Chapter 36 I have a fever. I hope you live longer.

After dinner, we have some free time.

There are many fun things on the boat. The sunshine in the morning is very good. It is comfortable to do nothing but lie on the beach chair on the deck to bask in the sun and look at the scenery on the sea.

At least that's the way it seems to most people.

Ye Man sat on the bench on the deck for a while, his mind was empty. Most activities were a bit dangerous for him in his current situation. If he wasn't careful, something might go wrong. It was actually the safest to stay like this.

Xiao Wu has always been by his side. He is a highly qualified and careful assistant and has not made any mistakes during this period. However, it is still difficult for Ye Man to completely trust his safety to another person.

He doesn't trust anyone except himself.

A beach ball rolled into his feet. Ye Man was not prepared and was frightened. His heart skipped a beat, but after a while, he realized that there was no danger and slowly relaxed.

As for this situation, he estimated that it would take a long time to get used to those sudden sounds and contacts.

Xiao Wu picked up the ball and handed it to a little boy who was running after the ball. The boy was wearing overalls and was about five or six years old.

Xiao Wu: "Master, it's a little boy."

The child took the ball and didn't leave. He looked at Ye Man curiously: "Brother, why don't you go play? Why are you just sitting here without moving?"

It would have been fine if he didn't talk to Ye Man, but as soon as he started talking to her, Ye Man became angry and interested.

"Brother Tong! The fun is coming!"

The excited tone made the system deduct a question mark.

Ye Man leaned forward gently, "Because, I am actually a great magician hidden among the crowd."

The child held the ball and opened his mouth blankly.

"Last night, I observed the stars," Ye Man raised a finger, completely ignoring the fact that he was blind, and said nonsense, "It said that today a little boy's ball will accidentally fly to my feet. This person is the next great magician chosen by fate. Kid, do you want to learn magic from me?"

The little boy hesitated, "I still..."

Ye Man: "This is my last spot for a disciple, don't let someone else take it right away. How about this, since you are a cute and sensible child, I will give you a break in the test later. Are you ready? Do you want to become my disciple? If you miss this opportunity, you will never have it again. Three, two, one, connect——"

System: "Did you mean link up?"

Little boy: “Yes!”

Ye Man smiled proudly.

No one can resist hunger marketing.

He used this trick in the store and it always worked. From 75 to 5 years old, he would just say this was the last time and they would all be unable to walk.

He stretched out his hand and let the little boy pass the ball to him: "I will throw the ball to you later. As long as you can catch a hundred balls, you can pass the entrance test of Master Ye and become a new little magician. Do you have the confidence?"

The little boy blinked his eyes: "Yes!"

"Okay, then turn around and walk back twenty steps. When you get there, remember to report to me loudly."

Next, the system and Xiao Wu watched in amazement as Ye Man threw the ball in a parabola like he was teasing a puppy, and then watched the little boy catch the ball, happily run over to hand it to Ye Man, run out, staring over here, waiting for Ye Man to throw it again.

Throw one and catch one, and never get tired of it.

Xiao Wu: “…”

System: "......"

Someone is taking the kids out to play here!

Chi Jue came to deliver drinks halfway through the trip. Seeing that Ye Man was having a good time, Chi Jue took his assistant to pack the things they would need for getting off the boat.

On the other side of the deck, the child's father Luo Jian was watching with great interest his son being slipped away in a daze. The father was happier than the one who slipped the child away.

Kids of this age are very noisy, so having someone to help them expend their energy is less of a hassle. Besides, this is Xu Huaiting's boat, and there are countless of his own people watching around. With him watching here, there's no need to worry about anything happening.

Xu Huaiting stood next to Luo Jian, leaning on the railing, holding a cigarette in his hand, and his lips curled up.

The two men were chatting idly.

The two hadn't seen each other for a while since Xu Huaiting returned home. Luo Jian didn't expect Xu Huaiting to invite him to bring his family over to play.

When Xu Huaiting first joined the army, his squad leader was Luo Jian.

Luo Jian heard from the beginning that this man had an extraordinary background, and wondered whether he should give him a break. However, he did not expect Xu Huaiting to be so cruel to him, picking up the most dangerous missions and almost walking on the front line of danger day and night, going through life and death, and rising like a rocket in a few years.

When he was injured the most, his well-known backstage agent did not send anyone to check on him, and just left him to die. Xu Huaiting himself did not say anything, and after he recovered from his injuries, he continued to fight for his life, which made Luo Jian doubt several times that the news he had heard at the beginning that this man had a backstage agent was wrong.

"How has it been these past two years?" Luo Jian lowered his voice. "Is your house still the same?"

Xu Huaiting said calmly: "Just a few grasshoppers, they can't do anything special."

"You haven't got back your mother's last relic yet?"

Half of the things that Xu Huaiting's mother brought back from Xixili were destroyed after her death, and the other half were snatched back. However, it is said that there is still one thing left that is of extraordinary significance and extremely important, and it is in the hands of someone in the Xu family and has not been taken back to this day.

Worried that the other party would get desperate and simply destroy the thing, Xu Huaiting has been quite lenient towards those people over the years.

Maybe his attitude gave Xu Weibing and the others the wrong impression that he had been making a lot of small moves recently.

"Not yet," Xu Huaiting replied, and after thinking for a moment, he added, "Soon."

Having said this, knowing Xu Huaiting's character, Luo Jian did not ask any further questions.

His family has been in the army for three generations, but compared with a giant like the Xu family, it's nothing. That kind of vortex is not something an ordinary person like him can get involved in.

At his age, with a wife and children, and a warm bed, he is in the prime of his life, so it is better for him to mind his own business.

