"Hmm, Juejin is right, this plan was just a bit shy of success, but I have a follow-up plan."

Wang Shuai nodded heavily, looking off into the distance where the drifting ended.

"A follow-up plan?"

Zheng Wei and Fan Juejin's eyes lit up simultaneously.

"Brother Wang, what follow-up plan?" Zheng Wei asked curiously.

"The grand barbecue plan, to win a girl's heart, you must first capture her stomach. A few days ago, I specifically learned barbecue skills from a top BBQ restaurant."

A gleam flashed in Wang Shuai's eyes as he spoke.

"To win a girl's heart, you must first capture her stomach? Is that even a saying?" Fan Juejin adjusted his glasses skeptically.

"Brother Wang, you mean to show your skills during the barbecue later on?"

Zheng Wei asked with great interest.

"Yes, exactly, I want Su Qingqing to appreciate my superb barbecue skills, to taste my delicious skewers, and to want more in the future."

Wang Shuai nodded, a hint of confidence in his words.

"Brother Wang, that's a good idea. There probably aren't many students who can barbecue right now. When the time comes, your delicious barbecue will have many fighting over it."

Zheng Wei's eyes lit up as he spoke.

"Haha, of course, I've got the secret recipe from that top barbecue chef."

Wang Shuai laughed out loud.

"Brother Wang, this time it will surely succeed."

Zheng Wei clenched his fist as he spoke.

Just then, a cold breeze blew over the river, and Wang Shuai shivered from the chill, saying, "Wei, Juejin, paddle faster, I'm freezing to death here."

"Alright, Brother Wang, we can change clothes when we get to the end." Zheng Wei replied.

Immediately, Zheng Wei and Fan Juejin started paddling the oars vigorously.

The sun set in the west, casting golden light on the river, causing ripples and waves as numerous rubber boats headed towards the end of the drifting.

"So thrilling..."

"This is the sport of the brave..."

"..."

At the drifting's endpoint, students got off the rubber boats, each cheering excitedly, clearly, this drifting had been an exhilarating experience for them.

"Alright, everyone, your luggage has been transported here. Go change into dry clothes and then meet back here."

Jessica told the students, as water had splashed into the rubber boats during the drift, leaving many students with wet clothes.

Behind them were two tall wooden towers housing changing rooms for males and females.

After changing clothes, the students gathered back on the grass.

Wang Shuai regained his energy and stood excitedly in front of the group.

"Students, next, we'll all carry our luggage along the river valley until we find a suitable spot to set up tents. Once the tents are up, we can start the barbecue."

"I've arranged for someone to bring the barbecue grills and the food is already prepared. Also, there are fish in the river, which you can catch to grill and eat."

Wang Shuai addressed the crowd.

The students were happy to hear this, as they were hungry after playing for so long. Without delay, they picked up their luggage and walked along the river.

After walking another twenty minutes, they chose an open space by the wide river to set up their tents.

"Tiantian, why are you setting up the tent so close to Qin Yang?"

Su Qingqing looked at her girlfriend with exasperation; she and Sun Tiantian shared a two-person tent, meaning they'd be staying together.

"Security, don't you feel safer being near Qin Yang?"

Sun Tiantian blushed and whispered.

"You silly girl, why don't you just have him stay inside too?"

Su Qingqing rolled her eyes and said.

Qin Yang's tent was a few meters away from theirs. Although the girls were whispering, Qin Yang heard them and looked at the tent they were in. Hmm, Su Qingqing's suggestion was good; if he stayed inside too, it would feel safer.

After the tents were set up, night had fallen. On the open ground by the shore, everyone started a large bonfire, which was very bright in the night.

Then, under the arrangement of Feng Shan and Chen He, staff members brought ten outdoor barbecue grills and a cart of charcoal, along with many skewered meats and vegetables and some seasonings.

"Students, there are a total of ten grills here; you can group up a few people and choose your favorite food to barbecue. Those who like fish can also go to the river to catch some now."

Wang Shuai shouted, excitement in his voice as his time to show off was approaching.

Seeing that Wang Shuai had arranged everything well, the students were thrilled and each chose a grill, starting to place food on them, while some boys headed to the river to catch fish.

"Little Yang bro, I'll catch a fish too."

Guo Xiaobin said, joining the boys in the river.

"Alright, go ahead, I'll start the fire."

Qin Yang said with a smile.

Qin Yang, Guo Xiaobin, and Lu Bingyao formed a group. Sun Tiantian and Su Qingqing did not opt to group with Qin Yang but chose to team up with two other girls. Wang Shuai, Fan Juejin, Zheng Wei, and Zheng Wei's somewhat chubby, freckled deskmate Li Hongxia formed a group.

"Good news, Brother Wang, Qin Yang isn't in the same group as Su Qingqing."

Zheng Wei said excitedly.

Wang Shuai glanced over, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth. It's good they weren't together, otherwise, he would really worry about Su Qingqing getting closer to Qin Yang.

"Wei, go catch some fish, Juejin start the fire, I'll get the skewers and seasonings, it's time for Chef Wang to put on a solo show."

Wang Shuai chuckled and instructed.

"What about me?"

Li Hongxia asked.

Originally, Wang Shuai didn't want to include Li Hongxia, but just now, Li Hongxia had been staring at him with starry eyes, asking if she could join his group. Wang Shuai found it hard to refuse and had reluctantly agreed.

This outing, Wang Shuai rented a bus, bought tickets, and even organized so much barbecue, yet he didn't catch Su Qingqing's attention and instead drew in Zheng Wei's freckled deskmate. What is this?

"You just focus on eating."

Wang Shuai thought for a moment and realized there wasn't anything for Li Hongxia to do, so he instructed casually.

"I don't eat much, really."

Li Hongxia timidly glanced at Wang Shuai and said softly.

Hearing this, Wang Shuai almost spat out blood; looking at Li Hongxia's build, considering her saying she doesn't eat much, what does she take him for?

"Then just watch the grill for us."

Wang Shuai replied helplessly and without waiting for Li Hongxia to say more, he turned around and ran to grab the barbecue food.
