Chapter Forty-Five

The evening breeze that blew against her face lifted the long hair of the girl in front of her, and the silvery waves of her hair spread out against the deep night sky.

With sparkling eyes, Qiao Xinying reached out and pressed down her long hair, which was being blown about by the wind, as she looked at Wu Liang with a serious expression.

Looking at Wu Liang's face, which showed a strange expression of surprise and confusion, Qiao Xinying suddenly felt a strange sense of pleasure.

It was as if she had rediscovered the feeling of being with Wu Liang when she was a child; his flustered and terrified expression amused her greatly.

When she saw Wu Liang standing there dumbfounded, at a loss for words because of her words, she felt as if she had suddenly returned to decades ago.

Once again, she was transported back to the scene where that arrogant and domineering brat was pinned down by her and begging for mercy, and once again she saw the fear in Wu Liang's face.

This shows that Wu Liang still retains some of his former traits and has not completely become a man she doesn't recognize; there are still familiar aspects of Wu Liang in her.

"This joke isn't funny."

Wu Liang, who was slightly stunned, quickly came to his senses, shrugged simply, and didn't take what Qiao Xinying said to heart.

If nothing unexpected happens, the other person is just teasing him, after all, this girl liked to do that when she was a child.

Qiao Xinying would fall for me? Ha, unless she's lost her mind or someone's bewitched her.

If you want Qiao Xinying to fall in love with Wu Liang according to her own wishes, then it's better to travel to the next life as soon as possible and see the result. Anyway, there's definitely no chance in this life.

"How do you know I'm joking? As a guy, how could you possibly understand what girls are thinking?"

Qiao Xinying hugged her arms and chuckled softly. Thinking about it carefully, this was the first time she had ever had such a relaxed and natural conversation with Wu Liang.

Whether it was when she was a child or when she met Wu Liang a few days ago, she had never spoken to Wu Liang as a friend.

Unexpectedly, such a simple conversation with Wu Liang was quite relaxing, and the atmosphere between the two of us was pleasant and not boring at all.

"Even if we were close when we were young, it was nothing more than your one-sided threats and oppression against me."

"And now it has been a full ten years since we last met. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that we are strangers with only the slightest connection."

"How could you fall for a boy just because you met him once, especially since I used to be such a lecherous playboy who liked to do bad things?"

Wu Liang glanced at Qiao Xinying, who was shivering in the cold wind, and his gaze inadvertently swept over the thin, strappy nightgown she was wearing.

Her delicate nose was slightly red, and the goosebumps on her arms made her shiver and shudder.

Her long, slender legs were pressed tightly together and twisted slightly, as if trying to relieve the chill. Qiao Xinying rubbed her small hands together to warm them up.

"People change, don't they? You've changed very successfully, haven't you?"

She breathed out small puffs of warm air; the temperature at sea level was much lower than Qiao Xinying had imagined.

As night deepened, the autumn sea breeze seeped into her nightgown through her collar, and the icy wind made Qiao Xinying stomp her feet incessantly.

With her arms crossed, Qiao Xinying kept rubbing her hands together, trying to distract herself from the cold.

Now that she had finally found a chance to have a good chat with Wu Liang, she couldn't let the cold cause her to miss this opportunity.

"You are different from me. You shouldn't be bound by this boring marriage. You should go find the life you want."

"As I've said before, I respect your choice. I'm not interested in our engagement, and I'm ready to help you cancel it anytime you want."

Wu Liang instinctively reached into his pocket, but after realizing he had already quit smoking, he could only awkwardly touch his nose.

Seeing Qiao Xinying's face red from the cold due to wearing too little clothing, Wu Liang hesitated for a moment before taking off his coat and throwing it on the girl's head.

"I know you're looking for a fulfilling and interesting life, and I also know you wouldn't like someone as boring as me. So there's no need for you to ruin your future because of the agreement between Wu Xingsheng and Qiao Ranxin. It's not worth it. You should know what I mean."

"Besides, your observation of me should be coming to an end. As you can see, I am no longer the Wu Liang I used to be. You no longer need to confirm whether I am an imposter or not."

