Chapter 213 Even the most beautiful scenery can't compare to someone right next to you.
Finally, Shen Jin couldn't stand Yan Yu's persistent pleading and had no choice but to slowly eat the fruits that Shen Jin had given him.
Yan Yu was very happy. He picked up the camera he had taken from Shen Jin and played with it, studying how to use it. He flipped through the landscape photos that Shen Jin had just taken, and each one was particularly beautiful.
After a while, Yan Yu put the camera in front of his eyes, took a few pictures of the scenery, and then secretly took a picture of Chen Jin's back.
Shen Jin didn't notice and continued walking as usual.
Yan Yu took several photos in a row. Two of them were blurry, but he was very satisfied with the rest. He took great photos of Chen Jin, which looked very beautiful and artistic, thanks to the scenery.
"Shen Jin." Yan Yu suddenly called out to Shen Jin.
"Hmm?" Shen Jin turned around when he heard Yan Yu call him.
In that instant, Yan Yu immediately pressed the shutter, and Shen Jin's glance back was captured.
When Shen Jin saw Yan Yu pointing the camera at him, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that Yan Yu was taking pictures of him.
"What are you doing? Give it to me!" Shen Jin hurriedly stepped forward to snatch the camera from Yan Yu's hand.
Yan Yu immediately put the camera behind his back to prevent Shen Jin from snatching it.
If Shen Jin gets hold of them, he will definitely delete the pictures he took.
"Bring it here," Shen Jin said coldly.
"No, no, I didn't take any pictures." Yan Yu quickly explained to Shen Jin, refusing to let Shen Jin take the camera away.
"Hurry up." Shen Jin didn't want to say anything more to Shen Jin.
Seeing Shen Jin's unyielding attitude, Yan Yu pursed his lips in grievance. Having no other choice, he reluctantly took the camera out from behind his back and handed it to Shen Jin.
Chen Jin picked up the camera with a disgruntled expression, glanced at it, and was about to start deleting the photos.
"They're all really well-shot, don't delete them..." Yan Yu looked at Shen Jin and weakly tried to stop him.
Shen Jin glanced at him, ignored him, and continued deleting the photos.
Chen Jin showed no mercy and deleted several images in one go.
Yan Yu kept deleting photos until he finally snapped the last one Yan Yu took, a picture of Shen Jin turning around. At that point, Yan Yu finally lost his composure.
"How about we keep just one copy?" Yan Yu asked cautiously.
Shen Jin ignored him and was about to press the delete button when Yan Yu instinctively grabbed Shen Jin's hand, preventing him from deleting it.
"Just keep one, don't delete any more." Yan Yu looked intently at Shen Jin, his face full of grievance.
Hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin looked up at him but said nothing.
“I really like this one,” Yan Yu continued.
As he spoke, Yan Yu, that shameless guy, somehow managed to turn his eyes red and stare at him.
Shen Jin: "..."
Finally, Shen Jin pursed his lips, withdrew his hand, and did not delete the last photo.
Seeing Shen Jin's actions, Yan Yu was slightly taken aback, then immediately laughed, his previous gloom vanishing.
At this moment, the tomb raiders who had been following behind also caught up, looking at the two of them with meaningful smiles.
The group then continued deeper into the area, where the scenery appeared increasingly ancient.
There were several strange ancient buildings, and Shen Jin, feeling curious, took pictures of them with his camera.
Sometimes, you can also see some small animals, such as monkeys and squirrels, who just watch them from a distance, curious about these strangers.
As soon as they got close, they immediately ran away.
After a while, the group was blocked by a river.
"Wow, there's a river..." one of the tomb raiders exclaimed as he looked at the river.
Yan Yu looked at the river in front of him and was immediately troubled.
The river isn't too big or too small, but you'd have to swim to cross it, and the water level is clearly higher than other rivers.
He could only walk in water that was shorter than himself; if the water was higher, Yan Yu would definitely not be able to cross.
"Let's swim across," another tomb raider said at that moment.
