Maid's Diary: Devil Master, Please Behave - Chapter 165
Chapter 165 Life and Death Has a Fate 2
In the secluded harbor of Blue Bay Island, dilapidated fishing boats quietly berthed.
The young fisherwoman raised her neck and sat on the eaves of the boat. She looked at the endless sea of flowers in the distance with a faint worry in her eyes. She couldn’t help but ask her father, who was busy checking the instrument, “Dad, it’s getting dark. Will Brother Mu stay here forever and not come back to Sheng Hua with us?”
The middle-aged man looked up and saw that his daughter was looking forward to it. He smiled heartily and said, “How could my precious daughter be so beautiful? That kid is still reluctant to come back? Little girl, you have to hurry up. Even Sheng Hua’s men are hard to catch.”
The bright red afterglow of the setting sun shone on her face. The little girl’s face was flushed red, and her feet were swaying on the side of the ship.
“Dad, don’t be too busy. Stop and rest.” In order to conceal her shyness, the little girl deliberately changed the topic.
The middle-aged fisherman shook his head and tied the ropes of the two life-saving rubber boats tightly. “That won’t do. It’s easy to get into trouble if you go back by that sea at night. You have to take strict precautions.”
The fisherwoman’s eyes suddenly lit up and she jumped down from the eaves of the boat.
In the distance, the setting sun pulled out two long shadows, and the two of them were rapidly walking towards this direction.
From afar, she could see the unconcealable smile on Brother Mu’s face. Even if his entire body was dirty, he could not conceal the dazzlingness he was born with.
In the blink of an eye, Mu Nan smiled and walked over to wipe the stain off his face. “I kept my promise. I’m back. Can I make some more fish soup tonight?”
The fisherwoman hurriedly nodded her head and shouted to her father to sail the boat. She pulled Mu Nan to scrub his dirty face.
By the time the bloody sunset had completely disappeared from the surface of the sea, the small, dilapidated fishing boat had steadily crossed the sparkling silver moonlight sea and was on its way back.
Mu Nan was in a good mood. He smoothly obtained the title deed to Blue Bay Island. As he drank the delicious fish soup, he smiled and chatted with Lin Qingyu. He planned to give Gu Yu Ze a big surprise.
Lin Qingyu was still very quiet. She was exceptionally cold. Her sandalwood eyes were deep, as cold as the occasional sea breeze that seeped into the cabin of a ship.
The fisherwoman listened to Mu Nan and occasionally heard the words “Gu Yu Ze” coming out of her mouth. As the daughter of a remote fishing area in the St Hua Financial District, she had naturally heard of Gu Yu’s famous name, Ze.
But for some reason, hearing Mu Nan mention it personally, her eyebrows fluttered and the corners of her mouth rose. The fisherwoman always had a strange feeling, as if cold dog food was blowing on her face.
She finally couldn’t restrain her curiosity and carefully asked, “Brother Mu, are you friends with the rumored Gu Shaoyan?”
She had never asked about the identities of these two people, and a high rent was enough for her to keep her mouth shut.
Mu Nan swallowed a mouthful of fish soup and licked the corners of his mouth. He shook his head and poked Lin Qingyu by the side with his fingertips. “I’m not his friend. This Lin Xiaoge is. He and Gu Yu Ze have known each other since childhood and are brothers.”
Lin Qingyu greeted the little girl’s curious gaze. Sandalwood glanced at Mu Nan, whose cheeks were slightly red, and slowly nodded.
Indeed, he was Gu Yuze’s friend.
The words “brotherhood” were silent mockery.
The fisherwoman was shocked as she sized up the ice-cold handsome young man from head to toe. Her mind had always been on Mu Nan, not paying any attention to this little brother Lin. Now that she looked closely, she was similarly handsome and indecent. Her expression was cold, a bit like a melancholy poet or a lonely painter.
“Wow, hello, little brother. My name is Wang Jing ~ You’re so handsome, but you’re quite cold. If you could add some sunlight, you wouldn’t look so lonely.” The fisherwoman frowned and scooped up a spoonful of fish soup for him.
Lin Qingyu’s heart stifled, and the fragrance of the delicious fish soup assaulted his nose. He looked at this beautiful, innocent and lively fisherman girl and was somewhat absent-minded.
He remembered that at some point, Mu Nan had told him, “If I added some sunlight, I wouldn’t be so lonely.”
It was a sunny afternoon, the first time he met Mu Nan.
The fisherwoman turned her head and added a spoonful of fish soup to Mu Nan’s bowl. She explained bashfully, “Brother Mu, my father asked about your family background just now. Don’t worry about it. My father is such a person. He’s always worried that I won’t be able to get married.” “I’ve already been admitted to an American university. I went to school in March, and now I’m just helping my dad take the pressure off his job for the time being-don’t get me wrong, anyway.”
Mu Nan shook his head, “No misunderstandings, no misunderstandings.”
