Shi Xiaonian raised her head and saw Gong Ou dressed neatly in front of her. The stubble on her chin was removed, and she had become much younger, with her eyes staring at her in the dark night while holding onto a set of clothes that covered the sea.
Black and blue.
Shi Xiaonian stood there in a daze for a while before reacting, "Right now, at night?"
"Now is the time!"Gong Ou raised his chin.
"It's very dangerous to dive into the sea at night, and I haven't dived into it yet." Shi Xiaonian really didn't want to lurk at all. She wanted to properly plan for the proposal of marriage.
"One, I've already sent someone to check the water. It's very safe."
"…"
"Second, with me by your side, what are you afraid of?" Gong Ou looked at her with the suit from the deep sea."…"
Shi Xiaonian was speechless.
"Go, go." Gong Kui and the children ran to their side and clapped their hands, "Mom, remember to get me the biggest shell.""But …"
"Hurry up and change your clothes, why are you saying so much!"
Gong Ou didn't allow her to retreat, and grabbed her hand as he walked in the direction of the wooden house.
Along the way, Shi Xiaonian found many excuses, and all of them were rejected.
Obviously, she had to go down to the bottom of the sea tonight.
"You haven't had a good rest yet." Shi Xiaonian who had finished putting on her clothes said.
"Have a good rest!"
Gong Ou stood behind her and checked her clothes, carefully and meticulously, reaching out and tying up her long hair.
What the hell.
Shi Xiaonian sweated, "I'll do it myself."
After she tied up her hair, Gong Ou walked in front of her to check on her collar, and said, "After you enter the water, don't separate from me. If you feel any discomfort, give me a hand signal, I will bring you ashore immediately, do you understand?"
"Will the sea look better at night than it does during the day?"
You can see better during the day.
"Why are you so long-winded, just follow me!" Gong Ou confirmed that her clothes were not damaged in the slightest and pulled her out.
At the seaside, everyone was merrily chasing each other.Blue glowing creatures lined the coastline. It was the most unique scenery of the night.
After equipping the goggles and oxygen, with the help of a few servants, Shi Xiaonian slowly went into the water.
The water was not too high, and her long hair was tied up.
She turned her head and looked up from the water. Luo Qi and the children were standing there, looking at her.
Shi Xiaonian shook her head at them, swinging her legs and retreating back, getting further and further away from them.
Gong Kui seemed to be shouting something excitedly, so she couldn't hear clearly.
Gong Ou quickly swam to her side and accurately grabbed her hand.
The seawater at night looked crystal clear black, and occasionally, glowing sea creatures would swim past them, causing Shi Xiaonian to realise that she was a member of the ocean.
This feeling was extremely wonderful.She reached out her hand to touch the glowing creature, but failed. She could only watch as it slipped away.
Suddenly, lights came on.
Shi Xiaonian turned his head in surprise. She saw that Gong Ou's head had been lit up with an eye-catching light, which could clearly illuminate the direction in which they were heading.
She poked her head again and again, but couldn't find the light switch.
Just when she wanted to drive Gong Ou deeper into the lake, she was pulled by him.
To be honest, she was somewhat afraid, because the sea was unknown to her.
Breathing in the oxygen and swinging his legs out of rhythm, the two of them dove deeper and deeper into the water. A group of cute little fish swam past them.
She wanted to dive in slowly and observe her surroundings more, but Gong Ou seemed to have a destination as he brought her all the way down.She didn't have time to appreciate more.
After an unknown period of time, Shi Xiaonian took advantage of the light on her body to gaze upon a place that was overgrown with water grasses. The water grasses floated, and each and every one of them stood upright.So beautiful.
Shi Xiaonian exclaimed as she swam over and silently appreciated it.
Was this the end?She wanted to ask Gong Ou, but she could not make a sound, so she gave up.
Her line of sight landed on a shellfish that had been mixed with water grass. She could not tell what kind of shellfish it was, but she could see that the shell's surface was as white as a pearl.
Thinking about Solanum nigrum's request, Shi Xiaonian swam over and pulled the water shell out.
When she looked up, she saw Gong Ou floating in the water. His black eyes looked deeply at her through the goggles.
She shook the shell in her hand with some pleasure, her eyes curved into crescent moons.
Gong Ou approached her, using his head to bump into her, the two of them looked at each other and laughed, and in the next second, he raised his thumb to the right and pointed, indicating that he should continue swimming.
Shi Xiaonian nodded.
Gong Ou held her hand. With him leading the way, she didn't feel that it was too tiring.
This time, he swam a bit longer.
Shi Xiaonian looked at Gong Ou who was standing in front of him with a strange expression. Why did it seem like he really had a reason for doing this?
She had no idea when she would be underwater.
Only when he was a little tired did Gong Ou stop and hold her hand tightly.
