After a while, Xingtian came near the bonfire and asked for everyone"s attention."So, everyone... As we are here together after a long time... I have arranged an exciting game for everyone. And it"s called treasure hunt."
"Yeah..." All exclaimed with joy.
"In the forest, there are 40 packets hidden. Each one has various prizes. Like phones, vouchers or even cash money. There is no limits. One can get as many gifts as he/she wants only of he/she finds them."
"Yeah...."
"But... There is a twist.... You will have to do it in pairs."
"What?"
"Yes... And how will you get one? How about write your names on chits? After all chits are gathered, I will take two chits at a time and they will be the pair. Is it fair?"
n.o.body had any objections. So they went with the idea.
"So my a.s.sistant will supply you chart papers, write your names and give it to her."
--------
"Hey, aren"t you excited to have some lonely time with Mai Yuerui?" Si ying came to tease his friend.
"Lonely time? Yeah, sure! Only if she wants them."
"What happened? You looked upset all the evening."
"Nothing." Xianw.a.n.g didn"t say anything.
"Hey, my friend, you can tell me." Si ying said with friendly care.
"You see... I say that I have feelings for Mai Yuerui. But... Today I realized that I don"t even know her well. So how can I guarantee that I will keeo her happy?"
"Okay. Tell me how many days has it been that you started dating?"
"Umm... Around a week."
"Yes... Only a week. You can"t only rely on detectives to know about someone. If you want to know someone, you have to spend time with her. And this is the change."
Xianw.a.n.g realized what his friend meant and and the weight on his heart lifted a bit.
"Yes. There is still time." He said.
Xianw.a.n.g looked at Yuerui who was also looking at him at the same time with a smile on her face as she handed her paper.
Xianw.a.n.g"s heart melted.
"Yes... I will try my best to win you over." He promised.
-------
After that everyone did as they were told.
As the naming started, pairs started to get formed. Si ying"s prayer was heard as he got paired with Su.
And Xingtian got paired with Kai.
At the end of the naming only four chits were left.
At the beginning, Xingtian found two chits of the yellow color which others didn"t pick. So she thought that it"s her brother"s trick. So she left them for later to announce.
Now she picked up those two chits and opened the first one, then shouted Mai Yuerui"s name clearly.
Then she opened the second one but after seeing the name her excitement turned into a dull expression.
She wanted to change the chit but she had already opened that up. So she had to declare the name unwillingly....
"Han Yefang!"
"....."
Both Xianw.a.n.g and Yuerui looked at each other with surprised expression.
In front of Xianw.a.n.g, Yuerui had to go with Han Yefang while her eyes were still fixed at Xianw.a.n.g.
-----
And the last pair was Xianw.a.n.g and Ning tan.
Before Xianw.a.n.g and Ning tan leave he went to have a talk with his sister.
"What the h.e.l.l just happened, Xingtian? I wrote both my and Yuerui"s name in neon colored paper which n.o.body picked. So how did this happen?"
"I am sorry brother. It was my a.s.sistant." Xingtian apologized.
She explained, "Who would have thought, you and Mai Yuerui would write both of your names which made two chits for both of you. My a.s.sistant saw that and thought it was a mistake so she threw away the extras. And I don"t know how Mr. Han also picked the same color Yuerui picked. So their paper color was same. And I thought it was you. That"s how it all got mixed up."
Xianw.a.n.g couldn"t help but sigh. He came to this workshop so that he could make some memories with Mai Yuerui. But now all his plans have failed.
He had to go with Ning tan with a swollen face.
--------
While Yuerui and Han Yefang went for the treasure hunt both of them didn"t say a word for a while.
Soon it became awkward for both of them.
"You..." Both said in union.
"You say first." Yefang said.
"You don"t have to bother about me. So you can leave." Yuerui said.
About the treasure hunt game, Yefang didn"t have the slightest interest. Even his name was forcefully written by his secretary. He didn"t know his name was added.
At the time of naming partners, when he was about to leave, he heard his name with Yuerui, Yefang became so happy that he didn"t know what to do.
Buy now all his joy vanished when he heard Yuerui. He pressed his lips in disappointment.
"Well... But I also wanna get some prizes." He said as he tucked his hand in his pocket.
"You want?" Yuerui was surprised.
"Well... Yeah."
"Then... Let"s just search for them separately so that we won"t have to share. Whatever one finds will be his/hers." Yuerui said and started to walk using the flashlight.
She stopped before Yefang leaves and said, "Let"s meet here after one hour. We can"t return separately."
Yefang nodded in reply and saw the back of Yuerui vanis.h.i.+ng in the woods.
He doesn"t have any interest on the gifts. He just wanted to spend some time with Yuerui. But since she doesn"t want it all he can do is look at her from afar.
-------
As soon as she left Han Yefang, Yuerui reached for her earphonye and put them on her ears. She turned the music on high volume and started her journey.
As she looked around forest she saw various kinds of things.
She at first tried to look at the trees, branches and even tried to use her hand to dig soil. But she was not that lucky.
After being disheartened Yuerui stomped on her feet and moved on.
"How unlucky you are Mai Yuerui. I am sure Han Yefang is gathering all the treasures. And here I am standing empty handed." She pouted.
Han Yefang was still hiding from her and laughed inwardly to hear her.
He chuckled and moved on as well. Suddenly he stepped on something. He looked at it and found that it was one of the prizes.
He put them in his pocket and resumed to follow her.
