It's a human being!

The further you go into the cave, the colder it gets.

The dank coldness in the air seemed to seep into the bones, Zhou Zhou unknowingly walked closer and closer to Jin Ci, he didn't know whether it was cold or frightened.

Only the sound of ethereal footsteps echoed in the space.

"Senior Jin." He couldn't help but say, "Did you hear anything?"

Although the ending sound was floating, it could be heard that he was still trying to stay calm.After all, Jin Ci just said that he is afraid of the dark, and when two people walk together, even if he is afraid, he must not show it at this moment.

Jin Ci stopped, tilted his head and listened carefully: "Is there, what did you hear?"

The voice fell, as if in response to his question, from the other side of the rock in the depths of the cave, there was a crisp clicking sound.

The sound was actually quite nice, like several shells colliding together, forming a certain rhythmic tone.

However, Zhou Zhou has no intention of enjoying the tune now.

His face turned pale, he closed his eyes and rushed towards Jin Ci, and said loudly: "Senior Jin, don't be afraid!!"

This sound was loud and majestic, as if he wanted to use this strong aura to frighten the voice from the other end, but he didn't know whether the other side was really frightened by him or what, but the knocking sound really stopped.

Jin Ci was hugged suddenly, and his body froze.

In the darkness, Zhou Zhou's slightly trembling eyelashes were tightly closed, obviously he was terribly scared, but he was still strong and stubborn to protect him, trying his best to protect him.

how so cute.

The light in Jin Ci's eyes changed: "Dayday..."

"Senior Jin, take this." Zhou Zhou lowered his head and stuffed the only oil lamp into Jin Ci's hand, "Although your night vision is very good, you may be able to see clearly without this light, but when you are afraid, It would be nice to have a little more light around you.”

Zhou Zhou's fingers were cold and trembling imperceptibly, but he didn't seem to notice it, and probably felt that he was covering it up very well.

Jin Ci took the oil lamp silently, and when the person in front of him took a deep breath and was about to stand in front of him, he suddenly pulled the person into his arms.

Zhou Zhou only felt that his whole body was surrounded by sudden warmth.

"... Senior Jin?" He hesitated.

Jin Ci didn't speak, but just tightened his arms a little, and his shallow breath brushed Zhou Zhou's ears, his voice seemed very close: "It's okay, I'm just a little scared, so I can't help but want to hug Zhou Zhou."

Even though the tone of his voice was half-frightened and he couldn't tell, Zhou Zhou still obediently let the other party hold him, and he let go after a while.Immediately, Jin Ci held his hand, and his slender fingers were firmly inserted between his fingers.

This action is a bit too intimate, and it is rare for friends who have a good relationship to hold each other like this.

Like a stone falling into the calm water, there are tiny ripples, which quickly dissipate.

... It's not surprising, after all, Jin Ci is afraid, so it's normal to hold him tight.

Zhou Zhou felt the heat in the opponent's palm, and while thinking in a mess in his mind, his heart hanging in mid-air also settled down miraculously.

The two walked in slowly again.

The air was filled with a lingering sea smell, and there would still be knocking sounds after a while, and the sound was getting closer and closer, as if following them all the way.

Zhou Zhou frowned: "This voice is so strange, what could it be?"

Jin Ci glanced in the direction of the source of the voice with his dark eyes: "I don't know, it might be some kind of bug."

"Insects?" It didn't look scary in an instant, Zhou Zhou's mind somehow came up with an insect with a shell on its back, and hit the stone with the shell on its back desperately, "Could it be an insect with a shell?"

Jin Ci smiled.

Zhou Zhou scratched his hair belatedly, and felt a little embarrassed: "Hahahaha, how can there be bugs with shells..."

"Want to know what it looks like?"

"Ah?" Zhou Zhou was stunned for a moment, his curiosity overcame his fear, "If I can see it, I really want to see it."

In his cognition, he had never heard of anything that could make such a sound.

