Fortunately, the next day's activity was quite simple—just sea fishing and diving.
Apart from the overly strong sun that made it hard to keep their eyes open, it was a bit of a trial.
Their group had two boats in total, and just their own bunch occupied one. They each received a simple fishing line from the captain. They had expected it to be the kind of impressive fishing rod from movies that could cast out over ten meters, but what they actually got was a very long line wound around a bottle... (╯▽╰)╭.
Cousin had gotten familiar with them by now, and they were all teasing each other. He didn’t really understand the prowess of these Two-dimensional world legends and just treated them as ordinary friends. By the end, he was even enthusiastically talking about Sword Three. As for Dong Yiru, faced with her Favorite Voice Actor Qiang Qingci and her favorite coser Mu Mu, she remained reserved the entire time, wearing an expression of having too much gossip to process...
Everyone sat on the wooden planks on either side of the boat, wearing life jackets, their feet soaking in the seawater, lazily shaking their fishing lines.
Gu Sheng and Top talent sat at the stern. She held her bottle and soon felt a tug on the line: "I think a fish bit?"
"Can you feel it?" He glanced at the line in her hand—it was indeed taut.
"Yeah..."
In an instant, her face flushed.
He had asked that same question that afternoon T.T... Why did she remember it now...
Mo Qingcheng didn’t notice, though. He just reached over to help her tease the fish, tugging the line a little and then letting it go. Watching his profile and the slight upward curve of his eyes... she got distracted for a moment, and the straw hat shielding her from the sun was blown away by the wind. She instinctively reached for it but missed, and she wobbled, nearly falling into the sea. Luckily, he grabbed her life jacket with one hand. By the time the straw hat landed in the water, she realized she had just made a very dangerous move.
And her fish had gotten away, with the fishing line tangled around her calf T.T...
Gu Sheng pulled her foot out of the water, placing it on the wooden plank she was sitting on, and tried to untangle the line. The thin line was wrapped several times and even had knots. Plus, the sun was so bright she could barely keep her eyes open... It was truly a series of misfortunes...
"Don’t pull too hard. Let me help you untangle it," he said, his hand already reaching over. But after fiddling with it for a few moments, he chuckled. "Why do I always end up helping you untangle things? The first time it was your hair, the second time it was still your hair. This time is better—at least it’s a fishing line."
...
Why was her face burning again...
Gu Sheng, what are you thinking? Why do you always recall those inappropriate scenes T.T...
"What are you thinking about?" His voice was low, with a teasing lilt at the end.
"Nothing..." she replied awkwardly, pulling her foot back slightly, trying to escape his fingers.
He saw right through her... How embarrassing...
"The boatman fished your hat out of the water, Sheng Sheng," Mo Bai called out, holding Gu Sheng’s dripping straw hat as he suddenly poked his head out from the cabin. He immediately spotted Top talent holding her calf and grinned. "You two at the stern should be careful. If you get too carried away, you might fall into the sea..."
...
Mo Bai’s loud remark made everyone else unhappy.
They had all been secretly enjoying the show, okay?
Now that he’d scared them off, there was a good chance they wouldn’t get to see anything more...Seasick to the point of almost wanting to jump into the sea to end it all, Mu Mu also weakly muttered, "Some people get seasick to death, while others flirt at the stern. We're all in professions that save lives and accumulate virtue, so why is the difference so great? Heaven is so unfair..."
Only the tour guide stood at the bow, taking off his sunglasses and waving his hand. "I say, why do you all love to watch that young couple? What's so special about it? It's been half an hour, and no one has caught a fish yet. That's really pathetic—the worst record since I started leading tours."
As soon as the tour guide finished speaking, he immediately received a glare from Dong Yiru that felt like a flying dagger.
What's so special about it?!
It's incredibly special, okay?!!!! Don't disturb this obsessed fan from watching her Favorite Voice Actor flirt, okay?!!!!
Feeling a chill down his spine, the tour guide continued urging everyone to fish.
Meanwhile, the line had already been untangled.
While the captain placed Gu Sheng's hat on the roof of the boat to dry, the Top talent suddenly shushed everyone and handed the plastic bottle wrapped with fishing line to Gu Sheng. Before she could react, she saw the Top talent pull up a brightly colored sea fish with the fishing line. Under the sunlight, it kept flipping its tail, shimmering with water droplets.
"Ah, we caught one," she exclaimed in delight.
"Who? Who caught it?" The tour guide excitedly pulled out his camera and rushed toward the stern, immediately saying to Gu Sheng, "Quick, strike a pose. I want to take a photo of the first beauty who caught a fish."
