Chapter 026 Where is this fish going to take him?
"hiss."
"Oh my god, I'm not dreaming... It's a human, a living human?"
He Xile had never expected that after removing his mask, the first thing he'd see was this kind of comment. He chuckled, his eyes curved into crescents, and nodded in agreement, "Yes, I'm alive."
"Damn, I was kind of pissed off at first. I wanted to tell that person off, but then I realized if it weren't for the haters provoking me, the host might not have taken off his mask. I was stuck."
"It's Lanlan—"
"Live Blue—"
"Don't say anything, I'm just following like crazy! From now on, Lanlan's live broadcast room will be my permanent location!"
"That person from before, now you understand why the streamer is participating in the Wave Festival for the first time, right? Next time you're surfing the internet, please don't rashly say anything hurtful when you don't know the truth, okay?"
"I guess he's regretting it now. He hasn't shown up since."
"There are a lot of activities at the Wave Festival, and they're different every year. We don't know what this year's activities will be. We'll have to wait until the Wave Festival starts and the beach map is released, and then go there to check for instructions."
"If you're not afraid of water, it'll be fun!"
He Xile was immediately very excited.
Who doesn't like playing in the water!
During the chat, it was visible to the naked eye that the number of viewers in the upper right corner started to soar from three digits, first rising to barely four digits, and then like riding a rocket, the numbers almost never stopped.
It was the first time that He Xile had seen such a scene.
Plus the people coming and going around...
He Xile whispered: "Or I should put on the mask..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people watching the live broadcast burst into wailing.
“No—”
"Wow, Lanlan, you don't know. I haven't seen you in a long time since you moved from the museum to the palace. Now that I finally get to see you, please let me see you more."
"That's right, take off the mask. By the way, how have you been in the palace lately?"
"Lanlanlan, did His Majesty take advantage of this opportunity to bully you?"
He Xile said, "Wait a moment."
He put on the mask, turned off the live broadcast, and quickly moved away from the snack street. When he left, He Xile could still see someone looking straight ahead and hurried to where he was before. It was obvious that they had watched the live broadcast and were going to find him directly on Starnet.
He Xile came to a coffee shop with nice decoration, turned on the privacy mode, and then started the live broadcast again.
After taking off the mask and seeing that more people were online, He Xile began to answer questions seriously.
"Your Majesty did not bully me."
He Xile said seriously, "He treats me very well. Look." Standing up, He Xile directed the camera to circle around him, "Does this dress look good?"
"Looks great!"
"Lan Lan looks good in anything!"
He Xile smiled brightly: "Your Majesty asked a fashion designer to make it for me."
"That's really good."
"Why do I feel like the Majesty the anchor is talking about is completely different from the Majesty I remember... Lanlan, if you're kidnapped, just blink and we'll come rescue you!"
"Wuwuwu, as long as I'm not bullied!"
"His Majesty has a bad temper. When you interact with him, please be more accommodating."
He Xile nodded immediately: "Yeah. I know, just stroke it along the fur."
He understands everything!
No big problem!
palace.
His Majesty supported his chin with one hand, leaning sideways on the high throne.
Below, several nobles were arguing with the ministers. Both sides were exposing each other's shortcomings and wished they could put each other in jail. However, Wen Jiyou, who was sitting in the upper seat, remained calm and yawned secretly.
His expression was calm, his eyes looking straight ahead.
Suddenly, Wen Jiyu made a "tsk" sound.
In the entire spacious hall, the voice of His Majesty was particularly loud. The nobles and ministers who were arguing instantly shut up and all lay quietly on the ground, waiting for Wen Jiyou's instructions.
However, the person in charge did not react at all.
What's going on?
Wasn’t the sound His Majesty made just now due to dissatisfaction with their argument?
Everyone looked confused.
Just as the nobles were about to try to inquire about Wen Jiyu's intentions, they heard a rustling sound, and then His Majesty asked, "Is the quarrel over? Is there anything else?"
He said indifferently, "Then disperse. I'm very busy and don't have time to stay here."
