"Tomorrow we will gather at the convenience store downstairs at the church at 8:00 am!It is expected to leave at 8:30 am, everyone, remember to grasp the time."
The 4th Pioneer Discipleship Training Camp was in full swing on the first day of the summer vacation. Since there will only be one session per year, the rental and holding costs of the venue are quite high.
This year, it will be held in the gymnasium and auditorium of one of the universities in Taipei. In addition, this university will cooperate with the Taipei City Government and major sports associations to hold the volleyball match that Taiwan has finally won the right to host the World University Games.
The venue, this year's conference has become even more lively. Prior to this, the Erling Gospel Church has long had a youth fellowship consultant as co-workers in the training camp. Taking advantage of the opportunity to easily obtain registration information, since the first term, a total of 47 members of the fellowship have eighty-eight percent joined the training camp almost every year.
This time it was similar, except that there was one more freshman on the registration list. It was Yu Ruoling, one of the leading pianists of the Arise Youth Worship Band who didn't participate last year - too lazy to participate and the registration fee was a bit expensive.
So why the sudden interest this year?
If you asked her on the day of the registration deadline a month ago, she would tell you categorically -
- "Because I want it."
Perfectly inherited Yu Xiaoyu's action style of walking-going.
The disciple training camp was chosen to start on the first day of the summer vacation, probably in consideration of the preparations and site surveys by many staff members before the athletes from all over the world will practice and prepare for the upcoming sports competitions.
After all, as a world-class venue, specifications and maintenance must not be ignored. Since Kaohsiung City won the right to host the World Games in 2009, Taiwan has never held such a large-scale sports competition. Not only the netizens on the Internet cheered excitedly(of course, there are also strange and incomprehensible objections), along with advertisers are excited.
「On August 19, let's go home and make honors.」
While checking the luggage for the last time, Loli Shorty - this is Yu Ruoling's 890645th new nickname - turned on the TV to amuse herself with the news.
Her aunt and grandma both went to Taoyuan tonight, and she was suddenly left alone in the huge house, but she thought she liked this feeling. Or just get used to it.
She was more relaxed in the inanimate environment when there were no creatures, perhaps because she was used to being pressed in the crowd.
She walked up to her own room on the third floor, turned on the light and closed the door, then lay heavily on the pillow, and mechanically pulled the quilt over her head, as if she had practiced it hundreds of times.
She has indeed done this action hundreds of times.
Blinded in the quilt, Yu Ruoling subconsciously remembered the frequent visions she had seen in recent months. Although she currently has a fixed time for spiritual connection with Him, but...it seems that she hasn't had a deep conversation with Father God for a long, long time.
She is very narcissistic and feels that she is different. Among human beings, she is clearly different.
'I can't tell what kind of feeling it is, it's probably a unique perception ability of a different kind. 'She opened the corner of the quilt slightly to circulate the oxygen, closed her eyes and spoke in a low voice.
She often did this, so that the tone of her voice was gradually no longer as high-pitched as that of girls of the same age, but instead became much lower, and her retroflex sound became clearer.
In fact, Yu Ruoling's original voice was lower than that of ordinary girls. In the silent space at this moment, her voice was inexplicably full of despair and sadness, more desolate, or helpless.

'I know you...can hear me, Fong, and you can answer my words, but even if you respond, I can't hear you. I can only feel your presence a little when leading the exchange. ...By the way, if one day you disappear, ...will I know?'
...Wait, why did she sound like a lily when she said these kind of sad words...
The melody of Line's phone ringing suddenly sounded, which was particularly harsh in the empty room. She sat up and lowered her eyes halfway, and when she saw who it was, she couldn't help but want to look up to the sky and sigh.
Shao Xu'an.
"Hey, you're here!It's so rare for you to answer the phone."Shao said.
"..."Is she Wanying?That cute, foolish and sweet barbie who never answers the phone by chance, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Shao Xu'an was stunned for a moment, the little lunatic's voice was so magnetic today, he was a little surprised, "Can't I just chat with you?Do I look like a bad guy?"
"Can, like."
"..."He almost has a desire to punch her, and then he keenly sensed that something was wrong, "Are you alright?"
