Chapter 64

Page Fourteen: Is there anything wrong with me entering the men’s changing room? (Added as requested)

Yang Qi smiled sweetly, “It’s not that impressive either; after all, chess has rules to follow, but reality is full of disorder and instability.”

“You don’t need to be modest. Most people can’t reach that level no matter how hard they try.”

Xiao Hai Tang interrupted Yang Qi’s self-deprecating remarks and turned to me, “Speaking of which, you still have two classmates who will be joining us, right?”

“Yeah, they’re heading to Water World on their own and should arrive before 10 o’clock.”

As I glanced at my phone, it was only a little past 9 AM. Since we had a dedicated car, we wouldn’t need to wait until 10.

Zhao Zhao also poked his mummy-like head out from the passenger seat, “Regardless of the school beauty, when did you become so close with that Iron-Faced Judge?”

I was momentarily speechless, looking away and making a joke.

What could I do? I couldn’t say, “Yan Liuzhuan invited me to his place and wanted me to undress, but he undressed first.”

The veteran driver, Feng Wu, skillfully maneuvered the Wuling Hongguang, weaving through the ring road with the same cool demeanor as the tofu delivery guy on Mount Akina.

Exiting the city filled with skyscrapers, the view suddenly opened up beside the elevated highway. Far ahead, a massive white egg-shaped building came into view.

This was our destination today, an enormous indoor water park called “Water World,” covering over 60,000 square meters.

“Miaow! We can see it!”

Orange, who had been clinging to the seat, now excitedly clung to the car door, her tail swinging like a wind-up toy, occasionally swatting me.

“It won’t take long. The elevated highway makes things so convenient.”

Leaving the elevated highway, we drove straight down a green avenue towards Water World. The closer we got, the more impressive the building became. It was a marvel how such a large hollow dome was supported.

When the Wuling Hongguang slowly entered the underground garage, Feng Cangyu, who initially showed little interest, couldn’t hide his excitement. She sat upright, putting away her game console.

[Lin Hua: We’ve arrived at the ticket counter.]

Coincidentally, as we walked up from the underground garage, I saw Tan Linhua’s message. There was no need to wait; we could go meet them directly.

The pedestrian exit was naturally near the entrance, so I immediately spotted the three-to-seven split small four-eyed glasses and Tan Linhua behind him, which surprised me.

Yan Liuzhuan wasn’t wearing his school uniform today, showing some common sense. If he wore his school uniform during summer outings, it would be too awkward. However, the dark red shirt… while it complemented his fair skin, it looked rather hot in summer.

But the biggest surprise came from Tan Linhua.

Why was I surprised?

Wearing a short-sleeved white shirt with an impression T-shirt featuring Mount Fuji and cherry blossoms, he paired it with black seven-eighths pants revealing smooth calves.

If you still don’t understand, here’s another detail.

He wasn’t wearing makeup, sporting a clean, handsome, yet masculine face, with his long black hair tied simply at the back.

That’s right! Today’s Tan Linhua was different, appearing in male attire, a rare sight.

Is this his way of reclaiming his true self?

I abruptly stopped Zhao Zhao, who was about to make a fuss, and calmed myself, approaching them with a composed demeanor.

“You guys arrived early?”

Yan Liuzhuan responded with a sour expression, “Not bad, didn’t wait long, and the air conditioning here is cold.”

His gaze swept across us, finally landing on Zhao Zhao.

Zhao Zhao noticed his gaze and shrugged helplessly, “Judge, even off-campus, do you still enforce discipline?”

“Even during summer break, you are still a student. Don’t forget that.”

Seeing his serious expression, for some reason, I thought of the teenage version of Yan Liuzhuan who enjoys being naked.

“Kai…” Lin Hua wanted to ask something but hesitated.

“This look suits you well.”

“Huh? Oh, thank you.”

This reaction suggested he wasn’t asking about my opinion on his outfit.

“In any case, just follow your instincts today and do what you want.”

“…Okay, I understand.”

Since Zhao Zhao and Xiao Hai Tang were behind me, I couldn’t mention the previous agreement, only encouraging them subtly.

Yan Liuzhuan must have heard it too, but he showed no particular reaction, as if the person speaking to me on the attic was someone else. Wasn’t it you who asked me to remove Tan Linhua’s mask?

“Hey! Why are you all just standing there? Plenty of time for chit-chat inside!”

Xiao Hai Tang had already passed the gate and stood by the ticket checker, shouting at us.

Ten people, five men and five women, stood out more than the smaller groups. Especially the girls in the group were quite attractive.

After walking a few dozen steps, before entering the changing rooms, there was a huge observation platform.

Turns out, this Water World water park itself was partially submerged underground. From this higher vantage point, the entire water park could be seen.

Sunlight filtered through the central glass curtain of the giant egg-shaped dome, illuminating the entire water park through mirrors.

There were pools of varying depths, rafting channels winding through tropical palm groves, high-speed roller coasters, and artificial beaches with sun umbrellas and loungers.

The most striking feature was the Ferris wheel partially submerged in the water.

This massive wheel at the northern corner of the water park, with its top near the dome and bottom submerged, provided the highest view within Water World, creating a unique underwater experience as it rotated.

Just watching it made one excited.

“What a spectacle! This is amazing. Thanks to Xiao Hai Tang for getting us tickets during the trial period.”

Zhao Zhao couldn’t help but exclaim, though his attention was more focused on the girls in swimsuits than the various water attractions… Even the most brutal hell (tutoring) couldn’t extinguish this man’s lewd soul.

Thinking of this, I missed Xiao Lei a bit, but she hadn’t appeared yet.

The entrances to the men’s and women’s changing rooms were on opposite sides of the observation platform, and these entrances led directly into the water park.

Xiao Hai Tang led Orange and her student council trio into the women’s changing room on the right.

I, Zhao Zhao, Tan Linhua, Yan Liuzhuan, and Feng Wu entered the men’s changing room on the left. Thankfully, Tan Linhua wasn’t dressed in women’s clothes today, otherwise, walking there would have been awkward.

I’m quite shy, so I changed quickly, wearing a military green camouflage beach shorts over my trunks because I found briefs too tight.

Zhao Zhao and Yan Liuzhuan, being carefree, just put on their trunks and were done. Yan Liuzhuan also brought a square waterproof bag containing a sketchbook and pen, suggesting he came here for sketching.

Feng Wu also wore beach shorts, while Tan Linhua not only wore beach shorts but also a sky-blue sunproof jacket, despite it being indoors.

Glasses aren’t suitable for water parks; they can easily fall off or get lost on the slides.

Without much hesitation, I left my “rustic large-framed glasses” in the locker and picked up the square, rustic diving goggles.

“Kai! No, Kai-chan, this won’t do!”

Before I could put on the diving goggles, Tan Linhua exclaimed nervously.

He swiftly took off his sunproof jacket and draped it over my shoulders, zipping it up. What was going on?

“Indeed, Chairman, removing your glasses, it’s better not to be bare-chested. It might scare people.”

Zhao Zhao surprisingly agreed.

Tan Linhua’s alarmed shout had attracted other tourists’ attention, and being stared at by a bunch of big shots made me uncomfortable, as if something slimy was licking me through the sunproof jacket.

I’m not a girl, why stare at me like that?

“Blip blip!” A whistle sounded.

A muscular staff member with bronze skin approached, whistling.

“I said… why is a little girl entering the men’s changing room?”
