"The wind was colder than the valley wind at the Bracken Yard. Nadia sighed.

"Of course. "The ship was already heading north at an economic speed of nearly 30 kilometres, and with the changing winds, it can sometimes be equivalent to a force 8 gale off the coast of the UK." ”

Nadia and the others were soaking in the hot water and blowing the cold breeze in the jacuzzi on the rear deck of the yacht, enjoying the champagne and sturgeon caviar that Katie brought from London with Nadia sneaking on the yacht.

This would have been normal.

But in the winter Atlantic, there is only the cold and never-ending stormy waves, and even the water in the bathtub is constantly shaking with the hull of the ship - this scene is a bit abnormal.

Nadia and Katie thought they were here to talk about industry and capital expansion, but Lin Yilong gave them another surprise in the morning, except for Vera, who was in the know, the others had not recovered from the shock.

Lin Yilong's blow made these girls lose their previous aura, and from ten o'clock when they learned about the "surprise", they soaked in the bathtub with the refreshing sea breeze blowing according to Lin Yilong's recommendation.

"This doesn't seem to be the 'winter open-air bath' as Brother Yilong said. Amy commented that she was introduced to Sister Yeon for the first time by Lin Yilong last night, and they had a good chat - especially with Vera, who was almost in the same ballet industry.

"I also think it's a little weird. Katie replied.

"Lunchtime!" Lin Yilong appeared in front of Nadia with four bathrobes and bath towels.

"Hopefully not the English breakfast. Nadia said.

"......" responded to Nadia for Lin Yilong's long silence.

"Am I right?"

"Nope. Lin Yilong replied, "Because of the cold weather, I prepared two bacon cheese burgers for everyone." ”

Aside from rice, Lin Yilong's taste is already very Westernized – not that he is a foreigner – and his income and busy work during his student and practice aid years mean that he has no time to cook or go to restaurants, and the only inexpensive and easy-to-make food that can meet his daily necessities is local food.

Even if you have money to eat in a restaurant in London, the dining habits you can develop will always be like this. Later, the sisters Katie and Yeang, who took over Lin Yilong's daily recipes, did not like oriental dishes, and most of the food they made every day at home was Western. In addition, although Amy prefers to eat Oriental dishes, as a ballerina, she eats a healthy diet almost every day, and most of the time, the nutritionist of the company gives nutritious meal recipes that are Western.

Lin Yilong was almost in charge of his own cooking, in addition to his very bad cooking skills, the girls took over his housework was also an important reason, because of "eating people with short mouths", he didn't insist on the taste problem,

Although it is not so "respectful", it seems to be the norm in European families. Whether it is the Yeon sisters, Katie, and Amy, they are also included, and Lin Yilong, as a man, does not have to think about doing any cleaning and cooking housework - but correspondingly, they will never touch other housework such as changing the filter element of the water purifier or changing the light bulb, and the family division of labor is clear.

In addition, they will never be "bread winners" (meaning breadwinners), and even if they are in charge of managing the business, according to them, they are only "entertaining" or supplementing their own expenses. The gap between Lin Yilong's father and mother, who has been remembered since childhood, is not ordinarily large. [Author's note: Most of the classmates and colleagues I know, both men and women, know the family structure like this.] 】

Therefore, what Lin Yilong said before about "returning to the family" is a false proposition for all the girls here.

"In the future, I think we can retreat here and travel around the world in addition to Bracken Timber. Lin Yilong saw that the banquet was a little lifeless, as the owner of the yacht, he had to drive the atmosphere, "You can travel wherever you want." ”

This sentence added fuel to the fire, as if Lin Yilong deliberately mixed this sentence with the news that made the girls dizzy all morning, making them very uncomfortable - it meant that Lin Yilong didn't want them to invest more time in their careers.

According to Lin Yilong's plan mentioned in the morning, Katie and Yeang sisters' "business management" will only be until the daughters reach adulthood - if this time limit is exceeded, it will more or less arouse the suspicion of the outside world.

"Isn't sailing too monotonous?" Amy asked, having experienced two cruises with Lin Yilong, and knew that there was hardly any scenery to see when the sea boat was on the sea, "There is not even a good internet signal at sea." ”

Sea conditions and weather do not yet allow seafarers to receive internet programmes on the Internet at all times, let alone other communications.

Modern society is so dependent on the Internet.

"It is estimated that by that time, the Internet penetration of satellites will be very widespread. Lin Yilong replied, "Moreover, even if it is not popular, there is no need to contact others except for his own parents, but ......."

"But what?" Vera asked, seeing what Lin Yilong had to say.

"Haven't you noticed Vera, in fact, the smart phone you are using now is the 'Ultra-Small Satellite Communication Terminal (VSAT)'?"

"What is VSAT?"

Lin Yilong had no choice but to read the principles of maritime satellite communications from a book according to the information he had found on the Internet.

"What?" Amy had been bothered by the lack of cell phone signal, and picked up the phone that she had put aside, but there was still no signal.

"This is because of the adsorption of electromagnetic waves by the carbon fiber material. Lin Yilong replied, "If we want to have a signal in the cabin, we need to open the satellite dish on the main mast, Vera, you can hold your mobile phone later, go to an open place, and you will have it." ”

Vera accompanied Amy to the back of the deck with her phone for testing, and returned a moment later. After some verification, the smartphones of the two did have a phone signal and could watch live webcasts.

"I thought it was just a normal phone. Vera sighed.

"My general stuff is always of some practical value. Lin Yilong explained, "So, when you want to update your phone, please be sure to inform me, so that I can take the phone to modify." ”

"A word is a certainty!" Lin Yilong said.

As he spoke, most of the lunch had passed, and the food on the plate had bottomed out, Lin Yilong took out the cheesecake from the refrigerator again, brewed five cups of coffee with a filter coffee machine, and put them on the table as desserts for this meal.

"Yilong, your dessert choice is too monotonous. Nadia criticized, "Except that the cheesecake is a cheesecake, can you change it to the other, for example...... Swiss rolls or puffs or something?"

Lin Yilong did not answer, but looked at Nadia with a look full of meaning.

Realizing that she had lost her words again, Nadia looked at the cheesecake with some embarrassment, and then ate it bit by bit as if in a tantrum.

"Stupid. ”
