Miss Assassin is heavily addicted

Chapter 126 Epilogue. Time flies, the future is long, and regrets turn into silent longing.
"Wow, sir, the blue is so beautiful!"

He Ye was reading a book, but he seemed a little distracted.

A massive ship is sailing on the Irish Coral Sea, where seagulls fly alongside the ship as it travels to distant lands.

The ship departing from Venice was bound for Country B, and He Ye had already bought tickets for three people. The most luxurious triple cabin, though a bit extravagant at nearly 3000 kronor, was a nouveau riche since all his money would be worthless after leaving Country A.

The gunshot wound in her shoulder still throbbed, but He Ye had it treated by a private doctor in Venice. She no longer had a fever, and the wound was bandaged. Before leaving, the other party even gave her a batch of medical supplies, such as disinfectant alcohol bandages and antibiotics—they were incredibly generous.

Although he didn't know why the dock was full of police when he returned to board the ship, he didn't care about He Ye anymore since they hadn't arrested him.

To be precise, many things are no longer related to him.

Mark and the others remained in Glaley City, their fates unknown. It would be a lie to say he wasn't worried, but now He Ye had no choice but to return to Country B, and all his plans had fallen through. At this moment, he was tasked with sending the inexperienced Sophia back to headquarters. In addition, Mark had given him a mysterious envelope, which was both his request and his long-cherished wish: for He Ye to deliver it to a certain gentleman in the organization after returning to his home country.

There's so much to do, it's making me a bit overwhelmed.

So now that she rarely gets to stay in her room to read, He Ye wanted some peace and quiet, but the surroundings were incredibly noisy.

Nicole knelt on the table, peering out the porthole like a child. The vast ocean made her eyes sparkle; it was the first time she had ever seen such an endless sea from a ship. Even the seagulls were beautiful, and she exclaimed several times in amazement, which was both funny and touching.

Yugiri sat next to Heno.

Her gaze was calm, her fingers playing with He Ye's left hand—so He Ye was currently holding the book with one hand—specifically, both of her hands were constantly stroking, pressing, and gently caressing He Ye's left hand, as if she had found some kind of toy and couldn't put it down. Such intimate behavior naturally made some people pout and feel jealous, but Xi Wuxi just looked down at her hands, as if it were an unconscious action.

Logically speaking, this should be their own room, but now there are two people crammed in, a young girl and an older girl.

Nicole is alright, she's just a bit noisy. But I really don't know where Yugiri learned this from? Or maybe it's just her own idea, but now she really likes Heno's hand, and having it next to her leaves one speechless.

Two months had passed since I last saw her, and she seemed unchanged, except that the distance between us was more ambiguous than before, perhaps because of the deceptive faked death that had happened in between. Fortunately, no matter what, she didn't care about those painful feelings, didn't complain to He Ye, and was simply happy to see him return.

As for the accident at the top of the tower...

Heno apologized on the way, but Yugiri remained silent and unmoved. Heno took this as acceptance, presumably thinking the matter would be dropped and there wouldn't be any further trouble...

He Ye only thought that the journey together would be pleasant.

"Sir, what a beautiful blue sea!"

Nicole called out again, and he had no choice but to turn around and look, but the vast ocean was much the same everywhere, azure and clear.

"Alright, that's enough, you two. You should go back to your own rooms." He Ye stood up, put down her book, glanced at her watch, and said helplessly, "From noon until six in the evening, you've both been in my room. I can't read comfortably like this. Please, don't do this tonight. After we go out for dinner together, let's all go back to our own rooms and not visit each other anymore, okay?"

"..." Nicole listened thoughtfully, her fingers resting on the porthole as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

As the fingers that had somehow slipped away came loose, Yugiri was momentarily lost in thought before looking up blankly. He Ye had already grabbed his wallet and room key, straightened his clothes, and opened the door, letting the two girls behind him follow.

Of course, when the passing guest saw the two beautiful young women in the room, his expression changed several times before he looked at He Ye with a look of righteous indignation. He snorted and walked away with his hands behind his back.

He Ye remained awkwardly silent, then finally ran his fingers through his hair and scratched it, making it look like a bird's nest.

It's been months since I've had a haircut, and it's gone from artistic to messy and disheveled. I'll find a chance to get it trimmed after I get off the ship, otherwise even the prettiest face can't withstand this sloppy look.

Of course, the most important thing is.

"Come out quickly." He Ye looked over with a look of melancholy.

Nicole could only smile wryly and follow, coming to the side. She glanced back at the woman named Sophia. Although they were traveling together, the two barely spoke, as Sophia rarely showed any emotion on her beautiful face.

The room door was closed, and the three walked toward the ship restaurant.

Dinner was nothing special; the table was already overflowing with food, like nouveau riche, since if they didn't spend money now, they wouldn't have another chance. Nicole was surprised and delighted, her eyes shining as she ate the sumptuous feast, exclaiming how delicious it was. He Ye was also eating, but Sophia was the slowest eater.

After dinner.

Return to the ship's deck where your cabin is located.

He Ye stood in the middle, pushed open his room door, and then silently glanced at the two people next to him—the room on the left was Xi Wu's room, and the room on the right was Nico's room. His room was in the middle, so he could probably hear any noise at night.

Goodnight, both of you.

After thinking it over, He Ye had no choice but to politely say goodbye and close the door.

Finally, I can be alone for a while.

The moonlight had fallen on the ship's windows at some unknown time. It was already seven o'clock in the evening, and the azure sea emitted a faint glow, reflecting the crescent moon in a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

The sea is so beautiful.

