Chapter 212 Do you still have feelings for the person you once deeply loved?

Yan Yu: "..."

He suddenly felt like punching these people.

"Thank you, Li." Yan Yu had no choice but to repeat himself, his voice somewhat muffled.

Now it was impossible for them to have misheard; the tomb raiders were somewhat embarrassed.

They originally wanted to be Yan Yu's wingmen, but now it seems they've actually made things worse.

Then, everyone silently watched Chen Jin, observing his reaction.

Shen Jin remained indifferent, showing no reaction upon hearing Xie Li's name, as if he didn't care. Only then did the tomb raiders breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Yan Yu was afraid that Shen Jin would misunderstand, so he quickly explained, "That was all in the past, it's all over now, and I don't like it anymore."

Yan Yu's explanation was somewhat flustered, fearing that his relationship with Shen Jin would continue to deteriorate.

Hearing Yan Yu's explanation, the tomb raiders were afraid of saying something wrong again, so they didn't dare to say anything more, but only helped Yan Yu explain a few words.

Yan Yu was very nervous. Seeing that Shen Jin had not made a statement, he was a little scared and moved a little closer to Shen Jin.

"I really don't like him anymore. Those things are all in the past." Yan Yu explained to Shen Jin in a very low voice, his voice trembling with fear.

Shen Jin finally raised his eyelids and looked at Yan Yu, who immediately became so nervous that he didn't know what to do.

"Why are you explaining all this to me?" Shen Jin asked calmly.

Yan Yu choked for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"It has nothing to do with me, keep playing." Shen Jin smiled faintly, not caring at all.

Then, Shen Jin looked at everyone and said, "Let's keep playing."

The tomb raiders snapped out of their daze, quickly responded, and then continued playing Truth or Dare.

However, Yan Yu's tense mood did not ease at all.

"Alright, alright, it's alright. Everyone has a few embarrassing moments, right?" The tomb raiders awkwardly spoke up for Yan Yu.

"Yeah, yeah, we've all been young once."

Hearing their words, Shen Jin remained silent.

Afterward, the tomb raiders said a few more words, quickly skipping over the awkward topic and continuing to play the game.

Yan Yu kept looking at Shen Jin, his mood somewhat heavy, unsure of what was wrong.

Then, the beer bottle neck kept spinning, and several people had already answered the truth.

Finally, the bottle's mouth pointed to the ashes, and everyone fell silent again.

"Truth or dare." Shen Jin didn't react much and directly chose truth or dare.

Having experienced the embarrassing incident before, the tomb raiders no longer dared to ask Shen Jin and the others the questions they had been thinking about.

Immediately, someone brought a stack of truth cards and placed them in front of Shen Jin, asking him to draw one.

They bought this box of Truth or Dare cards in town before setting sail.

Shen Jin glanced at it, said nothing, and simply reached out and randomly drew a card. He looked down at the question on it, and his brows immediately furrowed.

Everyone else was curious and crowded around to look at the question in Yan Yu's hand.

"Do you still have feelings for the person you once loved deeply?" A tomb raider closest to the ashes looked at the card and read the question aloud.

Everyone was stunned when those words were spoken.

Yan Yu was also stunned. He looked up at Shen Jin, as he was genuinely concerned about this issue.

Shen Jin had no intention of answering Yan Yu's question. He pursed his lips and remained silent.

The others, unaware of Shen Jin's attitude, remained silent.

After a long while, Shen Jin chuckled softly and put down the card in his hand: "I'll choose Dare."

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

"So you're going to jump into the sea and swim around?" Shen Jin asked with a faint smile, already taking off his coat as he spoke.

Immediately afterward, before anyone could react, he stood up, jumped over the railing, and leaped off the boat, startling Yan Yu.

"Hey, wait a minute!" someone quickly called out to stop Shen Jin.

They actually really want to know the answer to this question.

However, Chen Jin had already jumped in, creating huge waves, and even Chen Jin's people could no longer be seen.

Yan Yu was terrified when he saw Shen Jin jump down like that.

Even if Shen Jin is a good swimmer, what if something happens when he jumps from such a height? Besides, he didn't do any warm-up exercises; what if he gets a leg cramp?

Yan Yu immediately rushed to the railing, grabbed it with both hands, and looked down with a anxious expression.

"Shen Jin!" Yan Yu shouted Shen Jin's name.

"Hey Yan Yu, what are you doing? Be careful, don't fall!" A tomb raider immediately shouted at Yan Yu.

Ever since they learned that Yan Yu couldn't swim, they would remind him not to fall in whenever they saw him get too close to the railing.

"Shen Jin!" Yan Yu continued to call out anxiously for Shen Jin.

However, Shen Jin has not resurfaced since he jumped off the ship. Logically speaking, he should have been floating by now.

