Outdoor Training Camp 18

  After the business group left, Lin Haotian and Qin Feng did not have any free time, busy with meetings, learning, and summarizing. At least they could go home for dinner at night. Qin Feng often followed Lin Haotian back to the Lin's house, thinking that after dinner he could take Lin Peipei out for a walk and teach her how to drive. But unexpectedly, Lin Peipei was extremely busy these days. She went to driving school during the day and worked overtime to finish her drawings at night. Since Lin Hongjiang gave his consent, people looking for Lin Peipei's paintings were endless. If it weren't for Lin Hongjiang's secretary holding them back, the gate of the mansion would not be easily opened, fearing that even the threshold of the Lin family's house would be trampled flat. Not only did she have to take on other people's work, but also prioritize Lin Hongjiang's tasks first. Now, she was helping Lin Hongjiang rush out a painting for him to bring to the city for a meeting next week. After finishing dinner, she threw down her bowl and ran upstairs again.

  To facilitate her painting, the small living room on the second floor was converted into her small studio. At this time, Qin Feng sat in front of the computer desk in the small living room surfing the internet and accompanying Lin Peipei.

  Qin Feng was browsing the internet listlessly, feeling a bit down. He had wanted to accompany Lin PeiPei out previously, but he didn't have time then. Now that he did, she wasn't available anymore. Originally, it was supposed to be him teaching Lin PeiPei how to drive, but in the end, she went and found someone else to teach her instead. He really missed the days when Lin PeiPei was sick and he stayed by her bedside. He remembered how obedient and helpless she looked then, with her long eyelashes and big eyes blinking innocently, her small mouth pouting unhappily, and her skin looking even more radiant and translucent despite being ill... Wait a minute! What was he thinking about? This brain of his was full of nonsense...

  Qin Feng rubbed his face, feeling a bit flustered, and stood up to walk behind Lin Pei Pei. He leaned forward to watch her paint, but she was so focused on the painting that she didn't notice him approaching. After finishing a stroke, she leaned back to take a step back, only to find herself leaning against a warm back. Qin Feng hadn't expected her to suddenly lean in, and the scene had changed to Lin Pei Pei leaning against his chest, with his chin resting on her shoulder. When Lin Pei Pei turned to look at him, her lips brushed against his cheek, but she didn't seem to notice and continued painting. Qin Feng, however, was taken aback by this sudden touch, feeling like he had been punched in the gut. His heart skipped a beat before racing wildly. He felt his face burning up, and his heart was about to jump out of his chest. His body remained frozen in that pose, luckily Lin Pei Pei didn't see him like that. He touched his face, forced a smile, and stood up to walk away, pretending to drink water to cover up his awkwardness. He couldn't help but sneak glances at Lin Pei Pei, secretly delighted by this unexpected encounter.

  On Sunday morning, Lin Peipei was woken up by Lin Haotian and dragged downstairs.

  "Brother, what's going on? Why did you wake me up so early... wait a minute... Mom, save me!"

  Lin Haotian dragged Lin Peipei along, ignoring her cries from behind and refusing to let go, pretending not to see her pitiful act.

  "Don't call out anymore, even Mom can't save you. You've been hiding at home for so many days, if you hide any longer, you won't be a long-haired person, but a real pig."

  "So where are you taking me?"

  Lin Pei Pei found it useless to pretend to be pitiful, so she changed her strategy and played dumb!

  "I just finished doing dad's chores last night and was enslaved by him. You're bullying me again, I won't take it... mom... brother is bullying me!"

  Wu Shulan smiled as she watched the two siblings playing with flower guns, ignoring Lin Peipei's complaint, and handed her a cup of milk.

  "What's wrong with your brother bullying you, what nonsense are you talking about? It was me who told your brother to take you out for some fun. Today is the weekend, and it just so happens that his group of friends are going to Dabu Mountain for outdoor skills training. I told him to bring you along, so you can clear your mind and not stay cooped up at home all the time. You're always drawing, but you must be tired too, wanting to sleep all the time. Go there, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and you won't feel sleepy anymore. Go on, Xiaofeng is waiting for you outside."

