Hearing the light and even breathing sounds coming from the inside of the bed, Pei Yang's mouth corners slightly raised, and then he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When she woke up the next day, Pei Yang was already up. The support bed beside the bed was folded up. Seeing that she was awake, Pei Yang smiled.

As if he was afraid of disturbing Pei Ziheng who was still sleeping, he deliberately lowered his voice, and his already deep and magnetic voice inexplicably became more doting, "You can sleep a little longer, I'm going to a meeting at work, and I'll be back around 10 o'clock. When I come back, I'll take you out for a walk."

Shen Mingzhu hummed and got out of bed quietly.

If Pei Yang hadn't come back, she could have continued to sleep in with peace of mind. But now that Pei Yang was here, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

She slept in her pajamas, and it was inconvenient for her to change clothes in front of Pei Yang, so she just put on a cotton coat and planned to wash up first before changing clothes.

As soon as she opened the door of the public bathroom, Shen Mingzhu was stunned.

Men, all men!

There were seven or eight young men full of vigor standing in front of the water table. Even in the middle of winter, they were all wearing vests and shorts, some of them even had their torsos shaved off, with their strong chest and abdominal muscles clearly exposed, glowing with a healthy and charming luster. The whole public bathroom was filled with strong male hormones.

When Shen Mingzhu looked at them, they also looked at Shen Mingzhu.

"Where did this woman come from?"

"It seems to be Yang Ge's wife..."

Shen Mingzhu was watching with great interest when her vision suddenly went dark as someone covered her eyes. Before she could react, her waist tightened and her feet left the ground.

When her vision returned, she had been carried to the corridor outside the bathroom.

Pei Yang, a tall and strong man, stood in front of her, his hands on his hips, his deep and handsome face faintly revealing a dark aura.

"Have you seen enough?"

Shen Mingzhu wanted to say no, but she didn't dare.

"I didn't peek on purpose. They were standing right there. How could I pretend I was blind and not see them?"

Pei Yang gritted his teeth, "Even if it was an accident, couldn't you just avoid it? If I don't come over, do you plan to see me till the end of time?"

It's possible.

Pei Yang didn't know what she was thinking. Seeing that she didn't say anything, he thought she knew she was wrong, so he softened his tone and added a hint of sarcasm to his lecture.

"Can you please be a bit more virtuous? You're already married, and you stare at other men without blinking. Is that really good?"

"That's because I haven't seen it before, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances."

Pei Yang was amused by her sophistry. He touched her head with his big hand and said like he was coaxing a child, "Be obedient. I'll show you enough when we get back."

“…”

Is this what she means? ? ? Besides, she is not so hungry that every man would like to see her. She should at least have six, no, four pack abdominal muscles.

In just two seconds, countless restricted images flashed through Shen Mingzhu's mind, but she didn't have the courage to ask Pei Yang if he had abdominal muscles and how many they were.

Pei Yang saw that her cheeks were rosy like a peach and thought she was shy. He felt itchy in his heart as if he was being scratched by a cat's paw.

"Go back to the dormitory first."

Shen Mingzhu stood still, her watery almond eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and her voice was soft as if she was acting coquettishly, "I haven't washed up yet."

He took the basin from her hand and said, "Go back to the dormitory and wait. I'll bring you some water."

"But I still want to go to the bathroom."

"Hold it!"

“…”

After Shen Mingzhu walked away, Pei Yang turned around and pushed open the bathroom door, only to find a group of young men hiding behind the door and eavesdropping.

Being caught by him, the group of people did not feel guilty and started laughing and joking around.

"Nonsense, why should my wife be shown to you? If you want to see her, go home and see your own wife!

Pei Yang laughed and cursed a few words, then took the basin to the water table to get some water.

"Brother Yang, why are you using a pink wash basin?"

"You know nothing. This is my sister-in-law's wash basin. Brother Yang is getting water for her to wash her face. Isn't that right, Brother Yang?"

Seeing that Pei Yang did not deny it, the group of young men immediately laughed and made a noise.

"Brother Yang, I didn't realize you love your sister-in-law so much."

Nonsense, he finally married such a lovely wife, why don’t he pamper her well?

After fetching water, Pei Yang urged a group of young men who were washing up to finish washing quickly and put on their clothes, and then he returned to the dormitory carrying a full basin of water.

After entering the dormitory, Pei Yang brought the water to the wooden rack on the balcony for Shen Mingzhu to use for washing.

After Shen Mingzhu washed her face, Pei Yang's gaze lingered on her egg-white face for two seconds before he spoke.

"Mingzhu, have you seen my seaman's card?"

Shen Mingzhu shook her head.

Pei Yang rubbed his forehead in surprise, "I clearly put it in my luggage bag, but I can't find it."

When Shen Mingzhu heard him say that his seaman's certificate was lost, she immediately started searching everywhere in the dormitory.

Pei Ziheng, who was sitting on a wooden chair playing with a yo-yo, heard this and jumped off the chair to help look for it.

I searched and searched, turning the dormitory upside down, but couldn't find it. "I guess it's really lost."

"Can I get a replacement?"

"It's too late. We have to go back to Fengcheng. Even if we can make it back, the Maritime Administration has been closed for holiday." Pei Yang showed a rare look of distress on his face.

"What should we do then?"

Facing Shen Mingzhu's soft almond eyes full of concern, Pei Yang smiled at her soothingly, "Don't worry, I'm going to the company for a meeting first, and then I'll discuss countermeasures with Master. If you're bored, you can go out with Ziheng. Wait for me at the port at 10:30, and I'll take you to eat some special local dishes."

Shen Mingzhu nodded.

After Pei Yang left, Shen Mingzhu asked Pei Ziheng to go to the bathroom to wash up, and she searched the dormitory carefully again.

Of course it is impossible to find.

Pei Yang acted as if nothing had happened in front of Shen Mingzhu, but as soon as he walked out of the staff dormitory, his expression became serious.

Within an ocean-going company, losing a seaman's certificate is a very serious dereliction of duty, which can result in demotion or salary reduction at the very least, or transfer or dismissal at the worst.

A seaman's certificate is equivalent to their passport. Holders of a seaman's certificate can freely enter and exit ports at home and abroad. Once it is used by people with ulterior motives, the consequences will be disastrous.

Upon learning that Pei Yang had lost his seaman's certificate, Lin Guofu, who had always been caring towards him, gave him a severe reprimand.

"You are an experienced sailor, how could you make such a stupid mistake? This was originally a great opportunity for you to be promoted to first mate, and I fought hard to get it for you. But in the end, you lost your seaman's certificate. Not to mention being promoted to first mate, it's even a question whether you can keep your position as second mate!"

Pei Yang sincerely accepted the teaching and actively admitted his mistakes, "Master, it's all my fault for being careless. Please calm down. It's not worth it to ruin your health because of me."

"How can I not be angry? Do you know how much effort I put into your promotion to first mate?"

After Lin Guofu finished scolding him, he looked at him for a while and suddenly asked, "Pei Yang, I wonder if you did this on purpose? Are you so obsessed with your new wife that you can't even walk?"

Pei Yang was stunned for a while before he reacted. Lin Guofu suspected that he had deliberately hidden his seaman's certificate as an excuse not to participate in the mission to Manila two days later.

The father must pay for the son's debt. It is not unfair for Pei Yang to bear this blame.
