Chapter 431

Unexpectedly, even the perfect maid Yao Shi has things she's not good at. Hmm... maybe he should just find an opportunity to teach Yao Shi how to swim?

Volume 6: The Whole School's Excursion - Sincere Hearts Bloom One by One

Chapter One: The Long Journey Plan

'Rooftop'

"Hey hey hey hey! We're going on a long trip this week???"

Upon hearing Qiao Ranxin's sudden mention of the travel plan Ye Luotong exclaimed in alarm, "Wasn't it supposed to be next month at the earliest? Why did the principal suddenly bring forward this travel activity so much?"

She wasn't prepared at all; it seemed too rushed to suddenly suggest a trip together.

This was a major event affecting the entire school. Even though the teachers were somewhat prepared, it was still quite a surprise for the students...

"Teacher Ye, you were also a student. Do you really think those children would give up traveling far away just because they weren't well prepared?"

"In fact, the children won't care at all about whether they are well prepared. I think they will be very much looking forward to this trip."

Qiao Ranxin, who hadn't worn a suit for a long time, leaned against the railing and smiled faintly, the gentle breeze blowing in her face lifting her long hair.

Well, Qiao Ranxin can be described as the most alluring beauty. Just by casually leaning against something, she can attract the attention of others at all times.

The apricot-white blazer, which already had a slimming and waist-cinching effect, perfectly outlined Qiao Ranxin's curvaceous figure.

Even Ye Luotong, who is also a woman, couldn't help but be attracted by the other woman's sexy and hot figure, and felt amazed and envious.

But she seemed to be deep in thought. Qiao Ranxin reached out and pressed down her long hair that was being blown by the wind, her silver-pink eyes gazing at the distant sky.

It seems the college has never organized such a large-scale event as a field trip. It's not a bad thing to let the students go out and relax.

A large number of the students at the Huihuangxing Academy are pampered young ladies and gentlemen. Letting them go out and get some proper training would be more suitable for their growth.

Moreover, the academy has hardly ever held any large-scale events in all these years, which makes Qiao Ranxin feel a little embarrassed.

After all, other colleges hold interesting activities from time to time, but this prestigious college, which is one of the top in Yanghai City and even the whole country, is lifeless all year round. This is not only bad to talk about, but it is also somewhat irresponsible to the students in the college.

After all, the main reason why Huihuangxing Academy never holds such events is because the principal is too lazy. If we really want to find out the reason, Qiao Ranxin might have to bow and apologize.

"Principal, you're not wrong. Young people are always full of curiosity and impulsiveness about the unknown."

"Besides, I don't think any student would dislike something like traveling far away. When I was a student, I really looked forward to activities like traveling far away."

Ye Luotong smiled somewhat embarrassedly as she spoke, and reached out to tuck a stray hair behind her ear.

As if recalling her student days, a hint of nostalgia flickered deep in her beautiful eyes.

The principal's thinking is not entirely unreasonable; the students will naturally be very much looking forward to this trip, that's for sure.

She just couldn't understand why someone as meticulous as Principal Qiao would change the plans so easily, when going on the trip next month would have been perfectly fine...

"Teacher Ye, I know you're curious why I suddenly changed the time. Actually, there's a little selfish reason behind it."

"Because of some unexpected situations that have recently occurred here, I have to move up the time so that the two little ones can have a good chat and clear up any misunderstandings."

Qiao Ranxin turned around, leaned against the railing, and stretched her languidly, yawning to relax her graceful body.

She tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and felt the cool morning breeze on her face. Qiao Ranxin smiled with a captivating and gentle smile.

"A little selfish motive? Those two little ones??"

Ye Luotong gazed at Qiao Ranxin's perfect profile and said curiously, "A person who can make the principal care so much is naturally no ordinary person."

Moreover, judging from the principal's interested expression, it seems that Principal Qiao thinks quite highly of those two people?

"Well... how should I put it... this is my personal matter... Teacher Ye, you should take care of your own affairs first..."

"Although I really like you, Teacher Ye, I have to give you a heads-up. I can ignore things outside of school, but you'll have to be a little more careful inside the academy."

