Preparing for the Event

Preparing for the Event

On Monday morning, sunlight streamed through the clean windows, scattering across the desks in the classroom. Jiang Wan’yuan, with her backpack slung over her shoulder, hummed a cheerful interstellar tune and skipped into the classroom. She spotted Yi Shang sitting quietly in the corner, reading a book, and her eyes lit up like stars as she headed straight for her.

“Yi Shang!” Jiang Wan’yuan called out happily, plopping down into the empty seat next to Yi Shang. “How about we have a class gathering this weekend? Everyone had so much fun at the last one, this one is sure to be great too!”

Yi Shang slowly lowered her book, looked up at Jiang Wan’yuan, and a hint of a smile flickered in her eyes. “Your idea isn’t bad, but have you decided on a time and place yet?”

Jiang Wan’yuan confidently patted her chest. “Not yet, but that’s why I’m here to discuss it with you. I was thinking we could have it on the weekend, and for the location, we could go to the interstellar camping base in the suburbs. We can get close to nature and experience interstellar technology at the same time, how awesome is that!”

Yi Shang pondered for a moment, then nodded. “The location is decent, but we need to inform everyone in advance so they have time to prepare.”

“Definitely!” Jiang Wan’yuan said, jumping up from her seat and standing on the podium. She cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted, “Attention students! Attention! We’re having a class gathering this weekend at the interstellar camping base in the suburbs. Anyone who wants to go, come on down!”

The students, who were originally busy with their own things, all looked up at Jiang Wan’yuan’s call, their eyes filled with surprise and anticipation.

“Wow, another gathering, that’s awesome!” Sun Yu waved his arms excitedly.

Zhang Yao and Lin Jichuan also came over. Zhang Yao said with a smile, “The last gathering was so much fun, this one will definitely be even more exciting.”

Lin Jichuan couldn’t wait to ask, “What kind of activities are there? Tell us quickly, Wan’yuan.”

Jiang Wan’yuan cleared her throat and began to describe the event vividly: “When we get there, we can try out the interstellar adventure simulation game at the base, and there will be a bonfire party at night. We can all sing and dance together, and maybe even see a beautiful interstellar meteor shower!”

The students listened, their faces filled with excited smiles, and they all said they would definitely participate.

Yi Shang watched the lively scene and couldn’t help but reveal a faint smile. She stood up, walked to the podium, and said in a clear but cool voice, “Since everyone is so excited, let’s prepare properly. Jiang Wan’yuan is in charge of counting the number of attendees, Zhang Yao and Lin Jichuan will help contact the base to confirm the activity arrangements and costs. I’ll prepare some emergency supplies that might be needed. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, feel free to bring them up.”

“Okay!” the students replied in unison, and the classroom was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

In the time that followed, the students chatted excitedly, discussing the various details of the gathering. Some suggested preparing some fun team games, while others were thinking of bringing their own homemade interstellar delicacies to share.

As the bell rang for class, the students reluctantly returned to their seats, but their hearts were filled with anticipation for the upcoming weekend gathering.

As soon as the bell rang after class, Jiang Wan’yuan, like a busy little bee, grabbed her electronic clipboard and scurried around the classroom, asking each student if they would be attending the gathering and carefully recording their names. “Li Hua, are you going? The weekend gathering will be super fun!” “Wang Qiang, don’t miss this opportunity!” Her enthusiastic demeanor infected every student.

Zhang Yao and Lin Jichuan quickly found a quiet corner and began contacting the interstellar camping base using their portable smart terminals. Zhang Yao skillfully operated the screen, browsing the base’s introduction and activities while discussing with Lin Jichuan, “Look at this interstellar adventure simulation game, it seems to have several difficulty levels. Which one should we choose?”

Lin Jichuan stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then said, “Everyone’s skill level is different, how about we choose a medium difficulty level? That way it will be a bit challenging, but not so hard that people can’t play.”

The two also communicated with the base staff about the bonfire party’s venue layout, equipment rental, and other details, and carefully inquired about the best location and time to watch the interstellar meteor shower. The staff promised to fully cooperate and create an unforgettable gathering for the students.

