There are several periods of fishing in the second half of the night. Between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m., schools of fish flock to the shallow plankton-rich waters to feed, making it a great opportunity for fishing.

At about three o'clock in the morning, Haichen, who had an alarm clock, woke up Lu Rulan. The two of them took their equipment and went out in the dark, and the sailboat rode the cool breeze all the way to the position Haichen had chosen before.

The sea at midnight is as black as ink and vast. The sound of the sea breeze and the sound of the waves in your ears. Lu Rulan sat at the stern of the boat, feeling like she was in a desolate desert, and couldn't help but sigh a little.

At this moment, Haichen's voice sounded in his ears.

"Look up."

Lu Rulan raised her head according to her words, and only then did she find that there was starry light above her head. High in the sky, trillions of glittering stars are inlaid with it. A hazy Milky Way in the middle, like the closed eyelids of a god, is so magnificent that it makes people feel terrible.

"We're here."

Before you know it, the ship has stopped at sea. Haichen turned on the stern light and instructed Lu Rulan to take out the fishing tackle from the cabin.

Although it was the first time to go fishing at night, they had a lot of experience in going out to sea, so the two of them skillfully assembled the fishing tackle, put the bait made by Haichen, and began to throw the rod.

The glowing electronic float clearly indicates where the hook has landed. Haichen simply turned off the lights on the ship, and the two of them were suddenly bathed in the hazy starlight.

At first, no one spoke, and ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the fish had not yet taken the bait. The atmosphere slowly became awkward, and finally Haichen lay on the deck with his back to the sky.

"Your brother and Doctor Du seem to be very affectionate recently."

Lu Rulan smiled bitterly: "You just found out?" I'm almost blinded by them. I used to be able to walk around my brother's house, but now he lives with Dr. Du. I didn't even dare to knock on the door, because if I didn't look at something, it would be miserable. ”

Haichen sighed: "Speaking of which, it seems that Duan Whale and Lin Youqing also sleep together at night." ”

"Yes, a few times when I went to the toilet, I saw Lin Youqing walking into Duan Whale's room with a pillow."

"Aren't they more normal? I'm just afraid of being bumped into by my son. When I was a child, I once got up in the middle of the night to drink water, and I heard a strange sound in my parents' room, so I went to see it...... A lifetime of childhood shadows......"

"What a mess!" Lu Rulan couldn't help but sneer, "You have a lot to do at night." ”

As he spoke, Haichen's fishing rod moved. He quickly got up and retracted the rod, and it didn't take long for him to pull up a strange fish that was slightly larger than the palm of his hand, and had black and white spots all over his body.

"Stone Dog Male." Haichen skillfully removed the hook and threw the fish into the plastic bucket, "It's good to cook soup and drink it." ”

Lu Rulan was a little anxious: "Why haven't I moved here?" ”

"Pull it up and take a look."

Saying that, Haichen asked Lu Rulan to roll up the fishing line. When I took back the hook, I saw that the bait on it had already been eaten completely. He helped change the bait, and asked Lu Rulan to throw it out, while continuing the topic just now.

"Seriously, every time I see the two of them together, that kind of atmosphere, tsk, it's really unsightly. How can the world be so malicious to single dogs? ”

"They don't usually have anything. My brother may be a little clingy, but Dr. Du is still very measured. Brother Duan and Brother Youqing are not very boring. ”

"You're really sluggish."

Haichen sighed, not taking this matter seriously, and poked Lu Rulan's arm again: "Hey, your brother has a master, how do you feel?" Wouldn't it be a little lost? ”

Lu Rulan groaned: "At first, I was a little unaccustomed, after all, my brother and I have been dependent on each other for so many years, and now I suddenly feel as if he has been snatched away." But I also know that this will happen sooner or later, and if Dr. Du can really make my brother happy, I should be happy too. ”

"Yo, you're really your brother's intimate little padded jacket."

