girls finally showing a hint of fear, Yun Ran felt satisfied and sat back down.
At this moment, the team leader teacher finished the necessary procedures and boarded the bus, only to find a hole the size of a fist in one of the reserved seats, which left him completely dumbfounded.
He looked back and forth several times and even rubbed his eyes, but the hole was still there.
"What happened here?"
This bus was school property, it was fine when they left, and now suddenly there's such a big hole, how was he to explain this!
The culprit Yun Ran, who was so arrogant and cocky before, was now extremely embarrassed.
He had to brazen it out and say, "Well, that, it was an accident I caused; the quality of this seat back is really poor. I suggest the school considers changing to buses with better interiors in the future."
Everyone: ...
It was the first time they'd seen someone so shamelessly twist the truth, clearly having threatened them, but now pushing the blame onto the bus's quality.
The team leader teacher stayed silent for a while, eventually convincing himself to believe this excuse.
"We will take Yun Ran's suggestion into consideration."
To cooperate with her in such a serious manner, this teacher was quite a talent. No wonder he was chosen to lead the team; he really knows how to handle social niceties.
"Alright, let's talk business. Everyone should already know the content of this field study. We'll join students from other friendly schools at the next stop to experience running a street stall. The bus ride will take about two hours..."
Yun Ran used the copper coin she had taken out from the doll as a simple fortune-telling tool, casually tossed it, and the divination turned out to be unfavorable!
She immediately started calculating and in no time, Yun Ran revealed a speechless expression – today, she would come up empty-handed!
The Little Fatty next to her pretended to be calm, but actually, his gaze kept stealing glances at her.
Watching Yun Ran acting like a God Stick, he felt even more anxious, as if all the fat on his body was quivering in fear.
Two hours usually flew by quickly, but now, with such an unpredictable variable like Yun Ran, it felt like an eternity.
After Little Fatty's incessant muttering, they finally arrived at their destination, a small tourist town.
There was a famous trade pedestrian street here, bustling with many snack vendors and artisan craftsmen.
The team leader teacher quickly got in touch with the other groups and directly led their group of twelve over.
"The money you earn today will all be donated as public welfare funds, which will be recorded under your name according to the corresponding academic credits. So everyone, do your best!"
They arrived quite early and the trade pedestrian street wasn't crowded yet.
Yun Ran could see several banners from afar, which said [Love·On the Road Public Welfare Activity].
She also saw students from other friendly schools, each school's students wearing vests of different colors.
These young masters and misses coming to experience life had not only brought plenty of goods but also had staff who had delivered the required items to the site early.
Only Yun Ran stood out, carrying a lone suitcase, and seemed out of place.
If it weren't for the reporters taking photos nearby, these masters and misses would have probably wished for the staff secretly following them to take care of everything.
[Host, isn't this what everyone calls a show?]
"Why do you care so much? As long as the money they earn is donated, we should look at the deeds not the intentions, for no one has pure intentions."
Ginsengfruit seemed to have learned something.
Only then did the team leader teacher notice that Yun Ran had not yet started preparing and couldn't help asking, "Yun Ran, it's almost time, haven't the people from your family arrived yet?"
Yun Ran looked at the teacher who had just stabbed her with a metaphorical knife with a speechless expression, strongly suspecting that the teacher was retaliating for her damaging the seat.
"They are either selling second-hand goods or preparing to sell snacks, nothing new. I'll just wander around first."
Team leader teacher: ...
Yun Ran, with her small crossbody bag, strolled around the area - there was really nothing she liked doing; it seemed she could only stick to her usual trade!
When Ginsengfruit knew Yun Ran was going to set up a stall for fortune-telling and selling peace charms, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up. Fortune-telling, drawing talismans - for Yun Ran, that was as easy as eating or drinking, a true no-investment business!
By the afternoon, the street grew crowded.
While everyone else's stalls were flourishing, Yun Ran's newly set up fortune-telling stall was desolate.
Little Fatty was working hard selling starch sausages, his business booming, which starkly contrasted with Yun Ran's stall.
[Host, why don't you call out to attract customers, or else I'm afraid you'll fall asleep just sitting there.]
"I won't make a penny today; I don't want to waste time."
Saying that, Yun Ran stood up and went straight to Little Fatty's stall, ordering generously, "Give me ten!"
Little Fatty silently handed over the grilled sausages, not daring to mention payment, interpreting Yun Ran's behavior as that of a Bully.
"Hmm, tastes good, worthy of being a Zhu Family product."
After scanning the QR code for payment, Yun Ran meandered off to look at other stalls. When she turned away, Little Fatty couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
When it was time to pack up, the team leader teacher came to count the money, and Yun Ran's column showed a big zero, making her the absolute bottom performer.
He was just about to say something but was cut off by Yun Ran, "Teacher, don't open the door carelessly tonight, or you'll bring misfortune upon yourself."
The team leader teacher was baffled – he just wanted to comment on her zero points, but ended up being threatened?
Was her temper always so volatile?
However, it wasn't until night that he understood what Yun Ran meant and was thankful he had been cautious when he heard a knock on the door, preserving his reputation.
The next morning, as Yun Ran yawned, the team leader teacher brought her a bowl of beef noodles filled with meat.
"Thank you for the heads up last night, Yun Ran. This is for you."
Yun Ran lifted an eyelid to glance at him. She had let slip because his physiognomy looked decent.
Most importantly, it was only their first day out – it was supposed to be a budget trip, and any more trouble would affect her field study mood.
"You listened to the advice; no need to thank me."
Seeing Yun Ran's indifference, the team leader teacher said no more and left with an excuse.
No one knew that beneath his feet, there was a sense of unease.
The previous night, someone in the room next to his had fallen into the trap known as a 'trap', and it was him that the gang initially had their eyes on!
