Chapter 456

Nothing in this world is more painful than knowing the day you will die but not being able to stop yourself from suffering.

"Young Master, what are your plans for the future? If so, Yao Shi, as your personal maid, will definitely accompany you and leave Yanghai..."

"No, I don't mean I will leave your side or leave Yanghai City. I mean I will truly disappear from this world, and the future of this world will no longer have the character of Wu Liang."

Wu Liang interrupted Yao Shi's response. Yao Shi had misunderstood; he hadn't meant anything about going abroad to develop her career.

It's normal that Yao Shi can't understand it. Who would say such unlucky things if they had nothing better to do than have something wrong with their head?

"Young Master, do you mean... I'll die...?"

Her delicate little hands clenched into fists involuntarily, and the smile on Yao Shi's face vanished in the blink of an eye. The icy chill made Wu Liang shiver involuntarily.

Yao Shi bit her pink lips and stared at Wu Liang with a pale face. She didn't know why the young master would suddenly say such a thing, but the expression he had just shown and the tone of his talk about the world's affairs did not seem like he was joking.

The young master is serious; he is earnestly awaiting her reply...

"Hmm... you can understand it that way too..."

Wu Liang scratched his cheek and smiled somewhat forlornly. To be honest, he really liked Yao Shi.

It wasn't just because she was beautiful, but also because of their long-standing relationship. Moreover, Yao Shi was the only girl who would stay with him no matter what he became.

He was very aware of how much Yao Shi had sacrificed for him, so he was really not used to being suddenly separated from Yao Shi.

Moreover, it wasn't just Yao Shi; Milutin and Han Yu also held a very important place in his heart. It was only with great difficulty that he had managed to get along well with everyone, so it would be a great loss if he died like that.

"Wherever the young master is, Yao Shi will be there. Whether you live or die, Yao Shi will always be your personal maid."

After bowing her head and remaining silent for a long time, Yao Shi took a deep breath and slowly raised her head, pressing her right hand tightly against her chest to soothe her tense heart.

A dazzling silver diamond ring sparkled on the ring finger of her right hand, and Yao Shi responded to Wu Liang's question with her sincerity.

No matter where the young master is, she will definitely go to his side; this was something she had decided the moment she put on the ring.

Now she is not only the young master's personal maid, but also his true lover.

"Yao..."

"Hey! Wu Liang, Yao Shi, come help me pull Xiao Yu and Xin Ying up! They're both about to collapse!"

He Xue, who had climbed up the slope from a distance, was dragging Han Yu with one hand and supporting Qiao Xinying with the other, looking at Yao Shi and Wu Liang with a pained expression.

She really couldn't take it anymore. She regretted dragging these two people up the hill with her; it was too much of a ordeal.

Xiao Yu and Qiao Xinying are practically neck and neck in terms of athletic ability. It took them more than ten minutes to climb this slope. They're exhausted!

"Oh, it's faster than I expected."

After standing up, Wu Liang patted the weeds off his backside and looked at He Xue and the other two. They were really pushing themselves. He had told them they didn't need to rush like this.

But when did Han Yu and Qiao Xinying make up? They were quite hostile towards each other not long ago.

"Young Master, Han Yu has a unique charm, and Miss Qiao seems to get along with her quite well."

Yao Shi smiled faintly as she watched the two bickering. Miss Qiao had found the friends she wanted.

Although Han Yu may appear somewhat fierce on the surface and can be quite cunning at times, she is generally a very cute girl.

"The fact that she can get along with you already proves that she is excellent, doesn't it?"

Wu Liang extended his right hand to Yao Shi. "Alright, it's about time to go pick them up."

As for the inevitable death in the future... let's take it one step at a time... if we die, we die... it's good to be able to enjoy this brief period of happiness at the end of our lives...

Let's focus all our energy on the trip right now. Why dwell on unpleasant things when we're finally on vacation?

He didn't plan to get involved with Nan Zhu's side anymore, since it was too late to interfere now.

