Du Liqing faintly felt a strange feeling when he looked at the clothes in Lu Juyan's hands. He lowered his head to look at his red clothes. They were slightly messy, and many parts of them had been pulled out by something. After raising some money, he still received the clothes in Lu Juyan's hands in the end.
"Thank you." Du Ruqing's icy-cold fingertip just happened to touch Lu Juyan's hand. She suddenly felt as if she'd been scalded. She subconsciously retracted her hand and moved it to the side. Feeling his gaze, he felt his scalp go numb.
She lowered her eyes and walked towards the bathroom with the clothes in hand. She felt awkward, but she couldn't say why. Ye Zichen quickly changed into the clothes, and saw the mirror in the washroom. Surprisingly, he felt that her body fit perfectly. He faced the mirror and twisted her slim waist, showing his posture. The corner of his mouth curled up into a satisfied smile. The awkward feeling he had initially had disappeared without a trace.
He opened the bathroom door and walked to Lu Juyan's side. Noticing his gaze, he followed his gaze. Coincidentally, he saw a dolphin jump onto the water. The originally calm sea water was instantly stirred up into ripples. The mischievous dolphin seemed to have felt Lu Juyan's gaze as it purposefully jumped out of the water, making many movements with its tail raised from time to time, continuously attracting Du Qing's attention.
"So beautiful." Du Xiangqing inadvertently whispered something, and a brilliant smile appeared on his lips. Coupled with the white dress she was wearing, a gentle breeze blew past, causing her hair to flutter. An immortal aura assaulted their senses.
Ever since Du Ruqing walked up to Lu Juyan, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Du Liqing's clothes that were snug to his body. A trace of amazement flashed in his eyes. Suddenly, he felt like his eyes couldn't move and couldn't leave Du Liqing's body.
At this moment, a scene appeared. Du Liqing was looking at the playful dolphin while Lu Juyan was looking at her. One of his eyes was filled with joy while the other was filled with love.
Nightfall quietly arrived. The two's boat was still a long way from reaching the shore. Lu Juyan turned her head to the side and said to Du Liqing, "To rest for the night. The journey is still far."
"Alright." Du Liqing retracted his gaze and looked at Lu Juyan with a slight smile on his lips. He walked towards a large bed not far away, lifted the blanket and climbed into it.
Just as Du Liqing was about to go to sleep, she coincidentally touched the jade pendant that the child had given her. She looked at Lu Juyan's figure and discovered that he had his back facing her. She subconsciously lowered her head. Following the faint light, he took a closer look at the jade pendant and realized that it was meticulously carved out of emerald jade. There even seemed to be a word engraved on it.
However, Du Liqing was not in the mood to watch any longer. Her fingertips gently rubbed against each other as the scene from that time repeatedly echoed in her mind. The uncomfortable feeling in her heart caused her to faintly feel depressed. He frowned and shook his head, not wanting to think too much about it. He closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.
"Silly girl." Lu Juyan's lips quirked into a smile when he heard Du Ruqing's gentle breathing. He walked to her bedside and gently covered her with the blanket. Looking at her comforting sleeping appearance, he couldn't help but whisper to her.
His fingertips lightly touched Du Ruqing's pink cheeks. Lowering his body, he couldn't help but touch her lips, giving her a dragonfly kiss.
A short while later, Lu Juyan stood up straight and left the place with light and slow steps. He walked to the door and intentionally closed it behind him. As he walked to the place where the ship was speeding up, he saw Jie Xing. Walking up to him, he coldly said, "Destroy that island."
"Yes sir!" He had already set up a joyous bomb on the island a long time ago. Right now, all he had to do was press the button in his hand, and the island would explode with a bang.
Lu Juyan didn't notice the look on Jie Yan's face as he wanted to say something, but he only gave a few orders before leaving. As he walked towards the cabin, he felt an indescribable feeling of nostalgia, as if he would never be able to forget it.
Inside the compartment, Dudian's blue eyes were closed. His eyelashes were trembling and his eyes were rolling from left to right. He was frowning. Under the blanket, his hands began to move restlessly as he muttered, "Don't, don't …"
Lu Juyan happened to hear these subtle murmurs as he was walking outside the door. He turned around and left the cubicle, walking towards the service area. Just then, he saw the box containing the warm milk. He casually picked up the cup beside him, washed it with hot water, and poured a cup of warm milk into the cup.
Ah!" Inside the compartment, Du Liqing screamed and abruptly opened his eyes. At the same time, he sat up from the bed. Looking at the unfamiliar scene in front of her, a trace of panic flashed past her eyes as beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
At this moment, Lu Juyan just happened to walk in with a cup of warm milk. When he walked up to Du Liqing's bedside and noticed that something was wrong with her mood, he handed her the warm milk and comforted her, "I'm here."
The three simple words caused a peculiar feeling to emerge from the bottom of Du Ruqing's heart, and the panic in his eyes instantly disappeared. He subconsciously lowered his gaze to look into Lu Juyan's deep eyes and took the milk from her. He took a sip and felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
"Thank you." Du Ruqing did not know what to say. Other than gratefulness, she did not seem to have any other topics to talk about. Her cold palm was warm from the warm milk. Lu Juyan's presence made her feel very at ease, though she didn't know what to say.
Lu Juyan used her fingertip to touch Du Ruqing's soft and tender cheeks. It was a very natural look, causing Du Ruqing's cheeks to redden slightly. He turned his head awkwardly, and before he could speak, Lu Juyan spoke faintly, "I don't like listening to thanks."
This seemed to be guiding Du Xiangqing in some direction, but her mind was sluggish for a moment, causing her to inadvertently change the topic. The two of them chatted in the tranquil atmosphere. The island that Du Liqing had just escaped from was currently experiencing a series of explosions, and the scene was extremely intense.
The next morning, the boat reached the shore. Lu Juyan had accompanied Du Liqing for most of the later half of the night, so the two chatted for a long time. Now that the boat had stopped, the two left the interval and walked out.
"I want to treat you to a meal." Du Ruqing knew that Lu Juyan didn't like listening to thanks, but the gratitude in her heart towards him was enough to faintly make her feel uncomfortable. He held onto the corner of Lu Juyan's clothes as he slowly opened his mouth and invited him.
"Alright." Lu Juyan agreed without the slightest hesitation. A faint smile formed on his lips as he grasped Du Liqing's hand and walked forward.
This scene happened to let Jie Xing, who had just walked out, clearly see everything. His originally continuing steps came to a halt. The expression on his face changed. He had been stuffed with dog food so early in the morning, so his mood was extremely complicated.
