C12 Do not shed tears until you see the coffin
Seeing how Shi Roland was so persistent in following him, Zhou Pingfan's temper really hit the wall. This fellow looked like he wouldn't shed any tears even if he saw the coffin. His performance with Alec today was already the finale and he was already acting tough enough, but why is he still so unwilling to give up following them?
Therefore, Zhou Ping pulled Alec into the long boat without any hesitation. She felt that if Shrewd really had any doubts about Alec and her, after spending so much time together, he would probably think that she, Zhou Ping, really had the right to be called the 'flower lord'. So, she decided to obediently prepare to graduate and pack up and leave.
Everyone boarded the long boat, and along the way, Stone Roland rarely spoke, but most of the seniors that came along were also rushing over to prevent any accidents. Every year at this time, near the graduation of the Scholar class, there would always be some students who would be restless during the next few days after graduation, as their minds were not part of their minds, so it was normal for something to happen. Especially when these Scholars said that they were in love with each other.
Everyone boarded a long boat and entered the water's surface, which was as calm as water. However, the topic of conversation was rather remote, as most of them were talking about their seniors' future whereabouts, work, exams, and so on.
There was a lot of talk between Lan Xiaoliu and Zhou Ping, but for the sake of being 'natural', Alec and Zhou Ping sat together, while Lan Xiaoliu and the Alps sat beside each other. They looked like two blissful couples, making many of the Scholar grade students sad about the fate of Roland.
Most of these things could be said to be sorrowful when it came to a single person, so when people looked at Stone Roland, their eyes were filled with sympathy.
Thus, at this moment, Stone Roland was sitting alone in the stern of the ship, seemingly very calm.
In front of them appeared a few unique long boats. Unlike the long boats that Aleck and the others were riding, the long boats across from them were more streamlined and slim, with fewer people sitting on them. However, the people sitting on the boat in front of them caused the Alps to change color, and Alec's pupils began to gather.
On top of it was Vidala, Gul Dan and Karl's group, riding a boat that was clearly faster than them. The boat was probably driven by magic, so they didn't need to paddle artificially to reach it.
There were five long ships in total, so they all drew closer to them. They formed a circle and surrounded the long boat that they were on.
The faces of his seniors immediately changed. They had not expected the Disney Academy to openly provoke them. However, it was clear that the five ships had the advantage, so they were unable to react or make any moves.
"Hey, Alec, we should be old friends now. I can really meet you anywhere." Vidala and Gul'dan were the first to approach the boat. It was obvious that they were the leaders of this boat as they gave way to it. The faces of everyone from Colombia darkened. They knew Gul'dan on the boat, and they knew who he was. What was he trying to do by surrounding them with such provocation?
"So it's you again, Vidala. You're as ubiquitous as a fly." Alec chuckled as he looked at the two of them.
Gurdan's gaze had been on Zhou Ping ever since the ship had come over, and now, for the first time, he shifted his attention to Alec.
It was clear that there were a lot of people on the other side of Colombia. Although Zhou Ping's boyfriend was very courageous, if he publicly provoked him, the consequences would be dire. This group of people did not dare to do anything, they could just overturn the boat, and from a distance, they could laugh as they watched them fall into the water, struggling and losing face. That kind of disgrace only made the Scholars in Colombia shudder at the thought of it, not to mention the fact that it was winter and falling into such water, the cold was unforgettable.
To be honest, Vidala really wanted to make use of this opportunity to turn the boat upside down with Alec, and to instruct the people around him to flip it over just like Alec did, but he knew that Gul'dan had fallen in love with Zhou Pang, and if he turned the boat over, Zhou Pang would definitely fall into the water as well. He didn't have the guts to do that, but seeing Alec's carefree look, he hated himself to the core.
"To be honest, Alec, sometimes I admire your courage. For example, sometimes you're in a disadvantageous situation. You don't seem to understand your situation?" Vidara said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
"Oh, really?" Alec laughed leisurely. His smile sent chills down the spines of everyone around him. They were afraid that Alric would say something that could anger him. "But I'm still doing fine."
He looked at Alec with interest and gave him a wink. "Indeed, Alec," he said, turning to Alec, "but one can't be so lucky all the time. We'll see."
After saying that, the boat sped up, and Gul'dan gave Zhou Pang a meaningful look before leaving with the boat. The other four ships also left one after the other, as if there were a lot of underlings surrounding the leader of the underworld.
The group was finally relieved, and started to worry about Alec's future.
"I don't like that guy." Zhou Ping pouted and said.
"I don't like it either." Alec smiled faintly, and the light above his head began to shine.
Because of the fame of the Davy River Manor's dinner party, most of the guests wore formal attire for dinner. The period before dinner, however, was dedicated to the hot springs here, where the beauties would soak for an hour or two in the hot springs, wash away their fatigue with steam, and then eat in formal attire. That was the greatest enjoyment of their lives.
However, what made many people feel regretful was that the warmth wasn't because of the blended baths between men and women, but was because of their own places. At this time, many of the men who had long planned on bathing in the hot spring were disappointed and forlorn.
He hadn't experienced hot springs in almost six years, ever since he left his hometown at Pinkerton six years ago and came to the Purkinje School. He hadn't experienced this kind of immersing himself in the baths, even when taking a bath in school, he would still have to go to the bathrooms of the whole school, and it was basically all for the sake of the baths. And even if a bachelor dormitory had a person's bathroom and shower system, it wasn't something that could be considered a hot spring bath, so for the students of the Purkinje School, it could only be considered a luxury.
For Alec, who spent forty-five minutes in class, twenty-five minutes to sleep, the hot springs were an irresistible temptation.
Just as Alec was about to head to the men's hot spring in his underpants, he met Zhou Ping in the corner, wearing a blanket and a white hood. The men's locker room and the ladies' locker room were designed to be located on the second floor of the building next to the hot spring, which meant that after changing clothes, the men and women would have to go through the spiral staircase from the second floor to their own hot springs. Alec was the last one to take off his clothes and slowly walk out of the locker room, just like a tortoise.
Previously, the two of them had played the role of lovers in front of everyone. Even though they had discussed it beforehand, it was still rather awkward for them to meet alone.
Besides, this was the first time Zhou Ping had stood so close to a half-naked man. Alec's body was well-proportioned, and normally when he wore a wizard robe, it was impossible to see Alric's body, but now that he was naked, his muscles could be seen clearly. Thanks to the black education of his old man, Alric had to have the brain of an alchemist, and also a healthy body that could sacrifice his life for the alchemist cause.
Normally, when he saw Alec's body, Zhou Pang would jokingly stroke his shoulder and arm, by the way, "Hey, I can't believe you've grown some meat. Young man, nice figure!"
However, at this moment, Zhou Ping's cheeks suddenly turned red. At this moment, this strange girl seemed to be at a loss as to where to place her eyes. If she looked at Alec, she felt her face would become even hotter.
Alec's smooth shoulders were exposed, and Zhou Ping's slender neck was awkward. Alec slightly swallowed, especially the pair of legs that Zhou Ping revealed under the towel, which showed off a very attractive curve. Alec felt his heart tremble, he really didn't know that a demon like Zhou Ping would have such a side.
"Hey, where are you looking?" said Zhou Pingping, his face as red as if he had just been bathed in hot water, and his eyes misted over.
"Ah, this, the scenery outside is not bad. It is clear and cloudless." Alec was flustered.
