114: Chapter 114 This is what travel should be like!

At Moon Bay Ranch, the morning sun had already risen.

Light footsteps sounded on the wooden stairs of the villa. Liu Zijun, dressed in loose grey loungewear, walked out of Son Ye-jin's room looking refreshed.

Last night, Im Yoona had begged for mercy a bit too quickly.

He ended up going to Son Ye-jin's room after all.

Yejin leaned against the doorframe, wrapped in a matching knit cardigan. Her long hair was loosely pinned up, revealing her slender neck, and her eyes were filled with tender affection.

This man really is as strong as an ox!

When he reached the living room on the first floor of the villa, he immediately spotted Im Yoona curled up on the sofa.

The girl was wearing an oversized black hoodie with a hem that almost covered her knees. There were faint dark circles under her eyes, and her entire body was slumped into the sofa.

She looked as if all her strength had been drained away, her face wearing an expression of utter despair.

Meanwhile, Choi Sulli sat on a nearby armchair, holding a cup of hot milk. Looking at Im Yoona's state, she couldn't suppress a silly giggle, her shoulders shaking and her eyes full of mischief.

Liu Zijun walked over, sat down beside Im Yoona, and gently poked her cheek with his fingertip.

"Why do you look like this? Didn't sleep well last night?"

As if pricked by a needle, Im Yoona snapped her head up. Her eyes were full of accusation as she said hoarsely, "It's all because of you!"

At the thought of last night's 'social death' incident, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

She had dreamed last night, and her dreams were filled with Jessica Jung's teasing smile and her own embarrassing sounds.

Thinking of this, her toes almost dug a hole through the sofa.

Liu Zijun feigned innocence, though a glint of mischievous laughter flashed in his eyes.

"What did I do?"

"Who was the one who surrendered first last night? And even told me to go find Yejin and Jinri?"

Im Yoona's face flushed instantly, and she reached out to cover his mouth.

"Yah!"

"Stop talking!"

She leaned in closer, her voice kept extremely low.

"Last night... I thought I had hung up the call with Jessica Unnie, but who knew it actually connected."

"She definitely heard everything! What should I do? I won't be able to face her anymore!"

Liu Zijun pulled her hand away, looked at her blushing little face, and couldn't help but laugh. "What are you afraid of? Maybe she even envies you."

"Envies my foot!"

Im Yoona punched him in annoyance.

"She's definitely going to laugh at me for this for the rest of my life!"

Choi Sulli put down her milk cup, leaned over, and patted Im Yoona's shoulder, her eyes curving into crescents from laughing.

"Yoona Unnie, you're always the one bullying others. You finally have your day too~"

Im Yoona glared at her but didn't argue. Instead, she pulled Sulli's hand and started whispering to her.

Choi Sulli could no longer hold it in and burst into loud laughter, almost to the point of tears.

Im Yoona pouted aggrievedly and said, "You're still laughing! I'm about to die of embarrassment! It's all Oppa's fault!"

Choi Sulli couldn't stop laughing. She patted her chest and said, "Yoona Unnie, you're the number one troublemaker in the company!"

"You weren't afraid after causing so much trouble before, so what does this little thing matter?"

"Jessica Unnie will laugh at you for a few days at most and then forget about it after a while."

Im Yoona sniffled, the redness on her face faded slightly, and the spark returned to her eyes.

"That's true! Since it's already happened, let her laugh!"

"If Jessica Unnie dares to tell anyone, I'll definitely show her some 'love'."

However, those words were spoken through gritted teeth.

Liu Zijun watched the two of them bickering and playing with a doting look in his eyes.

Son Ye-jin had also come out at some point. Standing beside him, she said with a smile, "You, you just know how to tease Yoona."

Liu Zijun reached out to wrap his arm around her waist and said, "Then should I tease you instead?"

This caused the 'Son Fairy's' face to turn red.

They walked out of the villa to meet up with Victoria Song and the others.

The members of f(x) were waiting on the lawn. Victoria Song was communicating with Jack, while Amber Liu, Luna, and Krystal Jung stood to the side, their faces full of anticipation for today's activities.

After breakfast, Victoria suggested experiencing herding cattle and sheep on the ranch, which immediately received everyone's approval.

August, Alice, and the others had already prepared over a dozen gentle steeds. Alice came over personally to guide everyone onto the horses, patiently explaining riding techniques.

Victoria Song indeed had the potential of a ranch owner. She mounted her horse with agile movements and quickly mastered the essentials, slowly trotting around the lawn with a face full of excitement.

Amber Liu was not to be outdone, following the cowboys to learn how to work with the sheepdogs to drive the flock, learning with great focus.

Krystal Jung maintained her cool demeanor, riding at the back of the group. The wind blew through her long hair, and her eyes held a hint of contentment.

Choi Sulli and Im Yoona stuck together, riding side-by-side and occasionally playing around, their laughter crisp and clear.

Liu Zijun rode at the very front, holding the reins. He occasionally looked back at the girls behind him, a gentle smile always on his lips.

On the prairie, herds of cattle and sheep grazed leisurely while sheepdogs ran back and forth. The sound of hooves treading on the grass made a rhythmic 'da-da' sound.

Choi Sulli pointed at the distant flock of sheep and shouted excitedly, "Wow! So many sheep!"

The group wandered the ranch on horseback for over an hour, watching the cattle and sheep move slowly and feeling the vastness and tranquility of the prairie.

It wasn't until noon that they rode back to the living area.

After lunch and a short rest, Liu Zijun led everyone to the pier, preparing to head out to sea.

Although they had looked around for a bit yesterday, the time was short, and their mood had been spoiled by Liu Zijun.

Son Ye-jin sat on a lounge chair on the deck with a book in her hand, occasionally looking up at the man beside her with tender eyes.

Victoria Song and the others were studying the sea fishing gear, eager to try.

After reaching the fishing spot, the staff brought out the prepared gear and taught everyone how to bait the hooks and cast the lines.

Choi Sulli tried to imitate the staff, clumsily baiting her hook. The bait fell off several times, making her pout in frustration until Liu Zijun finally came over to help her.

They fished all afternoon and had a bountiful harvest; the deck was covered with all kinds of sea fish.

The staff cleaned some of the fish to prepare for dinner, while the rest were put into coolers.

As evening approached, the yacht stopped on a calm stretch of water.

Night fell, and the light strips turned on. Multi-colored lights reflected on the sea surface, making it exceptionally romantic.

Liu Zijun said with a smile, "The sea party begins!"

The music started, and the staff brought out a meticulously prepared dinner featuring fresh sashimi, grilled seafood, steaks, and various exquisite desserts and drinks.

Everyone sat around the dining table, enjoying the food while admiring the night view of the sea. The atmosphere was incredibly warm.

Im Yoona raised her glass and said with a smile, "Cheers! To a pleasant trip!"

This girl didn't look shy at all now.

Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them together, their faces full of smiles.

After dinner, the music became more upbeat, and the girls stood up one after another to dance on the deck.

Son Ye-jin also stood up and danced with Liu Zijun, her movements very elegant.

This yacht party at sea was much more fun than Choi Sulli and the others' pajama party.

They played until late at night before gradually quieting down.

Choi Sulli leaned into Liu Zijun's arms, her eyes full of admiration.

That night, everyone fell into a deep sleep on the yacht.
