Chapter 32 Wishes
The next morning, although the departure time was set early, at least no one stayed in bed, and no one was too lazy to get up and stand up the group.
Everyone was present, and two motorcycles headed towards the pier to go sea fishing, facing the morning sun.
Su Xiaojing sang loudly along the way, and the quiet Yan Yi could hardly bear it and covered Bai He's ears with his hands.
Bai He covered Qi Lang's ears.
"Hey, hey, you three, don't go too far!" Su Xiaojing yelled dissatisfiedly.
My cousin said helplessly, "Don't worry about them for now. Think about your relatives' lives. If you keep singing, you might get into a traffic accident."
“…”
Soon, several people boarded the brand new Princess yacht.
The yacht that Yan Yi booked was just put into operation in July this year. The equipment on board was very clean and few tourists had used it.
Before departure, the five people signed a safety responsibility notice, which roughly means that any accidents that occur after going out to sea have nothing to do with the store and the responsibility is borne by the tourists themselves. If you agree, you can sign and go out to sea for fun. If you don’t agree, you won’t do this business.
In order to be able to go out to sea, everyone had no choice but to sign.
After the captain left, Su Xiaojing muttered, "How overbearing! He forced us to sign this responsibility letter and completely shirked his responsibility."
"It seems like it's the same here," Bai He said helplessly. "You can't go out to sea without a signature."
"What if something really happens? We won't even be able to find the person responsible."
Yan Yi said calmly, "Don't worry. If an accident really happens, even if you sign a safety responsibility agreement, the seller will still be responsible. There's no way they can get away with it."
Qi Lang seemed to find their discussion ridiculous: "My life is gone, and I'm still worried about whether anyone will be held accountable. No matter how much compensation I pay or how many years I'm sentenced to, it won't buy my life back, okay?"
Bai He said: "Even so, I still hope to get more compensation. I hope my parents can live a better life with this money."
"If you leave, no matter how much money they get, it won't get better," said Qi Lang.
"My mother is only in her early 40s. She should still be able to have a second child. It's always a good idea to pay a little more."
Yan Yi thought for a moment and said, "Our combined compensation should be quite a bit."
Bai He thought more long-term than him: "But if something really happens to us, will your uncle ask my parents for money?"
Yan Yi frowned: "There is a risk."
Bai He: "Look! If you refuse to enter our family's household registration and let my parents adopt you, there will be such a risk."
Translation: "It seems to make sense."
"How about...when we return from winter vacation, we go to the police station to transfer our household registration?" Bai He certainly hoped that Yan Yi could become his legal brother.
Yan Yi suddenly said, "I'll be an adult in less than a month. There's not much point in going through the adoption process."
"That…?"
"If we get married, we can be officially registered under the same household registration, and your parents can get double the compensation."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire ship fell silent.
Su Xiaojing and her cousin, who were sitting in the front row, looked at each other in amazement.
Damn, it was a straight shot.
Qi Lang in the back row rolled his eyes to the sky, cursing in his heart: "Psychopath, pervert."
Everyone took it seriously, except for the person involved, Bai He, who smacked Yan Yi on the head with a slap: "What are you thinking about all day long, little brat? You're so full of yourself that you have no time to joke about your sister like this!"
Translation: ...
Okay.
Su Xiaojing quickly interrupted: "So, so early in the morning, can you guys talk about something good instead of talking about topics like shipwreck compensation? Don't you know that the more you talk about something, the more likely it is to happen!"
Bai He frowned: "Didn't you start it first?"
Su Xiaojing: "Pfft, pfft, pfft, God, please don't blame me, children should not be held responsible for what they say, children should not be held responsible for what they say."
Bai He also quickly pulled Yan Yi to spit a few times.
After about two hours of sailing, the speedboat arrived at a coral reef area. The dark-skinned captain distributed fishing rods to several people and started sea fishing.
Sea fishing does not require any fishing skills. Just extend the rod, put the hook with shrimp bait and lower it down. When you feel the vibration, it means a fish has taken the bait. Just pull it up.
The first fish was caught by Yan Yi, a grouper the size of a palm—
"Wow! That's amazing!"
“Take a photo, take a photo!”
Bai He and Su Xiaojing took turns pulling the line to take a photo with the grouper.
Qi Lang looked back at them and murmured, "It's just a broken fish."
He was a little unhappy, but he had been waiting for a long time and no fish had taken the bait.
He reeled in the rod and looked, and the shrimp bait was still there. It must have been just a matter of luck. Qi Lang let out the line again and waited patiently.
After a while, the cousin and Su Xiaojing caught colorful sea fish one after another, and even Bai He, who had never fished before, caught one.
But there was no movement from Qi Lang's side.
