The sun still hasn't come out, but the light outside is much brighter and the temperature is getting hotter. It makes people feel that maybe the sun will come out from behind the clouds in the afternoon.Lu You was wearing loose short-sleeves and beach pants, with tooth marks and hickey marks on his neck that could not be covered by the open neckline, and went out with Qi Zhengyun to have lunch at the restaurant near the hotel.

Fortunately, the adaptability and resilience of the young body are excellent, and I slept for a few hours in the morning. Although the symptoms of backache, backache, and leg weakness have not disappeared, and the inner secrets are still involved when I walk around, there is a strange feeling, but These symptoms have been relieved to some extent, at least he is basically able to move now, instead of being completely paralyzed on the bed and unable to lift his arms like on the first day.Lu You stopped at the entrance of the restaurant and pretended to be looking at the flowers planted in the wooden trough by the door. Qi Zhengyun smiled as if he could read the thoughts in his mind, and went to the seat to order first, and asked the waiter for a cushion , on a wooden chair.

The waiters in the restaurant were well-trained, and no one looked in Lu You's direction during the whole process.Lu You had noticed before that on this island, the employees of restaurants, hotels and docks did not have the habit of actively greeting guests and asking for their needs, and only appeared ghostly nearby when they were called.There are also very few tourists on the island. Except for the few who were lying dead in the swimming pool when he first checked into the hotel, Lu You doesn't remember meeting anyone.The restaurant was empty, and he stayed at the door for a while, picking up several pottery or wooden ornaments placed by the flower trough as decorations and looked at them one by one, during which time no one came.

Lu You suddenly felt as if he had overlooked something, but after thinking about it carefully, he had no clue.Across the potted plant with palm-like leaves at the entrance of the restaurant, Lu You saw the waiter leaving with the menu. Qi Zhengyun leaned on the back of the chair in a relaxed posture, beckoning to him, with a look on his face that could be interpreted as "beloved." Drowning" expression.Lu You walked over with a straight face, straightened the cushion on the chair as if to show that he didn't care, and then sat down slowly as if in slow motion—his waist and legs were still sore.

Qi Zhengyun sat up straight, leaned forward slightly, and folded his arms to support the edge of the table.The sun that was faintly coming out on the road broke through the already thin clouds at this moment, the restaurant window on the side of the table lit up, and the outside world, which was still somewhat dark just now, quickly changed to a bright and warm color , was a bit dazzling.The sunlight fell on Qi Zhengyun's face with the shadow of the pane, the air was extremely clean, and no flying fine dust could be seen in the light, making the light, shadow and tone of this scene look like a classical oil painting.

Lu You's heart missed a beat very disappointingly.Qi Zhengyun is wearing a minimalist round-neck T-shirt. The thin cotton is propped up on the chest and upper arms with slight muscle lines, and there is a small smile on the thin lips.Every time Lu You looked into those extremely black and deep eyes, he would have a contradictory feeling of being both inexplicably evil and irresistibly attracted.He couldn't help thinking wildly: I don't know what he looked like from the beginning to this time in Qi Zhengyun's eyes?

Qi Zhengyun tilted his head, his eyes seemed to be carefully sizing up and thinking about something.After a few seconds, he sighed softly, "The height of the dining table here is just right..." He seemed to say regretfully, "It's a pity that this is a public place."

Realizing what this person was thinking, Lu You's face darkened, and the atmosphere of excitement just now was swept away.He couldn't help stretching out his leg under the table and kicking Qi Zhengyun. He accidentally made too much of a move. After kicking, he froze, maintaining a strange expression of patience for a while.Qi Zhengyun was not so bad that he continued to tease him, with an expression as if pretending that nothing happened just now, and thoughtfully took out chopsticks and spoons from the wooden box by the table and put them on Lu You, and poured water for him from a cup.

