Chapter 457

This is just like those villains in TV dramas or novels, who deliberately kidnap the protagonists and their companions to a deserted and unnoticed place in order to fulfill their evil desires.

The purpose is to do unspeakable things to the protagonist in order to avoid everyone's eyes and ears, so as to satisfy their twisted psychology without being discovered. It is simply a win-win situation.

"Is Principal Qiao doing the same thing as those bad people? Is she plotting something and deliberately tricking us into coming to this godforsaken place?"

The Rat sprang to its feet with a swift motion, stroking its chin and frowning.

That doesn't make sense. Why would Principal Qiao be up to any schemes? Why would he bother playing mind games with us kids?

There's nothing about them that would interest anyone, and besides, a shrewd and capable woman like Principal Qiao wouldn't stoop to such underhanded tactics.

"Oh well, maybe the principal just had a temporary episode, which is why she chose this place."

The Rat, increasingly troubled, shook its head helplessly, then lay down on the lawn and closed its eyes.

He now only hopes to fulfill his one wish, which is to have a good time on the beach before this trip ends.

"That's not necessarily true."

A familiar voice rang in my ears.

Miao Lian held a small twig in her mouth, watching the crowd in the distance with great interest.

He smiled meaningfully, especially after seeing Qiao Ranxin and Qiao Xinying.

"Could it be that Principal Qiao really staged this on purpose?"

The Rat turned to look at Miao Lian beside him, but what he saw made him freeze in place.

Miao Lian styled her long, golden, wavy hair into twin ponytails. Her jade-white neck shone like a swan's, and the hem of her skirt, which was just rolled up to her thighs, revealed the mysterious area between her long, white legs.

"Perhaps."

Noticing the Rat's restless gaze, Miao Lian reached out and pinched the Rat's ear, twisting it hard half a turn.

This bastard was just calling out to foreign girls so enthusiastically... If I don't teach him a lesson, he'll really forget who he is, huh...

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!!"

The Rat sat up, yelping in pain, but its expression softened with doting affection when it looked at Miao Lian's delicate face.

Well, the Western girls on Bolun Island are indeed very beautiful, but no matter how many times I see them, Xiao Lian is still the most beautiful.

"Perhaps this long journey was prepared for them. It's about time to clarify their relationship, after all, it's been dragged on for too long."

Miao Lian twisted the Rat's ears and looked seriously at the group of women gathered around Wu Liang.

It's unclear what the final outcome will be, He Xue will be able to gain Wu Liang's attention.

Whether it's Yao Shi, Milutin, Su Qian, Ning Shuang, Han Yu, or the new transfer student Qiao Xinying, all of them are more outstanding and prettier than He Xue.

Among the girls in that group He Xue was the most unassuming and inconspicuous.

If she's right, these girls will definitely reveal their true feelings during this trip.

The reason why Principal Qiao arranged for everyone to stay in this relatively remote villa, and even brought Miss Milutin and President Su Qian along, was that he did so.

The other party's intention was probably to ensure that these girls would have no regrets and cherish the beautiful memories of their youth.

"Xiao Lian, what did you say?"

The Rat, who hadn't understood Miao Lian's mutterings, tilted its head and waved its hand in front of her twice.

What is Xiao Lian muttering to herself here? Why is it all just words he can't understand?

"Heh, it's nothing. You're still too green. Only girls understand girls better when it comes to this kind of thing."

Miao Lian flicked her ponytail and smiled haughtily, then leaned to one side and lay down on the Rat's lap, poking his nose with a smile on her face.

"Hey? Xiao Lian, what's wrong with you...?"

"Shh, I'm tired. Please be my pillow for a while."

Before the Rat could blush and ask a question, Miao Lian stretched out a finger and pressed it to the other's lips, winking mischievously.

She hopes that Wu Liang and the others can have a happy ending, because she doesn't want to see anyone disappointed or sad.

Those girls were all exceptionally talented, and it would be such a waste to choose only one. Moreover, the girl who was not chosen would be very sad if that were done.

After all, they all loved Wu Liang so wholeheartedly, so if possible...

"Wu Liang, if you're willing to become the emperor, then you'll truly be on the path to a perfect ending."

Miao Lian smiled brightly as she looked at the green shade above her head. Building a harem is something not everyone can do.

However, if it's Wu Liang, he might actually be able to satisfy everyone...

Chapter 54: Under the Same Roof

"Huh? Are the boys' and girls' dorms really that close together? Why is our girls' dorm right next to the boys' dorm?"

The girls were completely confused by Qiao Ranxin's speech and didn't quite understand what it meant.

Why are the dormitories for boys and girls so close together? Shouldn't they be arranged separately?

Wouldn't it be incredibly awkward if the two of them had any contact at night? Especially since girls have some privacy concerns. After all, there are differences between men and women, and it's definitely not a good idea for dorm rooms to be so close together.

"Principal! The dormitories for boys and girls shouldn't be so close together. It's practically like living together!"

"How can we feel at ease with only a wall separating us? What if we bump into each other in our pajamas at night? We girls will be the ones who suffer."

"If a guy sees you naked, it doesn't bother him at all. But we girls feel really embarrassed when something like this happens."

Some pampered young ladies raised their hands, their faces full of anxiety, expressing their worries. After all, they were girls, and even if those boys were their classmates, they couldn't completely trust them.

It's better to be safe than sorry. What if one of those boys has designs on them? That would be the end of them.

How could these delicate and pitiful little lambs possibly resist those big bad wolves? When that time comes, wouldn't they have no choice but to submit to those stinky men's lust and obediently submit?

"That's right, Principal, Teacher Ye, you can't arrange things like this for us! We don't want to be with those stinky men."

