Chapter 57 Chapter 57 What’s wrong with you?
"You can get on board now!"
The instructor came over and said apologetically to the people in the waiting area, "A guest was late and then canceled their reservation, so we've delayed everyone for so long. We'll make up for that time later. Does anyone need seasickness medicine?"
Song Youning jumped up from his seat, rubbing his hands, eager to get on board and show off his skills: "No need! Let's go."
Ji Siyun lowered his head and followed her silently. When the rippling water appeared in his sight, his steps paused slightly.
Song Youning had already boarded the boat and was looking for a seat. Looking at her excited back, Ji Siyun closed his eyes, took a deep breath and stepped forward.
The sky was blue, and the wind brought by the boat's movement messed up Song Youning's long hair. The black hair fluttered and hit the face of Ji Siyun who was sitting next to her.
Song Youning's face was also covered in his own hair. He spat out the hair and reached out to Ji Siyun: "Ji Siyun, hand me the hair tie in my bag."
She never had to carry anything when she went out. Ji Siyun was holding her bag in his arms. After hearing her words, he slowly lowered his head and rummaged through the bag.
His smooth jaw was taut, and in the sunlight his skin was like smooth white jade, crystal clear, so white that it seemed bloodless.
Ji Siyun lowered his head, frowned, and rummaged in her bag. Suddenly, a warm hand touched his cheek.
The skin under his hands felt icy cold even in the sun. Song Youning sighed, "Ji Siyun, why are you so white?"
Song Youning was a little envious of his good skin even without using sunscreen.
The warm fingertips touched her lightly and then left. The fragrance on her body made Ji Siyun feel a little calmer. He took out the hair tie from his bag and handed it to her.
Song Youning skillfully tied up her long hair, so that it would not be blown all over her face by the wind. The afternoon sun made her skin slightly hot, and she remembered that she had not applied sunscreen on the back of her neck.
Song Youning turned his back to Ji Siyun and said, "Please help me apply it. I can't see behind me."
Her slender white neck shone in the sun, and a few strands of her casually tied hair hung down behind her head, fluttering in the wind. Ji Siyun lowered her eyes, took out the sunscreen from her bag, and squeezed it into her hands.
When his palm touched the back of Song Youning's neck, she was caught off guard and shuddered.
The soft voice carried a hint of complaint: "Ji Siyun, your hands are so cold!"
Ji Siyun spoke in a low voice and just as he touched her hand he stepped back.
"I'm sorry, I'll apply it to you when my hands are warm."
She shook her head, her loose hair gently sweeping across the back of her neck. "No, it was just too sudden and I wasn't mentally prepared. You apply it."
The cold fingertips came close again. Song Youning turned his head to look at the waves stirred up by the rapidly moving boat, and thought: It's such a bright sun, but he is still cold. Is Ji Siyun a cold-blooded animal?
The transparent and delicate skin was like the finest porcelain, so delicate and smooth that Ji Siyun didn't even dare to use force.
Her skin is delicate and will turn red and leave marks if she is not careful. Except for the last time when he did that on purpose because he didn't want her to wear that swimsuit, even when she was in love and it was most difficult to control herself, Ji Siyun would restrain himself and not make her unhappy.
Song Youning didn't like him leaving marks on her.
The skin under his palm was stained with sunscreen and was a little slippery. She had her back to him and was completely defenseless. Ji Siyun stared at the skin under his palm, and his red tongue tip slid across the bloodless pale lips.
He wanted to bite her and leave a mark on her, so that those who coveted her would know that she was his.
No... she would be angry... but there are too many people coveting her!
"Hasn't it been painted yet?"
Song Youning's voice brought Ji Siyun back to his senses.
The dark and crazy thoughts slowly retreated back into his dark eyes. Ji Siyun reluctantly let go of her neck and whispered, "It's done."
