Chapter 110
After Shi Yu finished applying the ointment, he looked in front of the mirror and found that the marks seemed not to be very obvious.
The next day was a social dance at sea. Shigure was not one of Sturga's Omega, so he still didn't have to attend. The other members of Sturga who were not planning or needed to attend the dance had an activity in the afternoon, which was said to be a speedboat tour to enjoy the sea view.
Shi Yu was very interested in this activity. Although Noah would definitely stay with her, he would definitely come over if she stayed in the hotel, so it didn't matter.
——After she came back from playing with Phil yesterday, she figured it out! Why should she let herself down? After all, the trial marriage period would be over in just over a month. As long as she left him, her life would be back on track. She would never again be toyed with by him like this!
Shi Yu put down the ointment, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not put on the scarf. When she heard a knock on the door, she went to open it.
"Shigure, good morning!"
The white-haired, baby-faced Alpha greeted her with a smile and glanced at her again: "You look in good spirits. Are you not angry anymore? Oh, this is for you."
Shi Yu said "thank you," and when he took it, he saw that it was seasickness medicine in his hand.
"Aren't we going on a speedboat ride this afternoon? Two or three o'clock is exactly when you're most tired, so it's better to be prepared."
"Yeah, okay," Shi Yu nodded, "Remember to prepare some for yourself as well."
Phil made an "OK" gesture, then walked around Shigure and lay down on the sofa. Shigure handed him an apple, and Phil took it and bit it without any hesitation.
"Oh? I just realized that you..."
Phil raised his eyes, his gaze fixed on the girl's lips. Shi Yu became nervous and blocked his eyes with his hands, "W-what's wrong?"
"Is the bite on your face healed?"
"Um……"
"You can still see a little swelling. How did they bite me in the mouth?" Phil couldn't help laughing. "It must be painful, right? I've been bitten on the tip of my nose and eyelids before, and they hurt much more than other places."
"I can't stand it. How can there be such annoying bugs?"
Shigure's face grew redder and redder, her head practically hitting the table as the boy grumbled nonchalantly.
Ouch! I should have covered it earlier...
"I, I'll pay attention next time." Shigure's face flushed red, and he obviously changed the subject. "By the way, Phil, thank you for yesterday."
"Ah? No need to thank me, I had a lot of fun myself." Phil waved his hand, took another bite of the apple, and asked vaguely, "Noah didn't look for you yesterday, did he?"
"No."
"It doesn't matter if he comes to you again. You're on a trial marriage with him, so there has to be contact," Phil comforted her. "If he makes you angry again, just ignore him and come to me."
"I'll take you out to play. Anything is fine."
Shi Yu took this as a joke. It was okay to do it once or twice, but how could she frequently go out to play alone with her brother when she was on a trial marriage with his brother? So she said embarrassedly: "Well, thank you, but I think..."
"Inappropriate?"
Phil asked directly, Shi Yu was stunned for a moment, she just wanted to say that she could be alone, but Phil said this, actually extracting the subconscious meaning of her words.
Phil curled his lips: "What's inappropriate? Just treat me as a tool to relieve your depression and loneliness at any time. Don't consider what I think. If you say that, I welcome it!"
...?
Shi Yu felt that these words were a bit strange. He couldn't say what was strange about them, but everything about them was strange.
She was silent for a moment, struggling to organize her words: "Uh, no, that's not right. I believe that friends are equals. I won't treat you as a tool."
"Oh, my friend..."
Phil threw the fruit core into the trash can, wiped his fingertips with paper, and sighed meaningfully.
Shi Yu thought for a moment and added, "But I understand what you mean, Phil. Thank you for saying that."
Although the statement was a bit exaggerated, Phil actually just wanted to express his concern for Shigure, and Shigure felt it!
Phil raised his eyebrows but said nothing. After finishing the fruit, he stood up as if he was about to leave. Shi Yu also stood up and walked him to the door.
As he opened the door, he turned around leisurely and asked Shi Yu one last time, "Let me ask you this, Shi Yu, do you really understand what I just meant?"
Shi Yu said "Huh", hesitated for a moment, looked at him and nodded.
"Hmm, maybe...?"
Phil smiled. As a teenager in the growth spurt, his figure was relatively slimmer than his peers. However, his cute and handsome baby face gave him a youthful look that did not look out of place.
"Actually, it's inappropriate for me to come to you like this during your trial marriage with Noah, right? I'm not your servant or bodyguard." Phil smiled at her and asked, "Since you can accept this level, why can't you accept more?"
He didn't give Shi Yu a chance to speak, and continued on his own: "You don't like Noah anyway, so why do you always have to think about whether it's suitable or not? If you don't want to think about this, I don't care about your relationship with my brother. As long as you are happy, isn't that enough?"
"Uh... that's right, but?"
Shi Yu was overwhelmed by the amount of information in his words and didn't know where to start to refute him.
Phil seized the opportunity and took advantage of the girl's misfortune, relying on the not-so-exaggerated height difference to pat her on the head.
"If you're really worried, we'll just stay away from Noah," he said, then waved goodbye with a smile, "I'm leaving now. Remember what I said, you can come find me anytime."
"See you this afternoon, Shigure."
Phil walked away in a leisurely manner, leaving Shi Yu with a confused look on his face.
She always felt that Phil's words were too abstract, no, even... ambiguous. Hiding from Noah? Using him as a tool to relieve loneliness? Just being happy was enough—this, this, this... It always felt like the words of the third party in some TV drama about marriage crises!
