Chapter 629: He’s Got The Guts

The winter camp training has begun.

Yun Xi and Zhao Yumo made an appointment to meet at the location of the winter camp training center, the Kyoto Inst.i.tute of Biological Sciences.

The Jingdu Inst.i.tute of Biological Sciences was affiliated with the Jingdu University. On this occasion, it was collaborating with the Organizing Committee of the National Biology Compet.i.tion to organize this training camp.

The purpose of the camp was to award top talents for the country, but at the same time, it also retains some of the top talents for the country.

Yun Xi stepped into the Academy of Sciences. The architecture around her was both new yet familiar. Memories of her past life flooded into her brain and overwhelmed her.

Once upon a time, she had spent countless days and nights in the laboratory of the Academy of Sciences.

She was once the protégé of an academic and professor, but she had abandoned her promising career for a man. She had given up on her sacred duties to step into the world of business, and eventually, she had grown into a strong businesswoman.

But her desperation for love left her dead, with her body in pieces. Looking back at her past life, Yun Xi couldn’t help but notice the irony.

“Yun Xi? Yun Xi!” Zhao Yumo called out to her, waiting for her response. She waved her hand in front of Yun Xi’s face until she came back to her senses.

“Huh? What’s the matter?” Yun Xi blinked innocently and looked blankly at Yumo, who was staring back at her. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“I thought there was something wrong with you! Are you okay? Are you uncomfortable?”

“No, I’m okay.” Yun Xi shook her head and pointed her chin at the school gate with a half-hearted smile. “I was just thinking… Zhou Chengzhe’s final exam was canceled, so do you think he’s got the guts to attend this winter camp training?”

“Why wouldn’t he?” Zhao Yumo snorted. “He’s got the guts. If you don’t believe me, just wait.”

Zhao Yumo had dealt with Zhou Chengzhe for three years. She could even predict which exam questions he would get wrong! She would surely know what he was going to do next.

Yun Xi placed her hand on the handle of her trolley bag, then waited idly as more and more cla.s.smates showed up.

Soon, almost everyone had arrived. The person in charge of the training camp and the members of the organizing committee were also late. Yun Xi counted the number of people present and realized that they were only two people short.

Just as the starting time was approaching, a voice came from the group of students: “Teacher, Professor, I’m sorry! We were stuck in a traffic jam on the road!”

Mr. Lu Zhiwei, the person in charge of the compet.i.tion and the training camp, looked up from the roster in his hands and glanced at the two late arrivals. He nodded his acknowledgment and flipped through the roster to start the roll call.

Yun Xi turned her to Zhou Chengzhe, who had taken up the s.p.a.ce next to her, and another cla.s.smate wearing the uniform of the affiliated high school. Her eyes quickly swept over Zhou Chengzhe’s suitcase and backpack.

It was only a ten-day training camp and yet, Zhou Chengzhe had packed more things than she did. Whether it contained things that weren’t allowed at the camp was something that was worth investigating.

Zhou Chengzhe glared back fiercely when he caught Yun Xi staring at him. He instinctively tightened his grip on his trolley case, as if there was something valuable in it.

Yun Xi had a hunch based on what she observed. She turned away to look at the training teacher, but her thin lips curled up into a devious smile.

Zhou Chengzhe was just asking for trouble, so no one could blame Yun Xi for being so devious. She made a promise to herself, that during the period of this winter camp training, she would finally deal with this problematic person. He won’t be able to cause any trouble for her during the college entrance examination.

She had to do it now, since she probably would not have any time to deal with him then!

There were no tasks on the first day. After the a.s.sembly, the students were a.s.signed their dormitory rooms. Yun Xi, Zhao Yumo, and the other two affiliated high school students, Zhang Peipei and Jian Junling, were a.s.signed to the same dormitory room. Zhang Peipei was the head of the dorm.

Zhang Peipei was a little surprised to be named the head of the dorm by Teacher Lu Zhiwei. She had a.s.sumed that it would be Yun Xi, and she never would have guessed that it would be herself.

She nervously looked at Yun Xi, expecting her to be angry or jealous. But when she saw that Yun Xi was happily applauding and nodding her approval, Zhang Peipei felt encouraged. She was suddenly a little more fond of the top-ranking student.
