Chapter 592: Extra: Accidental Fall into the Sea

On the second day after the cruise ship set sail.

Qi Muyu stayed in the rest area until the afternoon before she saw Chen Shunuo and the others come down one after another.

“How late did you guys play last night?” Qi Muyu looked at them, their eyes ringed with dark circles, looking like they hadn’t slept enough, and couldn’t help shaking her head.

She had developed the good habit of going to bed early and rising early; she wouldn’t be able to hang with them.

“Three in the morning, I’m dead tired.” Qu Mo, soft and boneless, sprawled on the table with a voice still heavy with sleepiness.

“Staying up late is bad for you,” Qi Muyu said as she poured them tea.

“I know it’s bad, but I just can’t control myself! You don’t know, I have to scroll through my phone for over half an hour before I can fall asleep in bed! I’ve never been able to break this habit, I’m beyond help,” Jiang An’an said with a look of despair.

Chen Jifeng was still okay, just a bit sleepy; although he didn’t have the habit of staying up late, it wasn’t like he couldn’t handle it at all.

“Why didn’t you play with us longer?”

“I’m used to sleeping at that time, I can’t stay up too late,” Qi Muyu laughed, “My family is strict.”

In reality, it was because she was too self-disciplined.

Her dad had the bad habit of insomnia, and her mom often worried that she would end up like her dad if she stayed up late too often.

So from a young age, she had cultivated the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, often exercising her body, running and such, and her mom even enrolled her in fitness classes like Tai Chi.

While other people’s kids were either dancing or learning music and other hobbies, she was doing Tai Chi or Judo.

She didn’t understand why when she was very young, but after entering middle school, Qi Muyu fully understood her mother’s painstaking efforts.

She was also very grateful for her mother’s foresight.

Even going to a school like that, she still saw her share of bullying incidents.

“Don’t you find it suffocating?” Qu Mo pointed at her and asked, “I mean, the fact that your parents are so strict with you.”

“Not at all, they’re doing it for my own good. They’ve walked so much more life’s path and know where the rough patches are. They not only warn me in advance, but they also taught me how to cope. Someday, I’ll leave their side and venture out on my own. That’s why they let me learn all the necessary survival skills in advance, so I won’t starve to death and won’t be bullied by others.”

Everyone didn’t expect Qi Muyu to say this, and they were all stunned!

Qi Muyu tugged at the corner of her mouth, “We’re boarding the ship tomorrow, and I’ve pretty much finished exploring Deep City…”

“You’re going back?” Chen Shunuo was taken aback, “Didn’t we agree to play until the start of school?”

“I want to go visit some other places.”

“Then let’s go together! We can’t just hang out and then leave you to wander off alone.”

“That’s right, that’s right!” Jiang An’an tugged at Qi Muyu’s clothes, “Mu Yu, are you bored? Tell us where you want to go, we’ll accompany you all the way!”

“Sure.”

Then several people stared at her, waiting for her to speak.

Qi Muyu was at a loss for a moment.

“Qi Muyu!”

An attractive voice came through with a hint of annoyance.

Qi Muyu turned her head along with everyone else and saw a beautiful girl in a light green mid-length dress, looking huffed as she rushed up to Qi Muyu. Her demeanor suggested that Qi Muyu had abandoned her as she questioned her, “Are you leaving? You’re not trying to run away, are you? You promised me something, are you trying to back out?”

Qi Muyu pressed her temples with a headache, “Lady Zhu, please solve your own problems, I don’t have the time.”

“What are you sneaking off for!” Zhu Jinhuan interrogated.

“I’m not sneaking off; I’m walking back to my room in broad daylight.”

“Leaving without my permission is sneaking off. I don’t care; you have to take responsibility for my issue.”

Qi Muyu frowned deeply, her face losing much of its patience, and her tone grew colder, “I can’t serve you, Lady Zhu; I’m powerless over your situation.”

To Qi Muyu’s eyes, Zhu Jinhuan’s behavior was nothing but childish!

Hearing their conversation, Chen Shunuo and the others were somewhat flabbergasted.

What was going on?

Chen Jifeng’s gaze swept back and forth between the two.

Lady Zhu is the treasured child of the Zhu Family, holding a high status whether in Deep City or Guang City.

It’s said that in this generation of the Zhu Family, only boys were born, except for Zhu Jinhuan, the girl, so she’s extremely pampered at home.

Not only that, but the Ying Family, which is very close to the Zhu Family, harbors Lady Zhu’s aunt.

“Qi Muyu!” Lady Zhu, her face turning blue with anger, gnashed her teeth and spun around, running off.

“What’s the situation?”

“That’s Zhu Jinhuan. When did you offend her, Qi Muyu? The Zhu Family’s influence is not small, and she is the darling of her family. If you’ve offended her, you’d better go and soothe her quickly.” Chen Shunuo had also heard some things about the Zhu Family.

So, seeing the situation, she became somewhat anxious for Qi Muyu!

Qi Muyu shrugged, “Don’t bother with her. She’s spoiled.”

Everyone looked at each other with uncertainty.

In the end, it was Chen Jifeng who indirectly informed Qi Muyu about the kind of existence the Zhu Family really was.

After listening, Qi Muyu showed no reaction.

“I didn’t do anything to her; on the contrary, it’s her Ladyship’s temper that flared up. It has nothing to do with me.” Qi Muyu stood up and walked out, “You all keep drinking, I’m going to take a walk outside.”

Once outside, she was greeted by the blazing sun, which stung her eyes.

A shadow conveniently blocked the piercing sunlight above, and Qi Muyu turned her head to see Fei Yan standing there.

Fei Yan stood sideways, looking to the other side, as if he had just casually stopped there and hadn’t noticed Qi Muyu below.

Qi Muyu just stood in place, not moving.

The two of them stood on different levels, yet in the same direction, for quite some time.

After a while, Qi Muyu suddenly looked towards him, “Fei Yan, have we met somewhere before?”

Fei Yan swiftly looked down, his eyes intensely dark.

He didn’t speak.

But his gaze made Qi Muyu feel strange.

Qi Muyu self-consciously touched her nose, “It’s possible I remembered wrong.”

You did not remember wrong.

But Fei Yan did not say this out loud.

*

The last night of the cruise ship’s voyage, and tomorrow they would dock at another pier.

Qi Muyu went out for air after playing cards with everyone for a while, realizing she still couldn’t stay in lively places for too long, feeling suffocated.

It could also be that there was nothing of interest to her here, which made her bored.

Fortunately, the cruise was only for three days; if it were any longer, she would be even more bored.

Under the night sky, the sea surface shimmered without a hint of wind.

The salty sea air came with the breeze, and Qi Muyu turned to walk back inside.

Two figures suddenly appeared on two levels above, and from Qi Muyu’s left, a figure suddenly emerged, “Dodge!”

The young man’s voice was urgent!

Qi Muyu instinctively shifted aside.

But she was still hit by the second blow!

Her hand…

Qi Muyu’s body leaned back, grasping at the air, catching nothing.

“Qi Muyu!”

As she fell, Qi Muyu heard the young man’s alarmed shout and the sound of him desperately running…

“Splash!”

Qi Muyu’s entire body plunged straight into the salty sea water.
