Chapter 171 That’s what he left behind last night

The yacht approached the deep sea little by little. In the distance was a vast ocean. The water was deep, blue, and boundless, with the sea and sky merging into one.

The waves surged, and the oncoming air was filled with a faint salty smell.

The staff prepared the fishing gear and everyone was ready to start fishing.

"There are many of us, why don't we place a bet? Whoever catches the least will get to treat everyone else to a meal."

No one has any objection.

After choosing their respective positions, Cen Wan fiddled with her fishing rod, while Shen Yixiao stood lazily beside her with his hands in his pockets: "Do you know how to do it?"

"Call me brother and I'll help you."

Cen Wan lowered her head: "No, I can do it myself."

Shen Yixiao shrugged regretfully: "Okay."

"But don't cry if you don't catch any fish later."

Cen Wan looked up at him with an expression that said, "What the hell are you talking about?"

After she put the bait on, she gently threw the hook into the sea and began to wait. The others did the same. Shen Yixiao did not move and just stood behind her.

She turned around and looked at him: "Why are you watching over me if you don't go fishing?"

Shen Yixiao curled his lips: "I'm here to accompany my girlfriend, not to go fishing."

After hearing this, Jiang Yuan, who was standing next to them, moved a little further away from the two of them. It was too noisy and was affecting her performance.

"I caught it."

There was no movement here, but Xu Yousheng had already caught a grouper over there. Cen Wan looked over enviously and asked, "Shengsheng, how come you are so amazing?"

Xu Yousheng curled his lips, took the fish off and threw it into the bucket: "My home is by the sea. When I was a child, I often went fishing with my grandfather, so I have experience."

Hearing this, Qin Yanxiu couldn't help but look at her again.

Jiang Yuan immediately approached her: "I'm here to learn from you."

Seeing Cen Wan's eyes filled with envy, Shen Yixiao pinched her face and made her look toward the sea. He then put his arms around her from behind and began to teach her: "Because of the ripples in the sea, the pulling sensation when the fish bites the hook isn't that noticeable, so you..."

Cen Wan's attention was indeed drawn back, and she listened to him carefully.

Ji Yuanchen, who was standing at the end, held his pole, looked at this and that, and finally walked towards Qin Yanxiu: "Brother Yan, they are all in pairs, and it's just the two of us who are left to rely on each other."

Qin Yanxiu glanced at him and calmly pulled up his fishing line. A red line fish was biting the hook.

He put the fish into the bucket without saying a word, but it seemed as if he had said everything.

Ji Yuanchen: He shouldn’t be here!

Gradually, everyone began to reap rewards.

Cen Wan excitedly reeled in her line, expecting a large fish, but it turned out to be a crab. She took a look and said, "A crab is fine, maybe a tonight snack."

Shen Yixiao pinched her face: "It's just the beginning, don't be anxious."

Everyone fished, chatted for a while, and then changed positions. They caught a lot.

The things in the bucket gradually increased, including blackhead, black-edged grouper, stone fish, Spanish mackerel, sea bass, yellow croaker...all kinds of fish.

"Wow, look at mine, look at mine!" Ji Yuanchen exclaimed and pulled up a knife fish. It was in the shape of a silvery white ribbon, sparkling in the sun like a mirror, very beautiful.

"You're a bit lucky, kid."

Ji Yuanchen shook his head proudly: "I want to clear my name!"

We played until three or four in the afternoon and were about to return. Suddenly, a series of clear whistles were heard in the distance. A thin layer of mist floated at the junction of the sea and the sky, the waves were surging, and the back of the fin was vaguely visible above the water.

Xu Yousheng exclaimed in surprise: "Look, it's a dolphin!"

When everyone looked up, they saw a group of dolphins competing to jump out of the water. The deep blue sea suddenly came alive, and their silver-gray bodies drew graceful arcs in the air, reflecting rainbow-like water mist.

Cen Wan leaned forward, holding onto the railing, eyes full of surprise: "Chen Yixiao, look! We actually saw dolphins!"

Shen Yixiao half-hugged her to prevent her from falling, and looked up at her: "Well, you are lucky."

Several dolphins swam past the bottom of the boat, their figures appearing and disappearing through the clear blue water.

Xu Yousheng picked out two small fish from the bucket and threw them into the water. Immediately, a small dolphin sank into the water, then jumped out of the water, making a long and melodious whistle and circling around the boat.

Xu Yousheng fed two more fish, and the dolphin leaped high, its scimitar-like silhouette embedded in the orange-red sunset behind it. As it fell, it splashed a huge amount of water.

Xu Yousheng bent down towards the water and was splashed with water.

She subconsciously dodged for a moment, and when she opened her eyes again, a smile flickered in her clear, dark almond-shaped eyes. She stretched out her hand, and the dolphin surfaced, rubbing her palm with its snout.

Then it sank to the surface and swam away with the main group, and the sea surface returned to calm.

The sun began to set, and the clouds in the sky gradually transitioned from blazing golden red to soft light purple. The water surface shimmered, as if sparkling with countless tiny pieces of gold foil.

Jiang Yuan handed the towel to Xu Yousheng and showed her his phone: "I just took a lot of pictures, they're really nice, I'll send them to you later."

Xu Yousheng wiped the water off her face and curled her lips: "Well, thank you Yuanyuan."

Cen Wan asked curiously, "Shengsheng, are you very familiar with the ocean? Dolphins are so close to you."

Xu Yousheng: "Maybe it's because I grew up by the sea, so I'm more familiar with the habits of these marine animals. If you're interested, I'll take you back to my hometown when I'm free."

"In our family, fishing and going out to sea are very common. I will show you how fishermen live."

"Okay." Jiang Yuan nodded, "I can also collect some materials by the way."

Cen Wan laughed: "How come you are so dedicated? You can turn anything you do into collecting materials."

Jiang Yuan held his head high and chest puffed out: "This is the quality that an author and screenwriter should have."

"Okay, you're amazing. You'll definitely become the best screenwriter in the industry."

After chatting for a while, Cen Wan was taken back by Shen Yixiao to watch the sunset, while Jiang Yuan was taking pictures to record the footage.

Xu Yousheng stood at the stern. The setting sun melted into gold, the low-hanging clouds were dyed orange and red, the waves beat against the side of the ship, and occasionally a few seabirds flew by. She seemed to be covered with a layer of gentle glow.

She was looking at the seaside, when suddenly a coat was draped over her from behind. She turned around in surprise.

Qin Yanxiu stood beside her, his peach blossom eyes slightly raised, and his thin lips parted: "Your clothes are wet."

Xu Yousheng subconsciously glanced back, gathered his clothes, and whispered, "Thank you."

She hadn't expected Qin Yanxiu to do this. Even though no one was watching them, there were still other people around. After all, in the eyes of others, they had no friendship at all.

Qin Yanxiu stared at the end of her hair, which had been splashed with water, his eyelids slightly lowered. Her clothes were thin, and the slightest bit of water made them see through.

What's more, there were some uncovered marks on the back of her neck.

That's what he left behind last night.

Thinking of her smiling face when she was feeding the dolphins just now, his eyes dimmed slightly.

It is much more vivid than when it is directed at myself.
