Chapter 450
"Tsk, I don't really like traveling."
Flipping through the brochure, Wu Liang glanced at the informational leaflets about Bolun Island and some related books lying beside him.
I really don't know where Milutin got the idea to get so excited. It was just a trip to a small island, why was he so excited to bring back so many books for reference?
And what does this have to do with me? Why does that girl insist that I watch this useless stuff too?
"If it were the old me, I definitely wouldn't have gone on such a meaningless trip."
Lying sprawled on the bed, Wu Liang grabbed a copy of "Bolun Island Travel Guide: Scenic Atlas" and covered his face with it.
Smelling the fresh scent of books, Wu Liang closed his tired eyelids and murmured softly.
He had already been kept up by Milutin for an entire night reading books about Bolun Island, and he couldn't bear to look at those dazzling picture books anymore.
He'd already seen all sorts of touristy spots—fragrant flower lands, seas of bliss, secluded valleys and cliffs—and if he kept looking, he'd probably throw up his dinner.
"I shouldn't get seasick, given my current physical condition."
With his eyes closed, Wu Liang murmured softly, knowing that he used to be very seasick.
At that time, he couldn't stand the top-heavy, lightheaded feeling on the ship; the floating sensation made him extremely uncomfortable.
However, now that he has arrived in this world and possesses a body far beyond that of ordinary people, almost like a monster, he should no longer be seasick.
"Hmm, I'll take a nap..."
Buzzing
Just as Wu Liang was about to take a short nap, the vibration of his phone dispelled his sleepiness.
Hey! You're probably still awake at this hour, right? I've already gotten off the plane~~
The message that caught my eye was from Mo Qianhuan, who had just gotten off the plane, along with a selfie of her making a peace sign.
Her light blue casual clothes made her look energetic, completely unlike the old-fashioned and gloomy girl Wu Liang had seen when they first met at the academy.
Her usual braided hairstyle in the academy was now tied into a high ponytail, standing elegantly at the back of her head. Her heterochromatic eyes, one gold and one silver, looked unusually beautiful in the afternoon sunlight.
"This girl... she didn't even tell me when she left... If she had told me, I could at least have gone to see her off..."
Looking at Mo Qianhuan's beaming face in the photo, Wu Liang smiled helplessly. This girl really did leave Yanghai City quietly without a word.
She didn't even inform me when she boarded the plane and left; I had originally planned to see her off.
(Why did he leave without a word? Why didn't he tell me so I could go to the airport to see him off...?)
Wu Liang, who had typed out this sentence, suddenly stopped typing and deleted it after a moment of silence.
Now that Mo Qianhuan has already arrived in Athens, there's no need for him to say anything more. She must have her reasons for not telling him.
There's no need to press someone for details they're unwilling to discuss. Since Mo Qianhuan has finally contacted him, he can't spoil Mo Qianhuan fun.
"How are you feeling now that you've just arrived in Athens, the capital of Greece? You look quite happy in the photos."
Wu Liang's fingers flew across the screen. Mo Qianhuan had arrived safely in Athens, and the girl seemed to be adapting well to the environment there, so he had nothing to worry about.
However, Mo Qianhuan is truly a girl who does what she says. She had just talked to me about going to Athens not long ago, and now she's already set foot on that land.
"Wow! This is Greece, hailed as the 'cradle of Western civilization'! And Athens is one of the oldest cities in Europe, even the world. How could I not be excited?"
"Moreover, the history and culture here can be traced back to ancient legends about 'misfortune,' and the reason I came here is to seek the answers I'm looking for."
"Look at those medieval-style buildings behind me, aren't they unique? Oh, if I could, I'd really like you to come and see them too!"
Less than half a minute after Wu Liang sent his last message, Mo Qianhuan replied with a series of messages.
Furthermore, the photos were taken by Mo Qianhuan from various angles, including selfies, but mostly street photos of Athens, Greece.
"Be extra careful when you're out alone, even if you're going out to solve the mystery of 'misfortune,' you'd better pay more attention to yourself."
"No matter what, you're all alone and helpless abroad. If something happens to you, there's no one who can help you."
As Wu Liang scrolled through the photos sent by Mo Qianhuan, his previously somewhat bored mood instantly lifted considerably.
The annoyance I felt from being dragged around by Milutin for an entire night reading a travel brochure vanished.
"If I get into trouble and ask you for help, will you help me?"
Wu Liang was stunned for a moment after seeing the sentence that suddenly popped up on the screen, but then he smiled and shook his head.
"Don't jinx it, you'll be fine."
Wu Liang quickly replied with a message, but after thinking for a moment, he typed out this string of words.
"No matter where you are, I welcome your inquiries whenever you need me."
After Wu Liang typed that message, apart from the message showing as read, he never received a reply from Mo Qianhuan.
Mo Qianhuan has helped him a great deal, so if Mo Qianhuan encounters any trouble in the future, he will naturally do his best to help her.
Athens, Greece
My heart was pounding wildly inside my chest, and a strange sense of peace and happiness was washing over me.
Sitting on the bus, Mo Qianhuan stared at the message displayed on her phone screen with a flushed face, her rosy lips slightly parted...
"That idiot..."
Chapter Forty
The following morning, the Huihuangxing Academy.
"Boss! Good morning!"
The Rat, carrying large and small bags, greeted Wu Liang cheerfully when it saw him in the classroom.
This afternoon we're heading to the world-famous Bolun Island. This is his first time traveling far away with his boss and the others.
It sounds so interesting! I wonder what kind of people will greet them when they get there. I hope it's a group of warm and beautiful foreign ladies!
