“An Xin, would you sleep with me tonight?” To everyone’s surprise, it was Lin Wanfeng who spoke.
An Xin frowned slightly and instinctively wanted to refuse.
“Is it too much trouble for you? Besides, I really want to experience what it’s like when girls whisper secrets to each other on a trip.” Lin Wanfeng was actually being so sweet and sly—An Xin never expected that.
An Xin wanted to snap back: ‘How dare you use my own magic against me.’
“That’s right! Why don’t we girls share a room and let Senior have one to himself?” To be honest, Hua Manyue didn’t want Senior and An Xin to share a room either.
Even though she had accepted in her heart that those two were already a couple, that didn’t mean she could stand her beloved Senior and Senior An Xin doing that kind of thing!
“Since you’ve all decided, I’ll take Room 203 at the far end.” Seeing that everyone had almost settled the matter, Ling Cheng grabbed his suitcase and walked into the room.
“Let’s rest a bit, then we’ll head to dinner at five o’clock.”
“No problem, Senior.”
After last night’s fierce battle, Ling Cheng had no desire for that kind of activity right now. If he could get a room alone, the evening would actually be more comfortable.
As Hua Manyue helped the weak-faced Yun Ziyu into their room, only An Xin and Lin Wanfeng remained in the hallway.
“Come on, An Xin, let’s go drop off our luggage.” Lin Wanfeng’s expression was calm and breezy.
But An Xin was already so angry she could barely control her face. She even considered starting the drugging tonight.
…
By the time they gathered, Yun Ziyu’s complexion had improved significantly.
“Everyone’s here. Let’s head to the second floor for dinner. This vacation includes a seafood feast.” Ling Cheng was actually looking forward to the seafood.
“You guys go first. I need to use the restroom all of a sudden. A Chen, I’ll be right there!” Just as everyone was about to reach the stairwell, An Xin’s expression shifted.
“Are you okay? Want me to buy you some medicine?” Ling Cheng asked with concern.
“I’m fine! It’s just a bathroom break. No need to worry so much.”
“Don’t flaunt your lovey-dovey stuff in front of us, Senior!” Seeing Ling Cheng’s worried look, Hua Manyue felt like breaking up their intimate atmosphere.
“I’m not flaunting anything. If you had a stomachache, I’d buy you medicine too.”
“Then Senior, actually I…” Hua Manyue pretended to clutch her stomach with a pained expression.
Lin Wanfeng paid no attention to the teasing around her; her eyes were fixed on An Xin, who had turned and gone back to the hotel room.
After quite a while, when everyone had already started enjoying the seafood buffet, An Xin finally arrived late.
“Senior An Xin, come quick! This lobster is so yummy!” Hua Manyue was enjoying her first time eating lobster to the fullest.
“Okay, I’m coming.”
An Xin quickly walked over to Ling Cheng, pulled out the chair beside him, and sat down.
As soon as she sat, she picked up a disposable glove from the table, skillfully cracked open a Boston lobster shell, and held the white, springy meat to Ling Cheng’s lips.
“A Chen, open wide. This one is the meatiest.”
Just as Ling Cheng reached out to take it, An Xin pulled her hand back slightly, her eyes carrying a hint of coaxing. “Let me feed you. It’s too much trouble for you to peel it yourself.”
“Fine, fine.” Ling Cheng helplessly opened his mouth and took the bite. The sweet freshness of the shrimp melted on his tongue, but before he could savor it…
A slender hand extended from his right side, holding a piece of perfectly separated king crab leg meat, and shoved it right up to his lips.
“Try this. It’s chewier than lobster.” Lin Wanfeng’s voice carried her usual laziness, her fingertips nearly touching Ling Cheng’s lips. “I specially picked the biggest one.”
“That’s a bit too close, Miss Lin. You should keep some distance from someone else’s boyfriend, don’t you think?” An Xin’s brow furrowed so tightly it could crush a person.
“Is it? Maybe a little. But Ling Cheng and I are such good friends. Don’t worry, we’re purely platonic.” As she spoke, Lin Wanfeng continued to push the crab leg meat toward Ling Cheng’s mouth.
“Ah, king crab leg meat! I love it!” Seeing this scene, Hua Manyue felt she had to step in and resolve the conflict and crisis at the table.
She leaned in beside Ling Cheng and bit into the king crab leg meat. But because she moved too fast, Ling Cheng didn’t react in time and ended up kissing her directly.
Not only did Hua Manyue get the crab meat, but Ling Cheng’s lips also brushed her cheek.
The air froze instantly.
Hua Manyue’s face turned bright red, though for some reason she felt a tiny thrill inside.
“S-Sorry, Senior! I didn’t mean to! I just really wanted the crab meat!” She covered her flushed cheeks and stumbled back, nearly bumping into a waiter carrying a tray behind her. “I swear I wasn’t trying to take advantage of you!”
Crack!
An Xin’s expression was dark enough to drip water; the lobster in her hand had been crushed into pieces.
Seeing this, Lin Wanfeng fanned the flames with interest. “Oh my, looks like Manyue also has a lip friendship with Ling Cheng!”
“No, no, it’s not…” Caught between Senior An Xin, whose face was terrifyingly gloomy, and Lin Wanfeng, who had an amused expression, Hua Manyue immediately became like a chastened child, hanging her head.
She really did feel she had done something wrong. As the official girlfriend, Senior An Xin would definitely be upset.
“I’m sorry, Senior…”
“I’m sorry, An Xin, and Manyue.” Ling Cheng scratched his head. He knew he had to step up in this situation.
“Hm…” An Xin didn’t say much, just gave a soft hum.
“It’s my fault. I didn’t react in time. Tonight I’ll take you for a walk by the sea to enjoy the breeze.” As An Xin’s boyfriend, Ling Cheng had come to grasp how to get along with his girlfriend.
“Alright then.” An Xin sighed softly, seeming to accept the suggestion, and her expression returned to calm.
‘But why is there one more person on my assassination list?’
Yun Ziyu, who had been silent, grew even more worried. ‘Ling Cheng, how are you so smooth at this?’
‘And there are actually several girls fighting over him.’
‘He can even diffuse such a battlefield of love rivalry. My President Ling really has become a scumbag… How should I intervene?’
Just as Yun Ziyu was thinking, after hearing the proposal to go enjoy the evening sea breeze after dinner, Lin Wanfeng raised an eyebrow.
“Maybe I’ll go enjoy the breeze too. Let’s all take a walk together~”
Looking at the forward Lin Wanfeng, Yun Ziyu suddenly had an idea. ‘What if I help President Ling hold Lin Wanfeng back?’
‘President Ling must have a reason for being a scumbag!’
Watching Lin Wanfeng’s extremely proactive attitude, Yun Ziyu’s mind already concocted a story: President Ling had to play both girls for the sake of his start-up fund.
Thus, she definitely had to help President Ling keep Lin Wanfeng away.
“How about I accompany Sister Lin for a stroll?”
