Chapter 67 (Xiao Kong) Turning Around to Embrace the Sea 5

Looking at the still calm sea, Sora felt a little worried about Xiao. Then he shook his head, realizing he was being foolish. Xiao lived in the sea, so this kind of weather should have little effect on him.

Suddenly, a strong wind arose, and large raindrops fell from the sky. Bright lightning flashed and menacing streaks appeared on the horizon; the downpour had begun.

Kong wanted to get back to his cabin, but the rocking of the ship made it difficult for him to move. He could only hold tightly to the side of the ship to avoid being thrown overboard. The sailors on board were all busy with their respective duties. Although the wind and rain were heavy, living together for a long time had made them work together very well.

Sora watched the people on the ship, somewhat shocked. Some were tidying up the sails, some were checking the cargo, some were directing the route... Their actions made Sora realize the powerful unity of humanity.

Sora was momentarily startled, and his hand slipped, just as the ship shook violently. Sora fell into the sea, and the last thing he saw was a young sailor running towards him in a panic.

However, the young man failed to grab Kong, and Kong still fell into the sea.

Sora was not a good swimmer, and in his panic, he could only drift with the current and sink. In his disarray, the mark on his hand became warm, and Sora saw a figure rushing towards him.

Xiao originally intended to obediently listen to Sora and wait near the island for Sora to come see him again. However, Xiao sensed the unusual weather and was worried about Sora, so he just lingered around the ship, not getting very close, but enough to keep an eye on Sora if he was in danger.

Fortunately, Xiao made it in time this time.

When Kong saw Xiao's figure appear before him, he was overjoyed, and his panic instantly subsided. He simply calmed himself down, trusting that Xiao would definitely help him.

The bluish-green hair was difficult to discern in the murky seawater, but Sora remembered the color clearly. When lightning flashed across the sky and a white light illuminated the scene, Sora clearly saw Xiao's handsome face and the worry on it.

The merman's powerful fishtail swam swiftly through the water, quickly reaching Sora's side. Sora's consciousness had become somewhat clouded from being immersed in the sea for a while, and Xiao, unable to pull him ashore in time, could only lean in and breathe into him.

Sora felt a sensation on her lips different from the seawater. Her consciousness returned, and she met a pair of golden eyes. As if noticing Sora's current state, the golden pupils seemed shy, wanting to look away, but Sora held them back.

Xiao's tail stiffened for a few seconds due to the movement of the air, and he could feel the warmth emanating from it. The warmth he so cherished, the warmth he wanted to possess, was boldly attacking him.

Sora closed her eyes and kissed Xiao peacefully; it was their first kiss.

Sora had wondered where her first kiss would end—in a bright afternoon garden, on a grassy field where fireflies danced…it shouldn’t be in the dim sea like this, but Sora didn’t mind. As long as she was with Xiao, anywhere would be fine.

Xiao was a little shy about Sora's kiss, but as he swayed his tail fin, he responded passionately. His mermaid nature made it difficult for him to resist the advances of someone he loved. However, he didn't forget to send Sora back to the surface; there were still people on the ship worried about him.

Upon reaching the surface, Sora finally released Xiao. He looked at Xiao with a gentle smile, just as he had when teaching him to draw on the island. Xiao's face flushed slightly under Sora's gaze, but Sora smiled.

"Was this your first kiss? How can you be so innocent?"

Sora's arms clung tightly to Xiao, teasing him as he spoke. Xiao wanted to turn his head away, but fearing Sora would sink again, he could only face Sora and hold him tightly around the waist.

"Mr. Kong, are you alright? Quickly grab this rope, we'll pull you up."

Sora and Xiao both heard the sounds from the ship and looked up, only to see a young man standing anxiously by the side of the boat. Clearly, in the dim light of the sea, he could only see Sora's golden hair and not Xiao's figure, assuming that Sora was floating on the surface of the water by himself.

Xiao spotted the rope, then sank himself down to pull Sora to it. Before Sora could react, Xiao had brought him to the side of the boat. Sora could only grab the rope, and the people on the boat, almost weeping with joy at the sight of him, quickly pulled Sora aboard.

Once again standing on the ship, Sora was surrounded by several people and led into the cabin. Suddenly turning around, Sora saw the silver fish tail quietly disappear.

Back in their cabin, the captain quickly brought the ship's doctor over. After examining Sora, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Their time together had forged a friendship between the crew and Sora; after all, who could resist a cheerful and adorable young man!

Seeing that Kong was in good condition, the busy sailors and captain, after reminding Kong not to leave the cabin, returned to their respective tasks. The gale was only temporary; they would have plenty of work to do in the coming downpour!

After seeing everyone off, Kong lightly touched his lips. Although what had just happened had made his heart still pound, once his emotions calmed down, he was filled with joy.

Sora steadied his hands, then took out his notebook. Thinking back to the scene, he slowly sketched the image of Xiao. The image of its lithe, powerful fishtail swimming in the water was one that Sora would never forget.

Just as Sora finished drawing, the ship docked. Hearing the captain's footsteps as he entered, Sora carefully closed her notebook.

"The ship has arrived at the shore. We'll go unload the cargo first. You can stay a little longer, or you can go home."

After saying that, the captain hurriedly left. As soon as he reached the shore, he had a lot to do: the crew on leave, the sale of cargo, the repair of the ship... one thing after another, so he could only rush back to tell Kong that they had arrived at the shore.

Sora understood the captain's busy schedule, and after a brief farewell, he disembarked. On the shore, Sora indeed saw his twin sister, Hikari.

"elder brother!"

When Ying saw Kong, she happily called out to him, ran a few steps, and jumped into his arms. Kong caught Ying; they had a very good relationship. After their parents divorced, they each found new lives, providing them with ample financial support but lacking much affection.

Geminis understand and respect each other, but in their hearts, each other is the most important family member in the world.

"We go home."

He carried his own bag on his back, held his younger sister's hand, and walked home together.

"I want to tell you about what happened along the way."

Sora's voice was gentle and steady; he always appeared reliable in front of his sister. Ying looked at Sora, a little puzzled, but she could guess that her brother had probably had a very novel experience.