Let things take their natural course. Just enjoy the time you have with Yao Shi right now.

Chapter 52: A True Happy Ending

"Hey hey hey hey hey! Why are Miss Milutin, President Su Qian, and Miss Ning Shuang here???"

When He Xue and Wu Liang, who were at the forefront of the group, finally arrived at the so-called villa compound above the cliff, they were exhausted.

He Xue noticed several very familiar figures standing in the front yard of this magnificent villa, which resembled a castle, especially one with dazzling red hair that drew all eyes.

Why? Why are Miss Milutin and President Su Qian from another class here? Shouldn't they be staying at the hotel near the scenic area? Why are they here now...?

"Wow! He Xue, you can actually keep up with Yao Shi and the young master's pace? Looks like you've been training a lot."

"But compared to this, some people look quite pathetic, as if they've even exhausted the strength to stand up."

Milutin, lounging leisurely on the bench, picked up the juice beside him and took a sip with relish.

Stretching lazily and flexing her graceful body, Milutin leaped off the bench and landed to the side.

Turning his head to look at Han Yu and Qiao Xinying, who were slumped on the ground because their legs were too weak to take another step, he was surprised that these two delicate young ladies could keep up with the young master.

Although the young master and Yao Shi must have waited for them for a while, it was still quite surprising that these two girls could go this far.

"These two have quite a strong will."

With a soft chuckle, Han Yu and Qiao Xinying got along; the sun must have risen in the west!

However, this is also a rather unique aspect of Han Yu; the more she initially dislikes someone, the closer she becomes with them later on.

In this respect, He Xue and Yao Shi are the best examples. Han Yu is quite capable.

"Milutin, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

"Having good physical fitness isn't everything. Don't... don't compare ordinary people to monsters like you..."

Han Yu, covered in dust and panting heavily, sat on the ground. He was furious after hearing Milutin's mocking remarks.

She's a student, and she doesn't usually pay attention to physical exercise. How could she possibly be compared to Combat Maid like Milutin?

And if I remember correctly, before Milutin became a maid, she was a mercenary. Who would compare the physical abilities of a student and a mercenary? That's just asking for trouble.

"Haha, I never thought that the two of us would be the ones dragging the team down."

"But I really didn't expect that I could persevere all the way. There were many times when I wanted to give up. If it weren't for you, Han Yu, I probably would have fallen behind long ago."

Qiao Xinying, who was sitting back-to-back with Han Yu and looked disheveled, suddenly laughed.

She never imagined she would be able to follow Wu Liang and the others all the way here; she had hardly rested along the way.

I thought I would give up halfway through, but I managed to pull through thanks to Han Yu's encouragement and motivation.

"My clothes are soaked through, and I'm going to die if I don't take a shower soon."

Qiao Xinying wiped the sticky sweat from her face, looked down at her sweat-soaked clothes, and smiled faintly.

She didn't actually know why she was so happy, but this special experience made her feel very pleasant.

"Xinying, I told you before that you would like it here. How do you feel now?"

Qiao Ranxin, wearing a form-fitting backless evening gown, looked at Qiao Xinying with a beaming smile.

Letting this girl enjoy activities she's never had abroad is a pretty good way to relax.

Moreover, this is the only way to get Xinying to get closer to Wu Liang in a short period of time.

After all, there was no emotional foundation between the two of them; the only thing they could talk about openly was their childhood memories.

As a mother, she had to resort to some underhanded tactics for her daughter's future happiness. Although this was somewhat unfair to Yao Shi and the others, there was no other way.

My daughter is already so far behind; if I don't find some shortcuts, she might really be passed over.

"Su Qian, what are you and Milutin doing here? And how did you two...?"

Wu Liang walked straight to Su Qian, who was brewing tea at the stone table, and gently patted her shoulder.

Su Qian, Milutin, and Ning Shuang's class must not have drawn the lucky draw, so how come these three people are in this villa prepared for them?

