Catching fish
"You...let me go." Zheng Cheng reluctantly pushed Hu Hanyu away and walked towards the elevator.
It's only the second floor, but he might not be able to make it up the stairs.
Hu Hanyu held his shoulders, followed him into the elevator, and pulled him into his arms.
"No!" Zheng Cheng still wanted to break free, but his heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and the familiar feeling of suffocation was getting heavier. He even had difficulty pressing the elevator button?
"Brother! I've changed my clothes and will be waiting for you in the living room!" Zheng Sisi shouted from upstairs.
"Okay, wait for me for a moment!" Zheng Cheng tried hard to keep his voice steady, responded as if nothing had happened, and closed the elevator door.
He used up his last bit of strength to stay normal. It was as if the air was sucked out of his body, and it gradually became stiff and uncontrollable.
"Just take me... back to my room." He could only rely on Hu Hanyu's support to move towards the master bedroom.
Hu Hanyu helped him into the master bedroom and locked the door behind him.
"Where are your medicines?" he asked.
"There's no...medicine. Get out!" Zheng Cheng glared at him, panting. "Leave me alone."
"I can't do it." Hu Hanyu held his hand tightly and didn't let go. "How can I leave when you're like this?"
I'm...out of strength.
The suffocating feeling and fear as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest made it impossible for him to breathe. Zheng Cheng no longer had the energy to pretend to be normal. He hunched over in pain, opened his mouth wide and tried to breathe.
Hu Hanyu pressed his head to his shoulder and stroked his stiff back and arms: "It's okay, I'll accompany you. This is not the first time."
Fortunately, this attack was just an emotional outburst.
Recalling the scene of Xiao Ming drowning in front of him just now, the strong guilt and fear were like a huge wave, which brought the fear buried in Zheng Cheng's heart to the surface of the sea. He suppressed his screams, but his throat was still forced to whimper.
"I almost... killed him..." He murmured in pain between breaths.
"Lean on me and breathe slowly." Hu Hanyu whispered in his ear, "You didn't hurt him. It's not your fault."
"I just wanted to bring him out to play and take some pictures, but I almost killed him..." Zheng Cheng rested his forehead against Hanyu's shoulder to prevent him from seeing the expression on his face.
Only the weak will feel regret and unwillingness, and they look down on their current self.
"I know, I know." Hu Hanyu held him steadily, his palm stroking up and down his back. "You did nothing wrong. You are a good boss."
The emotion almost passed, the stiffness in Zheng Cheng's body faded away, and he felt completely exhausted, so he could only lean completely on Hu Hanyu.
"It's okay, you did a great job." The hands behind his back moved to the back of his head and neck, massaging them slowly.
Zheng Cheng didn't know if the back of his neck was burning. The warmth from his face had already warmed the base of Hu Hanyu's neck.
This was even more awkward than the time in the elevator, where he'd been unconscious most of the time and could pretend nothing had happened.
Although his whole body was out of control today, Zheng Cheng was very clear-headed. The touch of Hu Hanyu's skin, the smell of his body, and his body temperature were all clearly transmitted to his mind.
Zheng Cheng has hundreds of meows and whispers he wants to say that his tutor doesn't allow him to.
When other parts of his body slowly regained consciousness, Zheng Cheng realized that his hands had been clasping Hu Hanyu's waist.
"Oh my god." It was the only thing he could say, and he finally uttered it.
"Hmm? It seems like a while has passed." Hu Hanyu slowly loosened his hand and made sure that Zheng Cheng could stand firmly before letting go.
"Turn around and lift up your clothes." Zheng Cheng said in a commanding tone.
Hu Hanyu raised his eyebrows but didn't move.
"Let me see if I have scratched you, God!" Zheng Cheng shouted.
Knowing that he had great strength when he attacked, he dug four spots on Hu Hanyu's back, plus six pits on his waist and back.
"It won't leave a scar, I hope. Then I'll be guilty of a big sin." Zheng Cheng held the Band-Aid and tried to figure out how to put it on for a long time.
"It's okay to have a scar." Hu Hanyu took off his shirt and turned around. "It's quite symmetrical, just like the scars on a monk's head."
She has a figure like a living Bodhisattva.
"Why should I rely on you?" Zheng Cheng was frightened.
"It's wet and it feels a bit cold when it sticks to my body." Hu Hanyu pointed at Zheng Cheng's swimsuit and shook his T-shirt twice.
