Qi Zhengyun felt that Lu You's behavior was weird and seemed familiar.He tried to remember all the way to the restaurant, and finally remembered the source of this familiarity.

I am full of tension at the critical moment when I have to rely on my own performance to determine my destiny, but I am looking forward to being able to unload the burden of my mind after that, so I frequently swing back and forth between these two states-isn’t this just a graduate class before the college entrance examination? What is the status of the students?

However, Lu You has already passed the self-enrollment process. As long as there are no major accidents such as missing the exam, even if he performs abnormally, it will not have any impact on the admission result. The hurdle has passed, so that he looks more nervous now than before... But if it is because the results will be announced in two days, Qi Zhengyun thinks it is not.

——Otherwise, Lu You should have become anxious when he found out that there was no signal on the island and he couldn't connect to the Internet.

Since the chances of being able to stay with Lu You in a human form have increased, Qi Zhengyun is not as able to monitor Lu You's movements all the time as he was at first.Firstly, they basically get along with each other in public places, and he can’t sneak around in a corner where no one is around and switch his form every time just because Lu You temporarily leaves his side; secondly, “surveillance” is not a good word after all. , he had to control himself enough was enough.

Qi Zhengyun was a little curious about the things that troubled Lu You.He might have missed some of Lu You's preparations, otherwise he would have guessed what he was planning.It may also be that Lu You is just struggling in his heart and hasn't started to act yet...

Or did Lu You not really like this trip, just pretending to be happy because he was afraid of disappointing him?The man who had been in a good mood until just now suddenly felt a little worried, and became uncertain about the vacation plan that he thought was safe before coming.Qi Zhengyun looked at Lu You's expression in the dim light specially set up in the restaurant to create an atmosphere, to determine whether he really liked it here.

Lu You was looked even stiffer.Qi Zhengyun seemed to think that his gaze was very concealed, but to him, the man's gaze on his face carried a scorching temperature far exceeding body temperature.When Lu You picked up the spoon, he secretly used the reflective metal surface as a mirror to take a picture. Even though the image was distorted and blurred, he still unreasonably decided that he must have blushed very obviously.Fortunately, there was a cool and humid wind blowing from the sea in bursts, which relieved the hotness on his cheeks that seemed to be burning.

Lu You barely tasted the first few dishes that were served. Fortunately, the restaurant waiter came to talk to Qi Zhengyun. It seemed that there was something wrong with one of the dishes he ordered before. Qi Zhengyun's attention was taken away from him. He was finally freed from the endless loop of "the more tense, the more attention-grabbing".When Qi Zhengyun re-determined the next menu, he turned his head and saw that Lu You seemed to have finally regained his composure, and was studying a kind of seashell meat in the soup with a wonderful pink color with an inquiring expression. Lu You's taste preference is still very sure, and the dishes for dinner are all dishes that Lu You will definitely like.

After that, the atmosphere of the dinner gradually returned to normal—if one ignores the ambiguous atmosphere created by the lights and candlelight on the table.Lu You tried hard to stop the disobedient running thoughts in his head, and let himself focus on the dishes served in front of him.

The sea fish that is caught and sent directly to the kitchen is extremely fresh, with only a thin layer of seasoning baked, the skin of the fish is dry and crispy, and the white fish is still tender and sweet; unknown types of shellfish and sea vegetables The boiled soup is clear and has a rich creamy taste.There is also a kind of dipping sauce in a small dish, the color and texture are like red clay, it smells suspiciously fishy, ​​but the taste is unbelievably delicious...

At first, Lu You tasted it seriously because he wanted to divert his attention. It didn't take long for him to really immerse himself in the strong sense of happiness that food can bring to people.Qi Zhengyun occasionally briefly introduced the ingredients and helped to divide a whole portion of food. In his hands, the table knife skillfully separated the skin and meat, bones and fascia, or completely stripped the translucent bones of sea fish, with ease. It's like doing some kind of artistic creation.

He himself ate carelessly.The "appetite" that he possesses is similar to that of human beings. As a monster, he prefers to hunt and kill prey himself, and even swallows it alive. As a "god", what he asks for is the soul of the sacrifice.Therefore, in his eyes, what can most arouse his appetite is not the dishes on the table, but the person sitting opposite——

satiated.reproduce.In order to no longer feel lonely in body and mind, they are entangled and united with each other.They are the most primitive, strong and pure desires.Qi Zhengyun picked up a crispy fried fish, bit it slowly between his teeth, and watched Lu Youzai carefully peel off the hard shell of a lobster—he did not try to use a knife and fork, but directly I just got started - I was so hot that I put my fingertips in my mouth several times in the process, and finally peeled off the firm meat in the shrimp tail, and my eyes squinted after eating.

