_Captain
Early the next morning, while the first wisps of the sun's rising rays shone down, Yu Xiaoya felt like if she was still lost in a dream, the thought causing her to rub her eyes, as a beautiful face that had no right to appear in the human world was currently before her. The impact of it all was simply too much for her, which was why Yu Xiaoya felt as if her head had grown dizzy.

Captain

_{"Are you alright?" The others were laughing and carrying on, but only Lu Xiaobei noticed Xiaoya seemed a dazed, so she asked the other girl out of concern.}But right now, instead...

_{Throw the Handkerchief [丢手帕]: this a kid's game played by seating five or more people in a circle and having one person holding a handkerchief encircle everyone from behind while they all sing a song.}Gao Heng then interceded, "Since our little junior can't think of a question, I'll take on that mantle myself."

Throw the Handkerchief [丢手帕]: this a kid's game played by seating five or more people in a circle and having one person holding a handkerchief encircle everyone from behind while they all sing a song. The handkerchief holder then chooses a person to secretly drop the handkerchief behind, the person who it was dropped by has to then quickly chase the thrower to win, but if the thrower steals the chaser's seat, the chaser has to pay a penalty. It's kinda like duck duck goose. [] Close your eyes when it gets dark [玩天黑请闭眼]: is a detective, murder-mystery boardgame and an online game that requires 8-16 people who are allotted the roles of policemen, killers, or civilians (for basic gameplay, you can have less people). The number of players determines how many cops or killers an be in the game (8-10 players: 2 killers and officers max; 10-14: 3 killers and officers max; 15-16: 4 killers and officers max). A judge is selected and they shuffle and deal the cards which must be kept hidden. After looking at your cards, the judge announces it's dark and everyone stops moving and closes their eyes quietly. The judge then announces for the killers to open their eyes so they can each see their comrades. Then the judge asks the killer to kill, and they quietly agree on a person to kill, the judge notes the person and after telling the killers to close their again, the judge announces to the police to open their eyes. The police then all confirm their companions... Okay, this goes on for a good while but you get the gist. Think, Among Us.[] Black White Match [黑白配]: A game to reduce multiple people down to two, and rock—paper—scissors is used to narrow a group of two down to one.

They were all currently staring at Lu Xiaobei, eyes filled with sparkles as if they were seeing a celebrity.

_{Mr. Qi was around twenty seven to twenty eight years old. He always wore a pair a gold-rimmed glasses, and had fair skin. He was a handsome man, one who always had a graceful air surrounding him, and one who looked like those financial industry elites. But, secretly, Yu Xiaoya always thought he was not as responsible as the other winter holiday teacher who had brought them there, Miss Xu.}"Aye aye aye, are you a kid? Only primary school kids play that game. We should all play the murder-mystery boardgame close your eyes when it gets dark instead."

"It's time to wake up." That low and sexy voice of hers sounded in Xiaoya's ears.

_{Xiaoya walked over beside Lu Xiaobei, to sit in the empty spot which remained in the circle everyone formed.

Xiaoya in response glanced to Lu Xiaobei and said, "Oh, I know him. He hosts the school's talent show every year."

_{Yu Xiaoya had read the brochure for the winter camp before, it stated that they (the students) would be taken to closely experience the great outdoors, and to know more about nature.

_{When "match" was declared, everyone stretched their hands out, with palms facing either up or down. Gao Heng looked at the hands, seven had palms facing up (white) and four had them facing down (black), then announced: "White's out, black continue."}

Yu Xiaoya scratched her head, the last two days at her house were spent embroiled in arguments, so she never get the chance to tell her mother she still needed to get her winter holiday homework assignments.

_{"And now, here we have a scene of a pair roommates turning from lovers to foes. Yesterday, they slept under the same roof, but today, they are forced to draw knives against the other. So in this battle, who will be crowned the victor, and who will be the one to suffer the sting defeat?" Gao Heng proclaimed from beside them, "Are you guys ready?!"}The curiosity of the onlookers were all aroused, as when it came to their goddess, there was so much they didn't know. Such as: has she ever been in love? What kind of boy does she like? How may people are there in her family? Or if she grew up pretty, etc.

