In truth, she wanted to use this opportunity to see what treasures were hidden on the seabed, so she could trick Hui Mu into fetching them for her later.
But Hui Mu didn't suspect any of these ulterior motives.
His face lit up the moment he heard her words.
"Really? Then let's go right now!"
With that, he excitedly took her hand and began weaving through the coral groves.

Around noon, Chu Jing rubbed her flat stomach and finally couldn't hold back any longer.
"I'm going ashore."
The light in Hui Mu's eyes instantly dimmed, and his voice turned timid.
"Did I do something wrong? Did I make you uncomfortable?"
"No."
Chu Jing shook her head from inside her bubble.
"It's time to eat. I'm hungry."
The moment she said that, Hui Mu suddenly remembered the barbecue from yesterday.
The crackling charcoal, the fragrant aroma, the meat skewers sizzling with grease.
At the thought, he unconsciously licked his lips.
'Wait!'
'Something's not right!'
