Become a cat [Zhan Zhao]

When Ah Lan woke up in a daze, it seemed that the sky had already brightened, and soft golden light came in through the cracks in the cabin wall.The rhythm of the hull swaying with the waves is already habitual at this time, so it loses its sense of existence.Only the sharp chirping of seabirds still pierces the silence tirelessly.Alan opened his eyes in a daze, and the first thing he saw was He Zhou's strong back—at least for a little boy, it was strong enough.There are actually some muscles on his body, although they don't contain incredible strength like Zhan Zhao, but they are still quite amazing.It was as if He Zhou was one of those legendary dwarves.

"Ah, you're awake." He Zhou seemed to have eyes on his back, and said without turning his head, "Sister and your companion are outside." He said the word "companion" in a slightly different tone, As if expressing dislike for someone in some way.

A Lan propped up her upper body, still a little sleepy, she said vaguely, "What time is it?"

"I don't know, my sister said it's not yet noon." He Zhou buried his head and didn't know what he was doing. Alan tilted his head and saw that he was holding a few pieces of hay in his hand, as if he was weaving something.

The air in the cabin was a bit stuffy, and the damp and cold feeling made people uncomfortable.A Lan just woke up and couldn't help sneezing. She covered her mouth and yawned, and suggested, "Let's go, let's go out to get some air."

"You go." He Zhou was fiddling with the hay quickly with his hands, and his thick fingers inserted a bunch of hay back and forth with a dexterity that didn't match his appearance, "I just got a little dizzy from the sun, so I just entered the cabin of."

A Lan then nodded, she could vaguely see that what He Zhou had made was a straw rabbit with very long ears.He Lian's chatter and laughter could be vaguely heard outside, and A Lan quickly opened the curtain and got out of the cabin.

The sunlight outside was very dazzling, completely different from the pale golden light blocked by the cabin.The fog of last night seemed to have lifted completely, the sky was a transparent blue, while the sea remained deep.

Ah Lan had to squint her eyes, and saw Zhan Zhao still sitting at the stern from under her eyelids, while He Lian was leaning on the side of the boat and laughing heartily.She threw her oars aside, and seemed perfectly at ease with letting the fishing boat go with the wind.This scene made Ah Lan feel a little frustrated for no reason.She straightened up, stepped on the deck carefully and walked over, and said loudly, "Sister He Lian, are you not rowing?"

"It's okay." He Lian smiled and waved her hands, "I don't need to detour for this part of the road, and it's just for me to take a rest."

Alan sat down beside Zhan Zhao.Probably occupying a favorable terrain, so I feel more relieved, then nodded to He Lian and said: "It is said, sister must be very tired after paddling all night?"

"It's okay." He Lian looked at A Lan with a smile. She kept watching A Lan's ears start to burn. It doesn't matter a few days or nights."

A Lan scratched her cheek, and suddenly felt that the emotion that suddenly rose in her heart just now was really inexplicable.She smiled at He Lian, with a sense of apology she didn't realize, and asked, "Are we almost there?"

"It's less than half of the journey." He Lian replied straightforwardly, "It's very early."

Alan nodded, propped his chin to look at Zhan Zhao beside him.Zhan Zhao listened for a long time, and saw that Ah Lan finally looked towards him, so he reached out and patted her on the head, and asked with a smile, "Are you awake?"

"Yeah." A Lan rubbed her nose, a little embarrassed, "Why do you get up so early?"

Zhan Zhao said lightly, "I'm used to it." He actually had something on his mind, although it didn't show on his face, there was still a bit of seriousness between his brows.The conversation with He Lian last night seemed to make him understand that this trip might not be easy.However, there is no turning back when the bow is opened, and Zhan Zhao can only respond to changes with the same.

What's more, he is actually looking forward to the danger that awaits him on the road ahead.

Naturally, Ah Lan would not know what Zhan Zhao was thinking.She got close to Zhan Zhao largely by relying on an instinct, desperately getting close to the only person who treated her kindly.In her simple mind, she probably hasn't realized that this instinct is due to her affection for Zhan Zhao.Although this feeling is hazy and unclear, who can know what it will develop into in the future?

The air was still cold and smelled of salt, so it was fishy.From time to time, seagulls glided by the side of the ship, their slate gray wings stretched out in graceful arcs, and their white heads and necks made them look noble and beautiful.As far as Alan can see, in this vast world, the sky seems to be docile and docile, while the sea is always restless.

In reality, navigating the seas is far less fun than it sounds.Drifting on the boundless sea for a long time, losing direction and support, it is easy to cause a sense of confusion.A Lan honestly sat on the deck for a while, listening to Zhan Zhao whispering the cultural lessons she had left before.But He Lian returned to the stern and started to use the oars again.

Such a behavior pattern is obviously not conducive to passing the time, it is difficult for Ah Lan to concentrate on listening to Zhan Zhao's boring classics.From time to time, she would feel a trance, although her eyes were still on Zhan Zhao's face, but her mind was far away from what she heard in her ears.She recalled the first days in that valley, when Zhan Zhao had just accepted her, his attitude was ambiguous and unpredictable.On the one hand, Ah Lan felt flattered, but on the other hand, it was difficult to suppress the uneasiness in her heart.

She is still young, and she can't even be called the first love, but she has chased all the way here with her dedication to Zhan Zhao, which is indeed amazing.To this day, Ah Lan can still think of the dream she once had from time to time, and she was fascinated by the deep feelings that the guard named "Chen Zui" had for the so-called "Princess".Sometimes Ah Lan secretly looks forward to it in her heart, hoping that someone can fall in love with her in such a deep, strong, loyal, and unrequited way.

