I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 474 Duanshui Xianren (2713)

"I was the one who liked you first. I liked you sixteen years ago."

Hearing these words, Shen Shuyao felt her heart tremble.

Sixteen years!
For Shen Shuyao, who was just twenty years old, sixteen years was almost the same as a lifetime.

Ever since she knew that Lu Jiayan was her elementary school classmate, she had been feeling a little lost. Although she kept telling herself that it was nothing, she still felt anxious deep down.

He was worried that the "fate" between him and Fang Yu was not as deep as that between Lu Jiayan.

Of course, if it were a Japanese comic, it would definitely be called a "bond."

The word "bond" is a purely derogatory word, which means almost the same as restraint and shackles. But now, people talk about "bond" all the time. What the hell are you talking about "bond"?

Even the calmest person will worry about gains and losses in love for some seemingly irrelevant reasons.

Love is three parts sour, three parts astringent, and three parts bitter, and only one part is sweet.

If someone says that his love is only sweet, congratulations, it must be industrial saccharin.

It is precisely because of these nine points of sourness and bitterness that that one point of sweetness seems particularly precious.

Just this one point of sweetness can make people feel that the nine points of sourness and bitterness are worth it.

Just like Shen Shuyao now.

It turns out that this was not just my wishful thinking.

It turns out that our "fate" started so early.

Seeing the little girl and the fat boy in the photo, Shen Shuyao's eyes quickly became moist and a tear as big as a bean fell on the photo.

"oops!"

This type of old photos that have been developed are most afraid of water. The image is actually stuck on the photo paper with gelatin. If water penetrates into the photo paper, the photo image will be easily damaged.

Shen Shuyao snatched the photo from Fang Yu's hand and gently wiped away the tear stains on the photo with her sleeve. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the photo was not damaged. She shook the photo to speed up the evaporation of the moisture, and then carefully put it into her bag.

"Hey, hey, hey, today is my birthday, and you don't give me a present, but you take things from me? Isn't that too much?"

Fang Yu pinched his chin and joked.

It's not your own jaw that you're pinching.

Shen Shuyao blushed, stood on tiptoe, and pecked Fang Yu lightly on the lips.

Fang Yu put his arm around Shen Shuyao's waist, his eyes burning.

Seeing Fang Yu's gaze, Shen Shuyao felt her whole body go limp and her eyes became blurry.

Just as Fang Yu was about to retaliate, he heard Lu Jiayan's scream coming from the stern of the ship.

"Brother, the boat is moving! The boat is moving! Ahhhh, it's going to capsize~"

Shen Shuyao suddenly woke up and turned her head to see. She didn't know how Lu Jiayan operated it, but the black-sailed boat that was originally parked steadily at the dock suddenly turned sideways.

The boat was tied to wooden stakes with hemp ropes, which were tied very tightly so as not to come loose. However, when the boat turned sideways, the hull naturally lost balance. It did not look serious from the outside, but Lu Jiayan, who was sitting on the boat, had a completely different feeling. He thought the boat was going to capsize.

Fang Yu pinched Shen Shuyao's waist, and then untied the hemp rope of the black-sailed boat.

"Ahhh, brother, why did you untie the rope? Get on the boat first and then untie the rope~"

Once the rope was untied, the sloop regained its balance but slowly drifted into the lake. Lu Jiayan became even more nervous when he saw this.

Originally, she was just angry because she saw Fang Yu and Shen Shuyao being affectionate on the shore, so she acted mischievously. Now that she saw the rope being untied, she was really a little scared.

What if it floats away and Fang Yu and Shen Shuyao don’t come up, what should I do?
Lu Jiayan paddled twice, trying to get back to the shore, but the boat kept spinning in the same place and drifted farther and farther away with the current.

Before she could open her mouth to call for help, she saw Fang Yu hug Shen Shuyao and jump lightly onto the bow of the boat which was more than one meter away from the shore.

The boat swayed a few times, and Lu Jiayan, who was sitting at the stern, just exclaimed when he saw Fang Yu had already passed through the black sail of the boat and came to the stern.

"This hand paddle is only used to control the direction, pedaling the paddle is the source of power, it should be like this..."

Fang Yu asked Lu Jiayan to move aside and sat in the boatman's seat at the stern. Seeing that the two women were seated firmly, he pushed his feet on the oars.

There was a loud sound of water, and the black-sailed boat shot out seven or eight meters like an arrow.

too fast!
Shen Shuyao and Lu Jiayan had never expected that the black-sailed boat could be so fast. Shen Shuyao was very good at swimming. Last time when Yi Yi fell into the lake, she went into the water after Fang Yu and rescued Yi Yi before Fang Yu. So she was not so scared at this time.

