"The captain said we can set sail the day after tomorrow."
The nine of them huddled together, looking at Qi Yanche with a sense of reluctance.
The boys were all silent, with Lu Yuan and Shen Lingfeng staring at the fire without saying a word.
Chen Yi looked up at the sky and said, "They have families and it's inconvenient for them to go together. I'll go with you."
Qi Yanche didn't even blink before refusing on the spot, "No, there are countless dangers along the way, you can't take risks with me."
"That's precisely because it's dangerous, that's why I can't let you go alone!" Chen Yi turned to look at Qi Yanche. "At least two people can keep each other company."
After Chen Yiyi finished speaking, Qi Yanche fell silent.
This was ultimately a matter between the two of them, and the girls simply sat on the sidelines without offering their opinions.
The situation remained deadlocked, as Qi Yanche refused to let any of them accompany him.
He looked at the flickering flames in front of him and said, “This is different from before. This time we have to cross the entire ocean. If anything goes wrong, we will perish at sea.”
Before even setting off, she was saying such discouraging things, and the girls all spat out three times in unison.
Hearing this, Chen Yiyi became even angrier. "Then why won't you let me come along? If I come along, at least we'll both have some peace of mind."
Qi Yanche looked bitter. "But I'm not confident about you coming with me. Anyway, you just can't go!"
After saying this, he got up and left.
Chen Yiyi wanted to rush up and argue with him, but the girls stopped her.
Cheng Zhi shook her head at Chen Yiyi, "Don't go. His mind is made up. You can't change anything if you say anything more."
Chen Yi stopped walking and sat down as if he had given up.
Although it was a cruel thing to say, Xiao Feiran still said it, "Let him go alone. If you force him to go with you, he will feel even more uneasy. He will not only have to worry about his parents, but also about you."
Chen Yiyi said with her eyes closed, "But I'm all alone. This past year, we've relied on each other for survival. Brother Yan is the closest person to me in this world. How can he not understand..."
Zheng Wan patted his shoulder, "How could Qi Yanche not understand? He only doesn't want to bring you along because he considers you family. He hopes you can stay here safely."
The night was ultimately too heavy, and everyone fell silent until the very end.
Lying on the bed in the cabin, Cheng Zhi and Xiao Feiran couldn't fall asleep.
Xiao Feiran had completely forgotten what happened that afternoon.
She sighed and said, "Why did this parting have to be so sudden? The cottage was just built, and he's already leaving."
Cheng Zhi said with her eyes closed, "It was really unexpected. The boys will probably have trouble sleeping tonight."
Cheng Ye, who was behind the partition, also said, "I wonder how long Yan-ge will have to drift at sea before he finds his parents. I hope he has a safe journey."
In another room, Zheng Wan and her older sister also had many feelings to share.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Zheng Hao sighed, "Going to the other side of the ocean to find my parents alone, with nothing but a vague divination, it's really worrying."
Zheng Wan lay on her sleeping bag and said, "I still have to go. They are my parents. How can I bear to leave them?"
In the girls' room, they could exchange a few words, but in the boys' room, it was deathly silent.
Lu Yuan took off his glasses and lowered his head.
Shen Lingfeng, sitting opposite him, was also lying on the bed without saying a word.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yuan slapped himself, saying, "We're really useless. If it were girls, they would have followed us no matter what!"
That night, everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts, and no one slept soundly.
When the parents came over and saw that they were all like this, they knew that something must have happened last night.
Cheng's mother pulled Cheng Ye aside and asked in a low voice, "Did you have a fight last night? Why do you all look so unhappy?"
Cheng Ye shook his head and said, "There was nothing unpleasant."
Cheng Ye told her mother what had happened last night, and her mother sighed upon hearing it.
Chen Yiyi was the last to get up, and even after getting up, she looked like she was about to collapse.
Huang Yiyi leaned closer to look and noticed that his eyes were bloodshot. "My God, didn't you sleep all night?"
Chen Yiyi covered her head and said, "That's about enough."
He took a deep breath and continued, "You have no idea, he told me last night that he was going to leave the fries behind, like he was entrusting his son to someone else."
Huang Yiyi was quite surprised to hear that Qi Yanche wasn't even bringing fries.
She couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat. "Oh my god, he even left the fries behind. How could he bear to do that? The fries must be really sad too."
Everything is still on the boat, and hasn't even been unloaded yet, which saves us the trouble of packing.
Qi Yanche was particularly relaxed, sitting on a wooden stool in front of the door, combing the fries.
After seeing this, Cheng Zhi came over and sat down. "Leaving tomorrow morning?"
Qi Yanche nodded. "Zoe said that as long as the weather is good, we can set off at any time."
Cheng Zhi pulled a small stun gun out of her pocket. "Here, take this. You can't be out alone without any self-defense tools."
Qi Yanche laughed when he saw the palm-sized Hello Kitty stun gun. "Won't people laugh at me for using this?"
Cheng Zhi shoved the things into his hands, saying, "Who cares if others laugh or not, as long as it's useful!"
Qi Yanche nodded, held it in his hand and gestured, "That's right, if anyone dares to laugh at me, I'll give them a good whack."
