Chapter 65
In the afternoon, the colourful sunset reflected on the earth, and a huge luxury cruise ship sailed on the sparkling sea. Everything seemed so lively and comfortable.
“Bo Sijue, just let me go for a swim in the sea! Just for a little while, please.”
The young man stood by the desk and shook the man’s arm violently, his tone full of coquettishness.
The man on the main seat was not affected by him at all and rejected him with an extremely serious expression.
“No.”
“Why?”
Bai Junluo frowned, looking puzzled.
“There’s no reason. If you dare to jump, I will throw you directly into the shark pool and let you swim until you have enough.”
Bo Sijue signed the document, handed it to He Zheng beside him, and said in a cold voice: “You watch him, don’t let him jump into the sea, otherwise…”
The man paused for a moment, but the warning was very strong.
He Zheng nodded quickly, then looked at Bai Junluo beside him with wide eyes.
Seeing the collusion between the two, Bai Junluo snorted angrily.
“Humph, Bo Sijue, I will never pay attention to you again.”
The young man threw away the man’s arm and ran out of the study in anger.
The man on the main seat put down the document in his hand and looked at the departing figure at the door, his dark pupils shining with unknown meaning.
“Go and follow him, don’t let him jump into the sea.”
“Yes.”
He Zheng came outside with the documents in his arms and shook his head at the man.
Mr. Bo was really pretending to be cold, but in fact, he was afraid that Young Master Bai would run into the sea and never come back!
.
Bai Junluo came outside to the deck. His clear sapphire eyes kept looking at the blue water, and he couldn’t help but yearn to jump in and swim.
The moment he stepped onto the railing with one foot, his hand was suddenly grabbed by the person behind him.
“Ah, He Zheng, don’t stop me. I must jump today.”
Bai Junluo stretched out his hand to pry away the man’s hand and climbed up the railing again.
At this moment, a familiar and shocking voice reached his ears.
“Luoluo, did my cousin bully you again? You even think of jumping into the sea?”
Bo Zhijin had sneaked onto the cruise ship secretly. He hadn’t wanted to get out so soon, but when he glanced just now, he saw Bai Junluo about to jump into the sea, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
Bai Junluo, who was on the railing, was suddenly pulled off by him, and the two of them fell onto the deck of the cruise ship.
Bai Junluo rubbed his foot that was hurt by the fall, raised his head, his eyes widening in surprise, and exclaimed: “Ah Jin, why are you here?”
“Luoluo, don’t worry about why I’m here. Why did you try to jump into the sea just now?”
Bo Zhijin reached out and patted his chest, feeling a lingering fear in his heart.
“I want to play in the sea.”
Bai Junluo answered innocently, which instantly confused Bo Zhijin.
Playing in the sea? Was he okay?
Bo Zhijin looked at Bai Junluo in front of him with confusion and shock on his face.
At this moment, a suspicious voice reached the ears of the two people not far away.
“Third young master, why are you here?”
Bo Zhijin got up from the ground angrily, patted the dust off his body, and then pulled both of them to a secret corner.
“Third young master, why did you sneak up here? Aren’t you afraid Mr. Bo will find out and break your legs?”
He Zheng frowned tightly, with a look of panic on his face.
Bo Zhijin made a shushing sound, put his arms around their shoulders, and whispered to them: “Oh, my house only had those annoying guys and no one to play with me. How boring!”
“What’s more, Luoluo is here, how could I not…”
“Third young master, stop playing around. We are going to discuss business; why are you fooling around here?”
He Zheng frowned and couldn’t help but interrupt him.
Seeing his excitement, Bo Zhijin quickly reached out, patted his shoulder, and gave him a wink.
“Hey, I’m here anyway, and you can’t turn around and send me back, so just let me stay here and I promise not to do anything.”
He Zheng didn’t fall for his trick and quickly shook off his hand.
“Third young master, you can handle your own affairs, but don’t rely on me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, He Zheng turned around and disappeared from the sight of the two.
“Harmful, dishonest guy.”
Bo Zhijin turned slightly, and under the setting sun, his sunny, boyish face gave Bai Junluo a feeling of déjà vu.
Only then did he realize that the person in front of him looked more like another person he had met before, Xingtong, the high priest of the mermaid tribe, than he looked like Bo Sijue.
Xingtong had a cold and aloof personality and was the most mysterious being in the mermaid tribe.
When Bai Junluo was a child, he got lost in the sea and was in danger. If Xingtong hadn’t saved him, he wouldn’t have grown so big.
His fathers said that Xingtong disappeared for four years in order to explore the secrets of the temple’s forbidden areas. When he came back, he locked himself in the temple and never came out.
Because of the life-saving grace, Bai Junluo often went to the temple to find him, and they gradually became familiar with each other over the years.
Feeling something hot staring at him, Bo Zhijin turned his head and saw the young man staring at him.
“Luoluo, what’s wrong with you?”
He reached out and shook the boy’s arm, his tone full of confusion.
Bai Junluo came back to his senses and said with surprise on his face: “Ah Jin, you look like someone I knew before.”
Bo Zhijin frowned and replied casually: “Luoluo, you’re not talking about my cousin, are you?”
“Well, no.”
Bai Junluo shook his head.
“That’s right! There are many people who look alike in the world, so there’s nothing surprising about it.”
Bo Zhijin waved his hand, looking casual.
“Luoluo, please accompany me to my cousin now! With you by his side, he will definitely not do anything to me.”
With that said, Bo Zhijin pulled Bai Junluo and ran toward the depths of the cruise ship.
On the way, Bai Junluo opened his eyes and stared at the boy beside him for a moment, lost in thought.
Was it really just a coincidence that Ah Jin and the high priest looked so similar?
The high priest was a mermaid that evolved from the Styx jellyfish in the deep sea, and Ah Jin was a human. They should have nothing to do with each other!
