After talking with Cao Mu, Shen Dong felt more at ease. He was worried that Cao Mu would feel left out when he was with his relatives these days, but every time he went out with his aunt and the others, he dared not take Cao Mu with him. He had to let Cao Mu follow, he was afraid that he might not see Cao Mu when he came back.

That could really drive him crazy.

Cao Mu didn't have any complaints, he followed him back and forth like a transparent person, and he didn't have any sense of existence, but as long as Shen Dong looked at him, he would definitely meet his gaze.

Every time Shen Dong saw his silly smile, his heart softened. Even though grandma was very reluctant for him to go back to the island, he still said that he wanted to go back.

As soon as the matter of leaving was mentioned, grandma burst into tears again: "I have only come back for a few days and I have to leave, I have been back for so many years and I have to leave in a few days..."

"Don't cry." Cousin put her arms around grandma, "Xiaodong didn't come back because he couldn't remember things before, but now that everything is fine, he can come back often, just like me, right Xiaodong."

"Well, we can take a break every two months, and it won't take much trouble to come back to see you." Shen Dong nodded desperately, he couldn't see grandma's tears, and felt sore in his heart.

"He's different from you, he's my eldest grandson." Grandma wiped her tears while looking at her cousin with disgust.

"It's not like you, patriarchal in person, granddaughter is so unpopular," the cousin covered her eyes, "Oh, I'm crying."

Grandma amused her and gave her a push: "You are the only one who can speak. Your parents are not as good as you. How did you learn?"

"Whoever brought you up learned from whom, didn't you always follow you when you were young." The cousin smiled and put her arms around grandma.

"Hey, you were so annoying when you were young..." Grandma's attention was successfully diverted, and she began to complain to her aunt and uncle about how troublesome her cousin was when she was young.

"Dong, come here," my cousin pulled Shen Dong aside, "Don't discuss with the old lady anymore, just buy the ticket and she won't cry."

"En." Shen Dong nodded, his memory is still a little fuzzy, he only vaguely remembers being bullied by his cousin when he was a child, robbed of food, stationery, and planted dirty, he didn't expect his cousin to help him so much when he grew up.

"Come back and have a look when you have a vacation, and it's easy to fly back."

"Ah."

"Bring me a pearl necklace next time," my cousin patted him on the shoulder, "and pearl powder, don't forget!"

Shen Dong laughed: "Success, I will definitely bring it for you."

"That colleague of yours," the cousin looked at Cao Mu, who was standing against the wall a few steps away from them, keeping his eyes on Shen Dong, "Are you here to accompany you this time?"

"Yes." Shen Dong was a little nervous, he had basically never lied for so many years.

"You two have a good relationship?"

"not bad."

"Are you two the only ones guarding the lighthouse on the island?" My cousin glanced at Cao Mu again, and Cao Mu was still looking at Shen Dong.

Shen Dong felt that he was sweating a little. If someone noticed, Cao Mu's behavior was indeed a bit strange. Even if he was a colleague with a good relationship, no one would stare at him all day long.

"No, there is another uncle who is about to retire." Shen Dong wanted to wink at Cao Mu, but his cousin was standing next to him, and Cao Mu might not understand what he meant.

"Oh..." The cousin stretched out his voice, and Shen Dong's heart was suspended. He just wanted to reassure his family and know that he was fine. He didn't intend to let others know about other things. He took a deep breath, "Let me tell you, this kid has been on the island for a long time, isn't he used to crowded places?"

"Ah? Ah! Yes." Shen Dong nodded quickly.

"I think it is, as long as you know him well, he keeps staring at you, looking quite insecure." The cousin clicked his tongue very lowly, "Your family can't care about him."

"It's okay." Shen Dong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what his cousin said, "Just go back to the island."

"Speaking of this, my sister told grandma for you not to force you, but you should also consider coming back and see if you can come back later. I'm afraid you will be stupid if you stay for a long time."

"Well," Shen Dong casually responded, "Actually, I've lived longer than him, do you think I'm stupid?"

"I think you have always been stupid, so you haven't changed." The cousin smiled, patted him, and went to chat with grandma.

Cao Mu's "a bit strange" has already made grandma and cousin aware, Shen Dong didn't dare to delay any longer, and directly took Cao Mu to buy the ticket back.