The fisherwoman was a young and lively girl at the age when gossip bloomed everywhere. When she mentioned Gu Yu’s Ze, she couldn’t help but secretly gossip, “Let me tell you something. I heard that Young Master Gu seems to have an assistant. Although this person is handsome, he is arrogant, violent and arrogant. I heard that he is so arrogant that even Young Master Gu can’t do anything to him.”
Mu Nan coughed dryly and nodded, “This assistant isn’t as hateful as you said … It’s usually Young Master Gu bullying her.”
The fisherwoman narrowed her gossip eyes and sat down beside Mu Nan. She looked around and gossiped, “Brother Mu, you are too naive. I have some news about the explosion. Not long ago, Young Master Gu publicly announced that he had divorced Miss Bais and was with this assistant.”
Lin Qingyu drank the fish soup elegantly, her eyes glittering with cold light.
His other hand unconsciously clenched into his pocket, clenched, loosened, and clenched…
“These days, the hobbies of rich people are really strange.” The fisherwoman couldn’t help but feel a pity and revealed a puzzled expression. “A beautiful fianc é e doesn’t like it, but she likes an assistant who is neither male nor female. What if she dies? Men can’t have children.”
Mu Nan drank a mouthful of fish soup calmly and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.
The fisherwoman gossiped for a long time, and the fishing boat lit up the night lights and sailed into the rocky sea.
The fisherwoman patted her head and leaned closer to Mu Nan and asked softly, “By the way, Little Brother, I only know your surname is Mu. What is your full name?”
Mu Nan smiled calmly, “Mu Nan.”
The sea breeze blew in, and the fisherwoman’s smile was obviously stifled. She put down the spoon stiffly and said, “This name-seems a little familiar.”
“What a coincidence,” Mu Nan grinned. His blurry gaze passed through the cabin window and looked at the sparkling silver sea. “I am Young Master Gu’s assistant.”
Fisherwoman:…
! ! !
“You, you, you said that you are the one who is neither male nor female. Ah, bah, that’s not what I meant. Are you Young Master Gu’s assistant?!” The fisherwoman suddenly raised her voice. The porcelain bowl in her hand almost fell into the soup pot. When the middle-aged fisherman in the driver’s seat heard the commotion, he hurriedly ran to see her. He found his daughter frozen in place and the fish soup spilled all over the table.
“Dad, I accidentally knocked over the bowl. I’ll take care of it. You go to the driver’s seat. You must be careful in this sea area.”
With great difficulty, she calmed her mind and sent her father away. After packing everything up, she sat back down.
The fisherwoman did not expect that this was the first time she had been moved. The other party was actually a crooked person… The target was still the rumored Gu Yu Ze. In front of Mu Nan, he had been gossiping about their relationship for a long time.
It was like a hero’s knight who had traveled all the way to the princess’ castle and found out that the sleeping beauty was actually a nun. It was a heart-wrenching feeling.
The warm and harmonious atmosphere in front of the cabin was broken by a strange and bizarre wave.
The fisherwoman’s gaze changed from dull to clear, and her consciousness slowly returned. She couldn’t help but look at this dazzling youth again and again. Aiyo, no matter how it looked, it didn’t look like a crook…
“Mu, Brother Munan, why do you like Young Master Gu?”
Mu Nan tilted his head. This question was also troubling her. Since when did Gu Yu’s Ze quietly occupy her mind? The two of them seemed to be fighting against each other like water and fire. They fused in the water and fire, making her willing to gamble her life for him…
“Probably, he’s really annoying.” Mu Nan smiled silently. The fishing boat had already begun to jolt, and a bone-chilling cold sea breeze blew in.
The fisherwoman felt regretful, but she still wanted to ask a few more questions. At this time, the fishing boat shook violently, and the creaking sound of rocks cutting through the metal sheet was ear-piercing.
The fish soup on the table smashed to the ground. The boiling liquid almost spilled onto Lin Qingyu’s body. Mu Nan kicked it away with a quick kick, and his ankles instantly turned red.
Lin Qingyu’s eyes narrowed as she tried to pull Mu Nan away, but she was shaken violently and smashed onto the deck.
Before Mu Nan’s ankle could release the stinging pain, a bone-piercing cold instantly covered her feet. Mu Nan lowered his head, and dark seawater gushed out of the cabin.
At this time, the middle-aged fisherman’s panicked and calm roar came, “The boat hit a rock. My daughter, hurry up and see if it can be repaired!”
The fisherwoman pushed Mu Nan onto the deck to take refuge, while she nimbly drilled back into the cabin. A few seconds later, she shouted, “No, the cabin floor is too damaged, the boat is going to capsize!”
“Take out the rubber boat and bring two guests to the rubber boat! Don’t forget the food and freshwater bags!”
Mu Nan ignored the scald on his feet and immediately stuffed the silver box containing the deed into his bosom. He hurriedly helped the fisherwoman pull out the rubber boat.
“I can row a rubber boat. Help your father!”