Without giving anyone time to react, Wen Jiyu stood up and walked out, his steps so fast that it seemed as if he was afraid that the ministers and others would catch up with him.
For a moment, everyone in the palace looked at each other in confusion.
"...Alas, with such a Majesty, how can Hai Xinna go on better?"
"Hmph, if you ask me, he's not worthy of being the king of Hai Xinna."
"Stop talking and go back first."
Everyone was filled with indignation.
The guard followed Wen Jiyu with his head lowered.
After they left the palace, he whispered, "Your Majesty, you shouldn't have left early."
Wen Jiyu scoffed and said calmly, "Maintaining peace and prosperity is enough. There's no war to fight now, and it's boring to listen to them chattering about useless information all day long."
The guard paused, looking helpless.
"By the way, how are the preparations for the Wave Festival going?"
"It's almost done."
"Hmm." The young emperor's tone improved. He thought of something and said, "If you have nothing else to do for the week after the Wave Festival begins, don't let those old guys come. I'm busy."
Guard: "Yes."
&
As everyone expected, the Wave Festival finally arrived.
That morning, He Xile got up early, washed up, and went to the restaurant for breakfast. He couldn't wait to return to his room. As he opened the terminal, He Xile turned around and asked, "Want to play with us?"
"Your Excellency," the guard said gently, "I need to stand guard."
This is the guard's job.
He Xile pursed his lips. He could understand, but he couldn't hide his disappointment and said, "Okay."
Since arriving at the palace, these two guards have been taking care of He Xile. He Xile doesn't say it, but in fact he has already regarded the two guards as very good brothers.
He really wanted to spend this kind of festival with the other person.
But it doesn’t matter, there will be other opportunities in the future.
He Xile logged into StarNet and started live streaming.
As soon as he landed, he couldn't help but exclaim "Wow".
The Star Network has undergone almost a complete transformation.
You can see the signs of waves everywhere.
He Xile's feet were on soft, golden sand, warmed by the sun but not scorching hot, making it very comfortable to walk on. Before him lay the boundless sea. In the distance, the sea and the sky met, forming a thin, not very distinct line. Nearby, snow-white waves rolled up and crashed onto the beach.
Even the wind carries the salty smell of the ocean.
Behind me, there was a lot of noise and the snack stalls were hawking their wares.
People passing by were all beaming with joy. Even if they didn't know him, they would pat He Xile on the shoulder and greet him with a smile, saying, "Happy Wave Festival, little friend."
He Xile subconsciously replied: "Happy Wave Festival."
"have fun!"
Everything looks festive.
Even if he just stood there and did nothing, He Xile felt happy.
"Lanlan, stop daydreaming! Go to the snack area and buy some Chibi Meatballs from the first stall on the left. Hurry! I've tried them, and they're delicious! The portions aren't too big, so they won't affect the fun later. There's already a line!"
He Xile: "Here I come."
He Xile had a serious look on his face and walked quickly towards his destination. Sure enough, there was already a queue at this store.
"It's Lanlan!"
"Wow, it's really here——"
"Looking at it up close, it looks even smaller than it usually is on live broadcasts... So cute, can you give me a hug, sis?"
He Xile's earlobes, as white as pearls, immediately turned crimson.
He quickly shook his head and said, "I'm sorry."
"Oh my god, you don't have to say sorry at all!"
How can humans be so obedient!
It makes people feel good just by looking at it!
Time passed quickly while we were chatting.
I don't know what ingredients the dumplings in this shop are made of, but they taste very good, with a slightly sweet aftertaste. After trying them, He Xile ordered a few more.
I said goodbye to the people queuing behind me, ate meatballs, and went to the beach to step on the sand.
There weren't many people on the beach.
The waves are cool and hit my ankles, bringing a slight itch.
He Xile walked slowly and couldn't help but sigh: "How comfortable."
"Yes."
"I've never walked on the beach before. Every time an event started, I would rush there. I used to think the beach was useless. But after following the anchor today, I felt the necessity of the beach."
