The royal chef's skills were indeed excellent. Bonnie ate two more bowls of rice, thoroughly enjoying her meal, and didn't even have time to chat with them.
Bonnie's appetite also surprised everyone. It's true that you can't judge a book by its cover. Gu Ye's little wife has a good appetite and a big stomach. Her appetite is so large that even the grown men present have to admit defeat!
"Have you eaten? Would you like something to drink?" Gu Ye handed Bao Ni a handkerchief, which was embroidered with small flowers and was a new one that he had taken from his sister-in-law.
"I'm full. If I eat any more, my neck will be sore. I'll just have some water." Bonnie naturally took the handkerchief, wiped her mouth, and then put it back into Gu Ye's hand.
Gu Ye took it, folded it, and put it back in his pocket.
This scene left everyone, including Han Ye, speechless. Had Gu Ye been bewitched? Deng Meili, in particular, watched with reddened eyes and tears welling up. If her brother hadn't been there, she would have burst into tears.
The Deng family has a good background; they live in a military compound, and their ancestors held high-ranking positions.
Deng Bing and Gu Ye grew up together. Deng Meili followed her brother around since she was little, and especially liked to stick to Gu Ye.
Before his mother passed away, Gu Ye stayed by her side and rarely went out, so he had even fewer opportunities to meet Deng Meili. After his mother's death, Gu Ye's personality changed drastically; he became cold and taciturn.
After being admitted to military academy, Deng Meili tried every opportunity to get close to Gu Ye. However, her feelings were unrequited, and Gu Ye avoided her. Deng Bing also asked Gu Ye about it, and Gu Ye said that he would never get married in his life and that she shouldn't waste her time on him.
After graduation, Gu Ye went to an island and didn't come back for several years. In fact, Deng Meili had already given up. She was already in her early twenties and didn't have time to waste. She also decided to go on blind dates and choose a suitable person to marry.
But Gu Ye returned, with his newlywed wife, which left Deng Meili heartbroken. She had chased after him for so many years, and he said he would never marry—what did that mean? Why was he showering attention on a fisherman's daughter?
Deng Meili has a good family background and a good education, so how could she be inferior to a fisherwoman from an island? She couldn't understand it and couldn't eat or sleep for several days. She begged her brother to take her to meet Gu Ye and the others, knowing that her brother and the others would definitely have a get-together.
"Does Comrade Lin have such a good appetite at home too?" After Gu Ye's words, Deng Meili didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
"Me? Do I need a specific type of appetite? I've always had a good appetite since I was a child, and I enjoy everything I eat. But Comrade Deng, are you worried about gaining weight? Why haven't you eaten much? You should know that there are still many people who don't have enough to eat or wear. We should be grateful to be able to eat such delicious food today and enjoy it wholeheartedly!"
Bonnie truly believed this. The three years of natural disasters had only just ended, and many places were struggling to even have enough to eat. On their island, for example, a typhoon could strike at any moment and wipe everything out.
"Comrade Lin is absolutely right. We should savor our food with care and gratitude. We don't truly understand the value of every grain of rice on our plates," Deng Bing quickly interjected, trying to smooth things over, otherwise…
Bonnie didn't mean it that way. It's not time to make baseless accusations yet. Those of them with resources have already sensed something and are starting to pay more attention.
"Bonnie, your island must be beautiful! I've never left Beijing before. I really want to try taking a boat ride, feeling the sea breeze and looking at the vast ocean. It must be so pleasant!"
Zhao Yuan is a woman with a bit of a bourgeois taste who yearns for a romantic life.
"Most people who take a boat ride for the first time will get seasick. Besides constantly vomiting and feeling weak all over, they basically have no ability to enjoy the ride." Bonnie thought that if they actually got on the boat, they would be lucky to even stand up, let alone face the sea breeze.
"Really?" Zhao Yuan was extremely disappointed. She had never been on a boat before, but she got carsick!
"It seems Comrade Lin is quite a good swimmer. Living by the sea all year round, fishing and net weaving must be no problem for him!" Deng Meili was unconvinced and wanted to make sarcastic remarks about everything Lin Baoni said.
"I'm not good at weaving nets, and I can't even cook, but I'm very good at fishing, and my swimming skills are unparalleled. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to rescue Gu Ye from the sea. He was so grateful for being saved that he offered himself to me!"
Deng Meili looked at the smiling Bonnie and wished she could tear her smile off.
"Hey, Gu Ye, other people are the heroes who save the beauties, but you've been turned around, the beauty is saving the hero!" Li Hongjun cheered, slamming his fist on the table. It's not easy to see Gu Ye get into a good show, it's totally worth it.
"Wow, Bonnie, you're amazing! The ocean, those waves were dozens of meters high, so scary!" Han Ye had taken her to the beach before, and Zhou Weihong had seen the surging waves; it was truly breathtaking!
"Yes, the sea is gentle, it provides abundant resources, but the sea is also ruthless, it can capsize a giant ship at any time." Bonnie, who has lived by the sea for two lifetimes, has awe for the sea.
"However, beachcombing is still a lot of fun."
"Really? I've heard that too. They say you can catch crabs, octopuses, and sea snails when you go beachcombing. Bonnie, can you really hear the sound of the ocean from a sea snail?" Zhao Yuan asked one question after another, like a curious child.
"You're surprised that a remote and backward island can amaze you, and you keep asking a fisherman all sorts of questions. You're so ignorant, or are you from a rich family?" Deng Meili is the kind of person who believes that if she's unhappy, no one else can be happy either, and now she's attacking indiscriminately.
Zhao Yuan was humiliated and looked displeased, but given her background, she couldn't say much.
Bai Chaoyang glanced at Deng Bing, not wanting to confront a female comrade.
"Deng Meili, you..."
Bonnie interrupted Deng Bing, her face turning serious as she met Deng Meili's gaze. The smile from before vanished, replaced by a coldness in her eyes. "Comrade Deng Meili, as a genuine fisherman, I demand that you apologize to me and to all fishermen!"
