_{Lu Xiaobei the beauty, Lu Xiaobei the top student...}
Lu Xiaobei's first impression of Yu Xiaoya, was that of a pair of ruby-red eyes. The two had only looked at one another for ten seconds before Yu Xiaoya lowered her gaze and hung her head a bit low, even her ears had drooped a little too.

Lu Xiaobei the beauty, Lu Xiaobei the top student...

_{In the bath, while squeezing out her shower gel, Xiaoya was lost in thought over her new roommate.}"We're here." Lu Xiaobei walked up to the room numbered 201, then pulled out the key and opened the door.

In the bath, while squeezing out her shower gel, Xiaoya was lost in thought over her new roommate.

_{Since the hands pressed at her sides were clenched into fists, Xiaoya's palms were a bit sweaty. Never in her life had she expected there would be a day she would be walking shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Lu Xiaobei.}After eating, the students all left in groups of two.

Since the hands pressed at her sides were clenched into fists, Xiaoya's palms were a bit sweaty. Never in her life had she expected there would be a day she would be walking shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Lu Xiaobei.

_{Yu Xiaoya hesitated a bit, then walked over to the bed on the left before asking, "I'd like to sleep on the one facing outside, can I?" The balcony and the room was separated by a large pane of glass reaching all the way from the ceiling to the floor, so it was possible for one to see the mountain view in the distance. Yu Xiaoya really liked such a location, but if Lu Xiaobei wanted to sleep on the outer-facing bed, she also wouldn't mind such a thing either.}Seeing Yu Xiaoya sit on her bed, Lu Xiaobei took out her phone and opened her address book, then asked: "Give me your phone number. That way, if we get separated, we can just find one another."

_{When she passed by Lu Xiaobei, the other pulled in her chair a little to give her more space. In response, Yu Xiaoya whispered, "Thank you."}So Yu Xiaoya took out some clothes from her own suitcase, only having to take out one layer of clothing since the heating within the room was sufficient.

When she passed by Lu Xiaobei, the other pulled in her chair a little to give her more space. In response, Yu Xiaoya whispered, "Thank you."

_{Lu Xiaobei, taking out a laptop from her luggage, rested the device on the table then plugged it into the terminal, replying, "Oh, not yet, I still have some stuff to do."}
The scene making Lu Xiaobei think, That new roommate of mine kinda seems like a little bunny.

Lu Xiaobei, taking out a laptop from her luggage, rested the device on the table then plugged it into the terminal, replying, "Oh, not yet, I still have some stuff to do."

_{"Do you really think we were going to let you guys just play around during winter camp?! The most important job for high school students is studying, especially for you third-years. The time for your college exams are already entered a countdown, with your laid back attitudes, do you think you all are ready?! During this one month of winter camp, Mr.}
The teacher allocated all the rooms quite quickly, then announced, "Students, up here in the mountains it gets dark early, so when you're done eating you can just go straight to your rooms to turn in. Every room is equipped with its own bathroom, and the hot water supply is available twenty-four/seven. The conditions here are pretty good. But don't go walking around on your own, alright? If you want to take a look around, you can all do so with the group tomorrow."

"Do you really think we were going to let you guys just play around during winter camp?! The most important job for high school students is studying, especially for you third-years. The time for your college exams are already entered a countdown, with your laid back attitudes, do you think you all are ready?! During this one month of winter camp, Mr. Qi and I will be supervising you all every day, and you will be given self-study classes every day." The tone of the female teacher basically had a winter camp is where you "study hard and make progress day by day" kind of vibe.

_{Lu Xiaobei}
A few students giggled, saying, "Having everyone do things together is so boring. It's easy for ghosts and monsters to come out in deep mountain forests like these."

Lu Xiaobei

_{Even though not one ounce of jealousy sprouted within her heat, Yu Xiaoya still felt somewhat depressed, wondering: How could the gap between this person and me be so big?}Yu Xiaoya almost blurted out "I know you! And I know you're a third year in class eight!" but after hearing Lu Xiaobei's words, she remembered she hadn't introduced herself as yet and wanted to make up for it, but just then she watched her take up her food tray and move to place it on the rack at the front of the dining room.

