100: Chapter 100 I still love your rebellious side

Under the shocked or curious gazes of everyone, Sa Wanwan walked step by step toward the dining table.

Her head was lowered, and her long eyelashes trembled incessantly, as if she were enduring immense shame.

Then, to Li Taiping's astonishment, her knees buckled, and with a 'thud,' she knelt on the floor.

"Captain... I was wrong..."

Her voice trembled violently, laced with an obvious sob. Where was the stubborn pride from earlier today, that 'I'd rather starve than eat food given in charity' attitude?

The law of 'it's so delicious'—delayed, but inevitable.

Sa Wanwan kept her head down, not daring to meet Li Taiping's eyes. Large tears crashed onto the floor, spreading into a small puddle.

"I shouldn't have talked back to you, shouldn't have questioned your decisions... I'm just an idiot, a self-righteous fool..."

She sobbed, her voice intermittent.

"I thought reading a few books and knowing some survival knowledge made me special... In reality, on this ship, I'm nothing... I'm not even worth a fart..."

Li Taiping raised an eyebrow, inwardly clicking his tongue.

Good grief, this self-reflection is quite profound.

It seemed Su Mei's little classroom hadn't just taught her the rules, but had also given her a complete psychological reconstruction.

Sa Wanwan suddenly looked up. Her heroic face was now covered in tear stains, her eyes were red and swollen, and even the tip of her nose was red. She looked both disheveled and pitiful.

Her gaze lingered on Li Taiping's face for a moment before uncontrollably drifting toward the plate of glistening braised pork on the table.

Her throat bobbed again.

That was the most primal physiological instinct for food, impossible to hide.

"Please... give me another chance..."

She withdrew her gaze and prostrated herself even lower, her forehead almost touching the ground, her voice humble as the dust.

"Please accept me, acknowledge me... Tonight, please... please give me a chance to attend to your bed..."

By the time she reached the last few words, her voice was as faint as a mosquito's hum, and her entire body was shaking violently.

Shame washed over her like a tide.

But compared to being kicked off the ship and dying in the stomach of a sea beast,

what did this bit of shame matter?

As if fearing Li Taiping would refuse, she suddenly straightened her upper body and urgently grabbed his pant leg, her eyes filled with frantic pleading:

"I... I know yoga! I'm really good at it!"

"I can do many, many difficult poses!"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone froze.

The spoon in Yun Jinxin's hand fell into the soup bowl with a 'clatter,' splashing a few drops of broth.

Yu Tong's innocent eyes widened, and her mouth formed an 'O' shape, as if she had heard something incredible.

Chu Mengyao covered her mouth, her shoulders shaking as she clearly tried to stifle a laugh.

This scene... was quite something.

A formerly tsundere athletic goddess was now promoting her body's flexibility just to trade for a chance to stay.

Li Taiping was completely stunned.

What just happened?

Last night, this woman had an arrogant 'I'm number one, all men get lost' attitude. How did she become so humble today?

This attitude was a complete 180-degree turn!

Even after starving for a day, it shouldn't have come to this, right?

From the corner of his eye, he involuntarily glanced at the instigator of it all—Su Mei.

Su Mei was holding a wine glass, looking innocently at the ceiling as if none of this had anything to do with her.

But when she sensed Li Taiping's gaze, she playfully tilted her head,

lightly winked one eye, and sent him a charming, flirtatious look.

"..."

Li Taiping's cheek twitched.

Fine, no need to ask.

He could pretty much guess what had happened by now.

Su Mei was becoming more and more skilled and adept at 'training' others.

Back then, it took a full three days to handle Chu Mengyao.

With Sa Wanwan, it hadn't even been a day, and she was already broken in, even coming up with this kind of high-difficulty play.

Li Taiping felt both amused and helpless. He cleared his throat and decided to tease this newly 'reformed' crew member.

He looked at the kneeling Sa Wanwan, intentionally put on a stern face, and said in a very serious tone:

"I still prefer your unruly look from yesterday. How about... you go back to that?"

Li Taiping thought to himself:

I haven't even made a move yet. Did Su Mei go a bit too hard?

Hearing this, Sa Wanwan's body suddenly stiffened, and the color drained from her face instantly.

She thought Li Taiping was truly angry and that she had lost her final chance.

With a 'wah,' she could no longer hold it back and started crying pitifully.

"Waaa... Captain, I was wrong... I really know I was wrong... I won't do it again... please don't kick me out..."

This caught Li Taiping off guard.

Well, the joke went too far.

Seeing this, Su Mei quickly stepped in to save the situation.

She set down her wine glass, walked to Sa Wanwan's side, helped her up, and comforted her softly:

"Alright, alright, don't cry. The Captain was just joking with you."

As she spoke, she gave Li Taiping a flirtatious, mock-glare, her eyes saying:

Look at what you've done!

Using this out, Sa Wanwan finally stopped crying, but she was still sobbing, looking incredibly pitiful.

She seemed to have developed some kind of psychological trauma regarding Su Mei. She subconsciously leaned toward her but didn't dare get too close, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Watching this dramatic scene from the side, Yun Jinxin silently commented:

This family would fall apart sooner or later if it weren't for Sister Su Mei.

He Yushui felt a chill down the back of her neck.

Thankfully she hadn't been that stubborn back then, otherwise... she didn't dare think further.

But at the same time, an irrepressible curiosity rose in her heart.

What exactly was Sister Su Mei's so-called 'training' process like?

She remembered what Yu Tong had whispered to her in the afternoon—that while Su Mei was 'training' Sa Wanwan, some... very embarrassing and strange sounds had faintly come from the room.

What kind of sounds were they?

He Yushui's heart felt as if it were being scratched by a kitten's claws; it was itchy and very curious.

Meanwhile, Chu Mengyao mused silently:

Sister Su Mei is going further and further down this path, and getting more and more skilled. How terrifying.

But... good job!

The little disturbance came to an end.

Under Su Mei's guidance, the women 'voted' and unanimously agreed to Sa Wanwan's request to attend to the bed tonight.

Li Taiping rubbed his nose and thought:

It seems... I didn't really have a say in the whole process.

But... whatever, I agree.

After all, this athletic beauty in a tattered maid outfit, weeping piteously with her curvaceous figure, was indeed quite a distraction.

Most importantly, Li Taiping was truly curious about how many difficult poses her proud yoga skills could unlock.

Because just now, Su Mei had leaned into his ear and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Tonight, I guarantee it will be unforgettable for the rest of your life.

I've checked; Sa Wanwan's flexibility is beyond your imagination. There will be many eye-opening 'positions' for you."

Who could resist that?

As Sa Wanwan took her seat, the atmosphere in the dining room finally returned to being harmonious.

Everyone enjoyed the food and chatted as if the earlier interlude had never happened.

Well.

Except for the shy and fidgety Sa Wanwan.
