Chapter 541: Chapter 541: The Benefits of Dating

Song Yunuan stared at Gu Huai’an and frankly expressed her thoughts.

"I’m not afraid of other people’s objections or questions. The world is so big, there’s nowhere I can’t go, and I’ll live well wherever I am."

Gu Huai’an, of course, believed in the truth of Song Yunuan’s words.

He said, "I know you’re capable, and you can live freely and happily anywhere, but do you have the heart to leave these people behind?"

Song Yunuan moved forward slightly, with a box between them; at this moment, Gu Huai’an had already wrapped this antique-filled box back to its original state.

Song Yunuan might have the strength, but she lacked the patience for such meticulous work.

So it was Gu Huai’an who had opened and carefully checked each one before wrapping them up again cautiously and meticulously.

Song Yunuan propped her chin in her hands and lay on the box, watching Gu Huai’an without blinking.

A man focused on his work is indeed the most handsome.

This time, Gu Huai’an didn’t beat around the bush but directly asked Song Yunuan, "Didn’t you hear what I just said? And why are you looking at me like that?"

Song Yunuan’s eyes were clear, a hint of enchanting light slashing across them with the sea breeze.

A few moments later, Song Yunuan finally spoke leisurely, "Of course I can’t bear to leave them. As for why I’m looking at you, it’s because you’re good-looking."

Gu Huai’an: ...

He knew this girl was just teasing him; she didn’t care about others’ opinions, just like the casual words she had just spoken.

Gu Huai’an half-smiled, half-seriously asked, "Since I’m so good-looking, don’t you have any other thoughts about me?"

Song Yunuan narrowed her eyes. On this deserted island without a third person, Gu Huai’an was indeed bold.

Suddenly, Song Yunuan stood up.

With a swift movement, she was already standing in front of Gu Huai’an, who had also risen.

She pointed a finger at Gu Huai’an’s chest and then moved it downward.

Gu Huai’an’s reaction was naturally quick since he was already prepared, and he promptly caught Song Yunuan’s restless hand.

Song Yunuan exclaimed, changing the way she addressed him—not as ’big brother’ in her heart anymore, but calling out directly.

"Big brother, why are you holding my hand? Let go quickly, men and women should not touch hands so casually."

Gu Huai’an was already somewhat tense, his heart pounding.

The small hand in his palm was white and delicate, soft to touch, prompting him to recall the classical poetry description—hands as tender as yu, skin as creamy as fat.

But now, it was Song Yunuan’s exaggerated reaction that made him chuckle.

It was indeed a unique talent of Little Nuan.

His hand did not let go, but instead, he looked at Song Yunuan more intently.

"Little Nuan, you’re of age now, a college student, and it’s fine for you to date. Tell me, are you interested in dating?"

Song Yunuan touched her cheek with her other hand and said earnestly, "My face doesn’t seem to have a fever."

Gu Huai’an: ...

Should I even continue asking?

But as the arrow was already on the string, he had to shoot it. Since he had already opened his mouth, it was time to make things clear with Little Nuan.

He looked intently at Song Yunuan, his expression extremely serious, word by word, "If you want to date, consider me first. I promise to be at your beck and call."

Song Yunuan blinked repeatedly. Gu Huai’an was really bold today, daring to say such things—probably because there were no others around.

"What’s the benefit of dating?" Song Yunuan stared straight at Gu Huai’an. "Tell me, what are the benefits of dating?"

But Gu Huai’an just shook his head. How could he articulate the benefits of love while sitting face to face with Little Nuan like this without feeling embarrassed?

[Big brother, don’t you know? You can kiss, hug, and lift each other up.]

Gu Huai’an decided not to discuss this issue anymore.

He reached out and ruffled Song Yunuan’s hair, suppressing his turbulent emotions, and spoke tenderly, "You’re a smart girl. You must know what’s in my heart, so why bother to spell it out? I would feel embarrassed too."

Song Yunuan finally laughed out loud.

Gu Huai’an reluctantly let go of her hand.

His eyes and brows were tinged with a blush.

For some reason, the atmosphere between the two seemed a little different from before.

How to put it, there was a sweet feeling deep within the heart, spreading throughout the body.

This feeling started from deep within and extended to every part of them.

Song Yunuan also felt very happy.

Although she didn’t know what being in love was like, she knew that talking with Gu Huai’an like this was actually quite pleasant.

It was different from talking with anyone else.

If this was what being in love was like, she thought it probably wouldn’t be bad.

She smiled at Gu Huai’an.

Gu Huai’an also curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled back at her.

Feeling happy, she felt especially light and buoyant, and in high spirits, she moved about on the spot, then said to Gu Huai’an with her fists ready, "How are we going to move these chests? Should the two of us carry them together or should I shoulder them by myself?"

Gu Huai’an: ...

Let a girl move these chests? What are all these big men here for, to be decoration?

"They’ll be here soon. I just went to the ship and sent them a telegraph."

The escort ship had been following behind all along.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the shadow of the escort ship appeared in the distance.

Hong Xia also came along.

Mei Ruoqing was with her as well.

The rest were a dozen or so team members.

Hong Xia, pulling Mei Ruoqing with her, ran to Song Yunuan’s side and asked in astonishment, pointing at the several large chests, "Is this the gold, silver, and jewels left by the pirates? How did you find it?"

Song Yunuan pointed to the large stone that had been lifted, "Brother Huai’an said he wanted to roast crabs for me, then he lifted this big stone. Indeed, there were quite a few crabs hidden inside. But unexpectedly, there was something buried underneath."

Hong Xia clapped her hands together, "Then since we found it, it’s ours, right?"

It was no secret, so Gu Huai’an simply told them what was loaded inside and then asked everyone to be very careful when moving the chests.

Upon returning to the big ship, they quietly moved the chests into the secret storage room in the ship’s cabin.

Gu Huai’an sent a telegram to his family.

Old Master Gu heard the content of the telegram at once and immediately went to find Murong Feng, excitedly telling him that the antiques had been found.

By now, both the gold and the antiques had been found.

The two of them had finally settled a matter close to their hearts.

He had thought about telling Old Master Qian, but considering he was faking illness in the hospital, he was so angry that he decided not to inform him.

Old Master Gu sent a telegram to Gu Huai’an, telling him to take good care of Little Nuan.

Gu Huai’an, who received the telegram, was following Song Yunuan’s instructions to grill seafood.

Genuine grilled squid sizzled on the iron plate, and the aroma immediately filled the entire deck.

It made the others sniff the air and look over.

Some people started fishing over there.

On such a sea, a seafood feast was incredibly easy to come by.

Hong Xia was cooking seafood congee.

Although they were still on high alert, the task was almost complete, and everyone relaxed a lot.

By now, Venom Fang had returned everything, including Hea Yunfei.

Hans organized the follow-up, and the supply ships continued sailing towards Dragon Kingdom.

Kurt Gymm still wanted to come along, but he had been injured and needed time to recover.

Kurt Gymm’s cousin, shocked by the experience, decided to return home with Hans.

With that arrangement set, Song Yunuan and her team needed to return in three days.

According to the itinerary, it would take a week to reach Beidu.

Xia Xindong had arrived in Beidu, waiting for Little Nuan and her group to sail back.

Old Master Gu awaited the day when the antiques would see the light of day again.

Others also waited for the safe return of the food supplies.

Lin Haoze was waiting too.

He had no interest in studying, and ever since he saw his father embrace a female student, he was eagerly awaiting Sister Little Nuan’s return to tell him what he should do...