"…Yes."
Can you not pause for so long when answering him!The flaw is so big, did you, did you, did you, did you do it on purpose!!
Shao Xu'an's heart, which was almost in a sudden stop due to anger, started beating again. As a gentleman who looked like a brother and a friend, his eyes were dead, and he couldn't die anymore.
"Don't lie, Rouly, you know me."
"...What the fu... "Her hand trembled and almost threw the rose-gold mobile phone against the wall, tooking a long time to recover her still slightly deep voice tremblingly, "what the hell did you call me again?"
“Rouly. Don't you like it?"He paused, "I want to call, or hit me."
You freaking bad boy, with a figurative angry hash mark on Yu Ruoling's forehead, she wished she could punch that face that must be smiling, "...You can do whatever you want, talk to me about whatever you want.”
"That what I'm going to do, pal. What's the matter with you?There's still your voice... wha...wait. "Shao Xu'an suddenly yelled in horror, "You... Are you...Yu Ruoling?"
Yu Ruoling sighed deeply, suddenly felt that there was nothing to love in this world.
"I am, the real thing, the main body. And why I picked up the matter is just because I..."
The voice of gnashing of teeth stopped abruptly.
Yu Ruoling couldn't continue talking at all, and raised and lowered the hand holding the phone several times, trying to cut off the communication altogether, but found that she couldn't bear to part with the damn thing on the other side of the screen, which happened to come when she needed...warmth... …Like a sea churning under a storm, a piece of wood suddenly appears in the sight of surprise, even greed, and then reluctant to let go, not wanting to lose the life-saving object that can continue to live.
"Huh?"
"...Well."
"Rouly, you...”
"If - purely hypothetical - "She interrupted him abruptly, rubbing her left thumb and index finger unconsciously. This is a small movement that one can only see when she is thinking about forgetting herself, "when do you think I will gone?"
"…What?Are you kiddi..."Shao Xu'an's black eyes magnified, and despite being still on the street, he stopped all his actions in astonishment, and was nailed to the ground like a wooden stake.
Unspeakable strange emotions exploded from the bottom of his heart in an instant.
Stunned, angry, surprised, inexplicable, distressed, ...and at a loss.
The cell phone still leaning against his ear, the girl who always faces everyone with the same expression, the girl who handles the vagaries of the world with ease, the girl whose emotions are quite extreme -
- She Laughed.
Very, very, lightly.
On the other end where he couldn't see, a laugh broke out.
He listened to her vaguely crying laughter in a daze, feeling at a loss for the first time in his life. Shao had seen that little lunatic like his own sister go crazy, depressed, and happy, but he had never felt so suffocated by Yu Ruoling at this moment.
It seemed that the slightly heated screen of the mobile phone penetrated straight into the hell years he had experienced, and then burst into a violent roar like a gunpowder explosion.
Shao Xu'an only felt sore eyes, and the nausea stuck in his throat wanted to make him cough, the two of them were very similar.
Really, it used to be a lot like that.
"Don't...”
"It's you, don't. "Yu Ruoling reached out to turn off the fluorescent lamp, with her left arm half-curled and pressed on her forehead, part of her black hair was dramatically scattered on chest, "Shut up, I'm going to sleep, wait until I fall asleep before you cut it."

Jee...sus.
A group of people formed a circle, staring at the bag of objects in the middle of the circle with a tacit understanding and a ferocious expression.
Although grateful, they have been eating bento for almost a week. From the first few days of dining time, before entering the gymnasium that is temporarily used as a restaurant, just smelling the familiar aroma of fried chicken is enough to whet the appetite of these young people until now.
Thinking of "waiting for a bento" will inexplicably feel the illusion that something is expanding in the stomach, and then... Then it's full.
One serving for two persons - under the current situation that three people can hardly finish one serving, hundreds of girls decided to put the certain and indigestible part into the stomachs of the remaining hundreds of boys.
Anyway, they have big stomachs, which help them grow taller by the way. The girls who suddenly have a sense of framing others to become fat silently hypnotize themselves.
Looking at the specially enlarged box of fried chicken bento - for fear that they would not be full - Yu Ruoling really wanted to hiccup.