He threw down the rod, feeling bored, and stood up to pick up a can of Coke on the table. He opened it with one hand, tilted his head back to drink it, and prepared to go back to the cabin to enjoy the air conditioning.
Bai He turned around and asked, "Aren't you going to fish anymore?"
Qi Lang pulled at his collar: "It's so hot that I feel uncomfortable."
Yan Yi said coldly: "Incompetent and angry."
As luck would have it, Qi Lang happened to hear this: "What did you say?"
"You heard it, do you need to repeat it?"
Qi Lang was furious and picked up the fishing rod again.
From childhood to adulthood, nothing has ever made him admit defeat. No matter it is scores or competitions, he cannot be inferior to others. How could he be willing to lose to Yan Yi?
This time Qi Lang changed direction and started fishing again. Maybe he was in the wrong position just now. After casting the rod, he caught a colorful sea fish in a short while. It seemed to be shining golden in the sunlight.
Bai He exclaimed "Wow" exaggeratedly: "This fish is so big and beautiful. Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing, come and take a picture for me!"
"Great." Su Xiaojing took out his cell phone and took pictures of Bai He and the fish from all angles.
Qi Lang looked pleased and tilted his head to glance at Yan Yi.
Yan Yi remained calm and put the rod in to put the shrimp bait in.
After fishing for a while, Bai He felt bored and went back to the cabin to rest and eat snacks. The eldest cousin quietly asked Su Xiaojing, "Have you noticed that Bai He seems to be particularly supportive of Qi Lang? When he catches a fish, she is so excited that she is like she has never seen a fish in her life. The traces of performance... cough... are a little obvious."
Su Xiaojing said, "Even you noticed it, how could I not know? This scene has been playing out every day for more than ten years."
Qi Lang seemed to have encountered a school of fish, and soon the number of sea fish in his bucket exceeded Yan Yi's.
"Xiao Yanyi, how about we have a fishing competition to see who catches the most fish?"
Translation: "Boring."
Although he said so, Yan Yi seemed to take it seriously, looking at the surging sea surface and feeling every slight vibration of the fishing rod.
For the next half hour, he and Qi Lang competed with each other under the current, each catching one fish at a time.
My cousin is a fishing expert. He was far ahead at the beginning, but he didn't expect that these two people would really compete with each other, and the number of fish in the bucket gradually exceeded his.
"Oh my god, you two are amazing! I've been a fishing expert for years, and I can't catch up with you."
They not only compete in quantity, but also in size. Yan Yi would simply not accept any small fish and throw them back into the sea to wait for the big fish. Qi Lang would follow suit and catch the big ones and let the small ones go.
The two of them caught more and more fish. While Yan Yi was changing the bait, he subconsciously looked back at Bai He. He saw that Bai He had already changed into a swimsuit and was preparing to go swimming and snorkeling in the sea with the help of the crew.
He looked at Qi Lang, who was concentrating on fishing, and after a few seconds of hesitation, he put down his fishing rod, went to the locker room inside the cabin to change into swimming trunks, walked to the stern, and took Bai He, who was cautiously stepping into the sea, from the crew: "I'll help you."
"You're not fishing anymore?"
"It's a bit boring." Yan Yi helped Bai He into the water. Bai He couldn't swim and could only use a swimming ring. However, Yan Yi was a brave warrior. His father had taught him swimming skills since he was very young.
Even with the help of a life jacket, Bai He still felt insecure because he couldn't find the bottom. He grabbed Yan Yi's neck and said, "Don't let me go!"
"Won't."
Yan Yi put on snorkeling goggles and a respirator for her and asked, "Let's try burying ourselves in the water."
"I'm a little afraid."
"I'll hold you, no problem."
"Just...you must not let go!" Bai He put on his glasses and repeatedly warned, "and you are not allowed to scare me."
"rest assured."
Yan Yi knows his limits. At this time, he would never joke with Bai He.
The little girl slowly lowered her face into the water, then opened her eyes to see the vast coral reefs and colorful schools of tropical fish on the seabed...
She stuck her head out and said to Yan Yi, "It's so beautiful! Ah Yi, look at it too!"
Then she took off her glasses and gave them to him, "Look down there! There are so many fish."
Yan Yi shook his head and put it back on her: "I'm not interested in these. Look, I'll hold your hand."
"You, come out and travel properly. You feel bored with this, and you're not interested in that. I don't even know what you like." After saying that, Bai He put on glasses and a respirator and floated back into the water.
Yan Yi held her hand tightly and looked at her gently.
"How can I let you know what I like?" he murmured.
But the sea water could not transmit the sound waves and love he expressed in the air, so she would not know.
Qi Lang caught a full bucket of fish and looked back at Yan Yi proudly, but found that the spot was already empty.
He took out a cigarette, strolled to the stern, and was about to light it when a gust of wind blew, creating waves and causing the boat to shake.