Gu Sheng held up the fish, but before she could explain, she was already declared the first one.
The Top talent smiled faintly, not minding who was first.
In this vast world, making his wife happy is what matters most~
After half an hour of effort, it was finally someone at the stern who caught a fish. Like an auspicious start, within ten minutes, one after another, people kept pulling up various kinds of sea fish and throwing them into a bucket in the cabin. In no time, over a dozen fish were gathered. Mo Bai excitedly took photos of the bucket for a long time, and when it was time to return to shore, he reluctantly released all the fish back into the sea.
Without the straw hat to shield her, Gu Sheng’s face was clearly sunburned.
Back in her hotel room, she looked at her reddened face in the mirror with dismay. This time, it wasn’t flushed from embarrassment but genuinely sunburned, and it wouldn’t fade no matter what.
After thinking it over for a long time, she decided to give up on going out to play again.
She needed to rest for half a day, yes.
Geng Xiaoxing had gone off with Jue Mei to hunt for delicious food somewhere. While waiting for the Top talent to finish showering, Gu Sheng idly browsed the internet on her phone in her room but couldn’t get any signal. Finally, she took her key card, closed the door, and sat on the sofa in the lobby on the fourth floor, where she finally found a signal.
A man and a woman sitting on the sofa with her were also holding their phones, all searching for Wi-Fi.
Unexpectedly, when she opened her long-unused Weibo, the first friend update she saw was from Mo Bai:
Deep-sea fishing, someone’s wife took the lead, an auspicious start indeed. Over a dozen fish in just a short while. Haha.
The accompanying photo was naturally the fish he had just taken.
The wording was subtle.
But precisely because it was subtle, it was too easy to guess who it was, okay...
The most ruthless part was... all the people who had secretly been watching earlier had, without exception, liked the post. With so many likes from people around the Top talent, even a fool would know who this "someone" was...
Qiang Qingci remained Qiang Qingci.
Even when you’re not in the world, the world still has legends about you.No more online voice acting? It doesn’t affect the fans’ love at all… Just occasional bits of news are enough to satisfy everyone… So besides Mo Bai’s fans, Top talent’s fans immediately showed up, leaving very, very excited comments:
“Please share a photo of someone’s back!”
“Mo Bai, please post more Weibo updates about someone_”
“Please, someone’s recent situation!!!!”
“Everyone above is so reserved… Could it be that our Top talent had a flash marriage and is on his honeymoon?! Please reply!!!!”
…
Flash marriage…
Honeymoon…
She covered her face, feeling a bit of pain—probably from getting too emotional…
While still lamenting her sunburned face and the reactions sparked by Mo Bai’s Weibo post, someone leaned down beside her. Mo Qingcheng, who had just finished showering, with his hair still dripping, leaned close and asked, “Want to take a nap?”
“A nap? Shouldn’t we eat first?” Holding her phone, she didn’t quite follow the logic.
The next second, Top talent picked her up entirely and, right in front of the man and woman still holding their phones searching for a signal, carried her back to the room without a hint of shame.
The man and woman glanced sideways. Although half-naked sunbathing, bikinis, and passionate moments under the sun or moonlight were common, this wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. Still, they couldn’t help but admire the taste of the girl being carried away.
…
In the room, the scent of shower gel lingered from the bathroom.
A faint milky fragrance, which was also on him. She murmured that she was hungry, and he swallowed her words along with her little tongue into his mouth. The water dripping from his hair fell onto her and the bedsheet, making everything damp, but it didn’t feel uncomfortable. Instead, it felt particularly intimate.
The curtains were drawn, leaving only a tiny gap that let a blinding sliver of sunlight fall onto the bed.
“What do you want to eat later?” He continued to devour her while also considering the hungry one being devoured.
“Seafood? BBQ?”
“Good idea,” he whispered, biting her collarbone. “The BBQ here is pretty good.”
“Mm…”
…
…
When she sat at the open-air BBQ restaurant wearing a new straw hat, facing him, she kept poking at her various grilled meats with a fork, just as he had devoured her earlier—weighing her options but never taking a bite. Every now and then, she tugged at her skirt or collar, afraid of revealing anything.
It was torture—on such a hot island, having to wear so much…
So when he said to hold back, he only meant saving the last bit… The rest was devoured without mercy…
How could there be so many tricks…
It’s just too embarrassing to talk about T.T…
Author’s Note: ╮(╯▽╰)╭ I’m not holding back the meaty parts. Honestly, this is really a clean story, at most just “…”
If you’re craving something spicier, I’ll make it up to you in the next story…
