Chapter 354: Inexplicable Worry
A week later, the silvery-white Polaris was out on the Pacific Ocean, cruising at cruising speed day and night toward its destination Hawaii......
Although this journey is far away, life is not monotonous, and it can even be called colorful. Because everyone can find a way to pass the time on the boat, and even indulge in it without knowing the sun and the moon. Such as eating food, listening to opera, watching movies, as well as health and bodybuilding, gambling and so on. In some cases, the boat stops in the middle of the boat and holds large-scale events such as swimming competitions and fishing competitions on the small sea. If you pass through a more primitive and unique island, interested tourists will also be escorted by a small team of security guards, and go to the island to have a good time. Anyway, the people who get on this boat will not be busy or panic, after all, the most abundant thing for everyone is time, including money, of course.
For Xu Wenlong and Liang Shiqi, even if there are no entertainment facilities on the cruise ship and no activities scheduled, they will not feel bored, let alone difficult. Because in their minds, the other party is their own life, and the other party is their everything. Other than that, there is nothing more intriguing and precious. Therefore, they rarely attend parties held on the ship, and most of the time they are inseparable and glued together, leaning on each other to watch the sunrise and sunset, and enjoy the blue sky and blue sea together.
However, there are exceptions, such as the sea fishing event held two days ago, because the prize is a special goldfish hook the thickness of a finger, and the hook is wrapped in a fat and cute pure goldfish. This made Xu Wenlong, who didn't want to participate in the competition, immediately moved, and he was eager to try his luck to see if he could get the prize in his hands so that he could give it to Yang Yingying as a birthday gift. Because it will be her birthday in more than ten days, and the special gift she promised has not been delivered, which can't help but make people panic. However, the result of the competition is regrettable, when he won the championship with a huge sunfish, Zhu Hong's boyfriend Zhou Jiuhua, that is, the lewd man, miraculously caught a rare wolf eel at the moment of ending the competition. According to the rules, the person who catches the most exotic fish wins the championship, and if not, the person who catches the biggest fish is the champion. In this way, things are a bit complicated, Zhou Jiuhua caught the most bizarre fish, but after all, he caught it in a delay, although it was only a few seconds, but after all, it did not belong to the scope of the competition. What to do? Fortunately, Xu Wenlong was generous and took the initiative to give up the award, which helped the referee team solve a problem. Originally, the matter ended in this way, and everyone should be happy and happy, but Xu Wenlong and Liang Shiqi's full-time waiter Wen Li was not happy, and even a little angry. All day long, pouting, and babbling. In the end, under Liang Shiqi's coaxing and persuasion, he finally reluctantly closed his mouth.
On this day, Xu Wenlong came back from the gym sweating profusely as usual, and after taking a shower, he comfortably ate the sumptuous breakfast prepared by Liang Shiqi for him. Of course, these exquisite foods are definitely not made by Liang Shiqi herself, but she carefully selected them from various restaurants and asked the waiters to deliver them.
"What about Wen Li? Did you go out early in the morning again? Xu Wenlong glanced at Wen Li's closed door, and while eating a big hot dog, he asked Liang Shiqi casually, "This little girl is mysterious all day long, and she can't even see a shadow." ”
Liang Shiqi sighed, gently put down the hot soup in his hand and said, "Isn't it?" I went out early in the morning, and slipped into the room in the middle of the night. As soon as she lay down, she fell asleep, and I really didn't know what she was messing with. Let's hope nothing happens to her, or we'll be sorry for her mother. ”
"It shouldn't come out," Xu Wenlong comforted Liang Shiqi, "I heard that she and that Bill?" Yang is very familiar with each other, and he will run around the floors together when he has nothing to do, and he will eat big meals in your name, buy toys, and occasionally go to the opera and watch movies. But that's fine, at least our ears are much quieter, and we don't have to fight with her. ”
Liang Shiqi replied with a sad face: "It's good to be like this, but you look at the door of her room." Dirty clothes and smelly socks are thrown around, and the shoes that are changed are one from east to west. What's even more annoying is her room, the quilts and sheets are crumpled and crumpled, the tables and chairs are messy, and the leftover snack scraps are everywhere, which is shocking to look at
It's shocking and miserable. ”
Xu Wenlong frowned and said helplessly: "Then what can be done?" I've known for a long time that she's a troublesome bug. But don't help her clean up in the future, just call the waiter. ”
"Forget it, I don't want to trouble the waiter." Liang Shiqi's face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head and said with a twist, "Just treat her as ...... Let's just think she's her own child. Practice watching the children and doing housework in advance, anyway...... Anyway, we are going to have many, many children in the future. As she spoke, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, looking very shy and cute.
