After resting for a night at the hotel in the Ocean Resident Village, Su Yuan and Lillie went to the boat port early the next morning, preparing to take the boat back to Melemele Island.
The blue waves are rippling, and the white hull is slowly leaving the port. The morning sun is not as harsh as the midday sun, and the temperature is just right on the body.
Under the sea-colored sky, bird-type Pokémon can be vaguely seen soaring among the clouds.
A colony of long-winged gulls and large-billed gulls lies parallel to the sea surface, with sharp eyes searching for prey lurking on the seabed.
"Whoosh——"
A large-billed gull swooped down from the string, its wide beak like a fishing net, fished it out of the sea, and after flapping its wings and taking off, it filtered the excess seawater from its mouth.
"Quack~"
Obviously, this big-billed gull did not catch any prey this time.
"Whoosh puff puff——"
The sound of falling water continued one after another.
There were several more large-billed gulls/long-billed gulls, imitating the previous large-billed gull, but they all returned without success.
It is puzzling that the large-billed gull community that did not catch prey did not seem too disappointed.
“Quack quack!!”
You can even hear some joy??
If Su Yuan could fully understand "elvish language", then he would definitely have black streaks all over his head now.
Big-billed Owl A: Today is also a day of hard work!
Big-billed Owl B: You should be rewarded for your hard work!
Winged Gull A: Why not go to the pier and order French fries!!
As a result, a large group of seagulls prepared to attack.jpg.
"call......"
The smell of the sea breeze was slightly salty, messing up Lillie's hair.
Lillie was half leaning against the railing, with the sun hat on her head slightly raised, revealing the shadow of a nebula-colored spherical creature.
"Mogu."
Little Nebula held a pink Poké Cube in her hands, eating it in small bites, looking at the world on the sea with longing eyes.
It also wants to fly freely in the sky like these bird-type Pokémon.
When the time comes, I will take my parents wherever they want to go!
Hey hey~
In Little Nebula's fantasy, she must be quite handsome when she grows up.
"Mogu!" "It's decided!"
Xiao Xingyun's non-existent brows were raised, and her eyes were a little firm.
When I grow up, I must become a Pokémon that makes my parents proud!
"Hiccup~"
So it burped.
I had a little too much for breakfast.
The sun fell on Cosmogu's body, casting a hazy layer of gold, which was both cute and tinged with a sense of sanctity.
The sea breeze blowing is just right.
Little Nebula had eaten and drank enough, her eyelids began to tremble, and she felt sleepy.
Woo...
What happens when you grow up...
Let’s talk about it when we grow up.
The sun hat was put back on, and Little Nebula was nestled in the hat on Lillie's head, snoring softly.
"Moguzzzz..."
Lillie raised her right hand and straightened her messy hair.
My mood is much better than last night.
Just looking at the Pokémon on the sea seems pretty good.
There is a feeling that can make people calm down.
"Puff-"
The giant-winged flying fish struggled to jump out of the water, and the splashes reflected light in the air, leaving behind a colorful halo.
Lillie adjusted her posture slightly, placing her left hand against her head, and her right hand resting on the railing somewhat casually.
Where the sun shines, the ring finger on your right hand shines brightly.
On it, there is a ring inlaid with heart scales.
Heart scales are a gift in the couple's package.
In terms of polishing and production, the master on the cruise ship was responsible for it.
Although the service girl's sales pitch was the main factor.
But Lillie felt... Su Yuan must have noticed that she was in a low mood, so she asked the jewelry master to make it specially in order to cheer herself up.
Well, that must be the case.
After all, Su Yuan...has always been such a gentle person.
Lillie is working on her own strategy.
But...
What made Lillie more confused was the attitude of the waitress who was responsible for delivering the completed "Heart Scale Ring" later.
Waitress: "Please be sure to wear this ring on the ring finger of your right hand!!"
Heart Scale is not an expensive item, and the ring made from it is naturally not as good as those expensive luxury goods, but it is indeed exquisite.
Lillie quite liked it.
Without thinking, she subconsciously followed the waiter's instructions and put it on the ring finger of her right hand.
Then he asked very cutely, "What does it mean to wear it on the ring finger of your right hand?"
The smiles on the service staff's faces became even brighter.
