Chapter 503: Chapter 503: A Fortuitous Encounter (First Update)
Above the East Sea.
A luxurious cruise ship was slowly sailing by.
At this moment, the East Sea was calm and tranquil!
The sea’s surface was like a giant mirror, reflecting the white clouds in the sky, giving one the feeling of not knowing whether it was heaven or water.
Wei Ruyan stood at the stern, enjoying the cool sea breeze, staring at the white wake left behind by the cruise ship, and had become transfixed.
Just then, a petite girl approached her.
“Miss Ruyan, what are you looking at?” the girl asked with a smile.
Wei Ruyan didn’t turn around but pointed at the white waves, “Miss Noriko, look at those waves! That’s the realm we floral artists dream of achieving!”
Izumi Noriko sighed softly, “No wonder Miss Ruyan’s floral artistry is unparalleled in the world, even when traveling, you never forget to appreciate the beauty of nature!”
Wei Ruyan smiled slightly, “Nature is our best teacher! No matter how naturally perfect the floral artistry is, it cannot match the beauty of flowers that grow in the wild!”
Izumi Noriko clapped in admiration, “Has Miss Ruyan’s floral artistry reached the realm of returning to simplicity and truth?”
Wei Ruyan shook her head, “Not yet! It’s just a slight sense of understanding.”
This Izumi Noriko was a master of floral artistry from Country R, and she had cordially invited Wei Ruyan to perform floral art in Country R.
After a few more exchanges, Wei Ruyan excused herself and returned to her room.
Watching Wei Ruyan’s retreating figure, Izumi Noriko’s lips curved up, revealing a very sinister smile.
Unlike other cruise ships.
On this luxurious cruise ship, ninety percent of the passengers were girls, and each one was very beautiful.
These girls were all attracted by Izumi Noriko with the lure of free travel and the chance to admire floral art in Country R.
According to Izumi Noriko, only beautiful girls can truly appreciate the charm of floral artistry.
Wei Ruyan was staying on the top deck of the cruise ship.
Just as she was about to return to her room to rest, she encountered a girl walking with her head down.
They brushed past each other.
Wei Ruyan suddenly paused.
Because she found the girl’s profile to be very familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before.
But where?
Wei Ruyan frowned slightly in thought.
As the girl was about to turn the corner, Wei Ruyan suddenly remembered and couldn’t help but smile as she called out, “Young lady, may I ask if you know Mr. Xue?”
The girl stopped in her tracks, turned around and looked at Wei Ruyan, her youthful and beautiful face clouded with confusion, “You are…?”
Wei Ruyan smiled, “At Mr. Xue’s wedding, I think I saw you at the wedding banquet in Beijiang! My name is Wei Ruyan!”
The girl trembled, “So you are Master Wei; I’m sorry, I didn’t recognize you just now! Mr. Xue… is my brother!”
Upon hearing this, Wei Ruyan’s eyes lit up, and she reached out with a smile, “There’s no need to be so formal. Since you are Mr. Xue’s sister, there are no outsiders here. May I ask what your name is?”
“I… my name is Xie Jingjing!”
Ever since attending Xue An’s wedding, Xie Jingjing had buried all her feelings for Xue An in the deepest part of her heart and began to study frantically as if venting.
Soon, she had self-studied all of high school’s curriculum and had participated in several city-wide joint exams as a sophomore, ranking among the top each time.
But at the same time, her body and mind were on the verge of collapse.
She would often sit in a daze for an entire day or suddenly start crying while walking.
Such a state of mind terrified her father and Auntie Pang; they were afraid that their precious daughter would become mentally ill again, so they arranged for her to take a six-month leave from school to travel and relax her mind.
A few days ago, Auntie Pang happened to hear about the free travel promotion organized by Izumi Noriko.
Initially, Auntie Pang feared it might be a scam, but after some careful investigation and learning that Izumi Noriko was quite famous in Country R, and that many major corporations guaranteed the event, she was convinced it wasn’t a deceitful scheme. She then decided to sign her daughter up.
Wei Ruyan and Xie Jingjing chose a seat, eating and talking together.
The ship, which had been sailing smoothly, suddenly lurched violently.
The entire dining room started to shake violently as well.
Many girls screamed in fear.
Xie Jingjing turned pale, “What’s happening?”
Wei Ruyan smiled faintly, “We are at sea, it must be a storm.”
While she was speaking, Izumi Noriko walked in slowly with a group of people.
“Nor…”
Wei Ruyan started to greet her but suddenly stopped.
Because something was off!
Izumi Noriko no longer had her usual warm smile, but her face showed arrogance and… a killing intent.
Izumi Noriko clapped her hands and spoke indifferently, “Quiet, please! I would like to announce that we have reached our journey’s end!”
Have we arrived in Country R?
Impossible!
At this speed, it would take at least three more days to reach Country R!
Everyone was utterly astonished.
“Miss Noriko, are you joking?” a girl asked.
No sooner had she spoken than a black glimmer pierced the girl’s forehead.
The girl stood there bewildered, a bloody hole appearing in her forehead. After a while, her dead body finally collapsed to the ground with a thud.
