Her Tentacles 97

Chapter 97: Afterword 6

Before studying how to transfer the [Reproduction] ability to Xuan Zhu, there were more pressing matters to attend to, such as how to spend her girlfriend’s important birthday on this newly emerged group of islands.

The person who had been half-squatting by the chair stood up again, extended her palm to her, “Do you want to go for a walk together?”

Shu Yao gladly accepted the invitation.

Getting up from the deck chair, she held her girlfriend’s hand, wanting to know what kind of scenery she had just seen.

The two of them walked from this sunbathing platform to the other side of the large house. This group of islands were all connected by smaller islands, so there were also small depressions on the islands that formed puddles, like scattered glass beads.

And also like the island’s eyes, gazing at the sky.

Shu Yao walked onto the silver sandy beach that connected the two islands, took off her shoes and walked on it. The fine, warm sand enveloped the skin of her feet. When she stepped on it, it sank slightly, as if she were having a special sand bath.

Lin Ran watched her walk all the way, leaving a string of footprints.

Then she stepped on the footprints she had left, following behind her, making the original marks even deeper.

The sea breeze blew Shu Yao’s light-colored long hair. She ran for a while under the setting sun, and before the sunset appeared, she turned back to look at Lin Ran, pointing at the water park in the distance and saying:

“Shall we go and play there?”

Lin Ran glanced in the direction of that island and nodded in agreement, “Okay.”

…

The inflatable boat carried the two of them, the paddles cutting through the clear blue water. They were like boating in the sky, and they stared at the seaweed floating on the water, and the plants and fish at the bottom of the sea, without any obstruction.

Shu Yao stretched out her hand and, on the bright-colored side of the boat, she drew a long, rippling wave with her fingertips.

It wasn’t until the boat reached the island where the park was located that she found that Situ Jin and Xuan Zhu were also nearby.

The hood that had covered the beautiful mermaid’s face had disappeared. At this moment, her long, bright silver hair was receiving the most sincere kiss from the sun, and her long tail, which was submerged in the seawater, swayed leisurely.

She clung to the boat Situ Jin was sitting in, glanced at the colorful park, and then looked at Shu Yao.

Although she quickly looked away, Shu Yao inexplicably sensed her longing from her gaze. She asked Situ Jin in confusion, “Does she want to go over there and play? Why don’t you take her?”

Situ Jin looked up at her, and also at Lin Ran next to her, and replied with a hint of meaning, “I would like to.”

Then she added, “Isn’t it no fun with fewer people?”

Shu Yao nodded in agreement. “Then let’s go together now?”

Hearing her words, before Situ Jin could react, Xuan Zhu immediately flicked her tail, and when the splashing water fell, she had already put on that loose black cloak again when she stood on the boat.

Then, she quietly pulled at Situ Jin’s sleeve, tugged, and then tugged again.

“Let’s go, let’s go.” Although she didn’t say a word, Miss Situ could no longer resist this kind of spoiling, and led her to follow Shu Yao and Lin Ran’s steps.

The high, colorful, large curves wound around the tropical jungle on the island, with flowing water inside. Whether one chose the short course, and rushed down from the highest point like a slide, or chose the long course, and was pushed by the water current, it was a good experience.

There was also a roller coaster that rose to the highest point, and could overlook the scenery of this island, as if gazing at this blue planet. When it swooped down and stirred up the water current, it could also give people a feeling of exhilaration.

Shu Yao saw that there was also a roller coaster here, and remembered that when she was a child and the school organized a spring outing, she and Situ Jin could only cling to the railing of the dangerous projects, looking up at the magnificent amusement projects that rushed to the sky, and their eyes were filled with envy for each other.

Coincidentally, there was also a roller coaster here.

Shu Yao, who had decided to make up for her childhood, turned to her friend and asked, “Let’s go? Let’s play ten or eight times.”

Situ Jin: “…”

She looked at the two monsters in silence, and also at her friend, who already had a monster-like constitution. For the first time, she realized that she was so ordinary, so fragile.

Fortunately, she had experience in extreme sports, and she was not afraid of heights.

By the time the roller coaster had turned countless times, and the few of them had gotten off, Shu Yao’s face had turned as red as the bright sunset in the sky.

Lin Ran walked out of the self-service cabin at the rest area on the side and handed Shu Yao a vanilla-flavored ice cream cone. Her tentacles were also holding the remaining few flavors and sending them toward Situ Jin and the others.

Situ Jin stared at her rarely revealed tentacles a few more times, her expression very strange. Then, a shadow that was staring at her with a deep, ghostly gaze appeared in front of her.

She smiled helplessly. “Okay, okay, I won’t look at her. I’ll look at you.”

Shu Yao was eating an ice cream cone on the side, and the taste in her mouth became even sweeter.

Tsk.

The domineering CEO and her introverted mermaid bodyguard are so cute.

Lin Ran sat next to her and ate ice cream with her eight tentacles. The human teeth and the tentacles’ fangs bit down on the thin ice shell together, making a crisp “crack” sound.

And then the tentacles also had to sigh with Shu Yao at this pleasant and cool summer day.

【Ah～】

【Delicious!】

Shu Yao was so cute by them that while the little couple were whispering, she turned her head and kissed Lin Ran on the face.

Not bad.

She and her girlfriend are also very sweet!

Lin Ran’s eyes became even gentler from her kiss. “Do you like it here?”

