I was full of expectations for the future.
No matter what, I had to cure cousin Moâs illness first so that the shadow of the Phoenix Blood could be dispelled.
I had several memories of drifting on the sea. They were all gray and painful. I had never felt so comfortable before.
My youngest uncle, Qu Hao, cousin Mo, and Jing Tian had regular meeting times every day. They were very busy.
The few of us girls worked and then had fun on the ship.
I liked to bask in the sun on the deck.
Xiao Yi was the most considerate. She gave me a sun umbrella and prepared drinks, snacks, and books.
I felt like I was on vacation.
Ye Qian saw me as soon as she walked up from the cabin. She couldnât help but sigh. âYouâre the best at enjoying life.â
I motioned for her to come over for some sunshade and snacks. âIs cousin still in the meeting?â I asked her.
âYes.â Ye Qian sat down beside me and declined my snacks.
I took a sip of my drink and let out a long breath. âI was thinking that if I just kept floating on the sea like this, I actually quite like it, even though it sounds a little selfish.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ye Qian chuckled. âThatâs easy. Iâll prepare a yacht for you. You can go over whenever you want.â
âYe Qian, youâre really too rich!â I lazily said.
âMoney is just a worldly possession. Why not spend it if youâve earned it?â Ye Qian smiled. âThat is what Master San often says,â Ye Qian added.
I sighed in admiration. âCousin Mo really knows everything!â
Ye Qianâs face was filled with happiness.
I lowered my voice and told her, âLittle uncle is preparing for your wedding!â
Ye Qian blushed. âShouldnât he and Mai Qi get married first?â
I smiled. âIf we were to hold our wedding one by one, it would be really lively. Then, itâd be Qu Hao marrying his little sister, Jing Tian marrying his niece, and finally Cousin Mo and me. Itâs so chaotic. Why donât we hold a group wedding?â
Ye Qian pursed her lips and smiled without saying a word.
I thought, âWe donât even have a decent elder, so weâll have to leave this matter to Auntie Lan and Auntie Bai Rui.â
Ye Qian reached out and tapped my forehead. âWhy do you spend your time thinking about these pointless things always?â
I retorted, âHow can it be considered pointless? This is our lifelong happiness!â
Ye Qian suddenly sighed softly and looked towards the sea. She muttered, âNanxing, I have an unreal feeling. How can I have such happiness? Why does it feel like a dream? Iâm so worried that Iâd wake up, and all of this will disappear.â
I reached out and patted her hand. âDonât be like this. I think you have some PTSD. Ye Qian, donât think so much about it. Isnât Ye Qian just a person who will do anything to achieve her goal? I mean that as a compliment.â
Ye Qian smiled. âNanxing, thank you!â
I dug my ears. âPlease, donât thank me anymore. Itâs making me like such an outsider. If you continue to treat me like this, I wonât be able to be your relative or friend in the future.â
She smiled but didnât say anything else.
She was like a new Ye Qian. She was in a similar mood as I was when I had just been reborn. Therefore, I silently remembered all the good things that I had obtained with great difficulty after my rebirth.
