Over the next few days, Bai Yu returned to her routine of going back and forth between home and work.
Every morning after getting up and having breakfast, we would rest for half an hour, and then Wang Hai and Li Xue would go for a run on the beach.
As before, Bai Yu and Wang Hai chose to run with weights on the beach. Bai Yu trained endurance, Wang Hai trained explosive power, and Li Xue exercised her body.
As for Bai Yue, she started school after the Lantern Festival and is already attending classes at school.
During his days adrift at sea, Bai Yu ate and slept well. The only downside was that the fishing boat was too small, leaving him with insufficient space to exercise and run.
It's already 2016, and Bai Yu and Wang Hai still have competitions this year, the most important one being the National University Games. They are among the track and field athletes sent by Ocean University of China.
Whether they can bring glory to Ocean University of China and achieve good results at the Universiade is not just about the university's honor.
It also concerns Bai Yu and Wang Hai's own honor, graduation bonus points, and whether they can obtain national first-class athlete certification.
Bai Yu and Wang Hai are now second-level athletes. To become a first-level athlete, one needs to participate in national-level sports competitions and achieve good results.
Bai Yu and Wang Hai had the opportunity to obtain this certification before, but after being admitted to Ocean University in advance, they stopped trying to achieve it.
After all, the best treatment a first-level athlete can enjoy is extra points on the college entrance exam. They've already been admitted in advance, so why would they care about that?
However, things are different after you go to university. If you want to participate in some high-level sports competitions, you need to have the corresponding certificates, such as a first-level athlete certificate.
Participating in high-level competitions, especially in the name of the school, can bring honor to the school and boost one's own reputation.
So after going around in circles, Bai Yu also understood one thing: having many certificates doesn't necessarily mean they are useful, but having few certificates definitely means they are useless.
At least in some competitions or job positions, the people required must possess a certain certificate.
Days passed by, and soon Bai Yu and his classmates were due to start school.
On the first day of the third month of the Gregorian calendar, it was the day that Bai Yu and his friends returned to school. Early in the morning, the three of them had already packed their luggage, and Bai's father drove them to the station.
Around noon, they arrived at the gate of Ocean University. Looking at the school they had been away from for more than a month, Bai Yu and the other two were filled with emotion. The most important thing was that their vacation was over!
Overall, Bai Yu had a very fulfilling winter vacation. She went on a trip, went fishing at sea, and did most of the things she was supposed to do. Now it's time for her to get back to school!
Upon returning to school, Bai Yu and her two companions each pushed their own suitcases and headed straight for the cafeteria, eager to sample the food there. They wondered if the chef's skills had declined after more than a month.
After lunch, Bai Yu first took Li Xue to her dormitory, and then went back to the boys' dormitory with Wang Hai.
As soon as the door to their dormitory opened, sure enough, the two of them were the first to arrive. Li Shuang and Lu Sheng hadn't arrived yet, and when they called them, the phone was switched off; they were probably still flying in the sky.
During the winter break, Li Shuang called Bai Yu and the others to ask if they wanted to go to the Inner Mongolian grasslands, which is Lu Sheng's hometown.
Bai Yu was looking for a boat to go fishing at sea at the time, so she didn't go with Li Shuang, and it was fortunate that she didn't go with Li Shuang.
Because Li Shuang went there and couldn't come back, after spending a week in Lu Sheng's hometown, he was preparing to return home from Inner Mongolia when suddenly it snowed heavily in Inner Mongolia for several days, and all flights were grounded.
Only a few high-speed trains and regular trains are still running, but tickets are sold out. So, Li Shuang spent the latter half of her winter break in Inner Mongolia until the end of the break, and then came to school with Lu Sheng. She didn't even need to go home...
Bai Yu and Li Shuang played games in their dorm all afternoon until it was almost dark, before Li Shuang and Lu Sheng finally returned to their dorm.
"Brother Yu, Ah Hai, we haven't seen each other all winter break, have you missed us?"
As soon as they arrived at the dormitory, Li Shuang jumped and skipped behind Bai Hai.
"Hey, you two finally arrived. I thought you weren't coming today. Hurry up and put your luggage away, we're going out for dinner. The boys' dorms are having a get-together today, you two must have heard about it."
When Bai Yu saw that Li Shuang and the other two had arrived, he and Wang Hai surrendered in the game. The game had only lasted for 23 minutes, and the score was already 15:32.
Ueno's score is all negative. If Li Shuang and the others hadn't arrived yet, Bai Yu and Wang Hai would have been prepared to put up a fight. Now that they're here, there's no need for that. They should just surrender and go eat.
“Brother Yu, we’re definitely going. We’ve already paid fifty yuan for the meal, how could we not go?”
"That's right, we'll leave after we pack up. By the way, Brother Yu, I brought you and Ah Hai some things back from Inner Mongolia this time. Look what this is, it's a Hada from Inner Mongolia. Ah Sheng, what's that saying from your place again?"
