Chapter 1568 Chain Reaction
"No, it was me who suggested this trip. He is not in charge for the time being. During this period, Wonderpus and the others were directly managed by me. I saw that they seemed to have nothing to do, so I suggested that we come to the Maldives to rest for half a month." Lin Xian said, "The scenery in the Maldives is beautiful, and there are many fun places. I went to see the horse farm a few days ago. It was quite interesting."
"Can you ride a horse?" Lin Nian glanced at her.
"No, so I am very interested. Horses are indeed very spiritual. I took a fancy to a white foal, but the staff reminded me that it was the most untamed wild horse in the horse farm, but I insisted on trying it."
"What happened? Were you thrown off?"
"After opening the fence, I touched its forehead, and it knelt down very spiritually to let me get on, and carried me around the horse farm. Unfortunately, it couldn't run. The staff said that it seemed a little weak in the legs." Lin Xian said.
Lin Nian imagined a white horse that was usually so arrogant but had to work because of fear, carrying the woman in front of him for a walk in the stable. The scene must be very comfortable and leisurely, with the horse's hooves splashing gravel on the sand, and the stunned staff at the edge of the stable looking at the white horse that was more docile than a mule with a complicated expression of "You don't usually look like this."
"What are the arrangements next?" Lin Nian asked.
"I'm going to go sunset fishing in the evening. I heard that the traditional way of fishing in the Maldives is line fishing."
"What do you use to fish without lines?"
"No, it's just lines. There are no fishing rods. The locals are used to using something like a kite reel to reel in the line, and then they fish directly by the boat with the reel. It feels quite interesting." Lin Xian scooped a spoonful of yogurt into her mouth and gently licked the frozen taste. She turned her head to look at the white sand beach and jelly sea outside the restaurant. "I also made an appointment for deep diving, SPA and sunset cruise. It's not easy to come here. Try to experience it if you haven't experienced it."
"Are you really here for vacation?" Lin Nian asked seriously.
"Aren't you?" Lin Xian asked back, looking at Lin Nian with eyes as calm as the sea, "Why did you think of coming here?"
"I should ask you this question. Is there such a coincidence?" Lin Nian looked at her.
"Have you forgotten that my vacation here is scheduled for a month, so strictly speaking, I went to the island earlier than you."
"Why the Maldives?" Lin Nian asked.
Lin Xian did not answer the question directly, but shook his head with a slight smile, looking at the refreshing scenery outside with his head tilted.
Lin Nian remained silent.
He remembered the episode when he was a child, when he watched the cartoon of McDull and was fascinated by the island and holidays, and secretly hid the Maldives brochure of the travel agency, but was found by Lin Xian when he was cleaning up the garbage.
What did Lin Xian say at that time? He clenched his fist and encouraged him, saying, "Study hard, and when you are admitted to the university in the summer vacation, I will sell everything I have to take you to enjoy the feeling of an island holiday!"
Why the Maldives? Of course it is the Maldives. If it is a place for vacation, then the first choice can only be the Maldives.
It's not because the Maldives is so great, but this place carries a yearning for the past and a wish for a better life.
The sea breeze blew across the ocean, brushed past the coconut trees, and finally gently blew up the woman's hair. Lin Nian just sat at the table, looking at the inextricable textures on the tabletop under the sun, with some inexplicable emotions.
"Where's Su Xiaoqiang? You said you'd take her to the island for a vacation, so she should be with you, right? Is she still asleep in the room?" Lin Xian suddenly asked Lin Nian.
"No, Lu Mingfei and I came together, and she stayed in the academy to rest." Lin Nian said.
"Is that so?" Lin Xian nodded gently, "It's a pity. If she comes, I would like to take some time to sunbathe with her and chat with her, just like before."
"I will bring her here again when I have the chance."
Lin Xian held her cheek slightly, the sea breeze blew across the sea, caressed the coconut trees, and lifted her hair. She squinted at the boy at the other end of the table in the sun, "So how did you play with Lu Mingfei these two days? What specific activities did you play? Can you tell me?"
Lin Nian thought silently and replied, "Lying on the beach chair on the terrace of the room and doing nothing, watching the seaplanes take off and land."
This is what he likes to do most after coming to the Maldives.
Do nothing, think nothing, put away the parasol, expose to the sun, listen quietly to the noise of seaplanes taking off and landing in the distance, watch everything in the sun as if it were an overexposed photo, hazy in the white light, realize that today can be spent like this, tomorrow can be spent like this, and the feeling of being able to spend a whole week like this is simply sinking from the bottom of my heart.
There is a feeling of relief.
".You really should take a vacation." Lin Xian put down his hand that was supporting his chin, reached across the table, and gently stroked Lin Nian's cheek, but Lin Nian avoided it.
Lin Xian looked directly into his eyes, but he slightly turned his head and calmly avoided his gaze.
They shouldn't be so intimate now. If the barriers that were cut with great difficulty were repaired by a chance encounter, it would be difficult to confront each other again when they meet again on the battlefield.
It is right to keep a distance, refuse the sense of dependence, ignore the air with her, the space with a sense of security and familiarity, and go to the strangeness and disgust.
Lin Xian withdrew his hand.
