Chapter 336: Chapter 159: Have a drink with uncle!

Gu Tongshu looked up in shock, only to see a sea dog youth steadily hovering above the water and his daughter trying hard to open her eyes wide against his chest.

She wasn’t the least bit scared; facing the light, she stretched out her arms vigorously and suddenly let out a string of laughter like silver bells.

"Wow! Su Huai, I’m flying!"

The surging tide of worry was mitigated by Su Huai’s stable flying posture, and in its place, a strange sense of sadness and pity arose.

Two thoughts surfaced in his mind at the same time—

That kid is actually reliable?

It’s been so long since Yueyue was so happy...

The two divergent thoughts were not at odds; the former was essentially about the safety of his daughter, and the latter was essentially about the joy of seeing his daughter’s unrestrained happiness.

He was still that same doting father.

Wang Gang was very observant, signaling the captain to slow down and then asking Mr. Gu quietly, "Mr. Gu, shall we still head over?"

Gu Tongshu rubbed his cheeks vigorously, without responding.

So Wang Gang got it, raising his hand to signal the captain to stop the ship and wait.

Mr. Gu is a very prideful man; he would never verbally admit "Unwilling to disturb his daughter, therefore, let the puppy show off a bit longer," which would be equivalent to admitting defeat.

But he really didn’t want to disturb his daughter now, so he needed his assistant to take the initiative and get it right.

Did Wang Gang handle it correctly?

No one knows at this point.

On the cruise ship, Andy and the others were dumbstruck.

"Is that... is that Mr. Gu?"

"Strange, why has he stopped?"

"Doesn’t want to disturb the young lady?"

"No way, with Mr. Gu’s personality, he would never allow the young lady to play such a dangerous and thrilling game..."

"Su has got guts, barely complimented him for being sensible and he’s already playing so dangerously."

"It’s not like that, as long as she doesn’t fall, it’s actually not that thrilling for the young lady."

"I just want to know, why didn’t Mr. Gu stop her?!"

The reason they couldn’t understand was that they were too far away to see the smile on Gu Jiuyue’s face.

Gu Jiuyue was different; he clearly saw the unprecedented brilliance on his daughter’s face, heard her cheerful laughter, and felt a vibrant and positive life force from her freely waving arms.

Gu Tongshu really hadn’t seen his precious daughter in such a state for many years; how could he stop her?

Can’t stop her at all, you know?

But he also couldn’t understand, how could such a thing make his daughter so happy?

Was it because of the thrill?

Doesn’t seem like it.

For most people, this kind of airborne thrill would indeed be exhilarating, but Gu Jiuyue was different.

Her vision problem was due to optic nerve atrophy, so she lacked a sense of distance and space and never experienced the emotion of fear of heights.

—Everything blurs after a few meters, and looking down from a height, the world below is just a foggy blur; what’s there to fear?

With the lack of fear, the sense of thrill is greatly diminished.

So Gu Tongshu didn’t understand, couldn’t figure it out, didn’t believe, and just felt certain that the puppy must have bewitched his obedient daughter with some sort of charm; otherwise, she definitely wouldn’t be that overjoyed.

He guessed right.

Before taking off, Gu Jiuyue indeed had a conversation with Su Huai, and at that time, she was already mesmerized by the pre-flight setup.

At that moment, Su Huai was sitting sideways on the jet ski, testing the flight board, starting to slip his feet in.

Gu Jiuyue was pleasantly surprised: "Su Huai, you learned how to do it?"

"Yeah~~~"

"Just from that little while the day before yesterday?"

"Not just then, I also practiced after you went to rest yesterday."

"Wow... you’re amazing!"

Even until that moment, Gu Jiuyue was just happy for Su Huai, thinking that her good friend was great at everything.

Then, Su Huai extended his hand to her.

"Come on, I’ll take you flying!"

Gu Jiuyue was truly stunned: "Ah? Me?"

"Yeah!"

Su Huai smiled brightly: "Otherwise, why do you think I practiced so hard?"

In a flash, Gu Jiuyue’s heart filled with a warm surge, her somewhat "dull" eyes shone with intense light.

"Su Huai!"

She called out emotionally, not saying anything else.