When the first dish was served, the feeling of "forgot something" reappeared, but Lu You still didn't remember it.Moreover, the smell of grilled fish with honey was so fragrant that it seriously disturbed Lu You's thinking.He doesn't even remember what he ate these past few days, he seems to be having sex all the time... Recalling it feels like time is out of order.The only thing he remembers clearly is on his birthday, he and Qi Zhengyun ate the birthday cake together at noon, because it won't taste good if it is kept in the refrigerator.

The cake is not big and the ingredients are simple, just sponge cake, whipped cream and fresh cherries that have been pitted, but it is beautifully made, with a few rose petals as decoration, and the taste is also very good.But Lu You didn't want to recall the process of eating the cake at all... decided to strictly suppress it deep in his memory.

Lu You didn't feel hungry before, but now sitting at the table and smelling the aroma of the dishes, his stomach suddenly felt empty and tight.While eating, Lu You never forgot to be on guard against what Qi Zhengyun would do again, and flatly rejected the proposal of wine pairing.What surprised him was that Qi Zhengyun was very quiet. He didn't reach out his hand naturally until he walked past the table when he got up to pay the bill after eating, and rubbed the corner of Lu You's mouth lightly.

Lu You's first reaction was that there was something on the corner of his mouth and he didn't pay attention, and he wanted to wipe it with a tissue in some embarrassment.When Qi Zhengyun withdrew his hand, he pinched his cheek again. "Nothing." He said with a smile, "I just want to touch you."

Then Qi Zhengyun walked away briskly.Lu You sat there without moving, and unexpectedly remembered the serious expression on Qi Zhengyun's expression when he stroked his ear less than an hour ago and said to him, "From now on, we will be inseparable" and dark, deep eyes.Even though reason reminded him repeatedly: the point of those few words was obviously that Qi Zhengyun was inoculating him against possible annoying actions in the future, and it was cunning and suspicious to bring up this topic while taking advantage of the atmosphere at that time, but his mind was stubborn. He is only willing to replay and replay that sentence "intimate" repeatedly.

He scratched back and forth on the porcelain plate with the fork in his hand, making a slight "creak" sound, trying to stop the deep magnetic sound.The little sauce left on the plate was drawn into an abstract work by him. After 2 minutes, Lu You gave up. He dropped the fork, lowered his head and stared at his own reflection in the plate, which was more blurred by those lines, and believed more definitely than ever at any moment: he was completely finished.

The clouds in the sky outside were blown to and fro by the wind, and the sun disappeared and reappeared for a while.When Qi Zhengyun returned from paying the bill and walked out of the restaurant with Lu You, the sky finally cleared away the last trace of haze and cleared up completely.Lu You seemed to have some kind of psychological shadow on the hotel room, and didn't want to go back immediately, so they strolled on the beach in front of the hotel, and saw the black charcoal fire marks left by other guests' barbecues in the open air.Only this beach on the island has relatively rough sand, and the gravel is mixed with shell fragments that have been ground fine by the waves. Walking on it with bare feet will give you a slight tingling sensation.

However, there are also the most shells on this beach, whether they are shallowly buried in the sand to reveal their outlines, or are hidden deeper but are still exposed by tiny air holes, and there are also empty shells washed up by the tide without shellfish inside. .Lu You was "injured" and couldn't bend over, so he directed Qi Zhengyun to pick up those beautiful empty shells.Qi Zhengyun gladly took the order, and found it faster than Lu You, and it didn't take long for Lu You to have a pile of them in his hands, and he picked out the ones he didn't like the most and replaced them one by one.

Qi Zhengyun picked up a fragment of a shell, and the inner coating showed a wonderful color like laser light in the sun.He was considering whether to secretly get a shell with pearls inside and bury it in the sand, and then find a chance for Lu You to dig it out... Even people who don't have a special preference for jewelry should be very surprised by this, right?The coral is also very beautiful, but it is repeated with the token.A few thoughts of pleasing his partner were carelessly turning in his mind, and then he suddenly thought of something that Lu You should have cared more about.