Even though not one ounce of jealousy sprouted within her heat, Yu Xiaoya still felt somewhat depressed, wondering: How could the gap between this person and me be so big?

_{Lu Xiaobei replied, "Hi, I'm Lu Xiaobei, third year, class eight."}Lu Xiaobei's voice was unlike other girls whose were soft and gentle. Hers was a bit low, carrying traces of magnetism that could inadvertently make a person intoxicated.

Lu Xiaobei replied, "Hi, I'm Lu Xiaobei, third year, class eight."

_{Even though not one ounce of jealousy sprouted within her heat, Yu Xiaoya still felt somewhat depressed, wondering: How could the gap between this person and me be so big?}In an ordinary school like theirs, how could such a mysterious girl exist? Seeming akin to a deep bottomless lake, where no matter how much you gaze into it, you will never lay eyes on where it ends.

Even though not one ounce of jealousy sprouted within her heat, Yu Xiaoya still felt somewhat depressed, wondering: How could the gap between this person and me be so big?

_{Seeing Yu Xiaoya sit on her bed, Lu Xiaobei took out her phone and opened her address book, then asked: "Give me your phone number. That way, if we get separated, we can just find one another."}"Oh, okay." Yu Xiaoya nodded, then asked, "H-how do you know my name?"

_{She couldn't help but get the feeling that this person and her were worlds apart.}
"Every night we'll be calling your rooms to check in on you, so if anybody doesn't answer, your parents will be contacted immediately. Safety is no laughing matter!" The teacher ignored them, then continued, "Tomorrow morning at seven thirty, this place will start serving breakfast. After you eat, I want you all to gather on the third floor of the left building. Don't reach there any later than nine, understood?"

She couldn't help but get the feeling that this person and her were worlds apart.

_{Yu Xiaoya blushed, quickly running back to her table to grab the tray she ate in before, placing it on the rack as well.}"Really?" Lu Xiaobei was in disbelief.

Yu Xiaoya blushed, quickly running back to her table to grab the tray she ate in before, placing it on the rack as well.

_{A boy in the group then asked off-handedly, "Miss, are we going to watch a movie or something? It's not going to be a patriotic one, right?"}In all, the place wasn't that great, but it also wasn't that bad.

_{Lu Xiaobei turned on the heating then walked to every corner of the room, "I'm done checking. The tap, radiator, balcony door, and TV are all working. So if you want to go take a bath, you can do it now if you'd like."}

_{Despite most students not taking the school rules seriously, Yu Xiaoya was an honest child.}Under the faint moonlight, which bore a keen resemblance to a veil, those beautifully defined contours of Lu Xiaobei's face were enveloped. It made Xiaoya inch towards her a bit closer, only to notice that even though the fine hairs on Lu Xiaobei's face could be seen, there wasn't even a single pore visible on the other girl's skin.

Despite most students not taking the school rules seriously, Yu Xiaoya was an honest child.

_{Yu Xiaoya peered inside that room with curious eyes. In the bedroom, there were two single person beds arranged side by side. The bed on the left side had an old-fashioned television at its opposite, and beside it was long desk desk big enough for two persons to sit at when doing their homework. The bedroom even had a little balcony outside it as well as a bathroom inside.}She couldn't help but get the feeling that this person and her were worlds apart.

_{Lu Xiaobei said neither a yes or a no, only moving to sit herself on the right side bed, "Xiaoya, Miss Xu said that each room only has one key, so during the winter camp, we have to do everything together." Miss Xu was the female teacher who led the camp for the winter.}
While walking beside Lu Xiaobei, Yu Xiaoya took the initiative to say, "Hi."

Lu Xiaobei said neither a yes or a no, only moving to sit herself on the right side bed, "Xiaoya, Miss Xu said that each room only has one key, so during the winter camp, we have to do everything together." Miss Xu was the female teacher who led the camp for the winter.

