317. I can't sleep
After one heart-warming piece of music after another, the music exchange meeting on the Morningstar finally came to a successful conclusion, and the young owner of Star Airlines Shipping Company came to the stage to give a speech of thanks and announce the official end of the exchange meeting.
Next, the guests left the venue one after another, and everyone got up gracefully in turn and left the concert hall in an orderly manner, without causing any crowding and chaos.
After the guests left the concert hall and entered the hallway, some friends who wanted to continue the communication only gathered in groups to find a corner to chat.
Chen Zhe and the girls also withdrew in order, and because of his outstanding performance just now, many first-class guests cast admiration and appreciation at him.
As soon as he walked out of the concert hall, he was greeted by a young man in the corridor, he was a young generation of rookie known as the "music magician" - Richard Parker, he looked at Chen Zhe with a flash of eagerness in his eyes.
"Hey, friend from the East, your performance just now is really amazing, did you write those two songs yourself?" asked Richard with a smile.
Seeing that the famous Richard actually took the initiative to greet Chen Zhe, and also discussed the topic of music with him very seriously, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were both envious and jealous.
"Thank you, these two songs...... Actually, it was created by my friend. Chen Zhe said bluntly.
"What, friend?" asked Richard, a little surprised, "so you're just singing these two songs?"
However, at this time, Liatila came over and said: "What friend, don't listen to his nonsense, that is just a deliberate and modest statement from him, these two songs are written by himself, and this is the first performance, we have not heard it before." ”
"That's right......," Richard suddenly realized, and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen Zhe, you are really a very humorous person. ”
was said by Liatilla, Chen Zhe had no choice but to admit that these two songs were his works, but he silently apologized to the original creators of the two songs in his heart, he did not mean to steal their limelight.
At this time, Richard asked enthusiastically: "Hey, Chen Zhe, are you interested in coming to my country to develop? Your oriental-style music will definitely be refreshing to the people of our country, and if you come to our country, it will definitely bring a sensation!"
Like Rena and the old gentleman Danny before, Richard actually came to hand Chen Zhe an olive branch, but Chen Zhe still did not accept Richard's kindness, and politely refused: "That's not it, Richard, thank you for your kindness, I don't want to leave my motherland for the time being." ”
"If that's the case, then I won't force it......" Richard shrugged regretfully, and then said, "I hope we have a chance to work together in the future." ”
"I hope so. Chen Zhe smiled and nodded, so that Richard could wave goodbye.
Seeing Richard go away, Big Joe and Little Joe began to have envious eyes shining again.
"Wow! Chen Zhe, I heard you right, the music magician Richard said he wants to cooperate with you!"
"I didn't expect you to make so many great friends in one concert......"
Chen Zhe behaved very calmly, and said with a smile: "It's just polite, half of the reason why Richard said this is because my performance just now really moved him, and the other half has the element of acting on the spot, so there's no need to take it too seriously......"
With that, he led the way towards the cabin lounge.
"Whew...... I'm a little tired after singing two songs, so let's go back to sleep, I'm going back to the island tomorrow, and I have to rest and recharge. ”
Hearing him say this, the other girls nodded their heads as well.
"What I said is that I will go back to the wilderness tomorrow to survive, and I have to hurry up and enjoy the environment of a five-star hotel. ”
"The bath was so comfortable, I would like to take another bath. ”
"Ah...... I can't bear to flush the toilet, and I want to take one back to the island. ”
"I don't know how many groups of players are left on the island right now, when will this match end......
“......”
......
returned to the room, it was already late at night, Chen Zhe and Yan'er locked the door, washed up briefly, and prepared to go to bed to rest.
Lying back on the comfortable and soft bed, Chen Zhe looked up at the ceiling, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Sure enough, the bedding in modern society is more comfortable, whether it is a wolfskin cushion or a wooden bed on the island, even if it is upgraded several times with the item upgrade system, it is not as good as the spring mattress made by modern technology.
Yan'er next to her seemed to have a relationship with Chen Zhe, and after lying on the bed, she also sighed: "This bed is so soft, so comfortable, I really can't bear to leave here......"
Chen Zhe smiled and encouraged: "Hold on a little longer, I estimate that there are not many players who have not quit the desert island to survive now, victory is just around the corner, and we will have a reward of 20 million at that time." ”
Hearing this, Yan'er really regained her motivation again.
"Yes, as long as we don't forget our original intention, we will definitely win the final victory!" said the little girl, clenching her fists.
The so-called "original intention" is, of course, the 20 million champion reward.
Chen Zhe laughed: "What a person who doesn't forget his original intention." ”
After that, he turned over and covered the soft duvet and said to Yan'er: "Okay, rest early, Yan'er, good night." ”
"Good night, Brother Xiao Chen. Yan'er responded sweetly, and then lay down on the bed sideways.
Listening to the sound of the steamer pushing the waves outside the window, and feeling the soft spring mattress under his body, Chen Zhe soon entered a hazy state and was about to fall asleep.
And just when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard a sound of rustling on the bed next to him, and then Yan'er seemed to crawl off the bed and walked towards Chen Zhe with a pillow.
Chen Zhe was excited, and his sleepiness suddenly disappeared, he sat up gently, looked up at Yan'er and asked, "What's wrong Yan'er? Why don't you sleep?"
At this time, Yan'er had already taken off her rough jacket and camouflage pants, leaving only an inner lining, she looked at Chen Zhe a little shyly, lowered her head and said, "Brother Xiao Chen, I ...... I...... I can't sleep. ”
"Why can't you fall asleep? Is it because you were too excited about the music exchange just now? Listening to music before going to bed is indeed easy to fall asleep. Chen Zhe said patiently.
