Because they hadn't gotten off yet, Adam didn't call, but sent a text message.
He was in the last SUV in the front.
Anthea could even imagine the way he looked down to text her but kept his face expressionless while the other instructors looked ahead. He must look so handsome.
"Remember the way up the mountain and memorize some unique buildings."
Anthea replied, "Okay."
Although she didn't know what he meant, she believed that anything her uncle-in-law said was right, so she immediately stopped dozing and sat straight up. Then she turned to look out of the window.
Leonardo, who took the opportunity to play games, was hit by her elbow, and he complained in a mumble.
Anthea ignored him and went on to observe the view along the way.
After the vehicles drove into the mountains, the students gradually understood what the training was about.
This area was full of tourist attractions and was a very safe place. Even if they entered the mountains, there wouldn't be any dangerous beasts roaming around. There were pavilions in every part of the area, and there were safeguards inside. Many villages were also under the mountains.
Instead of standard physical training on the sports ground, the students got off at random spots in the dense woods without being given any direction. The training was to see if they could find their way out within the specific time. It wasn't very tiring, but it would train their ability.
The students were arranged in teams, which were then scattered one by one in different locations.
Anthea's group happened to be the last one. There were about fifty people in her team. When they got off the bus one after another, each of them was given a small water bottle.
After entering the woods, Adam briefly introduced the rules and some dos and don'ts. There was nothing complicated. All they needed to do was to complete the task within the stipulated time and walk out of the woods by themselves. Mobile phones wouldn't be a problem, because they had lost all signals when they drove into the mountain.
After the explanation, Adam got back into his vehicle.
However, when he turned around, he inadvertently glanced at her before he left.
After the SUV disappeared into the distance, only the students were left behind, and everyone was talking. They were usually trained on the playground by following whistling and instructions, but today, they were unexpectedly left in the mountains. They were all confused.
But it wasn't like being trained like a puppet on the sports ground with the sun above their heads. This felt as relaxed as a spring outing.
Everyone was very happy. It was cool under the trees, and the air was fresh. Everyone was so happy that they didn't want to leave.
After enjoying the view for more than half an hour, they still didn't forget their task. After all, there was a time limit. Those who couldn't get out in time would be punished when they got back.
"Oh my god, every direction looks the same. Where should we go?"
"They didn't give us a compass. I don't even know which direction we came from!"
"Where is the exit?"
The students who were sitting and resting on the ground all stood up and began to discuss among themselves.
Anthea stood up and put on her hat again. She pointed somewhere and said, "I seem to remember the pavilion halfway up the mountain. We should have driven past it when we went up. Why don't we look in that direction first?"
As soon as she said that, everyone looked at her in surprise.
"Anthea, you're amazing!"
"I've been busy sleeping all the way. I didn't expect that anyone would remember it!"
Anthea lowered her gaze, and her eyelashes quivered.
Those who didn't know better only thought that she was shy and humble, but Leonardo, who sat next to her on the bus, knew that she was feeling guilty from the praises.
The reason why she remembered the way was that Adam had sent her a text message to remind her on her way here.