Moreover, it would be even more exciting if he could be assigned to the same dormitory as his boss after arriving at Bolun Island. He had been wanting to sleep in the same dormitory with his boss for a long time to get to know each other better.
No matter what, he was the boss's underling, and also a close friend recognized by the boss!
However, despite being his best friend, he had never slept in the same bed with his boss, let alone had a long talk with him about the philosophy of life! What a regrettable thing that is!
So this time, he was determined to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! He was determined to share a dorm room with his beloved boss and have a true night of brotherhood!!
What's in your backpack?
Wu Liang waved and gave a brief greeting to the Rat. After seeing the two backpacks slung over its shoulder and the large suitcase carried behind it, he twitched his eyes and muttered something under his breath.
Ye Luotong had previously mentioned that this trip included a huge villa for her group to rest in, and that there was no shortage of daily necessities there.
Normally, they only need to bring some essentials and don't need to prepare too many useless things.
After all, this trip was personally organized by Qiao Ranxin, even though she usually seems very lazy and indolent.
But if she wants to do something seriously, Qiao Ranxin will naturally do her best and arrange everything perfectly without leaving any flaws.
"Let me think, there's food, drinks, toys, sleep, things to use, clothes, accessories, and some of my personal belongings."
"But my personal items aren't exactly a secret, boss. If you want to see them, I can take them out for you to look at right now."
The Rat patted the suitcase next to it and touched its nose somewhat embarrassedly.
Although it's some of the things that might make you feel a little embarrassed, it's absolutely fine if the person you're talking to is your boss.
"Hmm... there's really no need for that..."
Wu Liang, startled by the blush on the Rat's face, took a few steps back and gave an awkward smile.
Since being with Miao Lian, the Rat has really changed a lot. Not only has she become much more confident and cheerful, but her whole image has also undergone a qualitative transformation.
But I don't know if it's just my imagination, but now that the Rat has such a gentle and mild personality, coupled with his cute and innocent face, he really looks more and more like a submissive.
Is this the magic of love? Rat that fall in love really do undergo many incredible changes.
"Wu Liang, didn't you bring any luggage? Although you don't need to bring too much, you can't just leave it unprepared."
He Xue had been listening to Wu Liang's conversation with the Rat, walked over and asked curiously.
This trip will last about two weeks. Even if daily necessities are prepared, Wu Liang should still prepare some changes of clothes.
"Yes, Yao Shi and Milutin have already packed everything I need."
"Besides, this trip is a gift that Principal Qiao has carefully prepared for us, so we don't need to prepare too much."
Wu Liang pointed to the small suitcase next to Yao Shi's seat and smiled faintly.
Even before he got out of bed this morning, Yao Shi and Milutin had already tidied him up.
"Hey~ I'm so envious. With Miss Shi Yaoshi and Miss Milutin taking care of you, Wu Liang, you have it so easy."
He Xue nodded thoughtfully. Miss Shi and Miss Milutin were both maids of Wu Liang.
Because they had spent so much time together as partners, she had almost forgotten about this incident. In fact, Wu Liang's closest people were Miss Shi and Miss Milutin.
"But speaking of which, Wu Liang, do you think Miss Shi and Xiao Yu have been getting quite close lately?"
"I feel like the two of them are getting closer and closer. They seem to be sticking together a lot these past few days."
At this point, He Xue turned her head to look at Yao Shi's seat, where she saw Han Yu sitting sideways at Yao Shi's table with his long legs crossed, seemingly talking about something.
He Xue was initially amazed when she saw this scene, but recently she has noticed that Xiao Yu and Miss Shi have become much closer.
Especially after Miss Shi Yaoshi gave Xiao Yu the earrings as a gift, Xiao Yu and Miss Shi Yaoshi have become very close friends.
"Hey... He Xue, now that you mention it, it really does seem to make sense... Han Yu and Yao Shi seem to get along really well..."
After He Xue's reminder, the Rat also noticed the two girls sitting together chatting.
If this had happened half a month ago, Han Yu and Yao Shi would probably have gotten into a fight if they stayed together.
But now those two are able to get along amicably and communicate calmly, it's like the sun has risen in the west.
"Because they are two people who are quite similar, aren't they?"
Wu Liang chuckled. He had said long ago that Han Yu and Yao Shi were actually somewhat similar women.
If these two people can open up and have a good talk, they will definitely be able to connect.
Judging from their serious expressions, they're probably discussing something very meaningful...
.
"Yao Shi, this won't do. We'll definitely lose."
What's your solution?
"Not for now. After all, this is our weakness, especially against Ning Shuang and Milutin. We have no chance of winning."
"So what should we do?"
"Tsk, we'll have to figure this out slowly; there's no good solution right now."
Han Yu bit her fingertip and stared intently at the notebook in Yao Shi's hand.
It's very difficult, extremely difficult. It will be very difficult for me and Yao Shi to win against Milutin and the others in this duel.
"Milutin, she's very big."
Yao Shi frowned as she looked at the spherical outline drawn on her notebook.
Since Han Yu said it's unlikely they'll win, does that mean they have to admit defeat to Milutin and the others this time...?
"Not necessarily. What if Wu Liang likes the small-breasted type like us? Big breasts don't necessarily mean you'll win, and small breasts don't necessarily mean you'll lose."
Han Yu slapped the data analyzing Milutin's bra size and said with a serious expression.
As long as you choose the right swimsuit, even if your bust size isn't as good as Milutin's, you still have a chance to turn the tables!
