Who could resist such straightforward and seductive words? Who could?
It was absolutely impossible to resist.
Their breaths intertwined as Zhuang Mengli once again took the initiative, holding Su Yang's cheeks and kissing him with her eyes closed.
Su Yang didn't care anymore and took her right there and then!
Tens of minutes later, the two lay on the sofa in a daze.
After catching his breath for a moment, Su Yang sat up and asked, "What time is it?"
"Nine ten."
"Are you sober now?"
"I wasn't drunk to begin with, just a little dizzy."
"Are you still dizzy?"
Zhuang Mengli sat up and shook her head, "Not anymore."
"That's good."
"I'm going for a swim," she said, getting up and walking toward the pool.
"You come too!"
"You go ahead, I'm going to light a cigarette."
"Then hurry up."
"Okay."
After Zhuang Mengli walked over to the pool, Su Yang lit a cigarette, leaned back on the sofa, and thought to himself: 'Damn, this girl is too good at this. She doesn't seem like a blank slate at all. Either the system made a mistake, or she's secretly watched a lot of tutorials since she was young.'
'She's quite formidable.'
After emptying his mind for a while, he got up and walked toward the pool. Zhuang Mengli wasn't swimming in the backyard pool but was soaking in the small indoor pool.
Su Yang walked up and laughed, "Are you soaking in a hot spring? You're even soaking with your clothes on?"
"Should I soak naked? I'm not that wild yet!"
"Really? Why do I feel like you're quite wild?"
"Tch, I'm just getting used to the temperature first."
"This is a heated pool."
"I know, leave me alone and come down first."
"This pool is a bit small. Come on, let's go swim in the backyard pool," Su Yang called out.
"This one is fine. I don't want to get up right now."
"Alright then."
Su Yang smiled and entered the pool. After swimming back and forth for more than ten laps, he stopped and leaned against the edge of the pool, "So comfortable!"
Zhuang Mengli also swam a few laps, then she came to Su Yang's side and pushed her wet hair back behind her head.
"I didn't expect your swimming skills to be this good."
Zhuang Mengli smiled, "Swimming is child's play for me, okay? If I wanted to, I could easily break a world record in a competition."
Su Yang didn't refute this, mainly because Zhuang Mengli really did have the ability.
Of course, he could do it too.
"Then how about we compete when we get the chance?" Su Yang turned his head and said.
"Sure, aren't we going to the Island Nation soon? We can find a beach and have a showdown then."
"Alright, but you probably can't beat me at swimming."
"Don't act so arrogant before we even compete."
As the two were chatting, Zhuang Mengli's phone rang.
She turned around, picked up the phone resting by the edge of the pool, and answered it.
"Hello, what's up?"
Jiang Xiaotang's voice came through the phone, "Mengmeng, what are you doing?"
"Swimming."
"Swimming? Su Yang doesn't have a pool there! Wait!! Holy crap... you didn't go back to the villa again, did you?"
"What, is that not allowed? You cruelly abandoned me, I was so lonely all by myself."
"Okay, okay, okay, I was just thinking of asking if you wanted to come out for a late-night snack later, I didn't expect..."
"It's too late for you to think of that now, and I don't want to be a third wheel anyway."
"Alright, if you aren't coming alone, why don't you bring the handsome Su along?"
"We're not coming. Take your time eating, bye."
She hung up the phone. Su Yang didn't ask much, and the two continued swimming.
At eleven o'clock at night, Su Yang got up and walked toward the bathroom, "I'm going to take a shower."
"Okay."
Su Yang walked into the first-floor bathroom, turned on the faucet, took off his pants, and started showering. A few minutes later, the sound of light footsteps rang out.
The sound got closer and closer, click.
The bathroom door opened, and Zhuang Mengli walked in.
"What are you doing?"
"Taking a shower."
"Damn, you really are reckless. Come here!"
"Coming~"
......
After showering, the two returned to the room and communicated for a while longer until they finally went to sleep at two in the morning.
The next day, Su Yang and Zhuang Mengli didn't go anywhere.
Around noon, Jiang Xiaotang came back for a bit, changed her clothes, and hurriedly left again.
Su Yang and Zhuang Mengli, on the other hand, cuddled on the sofa all day.
The day passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was a new day.
At twelve noon, Meng Wenzhou called.
