Chapter 30: Rich People Eat Together
With the help of Mr. Fu, Ji Xia successfully caught two big fish. When he saw the fish floating in the bucket, his eyes sparkled, as if he had seen a handful of banknotes.
Mr. Fu took him to find a seaman for identification, and the conclusion was that these two were very common deep-sea fish and were not worth much, only about two hundred yuan in total.
Ji Xia's eyes widened. Two fish were worth about two hundred yuan. It turned out that fishing could be so profitable.
His clever little brain raced, thinking that once he was no longer involved in the plot and had earned enough money to redeem himself, he could find a small coastal town, run a bakery during the day, and fish at night to supplement his family income.
This way, life should be happy.
Hope is motivation, especially when that hope is still bright. Ji Xia was full of energy now, no longer afraid of the Alphas still on the deck. He just wanted to run back and catch two more buckets of fish.
Fu Yuan grabbed the man who was about to leave and said, "I'll go fishing with you this afternoon. Let's eat now."
After being reminded of this, Ji Xia finally felt hungry. Fu Yuan asked him what he wanted to eat. Ji Xia was never picky about food. He said, "I'm fine. I'll eat whatever Mr. Fu eats."
Fu Yuan took Ji Xia to the buffet restaurant on the 17th floor.
It was dinner time, and the buffet restaurant was quite crowded. When Ji Xia followed Mr. Fu in, she felt countless scorching gazes coming at her.
He secretly glanced around and found that apart from Alphas, most of the people looking at him were Omegas.
The Omegas' eyes were filled with a burning emotion that Ji Xia could hardly understand. However, after Fu Yuan's gaze swept across, those gazes all shrank back like frightened snails.
Nothing else happened during the meal, but when Ji Xia went to choose food alone, two Omegas with exquisite makeup came up to him from the left and right and started chatting with him enthusiastically.
Ji Xia was not good at handling such social situations, so she quickly picked her things and left.
One of the adorable Omegas gently tugged at the corner of his clothes and pleaded pitifully, "Brother Ji, can you please help me? I really can't get off the boat like this. I have two younger brothers and a younger sister at home, and I have to bring money back. Can you teach me, please?"
Ji Xia's eyes were filled with confusion and puzzlement, and she said, "I don't know you."
The cute Omega smiled and said, "My name is Zhang Songming. Brother, just call me Mingming. Now we know each other. Brother, can you teach me how to win the heart of an Alpha? If I succeed, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
Ji Xia's mind suddenly wandered to the "Substantial Fee for a Child" advertisements posted on rural telephone poles. He paused for a moment before speaking, "I'm sorry. I can't help you. I don't know how to win the heart of an Alpha."
After saying that, he walked away quickly.
Zhang Songming wanted to drag the man out for a thorough interrogation, but when he noticed the cold look Alpha gave him, he had to give up the idea. The innocent eyes that had just flickered in his eyes were instantly filled with resentment.
After lunch, Fu Yuan took Ji Xia fishing for the rest of the afternoon, and they had a good catch. Ji Xia sold the fish to the restaurant on the cruise ship, making a small profit.
Ji Xia was overjoyed. To thank Mr. Fu, he invited him to attend the garden party on the ninth floor tonight. He had seen this in the brochure he received before leaving the restaurant.
The brochure introduced the cruise ship's activities tonight, most of which were Western-style, such as concerts, masquerade balls, etc. Ji Xia chose a Chinese-style garden party.
The reason is that after reading the introduction above, I feel that this is a place I can afford.
Every activity on the cruise ship is very exquisite and immersive.
The ninth deck is covered in a variety of Chinese lanterns, emitting a warm glow in the dark night. A variety of small shops offer a variety of authentic snacks and local delicacies, as well as entertainment such as lantern riddles, pot-tossing games, and dart-throwing.
As soon as he entered the garden party, Ji Xia saw a stall selling candied haws. His eyes lit up, and he raised his chin proudly and said, "Mr. Fu, I'll treat you to candied haws. I have money."