This feeling of smooth feeding made Qi Zhengyun feel good.He likes to see Lu You's mouth stuffed and busy chewing.It's unrestrained in front of him, and it's cute when you lick the sauce off your fingers... The wind blows from the sea in bursts, and the jellyfish float in the shallow water that is still warm, hiding in the salty and humid sea breeze. The restless information of countless little creatures.Qi Zhengyun swallowed lightly, feeling that the hunger that had never been satisfied since he came to this world became particularly intense at this moment.

I don't know whether to call it luck or regret, but the long-term social life has degraded some aspects of human perception very slowly, and Lu You didn't realize it.Something else caught his attention: what seemed to be an undulating twilight outside the window.

At first Lu You thought it was some kind of decorative lamp on the beach.The light was clusters of tiny dots, mostly shades of fluorescent blue, with a few spots of deeper purple and a particularly bright yellow.Through the hollows of the wooden windows, the light undulates and flickers like breathing, and the changes in color and light and shade form waves, like neon lights in a busy city—but much more dreamy than the abruptly changing neon lights.When Lu You noticed it, there was only a small piece of light, and he didn't pay much attention to it; but while it was "breathing", it spread to both sides and further away, and it spread out into a whole in a blink of an eye. Blockbuster.

Even the stars are dimmed.There is basically no large-scale outdoor lighting on the island. The stars in the sky are very obvious in the evening. The moon is very low these days. After dark, there is a bright and pure Milky Way across the sky.But now, the light of the stars was taken away by that expanse of fluorescence.It was also at this time that Lu You realized: just being in the sea...

Qi Zhengyun also saw it. "It's a jellyfish." He said with some surprise.

The last dessert of the dinner had just arrived, ice cream in a coconut shell.Lu You didn't have time to sit at the table and taste it, so he hurried out to have a look with it in his hand.Qi Zhengyun followed Lu You, and stepped onto the sandy beach that had been swallowed up by the rising tide.Fluorescent jellyfish swarms are densely suspended in the water, hardly needing to swim by themselves. The surging waves push their bodies, and the flickering light spots on the jellyfish tentacles float with the waves.

Lu You stared blankly at this scene, not even noticing that the melted ice cream overflowed onto his hand. "It's beautiful..." he murmured.

After a while, he said again: "I don't want to go swimming in the sea tomorrow."

Qi Zhengyun was amused by the subtle disgust in Lu You's tone.The fluorescence of the jellyfish suddenly became brighter, as if they were also infected by some kind of emotion.Qi Zhengyun has guessed the reason for this abnormal phenomenon: just like the ocean affects him, he is also affecting the ocean and the creatures in the sea.Although this world is a foreign land where there is no "God", and his power has been greatly weakened by various factors, this two-way influence still exists.

The little jellyfish didn't have much complicated thinking, and responded to him instinctively like responding to the tide.

...what does this mean?Qi Zhengyun thought to himself, does it mean that he is in a good mood tonight?Excited?Or simply say that they are in heat like them?

The tentacles of the jellyfish swayed softly, scattering bits and pieces of light in the water.A soft, ever-expanding net spread out on the sea.Their light dimmed slightly again, confused by the extremely complex emotional information conveyed by the tide.Qi Zhengyun is only thankful that Lu You can't understand what the jellyfish fluorescence is expressing. The magnificent scene in front of him... Even if he was not much different from this group of bad-minded and shameless sea creatures, he still feels a little embarrassed now .

In any case, the original plan to go to the observatory at night was ruined.Qi Zhengyun didn't find a chance to let his tentacles out to breathe—the shallow water was full of jellyfish, and it was so bright that he didn't need a light to see the faces of people around him.They had no choice but to continue to walk on the beach with the sea breeze blowing like in the daytime, watching the lively and lively crowd of those translucent little things in the sea gather together for the annual reproductive carnival.

Lu You picked up a snail shell inhabited by a hermit crab and put it on the palm of his hand. The crab's wobbling feet tickled his palm.He played with it for a while, and put it on the wet sand before leaving the beach. A wave rolled back and forth, and the hermit crab stretched out its feet from the shell, and hurriedly chased the edge of the rapidly away wave into the sea. .