When Xu Wenlong heard this, his heart was full of happiness and sweetness, and his meal was extraordinarily fragrant.
Liang Shiqi quietly looked at Xu Wenlong, who was gobbling up, with a relieved smile on her face. But soon she frowned again, lowered her head and said to Xu Wenlong: "There is something I want to ...... I want to say ...... to you."
"Oh? What's up? Xu Wenlong put down his chopsticks, raised his head and looked at Liang Shiqi and said, "What about politeness between us?" Say it, I'll listen. ”
"That's right," Liang Shiqi said as if she had made up her mind, "It's still this annoying little girl, I found out that she actually ...... I even know how to gamble! That's the kind of ...... Use two dice, put them in a cup and shake them around, then take the cup and compare the size of the points. Oh my God, what kind of people did she bet on! All of them are five big and three coarse, fierce and vicious, and they will scare people to death when they look at them, and the stakes are really not small. But she was not afraid at all, she was very skillful, she looked like a casino veteran, and even won a lot of money. ”
"Huh? And such a thing? Xu Wenlong said in surprise, "This is amazing, she is a young girl, and she is a little girl, and she is contaminated with such bad habits." ”
"Yes, I was shocked when I saw it for the first time, and I severely stopped her!" Liang Shiqi said worriedly, "But you also know that with someone like her, who is sharp and slippery, how can she listen to people's advice?" If you lose all your luck and owe a lot of debt, the danger will be great, and you may even get your life into it. ”
"Well, that's a problem," Xu Wenlong's face slowly became serious, "It's a big problem. I'm going to have to teach her a good lesson. If she still does not repent, the captain will be notified of her dismissal immediately. ”
When Liang Shiqi heard that Wen Li was going to be fired, she was a little unbearable, and even a little reluctant. She bit her lip and pondered for a while, then said to Xu Wenlong in a consultative tone: "For the sake of her young age, it is necessary to teach her a hard lesson, just dismiss her." After all, this is a pleasure boat, and it sails on the high seas, and gambling is legal. If the captain doesn't have any opinions, I don't think we should be too her, and let her do the work. As long as we pay more attention to her and don't let her have accidents. ”
Xu Wenlong thought about it, if the captain didn't interfere, it would mean that she would not be in danger, at least not so far. Otherwise, after working on the ship for so long, there should have been an accident a long time ago. Thinking of this, he nodded his head lightly and replied, "Well, then we will see how the captain solves it." ”
"Then let's hurry up and eat," Liang Shiqi's mind was gone, and the whole person immediately became relaxed and happy. She kept putting vegetables into Xu Wenlong's bowl, and urged him again and again, "You have to eat more, don't be hungry." By the way, I had to accompany Amanda to the beauty salon after dinner. She didn't know how many times she had invited me, and I would be embarrassed to refuse again. I'm so sorry, you won't be angry. ”
"How can this be?" Xu Wenlong smiled and said to Liang Shiqi, "It's okay, you can go." ”
"What about you?" Liang Shiqi tilted her head, looked at Xu Wenlong mischievously and said, "What are you going to do after I leave?" Will you feel lonely? Is there a hint of loneliness? ”
"Well," Xu Wenlong finished the dim sum in the bowl in two bites, and then replied with his mouth wiped, "Just take a walk around the boat in and out of the boat, take a look, and wait patiently for you to come back for lunch." It would be best if I could meet Wen Li's girl, so that I would have the opportunity to educate her well. ”
"Alright, we'll see you at lunch!"
"Okay, see you for lunch!"
