Chapter Thirteen The Uninvited Guest(1/2)
Jialong covered his head with a quilt, curled up on the bed, rolling left and right from time to time.
Jialong went to bed until around three in the morning at night, but now he was full of fatigue.
A ding-beep sound! The phone on the bedside table rang a prompt sound.
Jialong closed his eyes and touched the location of his phone in a daze.
He half opened his eyes and clicked on the WeChat message he had just received.
It was still sent by Xiao Liu, without too much words, only the simple word "Long Ge".
Jialong's thoughts gradually became clearer, and he slowly sat up and fell into deep thought.
After so many days, I should be called a missing person, right? But only Xiao Liu is the one who sent a text message to care about me.
There is a reason why parents didn’t ask about their situation, after all, it was the effect of concentrating spray.
Apart from this, no one else had any questions about him. When he thought of this, Jialong felt very pitiful. He couldn't help but ask, is this situation because of his bad character or because human kindness is so cold?
For a moment, he gradually eliminated his previous disgust for Xiao Liu and turned to feel that he was so narrow-minded. After all, a young man who had just graduated and entered the workplace cares a lot about his first job. He has no obligation to fight for him, and there is no need to sacrifice anything for him.
Jialong recalled the meeting where she resigned and looked timid in the corner. Her ponytail fell listlessly on her shoulders, and her round eyes revealed uneasiness. Her not-so-beautiful but well-behaved face looked a little dazed.
Jialong felt a sense of pity in his heart. He waved his finger and replied to Xiao Liu's WeChat message, "Xiao Liu, I am currently traveling and planning to go to the southern hemisphere to see it. I will send you pictures and share happiness! I wish you a happy life!"
Jialong felt that he was speaking very official, but he couldn't think of a better word. He did not intend to tell Xiao Liu everything around him, because he knew that his experience was a secret that could never be mentioned.
The network of the mobile phone is very poor. This WeChat message was sent for a long time after turning. Maybe the signal was bad because I was in the distant sea.
Jialong sat dullly on the bed.
Five minutes later, Xiao Liu did not reply. Jialong felt that it might be because Xiao Liu was busy with work or because the Internet was poor.
He just put his phone on the bedside table when the door was opened.
A round wool curly head reached in from outside the half-open door.
"It's time to eat, Aaron!"
"Okay, uncle!"
Jialong rubbed his eyes and replied.
Jialong looked around the room. Zhao Ning was not in the room. The bedding on his bed was neatly stacked on the head of the bed.
The wall clock on the wardrobe showed that it was just 7 o'clock. Jialong thought to himself, Zhao Ning got up so early.
Jialong followed the laughter from the outdoor deck, walked through the hall, pushed the door open and walked out.
The warm and humid sea breeze blew towards him, which relieved Jialong's faint headache. The fat clothes on his body were fanning naughtyly in the wind. The seabirds circled in the cloudless sky, singing moving notes.
The yacht breaks through the waves on the dreamy blue ocean, stirring up waves of white waves.
Jialong saw that there was a round table in the center of the deck and four high-legged round chairs were surrounded by them.
Lulu and the uncle were holding various ingredients on the round table, which looked very happy and joyful.
"Come on, Aaron, have a meal!"
When Lulu saw Jialong, she greeted him enthusiastically and pointed to the food on the dining table.
"This is the sea fish I salvaged last night. It's not so fresh in the city!"
The uncle said as he unbuttoned the pink apron on his round belly.
Jialong smiled and nodded, hurried to the dining table.
"Xiao Ning! Xiao Ning! Come and have a meal!"
The uncle shouted while sitting on the round chair.
Jialong followed the uncle's gaze to the stern, and Zhao Ning sat cross-legged.
The hull slowly undulates along the waves, but Zhao Ning doesn't move at all.
Hearing the uncle's shout, Zhao Ning let out a long sigh and slowly stood up. He stretched out his limbs and made a crisp sound of bones, which sounded so relaxed.
Jialong became more and more interested in Zhao Ning's ability, but he didn't plan to ask in person. After all, it will be announced sooner or later, but uncle's... Jialong planned to ask.
