The next day.
The sea breeze blew.
The sun was just right.
Meng Hao woke up from his large bed, more than two meters long… dressed in pajamas.
It was obvious that as a paragon of never losing his virtue after drinking, any alcohol in Meng Hao’s system beyond a certain amount would immediately render him unconscious.
As for whether Luna harbored any inappropriate thoughts after he got drunk… or even acted upon them, Meng Hao had no way of knowing.
However.
He vaguely recalled wearing a suit before he got drunk, and now he was in loose pajamas.
It seemed Luna must have been the one who changed his clothes.
He got out of bed.
He watched television for a few minutes.
The boring plot left Meng Hao feeling rather uninspired.
He looked at Luna, who was busy cleaning, and stretched.
“By the way, why don't we go out for a bit!”
“Staying in this villa is just too stifling!”
Luna, who was bent over working.
She was completely bare underneath her clothes.
She brushed a stray hair from her forehead and shook her head apologetically.
“I can’t, Meng!”
“Charles specifically instructed that you absolutely must not leave a one-kilometer radius centered on the villa.”
Treating Meng Hao like one of her own, Luna put away the cleaning tools she had finished with.
Casually, she changed into a tracksuit in front of Meng Hao.
“However, Charles renovated the beach in front of the villa overnight yesterday.”
“If you want to sunbathe, play beach volleyball, or even go for a swim, you can do all of that.”
“Do you need me to accompany you?”
It was clear.
Luna also felt bored staying in the villa.
If it weren't for her intention to “possess” Meng Hao, she would have probably abandoned her task and left long ago.
However.
Playing beach volleyball and sunbathing together seemed like a good way to pass the time.
“That works too.”
“Besides this, there doesn’t seem to be anything else to do to pass the time.”
“Let’s go!”
Luna stretched, loosening her body. She produced a volleyball from somewhere, took Meng Hao’s arm, and they went downstairs.
…
If Luna hadn’t admitted it herself.
Meng Hao would never have believed that this American girl, who studied in an Australian coastal city, was actually afraid of water.
At Luna’s request.
Having grown tired of volleyball, Meng Hao decided to teach her to swim, hand in hand.
The coastal area where the villa was located had a shallow sea extending for over a hundred meters.
Beyond the shallow sea area, it became deep water, calm on the surface but with treacherous currents underneath.
This was why Charles hadn’t bothered setting up any barriers at sea to prevent Meng Hao from escaping.
Once one entered the deep water area, even the most skilled swimmers were in danger of perishing at the bottom of the sea.
“It’s alright, relax.”
“The average density of the human body is not much higher than that of seawater.”
“As long as you don’t flail around aimlessly, you most likely won’t sink.”
It was evident.
Luna had truly never learned to swim.
Her instinctual fear caused her to wrap her arms completely around Meng Hao’s neck, her entire body clinging to him like a dependent bird, using the buoyancy of the water to hang onto Meng Hao.
It had to be said.
Luna not only had a great figure, but her skin was also extremely smooth and delicate.
The few fragments of fabric on her swimsuit, which were almost nonexistent, were utterly incapable of concealing Luna’s voluptuous figure.
“Dear Meng, where are your hands placed?”
Despite her nervousness, Luna still couldn’t resist teasing Meng Hao.
Teaching her to swim, naturally.
His hands had to support Luna’s body.
However.
In this situation.
Meng Hao’s palms had no eyes, so it was impossible for him to see if his hands had landed in a location they shouldn’t be touching.
“Then, shall I move them?”
Meng Hao instinctively started to withdraw his hands.
Luna, who had just managed to balance herself, immediately grew anxious.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa.”
“I was just kidding!”
“Don’t take them away!”
*Hah*.
Meng Hao was amused by Luna, a smile appearing on his face.
“Mm.”
“Never mind, dear Meng.”
“You do as you please, put your hands wherever you like!”
Huh?
That sounded strange.
Luna had actively asked Meng Hao to teach her to swim.
Why did it sound like Meng Hao was some kind of pervert… wanting to put his hands wherever he pleased?
…
At this moment, in the White House, USA.
Although Tommy was only a Lieutenant General, he was in charge of all weapons research and development in the United States and could speak directly with the President.
The meeting in progress was clearly of extremely high caliber.
Apart from Tommy and the President of the United States, all other attendees were high-ranking US officials.
“So, even with your personal intervention, Tommy, Meng Hao has no intention of joining our country?”
“You’re saying he doesn’t even want the opportunity to establish his own kingdom?”
The President of the United States frowned, clearly finding the situation extremely troublesome.
The fact that the highest leader of the US was involved indicated that the entire US leadership had reached a consensus.
Meng Hao *must* be brought to their country.
A person like him.
Could make significant contributions to America’s scientific research… and even allow the US to stand at the forefront of world powers for decades to come.
A starving camel is still bigger than a horse.
As top officials of the United States,
They were already acutely aware of the growing pressure from the Great Xia.
If this continued, it was not impossible that in twenty to thirty years, the US would be completely replaced by Great Xia.
Meng Hao’s appearance, however, would significantly shorten this timeline.
Therefore.
Securing Meng Hao was a must.
“Perhaps we could infiltrate Great Xia and… invite… Meng Hao’s parents to our country.”
“Based on the intelligence we’ve gathered, Meng Hao is a very filial person.”
As expected of the head of intelligence.
This official, upon speaking, immediately proposed a method of kidnapping.
Uh!
Soon, other high-ranking officials voiced their opposition.
“The fact that we apprehended Meng Hao by surprise has already caused a stir in Great Xia and the A-country.”
“If we were to also kidnap Meng Hao’s parents, it would undoubtedly lead to military friction between the two countries.”
“And besides, speaking of which… Meng Hao was forcibly detained by us, so Great Xia is likely already on high alert. Attempting to move against Meng Hao’s parents now might not be so easy.”
Soon, another person spoke up.
“Women, money, status – these couldn’t sway Meng Hao?”
“He’s just a young man, he must have desires in all aspects!”
In response to this.
Tommy’s assistant couldn’t help but speak.
“Excuse me, sir.”
“Do you think our dear Lieutenant General Tommy went to see Meng Hao for nothing?”
“As I stated quite clearly earlier, even with our country’s support, Meng Hao completely rejected the suggestion of letting him choose a place to establish his own nation.”
“Do you really think he would be tempted by what you’ve proposed?”
Could it be?
Was there no other way?
Just as everyone was at a loss and the meeting had reached an impasse.
Tommy finally spoke slowly and unhurriedly.
“Actually, speaking of plans and strategies, it’s not as if there aren’t any!”
