As the voyage drew to a close, they returned to Mahe.

Qiao Xihe poked the fishing rod, a little deflated.

I changed the bait several times, and I also consulted the crew, but no big fish was hooked, not even a small fish.

The crew said that sometimes it is also a matter of luck.

There were a few people on the boat who didn't catch a fish, but everyone had a great time today.

Qiao Xihe was still a little lost, leaning on the side of the boat and looking at today's photos.

At this moment, Pei Tingyuan found that his fishing rod was trembling violently, and according to what the crew said, a big fish had bitten the hook.

He glanced at Qiao Xihe, who was concentrating on looking at the photo, and quickly reversed the position of the two people's fishing rods, and then shouted in surprise: "Qiaoqiao, come on, your fishing rod is moving!"

When Qiao Xihe heard this, he immediately jumped up, "Really, really?"

Pei Tingyuan handed her gloves, "Come, let's slowly reel in the thread." ”

"Okay!" Qiao Xihe put on his gloves and became nervous, his eyes were fixed on the thin almost invisible fishing line, and he followed Pei Tingyuan's movements and slowly put away the line.

She was a little scared, afraid that if she didn't catch it, the fish would break free.

"Come up!" In the tense atmosphere, Pei Tingyuan suddenly spoke, and with a force in his hand, a large salmon came out of the water and slapped its tail vigorously, "Be careful, Qiaoqiao, I'll come." ”

He grabbed the fish so hard that the slippery touch almost made it fly out of his hand.

Fortunately, in the end, the fish was smoothly put into a special ice bucket.

When the people on the boat saw that they had also caught fish, they applauded them.

Qiao Xihe nodded and thanked him, and then said to Pei Tingyuan: "You can eat the freshest three-flavor fish fillet today, and some of it can be used to make grilled salmon......"

As she spoke, she felt like her saliva was going to water.

"Ting Yuan, will you get it?"

This is a bit difficult for Pei Tingyuan, he is not a master at dealing with salmon.

In order not to ruin Qiao Xihe's mood by eating unpalatable salmon, he could only say in an old-fashioned manner: "Qiaoqiao, let's leave it to a professional chef to do it, right?"

"That's right. Qiao Xihe was a little disappointed, "Okay then......"

Pei Tingyuan hurriedly changed the topic, "It seems that you won today." ”

You can already see the pier, and there are no more fish near the shore.

Qiao Xihe's mood suddenly improved, "I won, I won!" she cheered.

"Yes, you won. Pei Ting said from afar.

Qiao Xihe smiled evilly: "Then you have to accept the punishment......"

"Oh?" Pei Tingyuan approached her, "What kind of punishment?"

Qiao Xihe thought about it seriously, and until she went ashore, she didn't say why, because the first thing to consider was that after most of the day's sailing, as soon as she stepped on the ground, she felt like stepping on cotton, top-heavy.

"I feel like I'm going to fly. She spread her arms and walked cautiously forward.

Pei Tingyuan carried the ice bucket and supported her with the other hand, "Be careful." ”

"Hmm. Qiao Xihe responded.

The two walked slowly all the way back to the resort, and Qiao Xihe felt better.

She rubbed her forehead, "It's fun to play, but this feeling is really ......" she shook her head.

"You've come back from the sea?"

Before Pei Tingyuan could speak, a voice interjected horizontally.

Qiao Xihe looked back and saw that it was Eric.

"......" she was a little speechless.

However, Eric's face has returned to normal, and he is wearing a normal set of solid color T-shirts and beach pants, which is similar to the hip-hop teenager in the morning.

Qiao Xihe didn't know if it was because he was schizophrenic or if there was something wrong with Eric.

"We're going back to our room to rest. Pei Tingyuan said coldly.

Eric said: "Thank you for saving me in the morning, I am here to say thank you, but I can't think of what kind of thank you gift is better." ”

"No thanks, helping others is a traditional Chinese virtue. Pei Tingyuan's attitude was still very indifferent, and he even grabbed Qiao Xihe's hand and prepared to go back to the room.

As long as it is a normal person, it can clearly perceive that cold feeling, and it will no longer be embarrassing.

However, Eric spoke, "You caught a fish, and I'm good at cooking, especially sashimi, so why don't I help you make it?"

"No need. Pei Tingyuan refused.

Eric said, "I want to repay you." ”

Pei Tingyuan said: "I don't need it. With that, he ignored Eric again, pushed open the door, and went in.

The door slammed shut, and Eric was completely hung in the doorway.

He stood for a few seconds, then turned and walked away.

Qiao Xihe saw him go back and sighed, "This guy ...... It's weird. ”

"Let's go take a shower first. Pei Tingyuan said: "I'll ask the chef to deal with this fish." ”

"Hmm. Qiao Xihe nodded, took a change of clothes, and walked into the bathroom.

Through the window, she saw Eric sitting at the door of his own cabin, still holding a picture in his arms, looking out to sea.

Even though she knew he couldn't see, she hurried down the blinds and went to take a shower.

After being blown by the sea breeze and the sun for a day, and soaking in the sea for a long time, Qiao Xihe felt that he was at least two shades darker, and he always felt that there were small grains of sand on his body, so he quickly took a comfortable shower.

After waiting for her tossing for a while, she came out of the bathroom and saw Pei Tingyuan setting the dining table.

The wooden dining table was covered with a white tablecloth, in which were the pair of crystal angels and candlesticks, and a bouquet of fiery roses.

The three-flavored fish had been sliced, its crystal thin flesh as cicada wings, neatly spread on a teal plate, served with mustard and sauce.

Salmon is served, as well as some local seafood and fruits, which make the table an extraordinarily tempting.

"Mrs. Pei, please be seated. Pei Tingyuan moved his chair back.

Qiao Xihe sat down, then covered his mouth and smiled, "Such a romantic candlelight dinner, but you are wearing beach pants and I am wearing a nightdress, it's really special......"

Pei Tingyuan said: "It's a two-person world now, isn't it just that we can do whatever we want?"

"That's right!" Qiao Xihe nodded happily, "You can take a shower too, and then we'll have dinner?"

"Okay, wait for me, don't steal food. Pei Tingyuan scratched the bridge of her nose and went to take a shower.

Qiao Xihe rubbed his hands, looked around the dining table, and took some small things to decorate.

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

Her heart jumped, and her first reaction was—wouldn't Eric come again?

She hesitated, then walked over slowly, glancing out of the window.

It turned out to be a resort attendant.

She breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door.

The waiter said, "Hello, I'm here to deliver food." ”

Qiao Xihe nodded, "Please come in." ”

She looked out again, just as Eric turned his head.

For a moment, the eyes met.
