Chapter 1254: Chapter 965: Go Take a Look at the Little Fool

In June, Xu Yang boarded the Yuluan, a lightweight flying ship, heading to Red Jade Island in the Taiya Region, a beautiful tropical vacation destination.

Xu Cheng had opened a well-known flight club on the island, specifically teaching ambitious tourists how to pilot light aircraft.

Xu Yang hadn’t seen her for many years either, and he really wondered how beautiful the Little Fool would look as an adult.

After many years of nurturing, Xu Cheng finally grew up, and every time Xu Yang thought of this, he felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Lu Jing provided this flight, as she also wanted to get some fresh air by the sea and repay Xu Yang for all his help over the years.

The Heavenly Cardinal Manufacturing Company was running smoothly, thriving, with business shifting towards biopharmaceuticals, environmental protection, nanotechnology, and cultural education, providing the wisdom of the ancestors for world development.

On the Yuluan, in the side passenger cabin, Lu Sizhou was advising Lu Jing.

“Miss, Miss, you must be careful of those sly bad men who are only after your beauty and the Old Lu Family’s wealth,” Lu Sizhou advised Lu Jing earnestly.

Lu Jing seemed to have had her mind set on Xu Yang all these years, and despite Lu Sizhou’s repeated advice, she hadn’t given up.

“The air here is so nice, help me with my hair,” Lu Jing said, changing the subject as she always did.

Lu Sizhou sighed and concentrated on combing Lu Jing’s hair.

“No matter what, I want to make sure Miss is always glamorous and beautiful,” Lu Sizhou hummed a tune lightly.

Holding a nanocomb, a single stroke from top to bottom automatically styled the hair. Lu Sizhou also applied a cell repair needle to Lu Jing, keeping her youthfulness, barely touched by time.

“I’m a Witch, it doesn’t matter. But you, you should take better care of yourself, or you might never get married,” Lu Jing said, smiling at the mirror.

“I don’t want to get married; I want to follow Miss for life. Don’t leave me behind!” Lu Sizhou said quickly.

“Silly girl, now tell me the truth, did Father send you to spy on me?” Lu Jing asked as she stood up.

“No way, haven’t I always been following Miss? I’m just doing my job,” Lu Sizhou laughed.

Despite this, Lu Sizhou made up her mind to follow Mr. Lu’s wishes, carefully keeping watch to ensure Miss Lu’s chastity wasn’t lost to some rascal.

“That’s good then,” said Lu Jing, opening the door and heading into the shuttle machine corridor to find Xu Yang.

Xu Yang was resting, his mind wandering, traveling through the world, his heartbeat almost synchronizing with the world’s pulse, moving freely within the data light realm.

“Xu Yang!” Lu Jing walked up to him.

Xu Yang looked up, seeing Lu Jing, he found her extraordinarily beautiful, her plain gauze dress accentuating her graceful, slender figure. Her demeanor was gentle and elegant, having been nurtured by a good family education, a young lady of a noble family who had been well-read since childhood, exuding a scholarly fragrance that Xu Yang found irresistible.

“We’re almost there,” said Xu Yang kindly, “Breaking away from long work hours is not easy, so take this as a rare chance to relax.”

“I’ve also been looking forward to it for a long time, only hearing about the Southern Region’s scenery before. Now that there’s a chance to experience it firsthand, I must fully enjoy it,” Lu Jing said with a smile, being fascinated by overseas exotic places.

Lu Sizhou peeked out from the corridor, pressing her hand against the cabin wall, feeling the engine’s rumble. Seeing Xu Yang and Lu Jing happily chatting, her eyes rolled around, and she had an idea, turning around to sneak away.

Before long, Lu Jing’s communication device lit up.

“It’s my father wanting to video call,” Lu Jing said, not daring to neglect, quickly connecting.

“Little Jing!” Lu Kanyan, in a purple loungewear, waved at Lu Jing from behind a redwood desk, his hair white, looking kind.

“Here I am!” Lu Jing quickly placed the device on a glass tabletop, sat on the sofa, and gently ran her fingers through a few strands of hair. Xu Yang, seeing her adorable, didn’t go far.

“Where have you been? There’s nothing on the itinerary,” Lu Kanyan asked.

“Sorry, Dad! I should have sent a message first. I’m on a… short trip, for research!” Lu Jing said quickly.

“What kind of research makes you leave Guangnan Prefecture without a word and wander around?” Lu Kanyan asked suspiciously.

