UPWR1BY **Chapter 543: "The Counterexample of Acting Cool: Wu Hengjian - Meeting You Used Up All My Luck"**

 **Chapter 543: "The Counterexample of Acting Cool: Wu Hengjian - Meeting You Used Up All My Luck"**


Although there had been the incident with the kidnappers, the cruise ship's itinerary remained unchanged. After being reassured, the passengers didn't clamor for a return. Instead, they were amused by the kidnappers' ridiculous behavior. Using water guns to rob was indeed a first.


The cruise continued its planned route.


After Ye Xiu and Wu Hengjian had breakfast in the dining hall, they went to the deck to get some fresh air. As soon as they stepped out, Wu Hengjian took a deep breath and exclaimed, "The air outside is so fresh!"


Having been tied up in a room for a day and a night, he almost thought he wouldn't see the sun again. Now, with the sea breeze and fresh air, Wu Hengjian's battered spirit finally felt a bit better. Ah, it's great to be alive!


With the fear of death behind him, Wu Hengjian began recalling the events of the past two days. He remembered all the times he'd tried to act cool but ended up being humiliated by Ye Xiu. His stubbornness flared up again.


Glancing at Ye Xiu, Wu Hengjian huffed, "Old Ye, you won at fishing because you were lucky! Today, let's compete at something else! Hey! Old Ye! I'm talking to you!"


After speaking, he noticed that Ye Xiu was unresponsive, just staring ahead. Following his gaze, Wu Hengjian's eyes lit up.


A girl in tight jeans and a white t-shirt with long flowing hair was leaning on the railing, looking out at the sea. Although her face wasn't visible, the side profile revealed by the wind-blown hair was enough to make one's heart skip a beat. Moreover, her figure was perfect. She was clearly a top-tier beauty!


Wu Hengjian's eyes sparkled: Ah, Old Ye, no wonder you didn't respond. You've spotted a beauty! Your keen eye is impressive! But hey, you already have Liu Wenyue! This one's mine!


Wu Hengjian pushed Ye Xiu aside.


Ye Xiu, snapping back to reality, turned and asked, "What are you doing?"


Wu Hengjian whispered, "Old Ye, you can't have your cake and eat it too! This one's mine!"


Straightening his collar and with a confident smile, Wu Hengjian strutted over to the girl. Ye Xiu had no time to stop him.


Wu Hengjian approached the girl and, with what he believed was his most charming smile, said, "Good morning, beautiful."


The girl turned and nodded gently, "Good morning."


Seeing her full face, Wu Hengjian's eyes gleamed even more. She was stunning! A top-tier beauty! How had he not seen her on the ship before? Heh, I knew it! My luck isn't that bad after all! The tide has turned!


Wu Hengjian was ecstatic. Since boarding, he'd been repeatedly humiliated by Ye Xiu, to the point of questioning his own life. He thought he must have stepped in something unlucky. But seeing this beauty before him made everything clear! As the saying goes: Meeting you used up all my luck!


Determined to win her over, Wu Hengjian introduced himself with a smile, "Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Wu Hengjian. You can call me Wu Ge."


Despite being humiliated by Ye Xiu earlier, he still had his charm and skills for picking up girls. Aside from Ye Xiu, he didn't believe he would lose to anyone else on this ship!


The girl, resting her chin on her hand, lazily nodded, "Oh, I'm Li Qilin."


"Qilin? What a nice name." Wu Hengjian had no idea who he was flirting with and continued his efforts. "Have you had breakfast? There are many fun places on the cruise. Would you like me to show you around?"


Li Qilin shook her head, "No, I'm waiting for someone."


"Waiting for someone?" Wu Hengjian was momentarily stunned.


At this moment, Ye Xiu walked over, "What are you doing here? I thought you went back."


Hearing his voice, Li Qilin's face lit up. She turned to Ye Xiu, smiling beautifully, "The case is closed. They all confessed. I thought it would be a waste not to enjoy the cruise, so I came back."


Wu Hengjian stood there, dumbfounded, looking between Ye Xiu and Li Qilin. In a dry voice, he asked, "You two... know each other?"


Ye Xiu nodded with a smile, "Yeah, old friends."


"That's right," Li Qilin stepped forward, hooking her arm around Ye Xiu's neck, and smiled at Wu Hengjian, "We've even pretended to be a couple."


Wu Hengjian: 

⊙﹏⊙∥

⊙︿⊙

(ó﹏ò。)

o(TωT)o...


He wiped his tears and ran away.


Li Qilin watched in surprise. Turning to Ye Xiu, she asked, "Is he your friend?"


Ye Xiu nodded, "Yeah, just met recently."


Li Qilin, puzzled, asked, "Why is he crying?"


Ye Xiu pointed to his heart, "He's a bit fragile."


"Oh," Li Qilin nodded, "Then it's my fault. I'll apologize to him later. So, will you show me around? I just got off the helicopter."


"Alright," Ye Xiu said, gently removing her arm from around his neck, "But keep your distance. My parents are on this cruise too."


Li Qilin gave Ye Xiu a meaningful look, "Oh~~~~~~"


Ye Xiu: "..."

RAAS **Chapter 2: Talent Show**

 **Chapter 2: Talent Show** Today was the day Li Qing would make his comeback after a year of being sidelined. Through Han Han’s relentless efforts, the company finally relented and allowed Li Qing to participate in "Star of Music"! This meant that today was Li Qing’s first public appearance after being away from the entertainment industry for a whole year. Of course, it could also be his last… If Li Qing’s performance was as disappointing as it was a year ago, he would continue to be sidelined indefinitely until his contract with the company expired. However, this opportunity was more of a desperate measure than a real chance to boost his popularity. Unless he could stun the audience and create a significant impact, his comeback would be short-lived. Given his previous abilities, the likelihood of Li Qing astonishing everyone was slim to none. Moreover, one of the judges this time was Zhao Wendi, a member of the former Fire Boy duo. This was a setup; the company had no inten...