Using the light, Shi Xiaonian looked ahead, only to discover that there was the outline of a mountain, and many caves appeared in front of them.What is this?
A rock that sank with the sea?Gong Ou brought her swimming over. Due to the pressure, both of them were floating, Shi Xiaonian carefully went closer to the cave, freed his hands from the rocks, and slowly lowered his body, pretending that he could stand.
What a big cave.
There were many different colored shells attached to the stone wall, making it the most unique type of painting.
Gong Ou pointed inside the cave. Shi Xiaonian was surprised, you still want to go in? Was it dangerous? Was he sure it was dangerous?
Gong Ou insisted on going in, and held her hand tightly once more.
The cave extended deeper inside, and there was a long and winding passageway that stretched out without an end.
The two of them swam inside hand in hand. Along the way, Shi Xiaonian saw shell jars, shell bowls, and even some traces of cloth that were stuck onto the stone wall.
Could it be that a few years ago, there was someone living here, only that the sea sank later on?
The deeper he went, the deeper the space became.
Closer.
Shi Xiaonian just saw a big cave inside, there were pillars, beams, and even a stone bench, all showing signs that someone had lived here before.
It was similar to the arrangement of the Sacred tooth bay.
In the center, there was a statue of a fish. It was different from the statues in Sacred tooth bay, the statue had an opened stone book in its hands.
Shi Xiaonian swam over curiously, her hand resting on the statue's body as she looked at the stone book.There were chiseled words on it.
She had never seen such words before, but there were two rows of engravings under it, as well as someone's signature in Alva family.
She suddenly understood that this place was also a part of the Sacred tooth bay.The two rows of words in English were —
"The happiest person, welcome to Sacred tooth bay, I give you my best wishes."
Shi Xiaonian laughed, she wanted Gong Ou to come and look too, but he suddenly saw him walking around the stone pillar alone, and he did not know what he was doing.
She turned around and looked around. Suddenly, she noticed that there were words engraved on the surrounding stone walls.
Shi Xiaonian felt a sense of novelty, sshe opened up her hands and swam over, holding onto the stone wall to check one by one. Each paragraph of the strange characters was accompanied by the English left behind by the ancestor of the Alva family, he did not know if it was real or just a casual inscription.
She looked at them one by one.
[Leia amp; David, blessed by God, the Moon as witness, the Sea as ally, for all eternity.]
In the middle of the two names was a large gem.
Shi Xiaonian swam towards the left and found that the words here were about the same.
[Hillamp; Abel, Blessed by God, the Moon as witness, the Sea as Alliance, for all generations.][Ate amp Baird, blessed by God, the moon as witness, the sea as ally, for all eternity.]
She looked at them one by one.
Oh, she understood now, this should be the place where the Sacred tooth bay had always loved. Mermaid statues were the gods they worshipped, and every couple had left their names here, embedded their own keepsakes, such as gems, stone leaves, shells …They believed that they would be blessed by the gods to live in peace and happiness.
Shi Xiaonian looked at the many words written on the stone wall. She could imagine that when it was bustling, a simple couple would bring their faith and blessings to the mermaid statues.
It was so beautiful.
When she got back, she would definitely paint this scene.
Shi Xiaonian continued to walk forward, when suddenly she saw a glittering object on the stone wall in front of her. She swam over and saw it was a small Papyrus korshinskii embedded in the stone wall, and it was even emitting a faint light made of an unknown material, as if it was about to spread its wings and fly.
There was actually a Papyrus korshinskii used as a token of love here.
Uh, so long ago, did the people on the Sacred tooth bay know what a Papyrus korshinskii was?
Shi Xiaonian was startled, her fingers touching the stone wall, her gaze looking up from the Papyrus korshinskii, and saw another paragraph of words., you have received the blessings of the gods, the moon as your witness, the seas as your alliance, for all eternity.?
"…"
Shi Xiaonian was stunned, her fingers sliding down.
Only then did she realize that the inscriptions here were very new.
She turned her head in surprise, wanting to look at Gong Ou, but she saw another deep mark slowly appearing on the stone wall.
[There is only one path in Gong Ou's life, the one path named Shi Xiaonian's path.]
She reached out to touch it. There was no mark, only a flash of light.
That was holographic image.
Gong Ou could actually make such a lifelike holographic image in the water.
She floated in the water, staring at him.The illusory image continued to appear on the stone wall, and it did not stop there. It continued to appear word by word.
[I don't care if my body is covered in blood from being pierced by thorns. As long as I can continue walking down this path, blood is sweet.]
Shocking text.
She looked at every word, and her heart almost stopped beating. Gong Ou had done so much, could it be to...
As if to confirm her thoughts, another row of words appeared on the stone wall in time.[So, Shi Xiaonian, marry me!]
Shi Xiaonian's mind went blank.
