Chapter 217 I Want to Hold Your Hand and Walk

Shen Jin demonstrated it to Yan Yu again, and Yan Yu felt that it seemed quite simple, but he just couldn't learn it no matter what he tried.

"So, have you figured it out yet?" Shen Jin came to Yan Yu's side and asked again.

Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu stammered for a long time, then awkwardly scratched his head.

Shen Jin frowned slightly and kept looking at Yan Yu.

Finally, Yan Yu spoke up: "I still don't quite know how. Do you need to try again?"

"..." Shen Jin looked at Yan Yu with a particularly helpless expression.

After a moment, Shen Jin sighed: "It's alright, you can try it first."

Yan Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement and tried to swim in the water.

Unsurprisingly, Yan Yu sank into the water once again.

Shen Jin reached out and grabbed Yan Yu, pulling him up.

"Relax a little, don't be so stiff." For the first time, Shen Jin thought Yan Yu was so stupid.

"Oh..." Yan Yu nodded weakly in response.

“Try again,” Chen Jin continued.

Yan Yu felt that he still couldn't do it this time, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go on.

This time, Yan Yu finally swam a little distance. Shen Jin thought Yan Yu could swim a little further, so he didn't go forward.

To everyone's surprise, the next second, Yan Yu sank straight down.

“I…” Shen Jin sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

Then, Shen Jin quickly swam forward to where Yan Yu had sunk and rescued him.

When Yan Yu was rescued, he had already swallowed several mouthfuls of water. As soon as he came out of the water, he started coughing incessantly, and the coughing was particularly severe.

Shen Jin sighed helplessly, reached out and patted Yan Yu on the back, and couldn't help but tease Yan Yu a few times: "You're just not cut out to swim, you should go play in the water on the shore."

Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu's expression immediately turned extremely aggrieved.

"I just had a cramp," Yan Yu quickly explained, afraid that Shen Jin would find him repulsive.

Shen Jin merely glanced at him without saying a word.

"Then I'll try again," Yan Yu continued.

After saying that, Yan Yu was about to dive into the water when Shen Jin reached out and grabbed him.

"That's enough for today, let's go upstairs first," Shen Jin said calmly.

By this time, the tomb raiders had all gotten tired of playing and were preparing to go ashore.

“Everyone has gone up, let’s go up too.” Shen Jin glanced at them, then turned to Yan Yu and said.

Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu also turned to look at the tomb raiders.

He felt he wanted to swim a little more and see if he could suddenly learn it.

"Why don't you go up first, and I'll try it here?" Yan Yu hesitated for a moment before saying to Shen Jin.

If he learns to swim, he can go down into the water with Shen Jin whenever he wants to play.

Shen Jin was speechless for a moment: "If I go up, who will save you if you sink?"

Yan Yu was speechless when Shen Jin asked him that question.

“Then I’ll stay in the shallow water…” Yan Yu opened his mouth, then continued.

"The water here isn't up to your knees," Chen Jin continued to complain.

Yan Yu was completely speechless and could only remain silent.

"Alright, go up there. At your age, you won't be able to learn it anytime soon," Shen Jin continued to say to Yan Yu.

"Alright." Although Yan Yu was reluctant, he could only agree.

Then, Shen Jin turned around and walked directly to the shore. Yan Yu glanced at Shen Jin and got up to follow.

"Has Yan Yu learned it yet?" a tomb raider suddenly asked Yan Yu.

Upon hearing his words, Yan Yu looked up at him without saying a word, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

Seeing Yan Yu's gaze, the tomb raider burst into laughter: "Hahaha, no rush, no rush, take your time."

“Yeah, we studied it for a long time before,” another tomb raider joked.

Yan Yu remained silent and did not speak.

He felt they were doing it on purpose; they had clearly seen that he couldn't swim, yet they still asked him these questions.

Yan Yu went ashore amidst the teasing and rested.

Just then, the sun was shining on them, so they lay down on the ground and basked in the sun.

Yan Yu lay down next to Shen Jin, and Shen Jin didn't say anything, just let him lie there.

After a while, Shen Jin picked up his camera and started looking at the photos. Many of them were taken yesterday. Yan Yu lay next to him, watching out of the corner of his eye as Shen Jin flipped through the photos. He wanted to get closer to look, but he was afraid that Shen Jin would get angry, so he didn't move.

There were many photos taken in the valley yesterday. Chen Jin couldn't help but smile as he looked at the various small animals. He hadn't expected to see wildcats on this island.

Thinking of this, Shen Jin smiled slightly.

"Do you like it?" Yan Yu turned to look at Shen Jin for a while and asked.

"Yes, very cute." Shen Jin didn't look at Yan Yu, but simply nodded.

