"!!!" Shi Jing's eyes widened in horror. "You don't believe me?!"
[Hahahaha! Young Master Shi's heart is broken!]
[Shi Jing, looking serious: Aba aba aba... Did you understand? Jin Zhao: ...I don't understand and I'm skeptical.]
[Shi Jing: The fish cried, and the water knew... But I cried, and who knows! Zhu Jinzhao, I hate you for being such a blockhead!]
Master Yu was not far from the rocky beach, and he had heard almost everything Shi Jing had said.
He straightened up, turned to look at Zhu Jinzhao, and said with a smile, "It's true, he's absolutely right."
Zhu Jinchao: "Oh."
Then, turning back to Shi Jing, she gave him a thumbs up: "You even know this? Looks like you really have a lot of experience in beachcombing."
"..." Shi Jing's face fell, and he didn't respond to Zhu Jinzhao's words.
Zhu Jinzhao waited patiently for a while, and seeing him pouting and looking unhappy, she finally realized that she seemed to have hurt his feelings.
"What's wrong with you?" She tilted her head slightly, opening her big, round eyes to look at Shi Jing's face.
Shi Jing glanced at her resentfully, but remained silent.
She thought for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Have I offended you?"
“…No.” Shi Jing broke down in an instant, amused by Zhu Jinzhao’s dazed expression.
Zhu Jinzhao: "Then why don't you talk to me?"
"I..." Shi Jing hadn't quite organized her thoughts and was momentarily speechless.
Zhu Jinzhao narrowed her eyes, her gaze defiant: "You just think I've offended you."
Hahaha! This silly goose is so cute today, it even woke me up from my nap!
[Today: You say I offended you? (Loads a bullet) Goodbye then! (Fires decisively)]
[Wishing you a day filled with natural cuteness, even offending people is adorable! It would be a shame not to sit on you and crush you!]
[Hehe, Chaochao is so sweet! Seeing her reminds me of the days before I became a wicked woman.]
[While it's true that Chaochao was wrong, even if we take a step back, doesn't Shijing bear any responsibility? Chaochao is so adorable, can Shijing really bear to never speak to her again?]
"Sigh..." Shi Jing sighed, ultimately unwilling to let Zhu Jinzhao overthink things alone.
“You haven’t offended me.” He softened his tone and patiently explained to Zhu Jinzhao, “I’m not talking to you because I’m angry that you don’t trust me, that’s all.”
"Huh?" Upon hearing the word "angry," Zhu Jinzhao panicked immediately. "You're angry with me?"
Shi Jing: "I'm only a little angry, you can coax me a bit and it will be fine."
Zhu Jinzhao looked at him seriously: "How do you want me to coax you?"
“Hmm…” Shi Jing rolled his eyes. “I haven’t decided yet, but there’s no rush. We can think about it while we look for seafood.”
"Okay." Zhu Jinzhao nodded, then picked up the clips and continued working.
The sun had already risen above the horizon, and a ray of golden light pierced the sky, dispelling the last vestiges of gloom between heaven and earth.
Zhu Jinzhao's vision suddenly brightened, and he could see the sand hidden under the water's surface clearly.
"Chao Chao, look at the sunrise!" Shi Jing suddenly stood up and pulled Zhu Jinchao up with him.
Zhu Jinchao turned around subconsciously, but was caught off guard by the dazzling golden sunlight.
She reflexively closed her eyes and dodged for a few seconds, and only slowly opened her eyelids after her eyes had adjusted a little.
A red sun broke through the clouds, slowly rising above the sea. The waves carried it, inch by inch, to the horizon. It hung steadily in the sky, freely showering its light upon the world.
Golden rays of light burst forth from the clouds, sliced into countless sharp swords by the cloud layer. But these swords did not harm anyone; they only brightened and warmed the dim world.
"Wow..." Zhu Jinzhao exclaimed in surprise, then tilted her head back slightly to let the sunlight shine on her face.
The sun had just risen, and the sunlight wasn't scorching yet. Zhu Jinzhao's face felt warm and comfortable from the sun, and she wanted to lie down and fall asleep immediately.
Shi Jing closed his eyes, fully enjoying the warmth of the sunlight, his face full of contentment: "The moment I saw the sunrise, my morning grumpiness suddenly disappeared."
"Hmm?" Zhu Jinzhao turned her head to look at him. "It's been so long and you're still grumpy when you wake up?"
Shi Jing: "My morning grumpiness won't go away until I've had enough sleep."
Zhu Jinchao frowned, looking somewhat puzzled: "But you didn't get angry at all, you don't seem like someone who's grumpy when they wake up."
Upon hearing this, Shi Jing slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with golden sunlight, which softened his gaze and briefly shed his cool and arrogant demeanor.
“I’ve always been grumpy when I wake up, I just haven’t let it out.” He said, turning to look at Zhu Jinzhao, his eyes filled with a gentle smile. “You’re so cute, how could I bear to take my morning grumpiness out on you?”
“…Oh.” Zhu Jinzhao blinked blankly. Although she sensed the ambiguity in Shi Jing’s words, she did not show any shyness or excitement.
Her expression was indifferent, her tone was indifferent, and she even had the mind to care about Shi Jing's hair.
"Hey? Why do you have so many gray hairs on the back of your head?"
Shi Jing: "..."
[Hahahaha! Someone please save Shi Jing! He's really about to shatter!]
[Shi Jing's eyes sparkled: You're so cute, I can't bear to get angry with you. Jin Zhao stared blankly: ...Wow, you actually have two legs!]
[Time Mirror: Give me peanuts! Quickly give me peanuts!]
These two are so interesting! One is always flirting and teasing the other, and the other is constantly chattering away. Even though the mirror looks like it's about to shatter, they're still so sweet! And it's pure sweetness!
[Her brain must be made of a winter melon; while everyone else is kneeling down to offer their ring, she's still just waving and waving at the supermarket entrance.]
"Shi Jing, why do you suddenly have so many white hairs on the back of your head?"
Zhu Jinzhao was genuinely startled to see a small patch of white hair on the back of Shi Jing's head. When he thought back to how Shi Jing's hair had been jet black and shiny just yesterday, Zhu Jinzhao felt even more terrified.
"White hair?" Upon hearing Zhu Jinzhao say this, Shi Jing didn't initially take it to heart.
"It's normal to have gray hair, everyone gets gray hair," he said nonchalantly.
But Zhu Jinzhao looked panicked: "I know everyone has gray hair, but you have way too much. It's only been one night, and the hair on the back of your head has turned so much white."
As he spoke, Zhu Jinzhao gestured with his thumb to indicate the area of white hair.
"My goodness, you have so many gray hairs that I can't cover them with my thumb."
"...What?" Shi Jing exclaimed in surprise.
