The minibus Wei Jiangyang booked had just arrived downstairs. The three boys loaded the vehicle with the camping equipment and food they had prepared.

Zhang Heng checked out his sf recurve bow from the shooting range the day before.

After about a week of practice, his skills were almost fully recovered. With the help of modern technology, he was able to hit ring 9 at 50-meters. But Zhang Heng’s specialty at was shooting moving targets, although it all depended on the target’s speed and the trajectory.

One particular thing bugged him. He kept feeling that a pair of resentful eyes were gazing at him, which made him a little hesitant to unleash his full potential. By and large, he had to wait for still time to find a place for practice. Now that an opportunity to traverse the wilderness had presented itself, he could find a serene place to practice his archery skills.

“Childe Zhang, if anything dangerous happens, you have to protect me first,” Chen Huadong trilled jokingly. Zhang Heng did not keep his archery lessons a secret from his roommates. All of them knew that he’d just started. In fact, only a week ago and had even searched the net for tutorial videos. How much progress could he have made?

“Alright, don’t forget to fall into my arms when it happens.”

They chatted and laughed as they repeated up and down the stairs. Finally, after loading everything into the back of the van, the three girls made their way to them.

Chen Huadong gave Zhang Heng a nudge with his elbow and said, “The one on the left is Shen Xixi.”

Zhang Heng looked in the direction his friend pointed at and saw a tall girl. Wei Jiangyang sure wasn’t lying when he said that her physical condition was good – she had the body of a model, and was easy on the eyes. Not to mention that, unlike the coquettish superstars on the television and magazines, there was purity in her eyes. There was none of that pretentious, deliberate ‘girl shyness’ on her. It was no wonder that she was the girl of so many boys’ dreams; the Public Relations Departments’ number one ‘good person card’ wholesaler.

Shen Xixi flipped out three bottles of water from her bag and handed them to the three boys. She piped excitedly, “Thank you for the hard work, guys!”

Zhang Heng accepted the bottle and thanked her.

It was the little things that told a lot about a person’s upbringing. It was apparent that Shen Xixi did not consider the three boys as free labor and personal bodyguards, nor did she think that just because she was a girl, letting the boys do the heavy lifting was by default. Such qualities on a woman, especially a beautiful one, was more than hard to come by.

Chen Huadong continued to play the role of an inept, fumbling advisor, He whispered into Zhang Heng’s ear, “It’s been said that Shen Xixi’s father is a university lecturer and her mother is a novel translator. Seems like a good family. So… what do you think? Childe Zhang, I believe your families are well-matched.”

The person that Wei Jiangyang was waiting for was missing. He could not help but ask himself, “Where’s Xiaoxiao? Why isn’t she here yet?”

“Hahaha! Each time we go out, that woman is the most troublesome of all. Putting her makeup on takes forever! Wei Jiangyang, you will suffer when you marry her!” laughed the shortest girl among the three. Standing between the two other girls, she attained a humble 1.5 meters give or take. Needless to say, she was the legal loli, Xu Jing, that Chen Huadong had eyes for.

She had only just finished when someone smacked her over the head.

“Ugh. I’m sorry you had to hear that! I will make sure to discipline this child!” Shen Xixi told Wei Jiangyang, keeping a straight face.

The atmosphere was just starting to feel a little warmer when they suddenly heard a voice call out, “Xixi.”

It was then that the girl’s expressions immediately changed.

“Xixi, are you and your roommates going out to have fun? Why didn’t you tell me? I could send you there.” A flashy chili red BMW 5 Series sports sedan pulled to a stop next to the group.

The guy driving the car pulled the handbrake and stepped out.