Fu Yuan said, "You can try it."
Ji Xia agreed and ran over to buy it.
He originally wanted two strings, but the candied haws here were very generous, and each string had ten large, round hawthorns on it. He couldn't finish them all, so he decided to buy one string first.
Then he realized that everything at the garden party was free and he didn't need to pay anything.
After Ji Xia finished selecting, she ran back to Fu Yuan and handed the candied haws to Alpha's mouth, saying, "Mr. Fu, one bunch is too much for me to finish. Let's eat it together. You try it first."
Fu Yuan thought for a moment before saying, "You try it first."
Ji Xia had long been craving the candied haws covered in shimmering syrup, so he took a bite without hesitation. Just as he had bitten off the hawthorn, sugar coating included, a slender hand grabbed his chin.
Ji Xia looked at the Alpha in confusion. Fu Yuan had already lowered his head and bit his lip. Then, his rough tongue pushed open his teeth and entered his mouth, sweeping away the candy coating and a small piece of hawthorn that Ji Xia had just bitten off.
Fu Yuan let go of Ji Xia's chin, tasted the food in his mouth for a while, and said, "Not bad."
Ji Xia's beautiful big eyes were wide open because of shock. He had a dazed look on his face and stood there motionless like a little idiot.
Tongue...tongue, come in.
No one knew where the red started, but it spread at lightning speed. In just a blink of an eye, Ji Xia was as bright red as a light bulb, and her whole body was burning.
But the instigator asked him calmly, "What's wrong? Didn't you say you wanted to eat together?"
Ji Xia raised his head and met Alpha's calm gaze for a moment. Suddenly, he felt that he seemed to be making a fuss too much. The idea of rich people eating together might be different from what he understood.
Moreover, Butler Xu said that Mr. Fu doesn't like sweets, so maybe only in this way would Mr. Fu want to eat some.
He stammered, "Nothing, nothing." After a pause, he asked, "Mr. Fu, do you want to eat more?"
Fu Yuan looked at him and said nothing.
They were standing in a corner, the light was dim, and Alpha was facing away from the light, so the emotions in his eyes couldn't be seen clearly. But even if he could see it clearly, Ji Xia probably wouldn't be able to understand it.
From time to time, sounds drifted over from not far away, making the quiet night a little more lively.
Ji Xia hesitated for a moment, took another small bite of the candied haws, then raised her head and looked at Alpha with her beautiful big eyes, thinking, if Mr. Fu didn't want to eat it anymore, he could eat it himself.
Fu Yuan moved closer and asked, "Why do you still want me to eat?"
Ji Xia had something in her mouth and her words were a little slurred, but her tone was very serious. She said, "Eating sweets can make people happy. You are the best person in the world. I hope you can be happier too."
Fu Yuan, who suddenly got a good guy card: ...
He asked, "What if other Alphas want to eat it too?"
Ji Xia blurted out without hesitation: "Only give it to Mr. Fu, no one else."
Fu Yuan seemed to be pleased by his words. He curled the corners of his mouth slightly and lowered his head to kiss the Omega's lips again.
Ji Xia's body trembled slightly, and when the Alpha's tongue probed in, he obediently opened his mouth. This time, the Alpha's tongue swept in his mouth for a long time before withdrawing.
Ji Xia didn't hold it in his mouth, and a little saliva flowed out from the corner of his mouth. He was so dizzy from the kiss that he didn't notice it at all.
Fu Yuan raised his hand and gently wiped it off for him with the tip of his thumb, saying, "There are a lot of desserts over there. If you don't like them, go over and take a look."
Ji Xia was still in a state of inactivity, his head smoking and his ears red as blood. He followed Mr. Fu, moving forward hand in hand.
But soon, his attention was attracted by the iron flower making and Sichuan Opera face changing, and he forgot the kiss that made him blush and heartbeat.
"Mr. Fu, this is amazing! Wow!"
