Chapter 648 You’ll Get to See Zixi Soon

Ziyue leaned steadily on his back. She shined the torchlight to guide him back to the cabin.

Muchen's clothes naturally dried themselves from the sea breeze.

"You can let me down now. We'll head back faster if I walk by myself." Ziyue worried he would catch a cold in the breezy night weather.

However, Muchen was as stubborn as a cow.

"We'd reach the cabin in no time if I carried you on my back as well."

Muchen immediately quickened his pace.

Ziyue felt that Muchen was exceptionally competitive and stubborn today. He wouldn't let anyone else have it their way.

He was fine when they first arrived on the island. But what happened?

"What happened to you?" Ziyue mulled over his odd behavior before asking him.

As she turned to look at him, the light on the torchlight started to sway.

His gorgeous side profile looked delicate in the slight shimmer of light.

Ziyue couldn't resist giving him a peck on his cheek.

Muchen suddenly froze.

Before Ziyue could say anything, he had put her down and calmly said to her, "We're here."

Ziyue finally realized the place they arrived at was the garden entrance of Grandma Qi's cabin.

They could faintly hear the conversation between Grandma Qi and Grandpa Qi.

"Why haven't they come back?"

"They're a young couple who have lots of energy. Let them play around for longer."

"Old coot, why are you still so immature at this age?"

"That's not what I meant."

Ziyue felt her cheeks turn red when she overheard their conversation.

Why did his words make her feel like they did something inappropriate or shameful?

"Let's go inside!" She pulled Muchen's hand.

She couldn't tell if Muchen had heard their conversation. In the next moment, he held her hands tightly.

Ziyue wouldn't let him hold her hand, so she immediately flung his hands away. "I'll go in on my own. Hurry up and come in."

She scampered towards the garden with her hands covering her face as she felt the heat rising in her cheeks.

Luckily, the old couple didn't tease them at the table.

Ziyue understood that they had no ill intentions, and their innocent banter earlier was only a playful remark.

……

The next day, Grandpa Qi wanted to take them to the sea.

The faces of Ziyue and Muchen were masked with confusion as they stared at each other. Even though they wanted to go to the sea, it could be strenuous for Grandpa Qi, despite his fit appearance.

Ziyue had never seen Muchen in a straw hat and tacky clothes. Even though it didn't suit his style, it didn't affect his overflowing charisma.

Ziyue stared at him in admiration. As she walked closer to him, she said softly, "You're the most good- looking fisherman I've ever seen."

Muchen raised his brows, "There's no point complimenting me. I've never tried fishing before."

"I'm genuinely impressed by you. It's not to pressure you," Ziyue said with a pouty face as she felt wrongly accused.

Muchen bit his lips, and he looked far across the sea. He held onto her shoulders and pointed to the front, "Do you see it?"

"What is it?" Ziyue's gaze followed the direction he pointed in, but she didn't notice anything special other than the vast sea.

She thought Muchen fooled her. Ziyue got irritated and held her fist towards him, "That's enough!"

"Dolphin." Muchen swiftly held onto her fist and lifted her chin with his other hand to make her look closely. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Ziyue focused her eyes on the vast sea. As the boat moved further towards the sea, her vision of the sea expanded. Suddenly, her eyes widened as she squealed excitedly, "It's really a dolphin! I've only seen them in the aquarium!"

Muchen turned his head to gaze at her. A warm smile spread across his face when he saw her excitement overflow, looking as if she was about to jump around in joy. However, his smile was short- lived as his expression turned solemn the next second.

……

Everyone on the boat was focused on experiencing the fun at sea instead of catching fish. Nonetheless, with the fish they caught, they could enjoy another dish at the table while keeping the remaining catch inside the pond for their meal some other day.

Among everyone there, Ziyue seemed most excited and astounded by the view, like a kid that had just ventured out of their house for the very first time.

In that way, they spent several days here walking by the seaside, swimming, picking fruits, and helping the old couple care for their vegetables. Their days were mundane and ordinary.

However, Ziyue had never felt this wholesome and satisfied before.

She would hope for Zixi to be here whenever she had time to herself.

If only their family could be together…

Muchen was quick-witted. He knew she was thinking of Zixi when she started to space out.

He told her, "You'll get to see Zixi soon."
