Tea-flavored Romance

People's spirits are low... Ning Yuan sighed inwardly, but said aloud, "Then I'll have to trouble you."

Such a beautiful girl, the most beautiful girl in the department, tiptoed to help you put on your raincoat and gently smoothed out the wrinkles. It would be a lie to say you weren't happy. The guys around you, seeing this sweet scene, were almost unrecognizable with jealousy.

Why is it that everyone else has a beautiful girlfriend to help them put on their condoms, while we have to fend for ourselves? Some even have to help their buddies put them on! Is this the inequality of the world?

Ning Yuan put on a thin raincoat, but Jiang Manyue still seemed unsatisfied. She gently straightened the uneven parts of his raincoat until he was completely tidied up before withdrawing her hand.

"All right."

Jiang Manyue didn't ask Ning Yuan to help her put on her raincoat, but Master Ning wasn't the kind of person who would just take advantage of others. He immediately and gently reached out to help the girl put on the raincoat. After they finished, they looked at each other and smiled, truly a perfect couple. The girls around them saw Jiang Manyue's treatment and immediately felt unbalanced. Some even struggled to take off their raincoats and have their boyfriends put them on for them again.

Boyfriends: "mmp..."

A group of people quickly lined up to go up the whitewater rafting project. Master Ning slowly moved onto the small boat, then reached back and took Jiang Xihua's soft, slightly cool hand.

Be careful.

Jiang Manyue glanced at him with a hint of reward, seemingly quite satisfied with Ning Yuan's gentle boyfriend mode at this moment. After the two sat down, Ning Yuan didn't linger on her hand and naturally let go, continuing to chat with Miss Manyue.

"Why do you like sitting in the first row?"

"Isn't it exciting? Don't you like it, Ning?"

"Me? I'm fine with anything."

After all, Jiang Xihua had just given him face by playing the role of a gentle girlfriend, so Ning Yuan naturally had to reciprocate in kind. Seeing the girl looking at him with smiling eyes and an adorable expression that made him want to exclaim "oh my god," he became increasingly satisfied with his actions.

This move could easily be included in the top 10 actions of anime male protagonists!

Forgive my bluntness, but everyone here… hey, Sakuta-sensei, could you stand up for a second…

Everyone here is trash!

After a brief preparation period, the small boat slowly started and embarked on a thrilling journey with the current. Ning Yuan chatted with Jiang Manyue for a while, but suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Why is Jiang Xihua all smiles no matter what I say? Is this girl usually this well-behaved?

The small boat continued drifting, and after a while, it slowly rose to the top. The people on board knew that after this slope came a thrilling high-speed adventure, and they couldn't help but feel excited and nervous, with small gasps of surprise filling the air… Master Ning glanced at Jiang Manyue's expression and cautiously asked:

"Jiang?"

"Ok?"

Are you unhappy?

"I'm very happy."

"Then why are you laughing so strangely..."

"Is there?"

The small boat gradually climbed to its apex. Although Ning Yuan felt uneasy, he had no concrete evidence, so he had to put aside his doubts for the time being, put on his raincoat and hood, and enjoy the thrill of riding the waves...

Huh? Where's my hat?!

How did my hat get so torn?! Who did this?!

He turned his head abruptly, his face filled with disbelief, his fingers trembling slightly, his whole demeanor one of utter shock, like a character in a movie who had just discovered the identity of the mastermind behind everything before his death…

"You...you...Jiang Manyue!"

"Have fun." The girl smiled brightly, put on her raincoat hood, and then the small boat quickly descended and rushed towards the water.

"My life is over!" Master Ning wailed, clutching his head as he faced his impending doom...

No wonder they specifically wanted to sit in the first row, no wonder they smiled at me so gently, no wonder they specifically helped me put on my raincoat...

There are two things I should never have believed in my life: first, that Jiang Manyue is cute; and second, that Jiang Manyue has no vengeful intentions!

As the flying boat touched the water, waves splashed, and the pure white and beautiful mist was aroused into a flower-like scene that shot straight away.

The rest of the group: Ahhhhh... So exciting...

Ningyuan: What the hell is this?! What kind of human suffering is this?!

The cold mist slapped haphazardly against our faces. The most thrilling and dangerous moment had passed, and the small boat gradually slowed down. The others on board excitedly shared their experiences.

"Exciting, refreshing, and exhilarating!"

"Holy crap, that was absolutely amazing! It's a shame I didn't take a picture with my phone."

"What are you afraid of? We can buy photos over there later. They'll be taken by professional cameras, and they'll be better than the photos you take yourself."

Of course, this kind of scene also includes comments from some big shots:

"That's it? I didn't even blink."

"It's just average, nothing special."

Whether they were pretending to be tough guys or young couples seeking thrills, everyone had a great gaming experience. However, the excitement was theirs, while Ning Yuan got nothing.

Jiang Xihua poked Ning Yuan's head, who was hiding around her waist seeking protection, without any expression.

"It's over."

"But the wound in my heart is not over yet."

Master Ning raised his head sullenly, his face serious, and said, "I was almost scared to death... Jiang, you owe me an apology."

Ginger Flower: "..."

When we were going down the slope, she tried to lift my raincoat and hide in my arms from the water. I stopped her, and she just grabbed my waist and wouldn't let go. She's so skilled at this. Don't you think I owe her an apology?

