Chapter 64: Eternal Day (Part 28) New Home
The cruise ship stayed at the port for only half a day before it blew its whistle and slowly sailed away from the bustling dock, immersing itself in the boundless blue sea once again.
Wen Yin lay lazily in Cangli's arms, watching Cangyu, who had returned to the suite, leaning against the white fence of the terrace, gazing into the distance at the long trail left by the cruise ship breaking through the blue sea.
The room was very quiet, with only the sound of Wen Yin's tail fin gently slapping the cool water surface.
After the "guests" left the ship, most of the staff on board were gone. Now, only a handful of core staff remained on the cruise ship to maintain basic operations.
There was an unconcealable surprise in 028's voice.
[They seem...really ready to abandon everything and take you, the host, to the deep sea.]
Wen Yin felt Cangli's fingers massaging her lower back with moderate pressure, and the strength was just right to relieve the slight soreness left after the fever period.
She squinted her eyes comfortably, and her gorgeous tail fin immersed in the water subconsciously curled up slightly. The soft and powerful fin yarn wrapped around Cangli's human ankle immersed in the water, with a kind of unconscious intimacy and dependence.
[If that's the case, that's fine.]
She answered 028 in a lazy voice.
[Only by staying away from all things that bring hatred and pain... can we truly begin a new life.]
As soon as she finished chatting with 028, she felt the hands massaging her lower back, and the moment her tail wrapped around his ankle, the hands suddenly increased their strength.
That press almost had a sense of punishment, and her tailbone was numb. She couldn't help but cry out softly: "Hmm..."
"What's wrong?" Cangli's voice came from above, asking knowingly, "Did it hurt you?"
Wen Yin didn't even turn around, but just rubbed her cheek on his slightly damp collar, still speaking lazily, being coquettish without realizing it.
"Be gentle."
She commanded, as if the brief discomfort just now was just a minor episode, "Just like that... it was very comfortable."
The people around him fell silent.
After several seconds, the hand that had been resting on her lower back started moving again, returning to the previous massage with just the right amount of strength, neither too light nor too heavy.
The warmth from the fingertips seeped in little by little through the thin scales and skin.
His voice came after a while, two simple words without any emotion:
"knew."
His ankles were still wrapped by her soft tail fin and did not move at all.
Under the water, the skin that was rubbed by the cool and silky fin yarn seemed to tighten slightly.
Cangyu, who was originally looking at the sea by the fence, had subconsciously turned around when he heard Wen Yin's slight exclamation.
His eyes first fell on Wen Yin, who was using Cangli's thigh as a pillow.
The silver fish's tail was swaying unconsciously, and the transparent veil on its tail fin was quietly swaying in the clear water.
Like a blurred galaxy.
His gaze slowly moved upwards, sweeping over Cangli's human legs immersed in the water, and his brother's face, which seemed calm but actually had a slightly darker expression in his eyes.
Cangyu said nothing, just raised his eyebrows slightly, then turned around as if nothing had happened, as if it was just a casual glance.
He walked over to the white rattan sofa on one side of the terrace, sat down elegantly, picked up a newspaper delivered today on the small table next to him, and unfolded it leisurely.
The sunlight filtered through the terrace roof, casting a mosaic of light and dark on his deep outline.
He seemed to be completely immersed in the newspaper in his hand, with his usual calmness and indifference between his brows.
However, the slender fingers holding the edge of the newspaper had not turned a page for a long time.
Every once in a while, his eyes would quietly lift from the upper edge of the newspaper and look accurately towards the direction of the pool.
His gaze briefly swept across the intimately overlapping figures in the water, especially Wen Yin's slender waist covered by Cangli's palm, and then retracted as unnoticeably as a feather.
It seemed like just an ordinary moment of relaxation while taking a break from reading.
Wen Yin had already noticed Cangyu's glances from time to time.
But she was too lazy to move and just let the two people, one near and one far away, look at her.
With her eyes closed, she fell asleep unknowingly, feeling the sea breeze and the gentle massage on her back.
After a long time, Cangli stopped moving his hands and gently brushed away a strand of black hair that was stuck to her cheek.
A shadow appeared in front of him. It was Cangyu who walked over and stopped by the shallow pool.
"Brother, are we really going to take her back to the deep sea?"
It was Cangli's cold voice.
"Hmm," Cangyu hummed softly, lowering his eyes to stare at Wen Yin's defenseless sleeping face.
"She is now the treasure we should protect most."
-
The cruise ship sailed on the sea, gradually heading into the deeper blue.
The sky is high and the clouds are sparse. All around is the endless sea and the never-ending sea breeze.
The number of staff on board is dwindling.
According to 028's monitoring, the remaining waiters who maintained their basic human form began to walk towards the side of the ship in twos and threes, and slid silently into the sea.