"Hmm, would you believe me if I said this is a privilege reserved for the student council president?"

As if she had already guessed that Wu Liang would ask this question, Su Qian picked up a cup of hot tea and handed it to Wu Liang with a sly smile.

Her watery eyes swept over the women present. After hesitating for a moment Su Qian tiptoed and whispered in Wu Liang's ear.

"Actually, the principal brought us here himself. I don't know why the three of us were chosen."

"Perhaps the principal felt that we had a good relationship, or that it was more interesting for everyone to be together, so he made an exception and invited Milutin, Ning Shuang, and me over."

Su Qian placed the hot tea in Wu Liang's hands and winked at him, implying that she would appreciate his guidance in the future.

However, given the current situation, the next two weeks are likely to be quite interesting.

"Ning Shuang, were you also invited? I didn't see you on the way here."

Holding a teacup, Wu Liang turned to look at Ning Shuang, who was sitting in her seat eating snacks.

How come these people don't look tired at all? How did they get up here? Motor vehicles shouldn't be able to get in.

"Hmm? We came by helicopter, what other way is there?"

"Oh, by the way, would you like some of these bear-shaped cookies? They're really delicious."

Ning Shuang was munching on a cookie like a hamster, raised her little head and pointed to the food beside her.

She had been eating snacks for a long time since she arrived here, and she had to admit that the snacks prepared by the principal were really to her liking.

"You guys are really living a leisurely life..."

Wu Liang stared at Ning Shuang silently for a while, then suddenly leaned down and got close to her face.

"Eek! What are you doing?!"

Startled, Ning Shuang panicked and hurriedly tried to get up when she saw Wu Liang's handsome face so close to hers.

But before she could make any move, a strong force pressed down on her shoulder and pushed her back down.

There's something on the corner of your mouth.

Wu Liang reached out and pinched off the cookie crumbs hanging from the corner of Ning Shuang's mouth. After looking at the cookie fragments for a while, he put them in his mouth and tasted them.

"Oh? It tastes really good."

The sweetness of the biscuits, mixed with a touch of unique milky flavor, spread throughout the mouth.

Wu Liang raised an eyebrow, quite surprised; the cookies really did taste good.

"You... you..."

Ning Shuang stared blankly as she touched the crumbs of biscuit at the corner of her mouth, then looked at Wu Liang's mouth, her pretty face filled with shock.

But her shock was quickly replaced by shyness, and her face turned so red it looked like it was about to bleed.

Wu Liang... he really has no self-awareness at all...

Chapter 53: Miao Lian's Foresight

The rest of the group gradually arrived at the villa area at the top of the cliff, and everyone had reached their limit.

As soon as they stepped into the front yard, almost all the students collapsed to the ground, their legs giving way from exhaustion. The long trek had already drained them of all their strength.

This is the only way they can relieve their physical and mental fatigue and try to help their bodies recover from extreme exhaustion.

"Waaaaah... My beach... My big-breasted girls... Gone... All gone..."

The Rat, lying sprawled out on the grass with its eyes closed, murmured as if it wanted to cry but had no tears.

Gone, all gone. His beautiful dream of traveling far away was cruelly ended by Principal Qiao at this moment.

Not only has the beautiful blonde woman left him, but now he can't even see the beach anymore. He can only stay obediently in this villa, which is located in a dangerous area surrounded by mountains and dense forests.

His sunbathing, damn it! He even wanted to chat with those beautiful, enthusiastic, and sexy older women and have a fruit platter together.

But now we've come to this godforsaken and extremely remote mountain cliff. Isn't this just asking for trouble when we're bored?

Although the air here is indeed fresh and invigorating, and this castle-like villa is very luxurious and stylish, this place is just too remote, isn't it?

Did Teacher Ye really win the grand prize instead of a prank punishment? Who would set the grand prize in such a gloomy place?

"What on earth is Principal Qiao thinking...?"

The Rat, looking aggrieved, muttered to itself, wondering why Principal Qiao had arranged for them to come here.
