DSF Chapter 48

By the time these professional players finished breakfast, it was already past nine.

Most of the people on the cruise ship had disembarked and gone to the beach to play and take pictures.

Before Yan Yibing disembarked, he took out the data card he had purchased online and inserted it into his phone. Finally, his phone, which had been without signal all night, started working.

Before he could even check the messages that kept popping up, Song Tang called him.

“Captain, hurry up, everyone is waiting for you!”

Yan Yibing had no choice but to put his phone in a waterproof bag, hang it around his neck, and grab his snorkeling gear as he rushed out.

There was a nearly 200-meter-long glass bridge from the pier to the beach.

Underneath the bridge, the deep blue sea shimmered, and the clear water reflected the delicate grains of sand on the seabed.

In the distance was the low mountain he had seen earlier in the morning. The mountain was lush and green, except for the area where the waves crashed, which remained a deep dark blue. With the slanting sunlight, the temperature wasn’t too high yet. The mountain peak cast a long and wide shadow, providing a sheltered spot.

Most of the people playing on this beach are cruise ship passengers, but not all of them are willing to stay on the beach.

There are several local day trip activities on the ship, and you sign up by swiping your card a day in advance. In the morning, there will be a special car to take you to the outskirts of the town.

But most of them were too lazy to move, so no one signed up.

Chen Chi took some money and rented six beach lounge chairs and three tents.

Ding Luo was afraid of getting sunburned and didn’t want to go into the sea, so Yu Yan accompanied her to play beach motorcycles.

Several people who hadn’t eaten enough for breakfast went to the restaurant upstairs to study seafood barbecue. Song Tang took a few people to ride a speedboat, and the only one who was prepared for diving was Yan Yibing.

Xiao Nuo stood by the beach chair and asked Han Mo, “Captain, aren’t you going to play something?”

Han Mo, holding a tablet, lay on the beach chair and shook his head. “You go ahead; I’ll read the news for a while.”

He only brought a pair of swimming trunks but had no intention of playing in the sea.

Although he had obtained a diving certificate, he was not a fan of the sport.

The reason he learned so many things was simply to avoid being idle. The emptiness of being idle was the hardest to endure.

There weren’t many things in his life that he truly liked, and even fewer that he could hold onto.

Yan Yibing had already changed into his diving suit. Carrying a backpack, he looked around and found that everyone had gone to play, leaving only Han Mo alone.

So he walked over to Han Mo with his backpack.

“Watch this for me; I’m going to try diving.”

Han Mo raised his eyes and looked at him for a few seconds.

The diving suit was tight-fitting, outlining the person’s figure perfectly.

Yan Yibing stood next to him, with only his wrists and ankles showing, fair and delicate, giving people an irresistible urge to explore.

“Is it okay?” Yan Yibing lifted his foot and playfully rubbed Han Mo’s calf.

His toes picked up a lot of fine sand, and the sand rubbed onto Han Mo’s pants, leaving a small white mark.

He had no idea how suggestive this action was.

Han Mo’s gaze deepened as he savored the moment before he finally bent his leg and gently brushed off the sand from his leg with his hand.

He wasn’t angry; instead, he said softly, “Can you dive?”

Yan Yibing casually replied, “Should be fine, it’s not deep anyway. I’m good at swimming, so there shouldn’t be a problem.”

Han Mo lightly “hmmed” and took his bag, placing it next to himself.

Yan Yibing happily walked away.

Stirred by Yan Yibing’s little action, Han Mo couldn’t continue reading the news in his hands. He could only follow Yan Yibing with his peripheral vision, observing how he would dive.

He was highly skeptical of what Yan Yibing had mentioned about his childhood water experiences.

Yan Yibing stood by the seaside, tested the water temperature with his legs, and then put on a mask and snorkel before slowly heading towards deeper water.

Snorkeling equipment could dive at most two to five meters. Although it wasn’t deep, it was far enough from the beach.

Han Mo watched helplessly as Yan Yibing walked farther and farther away, his figure getting smaller until only the breathing tube was visible on the water’s surface.

