Chapter 470

"Okay, let's meet up with the boss first, but you have to help me a bit, I'm scared."

The Rat tugged at Nan Zhu's sleeve and smiled sheepishly. In times like these, a good brother is truly the most reliable.

.

"The weather is getting worse and worse. It seems we're not having much luck today."

Su Qian walked lightly across the overpass, and smiled helplessly as she looked at the dark clouds that had already formed overhead.

It seems Ning Shuang's day trip around the mountain will have to end early. It would be troublesome if it really rained heavily or something.

That girl must be very disappointed. After all, she had been preparing for this plan for a long time, and now it's going to rain heavily after she's only been out for an hour.

"When I checked the weather forecast yesterday, it didn't show that it would rain today."

Milutin, who was walking behind with his head in his hands, whistled as he looked up at the terrifying, abrupt cliff face above.

She actually wanted to shop around a little longer, but if it rained, there was nothing she could do.

After all, once it rains heavily, the waves below will also be driven by the rain and strong winds to create large waves.

While it might not affect this area halfway up the mountain, the bridge will definitely sway much more than it does now.

Since part of this overpass is made of iron chains and hooks, it's understandable that it would tremble violently in strong winds and waves.

"Hmm, it seems our mountain tour is coming to an end soon."

He Xue smiled slightly, holding Yao Shi's little hand. "Phew... if that's really the case, that would be wonderful..."

Miss Shi Yaoshi is almost at her limit, and who knows what might happen if this continues.

It must be said that Miss Shi Yaoshi is really strong. She was able to persevere for so long in the environment she feared most. Miss Shi Yaoshi has done a great job.

"Tsk, what a downer."

Han Yu puffed out her cheeks and complained unhappily; she had initially planned to have some fun.

It started raining as soon as she came out, and if she's unlucky, she might get soaked to the bone, which is not the outcome she wants.

Whatever, she wasn't particularly interested in this place anyway, she'd just wander around and take a look.

If she had to choose, she would definitely choose a more romantic place like an amusement park or a movie theater.

Instead of choosing this unromantic cliff like Ning Shuang, that brainless milk cow, what's so interesting about this bare cliff?

There was no way to enjoy some alone time with Wu Liang, nor could there be any way to create a sweet atmosphere; this place was incredibly boring.

"Miss Shi Yaoshi, how are you feeling? Shall we get ready to go back now?"

"Anyway, it's going to rain soon, and Teacher Ye's team will be heading back to the venue soon, so why don't we go back and wait for them?"

He Xue tiptoed and whispered in Yao Shi's ear.

Miss Shi Yaoshi hadn't said much since she stepped onto the overpass; she just walked on by herself.

However, judging from Miss Shi's pale face and slightly trembling legs, it was clear that she still had a considerable aversion to this kind of place.

Since the mountain tour can't continue, it's better to let Miss Shi return to the venue to rest as soon as possible.

"Is this alright? Ning Shuang is really looking forward to this trip."

Yao Shi, biting her lip, looked at He Xue beside her with a complicated expression. Just He Xue had guessed, her patience was almost at its limit.

The sound of the waves crashing against the shore below was so clear, and the splashing spray, mixed with the damp air, glided over her skin.

She hadn't looked down once since she stepped onto the overpass; she knew she had a deep-seated fear of the ocean.

"It's okay, look at the weather, it's definitely going to rain, we just can't continue today."

He Xue held Yao Shi's small hand tightly and smiled confidently; she could guarantee that on this point.

So Miss Shi Yaoshi doesn't need to feel too much pressure. Actually, it's already amazing that she was able to come with everyone.

"But..."

"There's no need to force yourself. Let's pack up and get ready to go back."

Wu Liang interrupted Yao Shi before she could say anything. When he saw Yao Shi's pale, sickly face, he gave a bitter smile. Yao Shi was indeed forcing herself again.

Why don't you always discuss it with him? If you're not feeling well, why did you still come along?

Why didn't you tell me you weren't feeling well? Look how weak you are now.

Wu Liang reached out and flicked Yao Shi on the forehead, then gently patted her head.

He knew Yao Shi was worried about him because she cared about him, but there was really no need to force her at a time like this.

If she was feeling unwell, he could have just said so. He would rather Yao Shi rest in her dorm than have her come here and suffer with him.

"I... I'll recover soon..."

Feeling the warmth in Wu Liang's hands, Yao Shi lowered her head and stammered, a rare faint blush rising on her pale cheeks.

As expected, accepting He Xue's advice was the right thing to do. As long as she could stay by the young master's side and receive his care and attention, she would feel extra satisfied.

"If you're going to lie, then at least be a little more serious. You won't even look me in the eye. How can I believe what you're saying?"

Looking at Yao Shi, who suddenly seemed as helpless as a little girl, Wu Liang scratched the back of his head and said with a wry smile.

Even if you wanted to believe such a flawed lie, you couldn't. However, Yao Shi's tendency to blush when she lies is quite cute.

"After all, Miss Shi Yaoshi has absolutely no resistance to you, Wu Liang."

He Xue blinked, then placed Yao Shi's small hand in Wu Liang's hand with a mischievous smile.

It's time to give these two some time alone, since Miss Shi Yaoshi came here today specifically for Wu Liang.

"Hmm, He Xue!"

Yao Shi hurriedly looked up to call out to He Xue, but she found that He Xue had already skipped and jumped out to join Han Yu, while her right hand was tightly held in Wu Liang's hand and could not be pulled away.

"Young... Young Master..."

Completely bewildered by what was happening, Yao Shi stared blankly at Wu Liang beside her, her ears burning red.