"Wearing a ring on the ring finger of your right hand will bring good luck."
The service lady said: "It will also slightly reduce the harassment of 'pests'."
"So...it's not an exaggeration to say it's a "talisman"~"
Lillie was dubious and nodded blankly.
My mind is full of questions.
Would anyone really think of a ring as a talisman?
"But her attitude was really weird at that time."
Looking towards the sea, Lillie hesitated for a moment and then made up her mind, "Let's ask Su Yuan later."
He should know.
and......
After all, this ring was also given to me by him...
If he also wants me to wear it on my right ring finger, it's not impossible to just wear it like this.
Quite comfortable.
The hull moves forward slowly, the sound of the motor and the waves symphony.
Su Yuan looked at the electronic map that came with the ship and saw that the journey was already over halfway.
Lillie did not continue to choose to stay near the railing, but chose a position with a better view. When she turned around, she could see the blue sea and sit down to rest.
The back of one shoulder was slightly open and placed on the thigh, and the regular breathing sound of Little Nebula could be heard from inside.
Lillie held her phone in both hands, taking care of the sleeping little Nebula, and didn't know what she was reading.
"There must be something weird." Su Yuan thought to himself.
Ever since she first came out, Lillie's eyes have been glancing in her direction from time to time.
Although Lillie was very covert, she still couldn't hide it from Su Yuan's perception.
And when he "accidentally" and deliberately caught Lillie's gaze, the latter would look away as if she was frightened.
"This girl must be hiding something from me!" Su Yuan was very sure.
The perspective returns to Lillie's side.
To be on the safe side, Lillie decided to look up the meaning of "wearing the ring on the ring finger of the right hand" online before asking Su Yuan.
The answers she found made her a little dizzy.
"Wearing a ring on the ring finger of your right hand often represents a couple who are passionately in love."
"Or is it......"
"Engaged!"
They are all some incredible words.
Any single word can completely empty Lillie's health bar.
Love, couple, engagement, etc...
The shocking words made Lillie's thoughts begin to wander.
Unknowingly, his eyes rested on the ring finger of his right hand in confusion.
Then he moved away as if frightened.
Still, not bad......
Lillie patted her chest in fear.
Fortunately, I didn't ask Su Yuan directly.
Otherwise that scene...
Just imagining it a little bit made Lillie feel full of shyness and embarrassment.
You have to take off the ring quickly.
However, when Lillie actually moved her left hand to the ring, an inexplicable emotion called "resistance" arose in her heart.
Woo...
Wearing the ring here without the consent of the giver... is obviously not allowed.
but......
What if Su Yuan doesn't know the meaning of the ring finger on his right hand...?
This idea came to me suddenly.
No, no, no, no, no.
Lillie, Lillie.
Lillie was suddenly at war with heaven and man.
You are so despicable like this.
But, but...
"System prompt: Lillie is in a state of confusion."
Lillie, who was caught in a tangle, murmured softly to herself from time to time, looking quite cute.
It actually made Su Yuan on the side a feast for his eyes.
"I didn't feel anything before..."
Su Yuan touched his nose and couldn't help but recall the hug at the Rilun Altar.
At that time, it was just a subconscious action in order to block the nebula.
But when Lillie really leaned her head on his shoulder, and her warm breath kept coming to her neck.
Although he didn't want to admit it, to be honest, he was really heartbroken at that time.
"Bah, bah, bah."
Su Yuan shook his head, repeating "empty is form, form is emptiness" in his mind, and looked away.
It looks like riding on two boats or something!
He didn't want to think about what day he would be beaten to death by Xiaoguang.
"Lalu~"
The young Laplace secretly left the group to play while his parents were still awake.
Going around and around, sometimes floating on the surface of the sea, sometimes diving into the bottom of the sea to chase behind a school of weak tench.
It's completely different from the usual feeling of staying in a group.
Time passed by in a flash, and it was only now that little Laplace was shocked to find that he seemed to...have left the familiar sea area?
In other words, it is lost!
"Lalu lalu!!" Little Laplace shook his head from side to side, his immature voice shouting anxiously to the surroundings.
With a sound of "pia~", the red carp jumped out of the water. Under the action of inertial force, it crashed into little Laplace's body.