_{"Yeah." Xiaoya who was originally still a bit dispirited, upon hearing Lu Xiaobei's words, immediately relaxed her knitted brows, and sped up her pace to walk beside Lu Xiaobei.}The desk was not far from the bed, and because Lu Xiaobei was sitting there, the walkway got a bit more narrow. So when Yu Xiaoya turned sideways to pass by Lu Xiaoya, she unintentionally got a look at the other girl's laptop screen. There she saw a blue "F" icon on a white background, she was chatting with people, but was also doing so in English?

_{"Really?" Lu Xiaobei was in disbelief.} On the way there, the two didn't say a word to one another, but every now and again, Xiaoya secretly craned her head to take a peak at the person walking beside her. Lu Xiaobei was wearing a long black wind-breaker, and her figure was quite slim. She was also rather tall, a whole half a head taller than Xiaoya. But Xiaoya was unlike most girls with height, as she stood with her own back a bit hunched over. But, when she did stand tall, she was as tall and straight as a pine tree.

"Really?" Lu Xiaobei was in disbelief.

_{Yu Xiaoya peered inside that room with curious eyes. In the bedroom, there were two single person beds arranged side by side.

Lu Xiaobei looked to Xiaoya and smiled. Xiaobei had the standard melon seed^[1] face shape, prominent facial features, and skin so sparkling and clear it was practically translucent. Xiaoya had seen Lu Xiaobei a few times before from a distance, but she never knew she was this good-looking.

The two buildings rented by the school for the winter camp, were not far away, you could see each one from the other, but it still took a couple minutes to make it over if you walked at a unhurried pace.

_{Lu. Xiao. Bei.}While the bathroom was still filled with steam, Yu Xiaoya always stayed in the bathtub until her head felt foggy, only then was she willing to climb out the tub. Holding a huge bath towel, while she left the bathroom for the bedroom, she was also busy drying her hair.

Lu. Xiao. Bei.

_{On the way there, the two didn't say a word to one another, but every now and again, Xiaoya secretly craned her head to take a peak at the person walking beside her. Lu Xiaobei was wearing a long black wind-breaker, and her figure was quite slim.}"Really?" Lu Xiaobei was in disbelief.

On the way there, the two didn't say a word to one another, but every now and again, Xiaoya secretly craned her head to take a peak at the person walking beside her. Lu Xiaobei was wearing a long black wind-breaker, and her figure was quite slim. She was also rather tall, a whole half a head taller than Xiaoya. But Xiaoya was unlike most girls with height, as she stood with her own back a bit hunched over. But, when she did stand tall, she was as tall and straight as a pine tree.

_{Even though not one ounce of jealousy sprouted within her heat, Yu Xiaoya still felt somewhat depressed, wondering: How could the gap between this person and me be so big?}
Lu Xiaobei, taking out a laptop from her luggage, rested the device on the table then plugged it into the terminal, replying, "Oh, not yet, I still have some stuff to do."

Even though not one ounce of jealousy sprouted within her heat, Yu Xiaoya still felt somewhat depressed, wondering: How could the gap between this person and me be so big?

_{Yu Xiaoya hesitated a bit, then walked over to the bed on the left before asking, "I'd like to sleep on the one facing outside, can I?" The balcony and the room was separated by a large pane of glass reaching all the way from the ceiling to the floor, so it was possible for one to see the mountain view in the distance. Yu Xiaoya really liked such a location, but if Lu Xiaobei wanted to sleep on the outer-facing bed, she also wouldn't mind such a thing either.}When night fell, and the moon light was hidden in a haze, the two girls, one in front and one behind, made their way down the path.

_{When night fell, and the moon light was hidden in a haze, the two girls, one in front and one behind, made their way down the path.}
So Yu Xiaoya took out some clothes from her own suitcase, only having to take out one layer of clothing since the heating within the room was sufficient.