He began to feel restless.

He stood up and called Xiao Nuo, asking him to come back and take Yan Yibing’s backpack with him.

Then, without changing into swimming trunks, he directly went into the sea wearing sports pants and a short-sleeved shirt.

The sunlight became brighter, reflecting off the water’s surface, making it hard to see the person in front clearly.

He gradually felt his way in the direction Yan Yibing had gone, without carrying any equipment.

Yan Yibing was indeed a good swimmer.

But he hadn’t used flippers much. Flippers were designed to be wide and large, providing significant propulsion but not easy to maneuver.

Yan Yibing had already swum to a depth of three meters.

He held his breath and wanted to explore underwater.

He exerted force to sink down, twisting his waist almost to the point of breaking, struggling to bring the flippers down.

His legs slowly moved towards the sandy bottom, with a hint of deep blue in front of him.

There were no fish passing by in the water, only some half-broken seaweed and dried branches and leaves floating occasionally.

There were no colorful coral reefs either, just a huge fault in the sand visible within his line of sight, and beyond that, the sea suddenly became deep after a dozen meters.

In the deeper area, the seawater appeared dark blue, as if there were towering rocks.

Yan Yibing held his breath, intending to move forward a bit.

However, at some point, his flippers got buried in the sand. When he took a step, he was unexpectedly met with significant resistance and stumbled forward.

Startled, Yan Yibing instinctively opened his mouth to breathe.

The seawater immediately poured into the breathing tube, and he tasted the salty and bitter flavor, almost choking him.

He hurriedly spat out the water, and bubbles gurgled up, covering his vision completely.

He could only blindly feel his way upwards.

But before he could reach the water’s surface, a strong force hugged his waist and pulled him up.

Yan Yibing had a foundation in swimming, so he knew he shouldn’t struggle at this moment. He stopped his movements and waited for the person to bring him to the surface.

Fortunately, he was wearing flippers, which provided significant buoyancy, so the other person didn’t use too much force.

As he emerged from the water, Yan Yibing saw Han Mo wiping the seawater off his face.

Han Mo was soaked from head to toe, and his clothes clung tightly to his skin. Seawater flowed down his black hair, and the corners of his eyes were slightly reddened by the seawater. After all, to see things underwater, he had to open his eyes.

At this moment, Yan Yibing was tightly hugged by him, his back against Han Mo’s chest, and his neck was only ten centimeters away from Han Mo’s lips.

Han Mo’s strength was considerable; he held him tightly without loosening. Yan Yibing struggled a bit, but influenced by the diving suit, his movements were awkward, and the struggle failed.

So, he could only press against Han Mo’s forearm, preventing himself from accidentally bumping into Han Mo’s lips.

But…

This feeling of being held seemed somewhat familiar.

However, Yan Yibing couldn’t remember anything.

“Han Mo, why are you here?”

The buoyancy of the seawater caused them to float up and down. Their legs would occasionally collide, no matter how hard they tried to restrain themselves, they didn’t know where the next collision would occur.

Occasionally, Yan Yibing’s thigh brushed against a sensitive area it shouldn’t have touched. Even as a man, he felt embarrassed and his cheeks turned red.

Han Mo, too, was breathing heavily.

“You’re really daring. You dare to go so deep right after starting to play. If something happens to you, no one will be able to save you in time!”

Han Mo’s tone was unfriendly, and compared to Yan Yibing’s gentle and calm demeanor, Han Mo seemed more like the older one.

Yan Yibing frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure in his eyes. But when he glanced around, he was also slightly surprised.

Unconsciously, he had already drifted quite far from the crowd.

The nearest person to him was at least thirty meters away.

If something really happened to him, it might not even be possible for someone to hear his call for help.

No wonder Han Mo scolded him.

Yan Yibing could only suppress his temper and reluctantly said, “Let go of me, I’ll swim back by myself.”

He had planned to enjoy snorkeling, but reality was always a bit more bitter than imagination.

Moreover, although there might be better scenery ahead, he didn’t dare to go there because it was too deep.

