As Chu Meng's soles sank into the fine sand, the tide was flooding over her exposed ankles.
The dusk dyed the crescent-shaped beach into honey color, and the waves broke into millions of pieces of gold foil, flowing across her fair skin.
"Watch out for shells, they can hurt your feet."
Lu Shiyan's long tentacles touched Chu Meng's face and tucked the loose hair on her forehead behind her ears.
He had tried his best to be careful, leaving a blood mark on Chu Meng's face.
Chu Meng hissed in pain.
Lu Shiyan quickly retracted his tentacles and moved them a few times with squeaking sounds.
There is an extra layer of protective film on the tentacles.
"Does it hurt?"
Chu Meng shook her head and said it didn't hurt. She didn't dare to look up at her Lu Shiyan.
My heart aches so much that it feels like every cell in my body is clamoring.
"It's a lie."
Lu Shiyan twisted his neck, making a squeaking sound.
Empty eyes, a flash of sadness.
"I didn't lie to you."
Chu Meng quickly lowered her head and tried to control her emotions. She didn't know what to do.
A spiral shell, gleaming with mother-of-pearl, was wedged between her toes.
The moment the tide receded, the waves she crushed splashed onto Lin Huai's trouser legs, and dark water marks spread across the dark blue fabric, like ink plum blossoms blooming on rice paper.
After the tide receded, crabs and lobsters were left on the shore, and Lu Shiyan had a basket that came from somewhere.
Handed it to Chu Meng.
"I want grilled lobster and crab."
Chu Meng said "Oh", she could do that, and left with the basket and a silly smile.
"Come out."
Zhan Yunxiao walked out from the darkness, his eyes always fixed on Chu Meng.
As the last ray of rose gold on the horizon sank to the horizon, the star sand began to glow.
Fine blue-green fluorescence spread along with their footprints, as if the Milky Way was pouring into the intertidal zone.
"Don't worry, I won't monopolize Mengmeng. I will return her to you after tonight."
Zhan Yunxiao didn't say anything, but a complicated light flashed in his eyes.
Zhan Yunxiao knew very well what Lu Shiyan meant to Chu Meng.
To be honest, he couldn't compete with Lu Shiyan. For Chu Meng's sake, Lu Shiyan didn't even care about his own life.
"Is it worth it? Do you regret it?"
Zhan Yunxiao lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.
Cough cough cough!
He choked and his eyes turned red.
"You sent me the message?"
Before coming here, Zhan Yunxiao received a text message.
---Come and pick up your wife.
Lu Shiyan moved, making a squeaking sound and chuckled.
"It's worth it. Everything I do for my Mengmeng is worth it. I love her and can't let her go.
I never thought of leaving him, if only I had thought it through more carefully back then.
My Mengmeng wouldn't be what she is now, and Lu Zhengting wouldn't have chosen him as a stand-in."
Lu Shiyan paused, and his tentacles rustled in the air.
“It’s not that my sister didn’t recognize the stand-in, it’s that she was also sick and forgot a lot about us.
How did our little Mengmeng get through all these years? It must have been very painful."
Zhan Yunxiao seemed to have heard something huge. His heart skipped a beat, his nose felt sore, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"What disease is it? I don't know."
Lu Shiyan sighed softly. "I sent it to your phone. It's quite long. Take your time to read it when you get home."
"Even if you become like this, I can't snatch you away. As long as Mengmeng is happy, I can quit."
Lu Shiyan let out a cry and his tentacles touched Zhan Yunxiao.
"You're still the same as before, quite a coward,"
Zhan Yunxiao admitted that he had always been timid in front of Chu Meng.
I dare not express my love openly.
"Look at me now. Maybe you and Mengmeng are the only ones who aren't afraid. To be honest, I'm afraid when I look in the mirror."
Lu Shiyan paused.
"I'm a monster, cold-blooded and heartless. They were able to turn me into this and invest so much. Do you think those people will let me go?"
Zhan Yunxiao understood what Lu Shiyan meant.
If he didn't love Chu Meng so much, his desire to protect Chu Meng would be so strong and firm.
It's impossible to sit together and have such a calm conversation.
In terms of Lu Shiyan's lethality, no one can match him.
"I always knew that the person you were hiding in your heart was my daughter Meng Meng. You don't know how scared I was of you at that time.
You are too good, and I am afraid you will snatch my daughter away from me."
Zhan Yunxiao snorted lightly.
"What's the point of being excellent? You little fox don't even glance at me. There's only room for you in my eyes and heart."
"Well, I admit that my Mengmeng is very good..."
Lu Shiyan didn't say anything else, as he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control his emotions.
Can't bear to let go.
"Zhan Yunxiao, I leave my Mengmeng to you... take good care of her."
Zhan Yunxiao felt a lump in his throat and didn't know what to say.
This is probably what it feels like to be in love with someone deep in your bones.
He understood Lu Shiyan's inability to let go.
"You are willing to do it, but if it were me, I wouldn't be willing to do it. I would cling to the little fox for the rest of my life.
I can't stand the torment of missing someone. I have never wanted someone so much.
Having her is the rest of my life, and I won’t settle for not having her.”
Lu Shiyan did not lie. He was also a selfish person. He would not give up as long as there was a little hope.
His daughter Mengmeng is so good that no one is willing to let her go.
But now, he can't even give a good hug.
Even the slightest touch could hurt him, not to mention that those people would never give up.
I will definitely find a way to completely control him, and then he will definitely hurt Mengmeng.
"Hey! Give me some time. Go pick up Mengmeng at the top of the mountain tomorrow morning."
