Although Brother Lin said he had a way, it still seemed quite troublesome, and Yan Han was already considering giving up and simply didn’t want to go.
In the end, it was Lin Jianlu who persuaded him.
Firstly, he wanted Yan Han to have a complete high school experience. Yan Han had dropped out of school halfway through his previous education, and when he went to school, he had to pay for his own tuition and living expenses, making his life trajectory different from others.
Now that he had finally had a second chance, he was diligently studying like a good student, but Lin Jianlu didn’t want him to think of nothing but studying when he looked back on his high school life.
The second reason was that Yan Han’s birthday was coming up soon, which happened to be on the last day of the winter camp. Lin Jianlu had even prepared a gift for him, which he could give him then.
Yan Han’s birthday was the same as the original owner’s, but he hadn’t celebrated his birthday for many years, and the older brother had no concept of it, so he had never noticed that his birthday was approaching.
While he himself didn’t care, someone else had always been very attentive.
Ever since he first inquired about his birthday, Lin Jianlu had kept it in mind.
It was said that this birthday gift had been prepared for a long time…
Although he was never considered his birthday a big deal, given Brother Lin’s financial and human resources, the fact that he had been preparing a gift for half a year… to be honest, Yan Han was quite looking forward to it. He was also very touched.
Unable to refuse such a kind offer, Lin Jianlu said that the gift would be best given to him with other classmates present for the best effect, so Yan Han couldn’t refuse any longer and simply joined the group to attend the winter camp.
The winter camp was more diverse than he had imagined.
Having participated in a group tomb sweeping once before and being annoyed by all the posed photos, Yan Han thought this would be another activity mainly focused on taking pictures.
Unexpectedly, the themes were quite varied.
On the first day, all the students took a bus out of the city to a resort that was rented out to various schools or companies for outdoor activities.
The resort was designed to resemble a military academy, and the management was strictly military-style; it was said that they had even hired instructors to train them.
The first thing the teachers did was assign them rooms. Sure enough, it was the legendary two-story dormitory-style room where all the girls in the class shared one room.
But Lin Jianlu said there was always a way, and while he kept a cold face as he put his luggage on his assigned bed, he wasn’t as utterly dejected as he seemed.
Fortunately, after putting their luggage away, all the students went to the cafeteria for lunch, and then training began immediately, leaving him little time to stay in the girls’ dormitory.
It was only after arriving at this place that these students understood what the upperclassmen meant by “not fun.”
The military-style winter camp was modeled after the daily life and training of soldiers and officers in winter. On their first day, they spent the entire afternoon outside doing physical training. The content was simple but not easy, consisting mainly of standing at attention and marching.
The weather in January was already quite cold, and although everyone had a training uniform instead of school uniforms, it didn’t seem to offer much protection from the wind…
It truly tested their willpower.
There was still no time to rest after dinner. At 6:30 PM sharp, an indoor wilderness survival drill class began. A large group of students sat together listening to the instructors explain various wilderness survival techniques, and had to take notes because they could be called on at any moment…
The students, who had initially been eager and full of fighting spirit, thinking they were just there for fun, were completely worn down by the afternoon and evening classes, like wilted eggplants, utterly helpless and lifeless.
However, Yan Han, who had already gained a reputation as a “genius” among his classmates this semester, displayed an unexpected vitality.
Whether it was the afternoon military training or the evening theory classes, Yan Han was full of energy and enthusiasm.
Perhaps for other students, winter camp was just paying money to suffer, but for Yan Han, this activity was a way to relax and unwind.
First, he didn’t feel mentally or physically tired; second, when it came to boredom, what could be more tedious than math, language, foreign languages, physics, chemistry, and biology?
While other students were either soundly asleep or secretly playing on their phones, he listened intently to the survival skills and knowledge taught in the theory class.
The theory class officially ended at 9 PM. According to the school’s schedule, they had to get up early the next morning, so the lights-out time for the first day was set for 10 PM.
However, after class, the previously lifeless students suddenly came alive again. A large number of them slipped into the small supermarket downstairs from the dormitory, grabbing instant noodles for a late-night snack. Some even set up card games there.
Although training and classes were strictly managed, no one bothered them this time.
The supermarket owner was clearly not new to doing business there; he was eager for students to spend money there, having prepared the space for them long ago. For the students who had been stressed all day, this rare moment of relaxation was more precious than usual.
Yan Han didn’t go back to his dormitory; he hadn’t stepped into that place since putting down his luggage.
Lin Jianlu offered to help him, telling him to find a place to wait. So he simply sat in the small supermarket, playing cards with some people while listening to the other classmates chatting and joking around.
When it came to who was the most enthusiastic and professional at organizing a card game, it had to be Wen Juerong and the old class monitor’s group.
Wen Juerong and his friends had arrived early and found a prime spot in the supermarket. Yan Han hadn’t expected this; as soon as he entered, he was surrounded by the Yan gang and invited to the card game.
Wen Juerong was overjoyed when he arrived, and Yan Han, seeing many of the old-timers from Class 14 there, also became interested, and the group huddled together, laughing and joking as usual.
Although he hadn’t played cards for almost half a year, his past experience was still there, and Yan Han played cards with these classmates with ease.
The most taboo thing in a card game was letting your opponents see your expression after you draw your cards; the eldest brother always had his own methods for being mysterious.
His hair had grown a bit long again recently, and his half-length bangs, combined with his calm expression, made him look as unfathomable as ever, exuding an air of mystery that made people want to investigate.