The moment they entered the water, their human forms vanished like smoke, transforming into blurry and distorted shadows that quickly sank into the bottomless sea, leaving no trace.
After sailing for another two days, the vague outline of a small island appeared at the end of the sea horizon, but the cruise ship did not approach.
A white boat that had been waiting here came over.
Cangyu held Wen Yin and got on the bus with Cangli.
And the cruise ship that carried countless secrets and reincarnations, after they boarded the boat, turned around and headed towards another foggy sea, and soon disappeared between the sea and the sky, like a phantom that had never existed.
The boat wasn't big, but it was fully equipped and sophisticated, like a miniature home on the sea. There were only three of them.
After resting for a few days, Wen Yin's tail regained its strength. With Cangli's patient support and guidance, she began to try to "walk" on the deck with her tail.
This was much more difficult than she had imagined, requiring extremely strong waist and abdominal strength and coordination of the tail. She almost fell several times, but fortunately Cangli caught her in time.
She looked at Cangli and Cangyu's freely moving human legs and couldn't help but sigh: "Human legs are still more convenient..."
Before he finished speaking, Cangyu, who had been leaning against the cabin door and silently looking at the sea, suddenly turned around, his dark eyes deep and unfathomable.
"Do you regret it?"
His tone was calm, but there was a sense of danger in it for no reason. He walked towards her with long legs.
Wen Yin's heart tightened. At this moment, she was barely supporting her body with her tail. Behind her was Cangli who was holding her in his arms, and in front of her was Cangyu who was approaching step by step with a stern expression.
This situation of being attacked from both sides made her feel like she was facing a powerful enemy and her scalp went numb.
She swallowed subconsciously, looked at the two people's human legs, and hurriedly tried to make up for it.
"I mean...it's not fair that you all can switch between your legs and tails, but I can only use my tail."
Cangyu had already walked in front of her. When he heard this, his eyes darkened and his voice became low.
"Because we are not truly living people, but more like a kind of... concentration of obsession and power, so we can do whatever we want. And you..."
His fingertips gently brushed across the silver scales behind Wen Yin's ears, bringing a slightly cool touch.
"You were transformed alive, you are a real being, and naturally you are limited by the rules of this body."
After he finished speaking, his aura changed slightly, and his long legs were instantly replaced by a strong and powerful ink-black fish tail.
The huge tail fin stretched out across the narrow deck aisle, taking up almost all the space, its scales gleaming with a dark, cold luster in the sunlight.
"Since you think it's unfair," Cangyu's tail fin swayed gently, stirring up a fine mist, "then we'll treat everyone equally from now on and use our tails on the boat. Is that okay?"
At this moment, the boat was shaken slightly by a wave.
Wen Yin was already standing unsteadily, and the sudden shaking caused her tail to slip. With a scream, she uncontrollably pounced towards Cang Yu in front of her. In a panic, she could only clumsily hug his thin waist to avoid falling.
Just as she was about to look up and say sorry, she felt the whole fish being rolled up by a powerful inky tail and completely falling into Cangyu's cool but solid arms.
Cangyu looked down at her, then raised his eyes to look at Cangli behind her. The two brothers' eyes met briefly in the air, and they seemed to have reached some kind of silent understanding in an instant.
"You can't stand steadily because the power of your tail is not strong enough."
Cangyu held her in his arms, and with a flexible swing of his huge inky tail fin, he slid her towards the shallow freshwater pool on the side of the boat, which was not big but large enough for use.
"It seems that the previous training was not enough. We need to practice more."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Yin was taken by him and immersed in the slightly cool water.
-
Without the desire that burned the mind during the fever period, all senses became unusually clear and sharp.
The temperature of the water, the touch of scales touching each other, and even the subtle changes in each other's breathing seemed to be magnified.
Wen Yin felt with extraordinary clarity the process of the silver-white scales that had just regained their calm being gently and firmly opened again.
Every slightest touch made her tremble.
She felt that this kind of "extra training" in a sober state seemed to be more difficult and more embarrassing than during the fever period.
Fortunately, Cangli was just leaning against the edge of the pool and watching this time. Although there were dark currents in his dark blue eyes and his fingertips were unconsciously stroking the pool wall, he didn't seem to have any intention of trying to join in for the time being.
But his scorching gaze, as if tangible, was almost fixed on the overlapping tail fins of the two people.
Wen Yin felt as if she was being invaded at the same time.
After just a few rounds, Wen Yin's silver-white tail, which had finally regained some strength, dangled limply in the water again during this sudden "extra training".
A few days later, the boat finally stopped in a deep sea area, surrounded by several beautiful islands.
The exhausted Wen Yin was finally carried out by Cang Yu, who looked very satisfied, and left the shallow pool where she had been trapped for several days.
"arrive."
"Our new home."
