Chapter 19: Everything Happens for a Reason
"It's okay, Comrade Chen Lin."
Her reaction deepened Qi Xu's suspicion that Chen Lin must have some unspeakable secret.
"Comrades in the art troupe should pay attention to their own safety. Otherwise, Comrade Chen Lin, you are so beautiful, and I will be heartbroken if you get hurt somewhere."
Qi Xu herself likes all beautiful people and things. Since this person is so good at making excuses, why can't she continue to talk along with him?
Then she clearly saw a flash of displeasure on Chen Lin's face, which disappeared in an instant. "Thank you for your concern, Sister Jiang. I will definitely pay more attention."
While waiting for Chen Lin to turn around and leave, she always felt that something was wrong as she looked at her graceful back.
"Well, don't think too much about it. We are just acquaintances, not familiar with each other."
Jiang Hongyi, who was standing next to her, hesitated for two seconds and then turned around to explain.
"Huh? It doesn't matter. I can see that you two are not familiar with each other." Qi Xu was a little surprised why Jiang Hongyi suddenly explained to her. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were really not familiar with each other.
She waved her hand to show that she didn't care, and her attention was drawn to the seagulls flying over the sea.
Qi Xu also had the experience of going out to sea by boat in the 21st century, but the scenery was indeed not as beautiful as it is now, and there were not as many seagulls as there are now.
The sun has already set, the red and purple sunset glow has long faded, and the layered blue gradient where the sky and water meet, coupled with the seagulls of all sizes flying far and near, is a perfect work of art.
Probably because we were at sea, the temperature got colder as night approached, and there was also a salty smell from the sea water.
The three of them walked straight into the cabin and found that there was a restaurant in the cabin. Many people gathered in the hall to order food.
Qi Xu didn't know whether the food on the ship was delicious or not, but it looked pretty good from other people's food. With a gleam in his eyes, he looked at Jiang Hongyi impatiently.
"What do you want to eat? But I can't guarantee that the taste will be to your liking."
Jiang Hongyi saw her obvious thoughts and asked.
"I want to eat that seafood fried rice. What do you want to order, Grandpa?"
Even though she was almost going crazy with greed, she did not forget Qi Hong beside her.
After ordering, we waited for about ten minutes before the restaurant brought out the prepared food.
"Oh my god, that girl is so beautiful, the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life."
"Really, it's like a fairy descending from heaven. I feel like her whole body is glowing."
"If we could marry such a beautiful wife, we would wake up laughing in our dreams."
As Qi Xu picked up his chopsticks and prepared to dig into his meal, he heard the entire restaurant become restless. The men next to him all looked towards the door, and some even had shiny liquid flowing from their lips...
She looked in the direction everyone was heading and saw Chen Lin. The way she walked towards the ordering area was indeed a bit coquettish, but in her opinion, it was not as exaggerated as those men said.
She turned around and looked at her old man and Jiang Hongyi. Qi Hong was probably really hungry and had already started eating.
Jiang Hongyi was obviously not affected by Chen Lin's arrival at all. "Um, don't you think Chen Lin is pretty?"
Qi Xu didn't know why this aloof gentleman was as calm as ever, so he asked.
"Just the appearance of a normal woman."
He said less than ten words in total, and the question was answered, leaving Qi Xu scratching his head in confusion.
Since she couldn't figure it out, she decided not to think about it anymore. The food in front of her was more important. She quickly adapted to the sudden commotion in the restaurant and started eating.
The food looks tempting on the surface, but it tastes so salty and bitter that it is hard to swallow.
Qi Xu had a mouthful of rice in his mouth, which he couldn't swallow or spit out. It was stuck in his throat and his entire mouth was filled with the fishy smell of seafood.
"Captain Jiang, there's no one sitting here, right? Do you mind letting me sit?"
Just as she was hesitating whether to swallow the food in her mouth, Chen Lin appeared at the table where they were.
Jiang Hongyi didn't look up to answer, but looked at her as if waiting for her answer.
Damn it! Swallow this damn food quickly!
Qi Xu realized that he was suddenly called out and had to swallow the food in his mouth, so he stretched his neck and rolled his Adam's apple up and down to force himself to swallow the food.
"No one, Comrade Chen Lin, please take a seat."
After she finally swallowed the food, she felt that not only her entire mouth was filled with the fishy smell of the sea, but her entire throat and even esophagus were also filled with the fishy smell of the sea.
Qi Xu lost his appetite instantly when he saw the seafood fried rice in front of him, and pushed the plate forward with some disgust.
"Mrs. Jiang, you don't know that these seafood are all caught by fishermen from the islands who work tirelessly out to sea from morning till night."
When Qi Xu was thinking about how to deal with this seafood fried rice, he heard Chen Lin's ambiguous voice.
The implication of her words seemed to be that she was going to throw the food away and waste it the next second.
When she was about to look up to explain, she saw a faint black and red smoke-like aura emanating from around Chen Lin's body.
I can smell the scent of an evil spirit, but why does Chen Lin, a cultural and art soldier in the Political Department of Keibin Island, have the scent of an evil spirit?
Qi Xu's suspicions made her wary, and her sharp eyes were concealed for a moment. "The seafood must have been caught by fishermen, and the rice must have been grown by farmers. Comrade Chen Lin doesn't need to explain this to me."
"I'm just not used to the taste of seafood right now, so I want to wait until it cools down a bit and isn't so hot before eating it."
Qi Xu had just finished explaining when Jiang Hongyi moved the plate in front of her and put half of her seafood fried rice in his own bowl. "This is a bit too much. You probably can't finish it."
Qi Xu was a little uncomfortable with Jiang Hongyi's sudden thoughtful gesture, and he quickly said thank you.
The interaction between the two of them without anyone else around made Chen Lin angry, and there was more jealousy in her eyes.
"Oh~ I didn't realize that. With Sister Jiang's plump figure, I thought she must have a good appetite. How come her stomach is only the size of a chicken's crop?"
"Captain Jiang, isn't the amount you left a little too little? I'm afraid my sister-in-law won't have enough to eat."
In the blink of an eye, Chen Lin inexplicably began to target Qi Xu. She thought to herself that someone's bad love life was going to affect her again.
"Haha, Comrade Chen Lin, don't look at my big size. I eat little, but I absorb it quickly."
She quickly pulled the plate back to her place, and when she responded with a fake smile, she saw that the black and red smoke on Chen Lin's body became even stronger.
This time she felt the smell of attractant emitted by this evil spirit, which is commonly known as the smell that seduces men.
What ordinary people smell is the fragrance of perfume, only she can smell the stench of evil spirits.
The answer was obvious. Really, she wasn't going to have to deal with someone's bad love life, was she? What a sin!
Qi Xu didn't know how long Chen Lin had been seducing men in this way, and how many men she had seduced, but this shady trick seemed to be useless in front of the cold and aloof Mr. Jiang Hongyi.