What... what's going on? Why is the young master suddenly treating me like this...?

"Why didn't you tell me you have thalassophobia?"

Wu Liang glanced at the group of women in front of him, and finally fixed his gaze on Yao Shi's shocked face.

I really am a terrible owner; I didn't even notice that Yao Shi's recent behavior was quite strange.

If He Xue hadn't recounted Yao Shi's situation to him, he might not have discovered it until the end of his journey.

"I clearly told He Xue not to let the young master know."

Yao Shi also realized that He Xue had told the young master about her situation.

She lowered her head and smiled helplessly. She didn't really want the young master to see her so vulnerable.

"You're being too reckless. What if something happens to you?"

Wu Liang flicked Yao Shi on the forehead again, his calm eyes filled with tenderness.

Yao Shi came here so that she could be by his side; she just wanted to spend more time with him and see him a little longer.

This idiot, if you're afraid of this place, don't force yourself...

"I won't be in any trouble. I may be scared, but I think as long as I stay by the young master's side, there won't be any problems."

"Even if something really happens, I think the young master will definitely protect me, won't he?"

Yao Shi took a deep breath, took two steps forward, leaned close to Wu Liang's chest, and smiled faintly.

It's quite amazing, really. She was just terrified because of her thalassophobia, but now that she's nestled in the young master's arms, she's not scared at all.

Feeling the hot, beating heart inside the young master's chest, she felt a strange sense of security enveloping her.

"Shouldn't you be the one protecting me?"

Wu Liang put his arm around Yao Shi's slender waist and raised an eyebrow. As Combat Maid, shouldn't she be the first to protect her master?

"Young Master, you can see my current state. Shouldn't someone as frail as me be someone you protect?"

Yao Shi gently pushed Wu Liang's Wu Liang away and then placed her hand to his lips in a shushing gesture.

Han Yu and the others are still here. If the young master makes any advances, it will only make them jealous.

When did you learn to joke with others?

Wu Liang tilted his head and looked curiously at Yao Shi, whose complexion had improved a lot. When did she start joking with people?

"I learned it just now when the young master was joking with me."

Yao Shi turned her back and touched the diamond ring on her finger with a sly smile.

"Well, you really are..."

"Han Yu!!!"

Before Wu Liang could finish speaking, Yao Shi suddenly changed, her distorted features becoming even more ferocious in an instant.

Her wide pupils suddenly contracted to needle size, and in an instant, Yao Shi pounced forward like a hunting black panther.

Immediately following was a deafening roar that shook the very ground, engulfing the steep cliff...

Chapter Seventy-Three

The sky suddenly darkened, catching everyone off guard. The sea breeze blowing from afar was even colder and more biting than before.

It was warm and pleasant just a short while ago, but within minutes of the weather changing, the temperature around us plummeted to an extreme low.

The waves crashed against the rocks with a loud roar. Han Yu hugged his arms tightly, rubbed his arms, and frowned in dissatisfaction.

"What exactly is going on? Everything was perfectly normal just now. Why is God acting so strangely out of nowhere?"

Looking up at the rolling black clouds that had gathered in the sky, Han Yu could even see the traces of electric arcs passing through the clouds.

The chilly sea breeze ruffled the stray hairs on her forehead, and her deep purple eyes were filled with intense displeasure.

Just minutes ago, the sun was shining brightly, but in an instant, it was covered by dark clouds. Even if the weather changes, it shouldn't change this quickly, right? Or is this some kind of unique climate change on Bolun Island?

"Wouldn't that thwart Ning Shuang's plans?"

Han Yu looked at the sky, which seemed about to rain, and muttered to herself.

Although she wasn't interested in this so-called mountain tour and was even a little annoyed by it, it was a very rare adventure for Ning Shuang.

Ning Shuang had made ample preparations for her trip here, and even had trouble sleeping the night before due to excessive excitement.

That guy was really enjoying himself; being able to come here to take photos and have fun was probably the happiest thing for Ning Shuang on this trip.

However, they've only just begun when thunder roared and strong winds arose. If they were to stop advancing immediately, Ning Shuang would surely be very disappointed.

"And then there's that sly cat Yao Shi... If you weren't feeling so bad today... I would never have let you have all of Wu Liang to yourself..."

At this point, Han Yu turned her head and looked at Yao Shi, who was snuggling up to Wu Liang and talking to her.

Looking at Yao Shi's blushing cheeks, Han Yu was furious and felt like his home had been stolen.

However, considering that Yao Shi was both physically and mentally weak today, she decided not to make a fuss and would let Wu Liang go for a while.

She was magnanimous and didn't hold a grudge against Yao Shi, who was feeling unwell today, for possessing Wu Liang.

However, once she gets back and Yao Shi's mental state returns to normal, she will definitely not easily forgive the other party for this act of cheating.

"I need to find a chance to be alone with Wu Liang when I get back."

Han Yu glared fiercely at the two who were embracing each other. She couldn't let Yao Shi take advantage of Wu Liang for nothing.

She had to find a chance to take it back, no matter what means she had to use, she had to make sure Wu Liang's attention was on her.

"Alright, Xiao Yu, stop glaring at people like that. Your eyes are practically popping out of their sockets."

"You can see that Miss Shi Yaoshi is not feeling well today, so please give them more time together."

He Xue tugged at Han Yu's sleeve and chuckled. Xiao Yu was just too cute when she got jealous.

Especially when it comes to being jealous of Miss Shi Yaoshi, Xiao Yu truly embodies the possessiveness she has for Wu Liang.