Little O, a country boy who had never seen the world, shouted excitedly, the brilliant colors of the iron flowers reflected in his eyes.
When the performance was about to end, Ji Xia looked back with a sense of reluctance, but did not see Fu Yuan.
Ji Xia searched everywhere but couldn't find Mr. Fu. Then she realized belatedly that he had been so engrossed in the performance that he had lost himself.
Ji Xia looked around for a moment, worried that if he wandered off, he might miss Mr. Fu. After some thought, he decided to stay where he was and wait for Mr. Fu to find him. To avoid running into the Alphas, he retreated to a dimly lit area behind the lanterns.
As soon as he stood up, he heard the sound of quarreling from behind. Normally, in such a situation, Ji Xia would stay away from it, but he seemed to hear Xu Le's voice.
Ji Xia had originally wanted to go find Xu Le today, but he was worried about running into the Alphas if he went alone, and it was obviously inappropriate to ask Mr. Fu to go to the Omega's room with him. He just called the intercom, but no one answered.
He followed the sound, walked around the barrier behind the lantern, and saw several Omegas arguing about something by the dimly lit swimming pool.
Looking from his side, he was facing Xu Le, while the other Omegas all had their backs to him. Clearly, this was a situation where the majority was bullying the minority.
When Ji Xia's alarm clock flashed the thought that Xu Le was bullied, his body was faster than his brain. When he came to his senses, he had already rushed over and shouted, "What are you doing?"
Hearing the sound, several Omegas turned their heads.
Ji Xia recognized the leader as Zhang Songming whom he met in the restaurant today.
Zhang Songming no longer had the obedient manner he had shown in the morning. His eyes were a little fierce. Seeing Ji Xia, he sneered and said, "You have someone backing you up, so I won't touch you. But don't let me see you again. Otherwise, you'll have a hard time. Get out of here!"
While they were talking, Xu Le rushed to Ji Xia's side.
He made a face at Zhang Songming, changing his previous timidity and said arrogantly, "Zhang Songming, I'm warning you, if you dare to do anything to me, I will immediately have President Fu throw you off the boat."
Zhang Songming's face twisted with anger, but he didn't dare to do anything to Xu Le, because he knew that what Xu Le said would come true. Given how much Fu Yuan valued this Omega, if he really provoked him, he would be thrown off the boat in a matter of minutes.
He glared at Ji Xia fiercely and was about to leave with his men. When passing by Xu Le, he suddenly gave him a push and pushed Xu Le into the swimming pool.
Ji Xia subconsciously tried to pull the person, but he was too weak and failed to hold on to the person, who was directly carried into the swimming pool.
Xu Le could swim, and he quickly pulled Ji Xia ashore.
Sitting by the pool, he laughed and said, "Xia Xia, thank you. If it weren't for you, my face would be bruised tomorrow."
Ji Xia brushed her wet hair and asked, "Why did they want to beat you?"
Xu Le said proudly, "Last night, he and I both had our eyes on the same Alpha, but he chose me in the end, and he's holding a grudge against me. Oh, and remember that time when our costumes were torn? He was the one who did that. Ugh, there are these wicked people everywhere."
Ji Xia didn't expect that the Omega named Zhang Songming was so bad, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
The sea was very cold at night. He was wet all over and couldn't help shivering when the night wind blew.
Xu Le stood up, wrung out his soaked clothes, and asked, "Why are you alone? Where's your Mr. Fu?"
Ji Xia also imitated him and said, "I got separated from Mr. Fu."
Xu Le patted his shoulder and said, "Come on. I'll help you look for it. By the way, can you please leave your contact information? I can still come and visit you after I get off the boat."
Ji Xia gave Xu Le the phone number.
Xu Le took out a piece of paper and pen from somewhere, wrote down a note and put it in his pocket, then said with a smile, "I'll add you when I get back."
The two of them walked back to the garden party, wet all over.
As soon as they reached the place where iron flowers were being made, Ji Xia saw Mr. Fu, whose face was so cold that it could freeze.
