Chapter 88

Su Ci woke up early in the morning, still feeling drowsy. Not long after the car started, she leaned on Lu Zhe's shoulder and fell asleep.0

Whether it was the computer class or Su Ci's class, everyone was in shock. No one had expected that Lu Zhe would be the boyfriend of the school flower.0

However, it had to be admitted that both Su Ci and Lu Zhe had very high appearances. When they walked together, they were incredibly pleasing to the eye.0

On the other side of the aisle, two boys couldn't help but shift their gaze toward them. They saw the school flower leaning on Lu Zhe's shoulder, and they could only catch a glimpse of her snow-white, delicate chin.0

Lu Zhe's eyes were a bit cold. He shifted his body slightly, completely wrapping the girl in his arms to block the prying eyes of others.0

The morning sun was high in the sky, and golden sunlight streamed through the car window, falling on the girl's face. Her fair skin seemed to be bathed in a soft glow.0

Su Ci subconsciously frowned.0

Lu Zhe reached out to pull the curtains, blocking the harsh light.0

Their destination was a small island, and the journey by car would take two hours.0

The bus was very quiet, and most of the people around were asleep.0

At this moment, Su Ci woke up, feeling her legs numb from sitting for too long.0

"Legs numb?" Lu Zhe had been resting with his eyes closed, but as soon as the girl woke up, he opened his eyes.0

Su Ci's expression was still a bit dazed. "Mm."0

Lu Zhe took a bottle of mineral water from his backpack, twisted off the cap, and handed it to the girl. Then he leaned over to massage her legs.0

Su Ci was indeed thirsty. After taking a few sips, she stared blankly at the boy who had just been massaging her legs.0

"Better?"0

Su Ci nodded.0

Lu Zhe then let go of her legs, took the water bottle from her hand, and fished out a pack of snacks from his backpack. He stuffed it into her hands. "Eat."0

Su Ci realized it was a pack of fruit-flavored candies. She knew Lu Zhe didn't like sweet things, so it was obviously prepared for her.0

After opening the package, there were several mixed flavors of candies.0

She picked one and finally chose an orange-flavored one, popping it into her mouth.0

Su Ci looked around and saw that everyone in the front, back, and aisle was asleep.0

She patted Lu Zhe with her hand.0

"Hmm?" Lu Zhe looked at her.0

Su Ci smiled and asked him, "Do you want to eat a candy?"0n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lu Zhe rubbed her head. "No, you eat."0

Su Ci glared at him, whispering disdainfully, "You have no romance at all."0

Lu Zhe: "Then I'll have one."0

Su Ci smiled again. She reached out her hands and cupped Lu Zhe's face on both sides. "I'll treat you."0

Her small mouth pressed against his cold, thin lips.0

Lu Zhe felt a candy being pushed into his mouth, prying open his lips.0

The sweet orange juice flavor spread on his tongue.0

Surrounded by classmates, Lu Zhe thought the girl would retreat quickly. However, along with the candy, her soft little tongue also slipped in.0

Lu Zhe's dark eyes looked at her. The girl's eyes were filled with laughter.0

She teasingly hooked him, deliberately poking under his tongue.0

Lu Zhe's chest trembled.0

He kissed her fiercely, wanting to make this little troublemaker beg for mercy with teary eyes.0

However, Su Ci seemed to know that Lu Zhe would be restrained. In other words, Lu Zhe's face wasn't as thick as hers. Not only did she not get teary-eyed, but her eyes were also brimming with laughter.0

She found it truly thrilling.0

When they finally separated, Su Ci's eyes were slightly red at the corners, and her cheeks were flushed. She licked her lips, tasting only the sweet orange flavor. She wasn't sure if the candy had been swallowed by her or melted in Lu Zhe's mouth.0

She looked like a little fox that had successfully stolen a snack, laughing and leaning into Lu Zhe's chest.0

Lu Zhe tightened his grip on her waist, his cold voice low as he leaned close to her ear. "Just wait."0

Su Ci was used to being bold and didn't fear Lu Zhe at all.0

As they approached the destination, people on the bus began to wake up one by one.0

When they got off the bus, many couldn't help but glance at Su Ci. The girl's lips were red and glossy, her black eyes sparkling with vitality, and she looked radiant and charming.0

The boys couldn't help but feel even more envious of Lu Zhe.0

Their destination was a small island, and they had to take a boat to get there.0

The sea breeze was strong, and many girls, dressed in light clothing, were blown into disarray, shivering from the cold.0

