“You’re really not planning to return to Riyadh? Pa and Ma’s death anniversaries are around the corner,” Su Man gently replied. As he was not extremely close to his parents, he had a scant memory of them and was hence not particularly emotional. His parents, on the other hand, were of immense significance to Su Ruhua.

During the ten years Su Ruhua took care of him, she would take the utmost care in preparing for their death anniversaries as she especially missed them. Once she had left Riyadh, she never returned.

Su Man knew that she missed her parents extremely much.

As he was the only person to worship them every year, loneliness and solemnness came upon him.

“People live on in the hearts of others. If we can dispense with formality, so be it. Whether you are worshiping them or not, it doesn’t matter. I know that you don’t have that sense of filial piety towards them,” Su Ruhua smiled. “It really doesn’t matter. Even if I don’t go home to worship them, I still remember them.”

Su Ruhua sighed and smiled. “Pa and Ma’s death anniversary coincides with Mo Ye’s and Mo Jue’s birthdays. Their birthdays are around the corner too.”

Su Man was baffled at how she could be confused about Mo Ye’s and Mo Jue’s ages but never forgot their birthday. Was it because this was their parents’ death anniversaries, or was there some special significance to it?

Su Ruhua had a stern look, and he knew better not to say anything else.

Su Man grunted in acknowledgment as he meaningfully said, “Even fallen leaves eventually return to their roots. How much longer can you exile yourself?”

“God knows.” Su Ruhua looked at the slightly turbulent sea in deep thought. She did not know how many years she could still exile herself, hence so be it then. She suddenly laughed and mused. “Naturally, the day Man Man gets married is the day I’ll go back.”

Su Man ignored Su Ruhua’s bright smile, and Su Ruhua laughed even louder. As Su Ruhua walked toward Cheng Anya, the latter sweetly walked forward and asked her doubts. “Sister Beautiful, we’re about to part ways. Tell me how old you are. I really love to learn a thing or two about maintaining my complexion from you.”

“Secret. That’s a secret.” Su Ruhua waved her hand suavely as she smiled.

Cheng Anya blinked her eyes mysteriously. “Let me guess. You can nod or shake your head if you don’t mind. I’m really curious though.”

“Okay then. What do you think?” Su Ruhua replied.

Cheng Anya deliberately pondered and her eyes suddenly lit up. “Are you forty-three?”

Su Ruhua was taken aback and a chill ran through Eleven’s heart as she slightly looked down to conceal the shock in her eyes. Eleven, from Su Ruhua’s look, knew that she was spot-on. She deliberately had Cheng Anya ask her to confirm whether she was the same as Old Witch.

Little did she expect herself to be spot-on.

If she knew that was the case, she should have allowed Cheng Anya to guess her birthday. Regardless, she would have sensed it if she were that brazen.

Su Ruhua was not a shy person. She tapped Cheng Anya’s cute face in amazement. “You’re spot-on, my dear lass! An oracle indeed.”

“Haha, I was just lucky. Just lucky.” Cheng Anya mused albeit her heart was slightly taken aback. The cold lady next to her was the real oracle rather than her, and how could Eleven have been so spot-on?

While many seemed to know, strangers would have had some difficulty guessing Su Ruhua’s age.

She looked at Anya’s slight bulge and softened her tone. “Anya, your child is slightly special, so take care. If you want the child to live, I’m of the opinion that you should stay in Riyadh and see the child to term.”

Cheng Anya nodded thankfully. She already planned to do so without Su Ruhua mentioning it. She was even more eager than many to see this child to term.

Su Ruhua looked at Eleven, who remained cold. Su Ruhua knew her character and did not say anything else. Mo Ye had hurt her too deeply this once, and this definitely offended Mo Ye’s family.

As a girl who bore specific grudges, she did not mention how parents ought to repay their children’s sins despite how she felt otherwise. Su Man was an exception as they had long known and familiar with each other thanks to Ye Wei.

Su Ruhua boarded the ship first while Bailing, in her extreme unwillingness, came over to hug Su Man. “Uncle Beautiful, please remember Bailing and don’t have a change of heart, okay? If you do, I’ll castrate that man. Uhuhuh… Why am I not a man? Uhuhuh…”

Bailing cried exaggeratedly although she did not shed tears. She sounded so realistic that everybody’s eyes twitched. Su Man, whom Bailing hugged, remained as stoic as a statue.

Cheng Anya was secretly impressed at Beauty Su’s determination.

Eleven turned around to see men and women sunbathing on the beach again and quickly looked back. As Eleven was too sudden, Cheng Anya realized something was amiss before seeing how the young men and women were sunbathing on the beach.

