Little Yichen nodded frantically.

  Lisa smiled and gave the flat reply, “There’s no more even if you wanted some.”


  Little Yichen’s expression froze.

  “What’s with that expression? There’s no more fish even if I don’t mind grilling it for you.” With that, Lisa stood up and said earnestly, “If you want more, then fish for some once you’ve woken up tomorrow. I’ll grill them for you.” He laughed heartily again. “Really?!” “Yeah, really.” She urged him, “Go back to the cabin and get some rest now!”


  The boy nodded and put away the stand and the stove. Lisa suddenly turned to him and said, “Oh, there’s a water tank on the boat. So take a shower if you want.”


  “Uh huh.” Little Yichen found the shower stall and took a hot shower before retreating to bed comfortably. Before he knew it, night fell.

  Lisa stayed in the cockpit. The night was silent, and only the sound of the waves could be heard. The yacht sailed on the calm sea. As she sat leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, Little Yichen’s words echoed in her mind.

  How can you be a demon? You are obviously very kind.

  If it weren’t for you, Youyou wouldn’t have had the chance to return to Mommy. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to escape from Acklan Island on my own.

  Lisa, how can you say that you are a demon?

  Lisa could not help smiling.

  Although this guy seemed a little silly generally, he was rather adorable!

  As she smiled, she again recalled what he said:

  Lisa, have you realized that you’re smiling a lot more than before?

  She immediately retracted her smile and massaged her sore cheeks before pursing her lips.

  Indeed. She was smiling more than before. She was also trying to be more communicative.

  This…


  Was it a good thing?

  To begin with, an assassin was not allowed to have any emotions. Once an assassin developed feelings, it could be fatal. Because, as an assassin, any one of the more than six billion people in the world could be her target. And relationships shouldn’t be in the way. Without feelings, one would not have any hesitation.

  Hence, she forced herself to be cold, she forced herself to not have any feelings for anyone. Just like how she had once regarded him as her best friend and had feelings for him. If it hadn’t been for these emotions, she would not have such unforgettable memories.

  She wouldn’t have been so torn apart, or hesitated so much, when she had to kill him.

  But…


  After all, she was still a child. Lisa yearned for warmth more than anyone else. She wanted to have a warm family, just like Little Yichen, and a companion like Youyou. Although she understood that a wish like this was too extravagant!

  The next day, Little Yichen woke up on time and took over the shift from Lisa.

  During the day, he threw the net into the water to fish again. This time, he paid attention to his technique. In addition, he was really lucky and caught four chum salmons. Two of them were quite big

  That evening, he set up the stove in advance and prepared the seasonings. When Lisa got up, he hurried her to grill the fish.

  They were the only two people on the huge yacht, drifting on the open sea. Fortunately, they had each other for company so that they weren’t lonely.

  During the days on the yacht, Lisa often smiled. Little Yichen liked to see her smile because it made her look so beautiful! In order to see her smile, Little Yichen tried to amuse her. She did not know what Little Yichen was thinking, nor did she know how he always managed to make her smile.