"Uncle, what is your superpower?"
Jialong asked while sitting at the dining table, leaning on his chin.
"Haha, I'm such a bad old man, no more superpowers!"
"Ah? Will superpowers degenerate?"
Lulu took over the conversation while placing the dishes:
"I'm afraid the uncle's ability looks stupid, so he is embarrassed to use it, haha!"
Lulu stretched out her index finger and pressed her chin, pretending to be meditative and said:
"Maybe, you can turn into a toad or a turtle or something!"
"Go! Stinky girl!"
The uncle interrupted with his arms held.
"Then why don't you use mana?"
Lulu asked immediately, and Zhao Ning walked over and sat on the round chair beside Lulu.
"Where did you come from so many words? Even so many delicious food can't block your mouth!"
The uncle said a little impatiently, and then said:
"Eat quickly and see how I'm doing."
Jialong shook his head in confusion, but he didn't ask more questions as to the uncle.
There are various seafood on the table, and the cooking methods are different, with tempting fragrance.
Jialong picked up a fried fish with chopsticks. When the chopsticks touched the crispy skin of the fish, the sizzling sound seemed to awaken Jialong's taste buds in an instant. He swallowed his saliva quickly and stuffed the white fish into his mouth.
"Young man, after dinner, you can start your own training, I will provide guidance."
The uncle's mouth was filled with food and said vaguely, and his round glasses were about to slide off his nose.
After hearing this, Jialong was a little excited and nodded quickly.
There are two reasons why Jialong is anxious to practice mana. On the one hand, it is because he hopes to become strong and has the ability to resist various threats. If he can return to normal life and return to his parents, it will be the best result; on the other hand, he feels that he is a burden to everyone at present, and this feeling makes him feel uncomfortable. He hopes to master mana as soon as possible and integrate into everyone.
"Uncle, will this ship travel automatically? All four of us are here, but the ship is moving forward rapidly."
Jialong asked.
"Yeah, indeed, this ship has an intelligent driving system, which saves a lot of trouble in the mild weather."
On the dining table, everyone started talking and talking, while Zhao Ning didn't speak much, and observed every speaker silently.
Jialong felt that he had eaten too much, so he lay on the deck on his back, not wanting to move, the breeze blew by, and even felt sleepy.
A group of white seabirds fell on the deck, constantly ate the food residues that fell on the deck.
Jialong had never seen this kind of bird with his own eyes. Maybe he had seen it in some documentaries. Lulu jumped mischievously to the middle of the group of birds and squatted to observe them.
The birds were not afraid of people, and were all eating with concentration.
Lulu is very harmonious with the small animals, perhaps because Lulu is as pure as these seabirds.
Jialong looked at Lulu and enjoyed the Ninghe area.
Just as he could see the truth, the seabirds seemed to be frightened, and they flew away in panic and kept making rapid calls.
Lulu was also startled and hurriedly stood up and looked at the surrounding environment.
Seeing this, Zhao Ning walked to the stern of the boat and said softly:
"I still haven't gotten rid of it!"
The uncle frowned and said with a roll of toilet paper:
"Is it them?"
Zhao Ning turned around and replied seriously:
"Yes, but there is only one person."
"They are too confident, and they dare to make trouble alone!"
Lulu said with her hands, pinning the ends of her floating hair behind her ears.
After hearing everyone's words, Jialong's heart suddenly tightened. He ran to the stern nervously, and looked at the edge of the boat with both hands.
I saw a small black sailboat about 2 meters long chased the yacht at an extremely fast speed, and the distance was getting closer and closer.
The sailing boat is also black and bulged by the strong wind. The mast of the sailing boat seems to be broken at any time, and is twisted greatly.
The sea breeze is very gentle at the moment, and Jialong is surprised that where did this sailboat get such strong wind power?
The speed of the sailing boat was intimidating. Jialong looked closely and saw a man standing straight on the boat.
The man was short, wearing the orange work clothes of a gas station employee, with a black baseball cap on his head, only half of his face exposed, and a thick white bandage wrapped around his hands.