The powerful tail fin hit little Laplace on the head twice, and then fell into the ocean again.
Encountering a sudden attack, little Laplace felt even more aggrieved.
"Woooo..." His smart dark eyes were covered with a thick layer of mist.
Woo woo woo...
I will never go out alone again.
Little Laplace stubbornly raised his head, forcing himself not to let tears fall.
Unknowingly, a small passenger ship passed by little Laplace.
Little Laplace's body suddenly froze.
It’s that familiar and kind look!
Little Laplace turned his head expectantly and saw the human being whom he had a chance encounter with.
The grievances in my heart seemed to have found an outlet.
Little Laplace approached the passenger ship and buried his head in the arms of the human standing by the railing.
"Lalu lalu——"
Su Yuan looked confused. Although he didn't understand what happened, he hurriedly comforted the little guy.
It's okay to say it's not comforting.
As soon as Su Yuan said her comforting words, little Laplace's crying suddenly became louder.
Big tears kept flowing from his eyes.
Fortunately, this passenger ship is small, and few people choose to go out to sea in the morning. Except for the staff in the cockpit, there are only two people on the ship, Su Yuan and Lillie.
Otherwise, Su Yuan felt that he might be regarded as a suspicious person who bullied young Pokémon.
Little Laplace cried for a long time, but Su Yuan's comfort had no effect at all.
Fortunately, in the end, Lillie fed little Lapras the Poké cubes that little Nebula used to snack on, and the situation improved.
"Lalu lalu~"
Little Laplace immediately threw himself into the arms of someone else.
She rubbed the palm of Lillie's hand with the little protruding horns on her head.
Su Yuan was speechless, looking at his shirt that was wet with tears, and then at little Laplace who was rubbing Lillie intimately...
Su Yuan: "Stare——"
At a young age, he learned how to get close to women.
Don’t learn from the good ones, just learn from the bad ones!
No wonder skills miss continuously!!
Lillie scratched her little face, her expression was a little embarrassed, and she could only laugh and said: "Ha...hahaha..."
Fortunately, little Laplace is not completely without "conscience".
After getting "slightly" close to Lillie, little Laplace's eyes rolled as he recalled the scene when he first met Su Yuan.
"Pfft——"
Little Lapras has become extremely proficient in the "Water Gun" move.
Caught off guard, Su Yuan was shot all over his body again.
The top was completely soaked, including the pants.
Su Yuan looked up at the sky with a look of despair.
Why am I always the one who's hurt?
"Lalu?" Little Laplace tilted his head cutely, not feeling discouraged at all.
He was like this when we first met!
But that's okay......
Little Laplace slightly opened the distance between his hips and the hull of the boat, raised his head, and had a proud smile on his lips.
This time, I will definitely surprise you!!
because...because...
After I mastered this move, everyone in the tribe was praising me!
Humph, ordinary people of the same race are still unable to master this move!
Little Laplace held his head high and sang softly like a siren. The rhythm changed from calm and melodious to high-spirited.
On the calm sea, the water suddenly flowed upward and gathered above the head of little Laplace.
Su Yuan's eyes changed slightly, thinking of a certain skill.
"Stop, stop, stop..." Su Yuan interrupted quickly.
If Little Laplace really uses the Bubble Aria, with his current control over the moves, there is a risk of overturning the passenger ship if he is not careful.
Fortunately, little Laplace's move failed.
The gathered sea water, after losing the support of water energy, splashed all over little Laplace.
The embarrassed look looked very much like Su Yuan who was soaked all over.
One person and one beast looked at each other and saw their own appearance in each other's eyes.
Then he laughed in a tacit understanding.
Seeing such a man and a beast, Lillie looked quite helpless. She silently took out a dry towel from her shoulder bag and helped Su Yuan wipe the parts of her body that were wet with sea water and tears.
Obviously sometimes it is so reliable, but sometimes...
But like a child.
Lillie shook her head and continued wiping subconsciously.
Wait until the wiping process is halfway through.
Lillie suddenly realized what she was doing.
The ring on the ring finger of the right hand reflects the light of the sun.
The meaning it represents is imprinted in her mind, and she can't get rid of it no matter what...
