Chapter 274 — A Feeling of Happiness
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
This area was a danger zone, frequented by sharks, so it had never been developed into a tourist spot. Its emptiness was only natural. But then Shen Yushu's gaze landed on the shark carcass on the beach. "Huh? Arrow Brand Bro, what's that thing? A dead fish?"
"A shark," Wei Zhao said flatly.
"A shark?!" Shen Yushu was startled and instinctively shrank back. She had been about to go take a closer look, but now she didn't dare. "Arrow Brand Bro, there are sharks here?"
"Yes. It almost ate you just now." Wei Zhao smiled. "But I killed it."
"You killed the shark? Oh, really? You're so cool!" Shen Yushu hadn't expected that Wei Zhao, while dragging her along, had not only swum to shore but also killed a shark. How badass!
"There's nothing to eat here except shark. If you want some, I'll roast it." Wei Zhao had noticed earlier that there was a patch of woods not far from the beach. There should be plenty of dry branches to gather—perfect for building a fire and roasting fish.
"Eat shark? Okay! Arrow Brand Bro, I've never had shark before!" Shen Yushu grew excited at the prospect. "What does shark meat taste like? Is it good?"
"Honestly, not very." Wei Zhao had eaten shark before and hadn't found it particularly tasty. Otherwise, so many people wouldn't catch a shark, cut off only its fins, and toss the meat right back into the sea.
"Oh, that's fine. I'm not picky—I can eat anything." Right now, Shen Yushu would be satisfied with anything to eat. Her stomach was completely empty and growling.
Wei Zhao nodded and set off to gather dry branches. After a couple of steps, he turned back and warned her, "Don't wander off, and don't go into the sea."
If one shark could show up here, a whole school of them might not be far behind. Wei Zhao had no desire to come back and find nothing left of Shen Yushu but a pile of bones.
"I know. I'll wait for you here!" Shen Yushu sat on the beach hugging her knees, waving cheerfully at Wei Zhao. "Don't worry, Arrow Brand Bro. I'll be good!"
Shen Yushu was suddenly struck by an illusion, as if she were a child playing house again. She felt like a wife seeing her husband off, listening to his instructions, then waiting peacefully at home for him to return at night.
A happiness she had never known welled up from the bottom of Shen Yushu's heart—sweet, and a little shy. Watching Wei Zhao's receding figure, though it was not especially imposing and even somewhat slight, in her eyes it was extraordinarily comforting. It was a sense of security.
If we could stay here forever, with Arrow Brand Bro, it would probably be fun, wouldn't it? Shen Yushu thought. But that was clearly unrealistic.
Yao-yao seems to like Arrow Brand Bro too. Sigh... Shen Yushu let out a soft sigh.
She was still lost in her wandering thoughts when Wei Zhao returned, a bundle of branches in his arms.