"Don't look at me like that... Didn't you just nervously hug my head?" Ning Yuan touched the water splashed on the back of his head. "If you hadn't ruined my hat, I wouldn't have hidden myself on you."

"I wasn't nervous."

“You did. I just felt you shudder.”

"That's because you hugged me!" Jiang Manyue glared at him. Thanks to Ning Yuan's little action, she didn't even have time to lower her head properly, and some water splashed onto her cheeks, wetting her black hair.

It seems... this is a lose-lose situation?

Chapter 115: It's rolled up!

Ning Yuan and Jiang Manyue were playing in the water at the theme park, while Ning Yiling was thoughtfully pulled away by some of her friends, giving the two of them a good opportunity to be alone.

Once the big deal was done, the group of friends couldn't help but become curious about the inside story of this gossip.

"Hey, Little Ling, are your brother and that girl from earlier really a couple?"

"Yeah, yeah, hasn't his CP always been Senior Jiu Jiu?"

"That was before. His current on-screen partner is that girl he filmed the movie with, I think her name is Gu..."

"Little Ling'er, do you have any exclusive inside scoops to share with the ladies? We'll treat you to afternoon tea later~"

Ning Yiling recalled the scene of Ning Yuan and Jiang Manyue together at the end, and became angrier the more she thought about it. She muttered, "How could they be together? If Ning Yuan really had a girlfriend, he definitely wouldn't have thought of taking me out to play."

"So they're still getting to know each other?" one of the girls asked, puzzled. "Then why was that girl standing so close to your brother just now? It was clearly a declaration of ownership."

"Is that so?" Ning Yiling was taken aback.

"Yeah, she looked at us like a possessive girlfriend. Otherwise, why would we have taken you away? We were just worried that you, her sister-in-law, would cause trouble with her sister-in-law."

"I told you he was surrounded by sluts, but he didn't believe me." Ning Yiling gritted her teeth: "She actually used this method to get rid of me. Jiang Manyue is a bad woman after all!"

The other friends all glanced at her sideways, thinking that according to Xiao Ling'er's logic, apart from that cute and silly senior Lu Jiujiu, everyone else around Ning Yuan must be a bad woman.

A hidden master with an insatiable brother complex—truly terrifying!

"No, I have to warn that bastard, lest he fall for that wicked woman's tricks..."

"You can't guard against thieves for a thousand days if you're a thief for a thousand days. Little Ling, you should give up... Your brother is so handsome, he must have no shortage of pretty girls around him."

Ning Yiling pondered for a moment upon hearing this.

"Makes sense."

The girls all breathed a sigh of relief and were about to say something when Ning Yiling took out her phone again.

"I can resolve this issue directly from Ningyuan. If you don't nip it in the bud, it will just grow back!"

The girls: ? ? ?

Is this "root"... the root we're thinking of?

……

Even now, Ning Yuan still doesn't know, or rather, has no idea what the real content of Ning Yiling's plan to eradicate the root of the problem is. At this moment, he is still on the small boat surging forward, fighting wits with Jiang Xihua, arguing about who owes whom an apology.

"You're hiding something by putting a raincoat on me!"

Jiang Manyue calmly replied, "You listened to Gu Guanxue's slander and joined in to defame me."

"My hair is all wet, so I look like I'm the one who's in a worse state."

"You took advantage of me."

"Nonsense!" Master Ning jumped up in anger: "I didn't even lean into your arms, how is this taking advantage of you?"

This is indeed true. Because of the safety buckle, Master Ning couldn't change his body shape to get close to Jiang Manyue when he was descending rapidly. After being stopped by his raincoat, he could only make a quick decision to bury his head in Jiang Manyue's side to minimize the splashing water on himself.

"I'm referring to when you said I was your boss's wife when you bought the ticket."

"..."

"You weren't angry at the time."

“I’m not angry,” Jiang Xihua said calmly, “but that doesn’t mean I won’t hold grudges.”

Ning Yuan: "???"

Is there such an operation?

Master Ning was impressed by Jiang Xihua's logic, so he decided to do the same as her: outwardly admit defeat but secretly hold a grudge and wait to take revenge later.

The small boat moved slowly forward, with someone operating water guns on a raised platform to add a bit of fun to the tourists' journey below. Upon reaching the shore, the safety harness was released, and Ning Yuan, disregarding past grievances, continued to hold Jiang Xihua's little hand as they disembarked.

If we're talking about getting a good deal, then this is barely considered getting a good deal.

Sure enough, trying to reason with Jiang Manyue was the most foolish thing to do... Ning Yuan sighed inwardly. After getting ashore, he gently let go of her hand, and the two of them walked out with the crowd.

There was a photo booth near the exit, and a group of people were gathered around, chattering excitedly. Ning Yuan went over, intending to pick out a few photos of him and Jiang Manyue to pay for, but after looking around, he couldn't find many decent ones. Either Jiang Manyue was holding his head and not letting him move, or he was frantically trying to lift Jiang Manyue's raincoat. He couldn't even find a single photo showing her face clearly.

Oh right, there is a frontal photo, but that photo shows Master Ning's terrified expression before the flying boat landed, so he cunningly bought the photo secretly, intending to destroy the evidence.
