The sea breeze from the fishing city always carries a fishy smell, especially in autumn and winter, when it blows very hard, but Ah Liu is used to it.

Ah Liu doesn't have an exact surname, and she doesn't know who her parents are. As soon as she was able to leave, she was thrown in a corner of the fishing city by someone. The meal is long.

In order to repay and make a living, she often helps residents salvage at the beach, and occasionally goes out to sea with her.

She was not good-looking, thin and short, her hair was always dry, and her skin was dry and dark after being exposed to the wind and sun for a long time. The men who went fishing together would occasionally laugh at her for not being able to find someone to marry in the future. go out.

If you can't get married, you can't get married, A Liu doesn't care.

She had never left the fishing city, so she also thought that all the men in the world were the same as the ones here. They were dark, loud, and could scare chickens away when they laughed. A Liu didn't know what there was to like.

If you really want to say it's different, the weird-looking golden-haired men on the foreign merchant ships that come only once in half a year are different, at least they are not shirtless.

Then one day, when she was collecting the net and counting the fish and shrimp, she heard Da Qin on the boat next to her loudly saying that the desolate yard next door to her house had been bought by a rich man from another country.

"At first glance, it came from a good place. She was born so white and looks like a girl. I am excited to look at it."

At that time, Ah Liu didn't pay much attention to what he heard, but he didn't expect that in the afternoon, he would meet that foreigner whose mouth was fairer than girls in Daqin.

What Daqin said was correct, that foreigner was indeed fair-looking, standing among a crowd of sweaty elders, like a slim white crane, attracting attention.

Everyone was looking at him, but the outsider didn't seem to feel it. He walked around slowly twice, and finally stopped in front of Ah Liu, intending to buy her fish.

"Girl's fish is the best." The stranger said, with a smile, two delicate dimples appeared around his mouth.

If you have money but don't make money as a bastard, Aliu thinks he looks good, so he even gave him a discount.

The stranger came here for three consecutive days, and every day he would buy a fish back home. On the last time, he asked thoughtfully, "What should I do with the fish?"

A Liu: "?"

A Liu couldn't believe it: "You can't do it?"

The stranger smiled: "No."

"Then you two days ago—"

"I went back and tried it, only to find out that it really doesn't work."

Aliu: "..."

A Liu could only explain how to operate it in detail to the outsider, who listened and nodded, and finally bought two more, saying that he would go back to practice.

Ah Liu was hesitant to talk about this wasteful behavior, but the outsider seemed to see what she was thinking, and replied that he had to prepare the best when his sweetheart woke up.

Ah Liu understood, nodded, and quietly imagined such a fair and clean man after the person left, the woman who matched him had to be so good-looking.

A few days later, the weather turned completely cold, and Ah Liu no longer planned to go to sea, and curled up in her room all day long. She couldn't read, and only occasionally went to the market with the money she had saved this year. Shop for necessities online.

Then Ah Liu ran into that stranger again.

This time, there was another boy beside the stranger. He was wearing a hood and had a slender figure. Upturned nose.

Aliu was a little curious, followed behind and took a sneak peek, but was caught by the stranger who suddenly turned around.

I don't know if it was A Liu's illusion, but the way the stranger looked back at her was a bit too cold.

But immediately, Ah Liu was distracted by the appearance of the boy who was also startled and turned his head to look at him.

He was beautiful, with big eyes, upturned eyes, long eyelashes, red lips and white teeth, and a black hood that made his skin whiter than snow. When he met her gaze, the boy returned a smile.

Ah Liu's face turned red, and her heart couldn't help but jump twice more. Fortunately, she was tanned, so she couldn't quite see it.

Is it brother?

Ah Liu thought.

She looks so pretty, like a porcelain doll.

Ah Liu has never owned a porcelain doll, but only glimpsed it on the boat of a golden-haired man from outside.

It's a pity that Aliu never saw porcelain dolls on the street again, and that foreigner never came to her to buy fish.

-

Ye Ye was shackled again.

It's a bit funny to say, when Ye Ye saw the buckle on his ankle, he still felt very kind.

Ten days ago, he woke up from a coma, discussed the future path with the system, and understood his current situation.

The place they were in was the Southern Fishing City that Zhou Zhouyi had mentioned with a smile that night. The system said that on the first day Zhou Zhouyi arrived, he bought a yard, sold a carriage, and went to the beach to pick up The fish came back and ended up being overcooked.

