Su Huai and Gu Jiuyue were woken up by that bunch of idiots who were eager to go down to the sea and catch shrimp.
It was just after 6 a.m., the sun had barely risen, and they were already floundering around getting ready to head into the sea through the forest.
"Guys, look what I found? Wild mangoes!"
"Can someone from the south help me out, is this a jackfruit?"
"Are you crazy, who told you that everyone from the south knows jackfruit?"
"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit! Lu caught a coconut crab on the next island, it’s huge!"
"I’m going out to fish, anyone want to join?"
There were more than just the two of them pitching tents on the beach, the idiots clearly slept very late, but many people got up before dawn to start making a fuss.
Huang Mengting passed by Su Huai’s tent and, seeing Gu Jiuyue sitting inside with her hair sticking up in all directions, laughed mischievously: "Gaga gaga gaga... How did you sleep last night? Comfortable?"
The oblivious Gu didn’t realize the malicious intent behind her question and nodded dumbly: "Yeah, very comfortable."
After a pause, she added: "It’s just my back hurts a little."
"Holy fuck!"
Chen Lan burst out with a curse word, glaring viciously at Su Huai: You animal!
Huai simply flipped the bird: Dream on? She just wasn’t used to sleeping on a foldable bed.
Ding Yi wasn’t so gossipy and hurried Gu Jiuyue: "Yueyue, hurry up, let’s go to the next island to pick up shells and catch crabs!"
"Okay!"
Gu Jiuyue instantly got energetic, turned her head to chase Su Huai away: "Get out quickly, I need to change clothes!"
"We’re good friends!"
Gou Huai had just let out a protest when he was dragged away by the girls, and someone even kicked him in the back.
And then... there was no more ’then’.
The girls had abundant reasons: "Today is the last day of the trip, Yueyue belongs to us now!"
Alright, that’s how it is then.
The whole morning, everyone was involved in group activities.
It began with adventures back and forth between seven islands, followed by group diving, and then a real-life CS battle with water guns.
The water gun fight was the most interesting, with 17 boys chasing 33 girls around the beach, screaming all over the place, and then Zhang Renhui, who was the quickest to run, got caught by the girls, circled in the middle for a barrage of kicks...
But the quickest was Su Huai, and no one could catch him. His agility and speed, which even a husky would envy, allowed him to keep up the output till the end.
Until Gu Jiuyue couldn’t take being squirted anymore, suddenly threw her water gun, and staggered toward him.
The sandy beach already made it hard to walk, and with the waves crashing, it took her two seconds on average to take a step, and with her head going forward first, she looked ridiculously clumsy.
Not even five steps—more precisely, on the fourth step, she suddenly dropped to her knees and plopped down in the water.
Holy shit?!
Su Huai was startled and rushed over, only then to be grabbed by Gu Jiuyue, who clung to his legs and wouldn’t let go.
"Haha! I caught you!"
"Alright, alright, you got me."
Su Huai hurriedly pulled her out of the water, helped her stand up straight, and swayed her around to check thoroughly.
Thank goodness, not a big problem.
Gu Jiuyue obediently let herself be maneuvered, then suddenly hugged his neck and gave a little jump, leaping about 5 centimeters high, and clinging onto him like an octopus.
"Yo ho, what’s this about?" Gou Huai asked with a sly grin.
"Your punishment is to carry me!"
Gu confidently demanded, but the impression she gave was not at all bratty, just endearingly foolish.
The culprit Su Huai grabbed hold of the weak policewoman’s legs and heaved her up, not considering it steady until he had properly adjusted her on his back.
Though separated by a snorkeling suit and unable to feel the texture, how could having such a soft, sweet little fairy clinging to him be called punishment?
"Fine, I’ll carry you, I jump, you shut up!"
Gou Huai, with her on his back, dashed towards the azure sea until it was waist-deep, then suddenly leaped like a fish, plunging them both into the water.
"Ah!"
Taken by surprise and getting a mouthful of water, she let out a startled cry, followed by joyful laughter: "You’re so annoying!"
You’re so annoying! (NONONO)
It’s so much fun, Su Huai, I’m so happy! (YEYEYE)
Each female student watching this scene showed a motherly smile that didn’t quite fit their age, while the boys covered their chests, feeling deeply wounded.
It hurts, it hurts so much!
How many more tricks does Dog Class Leader have to kill us? When will it ever end?!
Well, the sour lemons soon found their release.
Because they hadn’t lasted until lunchtime, the little weakling had run out of energy and ended up lying on the beach like a pile of mud.
Andy and Lan hurried over to check on her.
Not a big issue, Su Huai had never let her engage in any strenuous activity from start to finish, keeping her escape range within 3 meters, just like coaxing a child.
Nevertheless, while others were feasting on a seafood banquet at noon, she could only drink porridge, looking on with longing eyes.
Andy was mean. She didn’t want to be the bad guy herself but warned Su Huai: "Don’t let the missus eat meat or seafood, only porridge and stir-fried veggies. Anything raw or cold is completely forbidden!"
Su Huai had no choice but to pull a long face and drink porridge with her, until she was called away by Ding Yi and others. Gou Huai then hurriedly scurried over to the boys’ side, boasting about two crabs and a lobster he had snagged.
After eating, everyone started on the journey back.
The cruise ship left Xisha for Sanya, and then they boarded a plane at Phoenix Airport, heading straight for the Imperial Capital.
The trip was coming to an end.
Everyone was extremely reluctant. They had too much fun this time.
The three major pains of traveling— the hassle, crowds, and the ever-present risk of a bad hotel or meal— were all perfectly handled by Gu Jiuyue.
The students from the Big Data class were, strictly speaking, still just a group of kids. The standard for this trip was set too high and was too unforgettable.
