Chapter 229: Between Sea and Sky
February 1 is the traditional lunar year, and it happens to be a Monday. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAt 6 o'clock in the morning, there are few tourists in Hong Kong's Repulse Bay, which is much quieter than the bustling scene after sunrise.
Yue Shuluo wore a light blue cheongsam and walked barefoot on the beach. The temperature in the morning was low, only 10 degrees Celsius, but she walked slowly as if she didn't feel the cold.
Walking beside her was Jiang Ruli, who was dressed casually, carrying a pair of high heels in his hand. During this time, Jiang Ruli had many opportunities to be by Yue Shuluo's side, which made him very happy. For example, when he came to Hong Kong this time, Yue Shuluo only called him and K1, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud: K1 was the person Hou Ye relied on the most, and he probably had a different weight in Yue Shuluo's heart. Otherwise, there are so many people in the crown, why did they call him?
Jiang Ruli was still snickering, and a question from Yue Shuluo pulled his thoughts back to reality, "Doctor Jiang, do you like the sea?"
"It's ok. Jiang Ruli said honestly, "I can swim, but I usually can't think of taking the initiative to go to the beach to play." ā
"Where you used to live, was there a sea?" Tsukishuluo looked at him curiously.
Jiang Ruli hesitated for a moment and said, "There is only the river, and the sea is still some distance away from us. Even though we were all quite tanned, it looked like we grew up by the sea. ā
"Why do I always feel that you are hiding something?" Yue Shuluo laughed softly, "Doctor Jiang, is there something that Master Hou is not allowed to tell me?"
"No! no!" Jiang Ruli hurriedly explained, "Manager Yue, don't think too much. He said with some embarrassment, "When I was a child, my family was very bad, so I didn't want to talk about the past. ā
"I see. Yue Shuluo brushed her hair that was blown by the sea breeze, and her big, round eyes reminded Jiang Ruli of the bright moonlight on the sea.
"Mr. Yue, I want to ask, why did you suddenly come to Hong Kong?" Jiang Ruli looked at the villas on the beach slope in the distance and asked, "Although I am also very happy to come out to play, I don't know the reason, I always feel a little uneasy." ā
Yue Shuluo winked playfully, "I said I miss the sea, do you believe it?"
"Letter. Jiang Ruli said without hesitation, "I believe everything you say." ā
Yue Shuluo looked at Jiang Ruli in surprise, and then laughed, "You're such a nerd." Her eyebrows and eyes were delicate and charming, but she did not lose her innocence, Jiang Ruli was stunned.
"What are you looking at?" Yue Shuluo stretched out his hand and shook it in front of him, "as if he didn't know me." ā
"Every time I see you, I feel something new. Jiang Ruli said honestly, "Every time it's like I just met you." ā
"What is this?" Yue Shuluo said with a smile, "Flirting with girls?"
Jiang Ruli mustered up the courage to ask, "Can I?"
Yue Shuluo glanced at him, "Do you dare?"
Jiang Ruli had imagined thousands of answers, but he never thought that Yue Shuluo would be so calm, and he said a little embarrassed: "Manager Yue, I don't know what your definition of 'dare' is. ā
Yue Shuluo pursed her lips and smiled, "Look there." She stretched out her hand and pointed to the east. Through the faint light, you can faintly see that it is the building of the Hong Kong Life Saving Association. The antique design of the red tile green cover and the cornice arches makes it look more like a temple than a water lifesaving organization.
"Ah, I seem to remember, that's the life-saving association?" Jiang Ruli said stunned.
"Yes. Yue Shuluo said softly, "There are brave people in there, who do not hesitate to put themselves in danger in order to save the unfortunate drowning life." ā
"I kind of get what you mean. Jiang Ruli was a little disappointed, "You think I'm not brave enough." ā
Yue Shuluo smiled slightly, "What will you do for your beloved?"
The sea breeze was blowing, and Jiang Ruli didn't know what it was like in his heart. He walks on the beach with the "goddess", but he seems to be getting farther and farther away from the "goddess's" heart. "Whatever she needs, I give. He stared at the moon and said, "As long as I have it, I can do anything." Is that brave?"
Yue Shuluo gently kicked the soft sand, "Do you remember the last words I said to you before we got out of the elevator at the Meiben Center in June last year?"