"Let's go section by section," Shen Dong held the ticket, "I originally wanted to stay for two more days, but if I stay for another two days, I'm afraid that someone will be able to see that something is wrong between us."

"What's wrong?" Cao Mu stood by the side of the road, his face was a little confused, "Where are you going one by one?"

"Go back to the island." Shen Dong looked at him.

"Oh, back to the island," Cao Mu's eyes lit up, "Where are we now?"

"...at my house," Shen Dong was a little worried, and touched Cao Mu's face, "Do you know who I am?"

"You," Cao Mu stared at him for a while, making Shen Dong's heart pounding. Finally, he reached out and touched Shen Dong's face, and said with a proud smile, "You are my son."

"I'll beat you!" Shen Dong scolded him, and his heart was relieved. Apart from persistently not remembering Hong Jie, Cao Mu could almost remember other things even if he reminded him. not bad.

In fact, Cao Mu can often think of the captain even if he is not in front of Hong Jie, but...

This is fate, Shen Dong grieved for Hong Jie silently for a while while enjoying himself.

Before departure, grandma, aunts and sisters hugged each other and cried into three tears at the station. My uncle seldom spoke these days, and now he was infected by their crying, and his eyes were a little red.

Shen Dong originally didn't want to cry anymore, he hadn't cried in all these years, so he went home and cried several times, but when he was holding back his tears, he suddenly saw tears on Cao Mu's face.

He couldn't hold back the tears he was holding back. Although he didn't know why Cao Mu was crying at this time, when he saw the tears on Cao Mu's face, his tears burst out.

Grandma saw that everyone finally succeeded in making Shen Dong cry too, and wiped her face as if she had completed the task: "Okay, Xiaodong, get in the car quickly, don't miss it."

"Remember to call back often!" Aunt told him.

"Mom, there is no mobile phone signal on their island..." My sister cried so much that her mascara and eyeliner were all smeared.

"Then call it when you go ashore. Didn't he say you can go ashore?" Auntie hugged Shen Dong's arm.

"Well, I'll call when I get ashore, sure."

After the car drove away, Shen Dong closed his eyes and collected himself, then looked at Cao Mu beside him: "Baby Cao, did you cry just now?"

"Yes." Cao Mu nodded.

"Why are you crying?" Shen Dong thought it was amazing.

"I don't know, everyone is crying," Cao Mu rubbed his face, "I just thought, if I came to see you off with them, I would cry."

"What are you thinking about when you're fine!" Shen Dong quietly shook his hand.

"Be idle, just think about it, don't you cry too."

"I didn't want to cry at first, I just cried when I saw you cry."

"Then why are you crying when I cry? You don't even know why I cry."

"Who knows," Shen Dong sniffed, and said vaguely, "My heart hurts."

Cao Mu didn't speak, and looked out the window from his seat, giggling at the glass for a long time.

After two or three days, Shen Dong finally brought Cao Mu back to the seaside town.

When he got off the long-distance bus, the sticky air with the smell of the sea blowing his face made him inexplicably feel a sense of intimacy.

It's really... staying here for too long, a person who grew up in dry air, would actually feel this way about the damp and fishy air by the sea.

"It's so comfortable." Cao Mu closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, a black exhaust from a farm vehicle driving past him made him cough for a long time.

"Is it comfortable?" Shen Dong was overjoyed, he was still having fun when he was walking towards the pier, he didn't know what he was enjoying.

"Is there a big boat today?" Cao Mu sat by the pier, soaking his feet in the sea water, squinting his eyes in enjoyment.

"No, there will be tomorrow morning. We can stay overnight at the small hotel on the pier. Anyway, it is next to the beach, or..." Shen Dong thought for a while, and squatted next to Cao Mu, "Let's stay here at night, I'll accompany you to soak in the water .”

"Okay!" Cao Mu was very happy, and took off his T-shirt as soon as he stretched out his arms, "Would you like to spend the night with me?"

After soaking it overnight, the whole body will be wrinkled!

"I can't soak overnight, but I can watch you soak at the pier, as long as you don't swim around." Shen Dong watched Cao Mu stand up and prepare to take off his pants, and quickly looked around. There were a few sporadic people in the distance. By the sea, Cao Mu's behavior of undressing is not strange, as long as he doesn't take off his clothes.

Cao Mu is still awake, wearing water under his underwear.