Lin Nian quietly used his peripheral vision to look at Lin Xian indifferently, only to find that this woman was still sitting there so quietly, not showing any joy or sadness, just tilting her head slightly to look at him, not being affected by his actions in the slightest. On the contrary, he was His posture was too coquettish, like a child sulking and acting coquettishly towards an adult.
He looked expressionlessly at the seabirds stationed on the beach.
Really annoying.
"Since you are here, where is the emperor?" Lin Nian changed the subject, trying to make the atmosphere and topic as serious as possible.
The topic itself is indeed serious enough. If according to Elena, Lin Xian and the emperor are inseparable, does that mean that the person sitting in front of him now can be his former sister, or the mysterious emperor?
"Rest, He also has his own holiday, so He is not here for the time being." Lin Xian gently touched the caramel on the pudding exposed under the yogurt with a spoon, broke the crispy sugar shell, and tested the elasticity of the pudding underneath. and softness.
"He also takes a vacation?"
"Of course, didn't I teach you not to deliberately deify your enemy? The more terrifying you think of him, the less likely you are to win against him. Besides, isn't your Elena enjoying the same thing? Is this a rare holiday?”
Lin Xian gently put down the small spoon and looked into Lin Nian's eyes. At the moment when they looked at each other, Lin Nian felt that Lin Xian's eyes were so penetrating, and the dark pupils extended infinitely deep into the depths. It looked a bit sharp at the end, piercing his eyes to penetrate deeper into his spirit.
Lin Nian instinctively avoided Lin Xian's sight, and actually felt fear in his heart. Was he afraid of Lin Xian? That Lin Xian?
For the first time, Lin Nian felt the ultimate strangeness from this woman. It was a kind of intimidation, a kind of terror that he could not describe, a pressure that he had never felt on anyone or any species.
"Why don't you ask her to come out and have a chat?" Seeing Lin Nian's averted eyes, Lin Xian picked up the spoon and continued making pudding and asked casually.
That kind of pressure suddenly disappeared, like an illusion. Lin Nian looked up and saw Lin Xian who was concentrating on the distribution. He was silent for a moment and then shook his head, "She doesn't want to come out."
He did try to call Yelena, but the other party seemed to be dead and had no response.
"That's a pity. I also want to talk about the little noise she made on the side of the island that I noticed before." Lin Xian said, "It is very eye-catching and quite dangerous. If you have the chance, you still Please convey my message and tell her not to do this kind of thing again. It is very uncontrollable and can easily lead to accidents.”
"This is different from what she said." Lin Nian paused slightly, "She told me that it is not too dangerous and is quite controllable. It is just a way of using power."
"It seems this is not the first time that her and I have conflicted opinions." Lin Xian nodded slightly, "Then it depends on who you are willing to listen to."
"You know Yelena." Lin Nian looked at Lin Xian and pointed out this fact.
Lin Xian seemed to have known Yelena all along, and it was not the emperor who informed her of Yelena's existence. It was she who knew Yelena seriously and was acquainted with Yelena.
"We are old friends." Lin Xian admitted this and lowered his eyes slightly. The pupils under the eyelashes were shimmering with shredded light spots. "She and I have a history. Maybe you can ask She, I think some of the stories might be clearer if she told them herself.”
"I will ask her." Lin Nian said.
But obviously, he knew that even Lin Xian was unwilling to talk about the past, and Elena would probably be vague about it.
"Then again." Lin Xian's spoon made a large dent in the pudding, revealing the dark bottom of the cup. "The little movement she made before has some aftermath, have you noticed?"
"Aftermath?"
"Of course, what I'm referring to is more than just the resurgence of seawater destroying the island's green plants, facilities, and the loss of most of the high-quality beaches." Lin Xian looked at the soft pudding on the spoon and said, "What have you done? The movement seems to have shocked some big guy on the sea.”
Lin Nian suddenly raised his head, and a word flashed in his mind.
"That ancient dragon."
Lin Xian gently sucked the pudding off his lips with his tongue, and while chewing it gently, he said, "That's how some accidents happen. The random things that stupid people do will always cause unexpected chain reactions, which will make no matter what happens." Even those who are well prepared will be caught off guard.”
"How bad is the situation?" Lin Nian frowned.
"It seems that you don't quite understand what the power she showed you means, but in any case, the ancient dragon was indeed attracted by that power, and by taking action, he took the initiative to approach the source of the power explosion. , but don’t worry, that force is very characteristically destructive. It is just approaching because of curiosity, and will not land rashly. At most, it will linger a few sea miles away for a period of time.”
"Theoretically there shouldn't be any problem. At most, it will affect the passing seaplanes. However, since we are at the boundary of the Nibelungen at high altitudes, the seaplanes will successfully escape after being briefly affected by the storm. However,"
Everything has a but, and Lin Nian gradually realized that he might have gotten into trouble.
"But if there happen to be unlucky people sailing past or staying in the sea area where the ancient dragon wanders, they will be in trouble." Lin Xian gently tapped the edge of the yogurt pudding cup with his spoon and looked at Lin Nian. "And it just so happened that there was indeed a group of unlucky people in that sea area at that time. They should have been missing for more than twelve hours now, right?"
