Chapter 230 Clingy Person
Jiang Liyue made an "OK" sign with one hand behind her back, and then waved her hand.
She was worried that Yan would be anxious once she went in, so she wanted to tell him in advance that everything was going according to plan.
Jiang Liyue knew that Yan, who was watching her closely, must have seen the gesture.
The persistent, burning gaze upon me is proof of that.
As for whether Yan understood the meaning of those two gestures?
Judging from the fact that she had already entered the principal's office, while Yan had not appeared, the answer is yes.
After Jiang Liyue stepped into the office, the door behind her clicked shut.
She pretended to be too flustered to notice, but in reality, she was carefully examining the office decor out of the corner of her eye.
An attempt was made to analyze the principal's personality and preferences.
The entire office was exceptionally spacious, with wall lamps emitting a soft blue glow. What surprised Jiang Liyue even more was...
His office actually contains many elements related to the "ocean" and "fish".
The oil painting on the wall depicts a fish staring straight ahead, the sofa has fish-shaped cushions, and there's even a fish tank next to it.
The fish tank was filled with water, but there were no fish.
Jiang Liyue assumed that based on the principal's attitude when he saw the little octopus balloon, he must be a marine creature.
Unexpectedly, the opposite was true.
Could it be that he simply dislikes octopuses?
"Let's sit down and talk first." The headmaster didn't notice that Jiang Liyue was carefully observing him and pretended to be gentle.
Unfortunately, his acting skills are really terrible.
Beneath the surface of gentleness lies a deep calculation and malice in his eyes.
Jiang Liyue thought of his performance on the float and knew that that was the true temperament of the kindergarten director.
But Jiang Liyue didn't expose his meaning. Instead, she sat obediently on the sofa, her expression showing a mix of apprehension and gratitude: "Thank you, Principal. I was so rude before, yet you were still willing to help me. You are such a kind person."
“Of course, I’m very magnanimous.” A hint of smugness flashed across his face. “Alright, alright, let’s not talk about that now. Tell me, did you really go to the aquarium? How did you escape from there?”
"After I received the reward from the park director, I thought of the aquarium, so I went there," Jiang Liyue blurted out. "Who knew it would be so scary there? There were so many man-eating fish, it terrified me..."
She recounted her experiences in a completely rambling manner, her tone sincere and her details clear, and the principal obviously believed her.
Jiang Liyue deliberately ignored the fact that the headmaster gave her the key to harm her, pretending to be a naive and innocent girl who genuinely regarded the key as a reward.
Judging from the fact that the headmaster is easily provoked and readily believes her lies, he is an oddball with low intelligence.
As it turns out, Jiang Liyue was right.
She continued, "Finally, I used the key to open the door and saw it deep inside the room..."
"You saw Him?" The headmaster's eyes widened.
"Of course." Jiang Liyue seemed about to cry again, saying how scary the other person was and how she managed to escape using the props.
The principal listened with great interest.
Finally, Jiang Liyue looked at him with a distressed expression and asked again, "Headmaster, will you really protect me?"
“Of course.” The director stood up, his expression certain. “How can that fish in the aquarium compare to me? It’s just a fish. I can handle it with a flick of my finger. You know, there’s no fish in the world I can’t handle…”
The park director subconsciously ignored the fact that he was so frightened that he didn't dare to enter the aquarium at all.
Since this foolish human in front of him knows nothing, he naturally wants to make himself sound more impressive.
Jiang Liyue was even more grateful: "That's wonderful! I knew the director was the most capable person in the entire amusement park, which is why I specifically inquired about your office and came to seek your help."
The headmaster raised his head even higher.
He now finds the human in front of him somewhat agreeable.
"Just stay here with me and I promise nothing will happen."
Jiang Liyue nodded vigorously, looking at him with gratitude, and then said, "I don't know how I can repay the principal for his help."
"By the way, I think I heard that you lost your precious item, Principal. Could you tell me what it is? Maybe I can help you find it."
After all that buildup, Jiang Liyue was actually just waiting to say this one sentence.
Otherwise, if you ask directly, you're likely to end up like those strange cases, getting no useful information at all.
Is it acceptable to portray a tourist who escapes from an aquarium, showers him with praise, and is filled with gratitude?
The headmaster, reminded of the lost child, visibly became agitated and paced back and forth twice.
The footsteps were very light, making no sound at all on the wooden floor.
No wonder Jiang Liyue didn't hear him make any sound before he opened the door.
Jiang Liyue's words were exactly what the director wanted to hear. Instead of mentioning the treasure, he asked, "Since you came out of the aquarium, have you seen anything strange?"
Jiang Liyue knew that the crucial moment had arrived.
She repeated, as if recalling something: "Strange things? But I think everything in the aquarium is strange."
"No, no." The headmaster finally revealed his purpose, "It's a blue gem that looks like a fish, that's my treasure."
Jiang Liyue never expected that what she was looking for in this dungeon was also a gem.
But if it really is just a gem, why wouldn't he tell the strange creatures in the amusement park who helped him find it?
A hint of doubt arose in her mind.
But his face seemed to show great conviction. After racking his brains to think it over, he shook his head and said, "I've never seen it."
"No, that's impossible. It must be inside the aquarium. It was stolen." The director said with certainty. "Since you were able to come out of the aquarium alive, go in again and help me find it."
"But I'm scared," Jiang Liyue said pitifully.
"Besides, didn't you tell me, Director, that I should stay here to protect me?"
“Of course I can protect you,” the director said firmly. “But you can’t stay here forever. As long as you can go to the aquarium and help me find what I need, I will help you get rid of this trouble completely.”
"This is definitely a deal worth trying, isn't it?"
Jiang Liyue nervously clasped her hands together, and finally mustered up the courage to nod: "I understand."
The headmaster smiled with satisfaction: "Good luck."
Jiang Liyue pushed open the office door and walked out, pretending to be calm.
The office door behind her closed again, and Jiang Liyue continued walking at a leisurely pace, as if she was hesitating.
As she turned the corner, without thinking, she threw herself into Yan's arms: "I missed you so much!"
Originally, I was annoyed by Jiang Liyue's conversation with the headmistress, whose eyes had grown increasingly dangerous since I hadn't seen her in so long: ╮(‵▽′)╭
He quickly hugged Jiang Liyue, who had rushed into his arms: "Yueyue, I missed you so much too."
Anyone who didn't know better would think they had just gone through a life-or-death separation.
In reality, the two were only separated for less than an hour, within a distance of no more than thirty meters.
