Chapter 57 Chasing Shui Bing'er_1

```

"Bing'er, where are you taking me?" Xu Ran asked with a smile, watching the young girl who kept her head down and kept walking.

It was time to draw the net.

As an Aquaman, when he dived into the sea, he had cast a wide net, and now it was time to gather it.

Once he caught up with Shui Bing'er, his mission at Tianshui College would be fulfilled, and it was time for him to head back.

If he didn't return after being away for so long, there might be problems. Even though he had told Zhu Qing and the others that he would be away for a while, they would probably still worry.

Anyway, Tianshui College wasn't far from Tiandou City, and once Shrek Academy moved to Tiandou City, he would have plenty of opportunities to visit Tianshui College.

"Ah? Teacher Xu Ran? Did we walk too far? I'm sorry, I..." Shui Bing'er looked up in a panic, her pretty face blushing, glancing around and feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"It's fine, let's just take a walk. After all, your current training is relatively light, let's tour the campus. I haven't really had a chance to see your school since I've been here," Xu Ran said, holding Shui Bing'er's small hand tightly.

"Oh, okay." Shui Bing'er nodded slightly, her heart racing a bit as Xu Ran held her hand.

Shui Bing'er, dressed in a pure white, tight-fitting sportswear, stood hand-in-hand with Xu Ran, who was wearing a black robe. Together, they looked like a real couple.

Even Shui Bing'er couldn't help but get lost in the fantasy.

At that moment, Shui Bing'er didn't say much, letting Xu Ran hold her hand as she lowered her head like a little girl, kicking the stones under her feet, watching the silhouettes of Xu Ran and her cast by the sun.

The two black shadows, also holding hands, grew larger, smaller, and slimmer with their movements in the sun...

Xu Ran and Shui Bing'er walked on the small path beside the central lake of Tianshui College.

Tianshui College was built by a lake, which also served as its mimicry cultivation area.

Most of the students at Tianshui College had water or ice attributes, and such large bodies of water greatly aided their cultivation. One of the most important infrastructures of an excellent academy is the mimicry cultivation environment.

After a while, the two stopped at a grassy spot by the lake.

"Teacher Xu Ran..." Shui Bing'er looked at the handsome man in front of her, opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

"Don't speak." Xu Ran gazed at the charming and cute young girl in front of him, cradled her beautiful face in his hands, and kissed her deeply.

A kiss is the language between lovers.

"Mmm." Shui Bing'er's heart trembled slightly, clearly overwhelmed by Xu Ran's direct kiss. The shyness of a young girl made her want to break away from it all.

But she couldn't bring herself to do it.

Feeling Xu Ran's passion, Shui Bing'er slowly let go of all her concerns and obsessions. Gradually, she wrapped her arms around Xu Ran's neck, and the two by the lake of Tianshui formed a stunningly beautiful scene.

```

The young girl, clad in white attire, had her aqua blue hair spread out, an epitome of delicate and alluring beauty. The young man, wearing a black robe with black hair and boots, exuded a dashing and solitary charm that was equally eye-catching.

While kissing, Xu Ran hooked Shui Bing'er's long legs, and the two fell backward onto the lawn.

"Teacher Xu Ran..." After a lengthy kiss, their lips parted. Shui Bing'er lay flat on the grass, while Xu Ran propped himself up with his hands next to her fragrant shoulders, gazing intensely into her eyes.

After all, Shui Bing'er was still a young girl, with a countenance thin-skinned and easily flustered by Xu Ran's intense scrutiny. Her delicate cheeks had turned scorching hot, and her heart raced so violently it felt as if it would leap out of her slender frame.

"Still calling me teacher?" The corners of Xu Ran's mouth lifted. Was this girl not yet able to let go, even now?

"Xu Ran." Shui Bing'er's eyes seemed a bit dazed as she tenderly called out Xu Ran's name. With that call, the last of the chains in her heart crumbled away.

Given Xu Ran's excellence, it was impossible for Shui Bing'er to claim she felt no stir of emotion toward him. Not just Shui Bing'er but even the Tian Shui Battle Team, and most of Tianshui College, harbored special feelings for Xu Ran.

But the vast majority knew the gulf between themselves and Xu Ran, burying these tender feelings deep within their hearts. Only a few bold girls like Shui Yue'er dared to express themselves.

Xu Ran's repeated flirtations slowly fanned into life the spark of affection in Shui Bing'er's heart, growing from a whisper to a torrent that could no longer be suppressed.

Not even Shui Miao, a mature and worldly woman, could have withstood Xu Ran's relentless enticements.

"Bing'er." Xu Ran smiled, looking down at the girl beneath him, and kissed her snowy neck with purpose. He knew that from then on, in Shui Bing'er's heart, there would only be room for him.

No one else could ever breach the sanctum of her heart again.

...

An hour or two passed, and Xu Ran and Shui Bing'er still lay together on the lawn.

Shui Bing'er stretched out her legs on her own accord, letting Xu Ran lie on top of her to bask in the sun and doze, while she twirled his ink-like long hair around her fingers.

"Xu Ran, about you and Yue'er..." Shui Bing'er couldn't help but inquire, having sensed the recent change in Shui Yue'er. As her sister, she understood Shui Yue'er's nature more than anyone.

The fleeting happiness that Shui Yue'er couldn't hide at the corners of her brows gave her away.

Observing these quirks in Shui Yue'er led Shui Bing'er to surmise that something must have happened between her and Xu Ran. It was highly plausible that they'd even crossed the ultimate boundary.

It was for this reason that she kept her feelings for Xu Ran buried deep in her heart, never daring to voice them.

She had thought that her life would continue in such a manner, but who could have expected things to change this way? While she was feeling fortunate, there was also a deep undercurrent of worry.

"Yue'er is the same as you, both are my dearest beloveds," Xu Ran said, his lips curving upward, completely oblivious to how shameless his words were. After all, the two girls, although not blood-related sisters, had grown up together, as close as any siblings could be.

"It's all your fault, too greedy. One isn't enough for you; you want both," Shui Bing'er felt an embarrassed irritation, punching Xu Ran's chest lightly with her small fists. But it didn't hurt; instead, it seemed more like a playful complaint.

"How can you blame me when you sisters are so beautiful? Besides, this way, you don't have to be apart from each other; isn't that wonderful?" Xu Ran laughed heartily. He admitted to himself that he was shameless, but it couldn't be helped. Without some shamelessness, one would miss out on many a view and be left only with regret.