_{In the bath, while squeezing out her shower gel, Xiaoya was lost in thought over her new roommate.}While walking beside Lu Xiaobei, Yu Xiaoya took the initiative to say, "Hi."

In the bath, while squeezing out her shower gel, Xiaoya was lost in thought over her new roommate.

_{In an ordinary school like theirs, how could such a mysterious girl exist? Seeming akin to a deep bottomless lake, where no matter how much you gaze into it, you will never lay eyes on where it ends.}
The desk was not far from the bed, and because Lu Xiaobei was sitting there, the walkway got a bit more narrow. So when Yu Xiaoya turned sideways to pass by Lu Xiaoya, she unintentionally got a look at the other girl's laptop screen. There she saw a blue "F"^[2] icon on a white background, she was chatting with people, but was also doing so in English?

_{A boy in the group then asked off-handedly, "Miss, are we going to watch a movie or something? It's not going to be a patriotic one, right?"}Lu Xiaobei said neither a yes or a no, only moving to sit herself on the right side bed, "Xiaoya, Miss Xu said that each room only has one key, so during the winter camp, we have to do everything together." Miss Xu was the female teacher who led the camp for the winter.

A boy in the group then asked off-handedly, "Miss, are we going to watch a movie or something? It's not going to be a patriotic one, right?"

_{The two buildings rented by the school for the winter camp, were not far away, you could see each one from the other, but it still took a couple minutes to make it over if you walked at a unhurried pace.}Yu Xiaoya peered inside that room with curious eyes. In the bedroom, there were two single person beds arranged side by side. The bed on the left side had an old-fashioned television at its opposite, and beside it was long desk desk big enough for two persons to sit at when doing their homework. The bedroom even had a little balcony outside it as well as a bathroom inside.

_{Lu Xiaobei the beauty, Lu Xiaobei the top student...}"I don't have a phone. The phone school doesn't allow me to bring one, so my mum never bought me one, " Yu Xiaoya replied simply. Noticing the rather helpless look on Lu Xiaobei's face that basically had written on it 'this mountain child'.

_{She couldn't help but get the feeling that this person and her were worlds apart.}In all, the place wasn't that great, but it also wasn't that bad.

_{Under the faint moonlight, which bore a keen resemblance to a veil, those beautifully defined contours of Lu Xiaobei's face were enveloped. It made Xiaoya inch towards her a bit closer, only to notice that even though the fine hairs on Lu Xiaobei's face could be seen, there wasn't even a single pore visible on the other girl's skin.}When she passed by Lu Xiaobei, the other pulled in her chair a little to give her more space. In response, Yu Xiaoya whispered, "Thank you."

_{While walking beside Lu Xiaobei, Yu Xiaoya took the initiative to say, "Hi."} The teacher allocated all the rooms quite quickly, then announced, "Students, up here in the mountains it gets dark early, so when you're done eating you can just go straight to your rooms to turn in. Every room is equipped with its own bathroom, and the hot water supply is available twenty-four/seven. The conditions here are pretty good. But don't go walking around on your own, alright? If you want to take a look around, you can all do so with the group tomorrow."

While walking beside Lu Xiaobei, Yu Xiaoya took the initiative to say, "Hi."

_{In such a large dining room, only Lu Xiaobei and their two teachers had tidied up their tables from the twenty or so of them who were in the room. Xiaoya was one of those in the majority, but seeing Lu Xiaobei's natural actions made her a bit embarrassed.}

Xiaobei had the standard melon seed face shape, prominent facial features, and skin so sparkling and clear it was practically translucent. Xiaoya had seen Lu Xiaobei a few times before from a distance, but she never knew she was this good-looking.

_{In all, the place wasn't that great, but it also wasn't that bad.}Since the hands pressed at her sides were clenched into fists, Xiaoya's palms were a bit sweaty. Never in her life had she expected there would be a day she would be walking shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Lu Xiaobei.

In all, the place wasn't that great, but it also wasn't that bad.

Hers was a bit low, carrying traces of magnetism that could inadvertently make a person intoxicated.