Perhaps the view would be even more beautiful on the deck, but He Ye took off her black coat and just wanted to rest. She gently hung it on the coat rack in the corner and sat by the window, gazing outside.

He Ye neither read books nor looked at the sea.

He rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought, his mind wandering.

Even if I come back after this departure, I might not be able to meet the people there again. To be honest, those two months were really happy. I sang my heart out and enjoyed the sunshine and beaches to the fullest. I have no regrets. I just wish I could enjoy the good life even more... But I can't call it regret. It's just wishful thinking.

Brooke was his cronies;

The four-member band allowed him to fulfill his dream of being in a band since college.

Nicole Griffiths was the kind of sister he had once wished he had;

Miss Isabel will become an outstanding person; it wouldn't be surprising if she made it into the world's newspapers someday. Yuri and Lucia must have already developed feelings for each other, but it's a pity they can't hear their country bumpkin-like juniors asking them for advice on matters of the heart. I wonder how Rayleigh and those vagrants are doing; I'm really sorry for messing things up that time.

Familiar faces flashed through my mind. Finally, the image froze...

'Fool'

Her soft laughter was as melodious as a silver bell.

He Ye sighed softly, feeling awkward. He wasn't sure if Lolis would forget him, but he hoped that the stubborn yet petite girl would. It would be a good thing for her; time flies, and she still had a long youth ahead of her. He wondered if the saying "crooked trees and forests" even existed in this world.

He Ye suddenly felt inexplicably depressed when he thought about this. He quickly realized what was going on... It turned out that he really liked that arrogant girl.

Unfortunately, it's a pity there's no way to explain it clearly anymore.

There are many people in this world, and He Ye believes he will likely have other girls he likes. However, he cannot deny that his first crush was Lolis, and this might have a profound impact. Just like when he was smitten with the ponytail-wearing class monitor in front of him in high school, he later developed a liking for girls with ponytails because they seemed to embody the beauty of his past.

Of course, this is probably also related to the fact that she was the first person to like him.

Having lived in this world for so many years, no one has ever liked him so much, so it's hard for He Ye not to remember her.

"Bang bang—"

Just as I was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door.

He Ye was not wary because the ship had already sailed into international waters, and no one would chase him anymore. In fact, once he got close to the coast, he would need to reveal his identity and contact the people on CORE's side.

He Ye walked to the door and opened it.

Before my eyes came Yugiri, her eyes lowered, clutching a white cotton pillow. Her long, black hair cascaded over her shoulders, and she wore a sheer silk nightgown. Her figure was slender and graceful. Her chin rested on the soft pillow as she spoke softly:
"Can I sleep with you, Leon?"

"..." He Ye's lips moved but no sound came out. Why is it happening again?
"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"

At that moment, the door next door opened, and Nicole pretended to accidentally push it open and walk out, coughing awkwardly several times before coming over here.

"Sir! There seems to be a spider in my room! I'm scared. Can I sleep with you tonight?"

"?"

Even He Ye sensed something was off about the two, but instead of thinking it over, she knew she had to refuse. Leaving aside the fact that she couldn't possibly sleep with them, the bed in the room was only 1.2 meters wide. If three people squeezed together, wouldn't they have to be held up by both arms to even get a comfortable place to sleep? How uncomfortable would that be?

Just then, the passerby I had seen in the evening walked by again.

The young, slightly overweight man with a mustache and a gentleman's cane frowned as he saw two beautiful and charming girls standing in front of He Ye's room, still in their pajamas and hugging pillows. Even his 24k titanium alloy eyes would go blind with envy and jealousy.

"Hmph...Hmph!" The other party made a sound like a bull grunting as it passed by.

He Ye hesitated for a moment, then closed the door with a heavy heart.

The two people outside the door exchanged glances, and finally Nicole gently tugged at Sophia's sleeve to start a conversation with the black-haired older sister. After all, she was genuinely curious about the seemingly close relationship between Sophia and He Ye.

The two appeared to be at least four years apart in age, but as the conversation deepened, Nicole discovered that the older sister named Sophia seemed even more innocent and naive than herself.

However, no matter what... at least she wasn't as cold and taciturn as she seemed. In fact, she was easy to communicate with if she spoke properly, which made Nicole pat her chest in relief and show a friendly smile.

Don't know how long it has been.

He Ye could sense that the noise outside the room had disappeared.

He slowly put down the book and stopped reading, thinking that he was finally leaving. But the scene just now was still lingering in his heart and he was feeling very melancholy. Although he could sense that Yugiri was being unreliable, how could Nico be like that too?

This is unusual.

After putting down his book, He Ye frowned. He wasn't really stupid; he was able to recognize these feelings.

But, but...

...I hope it's just a misunderstanding on my part.

The hazy moonlight fell on the window, casting a glow on the pages of the book.

He Ye slowly put what had just happened out of her mind.

Sit quietly.

Then he felt a little sleepy. He hadn't slept since last night, and his mental strength was incredibly strong to have lasted this long. He thought he should go to sleep, so he slowly reached out and drew the curtains to block out the moonlight.

But the movement suddenly stopped, because when they woke up, they might have already reached the shore and completely left the territory of Country A.

His thoughts surged like a tide as he thought about this, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he just kept drawing the curtains closed.

"Goodbye." He gazed at the azure sea under the hazy moonlight one last time and said softly, not knowing who he was saying it to, since so many people wished to see him again.

The curtains completely blocked out the moonlight.

The darkness stretched out in the room, yet it was so gentle.

"Good night." This time he spoke softly, as if he were speaking to someone else with a listless air.

The ship sails far out at sea.
