God's Gift

Lu Keming did not ask Yu Youyou who that person was, he already had the answer in his mind.

So he just lowered his eyelids silently, and his eyes, which seemed slightly dark in the shadow of his eyelashes, stared fixedly at the table, looking calm and indifferent on the surface.

But his fingers on his legs kept clenching, and the grape had long been crushed into pieces, turning into sticky juice. His nails dug into the skin again, and his eyes were bloodshot and red because of the disgust that surged in his heart.

"Ke Ming, what's wrong with you?" A dragon boat disappeared from Yu Youyou's sight. Yu Youyou turned her head and looked at Lu Keming, only to find that he was in a strange state.

Yu Youyou's crisp voice woke Lu Keming from his confusion. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Yu Youyou who was confused. He pressed his fingers lightly, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, smiled slightly, and shook his head:

"I was a little absent-minded just now thinking about something."

"What's the matter?" Yu Youyou immediately became interested when she heard this. She leaned forward in front of Lu Keming with her elbows on the table, and her voice was full of curiosity.

What else could make Lu Keming so distracted?

"Just some unimportant things." Lu Keming did not answer Yu Youyou's question. He changed the subject lightly, looked at Yu Youyou with an innocent smile, and said:

"This boat is full of mixed people, most of whom have bad intentions. If you want to find me in the future, just wait for me on the bridge."

"Oh." Although she didn't fully understand Lu Keming's meaning, Yu Youyou nodded without hesitation.

Yu Youyou didn't even ask Lu Keming the reason. Such a trusting look made Lu Keming's eyelids droop slightly, and the smile on his face became more genuine. He noticed Yu Youyou's bare wrist, and his eyes became more thoughtful. He asked:

"Do you need to... wear the five-colored silk thread?"

Yu Youyou was arranging the loquats on the table into the shape of small fish. When she heard Lu Keming's words, she stopped what she was doing and looked up at him in confusion.

"What five-colored silk thread?"

Lu Keming has been in the city for many years and has some understanding of human customs. "I see that humans often wear five-colored silk threads on their wrists on the Dragon Boat Festival. They can ward off ghosts and soldiers and prevent people from getting sick from plague. They are also called longevity threads and ward off soldiers."

After that, he seemed a little puzzled and asked, "Isn't there such a custom in your hometown?"

"No." Yu Youyou shook her head. There are no festivals in their sea.

But every time humans celebrated a festival, the ships on the sea would be very busy. After hearing the sounds of humans cheering and playing, she would often swim to the surface of the sea and quietly watch them.

Every time at that time, she would find humans very interesting, much more interesting than the silly fish in the sea.

But unfortunately, she is also a fish.

And she wasn’t the mermaid her mother had told her about. She didn’t have a human upper body, and no wizard could give her a pair of legs.

However, people often fall into the sea.

But because Yu Youyou is not a mermaid, she will not send the prince to the coast. She gets very excited every time she sees a human falling down, because a ship needs a captain and crew, but there are no humans on her ship in the abyss.

So Yu Youyou dragged the person into the sea whenever she picked him up.

But doing so would result in a beating from their mother, and after that they would have to bring those people back to the surface of the sea. However, if someone woke up halfway, they would scream loudly and their expressions would become very different.

"Humans are so interesting." Thinking of this, Yu Youyou shook her head happily and said, "I want to wear the five-colored silk thread, too."

The Ruyi Pavilion was also filled with a bit of joy because of Yu Youyou's joyful voice. A warm current surged in the pavilion. Lu Keming looked at her quietly, and the pain in his body gradually subsided.

He softened his brows, which had always been stained with gloom, and replied softly, "Okay."

Lu Keming stood up and said to Youyou, "There is no silk thread in this boat. I will go outside to buy some."

But before he could finish his words, the sound of raindrops came from outside the boat. Lu Keming looked up and saw that the outside of the mahogany window frame had been dyed white by the fine raindrops. The raindrops hitting the river surface looked like white mist, and the faint fragrance of leaves and plants spread in the air.

The sun was shining brightly just now, but now the white walls and gray tiles outside are shrouded in mist and rain.

When did it rain?

Lu Keming frowned, and before he could express the question in his mind, he heard Yu Youyou speak.

"Exactly."

"What?" Lu Keming subconsciously looked at Yu Youyou, with a hint of confusion in his misty, cold eyes.

Yu Youyou looked at Lu Keming with a smile and explained to him: "When Ning Yue and I were having dinner today, he told me that it would rain at noon."

Lu Keming gradually frowned, looked at the rain outside, and said, "This rain is so strange."

Although it had rained during the Dragon Boat Festival in previous years, today the sky was cloudless and the sun was shining brightly. There was no sign of rain before it started, so how could it rain so suddenly?

He walked to the window and looked out through the white rain bamboo.

Under the willow tree beside the stone bridge, a woman in white was sitting on a swing, swaying gently in the drizzle.

There was some moss growing on the stone bridge beside her, and the willow branches hanging down in the rain had turned dark green. Her white dress was not wet at all in the heavy rain, and it fluttered gently like the wind.

Yu Youyou also walked to the window, looked at the woman for a while, and suddenly said, "I want to ride on the swing too!"

“No.” Lu Keming raised his hand to block Yu Youyou’s eyes and whispered, “That’s Li Yu. It will disturb your mind.”

After he finished speaking, there was some contemplation in his eyes.

This Li Yu originally only appeared on rainy days, but now it can actually disrupt the weather in the human world. The ghosts that escaped from the ghost realm have become even more powerful after arriving in the human world.
