[1 more] His selfishness is secretly hidden.

Xu You is sitting on the beach, with Si Yu sitting side by side on his left, and a large rock with a fishing rod on his right.

She moved her leg and was hit in the calf by something hard, dug through the sand and realized it was a small shell, so she threw it aside and turned to Si Yu, "What did you guys just talk about?"

After she said she probably belonged to the Ghost Clan, the eight big beautiful fish froze, probably the first time in the history of the shark mates that there was a Ghost Clan.

After a short period of eerie silence and staring, Si Yu is called over for another informal, secret meeting.

It doesn't matter if it's a secret or not, Xu You doesn't understand the language of the sharks.

After a few moments of chatting, Si Yu returned, the brothers looked at Xu You for a few moments, swam away with strange expressions, and the sea regained its usual calmness.

Si Yu : "They asked something related to the Ghost Nation."

Xu You, who was a ghost himself, didn't know much about the Ghost Clan, so he asked him, "So how did you answer?"

"Just deal with it." The point was to tell them to get lost, he didn't like people bothering him and Xu You .

"Huh," Xu You says, "I thought you guys were gonna do some brotherly bonding." Like having a natter, a bite to eat or something.

Si Yu: "Sharks like to be alone."

Once they are able to feed on their own, the young sharks will leave their parents and find their own patch of sea to live in. Apart from their lifelong companions, they seldom get together in groups, and today's gathering is extremely rare, both to make sure that Si Yu is safe, as they have been anxious since they found out that he had been killed and had not been heard from in the past few months, and to see the person to whom he is chanting his love song.

Xu You could tell he wasn't too keen on carrying on the conversation, and whether it was because of their initial objections or the fact that it interrupted that kiss, she went along with it without saying another word, pulling the rod up to take a look at the top, which was bait free, without catching a single fish.

She clearly saw a lot of fish nearby, all in several schools, and froze without a single hookup.

Xu You rehooks the bait and throws the hook back into the sea.

She fished from mid-afternoon to late evening, engaging in sacrificial bait pouring, sighing, "I don't seem to have any luck with fish, and if I can't catch any more, let's have a piece of the sea air in the evening, and it comes with its own salty flavor."

Si Yu smiled and said, "I'll go grab whatever you want to eat."

Xu You can accept that you don't want to fish, but you can't accept that you can't catch a single fish, and all of a sudden your fighting spirit is spent here: "No, I must catch a fish."

There are so many things in the world that look at the face, she still doesn't believe it, fishing also looks at the face.

There's a metaphysical saying that black faces are bad luck, and it's true that as a spirit, she doesn't have a white face - but those fish underwater can see it?

"Seven-eight, it's because I was a cat in my past life, so I don't have a fish connection," Xu You said in his head, "or you grubbed up the points and bought me a pair of broken rods."

"Aigoo, what kind of person are you now, don't you have some A number?" Seven Eight crossed his legs, shaking, not forgetting to roll his eyes, "This pot can also be dumped on me, you are now a bogeyman ghost, bogeyman qi influence range can not be small, those life-thirsty small fish have long been scared by you fled."

Xu You understood, no wonder those fish didn't dare to come near her at the small lake before.

So that is to say that this life will not want to fish, anyway, no fish edge, but also to scare the fish enough, mainly because she was a cat at that time, know the heartache of catching fish, now just want to carry on a leisurely and suitable fishing life.

Xu You let out a low sigh and lifted the fishing rod to reel in the line, and was about to have the self-awareness to give up the permaculture activity when he heard Si Yu say, "You go over there and fish."

He lowered his eyes to the empty curved hook and continued, "It's got to be catchable."

Xu You looked in the direction he was pointing, halfway around the island, there was a big flat rock on the beach at that end as well, in fact, it would be the same in a different place, but hearing his slightly slightly raised tone, she couldn't help but smile, "Yes."

She walked down the boulder with her fishing rod, through small patches of brush to the boulder at the other end, and Si Yu, unable to walk with her on the ground, jumped off the rock and swam through the water.

Xu You sat down cross-legged, re-baited the hook, and cast the line farther out. The hook hadn't been in the water long before the line came tugging, and she lifted the rod and reeled in the line, with a mackerel flopping its tail furiously on the hook.

Xu You unhooks it, puts it in an ice bucket full of water, and casts the line again, this time without even a lure.

The hook hadn't been in the water for long when the line moved again, and Xu You riveted a bit of energy before pulling the fish up, an exceptionally large fish that flopped its tail and threw Xu You into the water.

Xu You scratches his face and unhooks this fish as well and throws it in the bucket.

The next fish she caught were all very strange, large and small, dark blue, lime green, big red ...... Some were especially pretty, some were especially odd, and one carried a little weak current that tickled and numbed her fingers, which was kind of fun.

Si Yu under the seabed catches another fish that can make a boinging sound, and fearing that the fish will throw Xu You in the water again, he knocks the fish right out of the water and waits for the hook to fall.

