It didn't take much effort to get a single room, which was pretty good.

After the young girl left, she closed the door and returned to her seat to continue reading. This time, she was facing outstanding students from all over the country, and Shi Jing maintained a humble attitude, eager to learn as much as possible. She couldn't afford to falter at this crucial moment.

There were no activities scheduled for the day of check-in; the summer camp's official announcement wasn't sent out until almost evening.

During the camp period, breakfast is served from 6:00 to 8:00; lunch from 11:00 to 1:00; and dinner from 5:00 to 7:00.

Dinner has been prepared for today. Students can go to the cafeteria to eat at the designated time by presenting their activity card.

All members will gather at the multi-functional auditorium at 8:00 AM tomorrow for formal registration and exchange.

Following the message, Shi Jing found the restaurant and met many other classmates who were also there to eat. She also saw the girl who was supposed to be her roommate.

To be honest, she didn't know the girl's name, but the girl's temper hadn't subsided at all. She was complaining at the cafeteria window about why the cafeteria only served communal meals.

Many students eating in the cafeteria looked at her, seemingly curious as to why this young girl was acting so arrogantly here.

National competition summer camps are considered sacred places by most students, and most people have a special feeling about them.

However, they were just watching. The staff at the central canteen wouldn't indulge the little princess. If she didn't like the food, she could order takeout herself. Students here are not allowed to leave the park before the end of their activities.

Shi Jing got her food and found a seat. She was alone, without any roommates to keep her company, which attracted the attention of the students at the next table.

The next table also had two girls, one with long hair and slightly chubby, and the other tall with short hair and a tomboyish look.

When the two saw that Shi Jing was alone, they greeted her warmly: "Hello, I'm Su Lili from N Province. Where are you from?"

The slightly chubby girl was the first to introduce herself.

"Hello, I'm Shi Jing, from J Province." Shi Jing responded politely when greeted.

"I've heard that J Province is known for its beauties, and it seems to be true." The tall girl said with a smile, "Hello Shi Jing, my name is Wu Yufei, and I'm from K Province."

"Hello."

After greeting him, Su Lili looked at Shi Jing, who was all alone, and asked curiously, "Why are you alone? Aren't you with your roommate?"

The national finals are different from the provincial finals. There are rarely candidates from the same school. Therefore, most students are meeting for the first time today, and naturally most of them choose to go out with their roommates on the first day.

Shi Jing didn't mention the girl from earlier, only explaining, "I live alone and don't know other people very well yet."

"I see." Su Lili nodded to indicate that she understood. "If you don't mind, you can come with us later."

Shi Jing did not refuse their invitation.

After dinner, they planned to go back to their rooms, but they hadn't gone far when they heard a commotion ahead, and they could vaguely make out that one of the voices sounded familiar.

When Shi Jing looked closely, she realized it was the girl who had almost shared a room with her that day.

The boy who argued with the little girl was not very tall, rather thin, wore glasses, and had a very bookish appearance.

"You definitely did it on purpose, you're a thief!"

As Shi Jing approached, he heard the little girl shouting in a shrill voice.

The boy took a small step back, but before he could speak, the girl shrieked again, "You're guilty! Don't even think about running away!"

No, that's not it.

The boy's voice was slightly strained, and he seemed to want to run away.

The little girl held onto the boy's hand tightly, repeatedly shouting that she would tell the teacher. The boy tried to explain, but the little girl wouldn't listen at all.

Shi Jing and the others arrived late, and only vaguely understood that the little girl seemed to have lost something and suspected that the boy had stolen it. But they, who arrived later, did not see the truth at all.

Someone at the scene looked around and suddenly spotted a device flashing a faint red light. They said, "There's a surveillance camera over there. We can report it to the teacher and get the footage."

The boy who was caught nodded repeatedly, as if grasping at a straw.

Some students, fearing they would make a big fuss, went to find the team leader. Soon after, two young men in their late twenties came over.

When they arrived at the scene, they didn't immediately convict anyone. Instead, they asked, "Please don't rush to conclusions. Tell us what happened."

The young woman looked at the girl who appeared to be the victim and asked, "You go first."

The little girl said directly, "He stole my phone when I wasn't looking!"

"I...I didn't," the boy hurriedly protested.

"You're still trying to deny it! If you hadn't stolen it, how would my phone be in your hands!"

The girl then looked at the boy and said, "Tell me what's going on."

"I...I just finished eating, and when I came out I saw...I saw that she dropped something, and I...I picked it up..."

Before the boy could finish speaking, the girl pointed at him imperiously and said, "You can't even speak properly, and you're trying to steal!"

Although the truth of the matter has not yet been clarified, the girl's arrogant demeanor has already made everyone present frown.

The two young men stopped asking questions. The boy, who had been silent until now, looked at the girl and spoke up to stop her, saying, "The matter hasn't been investigated clearly yet, so don't rush to conclusions. Also, please refrain from personal attacks."

"I'm making a personal attack?" The girl, clearly used to being arrogant, remained defiant even as someone tried to stop her. "I can't even say anything about him stealing? I didn't say anything wrong. He's just a stutterer! Pah!"

It has to be said that this young girl knows how to offend people. Not to mention the dislike she received from everyone present, Shi Jing's own impression of her has also plummeted.

Jing knew from their first meeting that this was a young girl with powerful connections, but as long as she didn't harm others, it was fine for her to be a little arrogant. However, constantly stepping on other people's flaws like this really touched a nerve with Jing.

Clearly, Shi Jing was not the only one with this idea.

The young man said directly, "You two come with us to the surveillance room. If he stole something, we'll call the police. But if he didn't, you should apologize to him immediately."

The boy's face was slightly pale, but he wasn't afraid to watch the surveillance footage. His eyes were red, which clearly showed that he felt wronged.

The girl snorted and ignored the two who came to mediate, striding forward.

The onlookers were also curious about what had happened, and most of them followed to see what was going on. Shi Jing, Su Lili, and the other two also walked forward with the crowd.