When deeply moved, straight men and women often refrain from expressive outbursts, and Gu Jiuyue, usually a quirky girl, at this moment, truly didn’t know what to say.

"Come on, just stand firm, I will hold onto you," Su Huai reassured her with a knowing smile, extending his hand again.

Gu Jiuyue, thrilled, carefully stood in front of Su Huai.

"Like this?"

"Yeah, how does it feel? Can you stand steadily?"

Su Huai wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and looked down at the flight board—good lord, he couldn’t even see it!

It seems B+ isn’t that small after all...

Don’t underestimate the power of a beanbag...

Gu Jiuyue also looked down for a moment, shifted her little feet, and responded loudly: "I can! It’s not slippery!"

The flight board model was shaped like a skateboard, with a space in the middle for standing, and the material underneath was non-slip granular rubber. With Gu Jiuyue barefoot on it, stability wasn’t an issue.

It’s just that the space was still too tight, causing her to lean slightly forward.

So, Su Huai had to hold onto her tightly.

To prove he wasn’t taking advantage, Gou Huai called out loudly: "I will hold you tight, don’t be afraid!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Gu Jiuyue nodded vigorously, relaxed and smiling: "I’m not afraid! I believe... you you you you you!"

Before she could finish her sentence, Su Huai soared into the sky with her.

In that moment of mental blankness, she thought she heard a familiar call.

What was it?

Soon, she had no inclination to ponder that little matter anymore—she felt... I’m flying!

"Wow wow wow! Su Huai, you’re awesome!"

Gou Huai, who was always a showoff by nature, felt even more exhilarated after receiving such high praise from the little fairy and flaunted all his skills.

"Hold tight! Next move, aerial spiral to the heavens!"

With a slight twist of his legs, the jetting water immediately spiraled up, driven by the flight disc, splashing out two spiraling jade dragons and taking them both spiraling upwards.

"Oh ho~~~"

Gu Jiuyue was overjoyed; although she could not see anything in the distance, the sky was blue, the sea was emerald green, and between sea and sky was a vast expanse of freedom. She was plunging into that freedom and at the same time being filled with the intense aura emanating from Su Huai.

"We’re flying in the sky!"

Gu Jiuyue called out again, and this time, she used the word "we."

Su Huai smiled indulgently but did not respond.

He needed to concentrate, to steady the core and give her the best experience, so he was so focused that he remained silent.

Gu Jiuyue didn’t care about a response, and suddenly spread her arms wide: "Huaihuai, charge!"

So Su Huai took her on a low ground-skimming dive, at the lowest point, less than 50 centimeters from the surface of the sea.

Forward, backflip, dive, spin...

Su Huai pushed his hard-earned athletic talent to the limit, like a playful sea dragon, darting and flipping back and forth.

Gu Jiuyue wasn’t afraid at all; instead, Gu Tongshu’s features were in complete disarray from worry.

Spiraling to the sky, baring teeth and grimacing.

Diving down, eyebrows knit into a frown.

When Gu Jiuyue shouted the words "Huaihuai," Gu Tongshu’s mortified face twisted into a network of bulging veins...

"Damn!"

Wang Gang swore to the heavens, the Mr. Gu he knew was not someone who typically swore.

Refined, reserved, and powerful—these were the hallmarks of Gu Tongshu.

But today... forget it, better not think further, I saw nothing!

Wang Gang huddled at the back, letting Gu Tongshu seethe at the bow, until he couldn’t take it anymore and strode back.

"We’re not waiting, head to shore!"

"Right away, Mr. Gu." Wang Gang, like a man pardoned, hastily waved to the boat captain, "Let’s go, turn around!"

As the fishing boat sailed away, Su Huai was also hovering midair, pointing in that direction and whispering to Gu Jiuyue, "That person is so weird. With such a big sea, they could play anywhere, yet have to follow us... Gugu, could it be because he thinks you’re too pretty and wants to ask for your contact information?"

"Gross."

Gu Jiuyue gave a blunt assessment and then decisively chose not to go ashore, "Let’s play on another island instead, and keep our distance from that kind of person when taking photos. I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist calling Sister Wu to beat him up!"

