Chapter 119 Yukimura felt that this big dog really needed to be dealt with.
The students from Hyotei and Rikkai were already immune to their nonchalant attitude; they simply exchanged a knowing glance.
Kirihara put down his game controller and ran over, his eyes full of curiosity. "Senpai! These past few days, when we've been training, it takes us at least three hours to reach the top of this mountain, and the path is winding. How are you planning to manage?"
Cilang also became interested, sat up from the sofa, and rubbed his sleepy eyes.
"Yes, yes, my legs were shaking so badly when I came down the mountain yesterday, and Kabaji had to carry me down."
Niou crossed his arms, his braid swaying gently. He exchanged a glance with Oshitari and Yagyu, and a knowing smile flashed in their eyes.
Niou stroked his chin and spoke slowly, his tone slightly teasing, "Puri~ Could it be that Ling is planning to personally carry the minister up the mountain? This plot overlaps with the male and female protagonists of that romance novel we read yesterday."
Shinobu rested her chin on one hand, a faint smile playing on her lips, and continued, following his words, "Wow, a pure love novel plot has come to life."
"Seriously, this kind of story—a moonlit mountain path, a handsome man by your side, carrying your sweetheart to the top to admire the moon—is quite something."
"That's certainly romantic enough."
Liu Sheng adjusted his glasses and added seriously, "The main road behind the mountain is equipped with streetlights, and the road conditions are flat and not too rugged. If you walk slowly and carefully, it's not dangerous."
Sanada immediately frowned, his expression instantly turning serious—a typical case of being overly romantic and completely disagreeing with the idea.
"No, even with streetlights, there are still hidden dangers on the mountain path at night. Carrying someone up the mountain is too risky; it's easy to fall and get injured if you're not careful. In my opinion, it's safest to stay by the lake and enjoy the moon."
Liu slowly opened her half-closed eyes, her brown pupils revealing the calmness of data analysis, and softly began to dissect various possibilities.
"Based on the physical fitness data, Ling's stamina is more than enough to carry Yukimura up the mountain. However, considering safety factors, the feasibility of this plan is only 30%."
"In addition, given Ling's chuunibyou personality, there is a high possibility that he would directly fly a helicopter up the mountain, but the terrain of the back mountain is not suitable for helicopter take-off and landing, so this possibility is only 5% and can be ruled out."
"The possibility that Ling has other secret passages is..."
"Alright, alright." Wang Yueling interrupted him, looking speechlessly at this group of people with wildly imaginative minds. "What nonsense are you all thinking? Come on, I'll take you to a nice place."
After saying that, he didn't explain any further, got up, grabbed Yukimura's wrist, and walked straight out.
Yukimura followed behind him with a smile in his eyes.
Everyone immediately became interested, put down what they were holding, and followed the two out of the dormitory hall.
Wang Yueling led them slowly along the peach grove path by the lake.
The peach grove was quiet at night, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind. Moonlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
The group walked slowly for about ten minutes, passing through a dense peach grove, when suddenly a magnificent and exquisite sightseeing cable car station appeared before them.
The station has an elegant architectural design and is surrounded by greenery, hidden among the mountains and peach groves. It would be impossible to find it unless you specifically went to this area.
The cable car cabins were made entirely of transparent glass, gleaming softly in the moonlight. A sign hung on the cabin door that read "For Wangyue Manor Only".
The students from Hyotei and Rikkai were all stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief.
They stayed at Wangyue Manor for a whole week.
Every morning they climb the mountain and in the evening they jog along the mountain trails, running back and forth until they are breathless with exhaustion. No one has ever discovered that there is actually a sightseeing cable car hidden here.
"Cable, cable car?"
Kirihara's eyes widened. He was the first to rush forward, pressing his face against the glass of the cable car to peer inside, stammering, "How come there's a cable car here?"
Jiro rubbed his eyes, thinking he was still dreaming. "Am I dreaming? We've lived here for a week and didn't even notice there was a cable car here!"
Xiang Ri pointed at the cable car, her voice trembling, "Then what was the point of all those times we climbed up and down the mountain for training?"