Haichen said this, and looked at the electronic fish drift on the dark sea: "Then have you ever been in love before?" I've heard you say on TV before, like that kind of innocent and lovely sister next door? ”

"That's all a routine, a routine! The innocent and cute sister next door was the fan positioning of our group back then, do you want me to say that I like a sister with strong big breasts? ”

"Big breasted sister? I didn't expect you to be so heavy-tasted. But you love big breasts, and you and your brother are really the same. ”

"Just kidding...... Don't just talk about me, what type do you like? ”

"I'm ......"

Haichen deliberately sold the guanzi, checked the hook and released it again.

"First of all, the face must be beautiful. The skin doesn't have to be too white, but it can't be too dark. Don't be too short, but it's not fun to be taller than me. The hair should be soft, the teeth should be white, the nose should be small, and the eyelashes should be long and curling...... And the lips, the meat is the cutest, I want people to take a bite. ”

He described it so carefully that Lu Rulan was a little embarrassed when he heard it, and his ears were hot.

"It's like there's such a person."

"Why isn't there any?" Haichen's low laughter came from the darkness: "I hide his photo in my phone and put it next to my pillow every day." Would you like to check it out? ”

Lu Rulan felt that her ears were almost burning, and shook her head without thinking: "I...... I'm not interested! ”

Haichen was not reluctant, and still calmly caught his fish. In just half an hour, he harvested three more times in succession. Looking at Lu Rulan's side again, not even a small shrimp was caught.

When he helped him change the bait for the third time, Haichen couldn't help but sigh: "As an angler, your feeling is really dull. ”

Lu Rulan couldn't hold her face, so she stiffened her neck and quibbled: "I just came out to relax, and I don't care if I catch a fish or not." ”

"Good, good, you don't care." Haichen habitually coaxed, and couldn't help but talk more: "Xiaolan, if you can't get something, you don't want it, this mentality is not good." Why not admit it generously? ”

"What about admitting it? If I admit that I want fish, the fish will take the bait on its own? ”

"Yes, I'll go down to the sea right now and catch a fish and hang it on your hook."

"I think it's better for you to bite the hook directly!"

Lu Rulan was amused by him, but after being happy, she was sullen: "In the end, I'm useless." It's not like Brother Duan, who knows how to see a doctor, and not like my brother who knows everything about plants. It's not like you, you can swim, you can sail a boat, and you know the sea so well. To be honest, it doesn't matter if I'm missing from this team. ”

"How can it be okay!"

Haichen immediately retorted seriously: "When you first came to the island, you really wouldn't do this and that. But haven't you learned a lot by now? Duan Whale: They assembled the robotic arm, weren't you the one who helped on the side? Aren't you the one who changed my leg? Besides, your cooking is super delicious, and I won't change it if you give me a five-star chef. Let me eat it for the rest of my life. ”

“…… Thank you," Lu Rulan was a little moved, "It's been a long time since anyone has praised me so hard." ”

"It's not a compliment, it's a fact. You have no idea how good you are and how hard you try. But I can see it, I can see it all the time. ”

Speaking of which, Haichen also withdrew his fishing rod.

"It's almost four o'clock. Next, there will be more fish around sunrise...... Why don't we eat something first? ”

"Did you bring something to eat?"

"A few lemons, and a few cakes left over from dinner. Don't worry, I'll take you to the bottom of the water to fish for the really delicious food. ”

With that, they sailed back to the edge of the secret cliff where sea urchins and barnacles had been dug on the shore. Haichen dropped anchor and asked Lu Rulan to put on a new type of underwater breathing apparatus, put on fins, and follow him to the sea with a waterproof flashlight.

The midnight ocean world glows a mysterious blue under the flashlight. Because it is nearshore, you can see the seabed when you dive about four or five meters.

Unlike the oceans of tropical resort islands, there are no colorful corals, and the slightly undulating reefs are barren at first glance. But if you look closely, there are many marine plants swaying slightly with the waves, and the small fish that cannot be named are standing still facing the reef, as if they are sleeping.