Wearing a Sailor Moon T-shirt, Wu Liang walked up to Qiao Xinying and patted her on the shoulder earnestly.

Qiao Xinying likes people who can bring her joy, and her partner has always been a woman who seeks satisfaction and excitement.

In this respect, she's somewhat similar to Qiao Ranxin. Tsk, how can she be so similar to Qiao Ranxin, even though they're not related by blood...?

"It's getting late, I'm going to sleep. You don't need to return the coat, just throw it away when you get back. You don't like anything related to me anyway, do you?"

Wu Liang shrank back and walked towards the stairwell, saying calmly, "It's about time to go back."

Ugh... it's still a bit nauseating... even though the ship is much more stable now... I can still feel a slight swaying sensation while standing on the deck outside the cabin...

I'd better just lie in bed and get some sleep, otherwise I'm afraid I'll throw up again if I stay here any longer...

"I drank too much cola... my stomach feels really uncomfortable..."

Wu Liang clutched his stomach and muttered to himself, "I'll probably be spending another morning in the toilet tomorrow..."

.

"So you do know me pretty well after all, don't you...?"

Taking the coat off her head and holding it in her arms, Qiao Xinying calmly watched Wu Liang disappear at the stairwell.

"Should I say you're perceptive, or should I say you're slow-witted?"

She lowered her head and looked up at the little girl in her arms, pressing her face against Wu Liang's coat to feel the lingering warmth.

Wu Liang clearly saw through his own preferences, but he couldn't see through his own thoughts.

That's right, she does pursue an interesting life and people who can bring her surprises, and she certainly won't fall for boring men.

But hasn't Wu Liang noticed that interesting things are always happening around him, and right now he is a huge source of surprises?

"If I could stay by your side, wouldn't I be able to keep encountering interesting and exciting things, and also enjoy the surprises you bring me?"

A slight smile curved her pink lips. Mom was right; Wu Liang really couldn't be judged by common sense...

Chapter Forty-Six

Two days later, outside the hotel

"I've arrived at Bolun Island, the paradise on earth! Beaches! Beautiful women!! Bikinis!!!"

The Rat, carrying large and small bags, raised his hands and shouted excitedly. His Hawaiian-style floral shirt and baggy shorts gave him quite the traveler's look.

Staring longingly at the tall, hot, and sexy foreign women not far away, a lewd smile appeared on his youthful, doll-like face beneath his bangs.

Just like a few months ago when he was a shifty-eyed, unpopular guy, the Rat now wiped the drool from his mouth and chuckled foolishly.

This tourist destination, hailed as a paradise on earth, is home to stunningly beautiful women from all over the world. This time, he can finally feast his eyes on them to his heart's content.

Hehehe, the principal really knows his tastes. There are so many beautiful women of all kinds that he can't possibly look at them all.

Bolun Island boasts a mild and comfortable environment, coupled with world-class service and layout, making it a popular tourist destination for young, successful, and attractive men and women.

This was a godsend for Rat who loved looking at beautiful women; Principal Qiao Ranxin really knew what she was doing.

"Boss, boss, look over there at that blonde woman in the white dress! Wow, how daring! Foreigners are so open-minded."

The Rat, already somewhat engrossed in watching, stared wide-eyed at the blonde, wavy-haired woman resting in the shade of a tree not far ahead.

Out of habit, he reached out and tugged at Wu Liang's sleeve from behind, the Rat licking its dry lips and grinning slyly.

Wow, foreign women are so open-minded! How can they be so indecent in public?! This lady really needs to wear less clothing!!

While tugging at Wu Liang's sleeve, the Rat slyly scanned the blonde woman's body; her thin, almost transparent white dress was practically as if she wasn't wearing anything at all.

The two black stockings clinging to her chest and vulva could barely conceal her sexy and alluring figure. What's the difference between this and walking around in lingerie?

"Boss, that chick's got a hot body! Look at those Himalaya- like breasts... they're amazing..."

The Rat swallowed hard to relieve its dry throat, and then it thought of those plump, round, juicy peach-shaped buttocks. If you were to slap them, they would bounce back and forth two or three times.

Wow, what a stunning woman! The girls I met at the academy are nowhere near as beautiful as her.

