Chapter 58(1/3)
When she got home, Chen Jingyan went out again. Shi Li took this opportunity to look down at her wrist and seriously thought about the meaning of the above petals for the first time. Since the first world, every male supporting role disappeared, and there was a little more trace on her wrist. Now that the last petal is missing, it has completely turned into the shape of a flower.
She had always thought that this was a sign of the success of the mission, but if she thought about it carefully, the mission was actually successful when she traveled through time for the first time, otherwise she would not have successfully jumped to the next world every time and finally returned to reality. But there was no trace of this at that time.
Shi Li frowned. As she thought about it deeper and deeper, the petals on her wrist began to burn again. She looked at her wrist wonderfully, closed her eyes and felt it carefully. She found that although this burning sensation could not be ignored, it did not cause her burning pain, as if she was carefully controlling the force.
The petal mark controls the strength of the petal marks itself, which sounds terrifying. Shi Li was amused by her imagination. She just laughed and her expression gradually faded. She remembered that although the mission of the first time travel was successful, the previous world still existed when she jumped into the world, but this time it was different. As the hatred of the male supporting players disappeared, the world and the male supporting players also disappeared, and then this petal was found.
...So this petal is really their symbol? Shi Li felt like there was a stone pressing on her heart, and it was difficult for her to breathe. It would be useless to think more of her. Why not ask the system directly: Are the male supporting roles in these worlds the same person?
―The system does not have permission to answer this question, but hereby reminds the tasker to focus on the task itself, solve the current dilemma as soon as possible, and return to reality as soon as possible.
Shi Li Yangmei: If they are not the same person, you can just say it, because in my current perception, they are not the same person, but now you say that you cannot answer this question, which means that even if they are not the same person, they are related to each other, right?
After she asked, she waited patiently for the system's answer, but the system took a long time to give a sentence: The system has no permission to answer this question.
It seems that's it! They are connected! Shi Li suddenly became clear in his head, and the past flashed through his mind. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that although the male supporting roles had different personalities, they often had similarities when they were with her. If you only use the same experience, this reason would not be explained at all.
Her heart was pounding, and she felt that they were the same person, and then she felt that they were from the same author, and even if there were similarities, it was normal. The more she thought about it, the more she became more and more afraid, and she was excited about the details she slowly discovered, and was afraid that all the thoughts were wrong, which in the end would be erased the characteristics of everyone.
The love given by the male supporting roles is too surging. Since she brought all these loves back from the system, her whole spirit has become a string, and she is at risk of being crushed at any time. So when facing the male supporting role in this world, she is always unable to be as unreserved as when she had no feelings before.
She knew this was unfair to Chen Jingyan now.
Shi Li's brows became deeper and deeper. When Chen Jingyan came back from the water, he saw her sitting on the bed with a stern face, as if thinking about something big in life.
Chen Jingyan paused and walked over: "What are you thinking?"
"I miss you." Shi Li said casually.
Chen Jingyan smiled: "Why is it so sweet today?"
Shi Li came back to her senses, took a light breath, temporarily suppressing those upset thoughts, stretched out her hand to him like a spoiled person, Chen Jingyan picked up the man with a well-trained training.
"You haven't been back for so long, have you been getting me sea water again?" Shi Li asked on his shoulder.
Chen Jingyan responded: "Although the beef is not fat, I still have to consume it after eating so much, so I will get some sea water for you to soak it well. Don't worry, I didn't go either. I gave the people at the dock a gold coin. He pulled us a cart, and I just took it back from the Central Street."
Since they moved, Shili has not been to the sea much, nor is he allowed to go to the sea. He knew that she was still minding the sea witch, so he was very obedient. The two of them have not approached the sea so far.
But although he has lived on the sea for most of his life, he has nothing to get used to when leaving the sea. However, the time is different. She is a marine creature, and leaving the sea for a long time is a very painful thing. Although she has always acted like land more, he knows in his heart that no matter how much he likes land, he cannot leave the sea for a long time, just like he always has to go back to land no matter how he is used to the sea.
She refused to go to the sea, so he dug a large swimming pool in the yard of his home and often poured fresh sea water into it so that she could have her own ocean on land.
When Shi Li heard that he had bought sea water for himself again, he couldn't help but kiss his face gratefully: "Thank you, but I'll remind you again. You can ask others to help you get water, but don't you allow yourself to go to the beach?"
Although they have always said that the sea witch will not take the initiative to hurt people and will only get something through transactions, Shili always feels that its ability to bewitch people is definitely first-class. So for safety reasons, they should not contact it except when they need to pay tribute to jewelry every year. What if they commit suicide by being fooled?