_{This was her first day living with the campus goddess Lu Xiaobei. Wait... no, that's not right—this was her first day at winter camp!}
After lunch, they went on an outing. Mr. Qi took them from the building for a walk up the mountain located at the back of the town. This mountain had a large meadow, and even a few benches. "Listen up you guys, I don't want you all to wander off too far, alright? This mountain is quite large so if you get lost, I won't be able to find you."

_{Lu Xiaobei replied: "Truth."}
Mr. Qi then urged: "Look after your roommates, and don't go running around wildly.

For some unknown reason, Xiaoya's and Lu Xiaobei's picks always turned out the same. Just now there were five people, but because Xiaoya and Lu Xiaobei both had their palms facing down, the others were all out.

_{All those assignments... they were basically impossible to ever complete.}After Gao Heng's burst of luck got him chosen for five consecutive rounds, he threw down the stick in his hand and grumbled: "I'm not going again, I'll be the referee."

I can't think of a question."}Mr. Qi was around twenty seven to twenty eight years old. He always wore a pair a gold-rimmed glasses, and had fair skin. He was a handsome man, one who always had a graceful air surrounding him, and one who looked like those financial industry elites. But, secretly, Yu Xiaoya always thought he was not as responsible as the other winter holiday teacher who had brought them there, Miss Xu.

Xiaoya walked over beside Lu Xiaobei, to sit in the empty spot which remained in the circle everyone formed. Then that boy who had just invited them, picked up a stick, and struck the grass, asking: "So have you guys figured out what game we're going to play?"

All those assignments... they were basically impossible to ever complete.

_{Before Lu Xiaobei could respond, a boy jumped out from behind her, and said: "Captain, do you want to play together?"}

Before Lu Xiaobei could respond, a boy jumped out from behind her, and said: "Captain, do you want to play together?"

_{"Huh?!" Xiaoya looked at Lu Xiaobei in shock. Even though Lu Xiaobei's nose was high and quite straight, her facial features seemed to be carved, and her skin was very pale to the point it seemed to glow a bit under the sun; she never thought Lu Xiaobei could be mixed.}
"Aye aye aye, are you a kid? Only primary school kids play that game. We should all play the murder-mystery boardgame close your eyes when it gets dark^[2] instead."

In the suitcase packed by her mother, all there was were thick clothing, extra thick clothing, and extra extra thick clothing along with a myriad of snacks, and not one sign of the winter homework assigned to her by her teachers. Yu Xiaoya scratched her head, the last two days at her house were spent embroiled in arguments, so she never get the chance to tell her mother she still needed to get her winter holiday homework assignments.

The handkerchief holder then chooses a person to secretly drop the handkerchief behind, the person who it was dropped by has to then quickly chase the thrower to win, but if the thrower steals the chaser's seat, the chaser has to pay a penalty. It's kinda like duck duck goose. [] Close your eyes when it gets dark [玩天黑请闭眼]: is a detective, murder-mystery boardgame and an online game that requires 8-16 people who are allotted the roles of policemen, killers, or civilians (for basic gameplay, you can have less people). The number of players determines how many cops or killers an be in the game (8-10 players: 2 killers and officers max; 10-14: 3 killers and officers max; 15-16: 4 killers and officers max). A judge is selected and they shuffle and deal the cards which must be kept hidden. After looking at your cards, the judge announces it's dark and everyone stops moving and closes their eyes quietly. The judge then announces for the killers to open their eyes so they can each see their comrades. Then the judge asks the killer to kill, and they quietly agree on a person to kill, the judge notes the person and after telling the killers to close their again, the judge announces to the police to open their eyes. The police then all confirm their companions... Okay, this goes on for a good while but you get the gist.

"Are you alright?" The others were laughing and carrying on, but only Lu Xiaobei noticed Xiaoya seemed a dazed, so she asked the other girl out of concern.

Gao Heng picked up the stick he held, waving it in the centre of the circle, saying, "Hey, quit arguing, already. How about truth or dare? It's not like we have any stuff with us here anyway."

_{Xiaoya already entered a fighting posture, "I'm ready!"}Lu Xiaobei, even though she was very pretty, her foreign ancestry wasn't very obvious, otherwise no one would've not guessed it until now.

Xiaoya already entered a fighting posture, "I'm ready!"

_{{But high-schoolers still needed their winter assignments! Mom, do you have such little faith in me? Don't you care about me?} Sad, Yu Xiaoya cried.}All those assignments... they were basically impossible to ever complete.