Jiang Ruli was stunned for a moment, he tried to think for a while, "It would be good to meet you earlier?"
Yue Shuluo smiled and said nothing. She turned her head and admired the crystal clear waters. At this time, the sun is rising, and countless neon clouds are sprinkled. The sea water is caressed by the sun, and the waves are touching and moving. The wind shook and crashed against the sea, shattering the crystal-like waves and dropping countless snow-white foams.
The sea and the sky are endless, and they are eternal. Between the sky and the sea, there are countless stories unfolding, and in the end, they will all deduce a sad or heartbreaking ending.
The moon is tired of walking. She straightened the hem of her cheongsam and sat down on the spot.
Jiang Ruli hesitated for a moment, and then sat down.
"When I was a child, I saw the sea, and it was blue. I saw flowers when I was young, and she was red. "Now, a stranger sits beside me, and he has no color. ā
Jiang Ruli thought quickly, he couldn't figure out what the moon was about.
It's a poem by Edith Sodgland. Yue Shuluo said lightly, "Don't be nervous, you think I'm giving you exam questions, do you?"
"No!" Jiang Ruli hurriedly said, "I rarely read humanities books, and I'm appreciating them." ā
"I don't know why, as soon as I see the sea, I think of Master Hou. Yue Shuluo said, "Although I liked the sea very much before I met Hou Ye. ā
"It's because Master Hou is like the sea, making you unpredictable. Jiang Ruli smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's not like I'm stupid, you can see through everything you think." ā
Yue Shuluo shook her head slightly, "You guys are not comparable, and I have no intention of comparing. She grabbed a handful of sand and slowly opened her fingers to see the soft sand slip between her fingers. "I just think that Hou Ye has suffered a lot, and he is like the sea, containing a lot of dirty things that we can't see. She looked up, "If you compare people to bodies of water, I think there are very few people who can afford to be 'the sea'." Because the vast majority of people can only bear a limited amount of love and hate, and beyond a degree, they will collapse. And Hou Ye is different. ā
"Is it because he seems to have no desires, no love and no hate?" Jiang Ruli couldn't help but ask.
"You're wrong. Yue Shuluo laughed, "Master Hou must have loved deeply before, that's why he hates it so fiercely now." It's just that his love and hate are too strong, so it looks like he has no desires. ā
Jiang Ruli blinked suspiciously, obviously not understanding.
"You've known Master Hou for so many years, haven't you noticed it at all?" asked Yue Shuluo with a wink.
"Perceive what?"
"Hou Ye is a person full of hatred in his heart, and most of the actions he planned should be related to revenge. Yue Shuluo patiently explained, "Although I don't know who the object of his hatred is, I can be sure of one thing, that is, when Hou Ye was young, he should not have encountered these things. ā
"Why do you say that?"
"Because sometimes there is something strange in his eyes, as if he is reminiscing......" Tsukigaru pondered the words, "as if he was recalling something happy and sweet." Although this memory is fleeting. ā
Jiang Ruli's heart was a little sour, he got up early in the morning, but he had to listen to Yue Shuluo tell him about another man. But he didn't protest, just listened silently.
Perhaps, it is because he once had a happy life that he is so angry. Yue Shuluo sighed, "Poor man. ā
"How do you know that Hou Ye was very happy before? Perhaps, Hou Ye was born to live a life that you and I don't know, and that kind of life is full of revenge and sorrow, and it is also very possible. Jiang Ruli said a little unconvinced.
"Because. Yue Shuluo's eyes contained a trace of emotion that Jiang Ruli couldn't understand, "Master Hou is different from me. ā
Jiang Ruli looked at her in surprise. Yue Shuluo had never revealed his heart like this, and he said a little helplessly: "Were you bitter before?"
"Do you want to swim?"
"Huh?" Jiang Ruli said in a panic, "I'm not wearing a swimsuit." ā
"Is it important?" said with a smile on the moon, "I didn't wear it either." ā
Jiang Ruli blinked, not knowing what to say.
"There's no one here, just me and you. Yue Shuluo stood up. She said calmly, "I don't shy away from you, will you avoid me?" After saying that, she actually began to unbutton her clothes.
Jiang Ruli was embarrassed and quickly turned his head.