"The most beautiful hada is for my best friend."
"Yes, yes, that's it. The most beautiful hada is for my best friend. Blue represents the blue sky, and white represents the white clouds. Brother Yu, yours is white, which matches your surname. Ah Hai, yours is blue, and blue also symbolizes the sea!"
Li Shuang took out two hadas from her bag and came up behind Bai Yu and Wang Hai, saying...
"Wow, Shuangzi put a lot of thought into this gift. It even has a symbolic meaning. Not bad at all!"
I remember you were supposed to put the hada on us, right? Ah Hai, get up. Shuangzi brought us a gift. Let's skip the game. Those noobs won't surrender, so let them play by themselves.
Bai Yu and Wang Hai then stood up from their computers and asked Li Shuang to put the hada (ceremonial scarves) around their necks.
Although they are currently in Hainan Province, not on the grasslands, and although Li Shuang is from Guangdong Province, not Inner Mongolia, they both genuinely felt Li Shuang's friendship towards them.
This friendship reached its peak when Li Shuang pulled out a large pile of Inner Mongolian specialties, especially various flavors of beef jerky and milk jerky.
This stuff is really good; it's delicious and nutritious.
After receiving a large amount of local specialties, Bai Yu and his three friends left their dormitory together and went to the dormitory next door, where their class monitor lived.
"Liu Tao, Shuangzi and Asheng are here. Shall we go eat now?"
"Is everyone here? If so, let's go. It's the same food stall on the back street. Those with cars, give some a ride; those without, let's meet at the food stall entrance."
When Bai Yu arrived at the next dormitory room, he spoke to a bespectacled boy who looked refined but was actually a seasoned veteran in the world.
This person is Liu Tao, their class monitor. He is a sunny boy who looks refined but is actually a bit of a brooding flirt!
Although Bai Yu and his friends usually participate in activities in small groups of four, they have a very good relationship with the boys in their class and will participate in almost any activity.
Even if Bai Yu and Wang Hai don't go, Li Shuang and Lu Sheng will still participate. The others are quite understanding of Bai Yu and Wang Hai, since they are on the track and field team and are usually called to training even when they don't have classes.
Overall, the atmosphere in their class was pretty good, and nothing strange happened.
After saying this, Liu Tao sent a message in the class's boys' group chat: "Let's go for the get-together."
Then, the doors of all seven dorm rooms on their floor opened at the same time, and the boys inside walked out one after another.
There were originally eight rooms, but Bai Yu and the others have already left, so there are only seven rooms left.
There aren't many boys living in their class; there are only thirty people in total, and the eight dorm rooms aren't even full, with two beds still available.
Then those with cars rode bikes, and those without walked. Soon, the thirty boys arrived at a food stall.
This food stall wasn't Liu's, which Bai Yu and his friends frequented; it was a different one.
Even though Liu Ji's name includes the words "street food stall," their prices are actually quite high. Bai Yu and his group only have a budget of fifty yuan, so eating at Liu Ji would be a bit too expensive for them.
However, if you switch to a regular street food stall, a budget of 1,500 yuan will allow you to eat very well.
Bai Yu and his group of thirty people split into two tables, with fifteen people at each table. They were served the same dishes. As for the alcohol, since they were all students, one bottle of 8+1 was enough for each person.
During the meal, Bai Yu and his friends gathered in small groups, chatting about their lives during the winter break.
Among them, Bai Yu and Li Shuang had the most fun chatting. Bai Yu talked to Li Shuang about his travel experience in Harbin, while Li Shuang talked to Bai Yu about the heavy snow in Inner Mongolia.
Bai Yu and Li Shuang talked about the big fish they caught at sea, while Li Shuang talked to Bai Yu about riding a horse through the wind and snow on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia.
Bai Yu and Li Shuang talked about their encounter with a monkey fishing boat at sea, while Li Shuang talked to Bai Yu about petting wolf cubs on the grassland.
No matter what Bai Yu and Li Shuang boast about, Li Shuang can always find something else worth mentioning to boast about in return.
Moreover, they all have photographic evidence. Bai Yu has videos of his travels and fishing trips at sea, and Li Shuang has the same.
In addition, he also adopted a wolf cub in Inner Mongolia, a tiny wolf cub, which is currently being raised on Lu Sheng's farm.
Can you imagine raising wolves on a farm, wolves raised alongside cattle and sheep?
Lu Sheng's family farm has more than one wolf; they raise a total of seven wolves of various sizes. In Lu Sheng's words, it's a wolf family, and with them around, other wolf packs won't bother their sheep.
They've practically domesticated the wolves; aside from eating meat every day, they're much less aggressive towards humans.
Around 7 p.m., Bai Yu and the others finished their dinner and then returned to school to attend evening self-study in their classrooms.
Well, quite something. After each of them drank a bottle of 8+1, they went back to the classroom for evening self-study.
