Chapter 193: Chapter 194: Calamitous Star

With a splash,

Nian Shutong released the octopus and, using her Spiritual Power as a rope, threw it toward Fu Yunhe.

Fu Yunhe felt like a big fish that had been hooked and pulled out of the sea, leaping into the air and trailing splashes of water before thudding down onto the deck.

The only difference was that Nian Shutong caught him.

“What happened? How did you fall in?” Nian Shutong gripped Fu Yunhe’s wrist, using her Spiritual Power to warm his body.

She looked at Fu Yunhe, whose appearance had a somewhat “pear blossoms bathed in rain” quality, still so handsome!

But this was really pushing it.

“Got any clothes? Go change.”

“Yes.”

Fu Yunhe walked past Nian Shutong and into the cabin, drew the curtain, and began to change his clothes.

At that moment, he was completely bewildered.

How did he end up falling in? Everything happened too fast.

Outside, Dou Dou wore a face full of guilt, pursing her little lips as she looked at Nian Shutong.

“Auntie–”

“Yes? What is it?”

Large and small, four glossy black eyes met each other.

“Auntie, I think I forgot to mention something.”

Nian Shutong felt a bad premonition but still asked, “What is it?”

Dou Dou hung her head low, her chubby little hands nervously fidgeting with her fingers.

“I forgot to tell you, I’m very lucky, but people around me tend to have… bad luck.”

Nian Shutong slapped her forehead, how could she have forgotten this! She then reached out again and patted Dou Dou’s head, squatting down to look at her.

“Dou Dou, it’s not your fault. It’s because Auntie wanted to use something of yours, so I have to face the consequences. It has nothing to do with you.”

Dou Dou still hung her head, and large tears fell like they were breaking away from their thread.

“Only Mommy says I am lucky, but they all call me ‘Little Disaster Star.'”

Nian Shutong wasn’t good at comforting children. She did not push Dou Dou away, but let him lean on her shoulder as he wished.

“Dou Dou, you are not a disaster star. It’s just that the luck around you is too strong, and some people can’t handle your fortune. Therefore, what goes to extremes must surely reverse, causing them to experience some accidents.”

“Your Uncle Xiao He, his body is just too weak to withstand it.”

Nian Shutong was seriously analyzing the root of the issue, without a hint of wanting to simply placate the child, but others might not see it that way.

Standing at the entrance of the cabin, Fu Yunhe watched the big and the small figures outside; he thought Nian Shutong certainly didn’t realize how kind she was now, even if she kept her arms awkwardly suspended in mid-air, not knowing how to embrace.

Dou Dou was also hearing someone say that she was not a disaster star for the first time outside of her mother.

Although her mother always firmly told her she was the one with the best luck, her mother would get hurt every time, leaving Dou Dou feeling sad.

The two had been living at the Ji Family’s place, but when Dou Dou’s mother learned that others were bullying Dou Dou, calling her a disaster star, she resolutely took Dou Dou and left.

Even if she herself was good for nothing and knew nothing, she knew she had to protect Dou Dou.

“Auntie, can I change how I address you? I don’t like calling you ‘auntie.'”

Nian Shutong looked at Dou Dou, who was pulling away from her embrace, and asked, “What would you like to call me?”

Dou Dou brightened up from crying, and then seriously said, “All relatives on my mom’s side are called ‘auntie,’ but Dou Dou doesn’t like them.”

“Can Dou Dou call you ‘godmother’?”

Godmother?

Nian Shutong looked at the little Dou Dou in front of her and said expressionlessly, “Okay, call me godmother.”

It was just a title, she didn’t care much.

“That’s great! Dou Dou has a godmother now! Dou Dou has a godmother now!”

Dou Dou, on her own, hopped and skipped with joy, bouncing on the chairs.

Nian Shutong had already gotten up, having said all that needed to be said.

“Xiao He, set sail for home.”

“Okay.”

Fu Yunhe had already changed his clothes in the cabin. He started the boat and, following the preset navigation, headed towards the seaside.

Meanwhile, Nian Shutong had walked to the large basin to figure out what was inside and how to eat it.

Dou Dou, who was originally standing on a chair, also walked down and squatted neatly beside Nian Shutong.

This was Dou Dou’s aunt.

Dou Dou flashed a mischievous smile, showing his tiny white teeth at the edge.

Nian Shutong saw the giggling Dou Dou, too, but didn’t feel much of a connection yet; she needed time to accept anyone.

The boat sailed across the sea, with Nian Shutong and Dou Dou both sitting on the observation deck, watching the vast ocean outside.

Coincidentally, a group of dolphins accompanied the boat, occasionally leaping out of the water as if greeting them.

The scene was very, very beautiful.

“Auntie, what kind of fish is that?”

Nian Shutong, who had initially closed her eyes, opened them and looked in the direction Dou Dou was pointing.

“It’s not a fish, it’s a person.”

“Oh…” Dou Dou uttered an “oh” and said no more.

His mother had told him that one can cultivate a kind heart by themselves, but shouldn’t implore others to do the same.

Dou Dou didn’t quite understand some of the things his mother said, after all, Ji Sisi’s thoughts were somewhat peculiar. But he was an obedient child.

The three people on the boat, Nian Shutong saw them, and didn’t really want to bother; she had never been much of a good person.

Fu Yunhe noticed as well, but also didn’t want to bother; they were already floating, probably dead. He was just about to steer the boat around them.

But at that moment, a dolphin pushed the person floating in the sea, revealing their face.

Fu Yunhe immediately stopped the boat, flung open the door with force, and for the first time shouted at Nian Shutong.

“Nian Shutong! Save him!”

Nian Shutong, who was just about to lie down again, abruptly opened her eyes and looked at the anxious Fu Yunhe.

Without wasting any time, she lightly leapt up, stepping on the water’s surface, and with one hand grabbed the person’s collar, effortlessly getting them onto the boat.

She laid the person down on a lounge chair and looked at Fu Yunhe, asking, “Do you know him?”

“I know him.” Fu Yunhe’s eyes were glued to the person in front of him, a hint of despair in his gaze.

There was no breath.

There was no breath.

“There’s still hope.”

One sentence sparked a brilliant light in Fu Yunhe’s eyes. He gazed at Nian Shutong with an earnest yearning that was all too real.

Nian Shutong didn’t say much nor waste any time. She grabbed the lying old man with one hand and slapped his back with the other.

Spiritual Power surged through his acupoints, and in a moment, the elder vomited out a lot of water.

Fu Yunhe clenched his fists, took a step forward, then stopped, not daring to disturb Nian Shutong.

Nian Shutong repeated the process a few times and the elder spat out quite a bit of water. Afterward, she fed the elder a pill.

“Just wait, he will wake up.”

With that one sentence, Fu Yunhe felt reassured.

He trusted Nian Shutong.

“Nian Shutong, thank you.”

“No problem, it’s no big deal.” Nian Shutong leisurely lay back down and urged as she did so.

“Start the boat quickly! If we don’t go back soon, we’ll all dry out.”

Fu Yunhe glanced at the elder, whose chest was now rising and falling with breath. He felt a sense of relief and responded in Nian Shutong’s direction.

“Leaving right away.”

Fu Yunhe squatted down to position a sun umbrella above the elder, shielding him. He leaned close to the elder’s ear and whispered.

“Teacher, it’s Yun He.”
