"What's the meaning?"
“Deep-sea fish generally suffer from vision deterioration because they don’t see sunlight for long periods of time,” Raymond said seriously. “Cod, on the other hand, live in shallow waters and have normal vision.”
Listening to his words and recalling the effect of his Word of Power: Blazing Sun, Gu Ran roughly understood the meaning of the code name.
"So, with my current abilities, can I find out the inside story of my mother's death?" Gu Ran asked.
This is something he has always cared about.
Raymond shook his head with a wry smile: "Asking me is useless. I don't know anything about this either. The Operations Department is investigating, but the results are with the principal."
He continued, "What I do know is that your mother comes from a mixed-race family in China. As for which faction she belongs to, I don't know. Families in China are very mysterious. They like to meddle in other people's business, but they don't like other people to meddle in their business."
Gu Ran pondered silently, never expecting that she had such a background.
"Anyway, you should ask the principal about this in person later, and he will answer you." Raymond put his arm around Gu Ran's shoulder and patted him gently.
……
Over the next few days, Gu Ran kept packing his luggage; he had a lot of things to bring.
It is said that the cafeteria at Kassel College serves German food, and Germany is known as a culinary wasteland.
Therefore, Gu Ran planned to prepare more domestic seasonings and bring a wok with her.
He didn't buy many daily necessities, but Su Xiaoqiang was worried that he wouldn't be used to them, so she prepared a lot for him.
For example, we made many suits and tuxedos for him and prepared several pairs of designer leather shoes.
There were also belts, watches, designer bags... all sorts of accessories were prepared for him, one set after another.
Gu Ran couldn't refuse even if she wanted to.
In Su Xiaoqiang's words, my boyfriend can't embarrass himself when he goes out.
It made his trip abroad feel like moving house, with one piece of luggage after another, almost overflowing the living room of his large apartment.
Fortunately, he has a spirit scroll that can seal things inside, so it won't be a hassle to carry around.
Making the scroll takes time, so these days he's been busy at home, sealing the luggage into the spirit scroll.
……
The afternoon before departure, at Su Xiaoqiang's villa.
After lunch, Gu Ran had just finished meditating when Su Xiaoqiang mysteriously pulled her into her bedroom.
Su Xiaoqiang's bedroom is very large, about 30 square meters.
"What's up?" Gu Ran asked, sitting at his desk.
Su Xiaoqiang was wearing a white spaghetti strap dress. She covered her face and first glanced shyly at Gu Ran.
Then she locked the door from the inside and drew the curtains.
Gu Ran stared at her pretty face and said, "You wouldn't be thinking of..."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Xiaoqiang lifted the two shoulder straps of her dress, and the white dress slid naturally down to the ground along her tall figure.
She was wearing a red bikini swimsuit, which accentuated her fair skin, and she boldly displayed her figure in front of Gu Ran.
Gu Ran watched quietly. Su Xiaoqiang blushed, walked to his side, bent down in front of him, and opened a drawer next to him.
Then, she took a DSLR camera out of the drawer and handed it to Gu Ran.
Gu Ran, holding the camera, was somewhat confused: "What does this mean?"
“Equivalent exchange…” she whispered shyly.
Gu Ran then remembered what he had said to her by the pool that day.
That day, Su Xiaoqiang took pictures of him by the pool, and he told her that it had to be an equal exchange, and he couldn't let her take pictures for nothing.
It was originally just a joke between boyfriend and girlfriend.
But she took it seriously.
“I’ve taken so many pictures of you, so you should take pictures of me too.” Su Xiaoqiang stood in front of her boyfriend, her hands behind her back, her chest slightly puffed out.
Su Xiaoqiang has a really good figure. She doesn't have an ounce of fat on her body, her frame isn't big, her waist is very thin, she has a curvy figure, and she also has a pair of long legs.
Those long, slender, fair legs stood straight, their delicate calf muscles taut, seemingly as tense as her current mood.
If Su Xiaoqiang were to cosplay an anime character, Gu Ran would most like to see Rin Tohsaka.
Her long legs must be the closest to Rin Tohsaka's beautiful legs.
Gu Ran held the camera but didn't take any pictures. He just smiled quietly and admired his girlfriend's figure.
He suddenly said, "Is this the only swimsuit you have? You've photographed several of my swimsuits before."
"I knew you'd say that!" Su Xiaoqiang pouted and then opened her wardrobe.
There are more than ten swimsuits in the wardrobe, in various colors and styles.