They set off from the airport early this morning. They spent more than ten hours on the road and didn't take much rest afterwards. Once the excitement or nervousness subsided, Lu You started to feel sleepy again soon.Qi Zhengyun hadn't planned any activities this evening, so he decided to go back to the hotel after a walk.

The front desk was still empty. Lu You remembered the problem of not being able to connect to the wireless network, so he flipped through the brochures on the table. There were only photos of food and scenery, and introductions to sea sports such as paragliding and surfing.When I returned to the room, I found that the flowers in the vase on the small table in the living room had been changed, and there were two cans of beer and a snack platter next to it.The sheets on the bed that had been wrinkled by Lu You had been re-flattened, and the wooden floor that had been covered with sea sand before had been wiped clean.

The waiters in the hotel were really elusive... Lu You thought again of the guests he saw at the door in the evening, but they didn't show up again, whether they were in the room or went to another restaurant.No one drank beer, so it was put in the refrigerator; the potato chips in the snack platter were freshly fried and sprinkled with barbecue powder. Swim more and try all the sea sports in the brochure, otherwise he will probably gain a lot of weight on the return trip.

Qi Zhengyun found a box of cards in the living room, which was made of thin wood and shell inlays. Each card had a different abstract pattern, and the instruction manual was still in local characters that Lu You could not understand.The sound of waves echoing outside the window was quite hypnotic. Lu You finally understood the rules of the game relying on Qi Zhengyun's translation. After playing for a long time, he started yawning. Qi Zhengyun inhumanely took all the cards in just 5 minutes.

Lu You decisively lost and ran away, saying that he was going to sleep.He put the mobile phone next to the bathtub when he set it up, and took a comfortable soak in the hot bath for half an hour, although half of the time was spent playing with the various water flow functions of the bathtub.When he got out of the shower, Lu You was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. When he passed by the door, he saw Qi Zhengyun sitting at the table, said good night to the man in a daze, and went back to the bedroom and fell into the bed. .

Lu You fell asleep almost as soon as he touched the bed, without worrying about tomorrow's plan at all.When I opened my eyes again, it was already bright outside the window of the room. Before going to bed, I remembered that the drawn curtains were halfway drawn for some reason, and were gently moved by the sea breeze.Lu You sat up, staring blankly at the sheet that was still flat because he had slept soundly all night, his posture didn't change much, and he picked up the phone next to the pillow and glanced at the date.

The mind slowly returned to function.

Then Lu You became nervous again.

The door of the room is closed, and there is no movement outside the door. Qi Zhengyun may have gone out, or he may not have woken up yet.Lu You carefully opened the drawer of the bedside table and took a look like a thief. After making sure that the bottle of lubricating fluid was still inside, he quickly closed it again.I don't know if there are also in Qi Zhengyun's room... No, no, no, don't think about it—at least don't start thinking about it so early.Lu You didn't want to be as stiff as last night all day today. Qi Zhengyun is very sensitive to emotional changes, and he might be able to spot it.

... Lu You is most nervous about this kind of sensitivity.To be precise, what he was afraid of was not being found out, but Qi Zhengyun had already found out, but chose to play dumb.Lu You was not at all confident in his ability to hide his thoughts in front of Qi Zhengyun. He often felt that Qi Zhengyun looked at him as if he were reading a book that was spread out and flipped through at will.If Qi Zhengyun actually knew what he was thinking, in Lu You's eyes, that nonchalant attitude was almost equivalent to saying "not accept".

It's still so kind to him if you don't accept it... Lu You muttered in his heart, unreasonably pushing all the faults on Qi Zhengyun's head, feeling a little more relaxed.In order to relax, he got out of bed and walked to the window, pushed the remaining glass window open, and took a deep breath into the light blue sea water that was close at hand.The sea breeze was wet, and there were no obstacles blocking the line of sight. It felt as if the chest was opened, and there was an urge to shout to the vast sea.

The sound of water stirring in my ears constantly.Lu You stood by the window for several minutes, and when he was about to turn around to wash his face, he realized something was wrong.It didn't seem to be just the sound of ocean waves... He stuck his head out of the window sill suspiciously, searched his eyes several times, and finally saw a group of light green objects on the side of the plank road that stretched out into the sea close to the water surface. Seaweed, something that is struggling to not want to be washed away by the current.