Luo Jian smiled and changed the subject: "My child can already cook soy sauce, what about you? You haven't met a girl you like in all these years?" Xu Huaiting didn't say anything. Luo Jian followed his gaze and looked at the young man who was as pretty as a girl. As he looked at him, something flashed through his mind. He suddenly turned to look at the person next to him and exclaimed exaggeratedly.

Xu Huaiting put out his cigarette and waved his hand casually: "It's time to get off the boat. Go pick up your son."

......

Ye Man enjoyed bullying the children.

The little boy happened to catch 100 balls. His father came over. The boy didn’t care whether he wanted to be his disciple or not. He ran into Luo Jian’s arms with a red face and said happily: “I caught 100 balls!”

The man grabbed his shirt and wiped the sweat off his face: "That's amazing!"

Ye Man stretched lazily and smelled a familiar smell of cigarettes, a little stronger than usual.

The action froze, "Mr. Xu?"

"It's me."

Ye Manyu said "oh" and tugged at the hem of her clothes in confusion.

As Luo Jian was talking to his son, he heard a voice full of doubt.

"Always smoking...is not good."

Turning around, they saw the young man they had been watching for a long time standing in front of Xu Huaiting, saying something.

The two stood very close to each other, Xu Huaiting lowered his head, looking nonchalant, but his eyes were focused.

"People who smoke all the time won't live long."

The person who spoke was very young, but his tone was one of earnest advice that he had seen many times.

"Do you want me to live longer?" Xu Huaiting asked.

"Um......"

"Okay, I won't smoke anymore."

"real?"

"I never make empty promises to anyone. I always keep my word."

The person opposite smiled happily.

Luo Jian opened his mouth, wanting to say that Xu Huaiting didn't smoke much, so he just lit the cigarette and left it there. This person didn't like to use anything to escape from depression. He was very vigilant and never touched things like cigarettes and alcohol that could easily make people lose their minds.

Xu Huaiting seemed to know what he was thinking. He looked over at him accurately and told Luo Jian to hold his words back.

I seriously suspect that Xu Huaiting didn't tell the truth just to make people worry about him. Although he looks calm and relaxed on the surface, who knows how he is enjoying it in his heart.

"Let me introduce you. This is my former squad leader. He was very kind to me."

Luo Jian looked at Xu Huaiting in surprise. Not many people knew that he had a good relationship with Xu Huaiting, but today he actually took the initiative to introduce him to others.

Xu Huaiting: "This is Chi Yeman, the youngest son of the Chi family."

Luo Jian waited for a long time, still waiting for him to say who this person was.

This is not a business meeting. When friends get to know each other, they naturally have to talk about who the other party is and who they are as middlemen. The relationship between Luo Jian and Xu Huaiting is very clear: comrade-in-arms, former superior, and friend. What about this Mr. Chi Yeman?

But there was no further news about Xu Huaiting.

Luo Jian could only say hello casually.

Ye Man had never expected that when he was just playing with a child, he would end up grabbing the head of the son of someone his ancestor knew, and he felt a little embarrassed.

"Brother Tong, the living ancestor won't be angry, right?"

The system looked at the man who was standing there and talking a lot but didn't leave, and said unhappily: "Don't be angry, just put your heart at ease."

Ye Man breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the living ancestor is broad-minded and will not bother with him about such a small matter.

......

The cruise ship will dock at 2pm the next day and the fireworks will be at 10pm.

This is free time, where you can stroll around and shop.

The organizer booked local accommodation for everyone. They would stay here for one night. Ye Man stayed in a large house with a yard.

The receptionist introduced it to them enthusiastically: "This was originally the residence of an old noble family. The yard is landscaped with rockeries and streams, and a century-old pine tree was specially transplanted here."

Chi Jue noticed that Ye Man's complexion became worse and worse and his spirits became not so good after he got off the boat.

When asked if he felt unwell, Ye Man shook his head and said, "Maybe I haven't recovered from seasickness yet."

He seemed fine when he woke up in the morning, but not long after he came down, he was not feeling well again.

Ye Man didn't want to say.

He thought about holding back, still thinking about the fireworks party in the evening.

As a result, in the late afternoon, I developed a high fever.

Chi Jue went to the receptionist of the hotel and prepared to call a doctor, but the receptionist asked him to wait a moment and called Xu Huaiting.

Ten minutes later, the doctor arrived.

Also coming along were Xu Huaiting and Secretary Chen.

After all, this is a strange place, and we don't speak the language very well. Money can solve problems, but it's not so easy to solve them quickly.

Seeing that Xu Huaiting actually came in person, Chi Jue thanked him gratefully regardless of his thoughts.

When Ye Man woke up, a group of people surrounded him.

"You are too weak, your immunity is too low, and you are not used to the local climate. You need to stay in bed for a few days. Don't go out or walk around during these two days. I prescribed some medicine. Remember to supervise the patient to take the medicine on time, eat some nutritious supplements, and drink more water."

Ye Man grabbed the person beside him: "I'm fine, I'm going to the fireworks party..."

Most people may not understand why a blind man like him would attend a fireworks party, but people who have seen his case can understand it.

But he was almost burnt to death, he just vomited, he couldn't even get out of bed, and he couldn't stand any hardship at all. No matter how important fireworks are, are they as important as his body?

Chi Jue touched his head and said, "It's windy outside. You'll get sicker if you go. Take a good rest today and come back next time, okay?"

What if there isn't a next time?

Ye Man wanted to just take some ibuprofen.

But in the end, he didn't say this, he just replied quietly with "OK".
