    Chapter 59

    The youth’s movements were more practiced than his own, more fierce, more ruthless.

    Tan Zhui couldn’t help but groan, as if all his breath had been swallowed by the youth, his chest aching slightly.

    He subconsciously nudged the youth’s shoulder with his elbow, murmuring in a flustered tone, “Furong…”

    Sui Chunsheng scooped him up, landing him on the nearby railing. His kisses were too turbulent, harassing the man until his face was flushed and his breathing unstable.

    Tan Zhui’s voice was soft and trembling, “Furong…”

    The White Deer Immortal wanted to use his name to awaken the youth’s reason, to make him let go.

    But little did he know, it only fueled the youth’s desire.

    “Master, calling my name at a time like this is too cunning…”

    Finally, he didn’t know how much time had passed. Tan Zhui’s consciousness was becoming hazy. He couldn’t help but push the youth, letting out a low, struggling moan.

    The youth released him, and the sound of their lips separating made a crisp popping sound.

    Tan Zhui finally managed to breathe, panting roughly, supporting himself on the youth.

    “It’s… it’s almost the hour of Si…” He was afraid that the youth would pounce again.

    Sui Chunsheng smiled, picking him off the wooden railing and said softly, “Alright, we should go out.”

    The Blue Sea.

    As they approached the Blue Sea, the sea breeze became more turbulent, wildly blowing their hair and clothes, making a chaotic sound, yet it seemed so small in the face of the sea waves.

    The villagers were happy to see them and gathered around.

    Among them, a tall and sturdy man spoke first, “Little Zhui, kind benefactor, this boat is for you to use.”

    He was dragging a very delicate small boat, which looked like it was newly made.

    Tan Zhui thanked him hurriedly, “Thank you, Brother Duoer, you’ve gone to so much trouble.”

    Jiji Duoer laughed heartily, “Hey, don’t be so polite with us.”

    The villagers echoed, “Yeah, Little Zhui, kind benefactor, don’t be polite with us.”

    Tan Zhui responded quickly, “Alright, I won’t be polite.”

    Everyone prepared, pushing the boats into the sea.

    Sui Chunsheng followed suit, pushing the boat in front of him into the water.

    Jiji Duoer said from the side, “Brother Furong, since it’s your first time, don’t go too deep.”

    Sui Chunsheng nodded, “Okay, thank you, Brother Duoer.”

    The elders on the shore waved, “Have a safe trip!”

    The younger generation on the boats responded.

    Sui Chunsheng laid out a soft cushion for Tan Zhui, along with a layer of fur blanket, before letting him sit down.

    The seat was very comfortable, he himself was in the cabin, and the youth was paddling the boat outside.

    There was some distance between them, but they looked at each other.

    Most of the boats around them also had couples, but those sitting in the cabins included both girls and young men.

    The boats slowly approached the deep sea.

    Tan Zhui couldn’t help but look at the surface of the sea beside him. Within the dark blue, there seemed to be streams of light, like inverted stars, which was very amazing.

    He couldn’t help but reach out his hand, gently touching the surface of the water.

    Small ripples slowly spread, making the blue stars shine even more brightly.

    People had already begun casting their fishing nets.

    Sui Chunsheng followed Jiji Duoer’s instructions and cast his net.

    The youth threw the net out powerfully, his movements fluid.

    The net sank into the sea, and the youth stood at the front of the boat, smiling at the person in the cabin.

    After the net was cast, all that remained was patient waiting.

    Sui Chunsheng returned to the cabin, and the bottom of the boat swayed slightly.

    Tan Zhui’s heart also trembled. When the youth approached, he brought a sweet fragrance of hibiscus.

    The youth took out a bag of fish slices and placed it in his hands.

    “I dried them with magic in the morning and sprinkled them with salt and pepper. They taste pretty good.”

    Tan Zhui smelled the faint fragrance and hurriedly took a slice to bite into.

    The fish slices were a bit chewy but not tough.

    The taste was just right, good to eat as a snack.

