Chapter 484: Returning to Jiangzhou

The thing Sheng Hanyu hates most is being deceived by someone, bar none.

Yet now, he is being spun around by two women.

Yafei did not notice that he was overly calm, or that there was anything amiss.

She was simply immersed in her own world, unable to extricate herself, repeating over and over, incessantly rambling that she could not lose Yano; if he left, she would die!

"If you want to die, then go ahead and die; living is just a disgrace!" A roar suddenly came from above Yafei's head, but the person scolding her was not Yano, but Lao Ya Tou.

Lao Ya Tou had seen his daughter's behavior over these past few days.

It would be one thing if it were just ordinary times, but tonight she had actually committed such an outrageous act; this was something Lao Ya Tou had not expected, and something he absolutely could not accept.

Although the old man had not seen much of the world in his life and was often protective of his own, he could distinguish right from wrong when it came to matters of great principle.

Since "fair competition" had already been decided, going back on her word halfway and even wanting to harm someone's life—this was something Lao Ya Tou could not tolerate!

He was very angry and gave his daughter a thorough scolding.

He scolded her for having no one in her eyes but Yano, for living without a self, and without family.

If it weren't for her, Yamu would not have died, but her mother's death had not made her alert; instead, she had become even worse...

Lao Ya Tou scolded for a long time, and only after he had scolded enough did he remember to go and see if Shi Youxuan was still alive.

And if there was any possibility of saving her!

He ran to Shi Youxuan's room; the quilt was already more than half-stained with "blood," and even the floor was stained red, which was shocking to look at.

However, he lifted the quilt—there was no one inside!

There was only a human shape made of pillows and clothes, and inside the clothes were wrapped several huge fish bladders; what was inside the fish bladders didn't matter anymore, in any case, it wasn't a person.

Lao Ya Tou let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as if he had survived a disaster.

For the first time, he felt that the woman being cunning was not a bad thing; at least she could protect herself, and it also prevented his daughter from causing an irreparable consequence due to a moment of confusion.

Yafei slumped to the ground; she had been played.

Yano looked at Yafei coldly, his gaze lacking its usual warmth.

But he did not lose his temper; he just told Yafei to come with him, saying he had something to tell her.

The two went to the seaside and sat on the beach.

A crescent moon hung in the sky, and the bright moonlight cast a cold light on the seaside.

Yano broke the silence first, and his opening words sent Yafei to hell: "Yafei, actually I have always treated you as a younger sister; I have never had that kind of feeling for you that a man has for a woman."

Yafei trembled uncontrollably, and said faintly: "You have that kind of feeling for her, right?"

Yano was silent, hesitated for a few seconds, first nodded, then shook his head, and said: "I don't know either, but being with her is very pleasant and very intimate."

There was no need to say anything more; these two sentences were enough to show Yano's attitude.

She knew she had lost, lost completely.

Yafei began to cry for the love she had lost.

Yano handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears; the handkerchief was embroidered with orchids, which Yafei had specially embroidered for him.

This handkerchief was from when he had just arrived at the Island, and Yafei had embroidered it for him.

At that time, he had suffered a very serious head injury and could not get out of bed; even eating required him to lie down and be fed.

It was only through the careful care of Yafei and Yamu that he was able to survive!

Everything he did for the Fishing Village and the Ya family, although it was to repay a debt of gratitude, was also done willingly.

Yano just hadn't expected Yafei to fall in love with him; he had actually always treated Yafei as a younger sister.

If only they were just family, they would surely be a loving family, instead of the way things were now.

He decided to leave.

Although Sheng Hanyu had not yet remembered things from the past, he had already spoken to his former friends and relatives via phone and video.

No one pressured him or instructed him on what he should do!

Everyone only asked him if the Fishing Village had any difficulties.

What kind of help did he need?

If he needed anything, just say the word, and he would have whatever he wanted!

Shi Youxuan was the same.

She never used the child in her belly to threaten him to go back, nor did she talk about how hard things were for her.

Shi Youxuan carried her big belly and worked with him for the Fishing Village; she was smiling every day as if she were full of energy, and she didn't complain about bitterness or fatigue even when rising early and returning late, to the point that even a workaholic like him couldn't bear to watch.

The way of getting along with Shi Youxuan made Yano feel very relaxed.

Moreover, her humor, wit, and all her quirky ideas made him feel familiar and close.

There is no harm without comparison.

Yafei's personality was originally excellent, but after returning from the Island, her personality changed drastically; the way she looked at him was always cautious, for fear of making him unhappy.

Occasionally, there was nothing wrong with what she said, and he didn't think much of it, but Yafei would explain for a long time.

Just as she said herself, Yafei pinned all her hopes for the rest of her life on Yano!

He was her heaven, her everything.

Once a woman pins all her hopes on one man, she will lose herself, become anxious, and live in constant fear.

Such love only makes a man unable to breathe; it is hard to bear even without comparison, let alone with a woman as excellent as Shi Youxuan being compared right in front of him.

One is selfish and petty, always playing little tricks to achieve her goals.

The other is open-minded and generous, clearly occupying the moral high ground, yet never deigning to use these advantages to make things difficult for him.

He did not deliberately compare, but the balance in his heart naturally tilted toward Shi Youxuan.

If this hadn't happened today, Yano would still be hesitating, thinking of waiting a while before telling Yafei, waiting until her emotions were more stable.

But she had actually gone insane and wanted to kill Shi Youxuan, so Yano made up his mind to put an end to this matter; it could not be dragged out any longer.

"Ahem..."

He cleared his throat: "Yafei, I cannot marry you, I am sorry."

"Mm."

Even though she knew this would be the result, hearing it come directly from Yano's mouth still made her feel very bitter.

"You are a good girl, and in the future, a good man who is a match for you will surely fall in love with you." Yano gave Yafei the "good person" card.

"Mm."

Yafei was very well-behaved in front of Yano, agreeing to everything he said.

The next day during the daytime.

The Fishing Village set out a long banquet to see Sheng Hanyu off.

Everyone was very reluctant to see him go, but there is no banquet in the world that does not come to an end; those who must leave will leave sooner or later.

Over these past few days, the villagers of the Fishing Village and the sailors from the cruise ship had forged a deep friendship, and now that they were leaving, everyone brought out their best wine and most abundant food to treat them.

The banquet lasted from noon until evening, and there was still no sign of it breaking up.

The villagers took turns offering toasts to Sheng Hanyu, thanking him for his help to the people in the village, and urging him to come back and visit when he had time, and not to forget everyone!

Sheng Hanyu indicated that he would not forget everyone and would definitely come back to see them in the future.

Although he had drunk quite a lot of wine, he was still able to keep a clear head.

This was because Shi Youxuan had played a little trick on his wine bottle—Sheng Hanyu's wine bottle had been mixed with a lot of water, so he could drink it dry without getting drunk!

Besides promising everyone that he would definitely return, Sheng Hanyu also gave some instructions to the young people in the village.

He urged them not to slack off on their training during the days he was away.

The Pirates had only been beaten back last time and were not wiped out root and branch; there was no guarantee when they might launch a surprise counterattack, so the village's security work was of vital importance!