Marui covered his face and let out a wail, "My legs! I've been climbing mountains like crazy this week, my legs are about to break!"
Everyone turned their heads and looked at Wang Yueling with resentment.
Niou leaned on Yagyu's shoulder, his fox-like eyes narrowing. "Puri~ I should have guessed this would happen. No wonder he always miraculously appears at the top or bottom of the mountain whenever we have a mountain-climbing competition."
Yagyu pushed up his glasses. "Because of this, I once thought he really had superpowers, maybe even a teleportation array from fantasy novels."
Shinobu walked around the cable car, his expression complex. "Me too. I even studied his movement route, but I didn't find anything."
"Yeah, yeah." Xiang Ri nodded repeatedly. "Even Liu believed he had magic powers and even went to ask him for the secret, but he didn't get anything out of him and was tricked into running five extra laps."
Liu opened her eyes, opened the notebook she carried with her, and ran her fingertips across the paper as she recited her data.
"According to my records, Ling won 12 mountain climbing competitions in the past week, with an average time of no more than two hours each time. I always thought you had some special training methods, but I never expected..."
"If it weren't for Yukimura wanting to go to the mountaintop today..."
Yagyu shook his head helplessly, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "We'll probably be kept in the dark forever?"
Niou swung his braid, "piyo~ Ling hid it too well, a completely secret passage, fooling us all completely. He only favors the minister."
"That's right! Senior, you're so biased. The minister can take the cable car, but we can't. We always have to walk on foot. If we had known there was a cable car, who would have wanted to suffer like that?"
Kirihara puffed out his cheeks, huffing and puffing, his tone filled with aggrieved accusation.
Even the usually composed Atobe and Sanada looked rather grim.
Atobe crossed his arms, veins throbbing on his forehead. "Wang Yue Ling, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation."
Sanada's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked. "Too lax!"
"Why didn't you tell us?"
"If I tell you, will you still obediently climb the mountain?"
Standing next to Yukimura, Mochizuki Ryo, hands in his pockets, looked somewhat guilty under the accusing gazes of the crowd, but he quickly straightened his back. "Do you even care about the results of the physical training?"
Sanada took a deep breath. "So every time you wait for us at the top of the mountain, you've rested enough on the cable car before coming out."
Wang Yueling thought for a moment.
"Pretty much. Sometimes I'll have a cup of tea and some snacks."
Sanada's face darkened even more.
Wang Yueling raised an eyebrow.
"I'm doing this for your own good!"
"I make you climb mountains and do mountain training every day, isn't that precisely to improve your physical fitness and endurance?"
"Look at you all, after this week of training, haven't your physical abilities improved a lot? Akaya, you can play three full sets without getting out of breath now, right? Gakuto, has your jumping ability improved too?"
"Then why did you take the cable car?" Atobe crossed his arms, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Mochizuki Ryo with a hint of hostility.
"I'm the coach!"
Wang Yueling said matter-of-factly, "So what if the coach has some privileges? Besides, I need to get to the top of the mountain early to prepare water and supplies for you."
After saying that, he immediately turned his head and leaned close to Yukimura beside him, his eyebrows slightly drooping, his tone carrying a hint of grievance, just like a big dog that had been bullied.
"Seishi, look at them, they don't appreciate my good intentions at all. I've worked so hard for their benefit, and all they think about is slacking off."
Looking at his self-righteous yet coquettish complaining manner, Yukimura couldn't help but smile, while silently sighing with helplessness.
He finally understood why Mochizuki Ryou always managed to provoke public outrage.
This big golden retriever is really asking for a beating.
This needs to be properly addressed.
Just as Yukimura was about to speak up to mediate the conflict, he heard Mochizuki Ryo cry out in pain.
"Ouch!"
Wang Yueling subconsciously raised her hand to rub the back of her head, looking around in astonishment.
"Who is it? Why did they secretly hit me?"
He immediately looked at the group from Hyotei and Rikkai, thinking that they had been rendered speechless by his arguments and were now deliberately launching a sneak attack to retaliate against him.
