"Ah, I'm so sorry to keep you waiting," Liang Wuxuan said as she gracefully walked into the pavilion. With a charming smile, she waved at the already present Twenty-Six. She lightly covered her alluring red lips with her hand and spoke in an apologetic tone. Her enchanting demeanor, combined with this tone, exuded an irresistible charm that made hearts race.
Although her words sounded apologetic, her expression betrayed none of that sentiment. Instead, her innate unique aura seemed to convey a sense of entitlement that was hard to resent.
"Oh, by the way, this is Olafsson from Reykjavik University’s music department. He plays the piano exceptionally well; everyone at school calls him the Piano Prince," Liang Wuxuan generously praised the handsome man beside her in front of Yang Xiaoyou, occasionally casting a mischievous glance at Yang Xiaoyou.
Her natural charm made Yang Xiaoyou feel an odd allure that was entirely unique to her style.
"Greetings to my friends from the East. It’s a pleasure to meet you all. I have long admired your country," Olafsson said elegantly as he greeted everyone with a courteous bow. His voice was warm and magnetic, and surprisingly, he spoke fluent Chinese with smooth enunciation.
This made it easy for others to feel a sense of familiarity with him. It seemed that his admiration for the East was genuine and not just polite words; he must have put considerable effort into mastering Chinese.
On the other side, Yang Xiaoyou stood up first and extended his hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you as well. I’m Yang Xiaoyou, the owner of this beautiful lady."
Perhaps in an attempt to contrast or to keep others from knowing what he was doing, Yang Xiaoyou chose to speak in Icelandic. The unique intonation of Old Norse surprised those around him; they could hardly believe that this unassuming young man had mastered such an obscure language.
His declaration of ownership caught Olafsson slightly off guard. Although Liang Wuxuan didn’t understand this obscure language either, she could read the expression on Yang Xiaoyou's face and grasped the general meaning through her understanding of him as her adorable Friend with Benefits. Her eyes narrowed into crescent shapes as she grinned widely.
For her, teasing her charming Friend with Benefits was the best form of entertainment.
"I'm sorry, but I cannot comprehend your meaning. Everyone has the right to pursue beautiful things, and I am no exception," Olafsson replied. While he clearly understood what Yang Xiaoyou was implying, he showed no intention of backing down. His tone sounded gentle but carried an undercurrent of tension.
Yang Xiaoyou subtly gestured with his hand before retracting it, seemingly wanting to protect his delicate, slender fingers that were as fair as a girl's, the ones he used for playing the piano.
"What are you all doing? Since Mr. Olafsson is speaking Chinese, why are you using a language we don't understand? Are you trying to show off?" At that moment, Li Zheng spoke with a hint of jealousy towards the fellow who had no remarkable qualities. The fact that he could master such a language stirred feelings of envy within him.
However, he quickly suppressed those feelings with his own inflated sense of superiority. What good was knowing a language he didn't? True strength lay in mental fortitude; everything else was superficial. Without this belief, one would merely be a foolish mortal.
"Nothing much. I just mentioned that I would be going out with the President. What's wrong with that?" When it was time to stand up for himself, Yang Xiaoyou did not shy away. While he didn’t boast about it, he made it clear when necessary that this was his situation.
"Going out with the President? Ha! The reason Nerds are called Nerds is not just because they lack ability but also because they keep deceiving themselves. People like Huang Wei are more suited for you; you should wake up," Li Zheng scoffed, a mocking expression on his face as if he had heard a hilarious joke.
"If it's Ming, then it might actually disturb you all. Since you've come to our school, we haven't properly hosted or organized any activities, which is quite rude. So I've been specially arranged as your guide to show you around," Olafsson interjected at the right moment, his tone polite and refined, completely different from Li Zheng's demeanor.
This left Yang Xiaoyou feeling somewhat speechless. He had originally planned to enjoy some private time with the Demoness and leave behind some strange traces everywhere. However, it seemed that plan was now thwarted.
Regardless, Reykjavik University was the host, and he still had to give them some face.
Well, it was just a few extra light bulbs; he could ignore them. Yang Xiaoyou thought shamelessly to himself.
"Greenland? Although there are indeed travel routes there and no visa required, our country's inland plateau scenery is also quite impressive. Both places have hot springs, but while ours may be smaller in size, there are more options available," Olafsson frowned slightly upon hearing Yang Xiaoyou's suggestion.
Iceland and Greenland face each other across the sea; tourists who come here often visit the other side as well. However, given the current timing, it wasn't ideal. Moreover, he wasn't as familiar with that place as he was with his own country. He might end up needing to hire a guide at the last minute, which would ruin his original plan of introducing the scenery while building rapport.
"I also agree to go to Greenland; after all, we have plenty of time left in Iceland and can organize a trip anytime. However, concentrated free time might not be abundant," Zhang Liang chimed in from the other side, surprisingly supporting Yang Xiaoyou's suggestion.
He had no interest in some of the attractions in Iceland. His original intention for coming here was to take a route through Greenland for self-training and self-transcendence. Having already been there several times, he didn't want to waste time on other places. However, as an exchange student, he was bound by certain limitations. Now that he combined activities and goals, it turned out to be quite a good option.
At this moment, he cast a wary glance at Yang Xiaoyou. It was hard not to suspect the other party's intentions since they had suggested going to Greenland before him.
Seeing the two people he didn't get along with wanting to go to that place called Greenland, Li Zheng instinctively wanted to refute them. However, before he could speak, he realized that Liang Wuxuan also agreed with this option, which left him unable to voice his objections. His words had undergone a complete turnaround, and he too agreed with the choice.
"Meeting your requests is my job. Sigh, going there now... Although it's not the coldest time, it won't be much better. If it were a tourist group, they wouldn't take on such work due to the risks involved," Olafsson said, revealing a hint of difficulty on his face as he saw their insistence. It seemed like he had made a significant decision by agreeing.
Wishing everyone a happy Lantern Festival.