“Damn it, am I the only one working overtime? I want to play in the sand too, woooo ...
After walking along the long beach, there is an entrance.
The entrance is filled with attractions for the Wave Festival.
He Xile was completely confused by these projects, but he planned to try them all, so he took a shortcut and randomly chose one, just like drawing a blind box.
"Wuhu—"
"It's a relatively mild project, Blue Blue, go for it!"
He Xile felt relieved after seeing the barrage.
"The game has just started, so we should be gentle."
However, when he got to the project, He Xile was dumbfounded.
The staff member led He Xile to a cute-looking fish. He clearly recognized He Xile and said gently, "Don't be afraid, Lanlan. Just straddle it. Everything is strictly controlled by code, so we won't throw you off."
He Xile bravely tried to cross over, but his short legs prevented him from doing so, and he was stuck in the middle. The fish, having probably never encountered a situation like He Xile's, thought it was secure and was about to move forward.
He Xile immediately jumped up and down: "Ahhh."
The staff member immediately raised his hand and picked up He Xile.
After placing the latter in a safe place aside, the staff member put his fist to his lips to hide his smile: "...Ahem, you are a little small."
Looking at the comments again, it’s all hahaha.
He Xile immediately felt depressed.
He whispered, "I'm on the blue planet, so it's not that small."
"But in Haixinna, it's really not good enough."
hateful.
No matter how you think about it, it’s all Hai Xinna’s fault!
"I'll go pick out a smaller one."
The staff left for a while and appeared with a smaller fish. The fish was very cute and colorful. He Xile couldn't help but be dazzled. As soon as he walked over, the fish slightly shook its tail.
"He seems very happy." said the staff.
He Xile smiled embarrassedly.
"Wait, go slower." He said, and touched the fish's body as if to comfort it.
The fish scales are not scratchy and are even a bit slippery.
"Because you will be in the sea for a long time, your camera cannot be turned on." The staff reminded.
He Xile: "Oh oh oh."
He turned off the camera.
"Set off!"
Yuyu led He Xile out from the beginning of the tunnel, swimming quickly. He Xile held onto something like reins to prevent himself from falling. Once out of the tunnel that blocked out the sun, they were greeted by the deep blue sea.
The man and the fish fell rapidly, and He Xile was so scared that he bent down and held the fish tightly.
With a "splash", both the man and the fish plunged into the sea.
He Xile held his breath.
His eyes widened.
Everything under the sea was very new to He Xile.
He had never seen the seabed from this angle before. Perhaps because he was on the Starnet and didn't have to worry about pressure or other issues, He Xile could open his eyes and breathe naturally underwater.
The seabed is colorful and magnificent.
Bright, beautiful corals clustered together, forming small, raised hills. Small fish, their scales gleaming silver, swarmed through the corals, emerging a bit smaller. Apparently, a few of them had been killed. Light-colored jellyfish leisurely passed by He Xile.
He Xile looked around, his mouth wide open in shock at the scene before him, but he didn't have to worry about being filled with water.
Ahhhh.
Isn’t the Wave Festival awesome?!
Yuyu took He Xile on a leisurely swim throughout the ocean. He Xile felt that he could stay there for a whole day without getting bored! After seeing countless beautiful coral reefs, the color of the sea gradually darkened and the visibility became increasingly low.
He Xile finally felt a little nervous.
Where is this fish going to take him?
He can't swim.
Although he could breathe now, He Xile felt that if he let go of Yu Yu, he would most likely fall sharply.
However, since this was a Wave Festival project, there shouldn't be any problems, right? And this was the Star Network, so if something did go wrong, he could just log off and escape.
Just as he was daydreaming, He Xile's gaze paused.
The visibility around was getting lower and lower, and a slightly darker object with a white ring flashed past He Xile.
Um?
What?
He Xile was bewildered and couldn't help but lean forward, trying to get a better look. However, he soon realized something. That thing looked similar to the thing that appeared outside his window the last time the guards stopped him from leaving the house...