As soon as he said that, everyone turned to look at Yan Yu. Yan Yu was immediately embarrassed. Not being able to swim was indeed a real hassle.
"Well... how about you guys go ahead first, and I'll take a detour to catch up with you?" Yan Yu asked with an awkward smile.
“That’s too much trouble, and what if you get separated from us?” Immediately, some tomb raiders felt that Yan Yu’s idea was not feasible.
Now, Yan Yu didn't know what to do either.
“I’ll take him there,” Shen Jin said at this moment.
Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, everyone was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned to look at Shen Jin. Yan Yu was also stunned for a moment.
"Are you sure you can do it?" someone asked worriedly.
After all, helping someone cross a river is no easy task.
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems," Shen Jin replied with a smile.
Hearing what Shen Jin said, they didn't say anything more.
"Then you'd better be careful," the tomb raider warned.
Shen Jin nodded in agreement, and then the tomb raiders swam across the river to the other side. Shen Jin then turned to look at Yan Yu, who was immediately stunned.
"Well, I think I should think of another way. It's too dangerous for you to take me there," Yan Yu said cautiously, looking at Shen Jin.
"What solutions can you think of?" Chen Jin asked.
Yan Yu was speechless.
Then, Shen Jin sighed.
"If you can't swim, you shouldn't have come along. You're such a nuisance," Shen Jin couldn't help but complain to Yan Yu.
Upon hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu felt extremely aggrieved.
"If I hadn't come along, would I ever have seen you again..." Yan Yu said sullenly after a moment.
Shen Jin paused slightly, pursed his lips, and remained silent.
After a while, Shen Jin took a deep breath and stepped into the river.
“Come here, I’ll take you there,” Shen Jin said to Yan Yu.
Yan Yu stood still.
"What are you doing?" Shen Jin looked at Yan Yu and couldn't help but ask.
"I'm afraid something will happen if you take me across the river," Yan Yu replied in a low voice after hearing Shen Jin's question.
Upon hearing Yan Yu's answer, Shen Jin felt somewhat helpless.
"It's alright, as long as you don't move around too much, you'll be fine," Shen Jin replied after a moment.
Yan Yu remained silent for a while, then slowly walked over and went into the water.
As soon as he stepped into the water, Shen Jin hugged Yan Yu tightly. Yan Yu was startled, and then Shen Jin held him close, resting his head on his shoulder.
"Breathe on your own," Shen Jin said to Yan Yu.
After saying that, Shen Jin started swimming into the river. Yan Yu was a little nervous and held Shen Jin tightly around the waist.
Fortunately, Shen Jin was very skilled, and nothing happened. He managed to get Yan Yu to the other side of the river without incident.
Throughout the ordeal, Yan Yu felt his heart pounding incredibly fast; he was extremely nervous.
After getting ashore, Chen Jin sat on the bank, wringing out the water by twisting his clothes.
"Wow, Ah Jin, your swimming skills are amazing!" One of the tomb raiders couldn't help but exclaim in admiration of Shen Jin's swimming skills.
It's amazing how easily someone could swim across like that.
Hearing his words, Shen Jin smiled slightly but said nothing.
The group rested for a while before continuing deeper into the area.
Yan Yu remained by Shen Jin's side.
"Shen Jin, when you have time, can you teach me to swim?" Yan Yu walked beside Shen Jin, hesitated for a moment, and then asked.
Upon hearing Yan Yu's words, Shen Jin was slightly taken aback.
"...Okay." After a long while, Shen Jin finally answered Yan Yu.
Yan Yu was somewhat surprised, not expecting Shen Jin to agree. He thought Shen Jin would refuse outright as he had done before.
"Thank you," Yan Yu quickly said with a smile.
"It's nothing," Shen Jin replied, pursing his lips.
Yan Yu was about to say something when he suddenly felt something hit his head. He cried out and covered the back of his head.
"Who hit me?" Yan Yu turned around and looked.