——However, this person will probably never be Zhan Zhao.

Alan was extremely frustrated with the conclusion she had come to. She had hidden some kind of extravagant hope that she could get closer to this man who was different from her.This may seem like a kind of irony, although Ah Lan is not sure about his feelings for Zhan Zhao, but he hopes that the other party will return a deeper enthusiasm.However, Zhan Zhao always treats A Lan as a child, which makes her feel frustrated.She didn't know what to do to please him, or rather, she didn't know what to do to please his "that" kind of favor.Because as long as he can read and memorize faster, and be smarter when practicing martial arts, Ah Lan can indeed win Zhan Zhao's favor.However, that kind of favor is not the kind that Ah Lan expected more.

She should be content, shouldn't she?Alan often thinks so.But the warnings of conscience are sometimes not accepted smoothly, and she still has unrealistic expectations and ambitions, but she still knows nothing about the means to achieve her goals.

In all fairness, Zhan Zhao is not a difficult person to get along with - if you just want to get along with him in peace.Although he has a cold attitude, he never loses his manners, even when he treats "his own people" like Alan.He often spoke with a mocking tone, when A Lan did something stupid, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but teach her a lesson, or make some sarcastic remarks.But he is equally frank and straightforward, teaching Alan everything - of course, Alan still doesn't understand the things that are too difficult.But if A Lan needs it, Zhan Zhao has no reservations.

However, Zhan Zhao is not someone who is easy to get close to.He is arrogant by nature, and he became famous as a young man, so even if his attitude is modest, it will not make him approachable.What's more, the process of Ah Lan getting to know Zhan Zhao is special, she is neither Zhan Zhao's friend nor Zhan Zhao's relative, and the first meeting between the two is full of drama.To a certain extent, Zhan Zhao has no scruples in front of Ah Lan. He doesn't have to be as kind and polite as he is with friends, nor as gentle and distant as he is with ordinary women.He generously classified Alan as "one of my own" but cruelly pushed her down to the status of "junior". Therefore, his attitude was as intimate and unscrupulous as being "one of my own" but also as "one of my own". Juniors" sense of distance.This often makes A Lan feel distressed.

Alan rested her chin and couldn't help sighing.Then she heard Zhan Zhao say calmly from the side: "Do you remember what I said just now?"

"Ah?" Alan turned around abruptly, her face flushed because of her long trance.When she met Shang Zhanzhao's gaze, she felt that there was nothing to hide under the other's gaze, and she asked dazedly, "What?"

Zhan Zhao sneered, rolled up the thin book in his hand and tapped it on Alan's head, and asked, "What are you thinking about?" , eyes straightened.Zhan Zhao did not feel a sense of crisis as a girl who had grown up, and his ignorance of A Lan's inner activities made him a little at a loss.

"No, it's nothing." Of course Ah Lan didn't dare to tell Zhan Zhao just those outrageous thoughts.She looked at Zhan Zhao in a stunned voice, and said apologetically, "I was distracted for a while, and I didn't hear what you said."

Zhan Zhao glanced at He Lian who was paddling not far away, looking at this side with a half-smile, lowered his voice and approached A Lan and asked, "What I'm talking about is too boring, isn't it?"

"Ah, no!" Ah Lan replied in fear, and then saw Zhan Zhao's teasing eyes.He rubbed A Lan's hair vigorously with a smile, and said seriously: "Don't always show such a scared look, as if I will eat you. Isn't it just distracted, what's the matter, at most, you will suffer Hold on, what are you afraid of?"

Alan let out a "huh?", caught the key words "bear the board", and couldn't help shrinking her neck.

Zhan Zhao finally burst out laughing.He threw the book aside casually, and said, "Forget it, there's no need to read these things, it's not interesting. Let's talk."

"Say, what are you talking about?" Ah Lan hadn't recovered yet, subconsciously thinking that Zhan Zhao was going to talk to her again, so she couldn't help resisting.

However, Zhan Zhao sincerely wants to gossip with Alan, he never had such a need before, but recently this kind of impulse drives him from time to time.Zhan Zhao decided to conform to his heart, looked down at A Lan, and said casually, "Just tell me what you were thinking just now, I see that you are full of thoughts, and you don't look like a child anymore..."

Alan retorted instinctively: "I'm not a child in the first place." She bit her lip, thinking, I'm going to be old soon.

"Okay, okay, okay, not a child." Zhan Zhao quite understood A Lan's thinking, and he often said this sentence when he was a child.

Alan fell silent.

"So, what were you thinking just now?" Zhan Zhao tentatively asked calmly, trying to make himself look more casual, instead of deliberately spying on the weirdness in other people's hearts.

Alan squeezed her fingers in a tangled state, and said in embarrassment: "Can't you just say something else?"

"Huh?" Zhan Zhao became more interested in A Lan's thoughts, "You really can't tell me?"

Alan shook her head slightly, then raised her head anxiously to look at Zhan Zhao.Zhan Zhao noticed Alan's cautiousness, and immediately put on an expression of indifference, and said, "Let's talk about something else..."

Then he choked, and suddenly realized that he couldn't think of anything to talk about for a while.He stuttered for a long time, and asked in a strange way: "What happened in the Mo family martial arts school back then?"

The author has something to say: Is this an emotional drama?
