Chapter 320: Chapter 150 Coquetry

Gu Jiuyue wasn’t particularly adept at coquetry.

Or to be more precise, she seldom engaged in it.

She was born beautiful and fragile, her elders eager to give her everything they could.

There was never a goal she needed to achieve through coquetry; simply asking would do, and 99% of the time, she didn’t need to ask twice.

If she encountered that rare 1% where it wasn’t possible, they would patiently explain why she couldn’t do it, and, due to her understanding nature, the matter would often end with her showing empathy.

So, now she wasn’t being coy, she was just making a request.

Su Huai immediately turned to look at Andy, who was following behind.

Andy subtly shook her head.

So that means it’s not possible?

Actually, Su Huai could have passed the buck to Andy, letting her stop Gu, but at this moment, she displayed a sense of responsibility that was different from her usual slick demeanor.

"Then we need to consult an expert, and if the conditions allow, I will accompany you for a swim."

"Okay."

Gu Jiuyue nodded happily.

And then she couldn’t wait to ask, "Who shall we ask?"

Su Huai looked around and quickly spotted the guesthouse butler who had accompanied them, a woman with dark skin but an excellent demeanor.

"Hello, Ms. Liu."

"Dear guest, how may I assist you?"

"I would like to know the water temperature near the coastline today."

Su Huai hit the nail on the head with her question.

Wuzhizhou Island has an average temperature of around 28 degrees Celsius in October, with about winds at level 4 and a maximum land temperature of 32 degrees Celsius today. However, the warmth of the land is not the main point.

What would determine if Gu Jiuyue could enter the water was the water temperature.

The butler shook her head and took out her phone, "I don’t have the specific data right now. Please wait a moment, and I will check for you."

Wuzhizhou Island has over a hundred captains, coaches, and diving experts, whose understanding of hydrology no other organization can match.

While waiting for her to check, Su Huai asked Andy, "Andy, given Gu’s health condition, under what weather conditions is she allowed to play in the water?"

Andy’s eyes were full of admiration as she replied conclusively, "If the water temperature is below 24 degrees Celsius, the air temperature below 32 degrees Celsius, or the wind surpasses level 3, it is not recommended to go into the water. It’s a real hassle if the young lady catches a cold. And the aforementioned conditions, combined with physical exhaustion, can easily lead to a cold."

Su Huai turned to Gu Jiuyue and said softly, "Did you hear that? Here are the conditions. If they’re met, I’ll join you in the water; otherwise, I can only accompany you on a boat ride or a stroll."

The breeze lifted her long hair, which brushed against her cheeks, making her realize it probably wasn’t going to happen.

However, Su Huai’s proposed plan was logical and set forth upfront, and she couldn’t refuse it, so she nodded, harboring a last shred of hope.

"Alright then... we’ll wait a bit longer."

Su Huai had already guessed what the outcome would be—her body was too fragile, the conditions too stringent; today was not likely a day for swimming.

Thus, he arranged his consolation in advance.

"We still have a whole four days, and then we’ll continue southwards, to deeper ocean islands. There will be a day without a cloud in the sky, with calm seas, where the passionate sun and warm ocean will offer you the most perfect first experience. And I will wait until then, accompany you to dive into the sea, greet the clownfish, take pictures with the corals, and maybe catch a lobster for dinner..."

Invisibly, his persuasive skills seemed to gain a +1+1, and Gu Jiuyue was immersed in the beautiful scene Su Huai painted, her mood soaring higher and higher.

She was deeply moved.

Not just because of Su Huai’s velvety magnetic voice, or his literary and extremely romantic phrasing, but more importantly, because of the "he is willing to wait with me," "to play with me."

A typical young girl couldn’t resist, and an unusual one was no exception.

Honestly, Gou Dongxi had thoroughly grasped the pulse of Gu Jiuyue.

With her, one must never mention material things.

All that nonsense about luxury goods, fashion sense, celebrity idols, money, business, future... it was all rubbish.

Talking about the future and career with Pei Shuyu could get her excited, to the point of wanting to sit and absorb it all, but Gu Jiuyue wasn’t into that.

Shared experiences and an attitude of never giving up were the keys to unlocking her heart.

A hundred per cent accuracy, every time.

"Really?"

She had already believed him, but she couldn’t help confirming it once more.

Su Huai nodded earnestly, his daughter’s resolute demeanor made him seem as determined as a revolutionary soldier.

"Of course, whenever you can go into the sea, that’s when I’ll go."

"Okay then!"

Gu Jiuyue couldn’t help but clasp her hands behind her back, twisting her upper body back and forth while letting out a contented hum from her nostrils.

"Then... when the conditions are nearly right, you have to remind me proactively!"

Hearing this, and observing her body language, Andy and Wu exchanged surprised looks.

Wow!

Wu: Is the young lady acting coquettishly?

Andy: Absolutely, she definitely is!

They had been with Gu Jiuyue for many years, but they had never seen her in such a state.

The usually aloof princess rarely acted spoiled with her dad, at most her tone would sometimes be slightly cajoling.

The scene before them was unexpected, yet it made them involuntarily smile.

Without seeing it with their own eyes, nobody could appreciate the destructive power of a coquettish Jiuyue.

Once witnessed... It’s all grins from us aunties!

As the members of the private team were making faces at each other, the butler returned, clutching his phone.

"Distinguished guest, I have inquired about the hydrological conditions for you: today, the wind speed over the sea is about 6.5 meters per second, the temperature at one meter below the water’s surface is 22.5 degrees Celsius, and the visibility of the sea water is about 8 to 12 meters. It is very suitable for going out to sea and diving..."

For the average person, indeed it was.

But for Gu Jiuyue...

"Thank you for the trouble, much appreciated."

Su Huai waited until the butler had left before shaking his head at Gu Jiuyue, expressing regret.

"Not today."

At the moment of the final decision, he was very firm.

Gu Jiuyue should have felt greatly disappointed, but due to Su Huai’s promise, she readily accepted the anticipated outcome.

"Okay, then let’s wait a little longer."

Su Huai grinned, "Alright, let’s call a tour cart, I’ll take you around the island!"

Gu Jiuyue threw in her pitiful conditional request, "I also want to walk on the beach..."

The impact of her acting cute made Gou Huai’s heart skip a beat, promptly surrendering, "Of course, later we’ll find a good spot to watch up close how those idiots in the class fling themselves into the sea and make a splash..."

Gu Jiuyue visualized such a scene and couldn’t help giggling delicately, her interest instantly peaked.

She grabbed Su Huai’s wrist, looking around eagerly for the tour cart, her normally cool demeanor replaced by rare vivacity.

Wu and the others followed behind, growing more and more amazed.

"Wow, Su and the young lady are such a perfect match, aren’t they?"

"It’s really magical; Mr. Gu couldn’t get the young lady to cooperate like this..."

"Indeed, the two of them get along particularly well."

The women gossiped quietly amongst themselves for a while, reaching a consensus—the two of them naturally had a CP feel, too compatible.

Moreover, it was a special kind of harmony, with none of that awkward tolerating and compromising, or the feeling of being forcibly pushed together.

The three women chuckled foolishly for a while until the young nurse suddenly shivered, quietly asking Wu, "Wait! Big sis, with the situation as it is, how do you plan to report to Mr. Gu?"

Wu was startled, and then her scalp exploded...

*******

It was time for vaccinations again, which meant another round of commotion.