Haichen had no intention of disturbing their peace, and as he bypassed a reef, he saw two or three large bulges bulging out of the hard seabed in front of him. Haichen shone the flashlight, and Lu Rulan realized that it was actually a large group of large oysters stacked in clusters.

The two men quickly swam over and used the tools they had brought to pry the pile of oysters apart and put them into bags. After sweeping the three oyster beds in one go, the pockets are bulging.

After digging oysters, the two men floated back to the sailboat. Haichen threw Lu Rulan a dry bath towel, and he poured the oysters in his two pockets directly on the deck and counted them.

"Wow, that's a lot! It is estimated that there must be forty or fifty, twenty or thirty pounds. You can bring it back after a while, and ask your brother and sister-in-law to make dumplings for you to eat. ”

Lu Rulan was already greedy: "Don't talk about the future, let's get one or two to try first?" ”

Haichen said "Okay", and pry open one with a knife in his hand. Pick out the tender and fat white meat inside, spread it on the cake, squeeze lemon juice and a pinch of salt, and hand it to Lu Rulan.

"Eat it in one bite."

Lu Rulan took the cake, opened her mouth wide and stuffed it in, chewing it gently. Suddenly, I felt a fresh and slightly sour refreshing taste permeating my mouth. The fatty oyster meat and the coarse dough make for such a contrasting and complementary wonderful taste, which is irresistible.

"Delicious, right?"

"Hmm!"

Anyway, now is not a good time for fishing, the two of them simply sit down to pry oysters and eat happily.

I don't know how many I pryed, but I heard Haichen suddenly whisper.

"Ouch!"

"What's wrong?" Lu Rulan hurriedly cared: "Did you cut it?" ”

"It's not. There are stones in this oyster meat, and they have reached the teeth. ”

"Are teeth alright? Is it broken? Help you take a look? ”

Saying that, Lu Rulan was going to carry a lantern to shine on Haichen's mouth.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Haichen stopped him in time, and said with a smile: "Xiaolan, you really care about me." ”

"Also...... There's nothing there, it's just ordinary care...... That's it. ”

Lu Rulan replied, disgusted with how she couldn't speak so much. Fortunately, Haichen did not continue to raise the bar.

Seeing that he was no longer silent, Lu Rulan turned his head to observe his reaction.

In the faint light of the morning, Haichen's profile looked contoured. With a straight nose and thin cheeks, he is handsome, and he has long been unable to see the shadow of the black and thin gangster back then.

Lu Rulan seemed to realize that the man beside her exuded an attraction.

In order to avoid being sucked over, Lu Rulan could only move a little away, and then pretended to look up at the sky very unnaturally.

“…… The surroundings seem to be getting brighter? ”

"It's past five o'clock, and the sun is about to rise."

Haichen raised his hand and pointed forward: "That side is the east." Look, the sun is coming out. ”

Following his point, the place where the sea and the sky meet has been inlaid with a layer of gold edges. Phnom Penh grew wider and wider, and soon formed a huge multicolored "cocoon", in which the outline of the sun was visible.

Seeing that Lu Rulan was fascinated, Haichen took the opportunity to come to his side.

"This is the first time you've watched the sunrise from the sea?"

"Hmm."

"Then you have to look carefully, the sun is rising very fast, don't blink."

"Oh."

Lu Rulan believed it and looked at the east with a serious face.

I saw that the five-colored silkworm cocoons on the horizon became bigger and thinner, and the red sun in the cocoons rose higher and higher, and finally jumped out.

The sky and the earth were dazzling in an instant, and Lu Rulan instinctively turned his face sideways to close his eyes.

But at this moment, he felt a warm and soft touch on his lips.

It's a kiss.

Lu Rulan turned her head in astonishment, and found that Haichen had already leaned over and wrapped one hand around his shoulder.

"Xiaolan, I really like you, marry me, okay?"
