Summer Vacation, Summer Vacation, Summer Vacation!

After a relatively stressful final exam, students finally welcomed their beloved summer vacation.

Xiao Ling and the girls from Solaris were no exception; they were walking out of the sunlit campus, each with a relieved joy on their face.

"Mmm~" Aemeath stretched contentedly, "Finally finished exams~ Time to enjoy a wonderful holiday~"

"What are your plans for the holiday?" Xiao Ling asked the girls around her with a light laugh.

"I'm going to sleep in!" Dania said lazily. "I've finally waited for summer vacation, and now I can finally sleep in without any worries. I'm going to sleep for days on end, and nobody's going to bother me!"

"As for me... I'll probably take this opportunity to wander around and do some good deeds along the way!" Lynae grinned, showing her teeth.

"I want to use the summer vacation to further improve my cooking skills," Chisa said earnestly. "So, if you have time, could you teach me?"

"Although I think your cooking skills are already quite good," Xiao Ling said with a smile, "You're always welcome to come and learn cooking from me if you'd like."

"As for me... um... I don't really have any ideas." Sigrika shook her head somewhat troubledly, her four orange ponytails swaying gently. "Actually, I'm more looking forward to the trip at the end of July."

"All preparations are complete," Xiao Ling nodded with a smile. "We'll just pack our bags and be ready to go."

"As for me... I need to manage my account, grind the game, catch up on anime series, and also find time to learn how to make desserts and cook. Hmm... I might also do some good deeds with Lynae or something." Aemeath counted off the things she had to do on her fingers.

"You have quite a few new hobbies," Xiao Ling chuckled, then changed the subject, "But as for desserts and cooking, if you want some, just ask me to order, right?"

"A-Yu, you idiot!" Aemeath tapped Hajiling on the forehead. "Of course I want to help you out! I can't let you do everything yourself, or I'll become a useless person!"

(What an angel next door...)

"Hajipiao, what are your thoughts on this wanderer?" Xiao Ling finally asked the Rover who had been silent all along.

"Me? I don't have any plans. At most, I'll find a way back while keeping an eye on some lecherous bastard." The Rover said meaningfully.

"Is it necessary to treat me like a thief?" Xiao Ling asked with a bitter face.

After giving Xiao Ling a knowing look, the Rover ignored him completely.

"Ugh, never mind, getting home is the priority. This weather's getting hotter and hotter." Xiao Ling flicked her hair, which was becoming increasingly damp with sweat. "We have guests waiting for us at home."

"Guests? Are they the Shorekeeper?" Aemeath asked.

You'll find out when you get home.

The group rushed home and finally saw the guests Xiao Ling had mentioned at the door.

"Principal Roccia?!" the crowd exclaimed in surprise.

"Girls, it doesn't seem like we've been apart for very long, there's no need to be so excited, is there?" Roccia chuckled as she looked at her students, her gaze naturally skipping over Xiao Ling.

Realizing this, Xiao Ling smiled awkwardly, then turned her attention to Professor Morning, who was standing next to the principal.

"Morning, how's it going to be living in a new place? Will it affect your work?"

"Don't worry, senior, it's not a big problem," Morning said with a gentle smile. "A change of environment will actually help my work."

"That's good." Xiao Ling smiled slightly. "Speaking of which, Principal Roccia, you've been ignoring me since just now, haven't you?"

"Oh, sorry, I just saw it," Roccia replied calmly, her every move displaying the demeanor of an elder.

In fact, when Roccia received the invitation from Hajiling, she was torn between her feelings and her inner thoughts for quite some time.

After all, given Hajiling's sudden awakening of her mysterious Succubus Physique, it would be difficult for a virgin like her, who has never been in love, to resist such an offensive.

Moreover, in a sense, they have broken their vows. Rather than deliberately ignoring it, they simply don't know how to handle their current relationship, so they can only pretend not to see it for now.

Why did I come here again, as if by some strange twist of fate?

Huh? Right? Why did I come here?

"Anyway, let's go inside." Xiao Ling walked to the villa entrance. "The rooms will still be the same two as before, you don't have any objections, right?"

"No problem, senior." Morning nodded with a smile.

"It's alright," Roccia, looking slightly bewildered.

"Then come in." Xiao Ling took their luggage from them.

The instant their fingertips brushed against each other, Roccia as if she were electrocuted, and reflexively withdrew her hand.

"There was static electricity just now," Roccia explained without batting an eye, handing the luggage to Xiao Ling before stepping into the villa first.

"... Ha ha."

Xiao Ling was clearly aware of Roccia's current state. He chuckled dryly as he watched Roccia's retreating figure, then picked up the two guests' luggage and headed inside.

The women followed Xiao Ling into the villa, chatting and laughing. Once the door closed, the joyful sounds inside were completely cut off from the outside world.

Back in her familiar room, Roccia arranged her belongings one by one and began to sort out her thoughts.

But no matter how she tried to distract herself, she would always end up remembering her intimate interactions with Xiao Ling in the office that day.

Xiao Yue asked her to take care of Xiao Ling, but she didn't say she would take care of her in this way...

Not to mention they live under the same roof now, seeing each other all the time. If she deliberately avoids him, wouldn't that be indirectly proving to the girls in the house that she and Xiao Ling are having an affair?

Roccia suddenly felt a little tired, rubbed her temples, and sighed softly.

"Principal, why do I hear you sighing all the time as soon as you come in?"

Roccia out of her daze and found Xiao Ling staring at her with a smile in his eyes, holding a fresh fruit platter in his hand.

"I'm really troubled right now." Since it was just her and Xiao Ling in the room, Roccia no longer needed to hide anything. "A student I really admire wants to push me away, but I can't find a good way to tell him that's wrong."

"Let him push it, anyway, Principal, you've been single for a long time." Xiao Ling said with a calm smile.

"Aren't you afraid of being discovered by those girls?"

They'll find out sooner or later.

To this, Xiao Ling could only say that a harem should be included, but pure love should also be included; only then can it be considered a complete system.

"I'm a teacher, and a principal at that. Do you really have the guts to lay a hand on me?" Roccia said coldly, her eyes narrowing slightly.

"Oh, sorry, Roccia, the only thing the position of principal can give me is an attack speed bonus," Xiao Ling said with a light laugh.

"Pah! You lecherous scoundrel!"

"Thank you for the compliment~" Xiao Ling said with a cheeky smile. "Alright, here's the fruit platter. Help yourself if you want some. I need to prepare lunch, so please excuse me."

After successfully teasing Roccia, Xiao Ling left the room satisfied, leaving Roccia blushing and lost in her own thoughts.