And on the second day, Zhou Zhouyi went out in the morning to get acquainted with the situation in the town, and in the evening, he went to pick up a fish and came back. It was less mushy, but he didn't take out the guts, so he threw it away after eating.

And on the third day—

It was the afternoon when Ye Ye woke up, and he finally saw Zhou Zhouyi himself.

Wearing an elegant white shirt, Zhou Zhouyi walked up to Ye Ye with three live fishes in his hands, and asked with a smile, "How does Ah Ye feel?"

These words faintly coincided with a certain scene in Ye Ye's memory. At that time, Zhou Zhouyi directly crippled his cultivation base with the medicinal soup he made by himself. When they met again, he asked the same question.

Ye Ye said: "Fortunately, it's just that I'm a little weak."

"That's good." Zhou Zhouyi straightened up, picked up the three flopping fish in his hand, tilted his head and said with a smile, "I'll make fish for Ah Ye."

I don't know if it is because of the accumulated experience of the previous two days. Although there was only one fish left by Zhou Zhouyi, it was not mushy, and the internal organs seemed to be taken out.

Ye Ye looked at the fish, then looked up at Zhou Zhouyi, the latter was sitting in front of his bed, his long hair was tied up high, his sleeves were also rolled up, revealing his two white arms, and his chest still Scratched some oil stains from nowhere.

Ye Ye sighed again in his heart,

Zhou Zhouyi handed over the chopsticks and said, "Try it."

Ye Ye took a sip and panicked.

Ye Ye took another bite and said obediently, "It's delicious."

Zhou Zhou looked at him intently: "Isn't it fishy?"

"Smelly." Ye Ye nodded, "But what you made for me, whether it's fishy or not, I think it's delicious."

He paused, and looked at him again: "This is true."

Zhou Zhouyi didn't speak.

Ye Ye: "The unique thousand paper cranes are real."

Ye Ye: "It's true that I won't do things that don't please you."

Ye Ye: "I really like you."

Ye Ye: "It's yours until death, and it's true."

Zhou Zhouyi's face darkened, he opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but before he could speak, Ye Ye interrupted: "Hey, believe it or not, it's true."

Zhou Zhouyi tightened his fingers hidden in the sleeve robe, and dug his nails into the palm of his hand. He forced himself to find out the falsehood from the other party's eyes, but there was nothing.

No one is more sincere than Ye Ye.

Because they are all real, even if they are thrown on the ground, they can make a clanging sound.

Zhou Zhouyi let go of his tightly clenched fingers, and heard himself say lightly, "Aye has a sweet mouth." He raised his face and smiled sinisterly, "I must have said similar things more than once. .”

Ye Ye blinked.

"But maybe it can be the last time."

Zhou Zhouyi was startled visible to the naked eye.

Ye Ye smiled again, sweeter than honey: "Be good."

"Why don't you try it."

Zhou Zhouyi looked at him for a long time, until his eyes turned red, and then he slowly bent down, arched his back, knelt on the edge of the bed with one leg, and buried his face in Ye Ye's shoulder .

Ye Ye touched the hair on the back of his head tentatively, guessing that Zhou Zhouyi must have been persuaded.

It was also from that day that Zhou Zhouyi seemed to have returned to his previous state, and his smile was not so sly, and he went out for a walk, and when he came back, he still had a booklet in his hand. Curious, Ye Ye probed his brain I asked to take a look, only to find that it was actually a handwritten recipe.

Zhou Zhouyi explained very frankly that the neighbor's mother-in-law smelled the smell of burning pot all day long, so she specially wrote it as a gift for them, which made Ye Ye laugh for a long time.

I don't know if it is really thanks to this recipe, Zhou Zhouyi's craftsmanship has indeed begun to increase visibly, at least the rice is no longer mixed with raw food, the fish is no longer fishy, ​​and the vegetables are not directly fried.

Ye Ye's life became happy again. Of course, the most important thing is that Zhou Zhouyi once again tidied up Ye Ye properly from the inside to the outside.

Ye Ye was very happy, Zhou Zhouyi, who was not suspicious, was so pleasing to him, he wished he could hug Zhou Zhouyi and kiss him for a year.

They spent more than a week peacefully, very harmonious, very close, very loving, until Ye Ye asked if they could go out for a walk.