"Then go change into something new." Zheng Cheng didn't know where to look.
"I didn't bring any other clothes." Hu Hanyu put the T-shirt on his shoulders. "It's okay, I won't wear it for now. I'll blow it dry once we get on the boat. Let's go."
What's that? You have a good figure?
"You only bring one clean piece of clothing with you when you go out?!" Zheng Cheng opened the closet and picked out the largest piece of clothing from the clothes he had already hung and threw it to him. "This is a gift for you, no need to return it."
"Oh? Thank you, Dad." Hu Hanyu took it and put it on directly, and even lowered his head to smell it.
Mm, orange flavor.
When they came downstairs, Zheng Sisi looked at them in surprise.
"Um..." She pointed at the T-shirt on Hu Hanyu, "If I remember correctly, that's the limited edition one you brought back from the United States?"
"Well, I gave it to him. What's the matter?" Zheng Cheng asked back.
"Nothing, just... bumped into something?" Zheng Sisi smiled.
The fishing boat that Manager Wang rented was very nice. As soon as the captain saw them, he gave each of them a seasickness pill. When they arrived at the destination and turned off the engine, the boat was very shaking. Zheng Cheng was fine, but Zheng Sisi vomited within five minutes.
"Are you... here to help us make a nest?" Zheng Cheng looked at her face pale as she vomited while clinging to the railing. "Go lie down in the cabin."
"It's the first time, and many people are like this." The captain smiled indifferently, "If it doesn't work, we'll go back."
"Don't go back. I'm already here. I've vomited everything out. I'll be back to full health in a while... Yue, give me half an hour."
Zheng Sisi, out.
"Are you okay?" Hu Hanyu skillfully helped Zheng Cheng put on the bait and taught him how to cast the rod. Zheng Cheng learned quickly.
"I'm strong, okay? I don't get carsick or seasick, it's just..." Zheng Cheng paused, "I can't control my emotions."
"Yeah." Hu Hanyu put his hand on his shoulder.
This time Zheng Cheng didn't hide.
"Should you take medicine for your illness?" he asked.
"I've been taking it for 8 years, but it hasn't helped." Zheng Cheng replied.
"Then don't take it? My dad has to take blood pressure medicine every day until he dies."
"Is this the same thing? How could you talk about your own father like that? Bah!" Zheng Cheng shouted.
"Okay, okay, bah bah bah."
The boat was shaking violently and Zheng Cheng couldn't stand steadily, so he could only lean half on Hu Hanyu.
Being able to be so close to him was actually a small bit of luck. Zheng Cheng was surprised by the straightforward happiness in his heart.
"You still can't stop taking the medicine, right?" Seeing that he couldn't stand steadily, Hu Hanyu put his hand on his shoulder.
"My doctor told me that this is mainly a knot in my heart, and I can only find it out by myself. If I don't solve it, the physical symptoms will not get better. After taking the medicine, I feel depressed and numb, I can't use my brain, and I can't shoot videos well." Zheng Cheng answered, and he tried to explain that he was not escaping.
"So there is a reason for every attack you have?" Hu Hanyu asked naturally. He was really good at asking questions, making people feel close to him and willing to tell him.
"Well, we can only guess. That elevator incident was similar to the previous ones. Today's situation is probably a matter of life and death, so I'm nervous." Zheng Cheng was also trying to be more natural. "Actually, you should leave me alone. I can hurt people when I'm angry."
"But you have someone with you, so won't you recover faster?" Hu Hanyu said, "Zhou Min said your attacks last about half an hour on average, but the two times I was there, they only lasted about 15 minutes each."
When Zheng Cheng saw the two of them talking by the swimming pool just now, he felt that their relationship had improved unknowingly. It seemed that Zhou Min talked to him a lot about himself.
"I didn't know that before." Zheng Cheng glanced at him quickly. "Actually, except for you, I haven't..."
Hu Hanyu suddenly let go of him, and the weight and heat on his shoulders disappeared.
"I caught a fish!" He pulled the fishing rod.
It turned out that I caught a fish. I thought...what was I thinking? Zheng Cheng bit his lip.
The sea breeze blew through Zheng Cheng's crepe shirt. Just as he was trying to throw away his boring loss into the wind, the hands came around from behind him and held his hands.
"Pull the rod." The fishing rod was handed to Zheng Cheng, and Hu Hanyu's voice instructed him in his ear. The heat surrounded Zheng Cheng.