The sea breeze blew over, and the ship shook violently. A crisp cracking sound could be heard on the deck, and the cold sea water smashed onto its body.
In the absence of the ship’s protection, the sea showed an unprecedented terrifying deterrent. The moonlight illuminated the silver-white seawater, and there was an unfathomable fear, like a bottomless black hole.
The middle-aged fisherman threw the paddle to Mu Nan. The few of them paddled hard, and the two rubber boats quickly fell into the water. The sea water poured into the cabin, and the fishing lights flickered and went out a few times.
Fortunately, there were no violent sea storms tonight. There were only two lone rubber boats left between heaven and earth, as well as the faint coastal lights in the distance.
Calamity came and went quickly. Only then did Mu Nan let out a faint sigh of relief.
Sweat streaked down his forehead, and exhaustion surged into his heart. She turned around and asked, “Are you alright? Fortunately, the father and daughter are experienced.”
No one answered.
“Damn it, Munan, where’s your friend!” The fisherman and his daughter were in a small kayak. By the moonlight, the fisherwoman keenly discovered that there was only one person in Munan’s rubber boat.
As for Lin Qingyu, she was gone!
Mu Nan was absent-minded for a moment. The rubber boat was enough to hold two people. She remembered in a trance that the rubber boat shook violently just now, as if a heavy object had fallen.
He lowered his head and found that he had fastened a safety button on his waist-it was Lin Qingyu who had fastened it to her.
The fisherman and his daughter rode their boats closer and saw the absent-minded Mu Nan.
The middle-aged fisherman was honest and straightforward. Seeing that someone was missing, he immediately rolled his sleeves and said anxiously, “Little brother, wait here. I’ll go find that young man!”
“Dad, your hand! Let me go back and look for it. There are many wooden boards on the surface of the sea. He might pull the floating board!” The fisherwoman hurriedly stopped him. Mu Nan saw a terrifying bloody cut on the middle-aged fisherman’s dark arm. Blood was stained.
The middle-aged fisherman had already lost consciousness due to excessive physical exertion and the loss of his wounds.
The father and daughter were still arguing, and Mu Nan’s slender fingers were tightly clutching the boat’s oars, their fingertips turning pale.
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
She raised her eyes and looked at the distant lights on the Sheng Hua coast, where the lighthouse stood.
A terrifying silence.
In that instant, she seemed to see Gu Yuze’s monstrous face appear on the distant coast. She heard the rustling of the grass leaves of the Azure Void Mansion. Why was the aura of the waves so familiar? It engraved memories in the light of Hai Tianmingyue.
Ten seconds later, she hesitated for ten seconds.
He seemed to have hesitated for a lifetime.
Then he said in a daze, stopping the quarrel between father and daughter, “Stop arguing—-I’ll go back and save him.”
Mu Nan took out the silver box from his bosom. His lips were slightly open and he handed it over to the fisherwoman. He said softly, “Wang Jing, listen to me-your father and daughter will return to Sheng Hua immediately. There’s no need to wait for me. Go find Qingkong Mansion, give my name to Gu Yu and Ze, and give him this box.”
Her expression was so calm and collected that no one could refuse. The clear moonlight outlined Mu Nan Qing-juan’s abnormal face. She looked thin and weak, but there was an invisible pressure sweeping through her heart. Her face was absent-minded, as if she was a demon god swimming in the sea.
“But” The fisherwoman opened her mouth, wanting to stop him, but then looked at her father who had fainted from blood loss.
“Don’t worry, this place isn’t far from Sheng Hua. I’ll be back soon after I find Lin Qingyu.” Mu Nan smiled comfortingly. The ripples in his eyes froze and he whispered to himself, “If … I can still come back.”
Two rubber boats quietly floated on the moonlit silver sea.
The fisherwoman’s eyes were filled with unease. She handed Mu Nan the fresh water and food bag and said worriedly, “If you can’t find it in half an hour, hurry back. The weather is abnormal these days and there might be a storm at sea.”
Mu Nan gently tugged at the corner of his mouth, and his fingertips landed on the safety button on his waist. He said, “Let’s see if you’re lucky. Let’s gamble.”
The sea breeze slightly brushed up the shattered hair on her forehead. The moonlight was clear. The fisherwoman seemed to see an indescribable confusion in Mu Nan’s eyes. There were faint ripples of water flowing, as if tears were about to fall.
The fisherwoman shook her head. The Mu Nan in front of her still had a confident expression. She thought that the tears from earlier were all an illusion.
“You guys leave first. I’ll go save Lin Qingyu.” Mu Nan tilted his head and smiled warmly.
The fisherwoman hesitantly picked up the paddle and turned her head. The waves hit the rubber boat, and the two approaching rubber boats seemed to separate and rush in two different directions.
Game of Fate, let’s gamble.
After all, life and death had a destiny.
(Sigh… Where’s the lunch box ~ message? I didn’t see the message… I want the lunch box. Wuuuuuuuu.)