  "That...I should also change into some clothes and prepare a few things first, can't just go like this?"

  Lin Pei Pei heard that her mother wanted her to go and play, and also Peak brother was going, so in her heart she was of course happy, but on the surface she still had to put on a bit of an act, deliberately revealing a face of unwillingness.

  15 minutes later, Lin Peipei appeared in front of Qin Feng wearing the same camouflage training uniform as Lin Haotian. Her long curly hair was tied up in a ponytail at the back of her head, and she wore a baseball cap that covered half of her face, but it made her facial features stand out even more. The delicate and gentle young lady had transformed into a heroic and spirited female soldier.

  Qin Feng smiled and looked at Lin Peipei, took the travel bag from her hand, helped her open the car door. Lin Peipei felt a bit uncomfortable under his gaze, coughed twice, put on sunglasses and got into the car. This time Qin Feng did not sit in the back seat with her, but instead sat in the front passenger seat, leaving the entire back seat for Lin Peipei to rest.

  When Lin Hao Tian went home to pick up his sister, the other members of the group had already set off in another van. Zhou Jing was once again puzzled and asked Tian Lin, who was sitting next to her, "Where's Lao Da Ren and Xiao Hu? Are they going to surprise us again?"

  "I don't know, I heard it's because he went back to pick up his sister last time."

  "Your sister? Have you seen her? I recently heard that she's really popular, every unit wants to go ask her for a draft of her painting. The other day someone even asked me if there was any way I could help introduce them."

  "Don't you dare mess around, you know our boss's taboos. If he finds out you're making these little moves behind his back, be careful or you'll get fired."

  As soon as Tian Lin heard Zhou Jing mention this, she hastily warned her with a serious face. Others might not be aware of it, but as his secretary, she was very clear that Lin Haotian's sister was the treasure of the Lin family. Whoever made a move would die, and there would be no pardon.

  "I'm well aware that even if I had the intention, I wouldn't be able to get past Secretary Gu's screening. Anyone who wants a painting has to go through her first. If there's any issue with my connection, I'd be done for, and I'd rather die than give someone an opportunity to sabotage me."

  "It's fine as long as you know."

  Tian Lin saw that Zhou Jing still knew what was important, and she also put her mind at ease. They were colleagues and good sisters, and she didn't want to see Zhou Jing make a mistake. After finishing speaking, the car fell silent again. Su Mei, sitting in the back row, heard all their words, staring at the scenery outside the window moving quickly, her eyes flickering, and it was unknown what she was thinking about.

  The Dà Yú Shān wilderness training base is a farm-style camp built on the side of a mountain. It has a series of basic training facilities, some of which are similar to expansion training projects, but with higher requirements. The back mountain has small roads that can reach the top of the mountain, and because it is used for training, these small roads are only called small roads, and in some places where the geology is relatively loose, they will be artificially reinforced, basically maintaining their original appearance, so the scenery here has a high degree of preservation of its original flavor. Streams, waterfalls, and towering ancient trees are everywhere, making it a rare and beautiful scenic spot. This place is not only chosen by special units like Lin Hao Tian's, but also by other departments as a great place for leisure, training, and relaxation. Since the groups that come here are not ordinary, the supporting facilities will naturally not be too bad, with houses for overnight stays and pavilions for leisure and entertainment, although the grade is not too high, it is still comfortable enough.

  When Lin Haotian and his party arrived, the others had already arrived and were unloading food and supplies from the vehicle. After getting off the car, Lin Haotian went to arrange the next items with the comrades at the base, while Qin Feng helped move things and let Lin Peipei sit in the hall first.

  Lin Pei's car was surrounded by others who stopped what they were doing and whispered among themselves.

  "Hey, is that our boss's sister? The popular Lin Peipei? She really looks pretty!"

  "It's very pretty, but it's not for you, don't drool."

