Chapter 61

  "Alright, let's stop here!" After walking for a while longer, Xiuzhu called out to halt. He stood with one hand on his waist and looked around, seemingly satisfied as he nodded his head. I lifted my head to look at the sky, then glanced at my watch - although the sun was already preparing to set in the west, it was only just past six o'clock.

  But he was in such a hurry to instruct the tent.

  It seems like this isn't a good sign.

  As expected, after everything was settled, this young master stood among the crowd with a commanding presence, as if directing thousands of troops. "The destination is not far ahead, but to enhance the fun of exploration and to prevent some classmates from muddling through their days, I have decided..." He paused, and I clearly felt that his phrase "some classmates" was directed at me. His gaze seemed to accidentally sweep over me, with a hint of deeper meaning in his eyes. "Group activities!"

  I'm so helpless, I'm speechless... I thought it was some earth-shattering, unprecedented, and epoch-making great decision, but it turned out to be such a ridiculously stupid idea.

  I'm too lazy to even call it creativity...

  A girl couldn't wait to ask what's next, and someone shook his slender and good-looking index finger, blinking his eyes and saying: "Actually it's very simple, just drawing lots, but the way of drawing lots is different from usual."

  Anyway, there's no good idea, I turned around and decided not to care about the cunning in his eyes.

  Under the command of Bamboo No. 1, Qin Chuan and another boy put down a bundle of red ropes on the ground, and then a large box suddenly appeared out of nowhere. This box looked just like an ordinary lottery box.

  "Everyone draws a number from the box, oh, there are only two kinds of cards inside, red and blue. The red side selects one red thread from Qin Chuan, the blue side goes to the other side, in short, it's just a simple drawing of red threads." I'm sweating, this melodramatic plot twist, he actually thought of it...

  "Cheng, take it!" Qin Chuan said with a smile, holding the box in front of me. I glanced at him and reached into the box while chatting, "Don't you still have a mission? Why are you doing this?"

  "It's because it's so interesting." I always feel that when he smiles, his bookish appearance and refined features are of the same type as...

  "Huh? Logically speaking, his speed shouldn't be so fast that I'm the last one, right? But rummaging through the box, it seems like there are only two cards inside. I didn't think much of it and just assumed he was efficient at his job. Taking out the card to take a look, hmm, it's red."

  Qin Chuan saw that I had finished, so he lifted the box in front of Ye Chenyi. Ye Chenyi didn't even look at him and took out a blue card. As a result, Ye Chenyi and I had to stand on opposite sides.

  "Huh? Didn't we only have two left just now? Logically speaking, after Ye Chenyi finished drawing, there shouldn't be any more. But Qin Chuan turned around and continued working. I don't seem to be seeing things, as more than one person has already taken out cards from that "empty" box."

  Strange things.

  I glanced suspiciously at that gorgeous box, shrugged and stood beside Qin Chuan who was already working on the next task.

  I picked one out of that bunch of red threads, hmm, actually it wasn't random at all, because I always felt that this thread's color was more vibrant than the others, so I was very curious.

  Wrap after wrap, I'm getting a headache. How can I get through this tightly tangled ball of thread and meet the other end?

  Ye Chenyi is on the opposite side, can I say that I have a chance to entangle him with that red thread in between?

  It's also a very romantic thing, the girls who know the student union are all flushed and excited, I rolled my eyes, the ratio of boys to girls in this game is really striking, most of them are girls on this side, but there are only a few more boys on that side.

  I suddenly felt a strong gaze from across the way, I lifted my head to look over, but couldn't find that familiar feeling - Ye Chenyi was looking somewhere else.

  Is it an illusion?

  Everyone including Qin Chuan and another boy had already tied the red thread, Xiuzhu waved his hand: "Everyone must work together to untie it." I glanced at him speechlessly, if he's capable, let him come down and untie it himself.

  The student association added us few specially invited people, making the total number an odd one, so there must be someone left out. I took a look at Master Xiuzhu's face, which showed no intention of doing anything, and I sneered in my heart: He really has self-awareness and doesn't go to harm others.