But high-schoolers still needed their winter assignments! Mom, do you have such little faith in me? Don't you care about me? Sad, Yu Xiaoya cried.

All those assignments... they were basically impossible to ever complete.

_{"{Hahahaha.}" Gao Heng laughed, "Captain, you and our junior are way too in sync. Every time there's a pair of black or white it's destined to be the two of you."}Yu Xiaoya hurriedly washed up, running to the first floor to grab two buns, before dashing to the self-study class on the third floor of the left building.

"Hahahaha." Gao Heng laughed, "Captain, you and our junior are way too in sync. Every time there's a pair of black or white it's destined to be the two of you."

_{Yu Xiaoya hurriedly washed up, running to the first floor to grab two buns, before dashing to the self-study class on the third floor of the left building.}"Huh?!" Xiaoya looked at Lu Xiaobei in shock. Even though Lu Xiaobei's nose was high and quite straight, her facial features seemed to be carved, and her skin was very pale to the point it seemed to glow a bit under the sun; she never thought Lu Xiaobei could be mixed.

_{Gao Heng then cleared his throat, and then asked a question no one else had thought of, saying, "Captain, are you mixed?"}
Xiaoya regained now her senses, replying, "Yeah, I'm alright. But why does everyone call you captain, though?"

Gao Heng then cleared his throat, and then asked a question no one else had thought of, saying, "Captain, are you mixed?"

_{The third floor of the building was turned into a self-study area, consisting of a dozen or so chairs and desks of varying sizes, with Mr. Qi sitting up at the front as he supervised the students doing their papers.}This was her first day living with the campus goddess Lu Xiaobei. Wait... no, that's not right—this was her first day at winter camp!

The third floor of the building was turned into a self-study area, consisting of a dozen or so chairs and desks of varying sizes, with Mr. Qi sitting up at the front as he supervised the students doing their papers. But one shouldn't look down on a high school teacher's ability to dole out assignments, you know. Because these papers come in all forms, like there were papers issued by their own school, papers issued by the top schools in the same city, papers issued by the top schools in the same province, papers issued by the most notable schools in the country, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera...

_{Lu Xiaobei looked behind her, to see a group of seven or eight boys and girls sitting on the grass in a circle. They were all currently staring at Lu Xiaobei, eyes filled with sparkles as if they were seeing a celebrity.}Yu Xiaoya had read the brochure for the winter camp before, it stated that they (the students) would be taken to closely experience the great outdoors, and to know more about nature. Yu Xiaoya's parents also believed that this meant the instructors would be teaching them about the natural flora and fauna. Which would prevent the only tree their daughter was able to recognise being a willow, and the only flower she's able to recognise being a rose.

Lu Xiaobei replied: "During our high school military training sessions I was chosen by the drillmaster to be captain, and from then on everyone just kept calling me that, so the title kind of just stuck."

Throw the Handkerchief [丢手帕]: this a kid's game played by seating five or more people in a circle and having one person holding a handkerchief encircle everyone from behind while they all sing a song. The handkerchief holder then chooses a person to secretly drop the handkerchief behind, the person who it was dropped by has to then quickly chase the thrower to win, but if the thrower steals the chaser's seat, the chaser has to pay a penalty. It's kinda like duck duck goose. [] Close your eyes when it gets dark [玩天黑请闭眼]: is a detective, murder-mystery boardgame and an online game that requires 8-16 people who are allotted the roles of policemen, killers, or civilians (for basic gameplay, you can have less people). The number of players determines how many cops or killers an be in the game (8-10 players: 2 killers and officers max; 10-14: 3 killers and officers max; 15-16: 4 killers and officers max). A judge is selected and they shuffle and deal the cards which must be kept hidden. After looking at your cards, the judge announces it's dark and everyone stops moving and closes their eyes quietly. The judge then announces for the killers to open their eyes so they can each see their comrades. Then the judge asks the killer to kill, and they quietly agree on a person to kill, the judge notes the person and after telling the killers to close their again, the judge announces to the police to open their eyes.

Xiaoya jaw dropped in admiration, "That's so cool!" The military drill sessions of their high school wasn't separated between boys and girls, so for her to become captain, she would have had to defeat every single person on her team.
