The pretty little follower gets targeted by the crazy guys at the elite academy

A private island in the Pacific Ocean, with plenty of sunshine and a gentle sea breeze.

Li Ruo lay on the beach chair, squinting at the distant sea. The sky was blue, the sea was blue, and they blended into one, with no clear boundary.

Zhou Si squatted down next to her, holding a plate of freshly washed strawberries. He carefully peeled off the stems from each strawberry and offered them to her lips.

Open your mouth.

Li Ruo opened her mouth, and the strawberry was stuffed into her mouth. The juice burst between her lips and teeth, making her squint her eyes because of the sweetness.

"Zhou Si".

"Um?"

"What do you think they're doing right now?"

Zhou Si paused for a moment.

He looked up at the sea, and his usually fierce eyes now held a lazy smile.

"They're fighting, aren't they? They're all vying to come find you."

Li Ruo smiled, a smile that was both cunning and unrestrained:

"So tell me, who will arrive first?"

Zhou Si thought for a moment, then offered her another strawberry: "Jiang Wu."

Li Ruo raised an eyebrow: "Why?"

Zhou Si also ate a strawberry, chewing it as he said:

"Because that kid is reckless."

"At least we few are still somewhat cautious; we know how to calculate, how to plan, and how to wait for the best opportunity."

"Him? He doesn't care about anything."

"All he knows is that he needs to find you."

"So he'll rush over at top speed, in the most direct way, and with the most reckless methods."

Li Ruo chewed on a strawberry, squinted, and looked at the distant sea.

She remembered Jiang Wu's amber eyes, eyes that always reflected only her.

Five years have passed, those eyes should still look the same, right?

It only reflected her image.

"What about them?" she asked. "Lu Xingzhou and the others?"

Zhou Si sneered: "Them?"

"That fox Lu Xingzhou is definitely plotting something. He'll make everyone think he's heading in one direction, when in reality he's heading in a completely different one."

"That hypocrite Pei Qingrang is definitely analyzing things. He'll use his clever brain to calculate the most likely route, and then sneak over here quietly."

"That reckless Lu Ran is definitely speeding. He'll rush over at top speed, no matter what's on the road."

"That rigid Guo Yiling is definitely trying to figure something out. He'll use every resource at his disposal to take the safest route."

As Li Ruo listened to his analysis, her smile deepened.

"And what about you?" She turned her head to look at him. "How do you know all this?"

Zhou Si paused for a moment, then lowered his head and continued peeling strawberries:

"Because Lao Tzu understands them."

"It's been five years. I've dealt with them countless times. Not for business, but to find you."

His voice was so soft it was as if he were talking to himself:

"I know each of their methods, habits, and weaknesses."

"Because I considered them my greatest enemies, and I thought they were hiding you away."

Li Ruo fell silent.

She looked at his face, slightly flushed from the sun, at the way he carefully peeled strawberries, and at the weariness in his eyes that she had never seen before.

five years.

He searched for five years and fought with those people for five years, not for anything else, but just to find her.

She reached out and gently touched his face.

Zhou Si paused for a moment, then looked up at her.

Li Ruo looked at him, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Thank you for your hard work."

Zhou Si's Adam's apple bobbed, then he turned his face away and continued peeling strawberries:

"What's so hard about it? It's good that you're back."

Li Ruo smiled, withdrew her hand, and continued to look at the sea.

After a while, she asked again, "Zhou Si, can your island... withstand them?"

Zhou Si stopped moving.

He looked up at her, his eyes filled with a complex emotion:

"You want them to come?"

Li Ru blinked: "You don't want to?"

Zhou Si paused for a second, then lowered his head and continued peeling strawberries:

"In no mood."

"I finally found you, I don't want them to come and take you away."

Looking at his awkward expression and slightly pursed lips, Li Ruo reached out, hooked her arms around his neck, pulled him down, and gently placed a kiss on his lips.

Zhou Si was stunned. The kiss was light and short, ending almost immediately.

But after Li Ruo stepped back, she looked at him and smiled slyly: "This is a reward."

Zhou Si's Adam's apple bobbed: "What's the reward?"

"This is a reward for waiting for me for five years."

Zhou Si watched her carefree laughter in the sunlight, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

But he remained stubborn:

"You think you can get rid of me with just a kiss?"

"I waited five years, and all you give me is a kiss?"

Li Ruo raised an eyebrow: "How many do you want?"

Zhou Si thought for a moment, then said seriously:

"Ten a day."

"Three in the morning, three at noon, and four in the evening. I still have to make up for the last five years."

"One thousand eight hundred and twenty-six days, ten a day... you can do the math yourself."

Li Ruo: "..."

She took a deep breath: "Zhou Si, are you bad at math?"

Zhou Si declared confidently, "I'm really good at math!"

"One hundred and eighty-two thousand two hundred and sixty kisses, not a single one less!"

Looking at his serious expression, Li Ruo couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Zhou Si, you're such an idiot."

Zhou Si wasn't annoyed; he just looked at her and smiled, like a child who had received candy.

"So what if I'm stupid?"

He said with a nonchalant attitude, "Anyway, fools are lucky. I've finally met you."

Seeing the undisguised joy in his eyes, Li Ruo couldn't help but reach out and hook her arm around his neck, giving him another kiss.

Zhou Si was stunned again: "This is...?"

"To make up for yesterday's," Li Ruo said, a sly smile on her face. "So you don't forget."

Zhou Si looked at her for three seconds, then picked her up and carried her towards the villa.

Li Ruo was startled: "Zhou Si, what are you doing?!"

Zhou Si looked down at her, a roguish smile on his face: "A follow-up kiss."

"It's too slow to fix it here, let's go somewhere else."

Li Ruo: "???"

"Zhou Si! Put me down!"

"I won't let go."

"you--!"

"Be good, stop fooling around."

"Finish today's work, then yesterday's, then the day before yesterday's..."

"Zhou Si, you bastard!"

"Yeah, I'm a bastard. I'm a bastard specifically to show you."