Su Huai slapped his chest hard, "What do we need Sister Wu for? I can beat him up back and forth eight times myself!"

"Great!"

Gu Jiuyue was clearly a bit wild with excitement, throwing punches, "If he dares to follow us again, you just let loose and take care of him, I’ve got your back!"

This wasn’t the normal state for Gugu; the girl didn’t like conflict or violence, but exceptions always exist, and today she just wanted to let loose.

Su Huai gently placed her on the back seat of the jet ski, indicating to the driver to turn off the engine, then he climbed up and sat in front of her.

"How do you feel? Want to play a bit more or go rest?"

Gu Jiuyue pouted, looking pitifully at Su Huai, "I want to play a bit more, just a little bit, is that okay?"

After thinking for a moment, Su Huai unhooked the flight disc and told the driver to wait in place.

Then, he took his ghost rider back to the cruise ship.

"Let Andy do a check on you, and if she thinks it’s okay, then I’ll take you flying again; but if not, we’ll go rowing and take pictures on the island."

"Okay..."

Gu Jiuyue wasn’t entirely satisfied but still obediently agreed.

When they reached the bottom of the cruise liner, Su Huai looked up and found Wu, Andy, and Lan all looking at him with strange expressions.

He hurriedly explained, "It’s not strenuous, Gugu will be fine!"

Wu rolled her eyes at his words.

Is that what we’re worried about? Silly kid!

Su Huai certainly wasn’t foolish, he just hadn’t thought of that possibility—after all, who could have guessed that a random man by the shore was actually the fairy family’s Old Man Deng? No normal person would think in that direction.

"Andy, please give Gugu a check to see what she can still do today."

Su Huai decided not to board the boat and sat cross-legged on the jet ski, fumbling with his phone, scrolling through music he could play later.

Andy listened carefully to Gu Jiuyue’s heartbeat, her expression growing more serious.

Finally, she sternly warned, "You can’t do any strenuous activities today. Go and soak in the bath with Xiaolan right now, then let her give you an aromatherapy relaxation session."

In an instant, Gu Jiuyue seemed struck by thunder, her whole being affected.

But before she could get upset, Su Huai immediately comforted her, "Perfect, you rest for two hours, while I go scout the island, looking for a beach suitable for photography and camping. We can meet up later!"

Gu Jiuyue suddenly forgot her troubles, stopping him urgently, "That would be too exhausting for you. Play on your own, and we’ll go looking together later."

Wu couldn’t help but marvel: Hey, this kid really has his ways!

Gou Huai gave an OK sign, hopped on his beloved little jet ski, and zoomed off.

Gu Tongshu put down his binoculars and laughed.

Ha ha, the Puppy has finally left my treasure! Who did it? They deserve a reward!

Gu hummed a tune, comfortably sinking into his sun lounger, then flipped over his left hand, and a cup of freshly squeezed iced juice was immediately tucked into his palm.

He relished the juice, savoring the heart-cooling sweetness and chill, contentedly exhaling a deep breath.

However, the peace didn’t last long. Before long, a few kids landed on the island nearby and, with sneaky glances, scoped out the ice bucket and fruit cabinet before heading straight for him.

"Uncle, where did you get your fruits and beer from?"

Gu Tongshu initially didn’t want to deal with them—he had heard that the boys in the class were all particularly fond of Su Huai, all following his lead—which meant they were all his lackeys!

But on second thought, if they were Su Huai’s underlings, then they surely knew enough about the big brother, right?

Listening to them personally talk about what kind of person the Puppy was, how he conned my daughter, it wouldn’t be a loss.

Only by knowing your friends and enemies can you have the upper hand.

So Gu Tongshu took off his sunglasses, and his smile instantly became warm, "Kids, there’s nowhere on this island to buy these things. Come here, take whatever you want to drink, I brought plenty."

Gu Tongshu could be as friendly as he needed to be when it mattered.

Zhang Renhui, Gao, and Er Gao, who were essentially naive kids, immediately walked over, excited.

"Oh, thank you so much!"

In the depth of Gu Tongshu’s eyes, a hint of a smile surfaced, and he promptly produced three cans of beer.

"Come on, men, it’s boring for me here by myself. Have a drink with your uncle!"
