"why?"

"Men and women shouldn't touch each other. We shouldn't talk about these things, let alone touch each other." The girl's voice trailed off.

"Master Ye, what are you thinking about now? I didn't mean to take advantage of you. Besides, you've touched me plenty of times before, haven't you?"

"That's because..." The girl's words trailed off.

"Because?" The boy met her gaze.

"Because I never expected it to turn out like this!" The girl looked away and raised her voice.

"Like this?" The boy casually observed her face.

"Ugh, so annoying! Stop eating your lousy bread!" Ye Shuang suddenly became displeased and glared at him.

"Okay." The boy put down the pineapple bun he was biting in a second.

"Anyway, we can't keep pulling and tugging like this!" The girl crossed her arms in front of her chest, her serious expression seeming to regret her behavior from morning until now.

"We are master and apprentice, but in the end, we are just a little closer than ordinary friends."

"Even master and disciple won't do!"

"Master Ye, what are you afraid of? Anyway, nobody here knows us." The boy shrugged.

"What will we do in front of Miss when we get back?!" Ye Shuang was on the verge of going crazy.

"Master Ye, keep your voice down." The boy looked around and made a shushing gesture. "What do you mean by 'what to do in front of Xuanqi'? It sounds like we're having an affair behind her back. Master Ye, you're overthinking it."

"Then how do you think Miss will feel if she sees us like this?" The girl with pigtails frowned, a deep anxiety flashing in her beautiful eyes.

“Xuanqi isn’t here now, so we can just go back and act like usual. Master Ye, what are you worried about?” the young man said casually.

Ye Shuang suddenly reached out and grabbed his collar, her slightly trembling eyes reflecting the boy's deep face, "Cheng Fei!"

The boy looked at her with concern. "Master Ye, what's wrong with you? I feel like you're carrying a heavy burden. We're just friends. So many girls at Yinghua confess to me all the time, and I even have meals with them without Xuanqi objecting. Besides, you and Xuanqi are such good friends, you don't need to worry so much."

After speaking, the girl remained silent for a moment, then pushed him away and lowered her head to eat sushi with the broken chopsticks.

"Here you go." The boy placed the new chopsticks in front of her.

Ye Shuang picked up her chopsticks without looking at him, "Cheng Fei."

"what?"

"If you ever dare to wrong Miss in the future, I will kill you for her." The girl raised her head, her indifferent expression containing a hint of determination.

"Master Ye, so you think I have ulterior motives towards you? Don't worry, I don't mean that. Besides, it takes two to tango. With such a loyal maid like you, Xuanqi is laughing in her sleep."

"I'm not some maid!" The girl was instantly annoyed, gripping her chopsticks tightly and slamming them vertically on the table, drawing the attention of the foreign passersby at the next table.

"It's my problem, so I'll give you half. Let's leave this topic here and stop thinking about other things." The boy tore the pineapple bun in half, put the uneaten half on the girl's plate, and casually picked up a takoyaki from her plate.

Ye Shuang stared at the food on the table, her brows furrowed, and remained silent for a long time.

……

After lunch, the girl with pigtails yawned and looked listless. "I'm going back to take a nap. You keep looking for people."

"Then I'll go back too." The boy next to him put his hands in his pockets.

Ye Shuang's gaze turned hostile. "What else do you want?"

"I also take a lunch break, Master Ye. Don't you treat me like a human being?" the boy said matter-of-factly.

481. The two continued their search.

"Whatever you want." Ye Shuang turned and left, leaving Cheng Fei with his long, swaying black pigtails.

The boy watched her retreating figure and silently followed.

"I need to sleep for forty minutes." Back in her room, Ye Shuang said this and closed the bedroom door.

Cheng Fei took out the book he brought and started reading. Of course, he didn't need to take a lunch break. He was just too lazy to look for Ye Shuang since she wasn't around. He was too happy that the Lin family had been cheated out of money.

During this time, the suite's housekeeper delivered the clothes that the two had previously sent for laundry.

Cheng Fei rummaged through the clothes and found his own shirt and pants. He also noticed Ye Shuang's sailor uniform and pinafore dress, but didn't find any white knee-high socks. He had reason to suspect that she had only worn them once before throwing them away.

"Sigh, young lady." The boy shook his head and continued reading.

About an hour later, Ye Shuang walked out of the room, still half asleep. She first glanced at the boy reading on the sofa, then turned her gaze to her own clothes folded beside her, seemingly displeased. "Cheng Fei, did you touch my clothes?"

"Master Ye, what's with this feeling that I did something strange to your clothes? I just folded them for you when I received them." The boy looked up.

"Thank you, but not next time." Ye Shuang pouted and carried the clothes back to her bedroom.

When she returned, the boy closed his book and looked at her light pink tracksuit. "Master Ye, why aren't you wearing a skirt today?"

"What if it's inconvenient to take action, and what does it have to do with you anyway?" The girl raised her chin.

"I like seeing you in white over-the-knee socks; I think your legs are beautiful." The boy's expression was as indifferent as if he were saying he liked eating cabbage.

Ye Shuang frowned and glared at him, then looked away, saying, "I told you not to say things like that to me."

"Master Ye, are you shy? I'm just telling the truth. There's nothing wrong with looking at a leg." The boy shrugged.

"If you like it, let the young lady wear it for you. Don't stare at me!" Ye Shuang said irritably, hands on her hips.

"Xuanqi's temperament is not suitable for white. Master Ye, you look more innocent and your pigtails are also very cute."