In the sea, Bai He hurriedly hugged Yan Yi's neck, barely recovering from the shock.
Yan Yi put his arm around her waist and gently lifted her up, so that her head was higher than his, giving her a sense of security in the sea.
Qi Lang stood on the deck, looking at the two people hugging each other tightly in the water.
The tobacco in his hand was crushed into pieces by him.
…
At noon, the captain stewed a pot of fresh fish soup for them with the sea fish he had just caught. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Bai He noticed that Qi Lang seemed to have not eaten anything.
Su Xiaojing turned on the captain's audio equipment and sang happily. Qi Lang did not join in. He leaned lazily on the sofa and took a nap, looking listless.
Bai He guessed that he might not be used to the food on the ship, so he secretly gave him some chocolate candies and muffins.
After stuffing himself with snacks, Qi Lang's sluggish mood improved a little. In the afternoon, he sat on the sofa with her and played checkers quietly for a while.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the speedboat returned with a full harvest. Unexpectedly, the sun was shining brightly when we came and the sea was calm all day, but we encountered a rain cloud on the way back.
The sea was stormy and the waves were surging. Looking out through the window of the speedboat, the sea level seemed to have turned into layers of gray hills, hitting the speedboat wave after wave.
The speedboat was like a small boat, being tossed around by the huge waves.
The captain told everyone through the radio to fasten their seat belts, stay in the cabin and never go out.
Looking out the window at the endless grey sea, they knew the captain was experienced and would be alright. However, facing such a mighty force of nature, they felt as insignificant as grains of sand in the vast desert. They could do nothing but worry and pray.
Su Xiaojing in the front row was so scared that she crawled into her cousin's arms and said sadly, "Look, look, when you came here, you all talked nonsense, but now you are fine."
"You were the one who started it," my cousin pointed out mercilessly. "You kept complaining about the safety responsibility letter."
"Hey, are you my relative?"
"I am helping the right, not my relatives."
"It's just that Sayuri scooped you a bowl of fish soup, and your heart flew away with her."
"I..." The cousin blushed instantly, "Don't talk nonsense."
Qi Lang in the front row and Yan Yi beside her looked at her at the same time, and then they looked at each other again, as if confirming their expressions.
Yes, neither of them got to drink the fish soup.
Su Xiaojing picked up the intercom and called the captain: "Captain, what's going on? Is there any danger? Do you need sea rescue?"
"fine."
The captain's honest voice came from the intercom, "No big deal, we see you all the time, we will definitely bring you back safely."
Although the captain said so, the strong wind and huge waves hit the speedboat, and they were in the sea where there was no village in front and no shop behind, so everyone was inevitably nervous.
Although Bai He was not as anxious as Su Xiaojing, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his palms.
Yan Yi covered her hand and whispered in her ear, "It's okay."
"What if?" she asked nervously, "I just got into college, I don't want to die..."
There was a slight tremor in his voice as he cried.
Yan Yi said, "I will support you. Have you forgotten? I used to swim 1500 meters in just 15 minutes and 30 seconds. I even beat the physical education teacher at school. He was a national second-level athlete."
"But...but this is in the ocean."
"I will hold you until help arrives." Yan Yi's firm tone gave Bai He a reassurance.
Qi Lang listened to their hypocritical words, turned around, looked at their tightly held hands, and said unhappily, "That's enough, you two. This kind of bumpy ride is part of the normal wind and waves. Why are you acting out a life-and-death separation here? Is that necessary?"
Bai He moved closer to Yan Yi, giving up the outer seat, and said to Qi Lang, "Why don't you come sit over here? If something really happens, at least the three of us can be together."
Qi Lang refused coldly: "No need, I can swim."
"Then I'm the only one who can't swim. Xiaojing, you guys can swim, right?"
"My brother will. He will catch me." Su Xiaojing glanced at his eldest cousin. "Will he save me?"
"Uh uh..."
"Hmm?? May I ask what you are hesitating about, relative?"
Pang Yi said: "The main reason is that I'm afraid you'll panic and struggle, step on my face and kick me off."
"Then you won't save me?"
"Save him, but we still need to save him a little bit."
"Humph! Plastic relatives."
The two of them bickered from time to time, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed. After a while, Qi Lang silently stood up and sat next to Bai He.
Bai He knew that he was feeling awkward, so she didn't get angry with him, to avoid upsetting him.
Seeing Yan Yi holding her left hand, Qi Lang simply took her right wrist and held it tightly.
Bai He looked at him in surprise, and he lazily explained, "Considering how panicked you were in the water just now, he was worried he wouldn't be able to hold you."
"He can't hold you back, and I..."
Qi Lang said the latter sentence in his heart.
Yan Yi didn't give him any face at all: "If I can't stop you, you can only wait for death."
"Young man, arrogance is not a virtue, it is a vice."