Jin Ci hummed and said nothing.

The road ahead became narrower, and as close as the sound was, there was also the increasingly strong smell of the sea, as if something had been marinated in the deep sea for decades and was suddenly picked up, and it was smoky. People are dizzy.

Zhou Zhou didn't dare to take a big breath anymore, his thinking ability gradually went on strike under the influence of this smell.

He pinched his nose, turned his head with stars in his eyes, and said, "The smell here is so bad... Senior Jin, let's go faster?"

Just as he was talking, he slipped his foot, tripped over a hard object, and fell face-to-face!

"—!"

"Be careful."

Jin Ci grabbed him in time, and Zhou Zhou gasped subconsciously, but the strong smell of the sea rushed straight into Tianling Gai, and he almost passed through.

The surrounding sounds became far away, as if they were coming from the clouds, and the shaking vision also became black layer by layer.

He panted heavily, trying to calm the discomfort in his heart, but unfortunately, things went against his wishes, and his dizziness became worse after a few mouthfuls.

"Jin, Senior Jin." Zhou Zhou grasped the other party in a daze, and from the corner of his vision, he caught a glimpse of a huge strange silhouette in the darkness, like a crab's pliers half a person's height, which could crush his head when it came down.

...What is that, is it a crab?

Although, how come crabs have such big pincers, is it an illusion! ?

Zhou Zhou stared at that with a blank mind, and suddenly felt that Jin Ci forcibly turned his head and hugged his limp body as if to comfort him.

"Why are you so scared? Forget it, take a break every day." Jin Ci's laughing voice penetrated into his ears like a lullaby, Zhou Zhou's eyelids closed weakly, and his whole body fell into darkness In the dream, personnel and affairs are unknown.

……

He had a strange dream.

In the dream, he was stepping on the back of a huge orange-red crab, and on the left and right were two crab claws bigger than his head, attacking him brazenly.

His eyelids twitched and took half a step back: "Don't come here!"

Seeing that the pliers were about to dance in front of the eyes, suddenly there was a loud bang, and a golden fish tail smashed the crab pliers unceremoniously. Before the big crab could groan, it was smashed into countless small crabs , fled in all directions.

Fish, fish tail?

Zhou Zhou stared at the tail that saved him in fascination, and at a certain moment, he was so blessed that he suddenly turned his head and looked behind him——

On the seashore with huge waves, Jin Cili smiled at him faintly, his long and deep eyes seemed to reflect the gilded broken light.There was a long golden tail hovering behind him, and an indescribable coercion spread around.

All around him were densely packed small crabs and small clams fleeing in a hurry, and some even squeezed sparks out of each other because they were running too hard, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt seafood.

As a dream, the scent is a little too real.

Zhou Zhou subconsciously swallowed his saliva, sniffed his nose, and said in astonishment, "Senior Jin, why are you here?"

The other party didn't speak, and stood still in front of him, his deep eyes were half hidden under the thin eyelids, there was an irresistible attraction that made people unable to look away.

Zhou Zhou was stunned.

Uncontrollably wanting to get closer, he tiptoed slightly, leaning forward as if bewitched.

Zhou Zhou suddenly woke up.

Irregular heartbeats thumped in my ears.

...What did he want to do just now?

Zhou Zhou calmed his mind down for a while before recovering.

He sat up, and there was a strong aroma of grilled seafood in the air. The bright moon was in the sky, and the vast and deep sea not far away was gently undulating. There were no huge golden tails in sight, and there were no countless small crabs and clams, only the night. There was the faint crackling of firewood.

"Are you awake?" Jin Ci was beside him, his tone light.

The image of the dream still remained in his mind, Zhou Zhou was a little afraid to look at the other person, he lowered his eyes to hear his heartbeat gradually calm down, and then responded.

Somehow they were already outside the cave, and Shi Hui and the others were sitting by the fire not far away, laughing and chatting while grilling something.