She was already extremely calm as she had seen several ‘wonders’ in the past few days. Apart from taking care of Eleven during her time on the island, Bailing would bring her around the island.

Having seen such things before, Bailing said that these were extremely normal and was the culture on the island that men and women were not ashamed of each other. She could not emotively sigh at how huge the world was and its many wonders.

She did not slightly believe that a few of the more tanned women seemed this beautiful. By Cheng Anya’s beauty standards, pale or slightly tanned girls seemed healthier and ought not to be this… tanned.

Eleven, who was recuperating in the waterside pavilion all these days, naturally did not get to see such a wondrous view. Cheng Anya curiously scooted up to Eleven and saw her slight blush. She felt extremely surprised.

Was Eleven blushing????

She recalled how Mo Jue sent a naked photo of himself. Wasn’t she looking at it too? Why was she blushing now when she didn’t? She always thought that Eleven was asexual.

So, when did she realize that men and women were different?

“Eleven, are you blushing?”

“No.” Eleven quickly denied and looked away.

Cheng Anya saw how she was feigning it and felt that she had gotten the longer end of the stick. This was so cute!!!

As Bailing wailed and moaned whilst hugging Su Man, Bai Lin got impatient and shouted. Bailing pecked Su Man on the cheek. “Uncle Beautiful, you must miss me, okay? I am going, and I will think of you every day, okay? Uhuhuh…”

Bailing turned away and cried as she boarded the ship. Su Ruhua’s ship left first.

Su Ruhua suavely waved to everybody else before disappearing on the deck. The cruise ship gradually disappeared into the horizon.

Su Man and the others boarded the other cruise ship.

Once they were on the ship, Eleven remained at the bow of the ship and took in the sea breeze. Despite Su Man’s efforts to patch her up, her face was still extremely skinny probably because of the virus. While she had recovered from her wounds, she did not seem to be in the best shape.

As she would vomit from eating extremely oily food, any oily food was out for her. While Su Man tried to pinpoint an exact reason for her many dietary restrictions—spicy, sour foods on top of excessively oily food—he could only attribute to the virus in her.

Since food therapy was out thanks to the extremely simple diet she could only consume, he had to wait until he returned to Riyadh to come up with a solution.

“I do not want to go to Riyadh,” Eleven gently said on the deck with a distracted gaze.

“No, you must go. Jason is already waiting for you in Riyadh, and so is Bai Ye. I’ve already informed them that you will be going. If you don’t, they will be extremely disappointed.” Cheng Anya was slightly nervous. She was actually not comfortable with Eleven roaming around because she would definitely look for the Mo brothers despite her condition and form.

Beauty Su had mentioned about the instability of the virus and the possibility of an adverse mutation wiping out her incredible skills. If that happened, she would be throwing herself into the lion’s mouth, and she was queasy at that thought.

Eleven remained silent.

Was Jason and Bai Ye waiting for her?

“If you want revenge, recuperate first,” Su Man said.

Having said that, he went under the deck and rested in his cabin. Cheng Anya had a realization and tried to convince her as well. Cheng Anya tried to convince Eleven to dispel the idea, but Eleven remained silent throughout.

Because Cheng Anya easily became sleepier following her pregnancy, she felt sleepy after enjoying the sea breeze. After convincing Eleven for a moment, she returned to her cabin to rest while Dana remained to take care of her.

Eleven stood on the deck for quite a moment before returning to her cabin to rest.

Should she ask about what exactly happened?

When Cheng Anya awoke, it was already evening time.

When Cheng Anya discovered that the adjacent cabin was empty, she asked Dana and learned that Eleven went to look for Su Man. She thought Eleven was looking for Su Man about the virus in her, and she did not mind and freshened herself instead. Since it was yet to be dinner time, Cheng Anya felt bored and played a music disc. Beauty Su’s cruise ship had the best equipment, and he had extremely old vinyl records. She preferred Beauty Su’s musical preferences—those bassier and emotional artists whose songs were best listened to in the middle of the night since they helped consolidate one’s feelings. Such music was from an era ago that required much more attention.

There were Mandarin, Cantonese, English, and Spanish songs across seven artists. Cheng Anya chose a Mandarin song and listened to it as she read relaxingly.

Su Man and Eleven sat by the window in the small cafeteria on the cruise ship.

Eleven did not beat about the bush and directly asked Su Man, “Su Man, do you only have a sister?”

Su Man thought Eleven would ask him about the virus and did not expect her to ask about his sisters. He frowned and quietly shook his head. “No. I have two sisters.”
