Chapter 203: Exotic Heaven
The docks of Portsmouth Harbour that day, unlike those on weekdays, were filled with restless crowds.
The clouds in the sky have not completely dissipated, but the clouds that hang over people's hearts are getting heavier and heavier.
People have already received news from the newspapers that several ships have been killed in this unprecedented storm in the North Sea, and the horror of this storm can be known from the warships that entered the harbor without exception with all the terrib decks. It is known that five large vessels were killed, and the damage suffered by small fishing boats has not yet been counted.
Anxious eyes were fixed on the sea in the distance, and some were inquiring about each other, hoping to hear from their loved ones. Among the waiting crowd, there was a pretty Qianguo woman in a dry suit that stood out as a standout.
Because she has been standing here from morning till night for two whole days.
Despite her haggard look, there was a suffocating beauty. Many people looked at her curiously, but her eyes were always focused on the sea, and she didn't hear the talk of the people around her.
"Come back...... Please......"
Lu Yingyan looked at the sea antenna in the distance and murmured softly.
During the period of Lu Yingyan's formal relationship with Lin Yizhe, not only were her previous suitors completely defeated by Lin Yizhe, but even her own family business was almost suspended, but she didn't care, she still dressed up brightly and dazzlingly all day long, happily waiting for his appearance.
Until she knew that he had a family, that quarrel.
And Lu Yingyan, who was ruthless and didn't see him, suddenly lost his company, although it was only a week later, she felt as if a century had passed.
Some things, only when they are lost, will they be found to be so important to themselves.
Thinking of her own willfulness and his gentleness, her heart was like a knife. She hung her head in pain, her hands wrenched together, and her knuckles turned white from too much force.
"Miss! Look! The ship is coming! The girl next to her suddenly screamed.
Lu Yingyan raised her head suddenly, looked at the sea, and sure enough, she saw a small black dot on the sea antenna, which seemed to be emitting a faint green smoke.
Lu Yingyan stared at this little black dot, and after a while, a boat shadow - no! Two boat shadows appeared. It's just that the boat in front is smoking, and the one behind, although it is also a steamer, has an empty chimney, and there is no smoke at all.
The shadows of the two boats gradually became larger, and people realized that the one in front was a warship, and the steamer that had tilted behind was towed by a warship!
There was a commotion in the crowd when they saw the steamer with two of its three masts broken and a mess on the deck.
"That's the Agamemnon! It didn't sink! It's saved! Someone couldn't help but shout.
"Oh God! Did it come back from Hell? β
"Look! In front of it is the 'Thetis'! It was the Qianguo people who saved the 'Agamemnon'! β
The two boats gradually sailed into the port, and the cheers and roars of the people around Lu Yingyan could no longer be heard, and her eyes were firmly fixed on the dragon flag flying in the wind on the mast.
Yes! It's the Dragon Banner! At this time, there will be no other warships flying the Qianguo Dragon Flag! Only "Thetis"!
It's him! He's back!
By this time, the dock was already full of people. Lu Yingyan squeezed forward with all her might, and the people around saw this Qianguo girl in dry clothes, realized anything, and gave way to her.
"'Thetis'!" Thetis'! Well done! β
"'Thetis'!" Thetis'! Long live the Qianguo people! β
There was cheering all around, but Lu Yingyan couldn't hear it, and she looked unblinkingly at the cruiser Thetis heading for the dock, which was exactly the same as she had seen in the newspaper photos, except that the hull paint seemed to have been washed off, revealing its true colors.
Soon, the "Thetis" dropped anchor, and Lu Yingyan saw a captain of Qianguo on the flybridge giving orders there, sailors waving flags, and the person who haunted him was standing beside Captain Qianguo.
No more doubts! What you see with your eyes and hear with your ears is true! And tens of thousands of people were present as Witnesses. Seeing the "Thetis" and "Agamemnon" safely and facelessly, many people hugged excitedly on the shore, and the citizens of Portsmouth cheered and applauded at the miracle.
Lu Yingyan, who was crying with joy, covered her mouth with her hands, and let the tears gush out of her eyes, flow through her fingers, and drip down.
The "Thetis" slowly docked, lowered the trestle, several Qianguo sailors carried several stretchers and walked down first, on the stretcher lay wounded sailors, a team of British sailors immediately ran forward, helped take the stretcher, and went straight to the military hospital.
Seeing the appearance of the Qianguo sailors, thunderous applause suddenly rang out on the dock.
When Lu Yingyan saw the injured Qianguo sailor, her heart tightened again. I forgot that just now, he was still standing on the flybridge.
Finally, Lin Yizhe's figure appeared, he walked down the trestle with a team of Qianguo officers, and when he saw Lin Yizhe appear, a group of British Royal Navy officers who had been waiting at the dock immediately greeted him.
At this moment, a figure rushed out of the crowd like a fly, pounced in front of Lin Yizhe, and hugged him tightly.
Lin Yizhe was stunned at first, and when he saw who the person in his arms was, he couldn't help but hug her tightly.
Lu Yingyan felt his thick and powerful arms hugging her, and the familiar smell of the sea breeze emanating from him, and her chest was as if it was about to burst. She hugged him tightly, as if she was afraid that if she let go, he would disappear from her eyes.
She closed her eyes, her cheek pressed against his chest, and she was willing to hug him like this forever until the earth was desolate. The surrounding British naval officers watched this scene quietly, as if they were also moved, and no one made a sound to disturb them.
At this moment, it was as if time had stopped.
"You're back......"
"Hmmm......"
"I miss you so much......"
"I miss you too......"
"Don't leave me...... Good no good? β¦β¦β
"Good ......"
The sea breeze blew, and the dark clouds over Portsmouth Harbour began to dissipate, revealing golden glow through the cracks in the clouds, reflecting the people on the pier and the ships moored at the berths, making Portsmouth Harbour look particularly beautiful at this time.