But this time, he waited for quite a long time without seeing the hook coming back, so he guessed that Xu You was tired of fishing, so he swam away from the area and appeared in front of Xu You from the side.

Xu You Like a fish vendor, an assortment of swoon-worthy fish were neatly listed on the ground, and she waved at him, smiling, "Look, I caught up so many fish."

Si Yu swept his eyes and nodded his head straight in praise, "You're good."

"And I don't know what the damn charm is on this hook," Xu You continued with a grin, "to get a fish hooked without bait."

"......"

Si Yu coughed softly and looked away, but in case she hadn't had enough, he changed the subject stiffly, "Still want to fish?"

"Think, think, think," this kind of open-ended operation that's catching a lot of fun fish, and Xu You asks, "Can you catch anything?"

"Can." He was there to fulfill whatever she wanted.

Xu You walked up to him and squatted down, suddenly reaching out to hook his silver hair behind his ear, and said in a soft voice, "I, ah, this time I want to catch the most beautiful fish in this ocean."

The unheated palm brushed the base of his ear and cheek, but Si Yu felt his face burning.

"Good." He said.

Si Yu swam back into the sea and surveyed the fish passing by around him.

Xu You re-lifted his fishing rod and touched the hook with one hand, not knowing what he was thinking, and hooked up a smile.

The hook arced through the air with the line and finally disappeared into the water.

It didn't take long for the line to move, slowly approaching in her direction.

At this time of the evening, half of the Sun has disappeared into the sea horizon, the other half of the afterglow haloed half of the sky, orange-red light melted in the water, at this moment the sea is not blue, but floating oil paint and crushed into the gold dust of the orange-yellow.

Against the backdrop of this half-wheeled Sun, which was brilliant and heavy in the sky, a silver-haired shark, against the setting sun, his body silhouette with a warm yellow halo, approached her.

He was supporting his upper body with his tail and holding a fishing line in his hand.

The white thread was reddened by the orange-red light, and the other end of the thread, in the palm of her hand.

One ghost, one fish, one land, one water, the beach and the sea have a clear demarcation line, and they are connected by this line in the middle.

Xu You locked eyes with those eyes that contained a light warm light across the space.

For a moment, she felt as if the thread in her hand was transmitting his emotions, like seawater, sometimes gentle and delicate, sometimes violently agitated, sometimes clear and quiet.

These emotions went right through her soul body and into her heart.

Until his heart burned and the thread in his hand was about to lose its grip.

Si Yu came to her and looked down at her, spreading his hands out in front of her.

There was a fishhook in his hand, not a curved one, but a straight one that she had replaced.

She didn't plan on catching any other fish.

" Xu You , you caught me." He looked at her, his eyes had a curved arc.

"Just don't let go, okay?"

He said softly.

--

The stars hang low, and the bright moon hangs distantly over the night.

The smell of charred fish emanates from the grilled fish. Xu You removes the grilled fish from the side of the fire and passes it to the side out of habit, falling short before remembering that Si Yu seems to have something to do tonight, and returns to the sea.

Xu You retracted his hand and was just about to take a bite of the fish, when the wooden stick with the fish fell straight into the sand.

Thinking that she had froze and hadn't been paying attention for a moment, and that there was no shortage of grilled fish anyway, she didn't mind too much, so she reached out to the fire for the fish once more.

Who knew that she could see the fire clearly through her right hand.

Her right hand became transparent.

Xu You froze for a long time, and his heart palpitated, "Seven or eight!!!"

"Swell?" Seven-Eight was jerking off, jerking off all over his face and making slurred noises from his stuffed mouth.

"Look at my hands." The entire wrist of her right hand had disappeared, and a pinky on her left.

"!" Chichibu took a look and dropped the skewer in his hand in shock, "Wait, what did you do you?!"

A few seconds later, her hand reappeared, back to normal, as if what had just happened was an illusion, Xu You wondered, "I didn't do anything."

Seven Eight said dully, "Is it because you ate too much fish and created a sin by killing."

Xu You was speechless for a moment and said, "Do you believe in this kind?"

Shichiba wiped the oil from his mouth and flipped out a stack of books, "Don't panic, I'll check."

Xu You had an indescribable feeling of uneasiness, lost her appetite for food, and lay down on the beach, looking at the bright moon above her head, thinking of Si Yu, who was walking towards her with a fishing line in his hand.

The night was sleepless and difficult, like a death row inmate about to face the final cut, Xu You withered his eyes and watched the bright moon in the sky slowly disappear.

When the light of day broke, Seven Eight finally spoke out, "Have you noticed that your color is getting lighter and lighter, as well as more and more like a normal soul?"

"That's because your fury is slowly dissipating."

Xu You raised an eyebrow, "So?"

Seven Eight's mouth blared, "A cake without a wife can be called a wife cake, but can you, a ghost without a bogeyman, be called a bogeyman?"