Han Mo remained silent for a moment before slowly releasing him.

Yan Yibing paddled with flippers and swam back to the shore.

After swimming for a few seconds, he suddenly felt his waist being grabbed again.

He turned back, furrowing his brows, “What are you doing?”

Han Mo sighed, “You can play, I’ll watch you. Just don’t go too deep. I only have a diving certificate, but I haven’t reached the level of an instructor.”

Yan Yibing replied with a puzzled expression, “Hmm?”

With the plan changed, Han Mo watched Yan Yibing dive in the deep water area for over an hour.

It was only when Yan Yibing became exhausted and couldn’t hold his breath any longer that they slowly swam back to the shore.

It was already noon, the time when the sun was harshest, and UV rays were the strongest.

The breakfast they had eaten had long been digested.

Yan Yibing rubbed his stomach, walking while swallowing saliva.

Han Mo wasn’t much better.

He went into the water wearing regular clothes, facing greater resistance and requiring more strength. Once on land, these clothes became a burden, hanging heavily on him.

But Han Mo didn’t mind. He just rolled up his pant legs and wrung out the water from the hem of his short sleeves.

However, the clothes still clung tightly to him, wrapping around the smooth lines of his muscles.

Walking behind him, Yan Yibing accidentally saw the dimple at the small of his back when he wrung out the water.

Hidden beneath the robust muscle texture, the faint dimple appeared irresistibly sexy as they moved.

Yan Yibing stared, feeling a bit dazed, and couldn’t help but want to poke it.

All beautiful things are worth appreciating, and a man’s physique is no exception.

But at this moment, Han Mo turned his head and said, “I’ll go back to the ship to change clothes. You can go find them and have a barbecue.”

Yan Yibing was a bit absent-minded, “Huh? Oh, I’ll go back too and return the diving suit.”

“Not playing in the afternoon?”

“Yeah, I’m tired. Can’t play anymore.”

So the two of them tacitly headed towards the ship.

As they walked on the gangway, Yan Yibing casually looked at his phone while walking.

He randomly opened WeChat and realized that after just one night of not checking, his messages were overflowing.

Most of them were photos shared by professional players in the group, taken for others, taken for the scenery, all uploaded, and just opening them consumed a lot of data.

Yan Yibing quickly exited the group.

The next contact was Liang Hefeng.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Liang Hefeng had become a bit more enthusiastic again.

【Liang Hefeng: Bing, are you going on the ship today?】

【Liang Hefeng: How’s the cruise ship? I haven’t been on one before. Send me a couple of photos.】

【Liang Hefeng: There should be internet on the cruise, right? Is your schedule very tight? Can you spare some time for two rounds of games?】

【Liang Hefeng: No internet yet? Reply when you have a connection.】

Yan Yibing didn’t like taking photos when traveling.

He felt that he always looked a bit gentle in front of the camera, not cool at all, so he gradually became lazy to take pictures.

But he was in a good mood today, after all, Han Mo personally accompanied him in snorkeling for over an hour, and the gaming experience was excellent.

Yan Yibing smiled, picked up his phone, switched to selfie mode, and took a picture of himself with the sea and rolling hills in the background.

Looking left and right, it wasn’t bad. He sent it to Liang Hefeng.

【ZeroYan Yibing: The data price on the cruise is too high, and the signal is not good. I just got back to the shore and inserted the card. I didn’t see it before.】

【ZeroYan Yibing: The schedule isn’t too tight, but I’ll probably have to drink every day. Let me see, I’ll let you know if I have time.】

Han Mo glanced at him, seeing him seriously messaging, and didn’t say anything.

Just as they walked into the cabin, Liang Hefeng replied.

【Liang Hefeng: Drinking is usually in the evening, what’s your plan for the afternoon?】

【ZeroYan Yibing: We’ll be on the beach all day, no plans for the afternoon yet.】

【Liang Hefeng: Perfect, the sun is too harsh around one or two o’clock. How about playing a few games? Okay?】

Yan Yibing didn’t directly agree and replied ambiguously.

