187: Male hormones are really getting high!

Watching Shen Aoshuang busy herself cleaning the room.

Zhang Yu didn't say anything, quietly watching her work while eating breakfast.

As expected of the cruise ship's General Manager, she was very efficient even with manual labor like this.

And she possessed a different kind of beauty.

"Oh, right,"

Zhang Yu said, "Once we reach Qizhou Island, I plan to disembark and take a plane back to Jiangcheng early. Please make the arrangements."

"Huh?"

Shen Aoshuang was bent over tidying the sheets when she heard him say that.

She couldn't help but be stunned.

The Boss was leaving the ship early?

Suddenly, an indescribable feeling of loss welled up in her heart.

The week-long journey hadn't even reached the halfway point yet.

"President Zhang, is the service on the ship inadequate?"

Shen Aoshuang recovered.

Then she said, "If that's the case, I will personally oversee your service."

Before Shen Aoshuang reached the position of General Manager, she had also worked her way up from the front lines.

Her professionalism went without saying.

"It's not because of that; it's due to other matters," Zhang Yu smiled.

"Lu Hanxiao and Su Mei from the other rooms will also disembark with me."

"I understand. I'll go make the arrangements shortly." Shen Aoshuang nodded.

Lu Hanxiao boarded the ship with Zhang Yu, so their relationship was naturally extraordinary.

As for Su Mei, the process of her later chasing the fugitive on the ship, and then returning to deal with the pirates, showed that she and Zhang Yu had known each other for a long time.

What she needed to do now was arrange all the logistical matters, such as booking tickets and contacting the airport for package consignment.

This way, the Boss, Zhang Yu, could travel light.

"Alright, thank you for your hard work."

Zhang Yu expressed his gratitude.

Shen Aoshuang tidied the room, then carried the empty, leftover plates and left.

Zhang Yu also tidied up a bit and walked out of the room.

Then he saw Pan Yuyao and Sasha, two girls, appear at the doorway.

It looked like they were looking for him.

"Zhang Yu, are you going back early?" Pan Yuyao asked.

She had seen the message Sister Xiao sent her as soon as she woke up.

She immediately came to Zhang Yu's room to confirm.

"Yes," Zhang Yu smiled.

"Your Sister Xiao isn't feeling well, so I've decided to end this trip early."

"I see." Pan Yuyao lowered her head, drawing circles on the floor with her toe.

Then she looked up.

"Then I'll go back with you."

She couldn't imagine how boring the rest of the trip would be if both Zhang Yu and Lu Hanxiao were gone.

"Sasha, are you going back?" Pan Yuyao turned her head and asked.

Since meeting, the two shared similar interests and personalities, and quickly became like best friends who had known each other for a long time.

"Me?" Sasha smiled, playing with her ponytail.

"I finally got out, so I'm going to play for a few more days before going back. You guys go ahead, and remember to call me when you arrive!" The expression on her face was very relaxed.

"Your cousin Su Mei also has to return to the police station early to report back. Are you really not going back?" Pan Yuyao asked again.

"Tch, my cousin is my cousin, and I am me. It's only four or five extra days anyway," Sasha said.

Zhang Yu felt a little uneasy: "Can you manage alone?"

I promised your dad I would keep a close eye on you.

"Who said I'm alone?" Sasha tilted her head playfully. "Manager Shen is still on the ship, so it's fine."

"Alright, I'll talk to Manager Shen later and ask her to take good care of you." Zhang Yu nodded.

"If you leave the ship, can I stay in your room?" Sasha asked.

"You can stay if you want. I can give you a fifty percent discount."

"Hmph, you cheapskate!"

As Sasha spoke, she squeezed past Zhang Yu and into the room.

"Then I need to see how comfortable this bed of yours is!"

Then, she flopped onto the bed and rolled over.

"Then take your time experiencing it. I'm going to pack and prepare." Zhang Yu and Pan Yuyao left the room.

Sasha faced the sheets.

Her nostrils caught the scent of a man.

The male hormones made her feel a little dizzy.

Then, she felt as if a piece had been scooped out of her heart.

"Zhang Yu, I don't want you to look down on me; I won't be your shadow."

Sasha thought stubbornly... "President Zhang, all procedures for boarding have been completed."

A few hours later.

The cruise ship docked at Qizhou Island.

With several hours available for sightseeing, many passengers disembarked to start touring.

Zhang Yu, Lu Hanxiao, Su Mei, and Pan Yuyao, the four of them, boarded the car that Shen Aoshuang had arranged.

They headed to the Qizhou Island Airport, preparing to take an afternoon flight directly to Jiangcheng.

In the car.

Zhang Yu looked through the window at the cruise ship anchored in the harbor.

He saw a person standing on the deck, constantly gazing in their direction.

Focusing his eyes, he saw it was Grace.

She was gripping the railing, leaning slightly forward and motionless, almost turning into a "Stone Gazing for Yu."

"Who is that foreign girl? She's so beautiful." Pan Yuyao looked out the window.

She could spot Grace immediately; her demeanor was clearly on a different level from the others.

Noble and beautiful.

"If I recall correctly, that should be a princess from a certain Western country," Su Mei said.

"No way, you know that?" Pan Yuyao's eyes widened.

"Did you forget what I do?" Su Mei smiled slightly.

"Before coming here, we had already figured out who all the important figures on the ship were."

"Are there any other important people on the ship? Tell me about them." Pan Yuyao also grew curious.

Before Su Mei could speak.

The car hit a pothole on the ground and jolted.

This instantly made her turn pale.

Instinctively, she looked toward Lu Hanxiao.

"Hmm?" Pan Yuyao also looked curiously at Lu Hanxiao.

"Sister Xiao, where are you uncomfortable?"

"I'm fine." Lu Hanxiao shook her head.

"You say you're fine." Pan Yuyao's expression grew serious.

"Something felt off last night, and it's still the same today. Sister Xiao, are you hiding something from me?"

"What could I be hiding? Don't overthink it."

"I don't believe you. I'm going to check on DEEPSEEK."

Pan Yuyao picked up her phone, tapped an icon, and was about to type her question.

The phone was snatched away by a large hand.

Pan Yuyao looked at Zhang Yu with wide eyes.

"Don't play on your phone in the car. It's too bumpy, and it's bad for your eyesight."

Zhang Yu smiled faintly, then slipped Pan Yuyao's phone into his pants pocket.

The entire process was seamless.

"Ah?" She felt like something was wrong.

But she couldn't afford to throw a tantrum, especially since everyone else in the car had a greater status than her.

She was just a small-fry character (a 'xiaokalamei').

She could only puff out her cheeks angrily, rest her chin on her hand, and look at the street scenery outside.