"I know, I've always listened to you, right?" Chen Jingyan hugged her and walked out. "The boy who kept getting water for me changed into a new cart. Today I pulled four buckets of sea water to fill the entire pool. I can fill it up. Wait for me to make sure you wash it comfortably."
Shi Li held his neck with amusement and tears. When he put it on the small stool next to the swimming pool, he sat obediently and watched him remove the bucket from the cart. The big bucket filled with water was very heavy. Even if he was very strong, it would take a lot of effort. Shi Li only saw his two rough hands holding both sides of the bucket, and with a loud shout, all the muscles were mobilized, tightening the lines and exerting force.
There were four buckets of water on the cart. When he moved to the third bucket, he had already started sweating. The sweat on his forehead dripping down his cheeks. After it condensed into sweat drips on his jaw, it fell down and silently split on his chest.
Shi Li swallowed silently, a little absent-minded.
Chen Jingyan didn't know that he was coveted and was still working hard to move water. After filling the entire swimming pool, his clothes were completely wet with sweat. Shi Li swallowed his saliva again.
"Okay, go and have a tour." Chen Jingyan wiped his sweat casually and said to her.
Shi Li blinked and walked silently to the pool. Her legs turned into fish tails as soon as they were touched by water. She jumped in directly. When she was wrapped in sea water, she unconsciously felt joy, and then looked up at the man next to the pool, facing his smiling eyes.
Shi Li's heart moved and swam towards him: "Do you want to come down?"
"No, I'm sweating all over my body." Chen Jingyan refused.
Shi Li seemed to have not heard it, and continued to extend his hand to invite him: "The sea water is very comfortable, come and try it."
"No need..." Chen Jingyan was halfway through his speech, and suddenly noticed the little hook in her voice. He paused and narrowed his eyes, "You know, if I go down, it will be more than just swimming."
"...Well." Shi Li's cheeks turned red, and she didn't dare to look at him again, but the corners of her lips were always raised.
Chen Jingyan chuckled, took off all his clothes, jumped into the water with a thud, and grabbed Shili before he could stand firm. Shili couldn't help laughing because of his quarrel, and climbed his neck and stroked his envious muscles.
"Do you like it?" Chen Jingyan asked in a hoarse voice.
Shi Li's eyes were shiny, and he looked at him and said frankly: "I like it."
Chen Jingyan lowered his eyes and chuckled: "It seems that I am not fat. Xiaowu is lying to me."
"I like you too if you are fat." Shi Li said sweetly, playing hide-and-seek on his eight-pack abs.
Chen Jingyan looked at her quarrels and narrowed her eyes slightly: "If I was so fat that I had only one piece of my belly, and raised high like those drunken men, would you like it?"
Shi Li was silent for a moment and kissed the corner of his lips with a compliment: "Eat less in the evening in the future, and you are not allowed to steal beef again?"
Chen Jingyan laughed, pressed her against the pool, and bit her hard on her lips. Shi Li snorted lightly, and hugged his shoulders with both hands, unconsciously leaving traces on the extremely explosive muscles.
The two of them went back to their room after a long time. When they came out, only half of the water in the pool was left. When Shili woke up the next morning, Chen Jingyan had silently cleaned the pool.
"...A gold coin was used for a whole night?" Shi Li was speechless.
Chen Jingyan went over and kissed her in the face: "It's okay, I'll buy it for you today."
"Even if I buy it, it won't work tonight." Shi Li glanced at him warningly.
Chen Jingyan paused: "Don't you feel very happy?"
"...I refuse to talk to you about this topic." Shi Li glanced at him, turned around and left the yard to open the store.
Chen Jingyan was unwilling to bother him. Shi Li was so angry and funny that he was entangled by him. Seeing him acting like a scoundrel, he suddenly felt like he was coincidental with the male partner in the previous world. As soon as this thought came up, her thoughts instantly became dazed.
"What are you thinking?" Chen Jingyan asked suddenly.
Shi Li suddenly came back to her senses, laughed dryly and shook her head: "It's okay, nothing."
Chen Jingyan looked at her in confusion for a long time, but in the end he did not ask any further. Instead, he accompanied her to count the books and opened the door to do business together. When the sun sets, he closed the door and went out for a walk together, and came back to bed at night.
Their lives seem to be repeated, and they are doing the same things every day, and there are almost very few major changes. The days when they don’t sail are always less exciting, but Chen Jingyan likes his current life very much. Every day he is with Shili is completely new and strange for him, making him wish he could record it one by one with a pen.
