Side Story: Xingxing, Yueyue

Ever since he and Li Yu went sightseeing on a ship, he had heard Li Yu tell him about the legends of the sea. Xingxing had been fascinated by sailing on the water.

He changed his lazy habit of not interacting with outsiders. Every day, when he was free, he would look for the shipwrights on the ship to learn navigation skills.

Because he was born with divine strength, good looks, and a sweet mouth, the boatmen were all willing to teach him how to control the ship. He learned to detect the direction of the wind and the direction of the water to differentiate where there were undercurrents and hidden reefs at the bottom of the water. Xingxing learned with relish. When he returned, he pestered Li Yu to tell him the stories of those red-haired people.

Yueyue, on the other hand, was not interested in the boat at all. Every day, he would either fish with his parents or study with Zhou Jia. He was an elegant and beautiful youth.