Song Youning turned back and saw Ji Siyun twisting the cap of the sunscreen bottle. She moved closer to him, her shoulder against his cold arm, and asked him sideways, "Do you want to apply it?"
She raised her hand and placed her fingertips in the sunlight. She quickly retracted her hand as if burned by the scorching light. She looked at Ji Siyun with a pale face and said, "The ultraviolet rays at sea are very strong. If you don't apply sunscreen, you will get sunburned."
"If you get sunburned, you'll become ugly."
The action of opening the bag just paused, Ji Siyun looked at the bottle of sunscreen in his hand, then looked at Song Youning, then lowered his eyes, said nothing, and did not put the things back.
It was obvious that he wanted Song Youning to apply the sunscreen on him with this awkward look. Her bright eyes curved, and faint dimples appeared on her cheeks. She reached out to take the sunscreen and touched his head.
"I'll help you apply it." Song Youning unscrewed the lid, "Come closer."
The young man's pale and soft lips formed a curve of joy. He moved closer to Song Youning, resting his hands on her legs, slightly bending his waist and lowering his head, his dark eyes staring into hers.
Song Youning felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, and pretended not to care as she helped him apply the sunscreen evenly, her fair cheeks flushed with a faint pink.
The system seemed to have discovered a new world: "Host! You are blushing!"
Song Youning's expression remained unchanged as he calmly replied: It was the sun.
"Tsk, I don't believe it."
Believe it or not.
The young man looked at her with a faint smile in his black eyes, and his wet and hot breath fell on Song Youning's hand. She quickly spread the last bit evenly and distanced herself from Ji Siyun.
Song Youning threw the small bottle with the cap screwed on into Ji Siyun's arms and turned her head to look to the other side. Ji Siyun put the things away properly. It seemed that all the fragmented thoughts in his head disappeared, leaving only her back pretending to be calm in front of him.
The boat was bobbing on the water, Ji Siyun's head was a mess, the sea breeze brought her fragrance, the dizziness made him uncomfortable, yet comfortable.
It took us an hour to reach our destination. The moment the boat stopped, it shook even more violently.
The captain picked up the fishing rod and began to explain how to use it. Song Youning fiddled with the fishing rod in his hand and nudged the arm of the person next to him with his elbow.
"Don't you want to play?"
She only had eyes for the instructions on how to use the fishing rod, and didn't notice that Ji Siyun's face was pale, the corners of his lips were tightened into a straight line, and his eyes were fixed on the floor without moving to the side.
"Just have fun, Miss." He squeezed his hands tightly, "I'll wait for you."
"Okay."
After the captain finished explaining, Song Youning couldn't wait to stand up. Seeing that Ji Siyun was sitting there with no interest, she didn't force him to accompany her. She said, "If you don't want to fish, sit here and wait for me."
She put on her coat and hat, rubbed her hands together and said, "Wait until I catch you a big fish!"
Her feet gradually left her sight and landed on the floor. The boat was still rising and falling with the waves. Ji Siyun's face was pale and even sitting still was a torment.
Song Youning really likes fishing, an activity full of unknowns and uncertainties. He doesn't know when or what he will catch.
It's like conquering an unknown opponent, which tests your patience and skills. But the moment it takes the bait, you feel an unprecedented sense of accomplishment and desire to conquer.
The red fishing float stood on the water surface. Song Youning stared at the water surface patiently, with peace in his heart.
She always had good luck. After a short while, the fishing rod in her hand trembled slightly, and the fishing line was stretched straight - a fish was hooked!
Song Youning gripped the fishing rod tightly and tightened the fishing line bit by bit. The silvery-white fish scales broke through the water, drawing a beautiful arc in the sunlight.
Her bright almond-shaped eyes widened with excitement, and she subconsciously turned around and called out to the young man sitting in the boat: "Ji Siyun! Come and see the fish I caught..."