Yan Yu became even more anxious.

"It's alright, don't worry. Ah Jin is a good swimmer, and the sea here isn't dangerous." Knowing that Yan Yu was worried about Shen Jin, they spoke up to him.

Shen Jin jumped off the ship and dived straight down into the sea. He looked at the underwater scenery, where schools of fish swam in the deep blue water, some even swimming right next to him.

As soon as you reach out to touch them, they immediately scatter.

Only when he could barely hold his breath did Shen Jin begin to rise, preparing to emerge from the water.

At this moment, Yan Yu was worried and anxious, and almost forgot that he couldn't swim, so he wanted to go into the water to find him.

The tomb raiders hurriedly pulled at Yan Yu with a wry smile, saying, "What are you doing? You can't even swim, what are you doing down there?"

"He's definitely diving, don't rush!" The tomb raider continued to pull Yan Yu away, preventing him from going into the sea. "If you go down and drown, will he rescue you again?"

Yan Yu: "..."

There's no arguing with it; not being able to swim is truly a humiliating and mentally taxing thing.

Fortunately, at this moment, Chen Jin emerged from underwater and gasped for breath on the surface of the sea.

Upon emerging, Shen Jin was stunned to see Yan Yu and the tomb raiders arguing and pulling at each other.

"What are you doing?" Shen Jin asked. "It's just jumping into the sea and diving for a while."

Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu quickly turned to look at Shen Jin, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him.

"This kid is determined to go down since you haven't come up. Hurry up and come up and do something about him," the tomb raider shouted helplessly to Shen Jin.

Shen Jin frowned, somewhat helplessly, and then boarded the ship.

As soon as they boarded the ship, Yan Yu pounced on them and hugged Shen Jin tightly.

Shen Jin: "..."

"You scared me to death." Yan Yu said in a muffled voice, "Why did you jump in like that? It's very dangerous. Even if you can swim, don't joke around with your life."

Yan Yu kept talking incessantly while holding Shen Jin, which annoyed Shen Jin so much that she pushed Yan Yu away.

"I'm fine," Shen Jin replied in a muffled voice.

It was almost noon by then, and everyone had things to do, so they stopped playing Truth or Dare and started doing their own things.

Yan Yu continued to pester Shen Jin, nagging on and on, until Shen Jin was getting annoyed by his constant chatter.

Several more days passed, and the ship slowly approached the small island.

From afar, someone spotted it and began shouting, "Come quick and look! Isn't that Liangdong Island over there?!"

Upon hearing his words, the whole group gathered around to look.

Someone took out a map to compare and found that they were very similar.

"Yes, yes, this is it!" one of the tomb raiders exclaimed excitedly.

Everyone was very excited when they heard this.

"Haha, we've finally arrived!"

"Yes, it's been so many days, we've finally arrived."

After sailing at sea for so long, we've finally arrived at our destination and can finally experience what it's like to step onto land.

Shen Jin and Yan Yu both laughed when they heard that they had arrived.

"Quick, let's speed up and get there!" someone shouted.

Sure enough, following his words, the person steering the boat sped up and approached the small island.

Soon, the boat reached the shore, and everyone stopped the boat, lowered the stairs, and disembarked.

Yan Yu disembarked first, then turned around and watched Shen Jin come down. He reached out to help him, but Shen Jin didn't even glance at him and jumped down directly. Yan Yu was immediately embarrassed and had to withdraw his hand.

Afterwards, everyone began to look around the island.

This island has never been developed, so it is relatively primitive and retains most of its original appearance, including some ancient buildings, although they have now been destroyed and are now only left with a few rough edges.

Upon setting foot on the island, Chen Jin felt the passage of time. Moreover, the place was very peaceful, and apart from being somewhat desolate, it was a very suitable place to live.

"Alright, everyone's down now, let's go," one of the tomb raiders said.

So, everyone started walking into Liangdong Island.

Shen Jin casually picked up a tree branch, held it in his hand, dangled it around, and then placed it on the ground to use as a walking stick.

The island is beautiful, with many trees, each one a towering giant. There are also various birds singing in the forest, and Chen Jin even saw some birds he had never seen before.

These are probably creatures that originally inhabited this island and have not yet gone extinct.

"This island looks like it's going to be really exciting," Chen Jin said as he cleared a path through the weeds under his feet.

“Yes,” the tomb raider replied, then paused and added, “Everyone be careful and don’t get separated. This island is quite big, and we’re not familiar with the terrain. If we get separated, it will be very difficult.”

Upon hearing his words, everyone responded.

Fearing he would get separated from Shen Jin, Yan Yu quickly came to Shen Jin's side and followed him. Shen Jin didn't say anything.