Shi Li also likes her current life very much. She gradually has less contact with the system. Apart from occasionally thinking about the relationship between male supporting roles, she spends her rest of her time living her own life with Shen Jingyan.
This kind of life has passed in a blink of an eye, and it is time to pay tribute to the sea witch again.
Several days in advance, Shi Li prepared all the gold coins and jewelry. After carefully counting, he confirmed that there was no less than before. Then he locked the box with confidence and handed the key to Chen Jingyan.
"Apart from these, how many more do we have?" Chen Jingyan asked.
Shi Li smiled and said, "There are still seven thousand gold coins, which is enough for our wealthy life."
"I didn't expect the antique business to be so profitable. It seems that I won't have to go out to sea in the future." Chen Jingyan said with a smile.
Shi Liheng glanced at him: "But you must be prepared for danger in times of peace, be more diligent in the future, earn more money and save money when you are old and don't do business."
"A lifetime..." Chen Jingyan said this word.
Shi Li nodded: "Yes, you have to think more about it. Who knows whether the business will be good or not in the future? If we suddenly go bankrupt when the seventh and eighty-year-old suddenly go bankrupt, we will go out to sea to find treasures for the sea witches at that time, it will be unrealistic to think about it."
"You're right." Chen Jingyan laughed.
Shi Li looked at him strangely: "Why are you laughing at?"
"It's okay, I just like the word 'lifelong'." Chen Jingyan's raised lips could not be put down.
Shi Li smiled and tiptoed to his neck: "Then I will say it a few more times, a lifetime of life..."
Chen Jingyan couldn't help laughing.
Shi Li couldn't laugh and cry: "Do you just like that?"
"Yeah, I like it very much." Chen Jingyan rubbed her hair.
Shi Li imitated him and touched his hard hair: "Then I will tell you every day from now on, and you will be happy to me. Let's live our lives together... I will love you more and more. Although I can't regard you as my favorite person, I believe that if I give me a few more years, I will definitely love you the most."
After more than a year of observation, she felt that all male supporting roles were the same person. They had such similarities except for their little tempers and scoundrels. Shi Li really couldn't ignore these things. Although this idea was not very certain, Shi Li decided to believe it.
Believe it, just treat them as the same person, so that I can dare to bring the memories of the past and love the person in front of me with my past. She chuckled, and his eyes were full of his figure. Looking at his stunned expression, she smiled and walked into the room with his arm in her smile, and said as she walked: "This is the first time I imagined what happened when I get old. If you are so strong, you will be a muscled old man in the future, but I can't do it anymore. I will become loose and ugly."
"No, the age of a fish can only be seen from its size. There will be no change in other places. At that time, you may just grow older, and other places will still be the same as they are now." Chen Jingyan comforted.
Shi Li glanced at him with a slight look: "Is there anyone who comforts people like you?"
"Isn't what I'm telling the truth?" Chen Jingyan asked back.
Shi Li couldn't even say anything to refute, so he simply ignored his sentence and continued to imagine the future: "My legs may be out of strength by then. You have to push me to walk in the garden and repeat the same life as you are now. Although it is very dull, I think if you are with you, you should live such a life without any troubles. What about you?"
Chen Jingyan: "…Huh?"
Seeing that he was a little absent-minded, Shi Li let him go unhappily: "I ask you, do you think it's annoying to repeat your current life with me for the rest of your life?"
"I haven't thought about it for the rest of my life... but I think it would be a great thing if I could be together until old," Chen Jingyan spoke carefully, as if it was the first time I thought of this, with a faint melancholy in his eyes. "If I could be with you for the rest of my life, it would be great, but..."
"But what?" Shi Li asked curiously.
Chen Jingyan had a faint smile on his face: "But you said you will become the one who loves me the most soon."
"Yes." Shi Li nodded.
Chen Jingyan laughed when he heard this, but the smile could not reach the bottom of his eyes. After a long time, he said bitterly: "My biggest wish before was to become the person you love the most. Seeing that he was about to succeed, why did you tell me the concept of life again, which made me realize that there was a better choice."
Shi Li didn't quite understand what he meant, and his brows frowned slightly: "Do you think this time has been too long?"
"No, I just..." Chen Jingyan's expression was a little complicated. "I always thought that you must love me the most, but when you said this, I suddenly realized that compared to this incident, I looked forward to the future with you more."
"These two things have nothing to do, you can expect them together," Shi Li smiled, "and if they can happen, it would be great. You don't have to sacrifice your soul after death, but you can achieve the two wishes of becoming the one I love the most and living with me for the rest of my life. Isn't it a good thing?"