"We strongly demand a change of dorms! We cannot accept living in the same corridor as those boys. We should at least be separated."

With the girls taking the lead, more and more girls are getting involved in this topic.

The girls' voices grew louder and louder, and gradually evolved into protests and demands.

Of course, some girls felt that this was not a big problem, since everyone would stay in their own dorm room at night and few people would casually visit each other's rooms.

Besides, it's not a big deal if they go out. You know, they're all wearing fairly conservative nightgowns, so it won't be too embarrassing if they meet. It's not like they're wearing sexy lingerie, so it's not that serious.

"Do you think we want to stay with you? Stop trying to make yourselves look good! Take a good look at yourselves in the mirror!"

"Exactly!! We ignored you before because we were too lazy to argue with you. Don't think that we guys are all pushovers who are easy to bully."

"Come on, I don't even want to look at your barrel waist. Look at the thick layer of powder on your face. I bet if I slapped you, you wouldn't even feel a pang of pain."

The boys, whose anger had been successfully provoked by a small group of girls, fought back fiercely, relentlessly attacking the girls who were so sharp-tongued.

That's incredibly rude! They're classmates, after all. It's outrageous that they spoke so ill of the boy.

They talk as if they're so beautiful, precious, and loved by everyone. They have no shame at all. They really think they're princesses. Disgusting!

"Stop arguing! This is in front of the principal. Look at the way you're behaving!"

"Hey girls over there, keep your voices down and stop yelling. And you bunch of kids, stop making noise too."

Seeing that the conflict between the boys and girls was getting worse, Ye Luotong reprimanded the two who were arguing with a serious expression.

Are these kids three years old or something? Have they never grown up? How can they argue over something like this?

Especially those girls, although I can understand their concerns, what they just said was a bit too much.

How can they lump their classmates and those scumbags in society into the same category? These girls really dare to say anything!

"But the principal... she knew this would cause friction between students... why did she still arrange something like this..."

Ye Luotong rubbed her temples. Principal Qiao couldn't possibly have been unaware of what was about to happen, but she did it anyway.

Why? Principal Qiao certainly could have avoided this, so why did she still insist on separating male and female students...?

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, that's how this villa is designed. It's really a headache."

"This is actually a themed castle, and each dormitory has a unique layout, which is why they are arranged side by side so that guests can enjoy different environments."

"The layout of each room has already been decided, and there is nowhere else for us to live. If we cannot reach an agreement, we will have to find another place."

Qiao Ranxin pressed her temples and murmured as if deep in thought, but the smile on her face did not diminish at all.

Seeing the group of boys and girls bickering made him find it very amusing, and his smile grew even brighter.

Perhaps this is what youth is all about; young boys and girls in their turbulent years always get entangled in all sorts of things.

"However, I'm not sure how long that will take, but I can assure you all that if you give me two more days, I think I should be able to find a place that will satisfy everyone."

"It's a bit of a pity about this arrangement. I originally prepared these rooms to help the relationship between the boys and girls become closer."

"I allow boys and girls to visit each other's rooms, and if both parties are very willing, I don't think it's a problem for men and women to live together, after all, this is the only way to promote relationships."

Qiao Ranxin clapped her hands and looked at the group of teenagers who were stunned by her speech with a smile. Her cherry-pink eyes were full of teasing meaning.

Well, if I say it like that, there shouldn't be any problems, right? The final battle for those children is probably about to begin in this villa.

Don't let me down, Xinying and Yao Shi. I have high hopes for both of you.

This time, I've brought the entire class to pave the way for you. Your love war is about to come to an end.

"I agree."

"Agree."

"Agreed."

"That seems like a good option."

"It's a little embarrassing, but it sounds quite novel, doesn't it?"

"As expected of Principal Qiao..."

"Mom... you really are..."

Without any hesitation, Yao Shi and Han Yu raised their hands almost simultaneously.

This is an opportunity that Qiao Ranxin created for them, and they absolutely must seize this unique opportunity.

"I absolutely must seize this opportunity to live with Wu Liang!"

Chapter 55: Japanese-style Cottage

[After dinner, around 9 PM]

Sitting alone in the guest room, Wu Liang stared blankly at the tatami mat in front of him, his mind momentarily blank.

"This is actually a themed castle, and each dormitory has a unique layout, which is why they are arranged side by side so that guests can enjoy different environments."

Qiao Ranxin's earlier words, like an ethereal voice, lingered deep in Wu Liang's mind, refusing to dissipate.

"Each dormitory room has a different layout. Some have traditional Chinese-style beds, some have long beds like those in Western-style villas, and some have simple and clean bamboo mats like those in Thai style..."

"And the dormitory I was assigned is this kind of single-room Japanese-style tatami room. As expected of you, Qiao Ranxin..."

Wu Liang rubbed his aching temples, and after looking around at the decor and layout, he suddenly felt his stomach start to hurt.

I can't take it anymore. You said you arranged a Japanese-style room for me, and that's fine, I could accept it.

But isn't this room a bit too small? You can imitate, but don't go overboard!

The decor and layout are fine as long as they have that feel, but why make the rooms so small? Are you trying to copy those capsule apartments from Japan?

Why would you include such a small single bedroom in such a large villa, almost like a small castle? Are you trying to save space? Or conserve resources?

Why are other people's dorm bedrooms so big? Big enough to comfortably accommodate five or six people, but his room is just a cramped little room.

"So we're going to sleep together tonight, right?"

Wu Liang exhaled a heavy breath, his eyes twitching as he looked at the two beds on the floor that seemed to be pressed tightly together.

Because of limited room space, and because Wu Liang's dormitory only has one bedroom.

This rather cramped room is only big enough for two people, and the two beds are almost touching without any gaps, making it just like a love nest for couples.