Su Ci was wearing a thin jacket and didn't feel cold, but she still coquettishly burrowed into Lu Zhe's arms, making everyone else feel like they were eating dog food.0

The ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‍boat ride to the island only took twenty minutes.0

When they disembarked, many girls were pale from the sea breeze, their hair tangled, and some even vomited after feeling seasick, looking quite disheveled.0

Shen Xue also felt a bit seasick. Standing on solid ground, she felt like vomiting.0

After taking a bottle of water from Wen Duoyu and drinking a few sips, she managed to suppress the nausea.0

Just as she was recovering, she saw Su Ci, her face glowing with joy, holding Lu Zhe's hand as they stepped off the boat.0

Shen Xue felt utterly envious and jealous.0

Despite being a pampered young lady, Su Ci didn't seem tired at all. Instead, she looked as if she had drunk some magical elixir, still so beautiful and exquisite.0

When they arrived at the hotel, the class leaders had everyone gather by class to assign rooms.0

Su Ci was assigned to share a room with Wen Duoyu, while Shen Xue shared a room with another girl from her class.0

On Lu Zhe's side, since there was an odd number of boys in their class, and many of them were close friends who had already paired up, Lu Zhe, who didn't interact much with others in the class, naturally ended up being the odd one out, assigned to a single room.0

The class leaders told everyone to first settle their luggage and then have lunch. In the afternoon, there would be a class vs. class game competition. They reminded everyone to wear clothes suitable for movement since they would be participating in activities.0

The hotel was by the sea, and Su Ci got a sea-view room with a large balcony where she could enjoy the sea breeze.0

Wen Duoyu, carrying a backpack, felt both excited and nervous at the thought of sharing a room with her goddess.0

She had never dreamed of being able to sleep in the same room as Su Ci. She felt like there was a little monster in her chest, roaring with excitement.0

She slowly put down her backpack and asked Su Ci in a small voice, "Ci Ci, which bed do you want to sleep on?"0

She wanted to give the bed by the inner side to Su Ci, thinking it would be safer.0

Su Ci didn't mind. "Either is fine."0

"Then I'll take the outer bed," Wen Duoyu said, having read news about some unsafe hotels where security guards might suddenly open the door with a keycard in the middle of the night.0

Su Ci nodded.0

She unpacked her suitcase and remembered that the class leader had mentioned there would be a competition in the afternoon. Wearing a skirt would be inconvenient, so she took out a set of clothes from her luggage and prepared to change.0

Soon, Wen Duoyu saw Su Ci emerge from the bathroom wearing short jeans and a white T-shirt.0

Wen Duoyu was stunned. As expected of her goddess, even her legs were so white and slender.0

Su Ci thought about going outside in the afternoon, and even though it was late autumn, the UV rays were still strong.0

She took out a bottle of sunscreen and prepared to apply it. "Do you want some?" She turned to ask Wen Duoyu.0

"Ah?" Wen Duoyu suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed by the goddess speaking to her.0

"Stretch out your hands."0

Wen Duoyu obediently did as she was told, extending both hands and placing them side by side.0

"Don't be nervous," Su Ci said, squeezing some sunscreen onto Wen Duoyu's palm. "There's going to be sunlight outside, so we need to protect our skin."0

She leaned closer to Wen Duoyu, carefully observing her skin.0

Wen Duoyu subconsciously held her breath, feeling so nervous that she thought she might faint at any moment.0

At such a close distance, she could see that Su Ci's face had no blemishes or pores, her skin was white and smooth, and she looked so beautiful.0

"Do you usually not take care of your skin much?" Su Ci glanced at her for a few moments before turning back to her luggage.0

"I'm not very good at these things," Wen Duoyu said, feeling a bit more relaxed as she caught a whiff of the goddess's faint fragrance in the air.0

Su Ci took out a bottle of lotion from her luggage. "Here, this has moisturizing and pore-tightening effects. Girls should take good care of their skin."0

Wen Duoyu quickly shook her head. "I... I can't take this."0

Although she wasn't very knowledgeable about skincare, she could tell from the bottle that it must be expensive, and she couldn't accept it.0

"Take it," Su Ci said, pushing the lotion bottle into Wen Duoyu's hands. "I still have more. It's just a bottle of lotion. There's no need to be so formal between friends."0

Su Ci then walked over to the full-length mirror to apply her sunscreen.0

Wen Duoyu felt the bottle in her palm, as if it were burning hot. Just now, the goddess had said "between friends."0