Jin Ci seemed to know what he was thinking: "You fell asleep in the cave, and we will rest here after we come out."

Zhou Zhou: "Oh...how did I suddenly fall asleep?"

Jin Ci: "The air in the cave is not very circulated. You fell asleep when you were a little hypoxic. Come out and rest in a ventilated place."

Zhou Zhou nodded, then remembered something: "Ah, by the way, what was that voice we heard before? And why did I remember seeing a ridiculously big crab... Senior Jin, are you alright?"

"Crabs that are ridiculously big." Jin Ci glanced at him inexplicably, and suddenly smiled, "Did you daydreaming, where are there crabs that are ridiculously big, but there are small crabs, are you hungry?"

"..." He was really hungry.

Zhou Zhou was a little uncertain, maybe the big crab was the one he dreamed about.

Not far away, Shi Hui bounced over, with a happy face, and respectfully offered a few skewers of hot barbecue to Jin Ci: "The first batch of crabs and red shrimps out of the oven, please accept them with a smile."

This was the first time seeing Shi Hui being so polite to Jin Ci, Zhou Zhou found it quite novel: "Great hero?"

Shi Hui immediately changed his words: "Well, it's the winner, the winner hahahahaha, wasn't it just an adventure competition, he won the Cige, this is the treatment that No.1 should have."

"That's it." Zhou Zhou nodded half-understood, although Shi Hui didn't look at Jin Ci now as if he was looking at the winner, but as if... looking at a pile of gleaming gold.

Jin Ci took the barbecue sticks with a calm expression, and passed them all to Zhou Zhou.

"Give it all to me? Senior Jin won't eat?"

"I won't eat, aren't you hungry?"

Holding a stick, Zhou Zhou took a bite of the crispy grilled shrimp, his mouth was full of fragrance, and he suddenly felt as if he was about to fly with happiness.

Probably after eating delicious food and relaxing, Zhou Zhou finally had the courage to look up at Jin Ci quietly.The silhouette of the other party's side face was deep and clear under the moonlight, and Zhou Zhou finally calmed down, and the last scene of the dream couldn't help but appear in his mind at this glance.

His gaze hurriedly moved away as if being scalded, and an inexplicable feeling emerged.

... What are you guilty of?

It's all a dream, anything can happen in the dream, and what you dream of is not under your control.

Therefore, it is impossible for Jin Ci to grow a fish's tail.

My own behavior is also...

It's all just a dream!

After brainwashing himself in his heart, Zhou Zhou looked at Jin Ci with a very natural expression, and handed out a bunch of grilled shrimp with a very natural movement: "Senior Jin, do you want to try this shrimp, it is very delicious."

The grilled shrimp with half of its body bitten off was lifted in the air.

Zhou Zhou was taken aback, and hurriedly wanted to take back the grilled shrimp for another skewer, when he heard Shi Hui "tsk", rolled his eyes as if he had no eyes, got up and walked out.

"Oh, don't give up on this bunch of grilled shrimp. It seems that my service is not up to the mark. Please do me a favor. I'll go and grill it for you again!"

Before Zhou Zhou had time to react, the skewer of grilled shrimp in his hand had already been taken away by Jin Ci.Jin Ci didn't seem to care what Shi Hui said at all, and calmly bit off the half of the shrimp.

Zhou Zhou held back the words to stop him and swallowed, his eyes fell on the other's lips, and he couldn't move away suddenly.

"It's okay." Jin Ci's tone was light, and he couldn't tell whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied. His dark eyes swept over, and he didn't know what he saw, and the corners of his thin lips curled into a slight arc.

"..." Zhou Zhou withdrew his eyes, his ears were filled with the sound of his irregular heartbeat, which was surprisingly clear.

The air was quiet for a few seconds, and Jin Ci smiled lightly.

He looked at Zhou Zhou, changed his words word by word, and said, "It's still quite delicious."