After the dense air bubbles dissipated, Shen Dong saw Cao Mu's underwear floating on the water surface and... the clownfish wrapped in the underwear.

Shen Dong held back his laughter, and wanted to reach out his hand to get it out of his underwear, but when he saw how it was running rampant in his underwear, he took his hand back again, sitting on the pier and couldn't stop laughing.

Cao Xiaoyu turned back into a fish, which is considered a small clownfish. A pair of underwear was too big for it. After struggling with the underwear for almost a minute, it rushed out from the waist of the trousers.

Shen Dong watched it scurry back and forth in the water like crazy, he fished up his underwear and put them aside with a smile, he also took off his clothes and jumped into the sea.

The moment he entered the water, he felt a burst of relief. The clear sea water, the warm sunlight, and the beam of light refracted in the water gave him a pleasant feeling of flying.

He closed his eyes and went down a few meters, opened his eyes, the world became quiet, and he could only hear the sound of water passing by his ears, feeling comfortable and relaxed.

The small orange shadow swung its tail in front of him and rushed over vigorously. This was not the speed of an ordinary clownfish, but the speed of a super fish, Cao Xiaoyu. Shen Dong didn't dodge, but was hit on the nose by it.

He stretched out his hand to grab it, but Cao Xiaoyu swam away with a wag of his tail, and he grabbed it in vain.

Seeing that he missed his catch, classmate Cao Xiaoyu twisted and ran over again, with his tail swaying exaggeratedly, bringing up a string of small blisters.

Depend on!Shen Dong caught it twice again, without even touching the fish scales, he swam to the surface of the water to take a breath, and he didn't dive any longer, lying on the surface of the sea and floating.

This feeling is really good. Shen Dong squinted his eyes and looked at the blue sky and white clouds. The sea breeze blew by from time to time, and the waves rushed against his body. There was also a clownfish that kept circling around him and rubbed against him with its tail. .

It's not bad to live like this for a lifetime.

Shen Dong had been soaking in the sea until he couldn't stand it before he went ashore, sitting on the pier and looking at the sea water.

The pier is very quiet, but it is not the kind of quiet that is completely empty. The voices of people in the distance from time to time make people feel at ease and calm.

Shen Dong spent the whole night on the pier, and Cao Mu also went ashore after dark, and the two of them lay on the pier with their arms pillowed on their heads and looked at the stars.

"You can't see the stars at night over there."

"Well, there's pollution."

"I love looking at the stars in the water."

"Then go back to the water and have a look."

"No, I like to lie next to you and watch now."

Shen Dong turned his face and looked at him: "Where did you learn this trick now?"

"I didn't learn, so I just say what I want to say, and I don't want to listen if I don't want to hear it." Cao Mu smiled.

"Yo, you still learned how to speak like this." Shen Dong looked at him feeling miraculous.

"I can talk at first, but grandpa said that I can talk better than my sister," Cao Mu turned sideways, his eyes bright, "When I'm in a good mood, I can speak very well, and I never stutter."

"Damn!" Shen Dong slapped him on the waist, "Shut up."

The big boat set off at eight o'clock in the morning, Shen Dong boarded the boat, and Cao Xiaoyu followed the boat as before.

When the boat arrived on the island, Shen Dong saw Uncle Chen standing on the small pier from a distance, and Xiao Zhang who looked downcast beside Uncle Chen.

Shen Dong didn't tell Uncle Chen when he returned to the island, but Uncle Chen had already seen him from afar and waved to him.

He also waved quickly. Although he hadn't spoken a few words to Uncle Chen all these years, he had experienced so many things on this trip. Now that he saw Uncle Chen, he felt an indescribable feeling. He met his uncle. like.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back?" Uncle Chen watched him jump off the boat and asked with a smile, "I also told Xiao Zhang that this person hasn't been ashore for seven years, and he probably wouldn't want to if he didn't go ashore for two or three months." return."

Shen Dong smiled and didn't make a sound, now he doesn't stutter anymore, but when he met Uncle Chen, he still habitually doesn't talk much like before.

"Fat, did he eat too well at home?" Uncle Chen smiled and said to Xiao Zhang next to him, "Do you think he is fat?"

"I didn't pay attention to it before, I just met," Xiao Zhang was still downcast, "When I came here, I was so shocked that there was no mobile phone signal..."

