Chapter 466
This gathering wasn't initiated by him, so even if Nan Zhu asked him, it wouldn't make a difference. He was just an unlucky guy who was dragged here by Han Yu to suffer.
The person who actually initiated the call to action was Han Yu; she probably wanted to discuss the upcoming adventure, which is why she brought everyone together.
"Han Yu, is that you...?"
Nan Zhu glanced at Han Yu, who was enjoying a shaved ice dessert in front of him while sitting in the air-conditioned comfort, his eye twitching. How could he dare to provoke this jinx...?
As if sensing Nan Zhu's resentful gaze, Han Yu, who was whispering something to He Xue, suddenly looked up in their direction.
Han Yu and Nan Zhu locked eyes, a hint of coldness flashing deep within Han Yu's dark purple eyes.
"Shut up and stop causing trouble."
Han Yu stretched out her right hand in front of her neck, making a decapitation gesture. Her rosy lips opened and closed, telling Nan Zhu to stay put.
Don't even think about trying anything funny. If she finds out the Nan Zhu has any objections, don't blame her for being ruthless. (Nan Zhu: I'm just a delicate little flower...)
"Gurgle..."
Upon seeing this, Nan Zhu immediately nodded rapidly, like a chick pecking at rice.
Then, with a long face, he sighed, grabbed the iced coke on the table, and gulped down several mouthfuls.
Forget it, if I can't afford to offend him, can't I at least run away? At worst, I'll just be a tool for Han Yu and the others.
"Hey-hey."
Wu Liang opened his eyes a crack and grinned. Nan Zhu was really completely under Han Yu's thumb.
However, it's not that the Nan Zhu is weak; rather, Han Yu's personality and aura are indeed far superior to those of ordinary girls.
Let alone the Nan Zhu being unable to withstand Han Yu's murderous gaze, even if you asked Wu Liang to do it, he might not be able to handle it.
"Han Yu is very assertive, in some ways even more assertive than Yao Shi."
"That girl has always been a person who dares to speak and act. Most people would be embarrassed in front of her, and I am no exception."
After removing the ice pack from his head, Wu Liang muttered something meaningful.
When he first got to know Han Yu, he was completely overwhelmed by her dark and ruthless aura.
If he hadn't later entered Han Yu's heart, and if his relationship with Han Yu hadn't become increasingly intimate, he probably wouldn't dare to look directly into the other person's aggressive gaze.
"But Wu Liang, aren't you and her very close now? That's your charm, something I'll never learn. I don't think I can get along with Han Yu so easily."
"And it's not just Han Yu. A big part of the reason I'm able to become friends with everyone is because Wu Liang and I are good friends. Thinking about it this way, it seems like I'm actually benefiting from your connections to meet so many outstanding girls. I'm not at a loss at all."
Nan Zhu handed Wu Liang a bottle of iced soda. This was his true feeling; he really wanted to thank Wu Liang.
If it weren't for Wu Liang, he might never have met so many stunningly beautiful young women with amazing figures and unique personalities in his entire life.
Moreover, if he and Wu Liang weren't good friends, even if he encountered these stunningly beautiful women, he definitely wouldn't have any connection with them whatsoever.
He was able to get to know Miss Shi Yaoshi and the others and become friends, all thanks to Wu Liang. He should thank Wu Liang properly.
"Heh... hehe... is that so..."
Listening to Nan Zhu's sincere words, Wu Liang forced a smile, his mind filled with countless "mmp"s he didn't know whether to say or not.
Forget it, there's no point in regretting it now, the plot has already gone completely astray.
It's impossible for him to salvage the situation now, so it's better to just let things take their course.
Although I feel bad for Nan Zhu, the good thing is that he never had any interest in He Xue and the others from the beginning, and only regarded them as classmates and friends.
If the male Nan Zhu has already developed feelings for He Xue and the others—the kind of feelings a male protagonist has for a female lead—and he's already taken He Xue, Su Qian, and the others into his arms, then his behavior as a friend is utterly disgusting...
Thankfully, the only saving grace in this misfortune was that the Nan Zhu didn't develop romantic feelings for any of the female leads, so Nan Zhu wouldn't have any psychological burden.
But the embarrassing thing is that the mental burden on my side has become so heavy that it's almost uncontrollable. I really don't know how this chaotic world will continue to develop.
