Translated by shi+ya of Exiled Rebels Translations
The date of the ca of next , one would notice that the trip was in less than four days
Lu Shang was going to ask Uncle Yuen to prepare food and otherto the caFei that the camp was a closed-off one They wouldn't even allow attendees to bring any electronic devices, let alone food and otheryourself and nothing else
Since Lu Shang had already agreed to it, he couldn't refuse now Luckily, it was in thea cold during the training ca only prepared a small medicine box with soht before Li Sui had to leave, he quit studying Instead, he took a shower very early on and just stuck to Lu Shang asa vocabulary book with one hand, preaching Li Sui on the topic Unexpectedly, Lu Shang didn't lecture Li Sui for not paying attention, not only that, he brought Li Sui up to the study on the second floor
Li Sui heard ru's father passed away, so very few people would co pulled out the drawer of the desk in the middle of the roo away the dust, he handed it to Li Sui, ”Here Take it”
”What is it?”
”A foldable blade”
Li Sui held the piece in his hand, it was a little thing with an exquisite design On a si more than an ornament with a military e on the side, and when you pulled on an equally concealed lever on the badge, a sharp knife would pop out Apart fro extremely sharp, the blade was also pure black in color Li Sui wasn't sure what the blade wasit a soh Li Sui wasn't an expert on knives and weapons, he could tell that this blade was no low-quality weapon ”I thought they won't let us bring anything to the ca it through the orna it on Li Sui's neck, ”Wear it just in case, as protection” Li Sui was at least one head-space taller than Lu Shang, so when they stood face-to-face, Lu Shang had to tilt his head up to look at Li Sui
”Are you giving this to me?” Li Sui held the orna into a beautiful curve
Lu Shang averted his gaze, ”Once theFei orried—he left his two sons in his care, asking Li Sui to educate the two, and also not to let the two fight However, Li Sui wasn't in with, so if even their father couldn't handle them, what could Li Sui do?
”Honestly, is it a o with the two boat anchors?” Li Sui said dejectedly
”You only have to ensure that they survive” Lu Shang added, ”For the rest, just do what you can If it is dangerous, then it is your first priority to ensure your oell-being”
Lu Shang's reFei's; he felt touched but also found it funny Lu Shang was protecting his own pup so obviously that Li Sui wondered if Yue PengFei were to hear Lu Shang noould he be furious to death
”What are you laughing at?” As Lu Shang asked, he began laughing himself as well, ”Just have fun Even if the sky collapsed, I will be there for you”
The cast the woods of a mountain which was hundreds of kilo further into the woods from the campsite would lead to an area called the Protected Woodlands Because the caet any bars on their phone, the only thing that could be used for co didn't bring Li Sui there himself—he only asked Uncle Yuen to drive Li Sui to the foot of the ot out of the car, he was i was sih he was feeling homesick already, he did his best to bottle these e up the little medicine box, he walked up the , then noto fulfill hisup to the campsite was a plank road, forests were on both sides of the path, and the environment was quite serene However, the ement—the trees were too dense, so the path was poorly lit On the way up, Li Sui began thinking about the poor et up here, so it would be even harder for vehicles to reach the ca turn and wandered out of the Protected Woodlands, it would be extremely hard to launch a rescue
”The ca is in front of you, that area is the forest area There is a protective fence surrounding the whole training grounds; if there are no special reasons, don't wander around on your own That blue building is where you will be having your , at twelve, and at six We serve food on the clock—if you are late, then you will not be getting any food,” the trainer explained as he led Li Sui around the ca ”This is the dor to sleep”
The rooot allocated to was a four-person room, when Li Sui opened the door, the bed near the as already occupied The person lying in bed atching aLi Sui, he raised his head and said a short ”hi” That face was a familiar one
”Why are you here?” Li Sui asked, then his gaze went to the tablet in his hands, ”I thought electronic appliances are not allowed”
SiMa JingRong hit the side of his bed, signaling for Li Sui to sit down Then he pulled out a can of coke fro the can to Li Sui, he said, ”They only said we can't bring any, but they didn't say others can't bring the waved his hand in the air, ”There's no signal here, so at best I can watch a aRong,camps!!!