“I’m collecting tropical butterflies. Many alien species of butterflies appeared after the Heavenly Tribulation. I love butterflies, so I came as soon as I heard the news. This will surely help us study the alien ecosystem more deeply,” Lu Jing said swiftly.

“The tropics? Are you in the jungle? Come back quickly; it’s hot and humid there. Don’t loiter around and get sick,” Lu Kanyan said methodically.

“No, Dad, I’m not there yet, I’m on the shuttle machine,” Lu Jing replied quickly.

“I heard you’re with your lover, let me see what he looks like,” Lu Kanyan got straight to the point.

Lu Jing quickly stood up, frantically waving at Xu Yang to hide.

“No, Dad! Only Lu Sizhou, Xiao Lu, is with me,” Lu Jing picked up the communicator, letting the camera spin around, indeed only showing the innocent face of Lu Sizhou.

“You can’t lie,” Lu Kanyan sighed, “You’re going to make your mother and me sad. Honestly, Lu Jing, who are you with?”

To everyone’s surprise, Lu Jing quickly ended the communication, almost as if electrocuted, she slapped the end button, her eyes wide, body stiff, seemingly unaware of where her courage came from.

“What happened?” Xu Yang walked up.

“Miss!” Lu Sizhou ran over, glaring at Xu Yang angrily, “It’s all your fault!”

Lu Jing sat there for a while, her eyes closed, as if neither Xu Yang nor Lu Sizhou’s words could affect her.

“I’m fine,” Lu Jing opened her eyes and said with decisive vigor, “Don’t let my matters affect you guys, we’re almost at Red Jade Island.”

Lu Sizhou was startled, never having seen Miss like this before. She shot a glare at Xu Yang; it was all his fault, anyway.

“You messed up, you jerk,” Lu Sizhou said quietly.

“I didn’t,” Xu Yang thought Lu Jing must have her reasons for acting this way, preferring to let everything take its course.

Lu Jing didn’t speak afterward, nor did she look at the video. She simply rested with her eyes closed until the shuttle machine landed on the shores of Red Jade Island.

Lu Sizhou took Lu Jing to change into beachwear, and Xu Yang descended first. The azure sea extended to the horizon, waves gently lapping against the sandy beach surrounding the resort’s modular houses.

Xu Yang had yet to see Xu Cheng and her flight club, which might open in the afternoon, so he set up a few lounge chairs on the beach. Some tourists strolled around the sandy shore, albeit not many in number.

More common on the beach were unmanned drone sensor systems, flying like birds, collecting all the sounds, lights, shadows, scents, and temperatures here, transmitting all data to a carrier satellite, then distributed to millions of virtual consoles worldwide.

Hence, people could enjoy the beauty of Red Jade Island from their homes, capable of customizing parameters including weather and gravity for a unique experience.

He turned around to see Lu Jing coming down in a flowing short-skirted swimsuit, her jade-white long legs stepping onto the sand, a sight so wonderful that Xu Yang could almost imagine more scenery.

Lu Sizhou, on the other hand, wore a cheongsam-adapted swimsuit, covering most of her body, like a shy young maiden, continuously nagging Lu Jing from behind.

“Oh dear, Miss! How can you dress like this! Your navel should be covered, your arms and legs should be covered!” Lu Sizhou followed behind.

“I want to swim,” Lu Jing faced the sea, beginning to stretch, her posture fluid and graceful like a dancer.

Xu Yang smelled the fragrance on Lu Jing, and the subtle lotus scent on Lu Sizhou, who was also wearing nice perfume. He turned to look at Lu Sizhou, startling her to shivering back, hugging herself tightly, while simultaneously asking, “What are you looking at!”

Lu Jing was already swimming in the water, her movements in the near-sea’s translucent azure, like a small dolphin.

In the distance, seabirds rode the air currents above the ocean, swirling, flying, and calling. The breeze rustled the tree leaves, the rhythmic lapping of the waves almost hypnotic. Sunlight sparkled on the ocean waves, reflecting layers of golden light.

“This is really beautiful,” Lu Jing said with a smile as she finished swimming and stepped onto the shore, her delicate features adorned with water droplets. She first gave a look at the shimmering sea, then cast a deep glance at Xu Yang.

“The sun is really strong; let me apply some sunscreen for you so that you don’t get sunburned,” Xu Yang said.

“Stop! I can hear your abacus clattering!” Lu Sizhou jumped in, taking out a round saucer from a waterproof pocket, “Get away! You are not allowed to get close to Miss Lu!”

Then Lu Sizhou ran to Lu Jing’s side, crouching down and whispering, “Let’s not bother with him.”
