Honk...... With a long series of whistles, the huge "Polaris" slowly sailed to the sea with the cheers and shouts of countless people, reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun and carrying good wishes.

Liang Shiqi looked excited, her face was flushed, she kept waving her hands and cheering, jumping, until the figure on the dock became smaller and smaller, more and more blurred, she reached out and hugged Xu Wenlong's waist, and said with irrepressible joy: "I didn't expect my father to be so busy with work, and he had to wait for the cruise ship to leave the coast before leaving, didn't he say that he would go back after sending it to the entrance?" ”

"Yes, no one left early, they were all there waiting to see us off, but luckily we came out in time." Xu Wenlong replied with a smile. But when he thought of Yang Yingying, who looked anxious and behaved abnormally, he felt inexplicably uneasy. Did she really have some premonitions? Does she really think that there will be any accidents on this trip? How is this possible? Haven't pirates long since disappeared? As for the wind and waves, even if it reaches the highest level of hurricanes, isn't it equivalent to a mantis arm blocking a car and a dragonfly shaking a tree for this huge and friendless cruise ship? What can it cost? What harm does it bring? It seems that she is purely nervous and overly worried!

Liang Shiqi saw Xu Wenlong frowning and muttering, so she asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" Uncomfortable? Why don't we go back and get some rest? ”

"It's nothing," Xu Wenlong shook his head vigorously, pretending to be very relaxed, "No need to rest, let's take a walk on this deck, it's not bad to see the beautiful scenery of this dusk." ”

"Well, I really don't want to go back like this." Liang Shiqi said happily.

At this time, Wen Li hurriedly walked to the deck with a blonde foreigner, and when she saw Liang Shiqi from a distance, she waved her hand and shouted: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, Captain James is here, he has come to visit you." ”

Xu Wenlong looked back and couldn't help but say strangely: "Captain James? Why did he come to see us at this time? ”

"What's so strange about that!" Liang Shiqi replied very confidently, "It must be that ghost girl who specially brought him to see us in order to dispel our worries, and to prove her extraordinary relationship with the captain." ”

"Makes sense, I guess so!" Xu Wenlong nodded and groaned.

While speaking, Wen Li trotted over with Captain James, and acted as an "introducer". She blinked her big round eyes vigorously, pointed at James with a smile, and said, "This is Captain James, and I specially took the time to say hello to you." Then she pointed to Xu Wenlong and Liang Shiqi beside her, and said to James in fluent English: "This is my new boss, Mr. Xu and Miss Liang, you must have heard their names." Now you can be close to each other without being too restricted. ”

Tall and strong, James was a captain with decades of seafaring experience. After listening to Wen Li's introduction, he stretched out a pair of big furry hands and said, "Mr. Xu, Miss Liang, hello, it's a pleasure for us to meet again!" ”

Xu Wenlong was extremely surprised by Wen Li's fluent English at first, but later thought about it and felt that it was not surprising, after all, she was a Chinese-American and lived in the United States since she was a child.

It's strange that you don't know English! It seems that her identity is real, her experience is unquestionable, and her various speculations about her are obviously superfluous. He glanced at Wen Li with appreciative eyes, then shook James' hand and said with great difficulty in English: "Hello Captain Navy, it is indeed a pleasure to see you again!" ”

Liang Shiqi also shook hands with James and said to him very elegantly: "It's an honor to fly the 'Polar Star', and it's an honor to know you, Mr. James!" ”

"Where, where!" James replied with a smile on his face, "It should be an incomparably honorable honor for all of us at Polaris to be able to carry such a noble person!" In fact, I should have come over as soon as you got on the ship, but the ship was about to start, and I was busy with scheduling, so I didn't dare to be careless, so I delayed the time. Until ......"

"It wasn't until the boat left the dock that the captain let the first mate take over the command, and he couldn't wait to come and meet you." Wen Li smiled slightly, immediately snatched James's words, and explained to Xu Wenlong and Liang Shiqi in Mandarin instead.

Liang Shiqi listened and hurriedly thanked Captain James and said, "Thank you very much for your enthusiasm, please let me sincerely say 'thank you'!" ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome, as it should be!" Captain James said with a gentlemanly bow.

At this moment, a dark-skinned crew member hurriedly walked over and reported to Captain James in a low voice: "Mr. Captain, David, the waiter in the No. 1 catering department is missing, and I have searched the whole ship and found no trace of him. ”

Wen Li's face changed slightly, and then she quietly moved her steps and flashed behind Xu Wenlong, pricking up her ears and quietly listening to the conversation between James and the crew.

