Jiang Can finished showering and went out onto the deck.
The sun was directly overhead, so it must be noon. Although it was autumn, the temperature was still quite high, and the deck was warm from the sun, making it very comfortable to walk on barefoot.
Jiang Can saw Yin Ruohong sitting at the bow of the boat.
Yin Ruohong also noticed her and turned around to greet her.
“Uncle.” Jiang Can nodded with a smile.
Yin Ruohong gestured for her to sit next to him.
"Where's your boyfriend?" he asked her with a smile.
“He went to do laundry,” Jiang Can said, pointing to the woods. “It’s over by the spring.”
Yin Ruohong rolled his eyes, leaned closer to her and whispered, "When you two are at home... he usually does the laundry, right?"
“There is an old maid in the house who usually does all the housework.”
Yin Ruohong frowned. "So this little brat is lazy and doesn't do anything?"
Jiang Can was taken aback, then gave an awkward laugh.
She didn't understand why this uncle cared so much.
Perhaps because his own children are not around, he also needs to experience the authority of being a father.
What a strange old man...
"Hmm... Actually, Zhixing does quite a lot. He's washing clothes right now! He never lets me touch cold water."
"Oh, that's alright."
Ever since meeting Huo Zhixing, the father-in-law has automatically generated a table in his mind.
Get points for doing it right, lose points for doing it wrong.
So far, Huo Zhixing's score is negative.
Yin Ruohong pouted and muttered under her breath, "What's so great about not letting you touch cold water... A real man shouldn't let his woman touch cold water! What if she catches a cold?"
"Uncle, what did you say?"
"Oh, it's nothing!" Yin Ruohong put on a smile. "I have to say, Young Master Huo is really great. You two are both lucky to be with him!"
Jiang Can blushed and smiled shyly.
Seeing that her hair wasn't completely dry, Yin Ruohong quickly took off his hat and put it on her.
"No need, uncle!"
"No!" Yin Ruohong became serious. "Eighty percent of the body's heat is released from the top of the head. You must protect your little head, or you'll get sick!"
Jiang Can no longer refused.
Yin Ruohong put the hat on her and then carefully took off her own scarf and wrapped it around her as well.
A warm feeling welled up in her heart as she quietly looked at Yin Ruohong. She had never received much fatherly love, yet she felt a strong connection with this older man she had met a few times.
How wonderful it would be if he were my father...
What are you thinking about?
Jiang Can was taken aback and looked up to meet Yin Ruohong's loving gaze.
She snapped out of her daze and forced a smile. "It's nothing."
“You’re an adult now.” Yin Ruohong smiled, her expression complex. “No matter what happens, you must learn to take care of yourself and protect yourself.”
"Um……"
"I'm not just talking about these details of daily life," Yin Ruohong lowered her voice and pointed towards the woods. "Also, you need to be careful to protect yourself when you're with him, understand?"
Jiang Can looked confused. "What do you mean?"
"You silly child!" Yin Ruohong said anxiously, "Men are all unreliable. You must never rely on him too much. Always leave yourself a way out! Do you understand now?"
Jiang Can chuckled to herself.
The comment, "Men are all unreliable," tickled her funny bone. Was this older man, after all, the same way he viewed himself?
“Uncle, not all men are the same!” Jiang Can chuckled. “I have a lot of confidence in my man; he’s not the kind of person you’re describing.”
"Fool! Do bad people write 'bad' on their foreheads?"
Yin Ruohong was both anxious and amused. "Let me tell you from my own experience, you must think more about yourself! And you can't easily trust anyone!"
"Your personal experience?" Jiang Can quickly grasped the key point, "What did you experience?"
“I…” Yin Ruohong’s expression changed, and he fell silent.
What could he say? How could he have wronged her mother and taken possession of the Yin family?
Or should I just tell her that he's an unreliable man and not worth trusting?
However, in her presence, he suddenly lost the courage to be honest about everything.
Yin Ruohong slowly stood up, waved his hand, and walked towards the yacht's cockpit.
Jiang Can regretted asking that question earlier; it had been very impolite.
Actually, she had a very good impression of this uncle. When Huo Zhixing called him Chairman Yin, she realized that he also had the surname Yin.
Perhaps it's because he shares the same surname as his mother, but Jiang Can always feels a strange sense of closeness to him.
She paused for a moment, then followed Yin Ruohong into the cockpit.
At this moment, Yin Ruohong was in front of the main control panel, operating the equipment step by step according to the instruction manual.
Huo Zhixing had just finished washing clothes and returned.
"What happened?" He stood at the cockpit door, looking at Jiang Can. "Could it be that he..."
"He's figured out how to activate the yacht's signal system!" Jiang Can exclaimed excitedly.
Huo Zhixing rushed to help, and the power was turned on in the control panel, with the main screen lighting up immediately.
Although there is no cell phone signal here, the yacht's own network system is usable.
The network connection is intermittent, and the coordinates in the grid appear and disappear intermittently.
“This is enough.” Huo Zhixing analyzed calmly, carefully entered a series of characters on the screen, and pressed send. “As long as there is a little signal here, we can be located, and the information will be transmitted to Lao Bai’s phone sooner or later.”
"That way he can come and save us!"
Yin Ruohong nodded, a rare hint of approval in his eyes.
Huo Zhixing tried to send a message to Bai Jingyuan using internationally recognized characters and the yacht's built-in signal.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, the first message was finally sent.
He sent them their exact location directly.
Next, Huo Zhixing contacted several more people: Lu Lishan, Shen Xiao, and Fang Han. The more people who knew, the greater their chances of winning.
"Let's pause for a moment and turn it off." Yin Ruohong patted his wrist. "Even if we find a way to get help, the yacht's battery is low, so we still need to use it sparingly."
“Okay.” Huo Zhixing agreed, “Then we’ll send it tomorrow.”
“If I send two or three messages a day, someone will eventually receive them. I’ve calculated that the food on the yacht can last for about a week, and even if the network is intermittent, the message can still be delivered within two days.”
"So, we'll be able to leave here soon!"
"Great!" Jiang Can breathed a sigh of relief. "Now I'll go prepare some food and tidy up a bit... If we can't leave for the time being, I'll also take stock of what we have left, so I'll know what's going on."
Huo Zhixing nodded.
Just as he was about to shut down the main control board, a new message suddenly flashed on the screen!
Yin Ruohong was also surprised and gestured for him to open it and take a look.
Huo Zhixing clicked on it, but there were only three words inside: Save me.
