Li Zhi smiled slightly: "Thank you, Young Master Meisheng."
Yu Meisheng seemed encouraged and said, "Miss Li, it is an honor to meet you. This is for you." He then forced a fishbone whistle into Li's hand.
"Isn't this inappropriate?"
There is nothing wrong with it.
Li Zhi couldn't bear to refuse someone's kindness, so he had no choice but to accept it.
Gu Siye glanced at the interaction between the two from time to time. Everyone seemed happy, but he looked preoccupied and looked at the eldest son of the fish clan with some displeasure.
On the other side, his younger sister and Yu Xunhuan, the second young master of the fish clan, were also chatting happily. Moreover, his younger sister was staring at Yu Xunhuan with a look of infatuation, which was really unbearable to watch.
Chen Zhihe and Fu Yanche raised their glasses in celebration with the other members of the fish clan. At that moment, he was filled with regret, thinking that he shouldn't have agreed to stay.
Yu Xingsheng walked up to Gu Siye and said, "Young Master Gu, will you come to my house as guests again next time?"
"Hmm?" Gu Siye didn't understand what the Third Young Master Yu meant.
"What I mean is, I'll pick you up next time you come. My father always warned us not to interact with humans, let alone empathize with them, but I think you are very nice and genuine."
"Maybe what you're seeing is all fake?" At least it feels very unreal right now.
"I don't understand human emotions. I only know that we fish people, if we like a woman, we will try to win her over and treat her well, as long as we have a clear conscience and no regrets."
Yu Xingsheng's words made Gu Siye suddenly realize his mistake and start reflecting on himself. Why was he in a bad mood? Could it be that he had really fallen for Li Zhiyi? Otherwise, why would he feel depressed when he saw other men being nice to her and getting so close to her? He couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it and picked up his wine glass to pour himself a full glass of wine.
"I'll drink this, you can drink as you please." Gu Siyue then downed his drink in one gulp.
Yu Xingsheng raised his wine glass and said, "Alright, I'll toast you too."
Unfortunately, happy times are always short-lived. As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. The more joyful the time spent together, the more reluctant we are to part ways. But people always have to say goodbye.
Yu Feier and her three brothers came to see them off. Yu Meisheng said to Li Zhiyi, "Miss Li, will we have a chance to meet again?"
"It's hard to say. If we're meant to meet, we'll meet again, won't we?"
"Well, I wish you a safe journey." Yu Meisheng felt a little bitter inside, but pretended to be relaxed as he said this.
Yu Xunhuan reluctantly walked to Gu Nianzhi's side, said something to her, and then took off a conch-shaped pendant from his neck and put it on Gu Nianzhi's head. The pendant was inlaid with luminous pearls and gemstones.
Gu Nianzhi naturally recognized the gemstone and the luminous pearl, and asked in surprise, "Brother Xunhuan, what are you going to do with such precious things?"
Yu Xunhuan smiled and said casually, "It's just a little gadget, take it and play with it."
"Oh dear, Miss Gu, you don't know this, but it's my brother Xun's treasure. After you take this..."
"Fei'er, come here."
Yu Feier was interrupted by her second brother and walked to his side, asking in confusion, "What's wrong, second brother?"
Gu Nianzhi didn't understand what this thing was for; she was just curious whether it was some kind of treasure. She stepped forward and asked, "Miss Fei'er, what were you trying to say just now?"
"Yes, this is a treasure. If you wear it, when you encounter ferocious sharks, crocodiles, piranhas, or any other fierce aquatic animals in the sea, they will all give way. Moreover, this thing can communicate using sound waves. Normally, my second brother wouldn't give it to me even if I wanted it, but I didn't expect him to give it to you on his own initiative. Hehehe."
Gu Nianzhi reached out and stroked the pendant, as if it still held the warmth of Yu Xunhuan. She looked up at Yu Xunhuan, and time seemed to freeze at that moment.
She suddenly didn't know what to say, and finally lowered her head and softly said, "Thank you, Brother Xunhuan."
Then she quickly turned and left, but in that instant, everything in front of her became blurry, while the reluctance in her heart became clearer and clearer. She tried to hold back her tears, her heart filled with a desolate melancholy!
This parting may be the last time we see each other in this lifetime...
Yu Xunhuan's gaze lingered on Gu Nianzhi's back, his eyes filled with a net of reluctance and helplessness that held him firmly in place. His eyes revealed a deep longing, as if he wanted to etch this moment into his heart forever!
The boat went further and further away until it disappeared from sight.
Yu Feier walked to her second brother's side, patted his shoulder, and said helplessly, "Brother, why didn't you let me say it just now?"
"Silly girl, you'll understand later. Come on, let's go home."
On the ship, Gu Nianzhi buried her head in her knees and sat alone in a corner for a long time. Everyone could tell that she was in a bad mood, so they didn't bother her.
Chen Zhihe, now somewhat sobered up by the sea breeze, asked, "Miss Li, where are we going later? I'd like to have my driver arrange the itinerary."
"Hmm, do you recognize the people in this photo? Next, we need to find this woman's husband and son." Li Zhi took out a woman's necklace from his pocket, opened it to reveal a photo of a family of three, and handed it to Chen Zhihe.
Chen Zhihe took the pendant, looked at the photo of a family of three on it, shook his head and said, "I don't know them. Let's go to the city center first."
Li Zhi nodded and closed her eyes to rest, unaware that the moment she closed her eyes, Gu Siye had been staring at her intently.
Chen Zhihe and Fu Yanche exchanged a knowing smile, secretly chuckling to themselves. They wondered if it was the attentions of that young master Yu that had made the aloof and cold CEO feel threatened, or what. It seemed that the CEO was about to have an epiphany.
As soon as Li Zhiyi closed her eyes, she really fell asleep. Gu Siye took the initiative to sit next to her, so that her head could rest on his shoulder.
Gu Nianzhi slowly calmed herself down, looked up, and saw her sister-in-law sleeping soundly on her brother's shoulder. Fu Yanhe and Chen Zhihe were also asleep. She sighed deeply, touched the conch shell around her neck, and slowly fell asleep.
The sea breeze was howling, but nothing unexpected happened. Several hours later, before dawn, the ship had successfully docked at the shore.
