Chapter 159 Time Together

This is real, throwing and beating.

Cheng Yu pretended to attack from a sneak attack and trapped her from different angles, while Shu Fu had to knock him to the ground in the shortest time possible and counterattack to trap her.

Cheng Yu was nearly 190cm tall, a difference of more than 20cm between the two. In addition, one of them was a fighter with rich practical experience, while the other, although he had learned from Han Lan and Chen Yuezhen successively, had not had many opportunities to actually fight. So in the first two times, Shu Fu couldn't even escape from the trap, let alone fall down and counter-attack.

Because of these two fights, Cheng Yu basically understood her situation. In the third fight, he readjusted his strength and controlled it to the strength of a normal adult male. This time Shu Fu quickly escaped and successfully recalled the key points that Chen Yuezhen had taught her. She turned around and trapped Cheng Yu on the mat.

Shu Fu used her knees and hands to suppress his hands behind his back, leaned over to his shoulders and neck, and said with a bit of dissatisfaction: "You're letting me off a little too obviously, Captain Cheng!"

The girl's breath brushed against his ear, light and warm, like the tip of a soft feather, passing over his earlobe vaguely.

The area from Cheng Yu's ears to his neck turned red little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye, but the look he gave her from the side was still clear and bright. Because of the angle of his sidelong glance, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and there was even a hint of coldness and sharpness in his look.

How should I put it, it’s just… quite a cute contrast.

Shu Fu found it interesting and felt that his neck was like a special effect, so she reached out to poke it.

As a result, because she loosened one of her hands, the pressure was not strong enough. The next second, his eyes moved slightly, and he immediately let go, and the two began to fight again.

This time, it was not so easy for her to subdue Cheng Yu again. After several rounds, she used a move she had just learned and attacked accurately, thus ending this wrestling lesson.

The rapid and powerful burst made Shu Fu tired and breathless. She sat cross-legged on the yoga mat and asked him why he thought of simulating a battle with her this time, after all, it had never happened before.

She now stays in the safe house on the drifting island every day, and has almost unlimited time with her protective shield. It makes no difference to her whether she has better or average skills.

Cheng Yu's answer was a little vague: "I suddenly wanted to see your skills."

If we really want to talk about it in detail, the source is Han Lan.

He boasted in front of him more than once, saying that he was Shu Fu's first martial arts teacher, and that he missed the time when he trained her in Lou Yuncheng, saying that it was because of his good teaching that she was able to master the essence of self-defense in such a short time...

Even in Han Lan's phone, there is still a photo of them being trapped by Shu Fu in Lou Yuncheng. When the photo was first sent, Cheng Yu was on a mission, and it was a long time before he saw it.

At that time, the world-destroying tsunami had already occurred, and Louyun City was completely destroyed and submerged under water.

The concern in his heart had turned into worry before it even became clear.

Now that things have changed, I can't say how much he cares, but thinking that he has never practiced sparring with her, he always feels like there is something very important that he has not done. It's a rare opportunity to see her, and he doesn't want to miss this opportunity.

"Ah?" Shu Fu was puzzled.

However, Cheng Yu just smiled, squatted in front of her, reached out and gently brushed away a strand of hair that was stuck to the corner of her lips: "This time, I still can't stay with Liu Shuang and the others."

Shu Fu looked up at him and hummed.

He looked at her, his expression filled with guilt and helplessness: "Are you angry? Will you regret it?"

Liu Shuang officially retired, and she will devote all her time to her family who are always worried about her. Not only Liu Shuang, he could have retired and left long ago, or applied for a long vacation and temporarily lived on the raft with others.

But in the past few months, the largest remaining land disasters on the planet have occurred frequently, and he has hesitated for a long time, but he still can't get over this hurdle.

The raft was like a paradise, not only was she there, but it was also peaceful and safe. As long as he stayed, he could live the peaceful life of his dreams. However, can the peace of life also bring peace of mind?

He also wanted to wake up in a place where there was no sound of gunfire, follow her to see the aurora in the ice sea, dive to the bottom of the sea with the raft, and see the mysterious world he had never seen before. He wanted to go to the deeper sea and watch the whales jumping out of the sea, and watch the rainstorm and sunset on the sea with her.

He can grow some fruits, or work in the breeding house. After work every day, he can have a simple dinner with her, and then go to the library to find a book, sit together, read different stories, and share with each other...

He thought of many possibilities and imagined himself living a peaceful and happy life on a raft far away from the land. However, he could not feel at ease when he thought of so many people struggling in dire straits in his own country.

Especially after the previous Sand City incident, the government and the army have always wanted to completely eradicate that organization, and he wanted to do the same.

Not only for the teammates who died in several operations, but also for the other teammates who are still alive and fighting.