"Hmm, she's pretty hot, but I'm not in the mood to argue with you right now."

Wu Liang glanced at the Rat standing behind him, who was eyeing the beautiful women with a lecherous look on his face, and a cold smile immediately appeared on his lips.

He gave the Rat a sympathetic wink, implying that it should probably tone it down.

"Huh? Boss, what's wrong? Are you still recovering from seasickness...? Huh???"

The Rat tilted its head in confusion as it looked at Wu Liang, who was winking at it. Before it could ask what he was writing, a strange chill suddenly rose from beneath its feet.

Wait, wait a minute, why is the boss in front of him? Wasn't he just chatting with the boss behind him? Then why is he...?

"..."

If the person standing in front of him is the boss, then who is the person he's been pulling at from the beginning?

The Rat twisted its stiff neck, its face pale, and looked at his right hand. The rolled-up sleeves of the women's uniform appeared in its pupils.

The milky white stockings snagged on her thighs, creating a ring of flesh, while beneath the pure black floral mini skirt were a pair of snow-white and alluring long legs.

The biting cold air spread from the soles of my feet throughout my body, and cold sweat instantly soaked my back, with large beads of sweat trickling down my temples.

"You seem to be enjoying this, Liu. It's true that only foreign women's big breasts and curvy butts can attract your attention, right?"

Miao Lian looked kindly at the Rat that had suddenly become listless and unable to get up again, a gentle smile on her beautiful face.

She casually shook off the Rat's grip on her sleeve, and her snow-white little hands clasped together, cracking her knuckles with a popping sound.

"Um... Xiao Lian... I... I can explain..."

The Rat, frightened by the murderous smile on Miao Lian's face, took several steps back and stammered in fear.

His legs were shaking uncontrollably, and he was trembling with fear, like Rat caught by a cat.

"Leave your explanation to the King of Hell."

Miao Lian lifted the hem of her skirt and gave a graceful bow to the Rat, then took out a short wooden stick from the bag she was carrying...

"Where are we staying? It seems that the accommodation that Qiao Ranxin arranged for us is not this hotel."

Ignoring the Rat' screams behind him that sounded like pigs being slaughtered, Wu Liang turned to look at Ye Luotong, who was dressed in casual clothes, beside him.

Our group was only staying at this hotel temporarily, as Qiao Ranxin had mentioned while we were still on the ship that we were supposed to stay in some kind of villa.

He was rather Qiao Ranxin had prepared, since they had a whole class of people on their side, and an ordinary villa couldn't accommodate them.

"We have to wait for Principal Qiao to make arrangements for the rest of the students first, but it is said to be a very nice viewpoint."

"You should thank me for being able to live in this big villa. It's a privilege that only homeroom teachers from all grades and classes can win by drawing lots."

"I'm pretty lucky, aren't I? I've drawn a really nice place for you to stay. You know, there are only five classes in the entire academy that have drawn villas."

Ye Luotong took off the sunglasses perched on her nose and smiled confidently. This draw was arguably the luckiest she had ever had in her life.

Unexpectedly, she actually won the villa living privilege. Students and homeroom teachers from other classes must be extremely envious of her.

"After I arrive at my accommodation today, can I rest? I'm still feeling a bit unwell."

Wu Liang rubbed his still somewhat uncomfortable brow and muttered to himself. Although it had been an hour or two since he disembarked, he was still feeling unwell.

It looks like he can only sleep through it today, otherwise he'll still be listless when he wakes up tomorrow morning.

"I didn't realize you were feeling so unwell. How about we get a room and I'll massage your head?"

Ye Luotong looked at Wu Liang's slightly pale face and touched her forehead to Wu Liang's face with concern.

Hmm, he doesn't have a fever or anything. This kid probably still hasn't recovered from seasickness.

"Teacher Ye, you'd better be mindful of the occasion."

Qiao Xinying suddenly appeared out of nowhere, approached Ye Luotong and Wu Liang with a faint smile.

She had no right to interfere in the relationship between Teacher Ye and Wu Liang, but their intimacy in public was really going too far, especially since they were still teacher and student...

"We had planned everything, but we never expected such a sudden turn of events."