“Mmm!” Shu Yao, who had already had her fill at the water park and had made up for the regret of her last trip on the cruise ship, nodded vigorously.

Lin Ran asked again, “Do you want to go to a place you like even more?”

Shu Yao: “?!”

…

A little over ten minutes later.

She followed her girlfriend out of this park and arrived in front of a snow-white, unique house that seemed to have been carved out of a single giant rock with windows and doors.

In front of the house was a large, gem-like swimming pool with a view. The area connecting the pool and the house was paved with white and black pebbles. On the platform of the second floor, beautiful flowers of various varieties poked their heads out. Because it was not yet the flowering season, it was a lush green.

Shu Yao was still shocked by this house, which had a different style from the one on the island just now and was closer to nature. Lin Ran, who was holding her hand, had already pulled her along the pebble path and into the house.

The tentacles, which had just come out to eat ice cream, were not willing to go back obediently. At this moment, they seemed to have anticipated the content ahead and began to tremble slightly.

And then, when Shu Yao looked at them, they held back their smugness and swaying, and just kept calling her:

【Yaoyao! Yaoyao!】

Shu Yao vaguely guessed that there was a surprise in this house.

As she followed Lin Ran forward, she couldn’t help but let out a laugh and remind her, “What should I do? The reactions of this group of little traitors are about to betray you.”

“It’s okay.”

Lin Ran was very calm. “You can’t guess.”

Just as she finished speaking, Shu Yao had already stepped into the entryway with her.

While she was still trying to guess what kind of surprise Lin Ran had put inside, the first thing she saw was the interior of this house, which was actually the same as their home in Nancheng!

And it was also the layout when they had taken the house to the abyss together, as if they had once again taken the whole house out for a trip.

Everywhere were cute, fluffy little lights.

But between the little lights, there were countless rose petals and candles on the floor, and romance and warmth were integrated.

The candlelight was lit, and a path wide enough for two people to walk side by side was left in the corridor, leading to the stairs.

As if her home, and her family, had already prepared for her birthday, and were just waiting to welcome her, the only birthday star.

Shu Yao stood there blankly in the entryway for a while, already a little unresponsive due to her racing heart. But she saw Lin Ran standing by the side with her arms crossed, waiting for her for a while, and then she asked with a smile, “Is this place enough to make you like it?”

She nodded repeatedly.

And when she saw these, she had vaguely guessed that perhaps Situ Jin’s birthday invitation to her from the beginning was something she and Lin Ran had discussed with each other.

The reason why Situ Jin had not set foot on that water park with Xuan Zhu just now was also because this was a surprise she wanted her to experience first.

Seeing her nod eagerly, Lin Ran bent down slightly from the higher step of the entryway, touched her nose with the tip of her nose, and asked with a smile, “Do you like this house more, or the amusement park just now?”

Shu Yao blinked. “Of course, an adult likes both.”

Lin Ran raised her eyebrows meaningfully. “It seems there hasn’t been a choice that you like the most yet.”

She seemed to be sighing, but a tentacle had at some point rolled up a black silk ribbon from somewhere and handed it to her. And so Lin Ran unfolded it in front of Shu Yao:

“It seems I can only try my best to give you something even better?”

Shu Yao’s heartbeat had already begun to betray her joy at this moment. The position of her chest became bulging, as if if she were to bear another bit of the other’s love, it would overflow.

She turned her head away in embarrassment and said in a low voice, “This is good enough.”

“Not enough.” Lin Ran handed the ribbon to her. “Do you want me to help you tie it?”

…

Not long after.

As night fell outside the window, and the entire island was embraced by this gentle and beautiful night, Shu Yao, blindfolded, was led by her girlfriend, and was surrounded by her tentacles, and slowly walked forward.

She walked on flat ground, and stepped on the stairs one by one. She realized that she was walking downwards. Although she was trying hard to brainstorm, she couldn’t think of what could shock her in the basement or below.

Until she was in the slightly cool air, and was led to a stop by her girlfriend. “Are you ready?”

Shu Yao nodded.

And then, the knot of the ribbon behind her head was untied, and the scenery in front of her came into view—

Swimming schools of fish, red, blue, and silver, in clusters, gathered in this upstream sea area. In the light reflected from the house behind them, it was like a silent firework show blooming in the sea.

But that wasn’t all.

Shu Yao clung to the window in front of her, and tried to reach out to the scenery she saw. Only then did she find that she could neither touch the seawater nor any barrier, as if there was still a world outside.

So she poked her head out.

Like a little person in a crystal ball castle, wanting to explore where she was, she looked around in all directions.

At this moment, she was just poking her head out of one of the windows of this palace.

And then, she saw the beautiful red coral reefs below, and the clam shells with beautiful sea pearls in them, which were open among the coral reefs. And the area she was in was condensed from ice-blue bricks—

Under an island, like the shadow of a thorn, a blue castle pierced into the sea.

If someone were to look from a distance at this moment.

They would find that this inverted castle, and this vast expanse of beautiful scenery, were all enveloped by a huge, transparent bubble.

With the sea level as the dividing line.

Above the sea was the home Shu Yao liked the most. Below the sea was the microscopic ecosystem that Lin Ran had created bit by bit, as if in a beautiful, transparent glass bottle.

She had once received many, many beautiful bottles from her girlfriend.

And so now she was also returning one to her.

And this beautiful bottle could always be next to Shu Yao’s home, just like their closely connected love.
