C3066 Prepare to Set Off!(4)
The girl beside her stretched out her hand and gently stroked her hair. Niu Niu also smiled at him.
"Alright, let's go back early tonight and prepare for tomorrow. The journey will be dangerous, but we will have to endure it. Let's be mentally prepared and hope that we can return safely."
Faang Cheng stood up and pulled Yuan Yue, who was beside him, to his room.
Everyone had something to do, say, and tell the others before they left. They were still in a state of confusion. No one dared to say that they would be able to return unscathed. Therefore, they had to say what they wanted to say and do what they wanted to do.
Little Four walked out of the main hall and saw Zhou Zhiqing sitting on a stone bench in the yard. She was quietly and motionless. It was obvious that she was waiting for him.
"Zhiqing!"
Little Four walked over.
"Are you done with the meeting? Is there anything else?"
Zhiqing immediately stood up and smiled at Little Four.
Little Four could see a trace of worry and reluctance in her eyes, but she quickly wiped it away. It was obvious that she didn't want Little Four to see it.
"No, let's go and take a walk!"
Little Four grabbed Zhou Zhiqing's hand and walked towards the gates of the Fang Residence.
"Hmm? Are you not going back to prepare something? You still have to wake up early tomorrow!"
Zhou Zhiqing looked at Little Four in surprise. It was obvious that she did not expect Little Four to bring her out even though it was already dark.
"I've already packed everything. I'll just come back to collect it tomorrow morning."
Little Four said indifferently.
"W-what? Tomorrow morning to collect it? Are you planning to not come back for the whole night?"
Zhou Zhiqing widened her eyes and looked at Little Four in disbelief.
Seeing Zhou Zhiqing's expression, Little Four immediately smiled helplessly. He hurriedly waved his hand at Zhou Zhiqing with an awkward expression.
"No, don't think about it. I don't mean anything else. I just... just want to take you to the ship to see the sunrise. We know each other in the sea, so... the most romantic date location is on the sea. So, I rented a wooden boat and thought that we could stay on the boat for the whole night, chat, drink tea, and look at the stars. When you're tired, I can wake you up to watch the sunrise. It feels very romantic!"
Little Four made it clear that he and Zhou Zhiqing's date was arranged by him and Zhou Zhiqing. It was obvious that Little Four had put in a lot of effort.
“But… I really thought too little. I forgot that you’re a girl. It’s not very appropriate for you to spend the night with a man outside at such a late hour. Otherwise… we can just chat in the yard, drink some tea, and watch the stars. It’s very romantic…”
Before Little Four could finish, Zhou Zhiqing pulled his hand and walked toward the door with big strides.
“What girl? There’s no girl here. There’s only an old lady who’s almost a thousand years old. I can live for a thousand years under the sea, so what’s there to be afraid of? Besides, there are so many people in our family. Who would talk about us? If it was someone outside who was talking about me and my rumors, I wouldn’t care. I don’t know them, so there’s no need to be angry for them!”
Zhou Zhiqing said this to Little Four as she walked. Little Four was completely convinced by her words.
She was right. As someone who had lived under the sea for nearly a thousand years, she was open-minded and broad-minded. Zhou Zhiqing was right. She had survived for so many years under the sea, so what small rumors could be worth her concern?
“You’re right. Life is hard, and it’s not easy to live. We can’t completely care about the people we care about. How can we have time to care about others? We just want to live ourselves. No one can use any method to trap us or restrain us!”
Little Four smiled and said loudly.
The two of them held hands and rushed out of the Fang Residence's main gate, heading towards the seaside.
"Young people are good!"
Faang Cheng and Yuan Yue held hands and sat on the roof of a two-story pavilion at the highest point of the Fang Residence. They watched Little Four and Zhou Zhiqing gradually leave.
Faang Cheng turned to look at Yuan Yue with an uncontrollable smile on his face.
"You are also very young! If you want to go out for a night stroll, then let's go as well! I'm mainly worried that you won't be able to rest well tonight. Tomorrow, when we set off to the Myriad God Mountain, we will feel very tired."
Faang Cheng held Yuan Yue's hand and said softly to him.
"Hahaha, you're still young! If you have such thoughts, it means that you are not young anymore. Who cares about tomorrow's matters for young people? It's always the same. Those who don't dare to show off or mess around because they have to do something the next day are all middle-aged people. So... we are all middle-aged people! Sigh..."
Yuan Yue let out a long sigh and continued to look in the direction where Little Four and Zhou Zhiqing had left.
"Although Zhiqing has indeed stayed at the bottom of the sea for so many years, in reality, those years were no different from a standstill for her. She doesn't have a family at the bottom of the sea, nor does she need to socialize. His and her age growth is actually very slow. It can even be said that she doesn't have any sense of age growth at all. So even though she has lived for so many years, she still looks like a young and energetic girl!"
Yuan Yue sighed.
Faang Cheng thought she was old, so she had to sigh.
"You don't have to be envious of Zhi Qing. You are also a young girl now, and not just now. To me, you are a young girl in every moment of the future. Your personality, appearance, and thoughts are very young."
Faang Cheng was not complimenting her. He did think so in his heart.
"Haha, you're wrong!"
Hearing Faang Cheng's words, Yuan Yue immediately shook her head with a laugh.
"My thoughts are very young, because I was exactly the same as you. I was thinking that I would be very uncomfortable if I went out so late and played for the whole night. I would rather go back and sleep for a while! Hahaha …"
Hearing Faang Cheng's words made Yuan Yue laugh.
Faang Cheng was stunned for a moment when he heard Yuan Yue's words, but he immediately realized that Yuan Yue had just said that her thoughts were proof of her aging mentality. But in fact, Yuan Yue also thought so in her heart.