    Tan Zhui narrowed his eyes, his mood becoming cheerful.

    Sui Chunsheng took out a water pouch and placed it by his side, “Fruit wine, drink a little less.”

    Tan Zhui nodded.

    His alcohol tolerance wasn’t good, so the fruit wine the youth made basically didn’t contain alcohol, but it was unavoidable.

    Therefore, Tan Zhui would get drunk after just one cup, so drinking a bit of this fruit wine was fine.

    Because of this, Tan Zhui really liked drinking the sweet fruit wine Furong made, the sweetness of grapes, mixed with the sourness of berries.

    The youth sat down beside him, and Tan Zhui didn’t forget to share some of his cushion.

    The two sat together, looking at the blue sea.

    Around them were the sounds of everyone chatting and joking.

    Tan Zhui ate some fish slices, drank some fruit wine, and became a little sleepy.

    His eyelids felt heavy, and he subconsciously leaned on the youth’s shoulder.

    Sui Chunsheng chuckled softly and reached out to pull the man into his arms.

    Tan Zhui found a comfortable position, leaning into the youth’s embrace and falling asleep.

    Sui Chunsheng couldn’t help but kiss him on the forehead, rubbing his nose against him.

    Tan Zhui groaned, seemingly disturbed.

    Sui Chunsheng laughed silently, letting him lean on him.

    Jiji Duoer on the next boat laughed, “Brother Furong, you can pull in the nets in an hour.”

    Sui Chunsheng subconsciously looked at the sleeping person in his arms. Seeing that he hadn’t reacted, he replied softly, “Okay, I wish Brother Duoer a great harvest.”

    Jiji Duoer raised his eyebrows, “This time I just want to catch fish to sell at the ghost market.”

    “Unlike everyone else, you’re here for your beloved.”

    Everyone around couldn’t help but laugh.

    Someone joked, “Brother Duoer, you should find a girl soon!”

    “Hey! A young man would do too!”

    Jiji Duoer clicked his tongue, “You slippery kids, you dare to tease me.”

    Laughter broke out all around.

    Jiji Duoer looked at Sui Chunsheng and laughed heartily, “Brother Furong, if you catch a long-tailed pangolin this time, you have to propose to Little Zhui, kind benefactor, are you afraid?”

    Sui Chunsheng was puzzled, “What is there to be afraid of?”

    Jiji Duoer: “Some boys are so scared when they hear about getting married that they want to find their mothers.”

    There was a burst of laughter around, as if they had thought of someone.

    Jiji Duoer continued, “Brother Furong, are you afraid?”

    Sui Chunsheng subconsciously looked at the sleeping person in his arms, his expression sincere, “I can’t wish for anything more.”

    Jiji Duoer immediately burst into laughter, clapping his hands, “Good! Brother Furong is truly lucky, and has backbone.”

    “I hope Brother Furong can catch a long-tailed pangolin, so I can have a taste of your wedding wine!”

    Everyone followed, “Yes, wedding wine!”

    “I also want to have a taste of Little Zhui’s wedding wine!”

    “Everyone do your best, I’m happy to eat anyone’s wedding wine!”

    Finally, it turned into a burst of laughter.

    An hour passed, and someone shouted, “Time to haul in the nets!—”

    Tan Zhui slowly opened his eyes, still feeling sleepy.

    Sui Chunsheng saw that he had woken up and touched his cheek.

    “It’s time to haul in the nets.”

    Tan Zhui murmured a confused “Mm.”

    Sui Chunsheng: “If I catch a long-tailed pangolin, will you marry me?”

    Tan Zhui was taken aback, hearing this question right after waking up.

    He really didn’t know how to answer.

    But when he met the youth’s ardent gaze, he couldn’t say no.

    Tan Zhui said, “If you catch a long-tailed pangolin, I will marry you.”

    Then he would take a gamble, if it was really destined, he would give up everything and marry him.

    They would find a reason together, to indulge.

    Sui Chunsheng’s eyes lit up, his eagerness and anticipation reaching its peak.

