Chapter 206 Give Shen Jin whatever he wants, and do your best to provide it.

Before Yan Yu could say anything, the others burst into laughter upon hearing Shen Jin's words.

Yan Yu then realized that the tomb raiders were still nearby.

Hearing their laughter, Yan Yu felt a little embarrassed, but didn't know what to say.

"Hahaha, Ah Jin is absolutely right, Yan Yu, you better not fall into the sea!" One of the tomb raiders burst into laughter.

Seeing that he could laugh so happily and without any regard for his image, Yan Yu was speechless for a moment.

The others were all laughing and teasing Yan Yu.

"Yeah, we don't want to have to go down and fish you out later."

"You're so seasick. You might fall overboard if you don't stand up straight. How about we find a rope and tie you up? That way you won't fall."

The tomb raiders were all making fun of Yan Yu in all sorts of ways, showing no sign of restraint.

Yan Yu was both embarrassed and helpless, and immediately burst out laughing, only able to watch them keep teasing him.

It's just seasickness, why do they all think he's useless?

At this moment, Shen Jin couldn't help but laugh along with them.

Yan Yu was stunned and turned to look at Shen Jin, but Shen Jin did not look at him. He was still looking at the tomb raiders and laughing, so he did not notice that Yan Yu was looking at him.

Seeing Shen Jin's smile, Yan Yu immediately felt it was all worth it. No matter what, it was all worth it. As long as Shen Jin was happy, nothing else mattered.

After everyone had finished laughing, one of the tomb raiders spoke up to stop them from laughing any longer.

"Alright, alright, that's enough. Stop laughing, or Yan Yu will get embarrassed." The person pressed down with both hands, signaling everyone to stop laughing.

The laughter did indeed subside considerably, but some laughter could still be heard.

"Alright, you guys hurry up and go fishing. If you don't go now, by the time you catch your fish, we'll have finished our barbecue." The tomb raider then looked at Yan Yu and Shen Jin and said.

Shen Jin quickly responded and then picked up his fishing rod to prepare to fish.

After a moment, Shen Jin seemed to remember something and turned to Yan Yu: "Why don't you go in? I'll be fine on my own."

Yan Yu shook his head firmly: "It's okay, I'm not afraid of falling in. At worst, I can just climb back up your fishing rod."

Hearing Yan Yu say that, Shen Jin was both annoyed and amused, and didn't know what to say.

Finally, Shen Jin withdrew his gaze and threw the baited hook into the sea: "Whatever."

So Yan Yu stayed next to Shen Jin and fished with him.

Shen Jin also took a fishing rod, baited the hook, and threw it into the sea. He sat next to Shen Jin and waited for the fish to bite.

Neither of them spoke; they just sat there quietly.

Basking in the warm sunshine and sitting next to Shen Jin, Yan Yu felt that this was really pleasant. He could enjoy the scenery on the sea while fishing.

After a while, Yan Yu became a little impatient, wondering why no fish had bitten the hook yet.

"Why haven't any fish taken the bait yet..." Yan Yu couldn't help but complain.

Just then, a tomb raider who happened to be passing by heard Yan Yu's complaint and immediately laughed. Yan Yu then turned to look at the tomb raider.

"This ship is still moving, it's not that easy to fish it out," the tomb raider joked with a laugh.

Hearing him say that, Yan Yu pursed his lips and said nothing more, just staring silently at his fishing rod.

After a while, Yan Yu couldn't resist any longer and reeled in his fishing line. When he saw the hook, he was stunned to find that the bait was gone.

"How could this be? Where's my bait?" Yan Yu looked at his fishing hook in surprise.

Shen Jin, who was standing to the side, also turned his head and looked over, and found that Yan Yu's fishhook really had nothing left, only a lonely fishhook.

"It must have been snagged by something," Shen Jin said after observing for a while.

As he spoke, he reeled in his own fishing line, wanting to see if he was in the same situation.

Hearing Shen Jin's deduction, Yan Yu had no choice but to bait the hook again and cast it in once more.

At this moment, Shen Jin had already reeled in his fishing line, picked up the hook and looked at it, and found that the bait was indeed gone, just like Yan Yu's.

Looking at Shen Jin's fishhook, Yan Yu wanted to laugh, but he was afraid that Shen Jin would get angry, so he held it in.

Unaware of Yan Yu's unusual behavior, Shen Jin reloaded the bait and threw it back into the sea to fish.

Because the boat was constantly moving, fishing was quite difficult, and the two of them didn't catch a single fish even after half a day.

After a long time, Shen Jin was almost asleep when he suddenly woke up with a start.

"A fish has taken the bait!" Shen Jin shouted as he looked at his fishing rod.

He had just felt something bite the hook, and now, looking at the fishing rod, it was moving.