【ZeroYan Yibing: We’ll see. They’re calling me for lunch now.】

Taking the elevator, Han Mo casually asked, “Who is it?”

Yan Yibing smiled, not hiding it, and casually replied, “Liang Hefeng, inviting me to play games.”

“Heh.” Han Mo sneered, turned his face away, and his gaze gradually turned cold. “Looks like he’s really hugging the big thigh.”

Yan Yibing frowned slightly, seriously telling Han Mo, “Didn’t you vent your anger last time? Why do you still have such a strong bias against him? After all, we’ve been classmates for over ten years. It’s not easy for me when you’re like this.”

When he said it’s not easy, he instinctively regarded Han Mo as someone closer to him.

Because he was closer, he had to be a bit more polite to friends who weren’t as close.

That’s how Yan Yibing’s mind worked, but he didn’t express it.

Han Mo instantly turned cold, his eyes narrowed slightly, damp black hair resting on his eyelashes, and a vein bulging on his forehead.

“Biased?”

The elevator doors opened wide, and Han Mo walked out first, moving quickly and creating a gust of wind.

Yan Yibing moved his lips, about to reach out to grab him, but apparently missed.

“What a temper!”

Yan Yibing muttered, his face also turning cold as he walked towards his own room.

Before he could reach it, Han Mo had already pulled the door shut and the sound of the door closing rang loudly in Yan Yibing’s ears, making him so angry that he kicked Han Mo’s door with a half-hearted kick.

He didn’t know why Han Mo suddenly got angry.

Clearly, they were getting along fine just a moment ago.

It seemed that whenever Liang Hefeng appeared, Han Mo was always unhappy.

Arriving at his own door, Yan Yibing reached into his pocket, and suddenly froze.

His room key was in his backpack, and the backpack wasn’t on him.

Naturally, without the card, he couldn’t get into his room, even if he applied for a replacement, he would still need to bring his passport.

Yan Yibing frustratedly ran his hand through his hair. He had no choice but to shift his gaze back to Han Mo’s door.

Reluctantly, he walked over and knocked on the door.

“Han Mo, I forgot my card. Can you let me in to change clothes?”

The cruise ship provided bathrobes for guests in VIP rooms, two sets per room. Han Mo definitely had extras.

“Han Mo, don’t be angry. Let me in for a moment.”

Yan Yibing leaned against the door, with despondent almond-shaped eyes drooping. As he knocked on the door, he pressed his ear against it to listen to the sounds inside.

He felt like a pitiful guy locked outside by his girlfriend.

Uttering an apology that was difficult to understand, Yan Yibing humbly requested to be let in. The arrogance he had just displayed vanished in an instant.

The door was suddenly pulled open.

Yan Yibing couldn’t steady himself and stumbled straight in.

Inside the room, Han Mo had taken off his drenched short-sleeved shirt, revealing his beautifully sculpted upper body.

He had no idea that half of Yan Yibing’s weight was pressed against the door.

Caught off guard, Yan Yibing crashed into his arms.

Han Mo instinctively held onto him.

But Yan Yibing’s lips inadvertently touched a sensitive spot that was hard to mention.

The soft touch of his lips brushed against a faint redness, and the stimulated area quickly became more distinct.

Yan Yibing’s mind exploded in an instant.

Confused, he raised his almond-shaped eyes, looking at Han Mo’s chin, his lips trembling slightly.

The blood in his body seemed to boil, continuously surging up, making his eyes almost completely red.

Damn.

This is so fucking embarrassing.

Han Mo gritted his teeth, his body stiff, his jaw tight. The liquid, whether seawater or sweat, slid down his ear, flowed across his neck, and glided down to his collarbone.

He took a deep breath, feeling his body becoming increasingly uncontrollable.

His pants were completely soaked by seawater, clinging tightly to his body, making even the slightest change noticeable.

He had to push Yan Yibing away and quickly rushed into the bathroom.

“I need to use the toilet.”

Yan Yibing leaned against the wall, uncomfortably pulling at his hair, hanging his head low, searching for a crack in the floor.

If he could, he would have just disappeared into it.