Shu Fu looked at him and could understand all the struggle and helplessness behind his question: "I don't regret it, but I'm a little angry."

She deliberately suppressed her expression, then stretched out her thumb and index finger and pointed at him, "But it's just a little bit, the rest is just pride. If you think you have accomplished everything you wanted to do, and you are willing to retire like Sister Liu Shuang, and want to stay on the raft with your family and live a quiet life from now on, then of course it's good.

But if you can't get over it in your heart, if you think you have something to do, and you stay just to be with me, then what's the point of staying like this?"

She looked at his slightly wrinkled brows and stretched out her fingers to smooth out the small wrinkles: "I like the one who would jump into the cold water again and again to look for my Chengyu for a little guess that even I am not sure of. But I also like the Chengyu who turned around and walked against the current on the snowy road for Wenrou, Awen and Qi Kai."

There was a smile in her black and white eyes. He saw the reluctance in her eyes, but also the determination.

She had always understood him this way.

Without saying anything else, he stretched out his arms and leaned over to embrace her.

They don't have much time. After dark tonight, he and Han Lan will embark on the return journey. The next mission will be held deep in the land, far away from the water.

He wants to feel and cherish the time from now until the separation.

After all the new people on the raft had exchanged their wristbands, Shu Fu had already reopened the protective shield. Liu Shuang knew that Cheng Yu and Han Lan would leave at nightfall, so she did not rush about towing the raft. Anyway, she would stay from today on, and there would be plenty of time later, so there was no need to rush.

Her family and the other people who were going to stay there were extremely curious about the hotel. They all felt as if they had entered another world. They had already booked rooms and planned to stay in the hotel tonight to experience it for themselves.

In the afternoon, Shu Fu took Cheng Yu to visit the raft. The last time they met, they were in a hurry, and there were relatively few towed rafts at that time, so it was not as colorful as it is now.

She took him to see the upgraded hotel and plantation, took him to visit the breeding house and told him that the chicken and duck produced in the breeding house were very delicious when used to make soup, then took him to see the swimming pool raft and park raft, into the bookstore, and finally to the Rising Lighthouse Milk Tea Shop.

He followed her and called Chen Yuezhen "Grandma", which made Chen Yuezhen smile with joy.

Afterwards, Chen Yuezhen personally made milk tea for her and Cheng Yu on the spot. It was a milk tea with a northern plateau flavor and added barley. It was fragrant and rich and very delicious.

At around three or four in the afternoon, Longsheng, the one-eyed teammate, Hua Qiong, Jiang Dai... several people who thought they were good cooks entered the hotel's multi-functional kitchen and started cooking.

There were new people on the raft, and today was a welcome party, a practice session, and a way to thank them for the supplies they brought. No one wanted to take those supplies for free, even though they knew that they were taken care of by Shu Fu, they were embarrassed to take them for free.

But they had already exchanged gold and other things for raft points, and it was a bit inappropriate to give points to the raft, so in the end they thought of giving back some supplies to the other party.

This idea coincided with Shu Fu's, but Shu Fu originally wanted to give the other party the vegetables, fruits and meat in his own profit area, but now everyone wanted to give back, so he sorted out some of the vegetables, fruits and meat that he had saved before. The laying hens in the breeding house also started to lay eggs, so he could also give the other party some eggs at the same time.

"Please accept them, otherwise everyone will feel embarrassed to take your gifts." After Shu Fu spoke, Han Lan quickly put the return gifts into his backpack.

The rain that had been falling for several days stopped at around four or five o'clock, so we had dinner on the back deck of the Shufu Villa, which is the largest place with a wide view.

This was a home-cooked dinner, and by the end almost everyone had prepared their best dishes. Cheng Yu and Shu Fu also helped out, Cheng Yu made boiled pork slices, and Shu Fu made sweet and sour spareribs. Yao Ruoyun smiled as soon as she saw them, saying that she could guess where they were from just by looking at the dishes.

Halfway through the meal, the lake outside the raft gradually brightened, the clouds in the west had dispersed at some point, and the warm light of the setting sun fell lightly on the deck, dyeing everyone's face red.

Shu Fu pulled Cheng Yu over and went to the third-floor balcony to watch the sunset.

Everyone else saw it, but no one stood up to follow. At this moment, everyone was extremely understanding and no one wanted to disturb them.

The raft was facing the setting sun in the west. Shu Fu opened all the windows and tried to climb up by holding the fence. The fence on the windowsill was narrow and high, so it was not easy to climb up. But soon, a pair of big hands reached out from behind her, grasped her waist, and lifted her up steadily, letting her sit on the fence.

She smiled at Cheng Yu behind her, held his shoulders, moved both feet outside the fence, and faced the front of the raft.