"When we get to the beach, do you want to have a swim?"
"Come on."
Bai He: …
She shook off their hands.
If the boat really capsized, the two male parrots would peck each other in the sea, and she would die even faster.
…
Fortunately, the speedboat passed the rain cloud area that day, the tide finally weakened, the golden sunset shone on the sea, and everything returned to calm.
Several people left the boat and went ashore. Su Xiaojing covered his chest in shock, while his cousin worshipped all the Huangxian'er and Changxian'er he could think of one by one, muttering that thanks to the gods, nothing happened.
They changed to a new B&B today, and it happened to have a suite with four rooms. Bai He decisively booked this suite to save Qi Lang from having to look for another hotel late at night when he couldn't sleep.
The four rooms finally made the space much more spacious. Bai He and Su Xiaojing still slept in the same room, so the three boys could each have a room without disturbing each other, which was just right.
Su Xiaojing lay down on the bed, refusing to go out again. "I was scared today... I'm exhausted. I need to relax. You guys go eat. I'll order takeout from the hotel."
"You really aren't going?"
"Well, I don't want to move anymore. I need to get some sleep."
Bai He didn't force it and went out to say that Su Xiaojing was not going. Upon hearing this, her eldest cousin said, "Then I might as well not go either. I'll order takeout with her. If she doesn't feel well, I can still take care of her."
Bai He joked, "It seems they are not plastic relatives."
The eldest cousin scratched his head embarrassedly: "I am her brother after all. My second aunt asked me to take good care of her."
So in the end, Yan Yi, Qi Lang and Bai He, the three old friends, went to the street to find food.
Almost all the work of finding cost-effective boutique restaurants was done by Yanyi, and even the itinerary of this trip was planned by Yanyi.
So far, it can be said to be impeccable.
Even a shrewd guy like Qi Lang never complained about the boring itinerary.
Even though he always wanted to argue with him intentionally or unintentionally, he still had a lot of fun this time.
Yan Yi took them to an open-air restaurant by the sea to eat Beili's special dishes. Each dish was very exquisite and the taste was very much to their liking.
While eating, Yan Yi suddenly mentioned: "Speaking of which, my birthday is coming soon."
Before Bai He could say anything, Qi Lang said calmly, "You took the initiative to mention your birthday. Are you afraid we'd forget, or do you have a gift you want us to prepare in advance?"
"Ayi didn't mean that," Bai He said, "right."
“Actually, yes.”
“…”
Qi Lang gave her a slapping look. Bai He, who was really short of money, avoided the topic and said, "Well... I remember Ayi's birthday is October 24th, which happens to be a Scorpio day."
"So he's vicious, holds grudges, is vindictive, and is petty," Qi Lang said mercilessly, "and he's also very good at pretending."
Bai He nudged him with her elbow: "Can you please say something nice?"
"But come to think of it, it's my birthday, and you didn't give me any gifts." Qi Lang was a little unhappy. "Except for a happy birthday in the group, I got nothing."
"Weren't you traveling abroad at that time? This text message traveled across the ocean, bringing you our sincere blessings. Isn't that enough to satisfy you?" Bai He said with a smile.
"I thought you would give me a gift after I came back."
"Uh... I have this idea..."
But my pocket is so tight!!!
Bai He saw a box of exquisite snacks on the table. These were the pre-dinner desserts that were given to every table. She quickly handed the snacks to Qi Lang and said, "Just a token of my appreciation! Please accept them!"
Qi Lang: “…”
"Thank you, that's very convenient of you."
"You're welcome. The gift is small but the thought is great."
Qi Lang looked at Yan Yi: "Where's your gift?"
"No gifts, just a piece of advice." Yan Yi fingered the small tea bowl and said lightly, "I hope you can overcome the arrogance and arrogance of Leo straight men and become a better person in the future. Come on."
Qi Lang: "What did I say? That stinky Scorpio's desire for revenge is so strong that he's going to curse me back in every possible way, right?"
Yan Yi looked at Bai He, who was eating and listening to their bickering with a smile: "Bai He, you don't need to prepare any gifts for me on my birthday."
"Ah, that's really thoughtful." Bai He's eyes lit up. "Compared to someone else, the difference is obvious!"
Qi Lang: "Please don't step on one and praise the other, okay?"
Yan Yi stopped joking and looked at her seriously: "I don't want any gifts, but I have three wishes that I need you to help me realize."
Bai He blinked: "Ah, you're not going to ask me to eat shit, are you?"
"I won't ask you to eat shit." He glanced at Qi Lang, "He might."
Qi Lang: "Are you happy to step on me anytime?"
Bai He felt relieved and agreed without hesitation: "That's no problem. I will grant you any wish!"
Yan Yi raised the corner of his mouth silently——
"It's a deal."