Inside the cabin, the young man's face was as pale as paper, with beads of sweat on his forehead. When he heard her call, he reluctantly opened his eyes to look at her, then drooped his eyelids weakly.
"Boom."
The fish that had just been caught returned to the sea, and the fishing rod rolled to the ground, shining metallically in the sunlight.
"Jisyun! What's wrong with you?"
Song Youning held his shoulders and let him lean on her. She touched the sweat on his forehead and found it was cold.
She finally understood why he was acting so strangely today: "Are you seasick?"
Ji Siyun closed his eyes, and even breathing required a lot of willpower. He leaned on her shoulder and spoke in a soft voice.
"One thing, go play, Miss, I just need to rest for a while."
A wave hit the boat, causing it to shake even more violently. The soft body leaning against Song Youming suddenly tensed up.
His stomach was churning and about to burst out. Ji Siyun's face turned pale. He suddenly pushed Song Youning away, rushed to the side of the boat with unsteady steps, lay down there, and vomited into the water.
Song Youning didn't expect that he was so seasick. He took out a tissue from his bag and wanted to hand it to him, but he just took two steps closer.
“Don’t come over here!”
Ji Siyun was lying on the side of the boat with his face turned to the side. His eyes were red and watery on his pale face. He was timid and refused to let Song Youning get close.
In front of him was the bottomless water. Ji Siyun felt limp all over and felt as if he was being dragged down by the dark sea. The feeling of suffocation was like a tight rope, strangling every inch of breathing space.
When he was on the verge of collapse, a soft tissue was gently placed on the corner of his lips. Song Youning squatted beside him, gently stroking his back with one hand, and patiently and gently wiped the stains on his lips with the other hand.
Ji Siyun's eyelids trembled, and he tried to hide to the side, his voice hoarse: "No, it's too dirty..."
She turned his face back without giving him any chance to refuse. There was worry and concern on her delicate little face, but there was no disgust as it should be.
With slender fingers, she pinched the tissue and carefully wiped the dirt from the corner of his lips. Song Youning looked at the mist in Ji Siyun's eyes and covered his eyes in panic.
"Hey! Don't cry!"
Ji Siyun opened his eyes and saw the light coming through her fingers. His heart ached and he whispered, "Miss, I'm not crying."
His long eyelashes blinked under her palm, and her skin felt a little itchy when they touched her skin. Only after confirming that he really wasn't crying did Song Youning dare to let go of her hand.
Ji Siyun's face looked very bad now. The degree of seasickness was definitely not just a little bit as he said lightly. Song Youning stuffed the paper into his hand and said to the captain who followed him: "We don't want to play anymore. Find someone to take us back."
There were other people on the boat, so if they wanted to go back after going out to sea, they could only call a motorboat to pick them up. When the boat arrived, Ji Siyun vomited several times and didn't even have the strength to speak.
Song Youning helped him up. The tall young man collapsed on her, his whole body limp. She frowned and asked, "Are you still okay?"
Ji Siyun nodded weakly.
On the way back, Ji Siyun sat behind Song Youning. She was a little worried about Ji Siyun's condition, so she pulled Ji Siyun's hand and put it on her waist. Her voice was blown into pieces by the strong wind caused by the rapid progress, but Ji Siyun heard every word clearly.
"Jisyun, hold me tight."
Holding her tightly as he obeyed, Ji Siyun didn't dare to open his eyes to look at the water, but the waves stirred up by the motorboat splashed on his face, and the salty and humid smell in the wind reminded him that he was now on the boundless sea, and beneath him was the dark, cold, bottomless deep sea.
My limp body tensed up until it gradually lost strength, and my mind became increasingly unclear.
Song Youning saw the land in the distance. She was about to comfort Ji Siyun that they were almost there when the arms wrapped around her waist gradually loosened and the body pressed against her back also separated from her.
Ji Siyun fell softly into the water.
After a "splash", the sound of someone falling into the water was heard again.
Song Youning jumped down as well.