Xiao Zhang was dejected and got on the big boat to help move things. Uncle Chen looked at Shen Dong: "It's changed a lot when I go back, and I seem to be more energetic."

"I was, so...was it sluggish?" Shen Dong smiled and stuttered reflexively.

"I can't say, I just feel that you are in a good mood now." Uncle Chen patted him on the shoulder, "It's very good."

"I brought you and Xiao Zhang some special products, they are all edible, you two have a taste."

"You..." Uncle Chen looked at him in surprise for a long time, "You don't speak like that?"

"Ah," Shen Dong was a little embarrassed, and turned to walk on the boat, "It's all right."

"So it's better to go home. It might be better if you come back sooner." Uncle Chen said happily behind him.

Shen Dong stayed in the duty room until dark, Xiao Zhang was always downcast, but apart from being downcast, he didn't seem to have any other emotions, and he didn't clamor to go back.

Maybe if he can stay for a long time, then Uncle Chen can almost retire.

"I'm on duty today, you two should rest." Xiao Zhang ate a bag of pine nuts for two hours, "Shen Dong, you saved your life. It's so delicious, much better than salted fish."

"Save some food, and you'll run out of food in one day." Uncle Chen stood up and stretched his waist, "Shen Dong, the games on your computer also saved his life."

Shen Dong smiled, thanks to Hong Jie.

When he returned to his house, Shen Dong touched everything. He never left the house for more than 48 hours after he came to the island.

He took out his mobile phone and put it on the table. The dial can be retired. You can’t make calls on the island, but you can see the time, although the exact time here is meaningless.

A little sleepy, but Shen Dong was lying on the bed and did not sleep, Cao Mu must come to him at night.

After staring at the ceiling for over an hour, Shen Dong heard someone knocking on the window. He was about to say why he didn't go in directly, but when he turned his head, he saw a large black shadow on the window, which looked like a headless monster. He almost rolled out of bed.

"What's your expression?" Someone said outside.

Shen Dong stared at the black shadow for a long time, and heard that it was Hong Jie's voice, but he couldn't figure out what kind of structure he was.

He was thinking about it when the door was pushed open, and Cao Mu jumped in happily: "Shen Dong!"

"Baby," Shen Dong smiled at him, got off the bed, and turned his head to look at the shadow outside the window, "You came with the captain?"

"Well, what captain? This man has been following me," Cao Mu threw himself on the bed, "this bed is still the most comfortable."

"Really?" Shen Dongchong beckoned to the shadow outside the window to signal him to come in.

"Well, this pillow smells of you, and none of the other pillows." Cao Mu buried his face in the pillow and did not move.

When Hong Jie walked in from the door, Shen Dong finally understood what was going on, he pointed at Hong Jie's head and didn't know what to say: "Captain, what are you doing, attending a dinner party? "

"What's wrong!" Hong Jie looked depressed, probably because Cao Mu didn't know who he was, he touched the straw hat on his head, "I made this hat myself, isn't it pretty?"

Fishermen know how to weave straw hats, but no one can make them so big that three people can stand in a row, and it still has a flat top. Shen Dong walked over and lifted his hat: "This is a hat, this Isn't it really a round button twisted on the mat!"

"What do you know!" Hong Jie snatched the hat and put it on again, very unconvinced, and sighed, "You can say whatever you want, I can only make it fair."

"What are you doing here?" Shen Dong sat on the edge of the bed, and slapped Cao Mu's butt, quite elastic.

"Qin Yu is at my house." Hong Jie looked at Shen Dong with his finger on the brim of his hat which completely covered his face.

"Who?" Shen Dong's ears perked up.

"Qin Yu, Qin Yu! He's looking for Cao Xiaoyu."

"Why are you looking for Cao Mu? This matter is still going on, what are they going to do!" Shen Dong suppressed his voice, and the fire in his heart rose, why can't he live in peace!

"Don't yell at me, I didn't ask him to come here." Hong Jie gave him an annoyed sideways glance, and put the brim of his hat to cover his face, "Or I'll go back and kill him."

"Crazy," Shen Dong frowned, took a breath to adjust his emotions, "tell me, why is he looking for Cao Mu?"

"Yu Xiaojia is sick and wants to see Cao Xiaoyu." Hong Jie said from behind the hat.

Cao Mu, who had been burying his face in the pillow, suddenly turned over and sat up: "What?"
