...
After a long while, when they tried to find Gu Xinghe by holding up a pile of seashells with a water balloon, they found that they could not find him at all.
The red jade spider then realized that it seemed to have been forgotten again.
The red spider, somewhat angry but not at all, stopped supporting the shell encased in the water sphere.
After "slap" they were all placed on the beach.
The red spider began putting the seashells it had collected into its mouth and munching on them with a "crunch, crunch" sound.
And she only had one last seashell left, which she intended to give to Gu Xinghe.
Fortunately, the Crimson Jade Spider never holds a grudge against Gu Xinghe for too long.
When it heard the clear sound of a seashell wind chime ringing in the distance.
The red spider immediately picked up the only remaining shell and crawled toward the source of the sound.
Upon seeing this, Gu Xinghe burst into laughter.
He felt that the Crimson Jade Spider now looked somewhat like a maid or butler who would appear if you shook a bell.
At this moment, for Red Spider, although Gu Xinghe seemed to have forgotten about it again.
But now, when it sees that Gu Xinghe even brought it back a cup of red strawberry-flavored shaved ice, it realizes...
Red Spider had completely forgotten that Gu Xinghe had forgotten her yet again.
Red...I like it...
She conveyed her feelings of liking to Gu Xinghe in her mind.
Red Spider then devoured all the shaved ice that Gu Xinghe had brought back.
Then, it lay motionless beside Gu Xinghe again.
So, it was as if they had been infected by the red spider.
Gu Xinghe and Alice then lay down on two beach chairs, enjoying a rare moment of rest.
Listening to the sound of the waves and the occasional tinkling of the wind chimes Alice made while swaying, Gu Xinghe felt a sense of tranquility.
But just then, he heard the noise and running of children coming from not far away.
Gu Xinghe opened his eyes and saw three children running towards Alice.
Perhaps it was because the beach that Gu Xinghe and Alice chose was usually sparsely visited by tourists or new faces.
So these three children, who seemed to live in the neighborhood, were clearly curious about Alice.
"Hello, sister! Are you here for tourism?"
"Yes, that's right."
After receiving Alice's affirmative response, the three children's enthusiasm for her clearly grew even stronger.
"Sister, do you want to play with us?"
Why don't you join us for some fun!
"Let's build sandcastles together on the beach! It'll be so much fun!"
At that moment, Alice felt a sense of joy from these children and their affection for her.
This is a pure emotion, untainted by any lust or other ulterior motives, simply the feeling of a child finding a new playmate.
For Alice, experiencing kindness and warmth from others was a rare experience in her life.
Because when she was a child on the island of worship, her ability to read minds was accidentally revealed to others.
All Alice sensed was the islanders' dislike and disgust for her, and their desire to expel her.
Not long ago, she returned to the sacrificial island after many years.
The islanders, having consumed mermaid flesh, transformed into deep-diving sea monsters or half-fish people.
And without any resistance, they showed respect to her because she had inherited the legacy of Atlantis.
Alice, however, did not experience any of the so-called "revenge achieved" emotions.
Because she remembered what Gu Xinghe had said to her, or what he had taught her—
She doesn't need to let people she dislike affect her mood.
But beyond that.
When faced with excessive enthusiasm from others, Alice is not quite sure how she should respond.
So, when faced with a problem like this that she has absolutely no idea how to solve, she...
Alice looked at Gu Xinghe almost helplessly, trying to seek her help.
Only when they noticed Alice's gaze did the children see Gu Xinghe behind her.
"Ah! There's another older brother here!"
"Brother, are you and sister a couple?"
"You two are both so good-looking! You're such a perfect match!"
"Are you here on vacation together?"
Gu Xinghe is now the one directly facing the children's "curiosity offensive".
But Alice is already quite adept at dealing with and coping with people who bring her negative emotions.
She seemed somewhat at a loss when she overheard others praising her and Gu Xinghe from the sidelines.
Alice's eyes were already filled with a layer of glistening mist, and she looked so shy that she seemed about to cry.
Gu Xinghe smiled and pulled Alice into his arms, blocking the three children's curious questions.
"Would you like to see my pet? It's really interesting!"
Then, he placed the red jade spider, which had been lying quietly beside him, in his palm to attract their attention.
The attention of the younger children was quickly diverted by the presence of the Red Jade Spider.
For them, they probably had never seen a spider like a red spider as a pet before.
"It's so beautiful! It sparkles! Brother, is that a spider?"