Qiao Ranxin opened her eyes and squinted them into thin slits, looking at Ye Luotong's beautiful face with great interest.

She didn't care how things were developing between the other party and Wu Liang, but no matter what, Ye Luotong was still a teacher in the academy.

Regardless of how exciting their relationship may be outside the academy, it's best for them to be mindful of their roles as teacher and student within the academy.

After all, this is a place for teaching and nurturing students. If other students and teachers find out that Wu Liang and Ye Luotong have an ambiguous teacher-student relationship, it will inevitably have some impact.

Although she could suppress the news as the principal, with so many people talking, it was impossible for her to completely block its spread.

So whether it's for Wu Liang's sake or for Teacher Ye Luotong's sake, the two of them should be careful not to act too intimately or ambiguously in the academy.

"Principal? What, what are you saying?"

Ye Luotong didn't understand Qiao Ranxin's seemingly cryptic advice; she didn't quite grasp what the other person had said before.

What do you mean by "she should pay attention"? Is there anything she hasn't done well enough at the academy?

"Um... it's nothing... just think of it as me talking to myself..."

Seeing that Ye Luotong was unaware, Qiao Ranxin smiled helplessly. Teacher Ye's ability in this aspect of work was indeed perfect and impeccable.

But why does she seem so naive and innocent when it comes to her own feelings? She's like a naive young girl who hasn't yet figured things out.

This girl clearly likes Wu Liang very much, so why doesn't she take this matter seriously?

"Hmm... but thinking about it more carefully... isn't Qiao Xinying becoming increasingly dangerous...?"

Suddenly remembering the strained relationship between Qiao Xinying and Wu Liang, Qiao Ranxin's face fell, and she complained with regret in her eyes.

The revolution is not yet complete, comrades still need to work hard, and the test that awaits Qiao Xinying is truly not small.

It seems she needs to implement the school-wide field trip plan soon, otherwise it will be too late and Qiao Xinying might not even be eligible to enter.

"Alright, Teacher Ye, we've pretty much finished talking. Let's go back now."

Qiao Ranxin reached out and patted Ye Luotong's shoulder with a faint smile.

The whole school is going on a field trip; Wu Liang and those adorable kids might just create some really exciting sparks this time...

Chapter Two: Yao Shi's Gift

What is this?

Somewhat surprised, Han Yu slowly took the exquisitely packaged little box from Yao Shi's hand.

Upon opening, I found a pair of exquisitely crafted, beautifully designed Black Star Earrings.

What is this thing? Why would Yao Shi suddenly give me such a flashy but impractical gadget?

"A return gift."

Yao Shi didn't say much to Han Yu, she just pointed to her own chest.

Hidden beneath the high collar of the school uniform was a string of light blue dolphin pendants, a gift Han Yu had given "her" not long ago when they went to the aquarium together.

Although she didn't particularly like places with water, and especially disliked the deep sea, she felt obligated to reciprocate since it was a gift Han Yu had sincerely given to "her."

Even though her relationship with Han Yu isn't very good right now, she is indeed wearing a token of Han Yu's affection around her neck.

"Why are the stars black? They're pitch black."

Han Yu picked up a corner of the pendant with a look of disgust and examined it closely.

As if she was very dissatisfied with Yao Shi's gift, she muttered under her breath that it wasn't good while shaking her head and sighing.

But the joy that rose deep in her eyes and the fleeting glimmer of light already betrayed her inner happiness and delight.

She was simply unwilling to acknowledge the gift Yao Shi gave her because of her pride, which is why she outwardly showed such disdain.

Overall, Han Yu is very happy right now. She is especially delighted to receive the gift that Yao Shi personally chose for her.

Even Han Yu herself didn't know why she felt so excited. It was just a gift from the other party, so why was she so happy?

She clearly disliked the expressionless maid in front of her, clearly considered her the biggest rival in love, and clearly wished the maid would get away from Wu Liang as soon as possible.

But after actually receiving Yao Shi's gift, this overwhelming joy almost filled her heart.

"You could at least pick a prettier pendant! What on earth is this black star?"

