Chapter 295: Chapter 269: I Will Co Back Unscathed
The light was gentle, seemingly softening the locked brows of Fu Yisi.
Ji Sang, who originally did not know what to say, let the words out when she saw this scene.
Her heart was calm, and her voice had no fluctuations.
“I want to go with Min Yunwen to the South Sea to photograph whale falls next week.”
Fu Yisi, who was applying dicine to Ji Sang, paused only very briefly before carefully making sure that all the reddened areas were covered with dicine, then took a tissue to clean his hands.
The man raised his head to Ji Sang, slightly raised his eyebrows, and asked,
“How long will you be gone?”
As if he never knew about it.
Ji Sang’s mouth corners slightly downturned, reluctantly spoke of the ti she would spend in the South Sea.
“At least a month.”
The round-trip journey itself already takes a few days, and we need to search for different locations to wait for the possibility of whale falls, a month is truly a lot squeezed down.
Fu Yisi frowned, pondered for a long while, and then as Ji Sang expected, he voiced all his worries.
“Is it safe to go to the South Sea?”
“Will you be able to adapt to staying at sea for a month?”
“The weather at sea is unpredictable, are you planning to rent a boat or what?”
“And also…”
Fu Yisi paused for a mont, his brows and eyes showing so helplessness, and his mouth corners, like Ji Sang’s, downturned, with a slight air of innocence and pity.
“A month is too long, I will miss you.”
Ji Sang’s already not-so-good mood almost collapsed because of Fu Yisi’s last sentence.
She had struggled so much just because she worried about the not short period of ti going to the South Sea, that Fu Yisi would miss her, and she would find it harder to restrain herself from missing Fu Yisi.
It’s not about being overly sentintal. After Ji Sang returned to the country and experienced the close companionship with Fu Yisi, the exploration and attempts in their relationship, and the death of Yang Jun, it led to a full-hearted mutual confession with Fu Yisi.
Naturally, as if they were in their honeymoon phase, the two missed the first half of the year and were now at a stage where they were very clingy to each other.
Yet, at such a stage, they had to be apart for more than a month.
It was naturally hard to let go.
Ji Sang was feeling down, even though she observed a look of innocence and pity on Fu Yisi’s face that she had never seen before, she had no mood to be bold and tease him as usual.
She cast her eyes downward, seemingly to hide her emotions, but it was more like she couldn’t properly answer his questions while facing Fu Yisi’s gaze.
“We are following the National Mariti Research Institute’s ship to search and wait for whale falls, there are professional lifeguards and dical personnel on board, there’s no need to worry about safety.”
“I have had a week’s experience of living at sea before, I adapted very well, and a month won’t be a problem for .”
“And also…”
“I will miss you too.”
Her last words were spoken so softly that Fu Yisi could barely catch them from such a close distance.
Fu Yisi felt sowhat helpless, it was supposed to be him who was upset, so how did it end up that she was the one who beca like this while talking?
“Ah Shang, look at .”
Ji Sang was silent for a while, her fingers nervously twining, clearly indicating her troubled thoughts, but in the end, she still raised her head to look at him as Fu Yisi had said.
“When are you departing?”
Ji Sang pursed her lips
“Next week.”
Fu Yisi let out a low growl
“Why didn’t you tell earlier?”
Ji Sang did not answer
“Hmm? Were you afraid I wouldn’t agree and forbid you from going?”
Fu Yisi spoke very softly, as if to avoid startling Ji Sang.
Ji Sang finally shook her head and said aloud,
“No.”
“Why then?”
Fu Yisi’s reaction wasn’t exactly what Ji Sang had anticipated, but it wasn’t too far off.
She just knew that Fu Yisi would never stop her from pursuing her dreams and passions.
Ji Sang felt a twinge at the tip of her nose and lowered her head to avoid the man’s gaze.
She honestly voiced her thoughts,
“It’s that I’m afraid I can’t let go, that I’ll regret it.”
So she had dragged it out this late to tell Fu Yisi, leaving herself with no chance to back out.
This answer was unexpected, even for Fu Yisi, who was stunned for quite a while.
He thought the young woman delayed because she worried he wouldn’t agree or let her go, but he didn’t expect this to be the reason.
Although it was sowhat inappropriate under the circumstances, Fu Yisi couldn’t deny that he was pleased to hear her response.
His deanor beca even more tender.
“Oh, so Ah Shang can’t bear to leave .”
Fu Yisi said with a slightly teasing tone, attempting to disperse the somber mood.
According to Ji Sang’s usual temperant, she would never have admitted her feelings so easily, but now she had changed. In front of Fu Yisi, she was no longer the insecure Ji Sang who dared not easily reveal her emotions.
“Mmm, I can’t bear it.”
Ji Sang responded in a muffled voice.
The man’s movent, which had been gently pinching the soft flesh on Ji Sang’s hand, halted.
It wasn’t that he was afraid he couldn’t bear it, but that she was afraid she herself couldn’t.
Upon unintentionally learning about this from Min Yunwen, all the gloom and pent-up emotions that Fu Yisi had felt instantly dissipated, turning into sympathy.
The man lowered his head, touching his forehead to Ji Sang’s, cupping her face with both hands, and said in a low voice,
“I can’t bear it either.”
He had intended to say sothing else to console Ji Sang, but at the mont their foreheads touched, Fu Yisi also wanted to be a little selfish, conveying his own feelings to Ji Sang.
There was a lot of life ahead; Ji Sang craved freedom, always wanting to take her SLR cara to see every corner of the world. He couldn’t build a cage in her life to trap her too early.
All he could do was let go and start getting used to it now.
Not only for her to get used to a life of separation but also for him to start adapting to a life of separation.
“But Ah Shang, it’s only a month. I’ll wait for you at ho for one month, okay?”
Ji Sang’s trembling eyelashes brushed against Fu Yisi’s.
It tickled.
Ji Sang nodded.
“I’ll co back unscathed.”
She was addressing Fu Yisi’s greatest concern with her words.
The man laughed, planting a gentle kiss on her eyelids.
“Okay.”
Just one month.
The ti couldn’t be any longer.
After the matter of going to the South Sea was discussed, perhaps because the issue that had been weighing on her mind was finally resolved, Ji Sang felt a sense of emptiness and unreality.
Both sat on the bed, with Ji Sang’s head on Fu Yisi’s shoulder, looking at a dical magazine with him that she couldn’t understand.
She kept asking questions one after another, and perhaps even Ji Sang herself didn’t know why she was asking them, but Fu Yisi answered each one.
Ji Sang couldn’t understand, but Fu Yisi’s voice was pleasing, even more intoxicating when he spoke English, and she listened in a daze.
Looking up at his profile, she contentedly nibbled on his jawline.