Yan Yu listened to Shen Jin's words and seemed to be deep in thought.

"Then next time we encounter something fun, I'll take pictures for you, okay?" Yan Yu hesitated for a while before saying this.

“Okay.” Shen Jin agreed immediately.

Yan Yu had been feeling uneasy, wondering if Shen Jin would agree, but now that Shen Jin had agreed so readily, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, Yan Yu continued to find various topics to chat with Shen Jin, and Shen Jin would occasionally reply with a few words.

Nearby, the tomb raiders, seeing that the two were finally able to exchange a few words, tacitly kept quiet, basking in the sun contentedly, and did not disturb them.

Perhaps it was because the sun was so warm that everyone gradually fell asleep.

A few days later.

A group of people were still wandering around the island, without any particular purpose, just going about their business.

Yan Yu already felt in his heart that they were just there to have fun, so he stopped asking them where they were going.

"This island is huge! We've been walking for so long and we still haven't finished exploring it," Yan Yu said as he followed the others.

Several days have passed, and Yan Yu feels that they probably haven't even finished exploring a small part of the island.

“Yes, it is indeed large,” one of the tomb raiders replied.

Another tomb raider turned to look at Yan Yu, and was about to speak when he heard Shen Jin say, "Isn't there an orchard over there?"

Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, everyone paused for a moment and turned to look at him in unison.

"Which way? Which way is the orchard?" one of the tomb raiders asked.

Shen Jin then pointed in a direction.

Following the direction Chen Jin pointed, everyone looked and saw a mountain. On the hillside, they could vaguely see an orchard, and in the distance, they could see fruit trees laden with fruit.

"Really?" one of the tomb raiders exclaimed instinctively.

The orchard didn't look like a wild orchard; it looked more like an artificial one, because the fruit trees were arranged neatly, and there were fences around it.

Although the fence was so badly damaged that only a small part of its original shape could be seen, it was still in a very bad state.

"This orchard is from ancient times, isn't it?" Yan Yu looked at the orchard and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, it's probably because the place has good feng shui, so it was left behind," one of the tomb raiders replied, turning around.

It's truly remarkable that an ancient orchard has remained so intact to this day. Although these fruit trees can grow and survive on their own, many years have passed since then.

“Let’s go take a look,” one of the tomb raiders suggested.

"Alright, hurry over there. Ah Jin really has a good eye, you saw it all. It's good that you saw it, otherwise we would have missed such a good place." Another tomb raider immediately chimed in.

With that, he strode towards the mountain.

Hearing the tomb raider's words, Shen Jin simply smiled slightly and said nothing.

"We can go pick some fruit to eat now," a tomb raider said with a smile as he walked over.

Soon, the tomb raiders all went to the front, leaving only Yan Yu and Shen Jin behind, as if on purpose.

Shen Jin wasn't in a hurry to pick the fruit, so he walked slowly behind, since he couldn't possibly walk as fast as those tomb raiders.

Moreover, there were so many fruits in that orchard that they could pick them all.

Yan Yu took two steps forward, getting closer to Shen Jin. Shen Jin was already used to Yan Yu's action, so he didn't say anything.

Although we could see the orchard, it was located on a mountain, and it was quite a distance to walk up to it.

The mountain path was a bit difficult, so Yan Yu rushed up the mountain before Shen Jin and reached out his hand to Shen Jin: "Let me help you up."

Shen Jin glanced at Yan Yu, his face expressionless.

After a moment, Shen Jin said calmly, "No need, I can manage on my own."

Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu was slightly taken aback, and then had no choice but to withdraw his hand.

Just as Yan Yu pulled his finger back a little, he heard the tomb raider cough twice loudly not far away.

Yan Yu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned around to look at the tomb raider, only to see that the tomb raider was constantly winking at him.

Shen Jin didn't look at the two of them, and went straight to the gift and walked forward. Yan Yu, on the other hand, saw the look the tomb raider gave him, and finally mustered up his courage and grabbed Shen Jin's hand.

Shen Jin: "??"

Almost without hesitation, Yan Yu led Shen Jin up and they climbed up together. Shen Jin looked at Yan Yu with a completely bewildered expression.

"What are you doing? Didn't I say I didn't need it?" Shen Jin asked.

"I...I am..." Yan Yu stammered, unsure how to answer.

Finally, Yan Yu gripped Shen Jin's hand even tighter: "I'm afraid you'll fall, so I want to hold your hand and walk with you."

Hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin was speechless. The tomb raider, who was secretly observing, nodded in satisfaction and continued walking forward.

He is truly a promising young man.

"I'm not a child." Shen Jin was speechless, but Yan Yu held his hand even tighter...
