Chapter 925: Trip to Beidu (10)
If Xiu Xi’s departure was to Ruan Jiaojiao a sign that everything had taken a turn for the worse and her life had become empty,
then for Xiu Xi, leaving Ruan Jiaojiao meant enduring agony every single minute and second, to the extent that he could barely stand it!
He had to muster all his self-control just to hold back that restless urge to rush back to her immediately.
At this moment, what kept him here was Ruan Jiaojiao’s expressed desire for a medal; he had to win that medal before he could return home!
There were eight people in total coming to Beidu for the competition, all of them boys. To save on expenses, the teacher in charge booked only two rooms, one for the first and second-year students together with the sixth graders and the freshmen, and the other for students from the three other grades with the teacher leading the team.
The competition would take place tomorrow morning. They would rest in the morning after breakfast, visit the exam site in the afternoon to get familiar with the surroundings, and then as soon as the exam was over the next morning, they would catch the evening train back to Changling. This way, they could save the cost of lodging for the night.
The location for breakfast was arranged by Elder Master Shu since the students’ expenses for coming to Beidu were covered by the school. Elder Master Shu didn’t overwhelm them with generosity but instead helped find a hostel and a place to eat that was affordable and had a good reputation.
After breakfast, the group went back to the hostel for a morning rest. They had some simple provisions for lunch, then the teacher led them to the competition site to familiarize themselves with the venue.