He found the island quite fun, just like a tourist destination, where he could enjoy the scenery and such.

The group walked together, enjoying the scenery along the way.

Although their goal was to find ancient treasures on the island, they had only just arrived, so for now they were just wandering around and enjoying the scenery.

As for the others, there's no rush right now.

After walking for a while, a tomb raider handed Shen Jin a camera: "Here, you can play with this."

Shen Jin paused for a moment, then reached out and took it; he was quite interested in it.

"Thanks," Shen Jin replied with a smile.

The tomb raider chuckled but said nothing.

Then, Shen Jin took the camera and started taking pictures of the scenery he thought was beautiful.

The trees on this island are lush and green, probably because it had rained recently. In any case, they are much more beautiful than the books in the city.

Seeing that Shen Jin was having fun, Yan Yu smiled and didn't make a sound to disturb him.

After walking for a while, Yan Yu saw the same fruits that he had picked for Shen Jin when Shen Jin had a fever before. They were the same fruits, except that the fruits on this island were much larger than the ones on the other island.

"Chen Jin, look!" Yan Yu was quite happy and pointed to the fruit for Shen Jin to see.

Shen Jin was looking down at the camera in his hand when he heard Yan Yu call him. He looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

As he spoke, Shen Jin turned his head and looked in the direction Yan Yu was pointing. He saw the fruit and was immediately stunned.

The fruit was red and looked plump and juicy, some still with water droplets hanging on them. They hung in clusters on the branches, almost breaking them. And it wasn't just one tree; there was a whole grove of these fruit trees in front of him.

The fruit trees I saw in that grove before were shorter, fewer, and less beautiful than those here.

Upon seeing this fruit, Shen Jin quickly recalled his previous memories, remembering how he had done those things to Yan Yu when he was delirious with fever.

Shen Jin felt awkward and embarrassed.

He felt that Yan Yu did it on purpose.

"What's wrong with that fruit?" One of the tomb raiders looked at the fruit with a puzzled expression, then looked at Yan Yu.

Upon hearing his words, Yan Yu immediately snapped out of his daze, looked at the tomb raider, and chuckled twice.

"It's nothing, we just ate this kind of fruit in that same grove of trees last time," Yan Yu replied with a smile.

"Hahaha." The tomb raider immediately laughed: "The fruit trees there were made from seeds brought from this island, didn't you know?"

Yan Yu frowned, then shook his head; he really didn't know.

"Do you remember the story I told you before about the prince and the little assassin?" the tomb raider continued.

As he spoke, the tomb raider casually picked a few bright red fruits from the tree and popped one into his mouth.

Yan Yu and Shen Jin both nodded.

Seeing that the tomb raider seemed to be about to tell them a story, Yan Yu and Shen Jin both looked at the tomb raider, ready to listen carefully to what he had to say next. Shen Jin no longer felt that what had just happened was too embarrassing.

“I specifically looked up some information before. That little assassin’s hometown is this Liangdong Island. Later, she brought a lot of saplings and seeds from the island to the imperial city where the crown prince was, and planted the seeds there.” The tomb raider said while stuffing another fruit into his mouth.

Upon hearing his words, Shen Jin and Yan Yu immediately understood.

No wonder it was such a coincidence; they were just wondering how there could be fruit trees on this island that were the same as those in that grove.

"However, since these are plants from an island, they naturally wouldn't grow as well if planted in the capital. I don't know exactly what the little assassin brought, but I guess this fruit tree was one of them," the tomb raider continued.

The two people listening nodded in agreement.

In that case, they realized that some of the things they had seen in that forest could indeed be found on this island.

It turns out that the two places are so closely connected.

"You think you know so much!" A tomb raider stepped forward, patted the other tomb raider on the shoulder, and said with a smile.

"That's right!" The tomb raider who had told the story earlier didn't mince words, smiled, and accepted the praise.

Then, the two began picking fruit.

"Let's order everything at once, it's quite delicious," someone said.

Yan Yu looked at the fruits, blinked, and remembered that Shen Jin used to really like eating these wild fruits.

However, Shen Jin had a fever at that time, and he refused to let Shen Jin eat too much, which made Shen Jin seem unhappy.

"Let me pick some fruit for you," Yan Yu said, turning to Shen Jin.

Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin recalled what had happened before and felt immediately depressed.

"I don't want it, you eat it yourself." Shen Jin replied to Yan Yu somewhat awkwardly and sullenly.

He really didn't want to bring up that dark history of the past again, and he wondered how Yan Yu could be so clueless.

"Didn't you like it very much?" Yan Yu asked in confusion.

Shen Jin gripped the camera tightly with his fingers, wishing he could drag Yan Yu to a corner and beat him up.

Finally, Shen Jin forced down his anger and managed a weak smile at Yan Yu: "I don't like it."