Shi Yu blushed, took a deep breath, and told himself not to think too much.
She knew Phil's mouth, he must be joking, that's right!
The afternoon arrived quickly, and Noah came to pick her up after lunch. Nicole had to stay in the hotel, and Shigure only took Yulai with him. The three of them took a plane to the coastline together.
The speedboat for sightseeing was a ten-seater, with the captain and a waiter, a total of twelve people. Shi Yu felt a little relieved because she didn't have to be alone with Noah and didn't see Xiu, so she got on the boat with her skirt lifted.
Noah and she sat together in the third row by the window. Yu Lai looked around and wanted to sit behind Shi Yu, but unexpectedly a white figure suddenly appeared next to him. He staggered and said angrily, "Hey! Phil, what are you doing?"
"Sit over there." Phil crossed his legs and took the seat Youlai had just chosen. He pointed to the seat across the aisle and said, "I like the sun. Sit here and get some sun."
Yu Lai glared at him, but there was nothing he could do. After glancing at Shi Yu, he angrily went to the other side of the aisle.
Shi Yu turned her head slightly to pay attention to the situation behind her, but Noah happened to talk to her, and her attention was distracted, so she didn't see Phil smile at her.
The afternoon sunshine was comfortable and relaxing. Shi Yu had the habit of taking a nap. He lay on the seat and dozed off for a while before waiting for the boat to depart. He almost fell asleep. In the hazy state, Shi Yu couldn't help but curl up his fingertips in the swaying waves.
After realizing the warmth on the back of her hand, Shiyu squinted her eyes and her first reaction was to pull her hand back. Noah had no choice but to hold it tightly and whispered to her: "Shiyu, the speedboat will encounter waves soon and the boat will be very bumpy."
“…I’m not afraid.”
The boy's palm tapped her lightly, and Shi Yu responded in a low voice with embarrassment.
As soon as he finished speaking, the speedboat shook violently and Shi Yu tilted violently. Fortunately, he had fastened his seat belt and his forehead did not hit the window, but the back of his head suddenly hit Noah's shoulder.
She suppressed a cry of pain and subconsciously squeezed Noah's hand tightly. Noah seemed to chuckle, then turned slightly and stretched out his other hand to help Shi Yu gently massage the place where she was bumped.
"Be careful," he said.
Shi Yu was surrounded by the smell of cedar, and pursed his lips angrily, but did not struggle anymore.
The speedboat was now sailing into a windy and choppy area, with waves coming one after another. Shigure was swaying with the boat. The Alpha inside the boat was fine, but her face was getting paler and paler, and she felt a little nauseous due to the violent shaking.
Huge waves came with the wind, and countless floating phosphorus fish and shrimps were thrown into the air and rushed past the window. This should have been a scene that Shi Yu wanted to see very much. However, because of the discomfort in her stomach, she could only curl up in the seat at this moment, and Noah patted her back gently with understanding to relieve the discomfort.
"Don't you have any seasickness medicine?"
Shi Yu thought about it... and seemed to have really forgotten to bring it, so he shook his head weakly.
"I know. Wait a minute."
Five minutes later, the boat became stable. Noah unbuckled his safety buckle, stood up, and talked to the waiter in the first row.
Shiyu was rubbing her stomach in a daze when Phil suddenly called out from behind: "Shiyu, Shiyu?"
"Give me your hand."
Shi Yu reacted slowly and passed her hand to Phil through the gap in the seat. Phil stuffed something into her palm, then clenched it tightly and complained, "I specially prepared seasickness medicine for you, how could you forget it?"
Shi Yu leaned back in his seat and explained softly, "I forgot when I went out..."
"It's okay, I won't blame you." Phil pinched the flesh on her palm and said with a smile, "I brought some extra medicine, you can take it."
After Shi Yu mumbled her thanks, Phil's strength relaxed. However, when Shi Yu was about to pull her hand back to take the medicine, she felt his wrist being tightly gripped again, with such force that it almost hurt her.
"Aren't you used to the smell?"
Seeing Shi Yu's frown, Noah brought the ginger tea and sat back next to her. "With the addition of lemon, it shouldn't be too spicy. It's better to let it cool down a bit before drinking."
Unable to resist the Alpha's strength, Shigure shifted his body uncomfortably, blocking his intertwined fingers with Phil's under the seat, and hummed guiltily.
Then she whispered again, "...Thank you."
"No need to thank me, Shigure."
Noah sealed the ginger tea and placed it outside, then looked at Shi Yu with a smile, "I'll just do whatever I can for you."
As the boy's gentle voice fell, the other hand was also held.
Shi Yu's shoulders trembled, and she wanted to withdraw her fingertips as if she was retreating, but neither the one next to her nor the one behind her would let her go. She blushed with embarrassment, her eyelashes trembled, and she looked like she was about to be bullied to tears.
"...Can you please let me go?"
While praying softly to Noah, Shiyu still did not give up Phil's struggle. It was just that Phil seemed to be competing with her. Not only did he not let her go, he also gently tickled the flesh of her palm with his fingertips. The excessive mischief made Shiyu tremble all over, and she had to lean her body further to block the abnormality on this side.
"Yeah," Noah responded softly, but he didn't retract his strength first. He just said calmly, "Just wait a moment."
Shi Yu: “…”
Wuwu, she thought tearfully in her heart... Help! !