Shen Jin, who was standing next to him, was also stunned for a moment and turned to look at Yan Yu.
The tomb raiders turned around in confusion.
"Did someone smash your things?" one of the tomb raiders asked.
They were all walking ahead of Yan Yu, and Yan Yu was walking at the back, so why would someone hit him?
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat tense.
Yan Yu glanced at them, then looked down at the ground, bent down and picked up an apple from the grass.
"An apple?" Shen Jin stared at the apple, stunned.
That's the apple that hit Yan Yu on the head just now.
The other tomb raiders looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Could there be other people on this island?" At this moment, one of the tomb raiders asked cautiously.
The others were stunned for a moment, and then quickly looked around, but they couldn't see anyone.
A moment later, Yan Yu looked up and suddenly saw a little monkey squatting on a tree in front of him, with Gouzi holding a few apples in his arms.
"You're the one who hit me!"
Upon hearing Yan Yu's shout, the tomb raiders all looked up immediately: "Who?!"
Everyone was stunned when they realized it was a monkey, having initially thought it would be a person.
The monkey was standing on a branch, holding a few apples, looking at them with an innocent expression. Its face was as red as its buttocks, which was strangely comical.
For a moment, everyone was completely silent.
Is this monkey some kind of supernatural being? It's actually throwing apples at people!
Yan Yu looked helplessly at the monkey. It really hurt when it was hit on the head by such a big apple.
However, the monkey actually imitated Yan Yu's actions, pointing at him and making some noises.
Yan Yu's eyelids twitched.
Everyone else stared at the monkey, then burst out laughing.
"Pfft, hahaha, this monkey is imitating you!" A tomb raider laughed loudly, clutching his stomach.
Yan Yu knew he had been teased by this monkey, and smiled helplessly.
By this time, the tomb raiders were laughing so hard they couldn't straighten up.
"Hahaha, Yan Yu, look how much the little monkey likes you!" A tomb raider leaned against a tree, laughing so hard he almost couldn't breathe.
Yan Yu looked at him, somewhat speechless.
Is it really necessary to laugh so happily?
"Yeah, the little monkey wasn't hitting you just now, it was offering you an apple," another tomb raider said with a laugh.
Listening to their words, Shen Jin couldn't help but chuckle, finding the little monkey quite adorable.
Seeing that Shen Jin was also smiling, Yan Yu couldn't help but want to laugh too.
Shen Jin pursed his lips, his eyes full of smiles, but he didn't smile like the tomb raiders; instead, he smiled faintly.
Seeing that Shen Jin was happy, Yan Yu stopped being angry with that monkey.
This monkey was different from the others they had seen before. The monkeys they had seen before were all afraid of people and would run away as soon as they saw someone coming. But this monkey seemed to be unafraid of people at all.
Not only are they not afraid of people, but they also bar their teeth and claws, looking quite imposing.
The monkey didn't understand what Yan Yu was talking about, so it scratched its head, then picked up an apple and threw it at Yan Yu.
Yan Yu quickly took a step back to avoid it.
"You monkey..." Yan Yu pretended to go up and hit it.
The monkey made a face at Yan Yu, then suddenly leaped up and ran away.
Within seconds, the monkey had disappeared from sight, and Yan Yu was immediately annoyed.
The tomb raiders mocked Yan Yu without any politeness.
"Alright, it's just a monkey, there's nothing to be angry about." At this moment, Shen Jin smiled and said to Yan Yu.
Upon hearing Shen Jin speak, Yan Yu was momentarily stunned, then quickly nodded in response.
One of the tomb raiders said with a smile, "Look, the little monkey gave you two apples, so you and Ah Jin can each have one."
The tomb raiders burst into laughter again.
The group continued walking forward, and Yan Yu returned to Shen Jin's side once again.
"Why do you always have to follow me?" Shen Jin couldn't help but turn to look at Yan Yu and ask.
"Because I'm afraid of losing you." Yan Yu said, his dark eyes fixed on Shen Jin.
