Travel · Guangzhou Arc (Four): Roccia: Let Me Introduce You to My Man

As for why Roccia suddenly appeared near the rice noodle roll shop where Xiao Ling and Suisui were, we have to start from an hour earlier.

Room 905.

The guests in this room are Crimson Snow and Roccia. They have worked together for a long time and naturally know each other's living habits very well, making it more comfortable for them to live together.

Roccia had planned to take a nice nap after unpacking her luggage, but her roommate, Crimson Snow, spoke up at that very moment.

"Oh, right, I actually wanted to ask you something on the bus earlier," she said calmly, "But there were so many people on the bus, I didn't feel comfortable asking."

"Hmm? What is it that you have to ask at this time?" After packing her luggage Roccia sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Crimson Snow on the other bed.

"Hmm... you and Little Ling, are you already...?"

Crimson Snow's voice remained completely calm, and she even made a gesture that would make any girl feel incredibly ashamed.

Roccia was no exception; the moment she saw Crimson Snow make that mysterious little hand gesture, her entire face started steaming.

"Haha... No way, Crimson Snow, your sense of humor is still as lacking as ever~" she said, her eyes darting around.

"You're feeling guilty."

"Huh?" Roccia's expression froze for a moment.

"Your eyes were darting around when you were speaking just now; that's a sign of guilt," Crimson Snow explained calmly. "You're the one who taught me that."

Holy crap! She actually got outsmarted by her past self?!

"Ahem, I'm the principal, and he's a student. It's neither reasonable nor ethical for me to do something like this, like an older man dating a younger woman. You know me."

"Have you ever heard the proverb, 'Women over thirty are like wolves and tigers'?" Crimson Snow teased casually, "Although you're probably almost forty now."

"You're being too talkative!" Roccia irritably. "Aren't you an old witch too?"

It's only because Crimson Snow and Roccia have a good relationship that they can tease each other like this.

"Actually, even if you keep avoiding the topic, it's just self-deception on my part." Crimson Snow shook her head. "I can feel his presence on you, and it's obvious that ordinary physical contact can't reach that level."

"Huh?! Is it that obvious?" Roccia, surprised and doubtful.

Crimson Snow nodded slightly, her expression remaining as cold as ice.

"We have a close relationship, and I will keep quiet about what you don't want to mention to others."

"Ha..." Roccia sighed softly, then said somewhat hesitantly, "Well... we've developed into that kind of relationship..."

"What's your relationship?" Crimson Snow's tone rose slightly, seemingly with a teasing undertone.

"What else could our relationship be!" Roccia blushed, her voice rising slightly with shyness.

"Teacher-student romance... how youthful..."

"Youth my foot!" Roccia, covering her face. "I don't even know how to face Sister Yue anymore..."

"Don't be nervous. Maybe she always saw you as her daughter-in-law?" Crimson Snow chuckled. "But I didn't expect even you to fall for her so easily."

"Waaaaah..."

After chatting for a while, Roccia, feeling a bit hungry, prepared to leave the hotel to find something to eat outside.

"Do you need me to bring you some food?" Roccia asked gently.

"Yes, I don't have any dietary restrictions. I'll eat whatever you bring," Crimson Snow said with a smile. "Thank you for your help."

"Okay, wait, I'll bring it back to you." Roccia stood up, preparing to leave the room.

Oh, right, there's something I forgot to tell you.

"What's up?"

"Actually, what I said earlier about sensing Little Ling's aura on you was made up." Crimson Snow curled the corners of her lips, seemingly excited about her easy way out.

Damn it, give me back that naive, aloof shrine maiden from before!

Roccia, feeling somewhat dejected after Crimson Snow's lie exposed all her secrets, was walking down the streets of Guangzhou.

When did Crimson Snow become so good at playing pranks?

"It must all be that lecherous man's fault!" she thought bitterly.

Although she didn't know the reason behind it, that didn't stop her from putting all the blame on Hajiling.

Xiao Ling: So? W, i, l, l, Y, o, u, L, i, k, e...

The streets of Guangzhou are still quite lively, perhaps because it's summer vacation. You can see many young men and women full of youthful energy on the streets, injecting a unique vitality into the city.

However, Roccia's focus did not seem to be on this.

"Wait, what's that...?"

After strolling around the street for a while, Roccia suddenly sensed something and immediately spotted a rice noodle roll shop not far away. She then hurried to the shop's entrance.

The rice noodle roll shop wasn't her main focus; she was interested in the people sitting inside.

Roccia wasn't very familiar with the blonde woman, but she knew the guy sitting opposite her Roccia the back of her hand.

Hey kid, sneaking off to meet up with a pretty girl behind the backs of your idols? Hajiling, you're pretty brave, aren't you?

Roccia things up, posted a photo to the group chat and then went straight into the rice noodle roll shop, ready to arrest Hajiling on the spot.

"This rice noodle roll shop is pretty good. Did you check it out beforehand?" Suisui elegantly wiped her mouth, her voice tinged with laughter.

"No need, just look at the signboard and you can tell this place tastes good," Xiao Ling smiled. "Not just any rice noodle roll can claim to be authentic Chaoshan stone-ground rice noodle rolls."

"It seems you're quite knowledgeable about the food culture here."

"I wouldn't say that, but I've been eating rice noodle rolls since I was a child, and I can tell which ones are good and which ones aren't just by taking a bite."

Oh? So you have quite an appetite?

No way! That voice... Principal?!

Xiao Ling's face stiffened, and she turned her head toward the source of the voice, where she met a pair of familiar deep purple eyes.

"Haha... Headmaster, what a coincidence..." Xiao Ling looked at Roccia, who had a half-smile on her face, and felt a little scared.

"It's quite a coincidence, really. I just happened to run into you with some vixen from who-knows-where," Roccia said with a cold laugh, lifting Xiao Ling's chin. "And I'm also quite curious, is this rice noodle roll shop really as delicious as you say?"

(Don't rush, the real vixen hasn't appeared yet.)

"So, you probably don't mind having an extra set of chopsticks and bowls, do you, Miss?"

"Since we're both diners, then there's nothing wrong with it."

Although Suisui and Xiao Ling are close, they are not as close as Yangyang, so Roccia's blatant demonstration has little effect on her.

"However, I think you should pay more attention to your image. Doing this kind of thing in public is bound to cause controversy," she said kindly, holding up her folding fan.

"Oh, excuse me, miss, let me formally introduce you. This handsome man is my man." Roccia elegantly, "So, do I have to consider other people's opinions when disciplining my man?"