Lu Jiayan was different. Even though she had been making a fuss about rowing before, now she felt the mist and the change in inertia and her face turned pale with fright.

To put it bluntly, Ye Gong loves dragons but has a strong addiction to humans.

Although the two women didn't want to sit together, the wupeng boat itself was not big, so they couldn't be much farther away.

Shen Shuyao suddenly felt a slender hand tightly grasping her arm.

Shen Shuyao glanced at Lu Jiayan next to her with a little surprise, only to see that the other party's face was pale and his eyes were closed in fear, as if he didn't realize that it was him who was caught.

If it were ten minutes ago, Shen Shuyao would definitely have waved her arms and told Lu Jiayan to go wherever he wanted.

But now, Shen Shuyao hesitated for a moment, moved her arm slightly, but ultimately did not shake off Lu Jiayan's hand.

Fang Yu, who was rowing at the stern, felt delighted. As expected, what is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth. We should still treat everyone equally.

Treating everyone equally does not mean really treating everyone equally, but it means making every woman around you feel that she is the most valued.

This is the basic quality of a sea king.

For example, Shen Shuyao. On the surface, it seems that Lu Jiayan is hostile to Shen Shuyao, but in fact, Shen Shuyao's hostility and vigilance towards Lu Jiayan are far greater than Lu Jiayan's towards Shen Shuyao.

It's just that she is more sophisticated than Lu Jiayan and more considerate of Fang Yu's opinion, so she didn't show it like Lu Jiayan.

In addition to the fundamental factor of "being a love rival", it is also because she always feels that the "fate" between her and Fang Yu is not as deep as that between her and Lu Jiayan, so she always has a sense of crisis and insecurity in her subconscious.

Her upbringing made it impossible for her to release this sense of crisis and insecurity, further increasing her hostility towards Lu Jiayan.

As for Lu Jiayan, she naturally feels more secure than Shen Shuyao in this regard. Although she suffered from a chronic illness when she was a child, her family is still very happy. It has to be said that a happy childhood and teenage life will indeed have a fundamental impact on a person's character and outlook on life.

Her hostility towards Shen Shuyao came more from the jealousy and pettiness of a normal girl.

Therefore, after analysis, if he wants to make his backyard peaceful, the first thing he needs to do is to solve Shen Shuyao’s heart knot.

Since the biggest source of Shen Shuyao's malice towards Lu Jiayan is Lu Jiayan's "childhood advantage", wouldn't it be enough for me to help her make up for this "advantage"?

Before finding this photo, Fang Yu had calculated the probability and found that the probability of him and Shen Shuyao having had an intersection when they were children was actually quite high.

When he heard Shen Shuyao say that day that she had been a child model for the photo studio in Fumin Lane, he had been thinking about it, and he actually found an old photo in his family album.

But Chen Wanyu was standing far away when taking this photo, so she could only see Fang Yu dressed as Nezha in the photo in the window. She could hardly see what the photo in the window was.

To this end, Fang Yurang Youzi searched for countless old photos of Haixi from that period on the Internet, and finally found a clear window view of the photo studio at that time in the electronic files of the Haixi Archives.

It can be seen from the picture above that there was a headshot of a pretty little girl in the window at that time. And it seems that it should be Shen Shuyao when she was a child.

Fang Yurang used AI's photo of Shen Shuyao's childhood to replace the original unclear photo image.

Then, enlarge the photo, adjust the clarity, crop it, re-develop it, and make it look old...

He prepared the photos half a year ago, but never took them out.

Is it easy? Is it easy to be a sea king?

Do you really think anyone can be Aquaman?

You must have enough passion and determination, as well as strong execution and a smart mind, to be able to treat all women equally and make them feel that they are the most valued ones.

Please call me Fang·Master of Keeping Balance·Yu.

In a few years, I estimate that I will be able to evolve into a Duanshuixianren.

After rowing for several hundred meters, Fang Yu slowed down the boat, and the black-sailed boat floated with the waves in Cuiping Lake.

Lu Jiayan also gradually adapted to the water surface, and felt a little embarrassed when he saw himself holding Shen Shuyao's arm.

"It's called 'Piercing Terrace', built on a huge rock. Legend has it that the King of Linchuan of the Southern Dynasty stopped here on his way to seek refuge, put on his clothes and wrote a poem facing the wind, which was inscribed on the rock wall. The pavilion on the top is a modern replica, and the inscription on the stone tablet is a copy of the poem by later generations..."

Fang Yu acted like a tour guide, telling the two girls some stories about nearby attractions, while his mental power covered the entire lake and kept exploring downwards.

Nabasu and Eternal Focus both appeared here. Since I'm here today, I might as well check it out to see if I can find some other clues.

Huh? What's this?
