The sun split down through the trees, warm and clean. It was sunny but cold in the Snow Town, students chatted loudly in small groups as they walk, They walk to and from different campuses leisurely. Very few of them, in a hurry. Students sitting at tables some working, some sleeping, students laying in the grass. Loud laughter split the air along with the sound of running. Some boys were shooting bows and arrows, while others were laughing and messing around. Some girls smiled excitedly while others giggled behind their hands. Bai Luo threw himself down at their open table in the cafeteria with a happy sigh.
"We got our table, I see," Guo Canran stated like a pleased cat, he yawns lazily and sat down.
"Why did we need to run like madmen to get here first and save it for you though?" Mu Jin complain
"I don't remember anyone asking you to do that, did they?" Zhang Wang said and walk to the other side of the table and sit
"Can you not be that straightforward all the time? it's hurt" Mu Jin look at Zhang Wang pitifully
"Yeah, I feel your pain brother Jin." Bai Luo answer...
"So what are we eating?" Qin Gehui got straight to the point
This was the main reason they came to the cafeteria
Bai Luo got up and left, a moment later, he came back holding a big plate with a watermelon on it.
"Let have some watermelon first, while we discussed what to eat."
Qin Gehui: "A watermelon in winter?" Qin Gehui asked
Zhang Wang: "Has there ever been summertime in the Snow Tower?"
Bai Luo put down the plate on the table, his eyes instantly turn red, and he sob, "Oh, brother Wang, this is the first time you speak on my behave, I'm so ~ excited." he intensively drags the 'so excited'
"Stop being dramatic." Guo Canran lazy voice sounded
"Since when did you become a mood killer? hum," Bai Luo pouted and sat down
"This group seems to be exciting, can I sit." Yuan Zhongxin came to Squad 7 table and asked.
"Sure, why not, have a seat and help yourself." Chen Fan offer.
"Thanks." Yuan Zhongxin said and took a piece of watermelon to eat
While eating the watermelon, the group came to an agreement and order their food.
🥟🥩🌮🥗🥙🥙
"Siyang seems to be unnaturally quiet today." Mu Jin said and look at Yuan Zhongxin who eyes didn't leave Li Siyang since he came. `Could this be what I think it is?" Mu Jin thought and smile evilly
"Yeah, Siyang is unusually quiet today, ... but what's with that evil smile on your face." Bai Luo asked and approach Mu Jin.
"Do you know something? come on, tell me, I want to hear it," he asked again
"No, nothing."
"I know you're hiding something, come on, spill it out already."
"it's nothing, really."
"hmm, I... I don't believe it. tell me please ...."
" knock it off already, you two." Shen Qingchen's voice interrupts them.
Mu Jin let out a long sigh of relief. while Bai Luo went back to his seat.
"Other squads have already started going on mission. Squad 3, went down the mountain this morning." Shen Qingchen said
"They all have teachers anyway, once their teacher says they are ready, they will be given a mission immediately." Guo Canran said
"When will we be given a mission too?" Bai Luo ask pitifully
"This evening." Li Siyang answer
"..."
"..."
"huh? If you want to lift the atmosphere, then there's no need." Mu Jin said
Li Siyang smile: "I'm serious, my master told them to give us a mission, and the dean said we should see him this evening."
"You should have told us earlier ." Bai Luo said excitedly, well, you can't blame him that was a piece of unexpected news.
"In the evening at what time?" Chen Fan ask
"4:30 pm." Siyang answer.
"umm, what squad is this?" Yuan Zhongxin asked
"Seven." Guo Canran answers without thinking. well, thinking about this guy's intention is even more tiring.
🌞🌞🌞
it was 4:45 in the dean office
"You guys will be going on your first. This is a very important one, so you must be careful. Usually, first-year students would have to go on a 'c' level mission, but because of what your masters said, we decided to give you an 'A' level mission. " The dean said
"Yahoo!" Bai Luo shouted with excitement. Their first mission is finally here.
"However, " the dean added "if you fail, this will be your last mission for the next two years. " His tone was dark and his words were full of threats
"Joy has a slender body that breaks too soon" Bai Luo sighed
"Yap, you are very correct, bro." Mu Jin nodded in agreement
The dean passed them the mission booklet which Qin Gehui accepted with both hands.
"You guys, I advise you to think about this carefully. You can leave for the mission anytime you like. The war between Northern and Southern Du Jiang will start in one month and two weeks. You have two choices, the first is to make peace between the opposite sides. Which is impossible as many people have tried before. Now here comes the second option, You should help Southern Du Jiang win the war if you can't make peace between them. Are you willing to accept this mission?" The dean asked again
Siyang looked at his squad members. Shen Qingchen noticed his gaze and nodded, seeing this, the others also followed suit and nodded.
"We accept the mission and will do our best to achieve a better result. " Siyang ashore
"Very well then, good luck out there. " the dean smile mockingly
"Thank you, sir. " Mu Jin returned the smile
Just they were about to leave, the dean called out: "Wait a minute, you have someone to escort you. Yuan Zhongxin will go with you as a monitor. "
"What! Yuan Zhongxin?" Li Siyang asked almost immediately
"What, do you have a problem with it?" The dean asked
Siyang was silent for a moment, "No, I don't. "
"Good to hear that. "
"Don't worry, I won't get in your way." Yuan Zhongxin smiled