But none of that matters anymore. As long as we can maintain the status quo, it's good enough that we can all get along well like this.
"I wonder if the Rat's attempt to apologize with thorns on his back was successful; he's been gone for quite a while now."
Nan Zhu glanced at the digital chart on the wall and muttered curiously. Judging from the situation just now, the Rat should have been chased back by now.
Why is there still no sound? Could something have happened to them? Like, were they physically punished by Miao Lian or something?
"Who knows? That guy has always been a bit of a rascal, hasn't he?"
Wu Liang winked at Nan Zhu and pointed to the air-conditioned area, which had been cleared out.
"Ah! Yes, yes!! Cough cough, it's really a headache that the Rat are always like this."
Realizing this, Nan Zhu immediately stood up, grabbed Wu Liang's wrist, and rushed towards the air-conditioned area.
Seizing the initiative is the key to victory! As long as he and Wu Liang can secure that comfortable air-conditioned area, he will not back down an inch even if Han Yu returns!
"Nice!"
Wu Liang gave Nan Zhu a thumbs up for her superhuman reaction.
Well done, Nan Zhu! As long as we can distract everyone here with conversation, then the two of them will be the absolute champions of this air conditioner competition...
"Jacques Armstrong Spiral Magic Uppercut!"
Just as Nan Zhu and Wu Liang were about to reach their destination, a red figure flashed in front of them like a crimson comet streaking across the sky.
Her crimson pupils seemed to burn with flames, and her long, snow-white, delicate legs drew a crescent-shaped trajectory in the air, striking Nan Zhu's abdomen with pinpoint accuracy.
Completely caught off guard, Nan Zhu felt a sudden darkness before his eyes as an unparalleled force was applied to his lower abdomen.
The violent impact sent Nan Zhu flying, and Wu Liang, who had run alongside Nan Zhu, was also knocked to the ground by Nan Zhu, who was flying towards him.
"Nice to you, nice to you!!"
With his strike successful, Milutin raised his right hand in a "good shot" gesture—a masterstroke! A double kill!
But Nan Zhu's body is really light. She was blasted away without even using much force.
"What kind of uppercut is that...?"
Wu Liang, who was pinned down, pushed away Nan Zhu had already fainted, and said with a livid face.
What does this have to do with an uppercut? It's just a side kick! What is Milutin doing?! Isn't she afraid of getting kicked to death by Nan Zhu?
"Milutin, what are you doing? You've kicked Nan Zhu unconscious."
Wu Liang sat on the ground, pointing at the Nan Zhu beside him, foaming at the mouth and with its eyes rolled back.
It's no wonder he fainted; Milutin's flying kick is not something an ordinary person can withstand.
"Ha, Milutin? Who's that? I'm not Milutin! I'm the guardian of this air-conditioned area! Air Conditioner Warrior Number One!"
"The great Lord of Air Conditioning has given me orders that no one is allowed to invade this place until they return!"
Milutin stood there with his hands on his hips, looking menacing, and he even had an eye mask on his face that looked like it came from somewhere.
"You evil heretics, don't even think about tainting this sacred, air-conditioned paradise with your filthy claws. As the guardian of this place, I will absolutely not allow you to act recklessly."
"The command of the Great Lord is with me. The power of the crimson dragon flame contained in my right eye will surely defeat you. Are you ready?"
Milutin reached out and pressed his hand against his right eye, which was covered by an eye patch, striking a pose so awkward it could kill someone with embarrassment, and then smiled confidently.
The holy blood flowing through her veins will surely drive away the demons, so these two demons, who are also imbued with demonic energy, are naturally no match for her.
"..."
Wu Liang stared dumbfounded at Milutin, who had suddenly become so dramatic, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Listening to the other person's ridiculously childish remarks and embarrassing pose, Wu Liang suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and goosebumps started to fall uncontrollably.
"Who... who can save this woman...?"
After staring at Milutin for a few minutes, Wu Liang turned to the group of women around him who were discussing the matter and asked them to treat the patient.
Milutin's gone mad... Can't she be a little more normal...? He's scared...
"Huh? How dare a mere evil demon insult my great war... Ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch!! Yao Shi! Don't pull my ear!! It hurts so much! It hurts so much!!!"
