Carrying a Jurassic on me

Chapter 152 - 28 Simple Summer Camp_1

Chapter 152: Chapter 28 Simple Summer Camp_1While most people can’t help but become anxious after an exam, Xu Xiaoyan found an tree to hide behind and enjoyed her watermelon to the fullest. Yan Fei couldn’t help but comment, "Don’t you want to compare answers with others?"

"Why would I bother? The test is over. The results will show up eventually. It’s a waste of time and effort. I’m parched!" Xiaoyan replied carelessly.

"Didn’t you want to apply to Yanjing University? I’ve heard it’s hard to get into." Yan Fei recalled that she seemed quite concerned about this a few days ago, but she had not mentioned it since.

"None of your business, hmph!" The young woman bit into her watermelon, her ferocious look giving Yan Fei the impression that it was he, not the fruit, feeling her teeth. "I’ll apply somewhere you can’t find, then you won’t be able to find me, hmph!"

She seemed prepared to just lounge around until it was time for lunch and then take the afternoon exam. Yan Fei had no choice but to persuade her to return to her dormitory and start preparing for the afternoon exam. It was only after he promised to make her a delicious lunch meal that he managed to dispatch her.

Even with his obtuseness, Yan Fei noticed that this girl was behaving quite oddly.

Just a moment ago, another examinee had left the school gate and immediately burst into tears, unable to be comforted no matter how many people tried.

Xu Xiaoyan had seemed normal a few days ago, and Yan Fei had sensed her tension. Her strange relaxation today, however, was making him uneasy.

Considering Yan Fei found this abnormal, it stands to reason that it was indeed quite extreme.

Once the girl had finally sauntered into the school, Yan Fei hurriedly

He had to go all the way to the outskirts of the small woodland before he found an isolated spot. He then slipped into Vegetable Garden Island, picking out two tomatoes.

He wasn’t in a hurry to return; he leisurely ate one himself before heading back with the other.

"There really are tomatoes? This tomato is great, it’s a sandy one! Aren’t you having any? Have half!" Xu Xiaoyan took the tomato, easily divided it into two parts with a little force, and offered him half.

Yan Fei didn’t mention that he just had one, he took the offered half and bit off a large chunk, "Hurry up and study for a while, it might come in handy later."

"I am studying!" Xu Xiaoyan mumbled as she munched on her tomato.

Yan Fei: "..."

In the afternoon, he was not the only one who had brought a large watermelon. The other parents weren’t fools either, it was just that they were too concerned about their children’s exams and had only taken care of their children’s needs without giving a thought to their own. With his "reminder", quite a few parents also brought chairs and watermelons in the afternoon.

A middle-aged man not far from Yan Fei took out his watermelon and waved it at him smugly, provoking an admonishing yank from the woman next to him.

Yan Fei didn’t back down. He put his watermelon on the table, gestured towards it with his hands, and then gestured towards the man’s watermelon. Exaggerating his movements so that people could see, it was immediately evident:

His island-grown watermelon was several generations old; its size could in no way be compared to the regular watermelon the man had. The man was immediately put out, prompting the woman beside him to giggle uncontrollably.

Then, all he could do was wait. When Xu Xiaoyan left the examination room, she was as nonchalant as ever, leaving Yan Fei at a loss for words.

In any case, she carried on like this. If she wasn’t studying on the first day, she’d be on a field trip the next. It was as if she wasn’t there to take exams at all.

Yan Fei wanted to ask her if she didn’t want to go to university, but considering that the exams were ongoing, he dared not ask.

It wasn’t until the afternoon, when this girl entered the examination room for the last test, that Yan Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he picked up a large watermelon and continued practicing his "carving" skills.

When the examination finally ended, Yan Fei put down his big watermelon - which had been "carved" into a flower - and looked at the school gate.

There were tears and laughter, people full of confidence, and others despondent. All of life’s ups and downs seemed to be condensed at the entrance of this compact examination venue.

Yan Fei watched carelessly, wondering when Xu Xiaoyan would come out.

It was not until most of the people had dispersed that he saw her walk out with two other girls.

In addition to Xu Xiaoyan, the other two were carrying something. One held various small snacks, and another a blanket.

Under Yan Fei’s puzzled gaze, the three girls laid the blanket on the ground and gawked, laughing and calling over Yan Fei. "Come sit with us. We left a note on the dormitory door that others are coming later. Today, we’re planning a summer camp outing!"

While shifting over with his stool and sitting down, Yan Fei muttered to himself: Is this what’s called a summer camp? Right here in their own school’s entrance? With this shabby blanket? It’s way too simple.

It was evidence of how frugal the girls were. Those who stayed in dormitories were usually from the village areas where financial conditions were not great. The blanket they were using, albeit old, was carefully patched up wherever it had holes. If it hadn’t been for the end of their high school journey, they probably would not have used it!

As the exam venues were different, and there were also those who had gone to other schools, the arrival times of the girls varied. As if pre-agreed, girls from the county town like Ji Yunyun and Zhou Beibei also came over.

Soon, the small woods began to buzz with life.