She is the goddess's friend now?0

Wen Duoyu blushed and smiled happily, feeling both shy and delighted.0

When Su Ci was fully dressed and ready to go, she and Wen Duoyu stepped out together. As they walked down the corridor, they saw a tall young man in a black T-shirt heading their way, presumably to take the elevator.0

Su Ci stood still, waiting for him.0

However, when the young man approached, he frowned, "Why are you wearing such short pants?"0

Su Ci glanced down at her own pants, "They're not short. This is the normal length."0

Besides, her legs were beautiful, and short pants looked better on her.0

Lu Zhe spoke up, "We might go to places with trees this afternoon, and there will be more mosquitoes. Aren't you afraid of being bitten?"0

"I am," Su Ci replied. Her legs were fair, and her skin was delicate. Being bitten by mosquitoes would leave ugly welts, "Then I'll go change into a pair of long pants. Wait for me."0

Lu Zhe was well aware of Su Ci's obsession with looking good, so he nodded, "Alright."0

Wen Duoyu was quite surprised. Previously, Su Ci had been very aloof in their class, treating other suitors coldly. Yet, with just one word from Lu Zhe, she obediently went to change her pants.0

She suddenly realized that the saying "one thing cures another" made a lot of sense.0

At that moment, Shen Xue happened to come out of the next room. Wen Duoyu, being tactful, didn't want to stay and be a bright little lightbulb, so she followed Shen Xue to have lunch.0

After a while, Su Ci came out of her room, now dressed in a pair of black slim-fit trousers.0

The island was abundant with seafood, so lunch was a luxurious seafood feast at the hotel.0

Su Ci and Lu Zhe sat together, with Shen Xue and Wen Duoyu sitting opposite them. Several other classmates from their two classes were also nearby.0

Shen Xue noticed Lu Zhe pick up a wet towel, wipe his hands clean, and then start to peel the shell and dismantle the meat of a crab.0

It was autumn, the best season for crab meat, with both the roe and the yellow being incredibly tempting.0

Lu Zhe's skillful hands neatly separated the crab roe and meat, placing them in a small white porcelain bowl, which he then handed to Su Ci.0

Shen Xue looked on with a mix of envy and longing, "Su Ci, I regret sitting at the same table as you. This is too much for a single dog to handle."0

Previously, she hadn't understood why Su Ci liked Lu Zhe. Although Lu Zhe was handsome, he suffered from ALS and had a short life expectancy, which made it hard for any girl to fall for him.0

Now, seeing Lu Zhe not only pour water for Su Ci but also peel crabs and shrimp shells for her with such gentleness and attention, coupled with his handsome face, he was practically the perfect boyfriend.0

She finally understood why Su Ci liked Lu Zhe so much.0

Su Ci enjoyed the crab roe and meat that Lu Zhe had peeled for her. She raised an eyebrow at Shen Xue with a triumphant smile, "What's the big deal?"0

Such a wonderful Lu Zhe was hers.0

Shen Xue was utterly dazzled by the display.0

After lunch, everyone returned to their rooms to rest in preparation for the afternoon's competition.0

Su Ci was surprised to learn that Lu Zhe had a room to himself.0

She started to have a mischievous idea, "I'll come to your room tonight and sleep with you, okay?"0

Lu Zhe couldn't help but pinch the girl's nose, his voice cold, "No."0

Su Ci let out a light hum, ignoring Lu Zhe. She turned around and entered the room, after all, whether it would work or not was up to her to decide.0

Su Ci snorted lightly; she ignored Lu Zhe and turned to enter the room. In any case, whether it would work or not, she was the one who decided.0

The island had an escape competition event.0

The two class leaders gathered their classmates and set off for the escape base.0

The base was not far from the hotel, just a ten-minute drive away.0

The base was quite large, surrounded by trees, and had various areas set up with wooden houses, small buildings, stacked oil drums, tires, and other objects as cover.0

The two classes were divided into two teams, with anyone hit by a paintball being considered eliminated, and the team with the most survivors after two hours being declared the winner.0

Additionally, the team member with the most kills would receive an extra reward.0

The staff distributed guns to everyone. The guns were made of metal, quite heavy in the hand, and looked very realistic.0

The paintballs fired would cause a stinging sensation when they hit, and upon impact, they would burst, releasing red liquid that looked like blood.0

The staff reminded everyone, "These are protective goggles. The paintballs will hurt when they hit you, so protect your eyes. If you have a jacket, wear it, and we will also provide you with protective vests."0

