God Invasion: It's awesome to save the world with five problematic girls!-Chapter 1109 - 318: Unsure if It’s a Jellyfish or Her (3)

Could it be that she wants to have some physical contact with me, like holding hands, but is too shy to say it?

Ah, this...

After you played so wildly under hypnosis, why act like a rookie when not hypnotized?

Is this right?

"..."

But as he turned his head, he saw her slightly lowered head, her black hair cascading like a waterfall, obscuring her eyes from the side view, leaving only her tightly-pressed lips visible.

At this moment, her budding appearance unexpectedly led Yan Huan into her novice version, making him feel uneasy at every turn.

Because, he unexpectedly found the current Ye Shiyu inexplicably cute.

Just like last time in the bookstore.

At this moment, she hesitantly lifted her hand, extended her slender fingers, and stammered,

"Comparatively, mine seems to..."

For some reason, looking at her like this, a mischievous impulse surged in Yan Huan's heart.

While Ye Shiyu was halfway through speaking, Yan Huan took the initiative to lift his hand and grabbed hers.

"Ah..."

Immediately, he felt Ye Shiyu's body straighten a bit.

Then, her icy, almost ice cream-like body temperature flowed into Yan Huan's palm.

Her body temperature was always so cool for some reason.

In the past, whenever she touched him, it would give him goosebumps all over.

But now, taking the initiative to touch her felt like enjoying an ice cream on a hot summer day.

Oddly, he wanted to pull her into his arms, holding her to cool off.

"Indeed, compared to mine, your hand is really small..."

Yan Huan teased, causing Ye Shiyu to start slightly, stealing a glance at him before turning her eyes away.

She just tightened her grip on Yan Huan's hand a little, and lightly nodded,

"Mm..."

Then, the entire back seat calmed down.

Neither of them let go of the other's hand, just trying their best to feel the contours and temperature of the other's palm.

Subsequently, the car passed over a speed bump, and the body swayed slightly.

Ye Shiyu, unconditionally like her namesake leaf, inadvertently leaned her whole body against Yan Huan's shoulder.

"..."

Yan Huan tried to look at her, but only saw her black hair nestled against him and her upturned nose.

"Hiss... hiss... hiss..."

Incidentally, out of the corner of his eye through the front rearview mirror, he saw the driver of the ride-hailing car, with red eyes, clutching his chest, gasping heavily.

Just like last time with An Le in a ride-hailing car, they had the same "I'm really happy for you" creepy expression.

"..."

...

...

Luckily, it wasn't long before they arrived at the station and got off.

After getting out, Yan Huan instinctively released Ye Shiyu's hand and surveyed the surroundings.

This is the North Sea District, also a prime spot for viewing the sea at Linmen.

Although Linmen is an artificial island nation theoretically surrounded by water, only the North Sea District and several Limen Islands have beach-like prime seaside views.

The rest are either ports, messy urban areas or blocked by some irregular city edges, none as good as this.

Behind him, Ye Shiyu's eyes revealed a hint of disappointment at being released from his grasp.

But now, there was no chance like in the car, for her to bravely speak up and hold Yan Huan's hand again.

"...Although I've been here many times, the North Sea District is really beautiful..."

Hearing Yan Huan's voice, Ye Shiyu came back to her senses and explained,

"Mm, there's a really nice ocean restaurant here, and then we can stroll around later."

"That sounds great."

As soon as Yan Huan agreed, he suddenly found this area somewhat familiar.

Looking closely, behind a patch of greenery in the distance, there was a vaguely visible particularly spacious private beach.

That place...

It seemed to be the beach at Sakuragi Ryou's villa, Sakuragi Hitomi's cousin, right?

They had been to Sakuragi Ryou's house for a birthday before, and Yan Huan remembered.

Yan Huan raised his eyebrows and looked to the nearer side of their direction.

This side was a luxury business district.

At the northern end of the district, a few scattered islands and the buildings on them could faintly be seen on the horizon...

Could that place be the location Sakuragi planned for that exclusive dinner?

No wonder it's so expensive, and the scenery so beautiful.

"...This place isn't cheap, is it?"

Indeed, the place Ye Shiyu brought him wouldn't be any ordinary small restaurant.

"Not really... over here, Xiao Huan."

Ye Shiyu cleverly changed the subject, leading him in a direction, indicating for him to follow.

Through a not-so-busy but brightly lit street, they arrived at a semi-built modern building on the sea, with glass cutouts.

The black-clad attendant at the front warmly smiled, and after Ye Shiyu's brief words, returned the smile, and opened the restaurant door for them.

It was only after the door opened that Yan Huan realized this restaurant was actually built underwater.

The glass and concrete half-built hall below allowed a clear view of the sparkling waves at sunset and the depth below.

In the lights outside the restaurant, fish subtly swam along to the classical music inside the restaurant.

The rich really know how to enjoy...

Scanning the beautiful surroundings, Yan Huan understood Ye Shiyu's taste even better.

She, like him, loved the sea too.

At this time, it was nearly dinner time, and many diners were already having their meal.

Seeing new customers, it was inevitable to steal glances and assess the newcomers.

Actually, there wasn't any specific meaning behind it, just seeing if any familiar faces were dining there, since most of them knew each other.

Yet, even with such benign glances, Ye Shiyu seemed eager to shield Yan Huan.

She abruptly grasped Yan Huan's hand, stepped in front, warding off others' gazes with her strong presence.

Yan Huan then suddenly realized:

Ye Shiyu really knows how to care for others.

And being by her side probably feels quite safe.

Because her presence was strong enough to encompass everything around, leading to a feeling of only sensing her, not others.

"..."

After doing all this, under the server's guidance, they arrived at a reserved window seat.

She first pulled out a chair for Yan Huan, then gracefully walked to the opposite seat.

"This is the first time I've seen the sea from this angle, how fascinating it feels."

While the restaurant prepared the dinner they'd pre-booked, Yan Huan leaned his cheek on his hand, gazing out the window at the ocean, and sighed.

"Mm, the timing is just right... any later, and there'd be nothing to see."

Though Ye Shiyu said this, she wasn't looking at the ocean but was staring straightly at the young man before her.

"Mm, it's truly rare... so peaceful."

In truth, what Yan Huan mentioned wasn't just about the dining environment.

He felt that being alone with Ye Shiyu was

something extraordinary, without any modifiers or fearsome feelings, only peacefulness.

"As long as you like it, Xiao Huan."

Ye Shiyu, not understanding his words, assumed he was praising the restaurant.

"Hiss, look quickly... jellyfish!"

Just then, while Ye Shiyu was gazing at Yan Huan, his expression suddenly changed, pointing to the window beside Ye Shiyu.

His gaze turned, and Ye Shiyu quickly shifted her eyes, looking outside the window to avoid being caught staring at him.

Looking outside the glass window, just in front of her, a crystal clear blue jellyfish drifted upward.

"Wow..."

Through her reflection on the window, Ye Shiyu blankly gazed at the jellyfish.

Then, she slightly lifted the corners of her mouth, revealing a serene and beautiful smile, saying to Yan Huan,

"So pretty..."

And Yan Huan, still rested his cheek on his hand, looking at the window in front of her; his gaze didn't penetrate the glass window, he only beheld the reflection on the glass.

He just gazed at the subtle smile revealed by the girl in the window reflection and, after a moment of silence, also nodded and said,

"Yes, very beautiful."
