Time Travel: The Heroine Has Arrived!-Chapter 1573: Other People’s "Mermaid" vs. Competitive Villain (62)
Mermaid School.
A floating car stopped here.
Today marks the end of the school’s monthly holiday, and naturally, many mermaids are being sent back to school by their families.
Old Jack sat leisurely in his little deck chair, squinting in the sun, when he suddenly felt the hairs on his body stand up.
This is a reaction to encountering a top-tier expert!
Old Jack pretended to be nonchalant as he turned his head to take a look.
That glance left him stunned.
From under an otherwise ordinary-looking floating car, emerged a man with a face that no one in the Empire would mistake.
Raymond got out of the car and personally opened the door for Gu Shengyin—even though, with current technology, the car door could easily open automatically.
But Raymond preferred this gesture, rooted in Ancient Blue Planet traditions.
He felt it better demonstrated his respect for his fiancée.
Old Jack watched as the mermaid stepped out of the car, oh, it’s Tiana, who frequently greets him and has a cheerful smile.
Right, she seems to be His Excellency Marshal Raymond’s fiancée now.
Old Jack lay back, slowly reminiscing about the news he had seen a few days ago.
It’s said that the Raymond family had been preparing all along, just waiting for Tiana to graduate so they could marry.
Due to the mermaid school’s regulations, Raymond did not enter the school.
Old Jack could hear him giving instructions to the little mermaid.
Old Jack smiled knowingly; young people, just starting their relationship, it’s natural to find parting hard.
He completely understood. Wasn’t it the same with him and his wife back in the day?
Having said all he needed to, Raymond gently kissed Gu Shengyin on the forehead: "I’ll come to pick you up at the end of the month."
Since that piece of news, the Leonard family had fully accepted this son-in-law, and picking up Gu Shengyin had mostly become Raymond’s responsibility.
This also counted as cultivating their relationship.
Soon after, Old Jack heard a cheerful girl’s voice: "Good afternoon, Grandpa Jack."
Old Jack beamed, waved his hand at her, and watched as the girl’s figure moved away.
Almost unintentionally glancing back, he saw the Empire Marshal quietly standing at the school gate, intensely watching that white figure. It seemed he wouldn’t leave until she disappeared from his view.
Seeming to sense Old Jack’s gaze, Raymond’s eyes glanced over at him.
He didn’t speak, just slightly nodded.
Old Jack merely grinned in return.
A polite and kind-hearted girl is always bound to have good fortune.
Old Jack muttered to himself.
Tiana and His Excellency the Marshal will surely be happy, right?
...
Time passed quickly.
The days at Mermaid School were no different than usual.
If something must be said, it’s that everyone knew this was the last stretch of time together. As classmates met, they would exchange smiles, occasionally arranging to have a meal together. The relationships indeed improved compared to before.
Some who matured earlier were already beginning to learn how to "socialize" within their family circles.
For example, everyone knew the prospective Marshal’s wife, Gu Shengyin, had become a target everyone sought to win over.
Gu Shengyin felt a bit saddened by these changes, but she was keenly aware that it was inevitable.
Lucky for her, she didn’t need to overthink things, continuing to maintain good relationships with those she was already close with.
For those she was casually acquainted with, keeping things as calm as water was still best.