He straightened up and turned to look at Lu You while brushing off the sand from his hands, "Will you be able to check your grades tomorrow?" He asked.

Lu You's expression was blank at first.It's not that he forgot this important matter, but he subconsciously felt that it should be a few more days... The previous crazy time completely immersed in desire confused his sense of time up.When Lu You lowered his head to count the date, Qi Zhengyun caught a glimpse of the red color that had just been pushed onto the beach by the waves from the corner of his eye.

It was a deep dark red, like the color of iron rust after being corroded by water vapor.For some reason, that color made Qi Zhengyun feel a little uncomfortable.Is it a shell, or some kind of algae in the sea?The cleanliness of the waters around here is carefully maintained, and even the garbage that floats from afar shouldn't be able to reach the shore.

The thing was washed by the next wave, and the rolled posture appeared soft.After confirming the date, Lu You let out an "ah", and then became worried again: "There seems to be no signal on the island..." Not only can't surf the Internet, but he can't even make phone calls. When he finds that he can't contact the outside world, Lu You is also a little worried. Yes, but what happened later left him with no time to think about this worry.

"We'll go to the Aquarium Museum on another island tomorrow." Qi Zhengyun said, walking towards the rust-red mass on the beach, wanting to see what it was.The thing responded faintly to his power, and seemed to be some kind of living creature. "Anyway, if you're like this...you won't be able to surf or hang gliding until tomorrow, right? Just go to the museum. There is a signal tower on that island, and you can check it online then."

Lu You puffed up his cheeks at Qi Zhengyun's word "just right". "It's not your fault..." He muttered, not daring to speak too loudly, but he miscalculated the sensitivity of Qi Zhengyun's hearing.Qi Zhengyun laughed silently, but frowned slightly when he approached the lump.

Looking closely, it looks like a peach pit that has been gnawed out of the pulp and soaked in water for a long time: a hard core, covered with a soft, greasy, and disgusting jelly, from which protruding Some slightly transparent filaments, only much longer than those on the peach pit, will

The core is messily wrapped.The rusty red that attracted Qi Zhengyun's attention from afar is not its own color, but really looks like rust—a loose structure composed of tiny flakes that are stacked and wrapped around its entire outside. And showing a soft texture.

Qi Zhengyun hoped that he had misread it, but the monster's breath became clear after the distance approached, which proved his initial guess.Although the breath became weaker than the last time I felt it, and like its appearance, there were some changes that made Qi Zhengyun feel uncomfortable, but it was indeed—that seaweed ball—that was caught by Lu You once. up in the salad bowl, and he wouldn't accept what was dumped back into the sea.

Qi Zhengyun squatted down, and at the same time slightly increased the strength of the extended contact and detection.The seaweed ball moved slightly, and Qi Zhengyun unexpectedly found that his power seemed to be absorbed a little... What's even more strange is that even though the thing moved, he didn't feel any vitality left.

So Qi Zhengyun kept an eye on it and decided not to touch it directly with his hands, but to pick it up together with the sand underneath.But before doing so, he found that the breath of the monster disappeared together with the feeling of being absorbed.The seaweed ball stopped moving at all.The "rust" covering its surface melted in the water like soil, and then its entire body; after another wave washed away, only some soft fragments were left floating in the water.

Lu You walked slowly, and only then followed.He didn't ask Qi Zhengyun why he suddenly quickened his pace without making a sound, leaving him behind, but he was interested in what attracted Qi Zhengyun. "What did you find?" He propped his hands on his knees, looking out curiously.

Qi Zhengyun has let the water flow away those debris that might cause bad effects.He wanted to keep a little bit of it and take it back to study carefully, but the rust-like thing quickly and completely melted in the water.He stared at Lu You's reflection in the water for a few seconds, then slowly stood up.

"It's just a clump of seaweed," he said lightly.