"Then you should eat some." Yan Yu still wanted to help Shen Jin pick some.

"You're so annoying, I told you I don't want it." Shen Jin's face finally fell.

However, Yan Yu still didn't listen to Shen Jin, and even turned around and ran to pick fruit. Shen Jin was speechless and rubbed his forehead.

So, Shen Jin just stood there watching Yan Yu fight with the tomb raiders for the big fruit.

"This is mine, what are you doing?"

"What I see first is mine."

"I picked it first... Move to the side a little, I can't reach it anymore."

A group of people were scrambling for fruit like children. Shen Jin felt he couldn't bear to watch and covered his eyes with his hands, finding the scene too offensive.

Soon, everyone had picked a lot of fruit.

Yan Yu returned to Shen Jin's side and eagerly handed him the fruit: "Have some, this is really sweet."

"I don't want to eat it," Shen Jin refused outright.

After saying that, Shen Jin quickened his pace and walked forward, showing Yan Yu with his actions that he didn't want to talk to him, which made Yan Yu feel a little awkward.

The tomb raiders ate fruit and watched Yan Yu's discomfiture, all suppressing their laughter.

Suddenly, one person couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing, and the others immediately followed suit.

Hearing their unrestrained laughter, Yan Yu turned his head and looked at them reproachfully.

"What are you looking at us for? You upset your wife, and now you're blaming us?" the tomb raider immediately retorted.

“That’s right, hurry up and go coax him.” Another person chimed in.

Upon hearing the word "wife," Yan Yu paused for a moment, then smiled somewhat awkwardly.

Those walking ahead stopped abruptly upon hearing the tomb raiders' words, and turned to glare at them.

"If you keep talking nonsense!" Shen Jin said helplessly.

"Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore, I misspoke just now."

"Yes, yes, I won't talk nonsense anymore."

The tomb raiders promised each other they wouldn't say anything more, and only then did Shen Jin turn around and continue walking.

As soon as Shen Jin turned around, a tomb raider winked at Yan Yu. Yan Yu understood immediately and turned around to catch up with Shen Jin.

"Wait for me!" Yan Yu called out to Shen Jin as he chased after him.

When Shen Jin heard Yan Yu call him, he didn't want to pay attention to him at all and quickened his pace.

Finally, Yan Yu exerted a great deal of effort to catch up with Shen Jin.

"Just eat a little fruit, I picked it especially for you," Yan Yu continued to say to Shen Jin.

"I won't eat," Shen Jin refused coldly.

Yan Yu kept pestering Shen Jin, trying to get him to eat some fruit. Shen Jin was getting annoyed by Yan Yu's pestering.

Finally, Shen Jin couldn't take it anymore and turned around to glare at Yan Yu: "Are you ever going to stop?!"

No sooner had Yan Yu yelled at him than Yan Yu shoved a fruit into Shen Jin's mouth, silencing him from saying anything more.

Shen Jin's expression was particularly unpleasant.

But since the fruit was already in his mouth, Shen Jin had no choice but to eat it.

"Is it good?" Yan Yu looked at Shen Jin expectantly after seeing him eat the fruit he had fed him.

“…Hmm.” Shen Jin remained silent for a while before giving a muffled reply.

Upon hearing Shen Jin's reply, Yan Yu immediately smiled happily.

"Then have another one." Yan Yu picked up another fruit to feed Shen Jin.

Shen Jin immediately turned his head away.

"No need," Shen Jin replied sullenly.

Before Yan Yu could make any move, Shen Jin turned around and continued walking. Yan Yu quickly chased after him and continued to pester Shen Jin.

Annoyed to no end, Shen Jin sped up: "Stop bothering me..."

As he was speaking, Shen Jin stepped on a loose stone, stumbled, and fell.

Yan Yu was startled and quickly reached out to support Chen Jin.

"Are you alright?" Yan Yu asked anxiously.

Shen Jin steadied himself and remained silent.

Behind them, the tomb raiders kept a certain distance from the two of them, not too close, but not so close that they would get separated.

"It's nothing," Shen Jin replied in a muffled voice after a long while.

Yan Yu smiled, then reached out and took the camera from Shen Jin's neck, then handed Shen Jin a fruit in a large leaf.

"Here, take it all. I'll hold the camera for you first," Yan Yu said to Shen Jin.

Shen Jin held the fruits, somewhat helplessly.

"Just eat it. It's a token of our appreciation, right?" Yan Yu was afraid that Shen Jin would refuse, so he quickly spoke up before Shen Jin could.

Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin sighed.

“Then you can eat it yourself,” Shen Jin continued.

“I enjoy watching you eat,” Yan Yu replied quickly.

Shen Jin: "..."