Upon hearing that a fish had taken the bait, Yan Yu was overjoyed and quickly went to help Shen Jin pull the fishing rod out of the sea.

"There really is a fish, I can feel it!" Yan Yu said excitedly, pulling on the fishing rod and feeling the weight in his hand.

Shen Jin's eyes lit up instantly, almost filled with joy.

"Quickly, pull it up! Don't let it escape!" Shen Jin said urgently to Yan Yu.

As he spoke, he reached out to help Yan Yu pull the fishing rod.

Soon, the fishing rod was reeled in, and sure enough, a fish was caught.

"Look, you caught it." Yan Yu took the fish off the hook and handed it to Chen Jin.

Shen Jin reached out and took the fish, couldn't help but smile, and looked down at it.

"Great! Quick, let's go grill the fish." Shen Jin looked at the only fish he had caught after fishing for so long and quickly turned around and headed towards the spot where the tomb raiders had just been grilling.

However, when Shen Jin turned around, all he saw were some remnants of the barbecue and a few tomb raiders cleaning up the barbecue grill and other things.

Shen Jin was stunned. Had he been so focused on fishing that he didn't even realize the barbecue was almost over?

The tomb raiders had already heard Shen Jin's words and knew that he had caught a fish. They couldn't help but laugh: "By the time you catch the fish, the barbecue will have been over long ago. Where will you find anything to grill the fish for?"

Shen Jin couldn't help but chuckle.

That's true. The two of them had been fishing for a long time, and it took them ages to catch a fish. Moreover, this fish was quite different from the ones he had seen in the sea before.

Listening to the tomb raider's words, Yan Yu also felt a little regretful and couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey, I finally caught a fish." Yan Yu said, looking at the fish.

Shen Jin nodded in agreement.

Hearing their words, the tomb raiders couldn't help but chuckle. A few of them walked over and took the fish that Shen Jin had caught from his hand: "Let me see it."

“Okay,” Shen Jin quickly replied.

Then, the man took a closer look at the fish that Shen Jin had caught.

"This fish is quite beautiful," the tomb raider remarked after observing it for a while.

Yan Yu nodded and replied, "Yes, I think so too. They're much prettier than the ordinary fish I've seen before."

Shen Jin smiled but didn't say anything.

After a moment, the tomb raider frowned slightly: "It just looks familiar. I feel like I've seen it somewhere before."

Hearing the tomb raider's words, Shen Jin and Yan Yu were both puzzled, looking at him and waiting for his answer.

After a while, the tomb raider suddenly slapped his forehead and realized, "I remember now, I saw it in a book, this kind of fish is poisonous."

After the tomb raider finished speaking, Shen Jin was stunned for a moment.

"You're saying this fish is poisonous?" Shen Jin asked, his face full of disbelief.

"Yes," the tomb raider nodded seriously and replied.

Shen Jin's expression changed immediately, and Yan Yu's expression changed as well.

"Hurry up and throw the fish away!" Yan Yu was startled and shouted at Shen Jin.

As he spoke, he reached out to snatch the fish from Shen Jin's hand.

"Hey, what are you doing? This fish isn't poisonous on the surface, it's fine to hold it." The tomb raider quickly stopped Yan Yu when he saw how anxious he was.

Yan Yu finally breathed a slight sigh of relief and stopped what he was doing.

Shen Jin stared at the fish, still shaken. He had thought the fish might be poisonous, but he hadn't considered that possibility or had time to throw it away.

"How could such a beautiful fish be poisonous?" Looking at the fish lying in his palm, Shen Jin sighed slightly, seemingly with some regret.

"The more beautiful something is, the more poisonous it is," the tomb raider sighed and replied.

“That’s true,” Chen Jin replied.

In the end, although Shen Jin felt it was a pity, the fish was poisonous, so he had no choice but to release it back into the sea.

After releasing the fish, Shen Jin watched it swim away until it disappeared into the sea, remaining silent for a long time.

Yan Yu looked at Shen Jin's expression and knew that Shen Jin still wanted it.

"Let me help you fish again," Yan Yu said to Shen Jin.

Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin raised his eyes and glanced at Yan Yu, his gaze clearly indicating that he did not expect Yan Yu to be able to catch him.

"Forget it, you won't be able to catch it anyway, so it's a waste of time," Chen Jin replied.

Yan Yu quickly said, "No, this is no waste of time. I can catch it. You have to believe me."

With that, Yan Yu cast his fishing line into the sea and continued fishing.

Seeing Yan Yu's actions, Shen Jin felt helpless and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I will catch it." While waiting for the fish to bite, Yan Yu turned to look at Shen Jin and said firmly.

If Shen Jin wants something, he will definitely use every means to get it for Shen Jin.

Hearing Yan Yu's firm tone, Shen Jin didn't know what to say for a moment, so he just looked at Yan Yu quietly.

