Meng Hongchen hugged his hand, then gently punched his chest with her other hand, her face flushed, and said, "You always lie to me."
"What if it were true? Would you marry me?"
Cao Yu grasped her hand, then looked down at her intently. Meng Hongchen's heart was pounding so hard she couldn't speak.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Let's go get ready first, bring some food and supplies." He ruffled her hair, and Meng Hongchen could only shyly let him pull her forward.
Half an hour later, led by Dean of Students Lin Jiayi, everyone left the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy aboard their Flying Soul Tool.
Their destination was a well-known Linhai Beach in the Sun Moon Empire.
It takes about an hour to get there from Mingdu.
Due to a significant shortage of high-level Soul Engineer at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, only about sixty senior students attended this time.
A few individuals were absent due to being engrossed in their research.
Dean of Students Lin Jiayi had already begun giving instructions. "For your accommodation and meals, the college has rented the entire Linhai Grand Hotel. Each of you can come to me to collect your room keys."
"You can have fun these next few days, but don't go anywhere else on your own. If anything happens, remember to tell your teacher, okay?"
The sixty-odd trainees behind him all shouted in unison, "Understood, Director Lin."
They began to fly over tall buildings, heading towards the Linhai Beach, and the buildings became increasingly shorter.
When they arrived at their destination, it was a vast sea and a beach, where many people were already playing.
Near the Linhai Beach, there is only one high-rise building, and its huge, brightly lit sign reminds people that this is the " Linhai Grand Hotel ".
After landing, Lin Jiayi waved to everyone and said, "Alright, we're here. Everyone come over and collect your room keys. Keep them safe so you don't lose them."
"I will arrange for teachers to be on duty on the beach. Please remember to report any problems promptly."
Afterwards, everyone was assigned a room. Cao Yu didn't rush to play on the beach, but instead pulled Meng Hongchen towards the Linhai Grand Hotel.
Upon entering the lobby, a female server quickly approached and asked in a friendly manner, "Are you students from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy?"
"Yes."
At this point, the waitress asked again, "What is your room number?"
Cao Yu and Meng Hongchen simultaneously looked at the number hanging on the keychain and said in turn, "Mine is 606."
Mine is 605.
The two rooms are so close together; I wonder if it was deliberately arranged by Jing Hongchen, the head of the Mingde Hall.
It's highly likely, otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen?
If you say that Jing Hongchen wasn't behind this, Cao Yu wouldn't believe it even if you beat him to death.
Then, the waitress gave a professional smile and began to lead them the way.
"Dear guest, please follow me."
The Linhai Grand Hotel naturally has elevators installed, so they didn't need to spend too much effort to walk up to the sixth floor.
As soon as the waitress pressed the button, they arrived on the sixth floor in less than half a minute.
The waitress kindly opened the door for the two of them, and then said with a smile, "This room is soundproofed with special materials. If you are hungry, you can go to the restaurant on the first floor. We deliver breakfast to each floor every morning."
Meng Hongchen asked curiously, "Soundproofing? Can it really achieve complete soundproofing?"
The waitress was clearly taken aback, but she quickly recovered and smiled, "Yes, that's one of the unique features of our Linhai Grand Hotel."
Upon hearing this, Meng Hongchen's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she looked up at Cao Yu with a smile.
That smile was clearly not simple; Meng Hongchen was probably thinking something bad again.
Seeing this, the waitress didn't linger any longer and said, "If there's nothing else, I won't bother you any longer."
After seeing Cao Yu nod, she slowly stepped back, then turned and left.
Only then did Cao Yu say to Meng Hongchen, "You go and pack your luggage first. I'll go pack mine too, and then we'll go play on the beach."
Meng Hongchen pouted and said, "Okay~~ But remember to call me when you leave, I might be a little slow, I brought a lot of things this time."
Cao Yu shook his head helplessly, then looked at her with a doting expression. "Alright, I'll come in and help you when I'm done."
"Okay, thank you, boyfriend."
After joking around for a while, the two went into their respective rooms to pack their things.
When they finished packing and arrived at the beach, everyone was already having a great time.
Chen Beifeng buried his entire body in the sand, He Caitou and Ye Xiaosheng kept burying sand over him.
Many people have already gone swimming in the sea, but their swimming style is not as elegant as one might imagine.
Although the boost from their Soul Power allowed them to swim very fast, their doggy paddle and breaststroke movements made many girls on the shore burst into laughter.
Meanwhile, Ju Zi and Ke Ke had already set up a barbecue grill on the beach, and soon the air was filled with the aroma of grilled food. Cao Yu, of course, went over and asked for a few skewers without any hesitation.
"Sister Ju Zi, give me two skewers."
Ju Zi looked up at Cao Yu and Meng Hongchen, her hands still busy turning the skewers. But when she saw Meng Hongchen holding Cao Yu's hand intimately, the smile on Ju Zi's face vanished instantly.
Even Ke Ke, who was standing to the side, realized something was wrong. The two of them asked Cao Yu in unison, "Are you two together?"
Cao Yu nodded and replied, "Yes, what's wrong, Sister Ju Zi, Ke Ke?"
When did you get together?
A few weeks ago.
"Alright, these skewers of grilled meat are for your girlfriend." Ju Zi handed the grilled meat to Cao Yu.
Then she took a few more, but this time she secretly added more chili powder, which she prepared especially for Cao Yu.
"These are for you. Eat them all up, but remember to drink plenty of water."
Unfortunately, Cao Yu was unaware of the seriousness of the situation and smiled slightly, saying, "Alright then, let's go for a stroll on the beach first." Only after saying that did he turn and leave.
Ju Zi waved and watched the two leave. At that moment, Ke Ke whispered beside her, " Ju Zi, well done."
"You saw it?"
Ke Ke said somewhat angrily, "That Cao Yu guy actually found a girlfriend without saying a word! I'm not bad-looking either, but he..."
Ju Zi then smiled and said, "So you admit you like him?"
"No... no..." she said, lowering her head in embarrassment, unable to meet Ju Zi's gaze.
" Ke Ke, don't hide it anymore. To be honest, I like him too."
"I know, but what's the deal with you recognizing him as your younger brother?"
"That would be a good way to build rapport, but it seems like all our prey has been stolen."
