Qiao Xuejun held his big hands with both hands and took them off her head: "We topped the cotton last night. Zhao Xian, the cotton has already bloomed... Have you seen the cotton flowers? They are pink and purple. When we return, they will be in full bloom."
Zhao Xian: “Never seen it.”
Qiao Xuejun: "It's okay, I'll pick one for you when the time comes."
Zhao Xian smiled: "Okay, remember to give it to me."
Qiao Xuejun became more energetic when she said this, and added: "When the flowers fade, they will become cotton bolls."
"In another month and a half, the cotton bolls will be ripe and burst open, and we can start to harvest them!"
"Zhao Xian, if successful, we can have 6,000 kilograms of cotton wool this time, which can make a thousand large cotton-padded jackets! This way, we can have some surplus winter clothing at our base."
Zhao Xian looked at her slightly smug expression and felt proud of her. His teacher Qiao was truly amazing.
He sincerely praised him and said, "Teacher Qiao has worked hard and made great contributions."
Qiao Xuejun was even more proud when she heard Zhao Xian's flattery: "It's good that you know! Well, I'm going to rest now, you can leave now!"
Zhao Xian smiled and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
He stepped back to the door and turned off the light.
The room fell into darkness again.
When Qiao Xuejun saw him opening the door to go out, she called out again, "Zhao Xian."
Zhao Xian paused and turned to look at her: "Hmm?"
Qiao Xuejun advised: "You should also rest early. Don't force yourself, okay?"
Seeing her serious confession, Zhao Xian's heart softened: "Yeah. I know."
Zhao Xian walked out and closed the door gently, leaving Qiao Xuejun in the room to rest in peace.
He walked out and planned to go to the engine room to check the situation.
As soon as he walked out, he picked up the radio. When the communication signal came, he heard Ren Wangwang's voice: "Mountain Eagle calling the captain, Mountain Eagle calling the captain."
"Got it. Go on."
Ren Wangwang: "Captain, have you seen Teacher Qiao? I just settled a few experts and professors, and I didn't see Teacher Qiao when I went up to the top cockpit. Zhao Yun said you took Teacher Qiao away, but I haven't taken her to her room yet! I didn't call her over the radio."
Zhao Xian: "She is in my room. Don't disturb her, she is resting."
Ren Wangwang: "Oh! I was wondering why he was gone. Captain, how did you sneak him into your room? Did Teacher Qiao know?"
Zhao Xian: "You have so much to say, are you free?"
Ren Wangwang tactfully replied, "I'll go see if the engine department needs my help. Goodbye, Captain."

It was Qiao Xuejun’s first time sleeping on a boat. She originally thought that she would not be able to sleep well, but she was too sleepy and with the help of air conditioning, she fell asleep quickly.
But just when she was sleeping soundly, there was a sudden loud bang in her ears, the boat shook violently, and she immediately opened her eyes.
Originally, you couldn't hear any wind or sea sound in this cabin rest room, but now you can hear the sound of waves hitting the cabin.
Still very big.
Qiao Xuejun immediately stood up, walked to the window, pulled open the short curtain, and looked out.
It was pitch black outside the glass, no moon or stars, just pure black. The waves of the sea were shimmering more and more, and the entire ship was shaking.
“Bang!”
Another big wave hit the boat, causing it to sway violently back and forth.
The chair in front of the desk slammed against the wall.
Qiao Xuejun immediately remembered what the meteorologist had said before. He said there was a storm area in the northwest and they were at the edge of the storm area. Was the storm area expanding?
Qiao Xuejun then looked at her watch in the dim night light. It was 12:30 noon.
It's been nearly 7 hours. Have we arrived in the city by now?
Qiao Xuejun pulled the curtains again, turned on the lights, and began to rummage through the drawers.
Logically, there should be life jackets and the like in these rooms.
Sure enough, on the wardrobe by the door, Qiao Xuejun found several pieces of clothes, all orange-red in color, with labels on them: winter clothes, immersion suits, and life jackets.
"Captain's notice, Captain's notice—"
The ship's broadcast blared in the corridor outside and into the room.
"Everyone, please pay attention. Please find the life jackets in the life-saving equipment storage cabinet in the room, put them on, and wait for the captain's instructions at any time."
On the radio, the captain's voice was just like the way he felt as a person, clear, calm and reliable.
"Please don't go out in the living area! Don't go out! And don't stay on the deck!"
"We are currently experiencing a force 8 gale, but we are not in the center of the storm. We are only sailing on the edge and are affected. Please believe that we will be able to dock safely."
"During this period, please do not panic and wait for the captain's instructions."
"Repeat. Please go to the life-saving equipment storage cabinet in the room..."
It was repeated three times during the broadcast.
Qiao Xuejun originally wanted to go out to see the situation, but the captain told her to stay in the living area and not move, so she suppressed her anxious mood, wrapped herself in her life jacket and sat down, not wanting to go out and cause trouble.
The boat was shaking so much that she couldn't sit on the bed anymore, so she sat on the floor, lowered her center of gravity, hugged her knees, and leaned against the angle between the wall and the bed. She shook with the boat.
The system's voice appeared, somewhat anxiously: "Host, will everything be alright?"
Qiao Xuejun calmly asked, "Can't you figure it out?"
System: "I figured... it should be fine. Logically speaking, this trip should be the part where the relationship between the hero and heroine develops. It's a little dangerous, but not fatal."
Qiao Xuejun: "I saw Huo Antu, but not Shen Xingtang. Is she on the boat too?"
System: "...I didn't detect her. She's hiding."
Qiao Xuejun: "...She is hiding from me? Did she see me boarding the ship?"
System: “Maybe.”
Qiao Xuejun frowned: "Be more cautious. Keep an eye on their energy movements at all times, and tell me if there are any problems."
System: “OK.”
Qiao Xuejun added: "It would be best if Huo Antu also monitors it."
System: "Okay, if he appears on the deck, I will monitor him."
It is already 12:30. There are about 3 hours of daylight during this period, usually from 1 to 4 in the afternoon.
The sun will come out in half an hour.
