Chapter 50: Going Out to Sea

  Tian Nuoyu leaned back on the sofa in the rest area of the yacht, quietly gazing out at the vast ocean outside.

  The yacht stopped in the central area of the sea, gently swaying with the waves. On the open deck, Lan Shengyan, Duan Liuyun, and Qiu Nianbai were standing about half a meter apart from each other, each holding a fishing rod to catch fish.

  Mù Yǔxīn and Qiū Niànwēi had both changed into sporty shorts, Mù Yǔxīn sat on the deck a short distance away from Lán Shēngyān's group, barefoot and playing in the waves, while Qiū Niànwēi quietly walked back and forth behind Lán Shēngyān's group of three, seeing who would catch fish first.

  Muyuxin and Qiu Nianwei have not gone out to sea for a long time, the two of them are like fish stranded on the shore due to lack of water and about to die, suddenly returning to the ocean, their lives were saved, excited and excited.

  The sea breeze in May still has a bit of coolness on people's skin, but the two of them didn't feel any coolness at all with their refreshing outfits.

  Today's weather is really good, the whole sky is clear and cloudless, reflecting the emerald green sea surface, as if the water and sky are merged into one, it's hard to tell where the sky ends and the water begins, everywhere is filled with bright and delightful blue.

  The warm sunshine is like a gentle and charming woman, carrying the faint smell of sea salt like a light gauze, dancing on the wave tips of the sea surface. Silver dance shoes shuttle through the sparkling waves, and the golden light splashes across the sea surface, dyeing the entire sea surface with a warm and beautiful sheen.

  Tian Nuanyu sat in the Lanzhou-Xining train when she heard Mu Yuxin and Qiu Nianwei's excited screams, she raised her head and saw a sea of faces before her eyes.

  When her gaze fell on a yacht parked by the shore, she was truly shocked.

  The yacht's volume is not too large, but its luxury is absolutely stunning.

  The yacht is all white, and its shape is not like a regular one, but rather like a whale breaching the surface of the sea with its fins spread wide. When the yacht is docked on the shore, it looks just like a whale that has breached the surface of the sea and is quietly resting on the shore.

  On board the yacht, Tian Nuoyu was even more shocked.

  On the left side of the stern deck of the yacht, there is a bar area, and on the right side, there is a dining area. On both sides of the pilot house, there are two cabins, one is a rest room and the other is a bedroom. The main deck hall is an open-style rest area with a panoramic view, with a circle of white leather sofas placed along the edges.

  At this time, Tian Nuanyu was quietly sitting on the sofa in the rest area, but her nerves were tense.

  Her gaze swept lightly over the few people on the open deck, three fishing leisurely and comfortably, Mu Yu Xing and Qiu Nian Wei excited and happy as if flying birds on the sea.

  Everyone's expression on their face is different, but everyone has a feeling that they are all enjoying this moment very much.

  Tian Nuoyu shifted her gaze back to the cabin. Although she didn't understand much, she could see that all the facilities within her line of sight were not only extravagantly luxurious but also exquisitely delicate, even a small coffee pad was astonishing.

  However, Tian Nuoyu felt no enjoyment being in such a space, her only feeling was dizziness.

  It was her first time on a boat and she found herself seasick.

  She had never taken a boat before, not because she hadn't had the opportunity, but because she was afraid of water, so she never dared to take a boat.

  If this is her weakness, then this weakness is one of her secrets.

  Only her father and mother knew that she was afraid of water, as well as the neighbor boy who threw her "Barbie" into the river.

  When she was young, she was even more wild than the boys. Climbing walls and trees were things that she could do with her eyes closed. She could be said to be fearless of heaven and earth, but for some reason, she was only afraid of water.

  At the age of three, her father began to let her practice Taekwondo. Almost every day, her body was covered with bruises, but she never cried or even shouted in pain.

  But once her father threw her into the swimming pool, she cried out loudly like a drowning person, and her body sank uncontrollably into the water. When she was pulled out of the pool, her whole body was purple, and her face was as pale as paper.

  Her father, who had always believed that all psychological fears could be overcome through exercise, reluctantly announced his abandonment of her "water training" after throwing her into the swimming pool for the tenth time. Her mother was even more doting and refused to let her get in the water again.

  From then on, she always kept a distance from rivers, lakes and such places. She also regarded her fear of water as her greatest weakness, just like guarding her own "life gate". She guarded this secret tightly, never telling anyone else, nor did others know that she was afraid of water, except for the boy next door.

  She didn't want him to know, but he and she were born on the same year, month and day, and when they were born, they were placed in the same crib. When they were young, their mothers even bought them identical clothes to wear. When she was wailing in the swimming pool, he was swimming around in the water, teasing her.

  He's really hateful, when he was six years old, it was because he saw her ignoring him after she got a "Barbie", so he threw her "Barbie" into the river, and she could only watch as her beloved "Barbie" was washed away by the river water but didn't dare to go into the water to "rescue" it back.

  After that, she began to dislike the boy next door even more, and especially water. After her mother's accident, her dislike of water escalated into hatred.

  Those distant and long-locked memories suddenly flashed back in Tian Nuan Yu's mind like an automatic unlock, her heart ached slightly, she quickly shook her head lightly, and locked them back into the depths of her memory.

  Just now when everyone else had boarded the yacht, she stood on the shore and stopped in her tracks. When she saw Lán Shēng Yān turn his head to look at her, she had no choice but to board the yacht with a forced expression.

  After getting on the yacht, Lan Shengyan carefully took her to a pool in the dining area and asked her to wash her hands. She spread out her palms and only then discovered that the handkerchief Lan Shengyan had given her to wipe her hands with was still tightly clutched in her own hand. Because she had grasped it too tightly, the handkerchief was full of wrinkles, and the grease stains on her hands had all been transferred onto the handkerchief. The originally clean handkerchief had become dirty and crumpled.

  She somewhat embarrassedly told Lán Shēngyān to go wash it clean and then return it to him, but Lán Shēngyān lightly laughed and gave her an indifferent expression before turning around and going to the open-air deck.

  She refolded her handkerchief and put it back in the pocket of her jeans, washed her hands clean, and then came to the rest area, sitting down on the sofa.

  Sitting here, although everything in sight is seawater, the yacht underfoot is also swaying gently, but at least it feels much safer than being on the open deck.

  No one came to greet her and she sincerely hoped they wouldn't come to bother her, just let her sit like this until they disembarked.

  But the more she didn't want it to happen, the more it happened.
