Chapter 63: Chasing the Sea

Perhaps because it was still dark, the sea surface took on a calm gray-blue color. The tide gradually receded, exposing the soft sandy beach to the air.

Ye Yunhao held the fishing tools in his hands and left footprints of varying depths on the beach. If he was just fishing, he wouldn't have to come so early. But these words were of no use to Ye Yunhao who was already completely excited.

As a man who could build a yard full of snowmen on a snowy day and brought an indelible shock to his old father when he got up in the morning, Ye Yunhao saw the sea for the first time. He just secretly touched the fish and shrimps on the stall and occasionally shouted a few times out of curiosity, which was considered restrained.

Now, after talking with Sect Leader Shen and several elders, Ye Yunhao and Shuang Bei have truly completed the escort mission. Therefore, without the pressure of the heavy burden, Ye Yunhao can finally feel the sea in front of him.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Shuang Bei felt that Ye Yunhao's eyes seemed to be shining not far away. Perhaps because he was infected by the other party's cheerful mood, the smile on Shuang Bei's face seemed to be more genuine.

The white fluff on the cloak trembled slightly in the sea breeze. Shuangbei looked at the sea in front of him and thought that maybe waiting until sunrise would be a good choice.

But what's interesting is that it was Shuangbei who suggested catching up with the sea. Neither of them wanted to restrict the other because of themselves. In the end, under Ye Yunhao's strong request, Shuangbei still put on the furry cloak.

"Shuangbei, look!" Ye Yunhao pointed his finger at the sea in the distance. A beam of light shone through the clouds and illuminated his eyes, bright and vivid.

Shuang Bei looked in the direction of Ye Yunhao's finger. The sky in the distance was dyed with a layer of light pink at some point. The shadows on the horizon gradually dissipated, and the clouds retreated one after another. It seemed that everything was brightening up.

As the sun slowly rose, the sea surface seemed to be covered with a layer of golden scales, and the light became tangible at this moment.

"Wow!" Ye Yunhao seemed to have discovered something, and soon a dark purple starfish appeared in his hand. Although the sunlight was not enough to illuminate the entire beach, it did not affect Ye Yunhao's search for treasure on the beach.

Shuang Bei sat on the beach nearby, with a pink conch in his palm. Looking at Ye Yunhao digging hole after hole on the beach, he coughed lightly.

Almost at the moment when the cough sounded, Ye Yunhao, who was still chasing the crab, immediately stopped and turned around to look at Shuang Bei. However, the worry on his face turned into a guilty avoidance after he found that Shuang Bei was also looking at him.

Shuangbei waved in response.

"What's wrong?" Ye Yunhao trotted over and stopped in front of Shuang Bei and asked.

Shuangbei did not answer, but patted the beach on one side and motioned the other party to sit down.

Although he didn't know the reason, Ye Yunhao still sat aside obediently. The wooden barrel in his hand made a rustling sound as he sat down, which seemed to indicate that there were a lot of things inside.

"Ye Yunhao?"

"exist!"

The moment he heard his name, Ye Yunhao subconsciously straightened his back. Perhaps he realized that his actions were too radical. He looked at Shuang Bei cautiously for a few times, and then asked, "Is your throat uncomfortable again?"

Shuang Bei smiled and answered frankly: "No, I was just teasing you on purpose."

"Ah?!" Ye Yunhao was stunned and looked at Shuang Bei in disbelief.

Shuang Bei still held the conch in his hand, and his fingertips could feel the patterns on the conch. Under his gaze, Ye Yunhao, who was originally being teased, began to avoid his gaze and became a little restless.

"I don't want to bring any negative influence to you. You know I'm not that fragile." Whether it was the cloak today or the other party breaking into his room that night, under these concerns, Shuangbei saw more uneasiness and anxiety.

Ye Yunhao slowly lowered his eyes. He seemed not to want to discuss this topic too much. The moment the secret was discovered, he should have run away, but when it really happened, his body became so stiff that he just sat there, silent.

"......"

Shuangbei originally didn't want to discuss these things with the other party so quickly. Being treated as a porcelain doll was not a big deal. But when he saw the boy favored by the sunrise on the beach, he inexplicably changed his mind for no reason.

"you....."

Shuang Bei looked at Ye Yunhao with his head down and was about to speak when he found that he had shifted his gaze to the sea in the distance.

Ye Yunhao's current sitting posture could be described as well-behaved. He hugged his knees and said slowly, "My mother passed away on a spring afternoon."

"She could build snowmen with me even on snowy days, and we survived the winter and spring was coming, but my mother caught a cold and became bedridden. The cold caused her old illness to relapse, and she left me forever. Later, I was trapped in a fire by accident, and it was Abu who saved me. When I woke up, I heard that Abu had exhausted his energy to save me and now had a high fever. Abu had a fever for five days. I almost lost him. It was from that moment that I realized how fragile people are."

Unlike the lively look in the past, Ye Yunhao's eyes now showed a bit of confusion and helplessness.

Seeing that the other party was so depressed, Shuangbei blinked and coughed a few times.

This trick really worked. Ye Yunhao looked over almost reflexively. After seeing Shuang Bei's half-smile, he began to feel at a loss.

Shuangbei said: "But you still picked up the sword."

Hearing this, Ye Yunhao looked at his sword and asked, human fragility is fully reflected in powerlessness. After Abu's fever subsided, Ye Yunhao took the initiative to ask his father for his mother's sword. Later, he never complained or backed down during the boring sword practice day after day.

There was no need to say more. Shuang Bei picked up Han Shuang, stood up, untied his cloak and put it on Ye Yunhao. In the other's surprised eyes, he said: "Don't you always look at Han Shuang?"

It is said that a sword resembles its sword owner. On weekdays, Frost North is more like a young master who is carefully raised because of his frail health. But when the Frost is unsheathed, one will understand that Frost North is the ice and snow on the mountains, which cannot be approached and cannot be violated.

The Fourteen Frost Styles were created due to the cold poison in the body. Every time Frost North swung the sword, Ye Yunhao seemed to smell the breath of ice and snow.

Shuangbei's body flipped in the air, the sword light stirred up the sea water, the jumping water droplets were like broken sunlight, and wherever the tip of the sword pointed, there was a chill, and when it was sheathed, there was no trace of it.

Ye Yunhao watched every time Shuang Bei struck out with his sword without blinking, and after everything was over, he still maintained that expression until the sound of gasps behind him woke him up.

It turned out that they were patrol disciples from the Seven Star Island who were attracted by Shuang Bei. At this moment, they all looked at Shuang Bei with shining eyes. After noticing that the two were looking at them, they greeted them with red faces, but because they still had patrol work to do, they left reluctantly, and looked back three or two after every few steps.

"Amazing!" Ye Yunhao muttered to himself as if he had just come to his senses. The barrier that had been impossible to break through seemed to loosen at this moment.

Ye Yunhao walked in front of Shuang Bei with an expression of joy that he couldn't hide, "Thank you."

Shuang Bei looked at Ye Yunhao, "So..."

Ye Yunhao followed the other person's line of sight and looked at the cloak in his hand. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "I understand, but it's windy today, so I'll put it on."