Yi Shang, on the other hand, used her spare time to select emergency supplies from the school’s storage room. She carefully checked each item, from the portable medical kit to the multi-functional distress signal device, to the warm blankets and energy supplements, ensuring that each item could play a role in a critical moment. She thought to herself, “Even though it’s just a gathering, safety always comes first.”

At the same time, the students in the classroom weren’t idle either. They were discussing what to bring to the gathering. Sun Yu said excitedly, “I’m going to bring my interstellar drone and perform aerial stunts for everyone.” Other students said they would bring their treasured interstellar music records to play at the bonfire party.

After Jiang Wan’yuan finished counting the number of people, she ran to Yi Shang and said excitedly, “Yi Shang, almost the entire class is going! Everyone is really looking forward to it. Oh, I thought of something fun, how about we have an interstellar creative fashion show? Let everyone wear costumes with interstellar elements that they designed themselves.”

Yi Shang nodded slightly, her lips curving upward. “That’s a good idea, it can add to the fun of the gathering. You can notify everyone in the class group and let them prepare in advance.”

Soon, Jiang Wan’yuan posted a notice about the interstellar creative fashion show in the class group, along with some creative interstellar costume pictures as references. The students responded enthusiastically, some saying they wanted to design a cool costume like an interstellar warrior, while others planned to make a dreamy dress that could simulate the shimmering effects of the cosmic starry sky.

As the weekend approached, the preparations for the gathering were also proceeding in an orderly manner. Jiang Wan’yuan updated the preparation progress in the class every day, Zhang Yao and Lin Jichuan maintained close communication with the base, and Yi Shang arranged the prepared emergency supplies in an orderly manner. The whole class was immersed in a joyful and expectant atmosphere, as if they were about to welcome a grand interstellar party.

As the day of the weekend gathering drew nearer, an atmosphere of excitement and busyness permeated the campus. Every student involved in the preparation was like a tightly wound alarm clock, going all out for the gathering.

Jiang Wan’yuan had become the core little engine of the gathering preparations. She always clutched that little notebook full of plans in her hand, darting around every corner of the campus. At this moment, she was standing in front of the school’s bulletin board, writing the latest news about the gathering on it with a colorful electronic pen, and next to it she pasted some cute stickers full of interstellar elements to attract the students’ attention. As she wrote, she muttered to herself, “This color is more eye-catching, everyone will definitely see it at a glance.”

In the classroom, Zhang Yao and Lin Jichuan sat by the window, studying the information about the interstellar camping base on the computer screen. Zhang Yao bit her pen, her expression focused. “Lin Jichuan, look at this open-air interstellar cinema, it’s very atmospheric, but what if it suddenly rains at night?” Lin Jichuan scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, “How about we prepare some large energy shield generators? If the weather changes, we can activate the shield, which can block the rain without affecting people watching the movie.” The two discussed every detail carefully.

At the same time, Yi Shang was in the school’s laboratory, carefully checking the emergency supplies prepared for the gathering. The table in front of her was filled with various items, from advanced medical nano-repair instruments to multi-functional survival kits that could provide assistance in extreme environments. Yi Shang picked up a small interstellar locator, carefully checked its battery level and signal strength, and muttered, “Hopefully we won’t need these, but just in case, we must ensure that everything is working properly.”

On the other side, Sun Yu and several students interested in technology were in the activity room of the science club, making the final adjustments to the performance projects for the gathering. Sun Yu was controlling his modified interstellar drone. The drone flew nimbly in the air, with colorful flames spraying from its tail, and it could also simulate various interstellar flight sound effects. “Hey, look, this performance will definitely shock everyone!” Sun Yu shouted excitedly, and the students nodded, their eyes full of anticipation.

And in the handicraft classroom, a group of ingenious students were busy making decorations for the gathering. They used special materials with fluorescent effects to make planet-shaped pendants and drew beautiful interstellar paintings. “It will look super nice to hang this planet on the dome of the camping base,” a student said happily, holding up the newly made planet pendant.

In the school cafeteria, there were also students discussing the food menu for the gathering with the chefs. “Master, can you teach us how to make that interstellar-style bursting energy ball? The students will definitely like it.” The chef smiled and nodded, patiently explaining the making method.

The entire campus was immersed in an atmosphere of active preparation for the gathering, and every student was contributing their own strength to this upcoming joyful gathering, looking forward to spending an unforgettable time with everyone on the weekend.
