Missing your smile

Chapter 224 Sailing Life

"You two new guys, hurry up! The ship is about to set sail."

A man in a white first mate uniform, smoking a cigar, said with a look of disdain.

If it weren't for the large sums of money these two had given him, he wouldn't have given up his chance to sail out at sea.

"Alright, First Mate. You go inside and rest. We'll handle things out here."

Qin Hui smiled obsequiously.

As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling person. The first mate glanced at Qin Hui speechlessly before returning to his cabin to rest. However, as he turned to leave, a lotus flower was tucked into his arm.

"Brother Hui, you're still the smart one. This voyage will likely last a month. We'll have plenty of time to cultivate, and the Qin family won't be able to find us at sea," Li Dazhuang said enviously while operating the ship's machinery.

"It's not like we have a choice, but the wealthy really know how to have fun. I took a glance just now, and this yacht is full of rich and powerful people, including many upstarts."

Qin Hui was a bit envious. If he were married, he'd also have a large yacht to hold his wedding in the Atlantic. The thought alone was incredibly romantic.

"You two are always daydreaming. This is the wedding trip for Young Master Qian and his girlfriend. I heard that after reaching their destination, they will pledge their lives to each other on this yacht."

"But speaking of which, Young Master Qian's girlfriend is also from a wealthy family. Nowadays, the rich end up together, while the poor can only witness it."

The squad leader walked over, sighing with emotion. He had once had the fortune to see Young Master Qian's girlfriend. Tsk, her skin was like milk, so white!

"Hehehe."

The three men let out lewd laughter simultaneously.

Actually, Qin Hui quite enjoyed this kind of life at sea. Not only could he admire the beautiful seascape, but he could also experience the cultural differences of each place.

A journey was like a book of life, recording many little details.

For several days, Qin Hui and Li Dazhuang lived the life of sailors. Although this life was mundane, it was very fulfilling.

Even when they occasionally got bored, they could admire the rich and upstarts on the deck, naturally by admiring their wives, mistresses, and daughters.

After all, men had no interest in other men.

Because both Qin Hui and Li Dazhuang were martial artists, even not sleeping for days had little effect on them. Every night when it was quiet, they would cultivate in their rooms to improve their strength.

This tomb-raiding expedition had provided Qin Hui with a lot of cultivation resources, so for the time being, Qin Hui didn't need to worry about cultivation.

In comparison, Li Dazhuang's progress was quite significant. From being a fourth-level martial artist at the beginning, he was showing signs of breaking through to the fifth level.

The next morning, the squad leader called Qin Hui and Li Dazhuang to go fishing with him.

One had to know that at sea, fishing was a man's only source of pleasure and interest.

The squad leader was not a man of many words. He would occasionally stare blankly at a beautiful woman. Men were satisfied with such simple pleasures.

Whoosh.

As they were chatting, the squad leader reeled in a hairtail. Several other hairtails were tightly attached behind it, commonly known as a chain catch.

"Tsk, tsk, it looks like we have our delicious lunch sorted out."

The squad leader said proudly.

Seeing others catch fish, Qin Hui was unwilling to admit defeat.

The only pity was that Qin Hui's luck was terrible. He hadn't caught a single fish all morning.

On the other hand, Li Dazhuang had decent luck, catching two salmon.

"Squad leader, where is the final destination of our voyage?"

Li Dazhuang asked curiously.

"I heard it's on the West Coast. Young Master Qian will be getting married to his girlfriend there. After they get married, this yacht will return the same way."

The squad leader said with some envy.

"No wonder his surname is Qian, so rich."

Qin Hui said enviously from the side.

"You two, stop thinking about such useless things. After earning some money on this voyage, just stay on land. You must know that the sea has both a gentle and a ferocious side."

Qin Hui and Li Dazhuang nodded repeatedly. After all, they were here to experience life and escape the Qin family.

A month was enough time for them to grow.

"Alright, it's almost time for dinner. Come with me to cook the fish."

The squad leader reeled in his fishing rod and led them towards the kitchen. The fish they caught needed to be eaten fresh.

Qin Hui, feeling dejected, put away his fishing rod. It was natural for him to be upset at not catching a single fish all morning.

As Qin Hui was putting away his fishing rod, he spotted a graceful figure on the second-floor deck.

This yacht was divided into three levels. The first level was undoubtedly where the sailors and staff stayed, as they were responsible for operating the yacht.

As for the second level, it was the gathering place for the wealthy. The second level was very spacious, containing all the entertainment facilities and sleeping quarters.

The third level was where Young Master Qian's family and the bride's family resided. Although it was only one-third the size of the second level, it was advantageous that there were fewer people.

Most importantly, the third level had an outdoor swimming pool. Imagine soaking in an open-air pool in the boundless ocean; the feeling was utterly luxurious.

Perhaps due to some connection, the figure on the second-floor deck glanced down and spotted Qin Hui.

After all, at this moment, Qin Hui was the only one left here to put away his fishing rod.

Soon, Qin Hui saw that delicate face. Although she wore light makeup, she still looked very pleasing to the eye. Judging by her attire and demeanor, she was likely a noblewoman of significant status.

One had to know that mature women were often the most captivating. Qin Hui felt no awkwardness and offered a gentle smile to the middle-aged noblewoman.

Since neither knew the other, Qin Hui had nothing to fear. With her high status, she wouldn't possibly trouble a mere sailor like himself, would she?

Upon making eye contact with Qin Hui, the middle-aged noblewoman smiled slightly and then walked away.

"How boring."

Qin Hui muttered in frustration. Even if he couldn't eat it, it would have been nice to look at her a bit longer.

"Hey, kid, still daring to look around? Do you think those rich people are for you to stare at? Don't you know your own status? Be careful not to anger them."

The first mate walked out at this moment and cursed.

As for why he appeared at this time, it was self-evident. From the first mate's perspective, he could see the graceful back of the beautiful woman just now. Qin Hui could even see the saliva flowing from the corner of the first mate's mouth, although he had wiped it, it was clearly not completely clean.

"Cough, cough, I understand."

Qin Hui had no choice but to flatter him.

"Hmph, a mere toad."

The beautiful woman's figure was no longer visible. The first mate cursed Qin Hui and then turned to go into the kitchen for his meal.

The first mate's life was incredibly pleasant and easy. Every day, besides berating his subordinates, he would sneak glances at the noblewomen and beauties. Life would be rather dull without finding some enjoyment, wouldn't it?