"..." Upon hearing Yan Yu's reply, Shen Jin was slightly taken aback and remained silent, inwardly grumbling to himself, wondering who had embarrassed whom.
The group continued walking, and Yan Yu chatted with Shen Jin. Although Shen Jin didn't talk much, he would still answer Yan Yu's questions from time to time, which made Yan Yu very happy.
"Look here," a tomb raider said at that moment.
Upon hearing his words, everyone stopped in their tracks and looked up. Before them stood an ancient building, a very large one. Although it was now in ruins, it was not hard to imagine its former grandeur.
"This place has such a great feel to it," Chen Jin said, looking at the ruins.
As he spoke, Shen Jin picked up his camera, took a picture, looked down at it, and was extremely satisfied.
"Haha, shall we go in and have some fun?" one of the tomb raiders chuckled and said.
"Is that okay?" Upon hearing his words, Shen Jin immediately became excited.
"Of course," the tomb raider replied with a smile.
Yan Yu looked at Shen Jin and saw that Shen Jin seemed very happy, so he smiled too.
"Then let's go have some fun," Yan Yu said to the tomb raider.
"Okay." The tomb raider quickly replied with a smile, then paused and added, "But be careful, this place is already very dangerous. If something collapses, it will be troublesome, so we can't play for too long."
“Okay, then we’ll play for a while and then come out,” Chen Jin quickly replied.
So the group walked into the ruins of the ancient building.
Shen Jin had just taken a step when Yan Yu grabbed his hand from behind, causing Shen Jin a headache.
"I'm afraid you'll get lost, so I'll hold your hand," Yan Yu said cautiously, looking at Shen Jin.
Shen Jin looked at Yan Yu and sighed.
"I won't get lost, you're the one who's going to get lost," Shen Jin said to Yan Yu, somewhat speechless.
Hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu was afraid of being driven away, so he held Shen Jin's hand tightly, lowered his head, and didn't say anything.
Seeing Yan Yu like this, Shen Jin lost his temper.
"Fine, fine, you hold my hand," Chen Jin said helplessly.
Yan Yu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up. He gripped Chen Jin's hand tighter, feeling a little nervous.
Shen Jin glanced at Yan Yu, then led him inside.
The two followed at the very back, looking at the ruins.
As soon as they entered, Shen Jin wanted to take a picture, and Yan Yu had no choice but to reluctantly let go of Shen Jin's hand to let him take the picture, but still walked very close to him.
After walking for a while, Chen Jin saw an ancient well. The ground outside the well was covered with moss, and the well had long since run dry.
Chen Jin was a little curious, so he came to the well and looked down at it.
Below was pitch black; nothing could be seen.
Suddenly, Shen Jin's head was shoved hard into the well, startling him.
The hand quickly loosened its grip, and Shen Jin looked up to see Yan Yu smiling at him. Shen Jin was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"You want to fly to the heavens, don't you?!" Shen Jin reached out and was about to slap Yan Yu on the head.
Yan Yu laughed and dodged away: "I was wrong."
"Get lost!" Shen Jin was unmoved and stepped forward to hit Yan Yu again.
Yan Yu kept running, and Shen Jin chased after him for a while before suddenly realizing how childish his behavior was and immediately stopped, feeling a bit awkward.
Why would he play such a silly game with Yan Yu?
Seeing that Shen Jin had stopped, Yan Yu was stunned. He then immediately ran back and came to Shen Jin.
"Don't be angry, I'll let you hit me," Yan Yu immediately said to Shen Jin.
Shen Jin snapped out of her daze, looked at Yan Yu, and shoved him away: "Get out of my way, who wants to play with you?!"
After saying that, Shen Jin left directly. Yan Yu was stunned for two seconds, pursed his lips, and then followed him.
"Are you angry?" Yan Yu asked hesitantly as he approached Chen Jin.
Shen Jin glanced at him, too lazy to answer.