"Cheng Fei, I'm going to get angry if you say that again!" The girl frowned and clenched her small fists.

"I'll shut up." The boy zipped up his mouth.

"Let's go, hurry up and finish the mission." Ye Shuang turned and opened the door.

“Okay.” The boy quickly followed.

Led by Cheng Fei, the two arrived at another place this time.

"Live-action shooting? Would Ding Sheng really come to a place like this?" Ye Shuang asked suspiciously.

Cheng Fei stood beside her, shaking his head seriously, "It's unlikely, it's just that I wanted to come."

"You!" The girl frowned and stared at him.

"Master Ye, you know how to use a gun, right?" the boy asked abruptly.

"So what if it happens?"

"How about you teach me? Although all we have here are laser guns," the boy said earnestly. "It won't take long."

Ye Shuang opened her mouth, then nodded, "Okay, but I only know how to use a pistol. I can teach you how to hold a gun."

"That's enough, let's get started."

So the two then used the laser guns here for instruction. Except that they couldn't actually fire bullets, they were no different from real guns in appearance and weight, and even had vibration motors to simulate recoil.

"Hold the handle firmly with the base of your thumb and index finger, and cross your fingers with your index finger." The girl's tone became serious.

"Like this?" The boy held the gun with both hands, aiming it at the target in the distance.

"wrong."

"so?"

"That's not right either."

"How about this?"

"Something's even more wrong now!"

"What exactly happened?"

"Why can't you understand this? It's so annoying, don't move!"

The anxious girl began to correct the boy's movements step by step, which made the people at the shooting position next to her show a complicated expression of envy and jealousy.

Damn it, who on earth has such a beautiful girlfriend who can even handle guns...?

Once Cheng Fei had mastered the basics of holding a gun, the two moved to the live-action combat arena to participate in an indoor brawl among tourists.

Surprisingly, Ye Shuang was eliminated without killing a single person, while Cheng Fei persisted in killing several people before finally falling.

After the game ended, the two checked the kill log, which showed that Ye Shuang was shot in the chest and taken down with full health.

"Master Ye, I didn't expect you to be so bad at actual combat." The young man rubbed his chin.

"What kind of real combat is a laser gun? If it were real bullets, I would have dodged them long ago!" The girl with pigtails squinted.

"You mean your Platinum Star is fast enough to dodge bullets?" the boy raised an eyebrow.

The girl gave a soft hum, which was probably a tacit agreement.

"When will my time be so fast?" the boy sighed.

The two left the live-action shooting range and, led by Cheng Fei, headed to the open-air deck on the top floor. Before they even stepped onto the gangway, they could hear laughter and cheerful chatter.

"Where is this place?" Ye Shuang frowned.

"The swimming pool," the boy said casually.

"Cheng Fei, we're here on a mission!" the girl glared at him.

"Master Ye, you don't think I'm going to drag you swimming, do you? I'm just going to take a look in the pool." The boy shrugged.

"I'm not going into the pool either!"

"why?"

"You need to change into your swimsuit before you go in, don't think I didn't expect that!" The girl's wary expression seemed to indicate that she had anticipated everything.

“Master Ye, although I would like to see you in a school swimsuit again, I’m not that bored. I’ll go in, and you can search the outside. Is that alright?” The young man looked at her face seriously.

"Alright then." The girl looked away.

The two separated temporarily, and Cheng Fei went to the changing room to change into his swimming trunks before entering the pool area.

Under the bright midday sun, the atmosphere at the cruise ship's pool can only be described as an ocean of joy.

As expected, the handsome young man with impeccable looks was approached and even harassed. A girl pretended to accidentally spray water on him with a water gun, then came up to him to apologize, making the young man's search very difficult.

On the other side, Ye Shuang arrived at the sunbathing area at the highest point of the open-air deck. There was a row of fixed telescopes along the railing, pointing directly at the swimming pool below, which required a fee to unlock.

The girl with pigtails swiped her card and used binoculars to survey a large area. After a while, she didn't find her target, but she did find a boy who had swum in the pool and was now climbing up the escalator.

Clear water slid down the grooves of his pulsating muscles after his workout, and his pale skin was dazzling in the sunlight.

Ye Shuang adjusted the focus of her binoculars without expression and followed the boy's movement. She soon saw the boy being approached by a beautiful blonde woman, who even gave him a drink that she couldn't tell if it was alcohol or something else. The two chatted and laughed.

The girl with pigtails narrowed her eyes.

After the conversation ended, the boy picked up his cup, turned around, and continued walking, his eyes darting around. Suddenly, he looked up and saw the binoculars pointed at him from above.

Ye Shuang quickly adjusted her angle and turned her gaze elsewhere.

……

As evening fell, the empty-handed teenagers arrived at the cruise ship's atrium, where a small garden was playing. A group of children were chasing each other, and a public piano was placed nearby. Many passengers were sitting on benches, resting and chatting.

Cheng Fei and Ye Shuang waited here for the Interpol duo to meet.

482. Cheng Fei plays the zither for Ye Shuang

Cheng Fei glanced at his watch. "We're a bit early, Master Ye. Would you like to hear a piano performance?"

"What are you up to now?" Ye Shuang glanced at him.

"Since you're free anyway, I can play whatever you want to hear you play." The boy pointed to the public piano next to him.

"I don't want to hear it." The girl turned her face away indifferently.

"Master Ye, can you please stop being so cold? It's too deliberate." The young man looked at her.

The girl with pigtails frowned, remained silent for a moment, then sighed softly, "Alright, then... do you know the theme song from Spirited Away?"
