Chapter 361 - 328: Ever Heard of the Automation Major?
Chapter 361: Chapter 328: Ever Heard of the Automation Major?
Ye Ling was always the type of person who acted on his ideas immediately.
After getting Ning Ruoxi’s approval, Ye Ling looked up mountains near Modu on his phone.
After all, it was still during the school semester. Even though Ye Ling had applied for course and attendance exemptions, Ning Ruoxi still had some classes, so they definitely couldn’t be gone for a week or two.
According to Ye Ling’s plan, they would just find a nearby mountain to climb—preferably one they could make a round trip to within three days.
"How about we go to Misty Peak? It’s over in Pingjiang, not too far." After searching for a bit, Ye Ling handed his phone to Ning Ruoxi.
Misty Peak was very famous, getting its name because it was often shrouded in clouds and mist, resembling a mythical, ethereal fairyland.
"I think that’s a great idea." Ning Ruoxi nodded obediently, her face filled with a sweet expression.
She knew Ye Ling was very busy, but he was still willing to make time to go on a trip with her!
"My lady, the sky has grown dark. Isn’t it time for bed?"
Ye Ling casually tossed his phone aside, rolled over, and pulled the girl into his arms.
"Alright then, time for sleep..."
Feeling Ye Ling’s movements, Ning Ruoxi seemed to realize something. Her pretty face flushed crimson, and she quickly tried to escape from his embrace.
But...
The Little Fox Demon wanted to escape the palm of the Righteous Giant?
Brother Ling’s verdict: impossible!
With a casual reach, Ye Ling snatched the Little Fox Demon back again.
Speaking of which, the Righteous Giant had been exhausted with work lately, and thus his suppression of the Little Fox Demon had been somewhat lax.
Therefore, this battle was inevitable!
Ye Ling launched the first attack, a direct clash of lips. The Little Fox Demon was no match for him and was forced into a steady retreat.
Just as the Little Fox Demon was getting breathless, Ye Ling eased his attack for a moment.
"Ruoruo, ever heard of the automation major?" Ye Ling suddenly whispered close to Ning Ruoxi’s ear.
"The automation major?"
Ning Ruoxi blinked, looking at Ye Ling with a hint of confusion.
"I’ll teach you..."
A roguish grin crept onto Ye Ling’s lips, indicating he was about to teach Ning Ruoxi some new "knowledge."
...
About two hours later, the Little Fox Demon had finally grasped the basics of the automation major, and the Righteous Giant had finally turned in his homework.
"You big jerk..."
Ning Ruoxi lay bonelessly in Ye Ling’s arms, her whole body sore and limp, her pretty face bright red.
’As expected, I never should have trusted this bad guy!’
’Whenever he says something like that, it’s never anything good.’
"Hehe, you’ve worked hard." A smirk played on Ye Ling’s lips as he looked at the exhausted Ning Ruoxi, and he reached out to gently stroke the girl’s hair.
’Looks like practicing automation really takes a lot out of the Little Fox Demon!’
"Hmph! Hmph!"
Ning Ruoxi snorted lightly, expressing her dissatisfaction with Ye Ling, this so-called Righteous Giant.
"Go take a shower."
After a moment, Ye Ling whispered in Ning Ruoxi’s ear.
"Don’t wanna move..."
Ning Ruoxi mumbled.
The next moment, Ye Ling scooped her up in a princess carry.
What to do when the Little Fox Demon doesn’t want to bathe?
The Righteous Giant’s verdict: even a Little Fox Demon must practice good hygiene!
...
Nearly an hour later, Ye Ling finally carried Ning Ruoxi out of the bathroom. By now, the Little Fox Demon was plastered against his body, completely drained of strength.
So, this round was another victory for the Righteous Giant!
After all, evil can never triumph over good. Perfectly logical.
Ye Ling didn’t continue to bully the Little Fox Demon after that. He held her, snuggled into the blankets, and lay down.
The Little Fox Demon had used up a lot of energy, and the Righteous Giant’s expenditure was not small either!
"Bad guy."
Ning Ruoxi lightly thumped Ye Ling’s chest with her little fist, whimpering in protest.
"There, there, baby."
Ye Ling gently stroked the girl’s smooth back, as if he were petting a cat.
"Mmm..."
Ning Ruoxi let out a comfortable hum, her eyes starting to feel a little heavy.
It was probably because the great battle earlier had really drained the Little Fox Demon. Soon, Ning Ruoxi’s breathing evened out, and she drifted off to dreamland.
...
「The next day.」
The sky was a vast, clear blue, dotted with white clouds.
Perfect weather for a trip.
Ye Ling woke up early, and only after preparing breakfast did he wake the girl up.
He’d mainly considered how much he’d worn her out yesterday. They had a drive ahead of them today, so he wanted to let her sleep in a little!
"SLURP..."
Ning Ruoxi drank her millet congee. It was sweet and warm, dispelling much of the previous night’s fatigue.
Since the trip to Misty Peak would involve mountain roads, Ye Ling didn’t take the Cullinan, choosing the Maybach instead.
While the Maybach couldn’t compare to the Cullinan in terms of luxury, its bulletproof modifications allowed it to handle even rugged mountain roads as if they were flat ground.
At a little after ten, Ye Ling drove the Maybach out of the Modu City District.
...
"Tired? If you are, go ahead and sleep for a bit. It’ll probably take us at least two or three hours to get there," Ye Ling said, glancing at Ning Ruoxi in the passenger seat.
"I’m okay, not that tired."
Ning Ruoxi giggled, then tore open the bag of beef jerky in her hands. She pinched off a piece and held it to Ye Ling’s lips before starting to munch on some herself.
This just proves the saying is true: a girl has a separate stomach for snacks!
Along the way, the little minx polished off every single snack Ye Ling had prepared.
"Xiaoyezi, pack more next time. This wasn’t enough."
Ning Ruoxi finished the last pack of preserved plums, licked her fingers, and then looked at Ye Ling with a grin.
"Are you asking for it again?"
Ye Ling gave her the death glare.
’He felt this Little Fox Demon seemed to have forgotten what happened last night.’
Feeling Ye Ling’s gaze, Ning Ruoxi immediately shrunk back, ducking her head.
’Alright, fine!’
The Little Fox Demon hadn’t forgotten last night’s great battle; the memory still made her shudder.
Ning Ruoxi stuck out her tongue playfully. She stopped getting carried away and sat obediently in the passenger seat.
"Let’s listen to some music!"
Ning Ruoxi suddenly stuck a Bluetooth earbud into Ye Ling’s ear, saying with a giggle.
The black Maybach sped down the highway. Ye Ling watched the scenery retreat rapidly on both sides, the song Ning Ruoxi had chosen playing in his ear.
’The girl likes instrumental music!’
Ye Ling felt that the atmosphere at this moment was perfect.
You, sitting in my passenger seat, while I listen to the song from your earbud.
Sometimes, the joy of having someone special was just that simple and unpretentious.