At this point, the effects of the seasickness medicine Yan Yu had taken earlier had worn off, and he started feeling seasick again. However, thinking about the fishing he still had to do for Shen Jin, Yan Yu remained still and continued to wait for the fish to bite.

After a long while, Yan Yu's dizziness worsened, and his stomach churned and he felt very uncomfortable.

Finally, Yan Yu couldn't hold back any longer, grabbed the railing, and vomited with a loud "whoosh".

This vomit startled the surrounding tomb raiders, and even Chen Jin was taken aback.

Then, those people immediately went forward to help Yan Yu up: "Are you alright? How are you feeling?"

Yan Yu was still vomiting incessantly, unable to utter a single word, and was in great discomfort.

Someone opened a bottle of water and handed it to Yan Yu: "Here, use this to rinse your mouth."

Yan Yu reached out and took the bottle of water, his face looking extremely pale.

He opened a bottle of water, drank a few sips, rinsed his mouth, and drank some more water. Then, the tomb raiders helped Yan Yu inside to rest.

At this moment, Shen Jin also realized what was happening and quickly helped Yan Yu inside with the tomb raiders.

"I told you not to go fishing, but you wouldn't listen. Now you feel better, don't you?" Shen Jin couldn't help but complain.

Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu wanted to reply, but just as he opened his mouth to speak, that nauseous feeling rose up again, and Yan Yu almost vomited again.

"Alright, alright, stop talking and go inside to rest," Shen Jin said, unable to help but speak up when he saw Yan Yu like this.

Yan Yu did not speak this time.

Then, the others helped him inside.

Someone found some seasickness medicine and gave it to Yan Yu. Yan Yu took the medicine and swallowed it with water.

"Thank you." Yan Yu was much better now, so he thanked the tomb raider.

The tomb raider patted Yan Yu on the shoulder: "Get some rest."

Yan Yu nodded and responded.

Then, everyone turned to leave, and Shen Jin followed suit.

Watching Shen Jin's departing figure, Yan Yu felt a pang of disappointment. After a moment, he tentatively asked, "Um... could you stay with me?"

Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin paused for a moment, turned around to look at Yan Yu, who looked at him with a very expectant gaze.

"You should get some rest," Shen Jin said to Yan Yu after a moment of silence.

After saying that, Shen Jin turned and left, his words serving as a rejection of Yan Yu.

Seeing Shen Jin leave like that, Yan Yu felt a sense of loss, but there was nothing he could say or do.

So Yan Yu quietly lay down on the bed to rest.

As night fell, Chen Jin went outside to admire the night view. During the day, the sea was a vast expanse of blue, but at night, under the moonlight, the sea surface shimmered and looked somewhat dreamlike.

Chen Jin idly blew in the sea breeze and gazed at the scenery.

The starry sky at sea is even more beautiful than on land, and you can even vaguely see some reflections in the water.

Everything was beautiful.

As Shen Jin looked at the photos, he unconsciously felt homesick. A sense of sadness welled up inside him.

Upon thinking of this, Shen Jin immediately shook his head quickly, trying to banish the thought from his mind.

"Don't think too much, don't think too much..." Shen Jin muttered to himself.

Then, I forced myself to stop thinking about those things and instead looked at the sea and felt the wind.

The sea breeze was cool, but Shen Jin didn't pay much attention to it. On the contrary, he found it quite comfortable and let the sea breeze blow on him. Perhaps this would help him clear his mind and stop him from feeling so lost.

At this moment, Yan Yu, who was sleeping in the room, woke up.

Yan Yu woke up groggily, and the first thing he did was to look for Shen Jin. Yan Yu sat on the bed, looked around, and then remembered that Shen Jin was not there.

So Yan Yu quickly climbed out of bed and quietly opened the door.

As soon as Yan Yu opened the door, he saw Shen Jin standing on the deck, exposed to the wind. Shen Jin was only wearing a thin garment, which was being blown around by the sea breeze.

A moment later, Yan Yu turned around, went back, grabbed a coat, and then went out again to Chen Jin's side.

Shen Jin was lost in thought and didn't notice anyone approaching until he felt a sudden weight on his shoulder.

Looking up, he saw Yan Yu holding a coat and draping it over his shoulders.

"It's very cold outside," Yan Yu quickly explained when he saw Shen Jin looking at him.

As he spoke, Yan Yu helped Chen Jin straighten his clothes and tightened them to prevent the wind from getting in.

Then, Yan Yu sat down next to Shen Jin.

Shen Jin kept staring at Yan Yu until Yan Yu helped him put on his coat, then he looked away.

"Awake?" Shen Jin asked casually.

Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu quickly nodded: "Yes, he's awake."

Shen Jin nodded and continued to look at the sea.

