Conan: I'm just an ordinary novelist

Yun Xianhe threw the skull into the sea.

I saw him take out a special pair of scissors from somewhere, cut the fish hook with a click, then took out a French fry from his pocket, tied it to the fishing line, and threw it out in a cool manner.

"Ow!"

The seagulls responded very enthusiastically.

Yun Xianhe took out a handful of French fries from his pocket and looked at the seagulls that had landed beside the boat:

"Want to eat?"

"Ow—"

Seeing the seagull speak, Yun Xianhe didn't care whether it could understand or not, and pointed at the bucket next to Hongshu:

“You can exchange it for fish.”

The seagull tilted its head, thought for a long time, then turned around and went into the water to catch a fish!

So our brave man happily received the first item of the day.

"Look, isn't it here?"

Looking at the seagull that brought the fish in its mouth in exchange for French fries, Hiroki fell silent again.

“…There is something unscientific about you.”

"Hahahaha! As long as we catch a fish, that's all that matters!"

"as long as you are happy."

Yun Xianhe threw the fish brought by the seagull into the bucket, re-tied the fishhook, put on real bait and threw it into the sea.

"Those were just appetizers. I'm going to be serious this time!"

Hongshu held the French fries given by Yun Xianhe in his hand, looked down at the seagull whose beak was shiny from eating so much, and silently stuffed the French fries into his mouth.

Don't tell me, it's really delicious.

The captain hiding on the upper deck looked at Yun Xianhe who was fishing all kinds of strange things from the sea, grinning in a way that looked quite provocative.

The helmsman at the side took a look at his captain's appearance, touched the back of his barren head, and muttered softly:

"Boss, no matter how pretty little Polaris is, you can't keep staring at her, right? She looks like a pervert..."

"Go away! What do you know, kid?"

The captain cursed and laughed as he kicked the helmsman.

He leaned on the railing of the upper deck, glanced at Yun Xianhe who was chatting with Hongshu while holding a bone below, slowly lit the cigarette, and took a deep breath.

The rising smoke was quickly blown away by the sea breeze, and the captain's tone seemed to be somewhat emotional:

"They are just like me when I was young, naive and full of energy. But this kid is smarter than I was back then. Humph, an adventurer..."

The helmsman on the side did not say anything, he knew that his boss was going to start rambling on about his youth again.

Yun Xianhe, who was on the lower level, looked at the half skeleton that was pulled out of the water and rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

"Why can't you put together a pair?"

"Didn't you just throw it away?"

Hearing Hongshu's words, Yun Xianhe shrugged and tapped his temple:

"I remembered everything after watching it once. The size of the head just now doesn't match this skeleton. It will be a deformity when put together."

As he spoke, he picked up the big bone stick next to him and placed it next to the half of the skeleton he had just pulled up, while explaining to Hiroki:

"Look, the size of this leg bone is obviously different from theirs, and the color is also different, which means they are not from the same era."

Hiroki, who had inexplicably acquired a lot of knowledge, was silent for a while, and suddenly laughed.

"They all say I'm a genius, but you're the real genius. How much have you learned?"

"I don't know. Anything I can remember and understand after just one look is considered as what I have learned, right?"

There was a sense of helplessness in Yun Xianhe's words.

If those who work hard to study and research hear this, they may be angry or disdainful.

But Hiroki wouldn't, because he knew the person in front of him was not lying.

"But you live freer than I do."

However, Hiroki, who was outstanding in the field of electronic technology, was overwhelmed by piles of work and tasks the moment his value was discovered.

However, Yun Xianhe, who has mastered a lot of knowledge and skills, is just like everyone else.

The brave man who casually threw the bones back into the sea shook his head and said in a relaxed tone:

"It's simple. Just pretend to be an idiot."

"Ok?"

"Pretend not to understand those twists and turns, and not to understand their deep meaning. When communicating with others, only talk about light topics, and when it comes to any professional knowledge, do not respond unless necessary, and do not show yourself."

Yun Xianhe talked on and on, looking at the blue sky in the distance and squinting his eyes.

The sea breeze entangled each other's hair, and the ethereal feeling that was already close to nature seemed to be magnified by the sunlight at this moment.

Leisurely and carefree.

"It's a simple matter, 'Don't show off your wealth'."

"Until you have the absolute power to protect yourself, hide your wealth first."

"If the world's knowledge is wealth, then I will be a pauper who controls mountains of gold and silver."

"As long as the surface stone is thick enough, who can see the jade inside at a glance?"

"Not knowing anything is also a luxury to return to nature, isn't it?"

The sea breeze blew, the sails above head rustled, and combined with the boy's clear voice, it turned into a buzzing sound in my ears.

Two geniuses, similar and different destinies.

“What if I can’t hide it?”

"Then use your wealth to gain stronger protection, more rights, and greater benefits for yourself."

Yun Xianhe turned to look at Hongshu, his tone somewhat teasing:

"Look, you are still a child. Only mature people would not ask such questions."

Hiroki was stunned when he heard this.

He naturally understood the teasing and was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

This is indeed the case. In front of the brave man who sees through the world, even if he behaves differently, he is still indeed a child.

Hiroki sighed and smiled helplessly:

"Perhaps, only here with you will I be treated as an ordinary child."

"No, in many people's eyes you are just a child. A smart and overly well-behaved child."

The brave man who picked up the fishing rod and threw a scallop into the bucket sneered:

"If it were me, under the forced overtime every day and night, I would directly hack into their company and send all their information to the hostile company. I believe you can easily do that."

Hiroki was speechless.

Indeed, for a computer genius, he can really do this kind of thing as long as he wants to.

But he didn't.

After all, he still has the innocence of a child.

The brave man's cool palm landed lightly on his head, interrupting Hiroki's wandering thoughts.

"It's a pity that you are not me. You are just a kind-hearted child."

"I'm not."

Hiroki argued in a low voice.

Hearing this, the brave man snorted and laughed, looking at the sparkling sea, as if sighing:

"The price of growing up varies. You happen to be similar to me and you paid a little too much."

is too much.

"Hey! Little North Star! What did you catch?"

Yun Xianhe raised his pole and pulled up a large piece of seaweed. He looked up at the captain who was grinning, and flicked the seaweed twice:

"Snack tonight?"

"Come on, that stuff isn't tasty at all, even the mountains hate it."

Hearing this, the brave man shrugged and skillfully put bait on the hook.
