God's Gift

Chapter 524 It doesn’t matter

Louis glanced down at the flashing dashboard, his eyes unreadable. After a long pause, he chuckled softly and casually changed the subject:

"Let's find the Dark Star itself first."

Lu Keming looked up at Lu Siyi, who nodded casually and turned to walk towards the deck.

"Wait." Before Lu Keming stepped out of the driver's seat, Lu Siyi suddenly called out to him. Under Lu Keming's questioning gaze, he pointed to the radar that was still detecting.

"The radar did not detect any signs of life in this area of ​​the sea."

“This is a…” Louis looked at the calm, azure ocean and continued, “The Sea of ​​Death.”

Following Lu Siyi's gaze, Lu Keming looked out the windshield. Under the gentle sea breeze, the deep blue sea was like a huge, undulating ribbon. The sunlight reflected on the sea surface, like countless white butterflies fluttering in the air.

If it weren't for the radar detection results, no one would imagine that there is no trace of life in this tranquil and beautiful ocean.

"You can ask your sea goddess wife; perhaps she will know the reason."

Upon hearing this, Lu Keming looked up at Lu Siyi, their eyes met in mid-air, and neither of them spoke again.

A commotion arose from the crowd, and the soldiers came up to the deck. They looked at the boundless ocean and the clear sky, and exclaimed in amazement.

Lu Keming withdrew his gaze and turned to walk towards the deck.

He weaved through the crowded throng, the sounds of soldiers talking constantly filling his ears:

Which ocean is this?

"I don't know, but we can go fishing again..."

"What time is it, and you're still thinking about fishing?"

Yu Youyou's figure was faintly visible in the crowded throng. She stood on the deck at the stern of the ship, her hands resting on the railing, gazing at the distant ocean.

Her long, flowing hair, like seaweed, fluttered in the wind, and golden sunlight fell on her fair cheeks, making her look like a sparkling gem.

Lu Keming stared intently at Yu Youyou's figure. He pushed aside the soldier blocking his way and walked straight towards Yu Youyou, ignoring the soldier's embarrassed and timid gaze.

He watched as she released the railing and slowly opened her arms in the sea breeze.

Lu Keming stopped in his tracks. He didn't disturb her, but stood behind her, quietly watching her back.

The noise behind him gradually faded away, and his world consisted only of Yu Youyou.

The scene, like an oil painting, was reflected in his eyes, gradually calming the restless emotions in his chest and even quieting the blood surging through his body.

His body became incredibly peaceful and serene at that moment.

After a long wait, Lu Keming stepped forward, hugged Yu Youyou from behind, and whispered, "Youyou."

"Hmm?" Yu Youyou responded, as if she had already sensed his arrival, her voice showing no surprise whatsoever.

Lu Keming didn't speak; he just quietly held her, buried his head in her neck, and breathed in her scent.

His warm breath landed on Yu Youyou's skin, making her shrank her neck from the tickling sensation.

Yu Youyou stayed quiet in Lu Keming's arms for a while, then suddenly seemed to remember something and spoke:

Doesn't this look like that?

"Hmm?" Lu Keming's voice was a little sticky, like a piece of soaked gummy candy, sweetly enveloping Yu Youyou.

He nuzzled Yu Youyou with his head, his voice laced with a lazy ease, and slowly asked, "Which one?"

Yu Youyou recalled a scene she had seen before and imitated it, saying, "You jump, I jump!"

Whenever a ship passes by, two humans always appear at the bow of the ship, embracing each other and shouting this sentence.

Lu Keming let out a few muffled laughs, burying his head deeper into Yu Youyou's neck. His soft hair trembled with laughter, rubbing against Yu Youyou's skin, making her shiver and shrink her neck.

She laughed and dodged, emphasizing, "It really looks like it!"

“Okay, very similar.” Lu Keming stopped laughing, his eyebrows curved, and he spread his hands on Yu Youyou’s arms, then tucked his fingers into her palms.

He pressed his face against Youyou's cheek, his voice affectionate and gentle:

"You jump, I jump."

As the sun gradually sets in the west, the temperature of the sunlight becomes milder, and the sea breeze carries a touch of coolness.

Lu Keming, holding Yu Youyou, stood in the warm glow of the setting sun, gazing at the ocean and sky gradually turning pink in the sunset, and suddenly spoke:

"Youyou..."

His voice trailed off, as if he had some question to ask Yu Youyou.

Yu Youyou turned her head to look at Lu Keming, "What's wrong?"

Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou. Her eyes, reflecting the clouds and the sunset, were like a dreamy crystal ball, so beautiful that one had to be careful when getting close.

"It's nothing." Lu Keming's lips curled up slightly, his cheek pressed against the top of Youyou's head, his voice softening.

"It's ok."

He wanted to ask her what Dark Star meant by her last words, but in reality, whatever they meant didn't matter to him.