The teenagers present all looked bewildered, exchanging glances and shaking their heads to indicate that it wasn't them.
Everyone was still immersed in accusing Mochizuki Ryo and didn't have time to do anything sneaky, let alone expect that a peach pit would suddenly hit him.
Kirihara scratched his curly hair, looking puzzled.
"It wasn't us. We've all been standing here without moving."
"We're not ready to make a move yet," Niou shrugged.
Atobe crossed his arms and snorted coldly, "I would never use such an unglamorous method."
Sanada frowned. "Who is it?"
Marui also looked around, wondering, "Could it be that even the heavens couldn't stand how annoying Mochizuki Ryo was, and deliberately threw a peach pit to teach him a lesson?"
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but chuckle softly, nodding in agreement, all feeling that this statement was exceptionally apt.
Just then, a few clear and melodious monkey calls came from the tops of the peach trees nearby, breaking the noise of the scene.
Everyone immediately realized that it was a prank by the group of little macaques that lived in the manor.
During the training camp, these little monkeys frequently appeared in the peach grove and around the courtyard. They were mischievous and unafraid of strangers, so we were used to seeing them.
Looking up, they saw several small macaques perched on the branches of the peach trees, watching them curiously.
One of the monkeys, missing half an ear, was holding a peach pit and wagging its tail proudly.
It's that "boss".
Wang Yueling looked at the little monkey and smiled helplessly.
"So it was you, you little rascal, bringing your friends to cause trouble and throw peach pits again."
The little monkey darted down from the branch and landed precisely on Wang Yueling's shoulder.
It affectionately rubbed its fluffy little head against Wangyue Ling's chin, as if greeting her, its bright, round eyes darting around, making it exceptionally adorable.
Mochizuki Ryo reached out and gently stroked its little head. He then turned to introduce it to Yukimura.
"These are a group of macaques that escaped from a private zoo not far away. These little guys are particularly mischievous, running around in the peach orchard all day long. They also like to throw peach pits at people for fun. We've been tricked by them many times in the past week."
"This is their leader, and he's especially mischievous."
"Seiichi, look, isn't it cute?"
Yukimura looked at the fluffy little monkey on his shoulder with great curiosity.
He was in poor health as a child, and his parents never allowed him to get close to small animals. As he grew older, he developed a love for tennis and devoted all his time to training.
This was the first time he had observed macaques so closely.
The butler walked up to Yukimura at the right moment, offering him a fresh banana with respectful and gentle manners.
"Yukimura-kun, these macaques are regulars at the manor. You can try feeding them; they're very friendly to people."
Yukimura took the banana and carefully handed it to the little monkey.
The little monkey tilted its head and looked at him for a while, then stretched out its little paw, took the banana, peeled it in no time, and ate it in big bites.
They look adorable and well-behaved.
After finishing the banana, it stretched out its little paw and gently touched Yukimura's fingers, while its tail curled around his wrist, as if to say thank you.
Yukimura's lips curled up slightly, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"So cute."
Wang Yueling tilted her head to look at him. "You like it?"
Yukimura nodded.
"You can come often in the future," Mochizuki Ryou smiled. "They're here every year."
The other macaques also jumped down from the tree and surrounded the group, obediently waiting to be fed, showing no signs of their wild ferocity.
As everyone looked at the adorable little monkeys, their attention instantly shifted from their accusations against Wang Yueling. They surrounded the monkeys, teasing and feeding them, and the atmosphere instantly became relaxed and joyful.
"alright."
Wang Yueling clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention. "Now that we're here, let's take the cable car up the mountain. Anyone else want to climb?"
Everyone shook their heads in unison.
What a joke! We had a fierce competition just before dinner. Who has the energy to climb a mountain for three or four hours?
Wouldn't it be foolish not to take the cable car?
Wang Yueling nodded in satisfaction. "Let's go then, we'll take the cable car up the mountain."
The group split into several groups and entered the luxury cable car cabin one by one. The little monkey also jumped in and obediently squatted in the corner.