    His eyes reddened, and he hurriedly went to haul in the nets.

    “You wait for me! You wait for me—”

    Tan Zhui looked at the youth’s back, that excited and eager youth.

    He smiled, and surprisingly, he also felt anticipation.

    Everyone hauled in their nets and paddled their boats back to shore.

    Almost everyone was impatient to untie their nets and see what they had caught.

    Sui Chunsheng was no exception.

    Everyone couldn’t help but look at them, watching the youth’s movements.

    As the youth untied the net, fish and shrimp poured down like a flood, scattered across the shore.

    Jiji Duoer helped to search and check.

    The youth was almost buried among the fish and shrimp, leaning down and searching back and forth.

    Even though the scales of the fish and shrimp were sharp, cutting his arms and grazing his fingertips, he still ignored the pain, searching through the fish and shrimp.

    Everyone could see his longing and anticipation, and couldn’t help but become excited and help search.

    But in the end, there was no sign of the long-tailed pangolin.

    Among the fish and shrimp, there were shimmering clam pearls and beautiful long-tailed fish.

    But there was no fiery red one, like the fire-red sunset at dusk.

    Sui Chunsheng’s heart couldn’t help but sink. The villagers had already realized the net was empty and couldn’t help but look disappointed.

    Jiji Duoer comforted, “It’s okay, the fish tide will come again next year, you will definitely catch one.”

    But Sui Chunsheng was still searching in the fish and shrimp, unwilling to give up.

    Jiji Duoer looked at the youth’s arm and quickly stopped him, “Don’t search anymore, Brother Furong, your hands will be ruined!”

    Tan Zhui quickly stepped forward, pulling the youth’s hand and taking him out.

    At first glance, you couldn’t see anything on the youth’s arm, but looking closer, once the youth relaxed, countless blood marks were exposed, oozing blood.

    The dense scars were shocking, and Tan Zhui’s heart ached.

    He hurriedly pulled him up and used his spiritual power to heal him.

    “Are you stupid? How can you be so reckless? I told you it’s gone, what are you still rushing in to find…”

    The villagers tactfully scattered, going to help others untangle their nets.

    Tan Zhui was heartbroken to heal him. When his spiritual power smoothed out those wounds, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

    He couldn’t help but scold sternly, “Stupid.”

    Sui Chunsheng kept his head down, not speaking.

    Tan Zhui saw his sadness and disappointment, and reached out to touch his head, his voice softening, “It’s okay, it’s originally a rare thing, no one can guarantee they can catch it.”

    The youth kept his head down and didn’t say anything, but his shoulders started to tremble slightly.

    Tears fell on Tan Zhui’s hand, as if they had fallen on his heart.

    Tan Zhui was heartbroken and cupped his face. The youth’s bright eyes were red from crying, looking extremely aggrieved.

    Tan Zhui used a handkerchief to wipe his tears, whispering, “Don’t cry.”

    “Good Furong, don’t cry.”

    He pulled the youth into his arms, rubbing his head, comforting him softly in his ear, “Good Furong, good boy, don’t cry, don’t cry.”

    “Next time, next time, you will definitely be able to catch one.”

    Sui Chunsheng rubbed his nose against him, his voice choked with tears, “Will we have a next time? I’m afraid, I’m always afraid you’ll leave me.”

    Tan Zhui’s heart sank.

    He knew that they wouldn’t have a next time, and knew that he shouldn’t give too many promises.

    This was all just a dream that could wake up at any moment. One day it would be shattered, and everything would return to the right track. This absurd dream would end sooner or later.

    But listening to the youth’s sobs, and feeling the youth’s tears soak his clothes.

    Tan Zhui couldn’t say a harsh word.

    He couldn’t bear to, he couldn’t bear to.

    Tan Zhui rubbed the youth’s head and kissed his cheek lightly.

    He said, “I promise you, we will have a next time.”

    Forgive me, for deceiving you.

    I’m sorry, my Furong.