Strapless, strappy, one-piece... they even have school swimsuits!
"Here, you choose," Su Xiaoqiang said softly, her face flushed.
Gu Ran put down his camera, looked at her and smiled, "Come here first."
Su Xiaoqiang took small, quick steps and obediently walked to her boyfriend's side.
Gu Ran sat in the chair and suddenly put his arm around her waist, pressing his cheek against her soft belly.
Su Xiaoqiang blushed and affectionately ruffled her boyfriend's hair.
Gu Ran held her in his arms for a long time.
Su Xiaoqiang asked, "Aren't you going to take pictures?"
"I won't take pictures." Gu Ran put his arm around her slender waist. "I'll just remember it."
He pinched the soft flesh around her waist, looked up at his girlfriend's flushed face, and said, "From now on, I won't allow you to wear this swimsuit in front of other people."
"...You're so domineering!"
Upon hearing her boyfriend's command, Su Xiaoqiang sweetly tapped his head with her hand.
Gu Ran smiled at her and said, "Although I don't take pictures... I'd like to see a swimsuit show. Could you all change into them?"
“…Mmm.” Su Xiaoqiang responded softly, her voice barely audible.
"Then...should we change into the black lace-up one first?"
"Okay...I'm going to change...turn around."
"When you took my picture, I was only wearing swim trunks, right?"
"……Correct."
"So when you change your clothes, I don't need to turn around. This is my exclusive perk."
"..."
That afternoon, Gu Ran memorized his girlfriend's figure.
Chapter 86 Lu Mingfei's Foolish Guide to College Admission
On the low-cost carrier's plane, Gu Ran and Lu Mingfei sat together.
I don't know how Norma booked the ticket; she booked a budget airline, so the seat was incredibly cramped.
The plane is expected to take thirteen hours to cross the vast Pacific Ocean and land on the west coast of America, the beacon of freedom and democracy.
After landing in Los Angeles, the two had to transfer to another flight to Chicago, near the Great Lakes in the north.
Unfortunately, these days, no low-cost carrier in the US has launched direct flights from China to Chicago.
"Gu Ran, although Su Xiaoqiang asked me to take good care of you when we parted at the airport, I know she was just being polite. How could I possibly take care of you? You're the one who should be taking care of me!"
From the moment they arrived at the airport, Lu Mingfei clung to the hem of Gu Ran's T-shirt, as if afraid he would get lost.
The copy of "Kassel College Admission for Fools (Lu Mingfei Edition)" that he received from Norma contained only ten words:
Follow Gu Ran closely, and don't get separated.
It must be said that although the contents of this guide are short and funny, they are very practical.
As long as he stays by Gu Ran's side, Lu Mingfei doesn't need to use his brain at all. He doesn't even need to look at road signs; he can just follow him.
So he acted like a younger brother, constantly tugging at Gu Ran's clothes.
When they went through border control, the border control officer in charge of the inspection thought that Lu Mingfei was a minor or had an intellectual disability, and that Gu Ran was his guardian.
The border inspection officer stared at him for a long time before confirming that he wasn't mentally challenged, and then hesitantly stamped his passport with the exit stamp.
Even after Lu Mingfei boarded the plane, he still refused to let go.
What if you disappear halfway through?
Gu Ran was both amused and exasperated: "The plane was over the Pacific Ocean for most of the journey, where could I possibly disappear to?"
Lu Mingfei thought about it and felt it made sense, so he gave up.
"How much money did your aunt give you for travel expenses?"
"Eight hundred cuts!"
"Wow, she's really willing to spend that much?"
Lu Mingfei smiled and said, "Ever since I brought home the grilled fish you gave me last time, my aunt has been very nice to me lately, and she's given me a lot more pocket money."
Gu Ran took out his laptop and a 3.5mm headphone splitter, which could connect two pairs of headphones at the same time.
He asked Lu Mingfei, "Want to watch an anime series together?"
"Okay." The flight would take more than ten hours, and Lu Mingfei was wondering how to pass the time.
If Lu Mingfei and Gu Ran shared a common interest, it would be anime series.
Lu Mingfei asked, "Which anime series did you download?"
"A Certain Magical Index, K-ON!, Toradora!, and two seasons of Minami-ke." Gu Ran opened the folder for Lu Mingfei to choose from.
"Let's watch 'Minami-ke' first." Lu Mingfei knew it was a slice-of-life anime, something light and easy to watch.