When Zhou Zhouyi heard what he said, she didn't agree immediately, but just smiled and asked him why.

Ye Ye said truthfully, "I want to watch the ocean with you."

Zhou Zhouyi thought for a while and said, "It's windy outside, why don't you wear an extra cloak?"

He spoke in a conscientious tone, and Ye Ye agreed without saying a word, and happily went out with Zhou Zhouyi.

They lived far away, and they had to go through a market when they walked to the beach. Zhou Zhouyi took him around a less crowded road, and put the hood of the cloak on Ye Ye by the way.

Ye Ye had no objection, the journey went smoothly, and then Zhou Zhouyi suddenly turned around.

Ye Ye was startled.

I swear to the sky, Ye Ye really, really, really just subconsciously looked back.

Curiosity is human instinct.

So he saw a thin girl standing behind the two of them, she seemed to be startled too, her eyes widened, she quickly glanced at Zhou Zhouyi, then looked at herself again, her eyes widened more rounded.

Ye Ye...Ye Ye smiled instinctively again.

In the next second, Ye Ye felt that Zhou Zhouyi's grip on his wrist suddenly tightened, as if he wanted to insert his five fingers directly into it. He shivered in pain, and looked at Zhou Zhou in surprise. meaning.

Zhou Zhouyi's eyes were red again, he stared at Ye Ye, and then made a weird smile, with a sudden realization that made Ye Ye's heart skip a beat.

"I see."

In the end, they didn't go to the seaside. Ye Ye was brought back to the residence by Zhou Zhouyi. Before he could think about what to say, Zhou Zhouyi pressed him on the bed and gave him a good meal.

It was so fierce and ruthless that Ye Ye didn't have the energy to care about it even if he knew there was a problem.

So when I woke up the next day, I found that I was locked again.

Ye Ye: "..."

Moreover, the chain was shorter than when he was in Lijiacun. Ye Ye couldn't even touch the door, he could only go to the middle of the room, just past the table. If he walked to the side, he could touch the window, but he couldn't open it.

Ye Ye really didn't expect it.

Before that, Ye Ye had never provoked someone like Zhou Zhouyi, so the current development situation was indeed different from what he thought, or it should be said that it was much worse.Every time he thought he had coaxed Zhou Zhouyi well, Zhou Zhouyi would collapse for him in a blink of an eye.

Ye Ye said: "He is very powerful."

System: 【Do you mean you can't coax this well? 】

Ye Ye nodded: "I always thought I was the type who was good at talking."

System: 【...You are indeed. 】

The system tactfully said: [It's just Zhou Zhouyi himself. 】

-

What kind of person is Zhou Zhouyi?

Arrogant and paranoid, cruel and vicious, if he was cut open with a knife, even the splashed blood might be black.

In the original plot, he didn't like anyone, nor should he like anyone.

Zhou Zhouyi is not suitable for dating at all.

But of course, of course, he can also love, pamper, take care of, be tender, sweet, sweet talk, he is good to people, because he knows what is good.

But he thought it was useless.

It was when Zhou Zhouyi saw the scar on Ye Ye's body that day that he suddenly remembered what he had done to Ye Ye. At that moment, he felt panic like never before.

He thought, could Ye Ye love him?

Zhou Zhou intended to please him for this, and he tried to please him even more than before. He suppressed his own nature and carefully begged for his admiration. For a time, it seemed that his wish was indeed granted.

Until he suddenly realized that it was useless.

He is the same, the same as Cheng Shuo, maybe there are others, maybe there are many people.

They must have used more methods, more tender words, and deeper expectations to beg for his long-term love and mercy, but it was useless.

Zhou Zhouyi's frantically beating heart pulled his nerves, and he suddenly remembered that at the very beginning, earlier, when he saw Ye Ye, he wanted to put Ye Ye in a cage.

But at that moment, he realized.

He was the one locked in the cage, with no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth.

And Ye Ye is the one who chooses.

So no matter what he did, whether it was breaking his legs or breaking his hands, he would trap Ye Ye here. In front of this invisible cage, he could only see himself.

The author has something to say: Ye Ye: You may not believe me if I tell you, but I will run away to my death.

Zhou Zhouyi: ...Ye Ye, you have no heart!

-

The next chapter will end the world!

Xiao Zhou was probably the only one in Ye Ye's happy journey who saw through his scum.
