Interlude: An Invitation That Cannot Be Reached

I somehow felt like I was living in a fairytale dream where a mermaid rescued me from the sea.

Fang Ran woke up hazily on the beach, and then saw Gou Yu's helplessly sighing expression.

"Xiao Huo?"

"You're awake, Captain?"

Feeling the warm sand beneath him, the previously azure and magnificent underwater world still faintly lingering before his eyes, Fang Ran sat up feeling dizzy and confused, then looked at the beautiful coastline under the sunset's afterglow, and spoke with speechless sweat-drops:

"Wait, just how long have I been asleep?"

"Captain, you drank a stomachful of seawater and Sister Ye Sheng rescued you ashore, for about an entire afternoon. But Resurrection Jie said that since you're still recovering anyway, you wouldn't catch a cold, so she used her ability to let you sleep a little longer."

Hey, it's not a matter of whether I'll catch a cold or not, right!?

Staring speechlessly at Gou Yu, he then collapsed with a sigh and pressed his brow, lamenting that he had actually wasted an afternoon of precious entertainment time.

No way! I have to go ride a jet ski again!

Then Gou Yu suddenly handed something over to his side, making Fang Ran pause slightly.

He discovered it was his Nokia phone.

"When we went out, we found that you left it on the bed, Captain."

Ah, right, because that guy directly flew a helicopter over, making him too shocked and leaving it forgotten on the bed...

"Ah, thanks."

"Captain, would you like something to drink?"

Scratching his head and muttering a thanks as he took it, Fang Ran then heard Gou Yu ask, pondered for a moment, and revealed a mature man's bar expression that said you know.

"A cup of Xuan Mai Gan Jie with ice."

"There's no such thing."