  "Neither of us will get it, so stop drooling!"

  This is what the men are talking about, and compared with this, the women's discussion is even more lively.

  "Hey! Hey! Tian Lin, that... That girl with the ponytail... She's the pretty girl I was telling you about that day when I went to catch a bus with Lao Da!"

  Zhou Jing was the first to discover the new continent and shouted excitedly.

  "Is it really her? You're not mistaken? Looks like... she's also quite a match for Lao Da..."

  Su Mei heard Zhou Jing's words and suddenly turned her head, staring at the back of Lin Peipei who was walking into the hall. A cold glint flashed in her eyes until Lin Peipei went inside and couldn't be seen anymore. She then withdrew her gaze, glanced at Zhou Jing and Tian Lin, found that they hadn't noticed her, and continued to move things with her head down.

  Lin Pei's sensory organs were highly developed, and she was particularly sensitive to feelings that ordinary people might not easily detect. Su Mei's gaze with a knife-like edge, even from a distance, might have gone unnoticed by others, but Lin Pei felt it. She was puzzled - these people were all strangers to her, where did this hostility come from? But she didn't immediately turn around to look, instead pretending to be nonchalant as she walked into the hall, sitting down in a chair facing the door, where she could see the group of people moving things outside through her sunglasses. Little trick, sister's wearing sunglasses, do you know who I'm looking at or not?

  The crowd was only slightly surprised when Lin Peipei got off the car and whispered to each other, but afterwards they didn't say anything else and didn't have any special expressions. However, Lin Peipei still quickly discovered the clues. Su Mei always intentionally or unintentionally glanced at her with a cold expression, then she saw Qin Feng wiping his sweaty face and handed him a paper towel, but Qin Feng didn't take it, showing a face full of resentment. Lin Peipei's heart was like a mirror, what else couldn't be understood? The corner of her mouth slowly curled up.

  Qin Feng helped move the things and walked to Lin Pei Pei's side, sat down, and handed her a bottle of water. Lin Pei Pei took the water, leaned close to Qin Feng's ear and whispered, "Brother Qin, I found out that as soon as I came, I became someone's imaginary enemy."

  Qin Feng listened to her words and was stunned for a moment, somewhat puzzled.

  "What imaginary enemy?"

  "Don't believe me? Want to try it?"

  Qin Feng looked at Lin Peipei with a playful expression and also had a willing heart, "Alright, how do you want to play?"

  Lin Pei Pei gave him a look that said "just you wait", turned around, saw Su Mei walking in, and with one hand on Qin Feng's shoulder and the other pulling out a tissue paper, spoke in an exaggerated tone while wiping away his sweat.

  "Brother Feng... look at your sweaty face, it's really hot, let me wipe it for you. Ah, there's still some dirt here... and here too... be careful, 45 degrees to the right front..."

  Lin Peipei was acting on stage with a "ya ya" sound, while keeping an eye on Su Mei out of the corner of her eye, and reminding Qin Feng to pay attention.

  Su Mei was shocked as soon as she walked into the hall, her hand clenched so tightly around a bottle of water that it had become misshapen. The plastic water bottle, which had already been opened, suddenly "popped" and water spilled all over the floor. Su Mei stared blankly at the puddle on the ground, while Qin Feng and Lin Pei Pei looked at her, as did everyone else, making her feel embarrassed, so she turned around and walked out.

  Qin Feng watched Su Mei walk out, his eyes dimmed, and he turned to look at Lin Peipei with some concern, trying to see if she was angry from her expression.

  "Pepe..."

  "I know, no need to say anything, which flower is still surrounded by a small bee? Besides, who am I, and who can play tricks under my nose? My heart is clear... Don't worry, you're still my innocent little Peak brother."

  Qin Feng gave Lin Peipei a bunch of nonsense, shutting her up, and couldn't help but laugh at her smug face. He gave her a gentle reprimand, sat back in his chair drinking water, ignoring her. It was really unnecessary to worry that this little girl would have wild ideas.