Unexpectedly, Yan'er shook her head and said, "No, on the desert island before, everyone slept together...... Now that we're suddenly sleeping in separate beds, I'm ...... I'm just a little uncomfortable......"
Yan'er was a little embarrassed to say this, after all, this matter is indeed difficult to talk about, but it is true, Yan'er used to sleep with Chen Zhe on the island every night, and now she suddenly slept separately, and there was a hot living pillow next to her, it definitely didn't feel right.
Chen Zhe also understood this, this reason was definitely not made up by Yan'er, so he nodded generously, and then pulled out his quilt and invited: "Then let's sleep together?"
"Hmm...... Hmmm!"
Yan'er obviously planned to do the same, after all, she even brought a pillow, and seeing that Chen Zhe agreed, she climbed onto Chen Zhe's bed without saying a word.
Put your own pillow next to Chen Zhe's pillow, let the two pillows squeeze tightly together, and then get into the quilt and curl up in Chen Zhe's arms.
"Well, I won't lose sleep now. Yan'er said happily, and hugged Chen Zhe's thick and sturdy arm very skillfully.
Chen Zhe looked down at Yan'er, who had closed her eyes, felt her smooth skin, smelled the faint fragrance of roses in her hair, smiled dotingly, and said softly: "Good night, silly girl." ”
Put the quilt back on, and the two of them quickly fell asleep together this time.
......
The sleep was comfortable and sound, and the night slipped away.
Yan'er snuggled in Chen Zhe's arms, and Chen Zhe also hugged Yan'er gently.
When he slept until almost the middle of the night, Chen Zhe suddenly heard an alarm sound, which came from the cabin, and the sound was quite terrifying.
"Woo——! woo——!woo——!"
Vigilant, he woke up immediately, but Yan'er in his arms was still sleeping soundly, which shows that Yan'er is really the island these days, and she will sleep so soundly this time.
Chen Zhe gently shook Yan'er's body, trying to wake her up.
"Yan'er, Yan'er......"
Under Chen Zhe's gentle shaking, Yan'er finally opened her eyes.
"Hmm, Brother Xiao Chen, is it dawn?
"No, it's not dawn yet, it's supposed to be the middle of the night. Chen Zhe said in a low voice, "But there should have been an accident on the ship." ”
"What?" Yan'er was so frightened that she was not sleepy, she rubbed her eyes wide, and asked, "What kind of accident? Did you hit an iceberg? Or did you meet the king squid?"
Yesterday's king squid really left a huge damage to Yan'er's young heart, so she is still very scared.
And just after she finished asking these questions, she also heard the sound of the ship's siren.
"Woo——! woo ——!"
Then there was a sudden violent shudder in the hull, as if it had collided with some heavy object.
Boom!
There was a loud noise, and it felt the same as when the king squid attacked Chen Zhe's sailboat.
"Shouldn't you really have met the king squid again?" Yan'er asked nervously, "Then we are too unlucky......
"Probably not. Chen Zhe shook his head and said, "This Morning Star is much larger than our sailing ship, and the largest size of the King Squid is only about 20 meters, not more than 30 meters, how can this creature threaten the Morning Star? This must be something more serious......
At this time, the people in the next room also woke up, Mi-hee, Liatila, Big Joe, and Little Joe...... They all walked out of the room and into the hallway.
"What happened?"
"I don't know, I just know that the alarm went off. ”
"Something seems to have hit the side of the ship. ”
"Is it the king squid again?"
Chen Zhe and Yan'er also hurriedly put on their clothes and walked out of the cabin, and came to the corridor to meet everyone, and Liatila asked nervously, "Chen Zhe, do you know what happened?"
"I don't know. Chen Zhe shrugged his shoulders and frowned, "I hope it doesn't hit an iceberg." ”
Before the words could be spoken, an even more terrible sound suddenly came from the deck, it was the sound of gunfire, and it seemed that someone had fired it.
"——! Hyper"
"Hyperactive!"
Then came the sound of hurried footsteps, and the screams of some women.
Someone shouted in English, "pirate!"
"What?" Hearing the word vaguely, Liatila was frightened and nervously said, "Is it a pirate?
Chen Zhe didn't know much about the sea areas in this area, so he could only ask others: "Are there pirates in the waters of this area where we are?"
Meixi immediately nodded and said: "This is the junction of the territorial waters of the three kingdoms, and the division of sea power has not been particularly clear since ancient times, so pirates are often infested, and it is not uncommon......
"It's over!" Little Joe said nervously, "We've met pirates!"
Da Qiao also frowned and said: "The people on the Morning Star are either rich or expensive, and the route is fixed every year, this kind of luxury giant ship must be easy to become the target of pirates, and it is inevitable to be targeted......
"Then what should we do now? abandon the ship and flee, or fight with them?" asked Yan'er in a low voice.
"It is definitely not possible to abandon ship and flee, pirates are much more mobile than us, and once we go to the direction of the lifeboat now, we will immediately encounter a siege by pirates......"
Chen Zhe said.
He's seen a lot of videos of pirates looting cruise ships before, so he's more experienced in this area.
"Then fight with them?" Mi-hee said in a deep voice with clenched fists, "I just don't know how their weapons and equipment are?"
"There were a couple of gunshots just now, and they all had guns. Chen Zhe said with a solemn expression, "We have no chance of winning against them, and we don't have weapons ...... now."
"Then what now?" asked Liatila with some horror, "Chen Zhe, ...... We're not going to die, are we?"
"Don't be discouraged, we'll be spared. Chen Zhe first calmed the emotions of several girls and encouraged, "Hide in the cabin first, and wait for the crew of the Morning Star to fight back, such a luxurious giant ship, the security team must be trustworthy." ”
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the direction of the stairs, and then a small crew member appeared from the corner, and he was the first to rescue Chen Zhe and their Cruise.