James spread his hands, smiled apologetically at Xu Wenlong and Liang Shiqi, and then lowered his face and said angrily to the black crew: "Damn David, you can't get rid of the stinky habit of alcoholism!" Hurry up and inform the Binyang office, tell them to do their best to look for him in various bars, and after finding him, he will be dismissed on the spot, and will never be tolerated and connived again! ”

"Okay, I'll do it." The black crew nodded, and the captain said goodbye and hurried away.

Wen Li took a light breath, and her whole body immediately looked relaxed and happy. She flashed out from behind Xu Wenlong with her hands behind her back, squinted her eyes and said to Captain James with a grin: "It seems that your subordinates are not very obedient, lawless, and have repeatedly committed fouls." Well, I'm not looking back, which makes me a little uneasy about the way you manage. ”

Captain James smiled, scratched his head and said rather embarrassedly, "Before...... In the past, he just drank heavily and made trouble after work, but this time, he ...... Hey...... This time......"

When Liang Shiqi saw it, she quickly scolded Wen Li in Chinese: "What are you talking nonsense again, no big or small, you don't know how to respect your elders at all!" Besides, a cruise ship is so big and there are so many staff on board, who would not have it? ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm good friends with him!" Wen Li waved her hand disappreciatively, and then said loudly to Captain James in English, "You tell me, are we friends?" Directly said, it doesn't matter, Mr. Xu and Miss Liang are not outsiders, and they will not mention it to outsiders casually, please rest assured

。 ”

James paused, then gave a thumbs up and replied with a smile: "That's right, friend, I am friends with you, very, very good friends!" ”

Liang Shiqi glanced at Xu Wenlong with a wry smile, and couldn't say anything about her anymore.

When Wen Li heard this, she immediately became lively again. She exaggeratedly puffed up her chest and said to James with an old-fashioned look, "Since we are good friends, then I might as well give you a little advice." Tell them not to go to the bar, that's all in vain, it's all this time, who will stay there? Even if there were, I was thrown out of the store by the bartender. So now David must still be sleeping in a big hotel and dreaming, sweetly estimated to marry a wife in a dream, I know him very well...... I mean, I know his kind of person very well. ”

James's eyes lit up, and he immediately praised Wen Lilai: "Thank you, it makes sense, it makes sense, it makes sense, I will inform them to go to various hotels to find it." ”

Wen Li nodded in a big way, and said politely to everyone: "That's right, you can continue to talk, I'm going to go to Little Bill to buy food." With that, she hopped away humming a song.

James shrugged his shoulders, looked at Wen Li in the distance with satisfied eyes and said, "What a smart and lively girl, I like her very much!" ”

"We like her very much, too," Liang Shiqi said with a smile, "so I have to thank Captain James for his special attention." ”

"You're welcome, that's what we're supposed to do." James replied unintentionally, but his eyes were still chasing Wen Li's back, until he completely disappeared at the gangway, he looked at the time, and said to Xu Wenlong and Liang Shiqi apologetically: "I'm sorry two, I left beforehand, please play casually." Don't forget that all the entertainment and fitness facilities on board, including food and drinks, are free of charge for you! Also, I'm going to have a private party tonight, so to speak, a small banquet. There are not many guests, but the status is very noble. So in any case, please invite Mr. Xu and Miss Liang to come to your room, and I have already sent someone to your room! ”

When Liang Shiqi heard this, she hurriedly thanked her: "Thank you Captain James for your kind invitation, we will definitely attend on time!" ”

"Very well, then we'll see you then." Captain James snapped his fingers happily and took his leave with a spring breeze on his face.

After Captain James left, Liang Shiqi couldn't wait to say to Xu Wenlong: "Now rest assured, do you still think that Wen Li is a person who is indiscriminate and unknown?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Xu Wenlong frowned and said in a deep voice, "Anyway...... In short, she is a headache and a frightening troublemaker! ”

"Then for her mother's sake, try not to provoke her." Liang Shiqi hugged Xu Wenlong's arm and persuaded him softly, "Let's go, don't worry about it any more, let's go to the stern of the ship to have a look." ”

As the sun sets, the sky is full of sunset, and the light seabirds flutter their wings and hover in the blue sky, and the giant Polaris is like a huge and friendless moving castle, splitting the snow-white waves with the power of thunder, dragging a long wave mark far away to the depths of the sea.