Zheng Cheng's mind was blank. He just followed Hu Hanyu's instructions, reeling in the line alternately. In the blink of an eye, he loosened his grip and a black grouper jumped out of the water.
"As expected of Master Zheng, the first one is edible." Hu Hanyu untied the fish and put it into the bucket.
"Steamed, right? This can't be eaten as sashimi." Zheng Cheng had no interest in the live fish and just glanced at it through the bucket.
"Yeah, you can also grill it and make soup." Hu Hanyu put the bait on the rod again and handed it to Zheng Cheng. "You cast it. Good luck to the beginner."
Zheng Cheng recalled the method taught by Hu Hanyu and successfully threw the rod into the water.
"I'll accompany you from now on," said Hu Hanyu.
"Ah?" Zheng Cheng didn't react to what he said.
"I'll be with you when you have an attack." Hu Hanyu raised the corner of his mouth. "If you feel embarrassed, you can give me a raise."
Zheng Cheng's heart was beating wildly, and the fleeting throbbing was swallowed up by anger.
For Zheng Cheng, having an outburst in front of others is no less than taking off his clothes in public. The first time in front of Hu Hanyu was an accident, and the second time he did it on purpose.
I hate being pitied, I hate being cared for like a useless person, especially by the person in front of me.
He hopes to show his best side in front of Hu Hanyu.
"No, stay away from me! Hu Hanyu, you're pushing your luck, you know that? Don't think you have something on me. How can I be so easily fooled by you... What do I rely on?!"
The fishing rod in his hand suddenly sank, and Zheng Cheng was pulled out of the boat. Hu Hanyu quickly hugged his waist.
"Another fish, Zheng Cheng, this time it's a big one." Hu Hanyu weighed the rod and gave him a playful smile, "Oh, did you tell me to stay away from you just now?"
"You're threatening me? You think I'll fall for it?! Right! Go away, I'll do it myself!" Zheng Cheng took two steps to the side, trying to control the rod with both hands. The thing in the water was extremely powerful and was struggling to move far away. The fishing rod was bent into a C shape.
"Let go of the line, it's about to break, so reel it in slowly." Hu Hanyu was so cruel that he really let go and took a step back.
Zheng Cheng forced himself to pull, relying on the muscle memory from the first pull, competing with the things in the water in terms of strength. The boat was shaking and his feet were unstable, and he even used the horse stance he learned in martial arts class.
You want to see me laugh? I won't let you have your wish. What a lousy fish!
His strength underwater was a little weak, and Zheng Cheng took advantage of the situation and pulled the rod back hard. Just as he was preparing for a final push, his opponent who was trying to catch the fish suddenly lost strength and he sat down in the boat.
The people next to him were holding their phones and laughing happily.
"What are you doing?" Who are you? Are you filming a video?
"Didn't Xiao Ming ask us to shoot some material? What great material!" Hu Hanyu laughed while holding up his phone.
"You're crazy!" Zheng Cheng struggled to stand up. The fishing rod moved forward a few meters and the float sank into the water again.
Hu Hanyu stepped on the fishing rod with one foot, but his hands were still clapping: "Captain, come and help me."
"Oh, I'll do it, I'll do it," the captain came over and quickly reeled in the rod, and a metal bar shining with gold was thrown into the boat.
"What kind of garbage is this?" Zheng Cheng thought he had caught a saw blade.
"Hairtail!" Hu Hanyu jumped over and picked up the fish. "Zheng Cheng, hold it. I'll take a picture for you."
Fresh hairtail just out of the water looks like 304 stainless steel bars, and can even reflect a person’s reflection.
Zheng Cheng stood firmly with the fishing rod and fish in his hands and made some movements. The cutlassfish twisted twice and its fins slapped his face.
“Oh my…!” I’m almost using up all my swear words in this life today.
"Give it to me, give it to me!" The captain and Hu Hanyu stepped forward together.
The captain took the fish and Hu Hanyu walked towards Zheng Cheng.
"Great job, Master Zheng." He smiled and reached out to Zheng Cheng, "You learned it in one go. You're amazing."
"Tsk." Zheng Cheng wanted to hide backwards, but the boat shook and he staggered, and could only grab Hu Hanyu.
"It rubbed against my face." Hu Hanyu held his shoulders and gently wiped his face with his fingers.
"Wow, it's not broken, is it?" The place where the fish fin had just scratched it was burning.
"No." Hu Hanyu said in a low voice.