"......" Xu You held back, then asked, "So what do I have to do?"

Seven Eight: "Or you can go back to the birthplace of your fury first?"

"Back to the palace?"

"Right."

Xu You: "And then what, exactly, will be the final result?"

"This well ......" Seven Eight scratched his head, pointing at the world encyclopedia with the stumped pages, and said with a headache, "Since I didn't check it out, I'm not sure, so let's go check it out first."

It couldn't have been more pitiful, and the broken book that was redeemed for points was actually crippled.

Xu You stopped talking and closed his eyes, pondering over the matter.

Until the Sun rose, she was greeted by the sun, and after an indeterminate amount of time, she felt the lightness of her eyelids darken as a shadow silently shielded her from the sun.

Xu You slowly opened his eyes and caught a glimpse of those gentle light blue eyes.

She sits up, and as she does, Si Yu subconsciously flicks his tail back and hides it in the sand.

Xu You noticed, and without moving, went around behind him, held down his tail, and ruffled the sand, seeing that a few fish scales were mutilated on his fish's tail, revealing red flesh, like the back of a human hand with a few chunks of skin gouged off.

Sharks love beauty, and their tails are especially important. Even Si Yu has said that his tail is more important than his face.

"What happened?" Xu You looks up at him, "Did you get into a fight last night?"

Si Yu doesn't lie, but when he doesn't want to say anything, he keeps his head down and picks at the sand in an unnatural way, just like a kid who comes back from a fight and gets blamed by his mom or dad.

Xu You squatted, lowered his eyes, and suddenly said, " Si Yu , I'm leaving."

Si Yu sniffing, jerked up his head, calm gaze broken in an instant, he whispered, " Xu You I was wrong, will not do so again, you do not be angry ......."

Xu You interrupted him, "It's not you, it's me who wants to look somewhere else."

"The ocean is indeed beautiful, but I've been here for over a month now and there are so many beautiful places under the sun."

She thought that as a ghost, she wouldn't be able to feel the cold anymore, but she now felt her heart and fingertips were cold through and through.

" Si Yu, you know, human life is very short, and in that short life, I spent it all in Dungeon, so now that I have the chance, I want to go around."

The air was a sudden silence as the words fell.

Si Yu was silent for a long time, his eyelashes lowered, his timbre a little shaky, "Will you ...... come back?"

He leaned over and took hold of her coat, pleading in a small voice, "We'll see each other again, won't we?"

"Of course I will, don't forget I'm a ghost now, and ghosts don't die, maybe longer than you've lived in thousands of years," Xu You curled his lips reluctantly, "We'll have another reunion moment as soon as we meet the sea."

This time it was hard to get rid of the uneasiness in the bottom of her heart, and it was hard for her to talk about it without going to determine what was going on; she didn't want Si Yu to live in great fear and uneasiness on the days when she couldn't see her.

Si Yu lowered his eyes, remembering the days in that forest, Xu You picking flowers on the mountain, pulling eggs out of the trees, like an elf active and jumping, vivid and lovely, and then remembering the depressing and stuffy Dungeon, where she had been locked up for countless days and nights.

He couldn't say no or find a reason to keep her.

Only, it hurt him to even breathe.

Xu You shifted her gaze, noting his large, sunburned, dehydrated tail that had lost its color, the way he always did, out of his perch and accompanying her on the shore as much as he could.

He should have stayed in the water, always.

A white hand appeared within sight, its knuckles raised from clenched fists.

Xu You froze and looked up at him.

"So ..... Take this and don't take it off." He tried his best to restrain the emotion in his voice.

And his other hand, along with the sandstone, clenched tightly, the tiny sandstone seemed to mix into his palm, sharpening and hurting.

Xu You lowered his eyes and saw a necklace lying in the palm of his hand, a necklace with a very thin silver chain running through a crystal pentagram.

She was stunned for so long that Si Yu thought she was going to refuse.

His eyes melted with pain and pleading, "Take it."

Xu You picked up the necklace, and the memories returned uncontrollably, it was exactly the same as the necklace she had once made for Jue Shen, only what was contained in the five-pointed star was different, and that one contained her heart's blood, because there was Jue Shen's heart in her body, and there was him in her blood as well.

And this one, which was filled with light blue silver powder, glittered with a fine silver light under the refraction of the sun, like the bright moon reflected in the water being contained in it.

Si Yu helped her put it on herself.

He had made this necklace last night, he didn't know why it was in this shape, a cloud of vague memories guiding him.

When he made it, he was overwhelmed with joy and excitement, thinking that Xu You might like it, and that he would be happy because he liked it.

He didn't expect it to turn into a parting gift, and all the fervor he was filled with turned cold into ice.

As it was, he didn't tell her that it hid his selfishness.

The silver dust in the crystal pentagram was ground into his body by picking the best looking scales from his tail.

Within a certain range, he could feel her.

His selfishness is secretly hidden from anyone, including her.