Before Milutin could finish striking what she thought was a very cool pose, Yao Shi grabbed her ear and pulled her aside.
"Young Master, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
While carrying Milutin, Yao Shi bowed and apologized to Wu Liang, then kicked Milutin in the butt, sending her flying into a corner.
This troublesome guy, can't he just stop causing trouble for others at times like this?
"Oh... oh..."
Wu Liang nodded blankly. So Milutin had this chuunibyou (delusional) side... This was a new perspective on Milutin, I guess...
"Wu Liang, we're going to visit the Ring Cliff tomorrow morning. Principal Qiao and Teacher Ye just informed us."
Ning Shuang took a flyer out of her backpack and handed it to Wu Liang.
Actually, she was very interested in this kind of adventurous journey, but she didn't know if Wu Liang would like it.
She liked it, but she still hoped to go out and have fun with Wu Liang. It's always fun to be with someone you like.
"This Ring Cliff is actually on the back of our mountain range. We saw the cliffs over there by the sea when we came to the foot of the mountain by car."
"The cliff it refers to is that place. If you walk straight behind the villa where we are, you can see a huge cliff overlooking the sea. It's quite spectacular."
Seeing Wu Liang's puzzled expression, Su Qian smiled and explained that her group should have already seen the cliff over there.
Even from a distance, you can clearly see that the environment there is extremely rugged. The sound of waves crashing on the shore, combined with the difficult-to-walk glass walkway, makes it a very thrilling experience.
It's less of a sightseeing trip and more of an adventure, as Ning Shuang is quite adept at this type of adventure.
"Really? There's actually a tourist spot like this here."
Wu Liang raised an eyebrow in surprise, his gaze falling on the precipitous cliffs on the flyer.
Walking along a narrow path that only one person can pass at a time around the cliff must be quite thrilling.
After all, below was a deep sea filled with reefs; if someone accidentally fell in, it would be truly the end...
"..."
Yao Shi's eyes dimmed upon hearing this, but she only bit her lip and didn't say anything more.
Chapter 69: Han Yu is very concerned about her chest
"The environment over there is something we never experience in our daily lives. Look closely, that's a real cliff, something we usually only see on TV."
Ning Shuang pointed to the cliffside mountain road on the brochure and said excitedly that she really liked the extremely thrilling and spectacular scenery.
Compared to sunny beaches or the vast Mongolian grasslands teeming with cattle and sheep, this thrilling environment is more appealing to her.
She loves adventure, she really loves it, especially since this kind of nice-looking cliff is definitely the perfect place for sightseeing.
She may have inherited her father's love of mountain climbing, as she sometimes enjoys visiting various cliffs and dangerous peaks when she has free time.
"Ning Shuang, you actually like these things? That's really surprising. This place looks dangerous."
Qiao Xinying leaned closer and looked at the flyers in Ning Shuang.
Hmm... Mom actually chose this kind of place as a tourist attraction... It looks a bit dangerous...
Moreover, she wasn't very good at these things, especially the rugged mountain paths with steep cliffs and uneven terrain. Just seeing them gave her a headache, let alone actually walking them herself.
You should know that she was already exhausted from climbing up the mountain from the foot of it before, and the climbing path here is relatively gentler.
Moreover, she already has a fear of heights, so she might have been so frightened that her legs would have gone weak and she wouldn't have been able to walk when she first stood on that sightseeing bridge.
"I don't think I can go tomorrow. I'm afraid of heights... I definitely can't go..."
"You guys go have fun together, don't worry about me. I'll wait for you to come back and tell me about the thrilling adventures you had on the way."
Qiao Xinying shook her head like a rattle-drum, rejecting Ning Shuang's invitation.
No, she definitely can't do that kind of thing. She has a severe fear of heights. If you put her on a cliff like that, it would scare people to death.
"Oh, really? That's a real shame."
Ning Shuang said with some disappointment after learning that Qiao Xinying had a fear of heights again, saying that she actually wanted to go with everyone.
However, there's nothing that can be done about it; those places are indeed very dangerous, and not everyone is willing to go there for sightseeing.
It's likely that many girls besides Qiao Xinying wouldn't be able to go to such places, since everyone's physical condition is different, and it's something that can't be forced.
"We're back~ Huh? What happened to Classmate Nanzhu? Why is he suddenly asleep on the floor?"
