Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.

The Year 2 students were split to 5 groups. Setting up camp, collect sticks, cooking, food hunting and stocking up water. Everyone was busy, no one was free especially the class presidents. Helping teachers and students out, making sure everything runs smoothly.

Lee Jun Ting checks on Zhou Qin Yang from time to time to see if she needed help. Qin Yang was put in charge of collecting sticks while Lee Jun Ting is in the cooking group. Qin yang and her group members diligently collect the sticks, going into the forest and returning back to the camp repeatedly.

" Qin Yang, there are no more sticks here. Let's go back to the camp. " one of her members look around. Qin Yang frown " There still not enough. Two more groups still didn't have their sticks. "

" What should we do then ? "

Qin Yang look deep into from a far, she was contemplating to go deeper but she was afraid they wouldn't make it back in time before sunset. " One person will follow me. The rest of you go back to the camp and rest up first. "

" Will you be okay, Qin Yang ? " the members were concern about her safety. Qin Yang nods " I will make sure to return before it gets dark. "

The members returns even though they are still a bit worried for her. Qin Yang and her member manage to collect enough and it was time to go back. As the saying goes, the calm before the storm. The worst nightmare had really happened.

While looking for branches, Zhou Qin Yang accidentally stepped on a slippery stone. She screamed, the member who was behind her tried to catch her but missed it by a second. When she slipped and fell down the slope, she hit her head and back hard. When she arrived down the slope, she already lost conscious.

The member drop the sticks in her arm and panicked, she quickly ran all the way back to the camp side. " Help ! Teacher ! Qin Yang fell down the slope ! She is heavily injured. " Before the teachers could react to the situation, Lee Jun Ting already rush into the forest trail with a torchlight. His mind was worried to death when he suddenly heard the news.

" Zhou Qin Yang ! " he called out to look for her. No matter how loud he called, there was no response at all. Lee Jun Ting then found footprints on the damp soil, he hurriedly follow along to it. The prints then stop at a end of a slope, he shone his torchlight towards the bottom of the slope.

His eyes widen when he saw Zhou Qin Yang who was unconscious, her face was pale as a sheet and she was bleeding from her forehead. Lee Jun Ting quickly slide down the slope and run towards her direction. He elevate her head up with his arms " Zhou Qin Yang, are you okay ? "

No answer. He gathers his strength and lift her up carefully bridal style. Lee Jun Ting's mind and heart isn't at ease at all, the person he met few days ago and now he is worried for her. Jun Ting's leg muscles was burning, he run as fast as his feet could take him back to the camp.

The teachers immediately perform emergency treatment for Qin Yang, Lee Jun Ting from the side watch as she receives treatment and prays 'You stupid girl ! You better not die ! ' Because she lost a lot of blood, the teachers contact the hospital. Lee Jun Ting was by her side the whole time even the teachers was surprise Lee Jun Ting could make such an expression. They didn't know he care so much for Zhou Qin Yang.

The ambulance arrived and put her in the back. The teacher who were left behind begin to gossip.

" I thought he had no emotions at all. "

" Right ! I didn't know Qin Yang and him had a close relationship ? "

" Did you call her father and inform him about this ? "

" He didn't pick up. The hospital will contact him again. "