As the two of the a water bucket The one walking in the front was a scrawny-looking teenager; he was about 16 or 17 years old, and his appearance was quite si, but his skin was paler, and he looked uessed that this person est son
Thesaw hi his tongue The younger one, however, was polite—he glanced at SiMa JingRong, then nodded at Li Sui The younger son was obviously ine why Yue PengFei preferred hi Wei”
That hen Li Sui noticed that another person was at the door, he had a round face and a pair of thick glasses The person called wang Wei was s Wei extended his neck in confusion, ”Ha?”
Li Sui explained, ”The Li for 'dawn', and Sui as in 'deep'”
”Oh…” wang Wei nodded, he pointed at the water bucket at the floor, ”You two have to go get soht There are no shower valves here”
Li Sui nodded, he put his luggage down and was going to get a water bucket
”Sorry, I forgot again” wang Wei stopped Li Sui, he pushed his glasses eain?”
T/N: Haha, I gave the word Sui to all offriends, and none of them knew the word
Before Li Sui arrived at the campsite, he made a plan to smooth out the two SiMas' relationshi+p, and to train seriously to please the trainers He was going to hold out until Lu Shang caet his praises froainst his plan—his plans were foiled on their first night at the ca Wei spoke too loudly, and it annoyed SiMa JingRong So, he scolded wang Wei for being too loud SiMa Yan couldn't accept SiMa JingRong's rudeness, so he spoke a feords in wang Wei's defense The two SiMas then began fighting in the room
Clothes and pilloere thrown all around, they even threw SiMa JingRong's tablet wang Wei's hearing seemed to be faulty, he didn't even think to stop the two, even when they were th to pull the two of the who hit him The commotion notified the trainers in the lower floor, in no time, everyone in their room were kicked out for punishment They were punished to stand outside in the woods
Nights in the old forest were nothing like the ones in the city; there were no lights, it was as if the air around them were soaked in black ink—they couldn't even see their own fingers The weather was not in their favor They couldn't see theof leaves It always felt like so behind the was there
The howling of wolves from afar reached their ears, all of them were petrified They were just kids who'd left ho in a deserted place like this Everyone shi+vered in the darkness, not daring to ht co was homesick fro in this chilly place, he began sobbing
”You're crying? How old are you already?” SiMa Yan scoffed
SiMa JingRong stopped crying i this on purpose, aren't you? You just want me to feel bad”
”Yeah, it is on purpose You're the one who started it”
”Oh, do you think I won't hit you here?”
Li Sui's headache grew; he was already ot him even more furious Li Sui yelled, ”Shut up, the both of you!”
The two really went silent Li Sui continued, ”From now on, resolve your affairs internally; everyone will suffer if the problems reach the trainers Next time, whoever started it and joined in should take responsibility theust of wind blew past theht moment Li Sui finished his speech, and none of the afterwards
In this pitch-black environhost stories to scare the In no time, everyone was numb to the creepiness of the forest; instead, their upper and lower eyelids began fighting None of the but sleep
An uncertain amount of tis were going to give out, the trainer blew the whistle fro SiMa JingRong's back, he said, ”Let's go We can finally get so to stand for so long, they pulled the their feet like zo Wei wasn't with the at the same position, his eyes were shut, and he was asleep He just fell asleep standing there
At night, Lu Shang was sitting at the office desk, looking at company documents Uncle Yuen closed the door behind him, ”They've reduced his sentence—he will be released in six years”
Lu Shang nodded, ”Thank you for your hard work”
”You are not telling hi a pen treht ti and asked, ”How is it at his end? Is he used to the new environment?”
”I heard fro fine”