Chapter 21: Looking for Wen Li
After Liang Shiqi left, Xu Wenlong changed into a set of casual clothes, walked out of his suite leisurely, and walked to the outdoor deck with a thousand miles of eyes.
At this time, the blue sky on the Pacific Ocean is far-reaching, the white clouds are long, and the large and small seabirds spread their wings and soar between the blue sky and the blue sea. On the endless sea, the huge Polaris sailed tirelessly with its head held high in the gentle sea breeze and dragged its long wake......
Although it was already more than ten o'clock in the morning, the deck was sparsely populated and quite deserted. In this limited group of people, it is dominated by middle-aged and elderly people who take fitness walks. The younger ones were still asleep under the covers because they ate and drank all night last night.
Xu Wenlong took a few deep breaths in the salty and wet sea breeze, and slowly walked to the lower deck of the cruise ship with a happy mood. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that he was okay and go to the various floors to take a look. By the way, find Wen Li and see what she's doing all day long. If you have the opportunity, you have to teach her a hard lesson, otherwise it will really turn the world upside down.
The number of tourists who get up gradually increases, eating breakfast, visiting the mall, wandering around, and hurrying to have fun and dates, making the originally quiet cruise ship lively.
Xu Wenlong walked down the stairs one by one, admiring the breathtaking decorations in the cruise ship, and closely watching the flow of people, hoping to find the slippery and naughty little Wenli. When passing by a Chinese restaurant, Xu Wenlong suddenly saw Bill? Yang hurriedly walked out pushing a food truck, presumably to deliver food to a tourist who hadn't gotten up yet. He quickly quickened his pace, waved his hand and shouted, "Bill, Bill, please wait a minute......"
Bill? Yang looked back and found that it was Xu Wenlong, a distinguished passenger on the ship. So he hurriedly stopped moving forward, and said to Xu Wenlong enthusiastically: "Mr. Xu? Did you have breakfast? Come and eat at our restaurant. We have freshly caught king crab, lobster and other seafood, including the country's famous soup and pastry. ”
"Thanks, I just ate it." Xu Wenlong strode up to Bill and asked him politely, "Have you seen Wenli?" Do you know where she is? ”
"See," Bill? Yang nodded and said, "She came here early in the morning to eat, but she left after eating." ”
"Do you know where she went?" Xu Wenlong was overjoyed and immediately asked him.
"It's hard to say," Bill? Yang Mian replied with a sad face, "Because she has been to too many places." She can be seen in shopping malls, theaters, playgrounds, including galleys, power rooms, and command cabins. What's wrong? Do you have something to do with her? Wouldn't it be in a hurry, should you let the captain call her on the radio? ”
When Xu Wenlong heard this, he hurriedly excused himself and said, "It's okay, don't worry, just ask." By the way, will she go to the casino? Do you gamble a lot? ”
"Well," Bill? Yang saw that Xu Wenlong's face was complicated, and his worries and concerns were overflowing, so he comforted him and said, "Occasionally, I don't go often." But you can rest assured that gambling on the high seas is legal, and as long as there are no more than a thousand cheats, the cruise ship has the responsibility to ensure her life. ”
"So is her bet big? What about winning or losing? ”
"The stakes aren't huge, but she's not winning. Whether it's pai gow, reels, poker, etc. "Bill? Yang said as he spoke, and a look of awe appeared on his face, "Of course, it's not that she will make any small moves, at least I haven't found out." Mainly because she is bold and careful, and her mind is flexible. And he is very good at figuring out other people's thoughts. So ordinary people are really not her opponents. ”
Xu Wenlong smiled bitterly and shook his head, but there was a slight comfort in his heart. After all, Wen Li is quite honest and did not use any improper means to win money, which should be praised. He pondered for a moment, wanting to ask Bill again? Yang inquired deeply about some of the situation, but he was worried that he would miss his work, so he said goodbye to him: "Thank you, you go and get busy first, I'll go downstairs to find her and see if I can find her." ”
"Okay, Mr. Xu is welcome to come to our restaurant at any time." Bill? Yang waved his hand, pushed into the dining cart and hurried in the other direction.