"Hello, Old Meng." Su Yang answered the phone while lying on a lounge chair in the backyard.
"Hey, Old Su, my friend just sent me a message. The visas have been issued."
"Really? That was fast. So we can leave tomorrow, right?"
"Exactly. I'll have him send the documents to my place first. The ones we applied for are single-entry visas, valid for three months, with a stay of fifteen days after entry."
"Alright, fifteen days is plenty. Remember to bring them over when you come later, so we don't have to make an extra trip."
"Don't worry."
"OK, then I'll book the flight tickets for everyone first."
"Alright, then I'll book the hotels," Meng Wenzhou said.
"No need for the hassle, I'll just book everything and be done with it."
"That works too. See you in the afternoon."
"OK."
Hanging up the phone, Zhuang Mengli, who was lying on the other chair, tilted her head and asked, "We're leaving tomorrow, right?"
"Yes, I'm going to book the tickets first."
Su Yang said as he opened the Island Nation Trip group chat: @Everyone, guys, the visas are here. Please send your ID, passport information, and phone numbers to the group so I can book the tickets. We can set off for the Island Nation tomorrow.
Liu Bo replied instantly: OK Brother Yang, I'll buy them.
Su Yang: Stop nagging, I'll buy them. You can buy them on the way back.
Liu Bo: That works too.
Tang Ziyun: We always make you guys buy the tickets, it makes me feel bad.
Su Qingci: Yeah, international flight tickets are quite expensive. How about we buy our own?
Ren Lingxi: I was thinking the same thing. Brother Su Yang can buy them all together first, and then we'll transfer the money to you.
Meng Wenzhou: Oh come on, you guys, are we really being this polite with our relationship?
Liu Bo: Yeah, you guys are treating us like outsiders!
Su Yang: Stop dawdling, I'm buying! Hurry up and send the personal information I just asked for.
Tang Ziyun: Alright then, I'll book the hotels for everyone after we arrive in the Island Nation.
Meng Wenzhou: Little Tang, don't fight me on this. You girls just focus on having fun and looking beautiful this time. Leave the spending to me and Old Su.
Liu Bo: And me!
Meng Wenzhou: Oh right, just leave the spending to us three brothers.
Zhuang Mengli: The handsome guys are mighty!!
Jiang Xiaotang: Handsome!
Su Yang: It's settled then. Hurry up and send it.
Tang Ziyun and the others stopped arguing and sent their information and phone numbers to the group one after another.
A few minutes later, Pan Ning, Meng Qianyu, and Lu Yun also sent theirs.
Su Yang opened the travel app and searched for flights from Haicheng to Dongjin. It wasn't peak tourist season right now, so the tickets weren't expensive and were in ample supply.
There were two direct flights tomorrow morning at 9:15. The other flights all required layovers, though naturally, those tickets were relatively cheaper.
Su Yang looked at the two direct flights. One was domestic Haidong Airlines, and the other was Island Nation Airlines. The flight time for both was shown as three and a half hours, and the aircraft models were identical, both being Boeing 738 passenger planes.
However, there was a rather large difference in their ticket prices. Haidong Airlines listed their economy class starting at 2,400 per person, business class at 4,300, and first class at 4,800.
Meanwhile, Island Airlines was charging over 14,000, and that was just for an economy ticket—which was also the only class they had left.
Su Yang dismissed Island Airlines without a second thought. Although he didn't care about the money, there was no need to waste over 14,000 on an economy seat.
He clicked on the Haidong Airlines flight to check the details. Between business and first class, there were exactly eleven tickets left: six in business and five in first.
"What a coincidence!" Su Yang smiled and quickly booked the tickets.
Soon, the tickets for all eleven people were secured. Su Yang sent a message to the group chat: @Everyone, the tickets are booked! We take off tomorrow morning at 9:15!

"Wuwu~ Big Brother is so good to me! I’ll become a scientist to repay you!" When the genius girl got bullied by a shady professor? Su Bai casually dropped a billion-dollar investment, forcing the university to grovel and beg for her return. A company’s funding chain collapsing? Su Bai smirked—cash was the one thing he’d never run out of. Years later, when people traced the rise of the AI prodigy beauty, who was the man behind her success? Not just that—Su Bai also became the tsundere campus belle’s unattainable dream, the contrast senior’s daily necessity, and the beautiful counselor’s emotional anchor…

to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