Cheng Yu stood behind her, carefully protecting her sides with his hands on the left and right, and watched this rare sunset with her. When the sunlight completely disappeared at this moment, he would set off on his journey again.

He knew what decision he had made, and he also knew that he would miss her very much.

In the past, he always thought of her, but not like now, because they had confirmed some things with each other, causing the longing in his heart to always be like overgrown weeds, silent but endless.

Shu Fu reached out her hand and gently hooked the back of his hand that was protecting her side, and was immediately held by his big hand, tightly in his palm. At the same time, his other hand also came up, holding her waist and pulling her into his arms.

In fact, there were some things that Shu Fu did not say either. At this stage, she would not think too much about the distant future, after all, the mystery of this world has not yet been figured out. There were many things that he could not control, and she could not guarantee him.

In fact, it’s good this way. We care about each other, but at the same time, we will never become shackles that bind each other’s wings.

Night falls and separation is imminent.

Han Lan left his parents' room and walked to the courtyard in front of the hotel, where he saw Liu Shuang leaning against the deck fence.

When he passed by, she just turned around: "Are you leaving?"

"Um."

She nodded, and quickly added: "This place is much better than I thought. It's like - another peaceful world. Do you really want to consider... staying?"

Han Lan raised his eyes to look at her, and after a moment he suddenly smiled: "What? Are you reluctant to let me go?"

Liu Shuang didn't say anything, just looked at him with the same expression as before.

Han Lan knew that she had never liked his playful appearance. He looked at her for a moment, and his smile was a little helpless: "I can't help it. You know Cheng Yu is getting older and older, and his injuries are getting more and more. I have to look after him and not let him do anything wrong. What if he dies when I'm not here?"

At this point, Han Lan's eyes dimmed a little: "If that's the case, I probably will never forgive myself in my life..."

After another moment, Liu Shuang spoke again: "Go, take good care of him, don't worry about your parents, I'm here."

Han Lan nodded, and he saw an off-road vehicle slowly driving from the deck onto the land. Cheng Yu got off the off-road vehicle and drove another pickup truck on the deck. This time, they went back in two cars each.

He had already raised his feet, but as he took the first step, he turned back again: "I'm leaving. I don't know when we'll meet again after this departure. Don't you... want to hug me?"

He thought Liu Shuang would reject him speechlessly like she did every time before, but she quickly stepped forward and hugged him: "Stop talking nonsense, I'm waiting for you to come back and tow the raft!"

Han Lan raised the corners of his lips and said in a light tone: "I know, I will be back soon."

**

Before midnight that night, Liu Shuang came out of the hotel after settling everyone and all the trivial matters. After confirming that Shu Fu couldn't sleep either, they unanimously decided to tow the raft first.

Shu Fu removed the park raft that was now towing position 8, and then asked Liu Shuang to take out her raft in the vacated water area.

[Towing location: Liu Shuang's raft (Bond value: 87).] [Starting shared function: Option 1 (Protective shield); Option 2: (Sewage treatment); Option 3: (Water purification)] [Special: Upgraded suit (Shelter)] (Note: When the raft is untethered, the upgraded suit will automatically fall off and disappear, and the upgraded level will be reset to zero)]

Liu Shuang chose the sharing function after listening to the existing energy rafts, because the "water resource" energy raft can only provide 24-hour purified water to 5 rafts. Her towing raft is the 6th one, and she certainly cannot compete with others because it is a first-come, first-served basis.

If Liu Shuang did not choose water resources, he would probably have to wait for the shield to close and filter and store water every day, just like the other friends on the raft. If he was unlucky and the upgraded cabin did not have a compressed water tank, he would not even be able to use the shower room.

However, the "electric energy" raft has not been distributed yet because it has not been towed yet. If she really needs electricity urgently, she can directly replace the "swimming pool" raft with the "electric energy" raft.

After towing, she did not rush out, but began to readjust the position of the raft.

Even though the other rafts with owners became larger due to upgrades, she had no intention of changing their positions. What she wanted to change was the unmanned raft.

Currently, the water resource raft is at position 5 and the swimming pool raft is at position 7. One of them is smaller and the other is larger. She plans to move the water resource raft so that they are just the right size. In this way, Liu Shuang's raft can be moved next to the tree house library.

However, this exchange was not smooth, and a subtitle soon popped up on the screen: Attention, the upgrade set (shelter) is special and the trailer position cannot be changed.

No way to change?

Is it because the No. 5 position cannot be changed?

Shu Fu thought about it and tried to exchange Liu Shuang's raft at position 8 with that at position 7, but it still didn't work.

Without trying again, she opened the door and crossed the deck, walking along the long wooden connecting passage toward the back of the raft.