The two were silent for a while. Yan Yu turned to look at Shen Jin, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "It's quite windy outside. It's easy to catch a cold. Why don't you go inside and rest?"

The sea breeze at night is really cold, especially since Chen Jin's constitution isn't very good, so he's particularly prone to getting sick when exposed to this wind.

Shen Jin turned to look at Yan Yu, remained silent for a moment, and then replied, "It's nothing, there's no need."

"How could we not need it? It's really cold outside." Yan Yu immediately became anxious upon hearing Shen Jin's reply.

Seeing Yan Yu's expression, which resembled the emperor being more anxious than the eunuch, Shen Jin felt somewhat helpless.

Finally, Shen Jin retorted with a single sentence: "You, who gets seasick, can risk your life by going out to sea, so what's wrong with me just getting some fresh air?"

Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu was immediately speechless, and all the words he wanted to use to persuade Shen Jin to go back stuck in his throat.

For a moment, he didn't know how to refute it, because he had indeed fallen asleep while seasick.

In the end, unable to refute her, Yan Yu could only silently shut his mouth.

After a while, Shen Jin finally spoke: "You've slept for a few hours now, how are you feeling? Are you still dizzy?"

Yan Yu was taken aback by the sudden barrage of questions from Shen Jin.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Yu felt a surge of joy. Hearing Shen Jin's caring words, it felt as if every organ in his body was leaping with joy and cheering.

Yan Yu was immediately flattered.

"I'm not dizzy anymore," Yan Yu quickly shook his head and answered Shen Jin.

Upon hearing Yan Yu's reply, Shen Jin nodded slightly, then withdrew his gaze and said nothing more. However, Yan Yu's heart still could not calm down.

"Do you still care about me?" After a while, Yan Yu asked hesitantly.

Does the fact that Shen Jin still asks him these questions mean that Shen Jin still cares about him?

Although the possibility was extremely small, Yan Yu still wanted to deceive himself, or rather, that Shen Jin didn't care about him that much, but there was still a little bit of concern for him.

Hearing Yan Yu's question, Shen Jin's expression did not change at all; he simply turned his head and glanced at Yan Yu.

"Actually... you still care about me a little, don't you?" Yan Yu looked at Shen Jin and asked again cautiously.

Shen Jin looked at Yan Yu quietly, his expression unchanged: "No."

Upon receiving this answer, Yan Yu was stunned. He couldn't believe that Shen Jin had denied it so casually, even if it was just to deceive him.

"There should be at least a little bit, otherwise why did you ask that question just now?" Yan Yu refused to give up and continued to ask Shen Jin.

Seeing that Yan Yu was still going to keep asking, Shen Jin finally had some helplessness.

He shouldn't have asked Yan Yu that question earlier.

“I’m concerned about you only because you’re going to sea with us now. We’re all in the same boat. If something happens to you, the rest of us will be involved in a lot of trouble. Do you understand what I’m saying?” Shen Jin took a deep breath and asked Yan Yu.

Upon hearing this answer, Yan Yu was stunned once again.

"So, my concern for you doesn't mean anything else; I'm just worried about unnecessary trouble." Shen Jin stared intently at Yan Yu with his dark eyes, speaking each word calmly.

Yan Yu remained silent for a long time without saying a word.

After saying all this, Shen Jin let out a long breath, turned his head to continue looking at the sea, and didn't say anything more for a while.

Yan Yu had no way to refute Shen Jin's words and could only give a bitter smile.

Yes, he had been too optimistic about everything. How could Shen Jin possibly care about him anymore? Forgiving him was practically impossible for him now.

Finally, Yan Yu looked up at Shen Jin again and said, "No matter what your reasons are for caring about me, I'm happy as long as you care about me."

Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin was slightly taken aback.

Then, Yan Yu gave Shen Jin a smile.

Shen Jin sighed and shook his head helplessly. He couldn't reason with Yan Yu at all. He had already said all that, but Yan Yu still couldn't understand what he meant. How could he express himself so that Yan Yu would give up?

Unable to reason with Yan Yu, Shen Jin could only continue to admire the scenery on the sea.

After a while, Yan Yu said, "I'm a little hungry, I'll go find something to eat."

After saying that, Yan Yu went inside.

Shen Jin watched Yan Yu's departing figure, then quickly looked away.

Not long after, Yan Yu returned with some food he had found and came to Shen Jin's side.

"Would you like something to eat?" Yan Yu asked Shen Jin, holding up some food.

Shen Jin turned to look at Yan Yu. In the darkness of the night, Yan Yu's face appeared somewhat hazy, and he couldn't quite make out Yan Yu's expression, but he could see that Yan Yu was smiling.

Shen Jin snapped out of his daze, shook his head, and replied softly, "No need, I've already eaten and I'm full now. I don't want to eat. You can eat by yourself."