"Where did the black stars in the night sky come from? At least pick a nice one for me."

Han Yu held the Black Star Earrings in her hand and extended it to Yao Shi.

It's really strange that this emotionless maid would give her a gift, and Wu Liang said that Yao Shi had personally selected the gift for a long time.

What on earth was going on in that person's head? Why would they send her something like this for no reason...?

"Huh? Aren't these really pretty earrings? Han Yu, don't you like them?"

"If you don't want it, can you give it to me? I think it would look pretty good on Xiaolian too."

The Rat, its eyes shining as it looked at the earrings, spoke with a grin. Seeing Han Yu's disgusted and even somewhat unwilling expression, it reached out and touched the earrings in Han Yu's palm.

This is, after all, a kind gesture from Yao Shi. Since Han Yu is so dissatisfied, let him accept it on Han Yu's behalf.

These are clearly a very beautiful pair of earrings. It would be such a waste if no one wanted them. It would be better for him to give them to Xiao Lian as a gift...

Whoosh!

The Rat only felt a black shadow flash past its eyes, and Han Yu, with her palm outstretched, swiftly withdrew her small hand that was holding the earring.

As if protecting some precious treasure, Han Yu gripped the earring tightly to her chest and looked at the Rat with a wary expression.

"Rat, you don't want your right hand anymore, do you?"

Han Yu held the earring Yao Shi had given her in front of her, her face ashen as she stared at the Rat, her deep purple eyes filled with rage.

That stinky Rat actually tried to take the earrings directly from her hand. He's really gotten too bold, like he's taken too much Rat poison.

If she hadn't retrieved it quickly, the Rat might have actually stolen it. That audacious bastard looks like he deserves another beating after ignoring him for a few days...

"Ah... no... this... isn't this the one Han Yu described as all black and pitch black...?"

Sensing the anger emanating from Han Yu, the Rat's previously innocent and naive face turned pale instantly.

Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and a sense of foreboding crept into his heart.

What... what's going on... why did Han Yu suddenly get angry at him... and even give him that terrifying look that seemed like she wanted to devour him...?

Why is this happening? Wasn't it because Han Yu doesn't like him that he attacked him? Why is Han Yu suddenly acting like a fierce lion guarding its food? Waaaaaah o (╥╥) o

"Even if I say it's dark-skinned, I didn't say I don't like it."

"This was given to me by Yao Shi. How dare you take it? Even if I don't like it, it's still mine. How I treat it is my freedom, and it's none of your business."

"Besides... besides, I actually quite like this thing..."

Han Yu scolded the Rat with a dark expression, but her voice trailed off as she spoke.

Especially when she spoke the last sentence, her voice was so faint, barely audible, that only she herself could probably hear it.

"Well, Xiao Yu actually really likes these earrings."

He Xue smiled as she held the bracelet Yao Shi had given her.

Just as expected, the relationship between Xiao Yu and Miss Shi Yaoshi is getting better and better.

It seems she was right after all; these two people are not only similar in some ways, but they can also become good friends.

"Qingshu, you're so stupid. Go home tonight and kneel on a washboard to reflect on your actions."

"And even if you want to give me a gift, you can't use the things that Miss Shi Yaoshi gave to Han Yu. Can't you take me to buy them yourself?"

"Besides, Miss Shi has already given me a gift. You clueless brat, go stand in the corner for three minutes."

Miao Lian, standing behind with her arms crossed, delivered a sharp chop to the Rat's head, saying with a helpless expression.

How could my idiot boyfriend be so clueless? Have you ever seen a girl with a cunning and arrogant personality be happy to receive a gift from her former nemesis?

Even Xiao Lian, you say that about me...

When the Rat saw Miao Lian lecturing him like this, his face immediately fell. He had just thought it was a pity that Han Yu didn't want the gift, so he wanted to give it to Xiao Lian.

Damn it, that tsundere attitude is so annoying! How did he know Han Yu was being sarcastic?!

"Anyway, thank you... I quite like this gift..."

Han Yu, who had walked alone in front of Yao Shi, turned her head to the side and muttered softly.