A few drops of rain fell on Jiang Ruli's shoulders, and he couldn't help but say, "Do you really want to swim? It seems to be raining." ā
"Some people say that the rain is the tears of angels, and it falls only to wash away the sins of this world. "The rain will eventually merge into the sea, just as we will definitely blend into the crowd." ā
Jiang Ruli didn't answer, in fact, he didn't know what to say. He vaguely felt that Yue Shuluo had a very heavy heart, and it was inextricably linked with Wan Guohou.
After a few minutes, he slowly turned back and saw a cheongsam and a set of underwear neatly arranged on the beach.
The moon has already swam into the sea.
From a distance, she looks like a mermaid in a dream, frolicking freely in the indigo ocean. The gentle waves embraced her, the proud seabirds chased her, the bright sun kissed her, and she only cared about sprinting forward, without a moment's pause.
Meanwhile, at Zurich Airport in Switzerland, it was exactly twelve o'clock in the evening.
Z2 and E1 were pushing their luggage, while Wan Guohou was talking to Beatrizzi and Pietro. Pietro insisted on sending the Marquis of Venice, and he accompanied the Marquis from Venice to Zurich, but he was still reluctant.
"I also hope to go to the magic capital and join them. Pietro gestured, pointing at Fabrizio and the others.
"I hope you take care of yourself. Wan Guohou said earnestly, "Send you a thousand miles, and there will be a farewell." We'll see you again, don't worry. ā
When Beatrizzi finished translating this sentence, Pietro's expression darkened. A few seconds later, he hurriedly gestured again.
"Uncle said......" said Beatrizzi sadly, "he hoped to see the fall of the 'Unbenevolent Society' in his lifetime." ā
"Definitely. Wan Guohou said categorically, "Please tell Uncle that he will definitely see this day." ā
"Uncle said, I hope to see you without contact lenses in the future. ā
Wan Guohou smiled slightly, and he pointed his eyes at Pietro, "Believe me, I don't like to wear this thing either." ā
Uncle also said that I hope you have more time to come to Venice to play. Beatrizzi wiped her eyes, "He lamented that his time was running out. ā
Wan Guohou's heart was sour, and he hurriedly said: "Don't think about it, I see that the uncle is in good health, and there is no problem at all to teach Thiago a lesson." ā
Thiago on the side was a little aggrieved and said, "Why do you want to teach me a lesson again?"
"Who called you the weakest?" E1 laughed and slapped Thiago, who was immediately thumped back a step.
"Alright, don't make a fuss. Fabrizio said, "Let's get down to business. He looked at Wan Guohou, "Master Hou, then, let's still follow the original plan?"
"Yes. Wan Guohou said, "I'll go back to the magic capital first, I'm going to New York in a few days, and there are some things to do in a hurry." ā
"Understood. Fabrizio said, "How many of us will go to Tokyo first, and then meet in the magic capital?"
Wan Guohou nodded.
"Master Hou, then I will go to the Vatican first as you instructed?" E1 asked.
"Go ahead, your Latin is the best, and I hope you can find what I need in those materials. Wan Guohou said meaningfully, "But don't stay too long, here in the Demon Capital, I also need your help." ā
"Yes. E1 smiled happily and said that he was proud to have been entrusted with this important task.
"Master Hou, I seem to be a little reluctant to you. Thiago pouted and said, "Am I going to bend?"
The crowd burst into laughter.
"You still have to die, Hou Ye will not take a fancy to you no matter what. E1 grimaced, "You can rest assured that you'll be your 'lovelorn king'." ā
"I understand Thiago's feelings, and I always feel that Hou Ye's stay is too short. Beatrizzi said.
"I've stayed longer than I had planned. Wan Guohou smiled and looked at Picatero, "Uncle's cooking skills are so good that I stayed for a few more days." ā
Beatrizzi translated the sentence, and Pietro's eyes lit up immediately, "Really? ā
Wan Guohou smiled, "Just leave me some thoughts, I'll taste it next time." ā
After saying that, he hugged the group one by one, and then turned to leave. He has always disliked the scene of farewell, there are so few people in this world who can care about him, but he still has to face parting again and again.
"It's a world of unkindness, so even if there is only one line of affection I can grasp, I have to hold on to it. He listened to the sound of urging him to board the plane on the airport radio, but his steps became more and more determined.