"Then hit me, I promise I won't run away this time," Yan Yu said quickly when he saw that Shen Jin didn't speak.
"When I wanted to hit you before, you ran away. Now that I'm too lazy to hit you, you're telling me to hit you. You're just going against me, aren't you?" Shen Jin looked up at Yan Yu and said.
"No, I really didn't mean that," Yan Yu quickly explained to Shen Jin.
Shen Jin withdrew his gaze, said nothing more, and continued walking.
"Shen Jin..." Yan Yu hesitated, calling his name, afraid that Shen Jin would really be angry. "I was wrong, I just... I just..."
Staring at him like that, he suddenly started to stutter.
"I'm not angry." Shen Jin was so annoyed by Yan Yu that he told Yan Yu directly that he wasn't angry.
Otherwise, who knows how long Yan Yu would keep bothering him.
Hearing Shen Jin's words, Yan Yu was relieved and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Shen Jin wasn't angry, otherwise he wouldn't know what to do. He definitely shouldn't joke around with Shen Jin like that again next time.
As the group walked inside, they saw some dilapidated buildings, indicating that this place had once belonged to a wealthy family.
"This corridor looks quite nice," one of the tomb raiders remarked as they passed through it.
Shen Jin, who was following behind, nodded: "I think so too."
As he spoke, Shen Jin took a picture with his camera.
At this moment, Shen Jin saw a flower growing in a crevice and was stunned for a moment.
The next moment, Shen Jin patted the flower without hesitation.
"Watch out!" Yan Yu's voice suddenly rang in Shen Jin's ears.
Shen Jin subconsciously looked up and saw Yan Yu rushing towards him, embracing him tightly and holding him protectively in his arms.
Shen Jin felt everything go black before his eyes, as Yan Yu tightly enveloped him. Then he heard the sound of something heavy hitting Yan Yu's back.
"Ugh!" Yan Yu groaned.
Shen Jin was stunned, his back stiffened, and he was momentarily lost in thought.
After a long while, Yan Yu finally released Shen Jin.
Shen Jin's long eyelashes trembled, and he looked up at Yan Yu. Yan Yu's face was a little pale, but he was still smiling at him.
"Alright, it's all over now." Yan Yu said to Shen Jin with some difficulty, gritting his teeth.
Shen Jin pushed Yan Yu away and glanced behind him. A thick piece of wood was lying there; it was this that had hit Yan Yu earlier.
That piece of wood was solid wood, and it looked particularly heavy.
"I saw something about to fall just now... Luckily you're alright." Yan Yu looked at Shen Jin and explained, finally giving Shen Jin a smile.
Seeing Yan Yu's smile, Shen Jin paused for a moment, pursed his lips, and remained silent.
He was laughing like a fool.
"But that really scared me to death," Yan Yu continued, smiling.
If he had arrived even a moment later, Shen Jin would have been hit, and he really couldn't imagine the consequences.
"Get up." Yan Yu smiled and reached out to take Shen Jin's hand to help him up.
However, Yan Yu noticed that Shen Jin didn't make any movement; he just kept staring at the piece of wood.
Yan Yu turned to look at the piece of wood, then chuckled and reached out to lift Chen Jin up: "I'm fine."
Shen Jin turned to look at Yan Yu, about to say something, when a tomb raider ran over, interrupting their conversation.
"Why are you still here? We've already left," the tomb raider asked, looking at them.
Shen Jin and Yan Yu both turned to look at him.
After a pause, the tomb raider asked again, "What...are you doing?"
Upon hearing the tomb raider's words, Shen Jin immediately snapped out of his daze, released Yan Yu, and lowered his head, seemingly trying to cover up his mistake.
"It's nothing, it's nothing," Shen Jin said to him.
"Oh, then hurry up and come over," the tomb raider said, looking at them.
Then, the tomb raider turned and continued walking, and the two quickly followed without saying anything more.
Yan Yu glanced at Shen Jin every now and then, as if he felt that no scenery was more beautiful than the person who was so close to him.