The boys were excited, as this was their kind of thing.0

Everyone put on black vests and goggles, and after receiving their equipment, they were eager to get started.0

The class leaders reminded them, "Remember, friendship first. Avoid conflicts during the game."0

"Don't worry, class leader. Our class will definitely win," one student said confidently. The other class had more girls, which was practically giving them free kills.0

Su Ci's classmates couldn't help but retort, "We'll see how we take you down later."0

Su Ci ignored the banter and turned to look at Lu Zhe. He was wearing goggles and a black protective vest, with black fingerless gloves on his hands. He looked incredibly handsome.0

Su Ci asked him, "If you meet me during the game, will you shoot me?"0

Lu Zhe lowered his eyes to look at her, "We are on different teams."0

Meaning he would shoot her.0

Su Ci let out a light snort, "I asked the wrong question. Maybe I'll take you down first."0

Lu Zhe chuckled, wanting to pinch her slightly conceited face.0

When everyone was ready, the staff blindfolded them and took them to different locations. The game began as soon as the blindfolds were removed.0

Su Ci opened her eyes and found herself in a small house. The interior was decorated realistically, with a sofa, wardrobe, table, and other objects that could be used as cover.0

She was about to move when the next moment, she heard the broadcast: "Yellow team, one player eliminated."0

Su Ci was a bit surprised. How come someone was eliminated so quickly?0

She had just stepped out of the house when she ran into a boy. She glanced at the wristband on his hand. The blue wristband indicated he was from the computer class, while the yellow wristband was for her class.0

This boy was wearing a blue wristband.0

He clearly hadn't expected to encounter an enemy so soon.0

The boy pointed his gun at Su Ci, and she pointed hers at him.0

"Wait," the boy, who was quite handsome, moved his gun away from Su Ci, "Don't be afraid. I won't shoot you. In exchange, can I add you as a friend?"0

He hadn't expected the first person he would meet to be the school beauty. Su Ci was just too beautiful, and he couldn't bring himself to eliminate her.0

Su Ci directly refused: "Of course... not."0

At the same time, her paintball directly hit the boy's black vest, right in the heart area.0

Red liquid burst out like blood.0

Su Ci curled her red lips and said, "Because I'm eliminating you."0

The broadcast announced: "Blue team, one player eliminated."0

The boy hadn't expected Su Ci to be so decisive. He was eliminated just like that, and he looked regretful as he was taken away by the staff hiding in the shadows.0

Su Ci felt a little smug, thinking she was quite amazing.0

She continued walking, trying to stay near cover.0

Her phone had been confiscated, so she couldn't communicate and didn't know where Lu Zhe was.0

As she walked through the forest, she saw a girl from the blue team hiding behind a tree, her back facing Su Ci.0

Su Ci raised her eyebrows, aiming directly at the girl's back.0

"With a pop, the paintball burst on the girl's back, startling her."0

The girl only realized she had been eliminated after a moment.0

When she turned to see who had eliminated her, it was the school beauty.0

Su Ci was too beautiful, and the girl didn't even feel upset about being eliminated.0

“Sorry about that,” Su Ci smiled.0

The girl waved her hand, "It's... it's okay."0

The girl was taken away by the staff.0

On the way, Su Ci encountered two more boys. While they blushed or stared at her in a daze, she quickly fired her gun.0

Su Ci proudly shouted out the wealth, "Your master is impressive, right? Who says a beautiful vase is useless?"0

Fu Gui's flattery was smooth, "The master is amazing. The master is a vase that combines beauty and wisdom. How can other vases compare to the master?"0

Su Ci felt a surge of happiness listening to Fu Gui's cheesy compliments.0

Next, Su Ci, with Fu Gui's reminder, eliminated two more blue team members who were hiding.0

Su Ci thought that she would probably be the king of her team later.0

With forty minutes left, Su Ci encountered Lu Zhe behind a sand pile.0

He had just eliminated a member of the yellow team.0

Seeing the yellow team member being taken away by the staff, Su Ci stepped out from behind the tree, "Lu Zhe."0

Lu Zhe's handsome face remained calm as he turned around upon hearing the girl's voice.0

Su Ci asked him directly, "Are you going to shoot me?"0

Su Ci had already made up her mind. If Lu Zhe dared to shoot her, he wouldn't have an easy night.0

She walked toward him.0

Lu Zhe smirked, setting his gun down and raising his hands. With a light laugh, he said, "Go ahead, shoot me."0

He was surrendering to her.0
