After hearing the words of the American crew, the man who understood English began to tell them in Teochew. Immediately afterwards, several others took out the crumpled tickets from the pockets of their coarse cloth clothes and handed them to the American crew in turn.

The tall crew took the tickets and looked at them with critical eyes from time to time when they checked the tickets.

However, there was nothing wrong with the tickets of the several of them, and the crew members had to hand them to each other.

One by one, it was soon the turn of the short, thin man in the corner, but this man was obviously more nervous, and he frowned, and from time to time he squeezed into the corner, and his eyes still glanced at the approaching crew members.

"Hey, get your ticket out!" The tall crew member next to the bearded man spotted him, and he shouted loudly.

The short, thin man waved his arms constantly, as if he couldn't understand English. A taller Chinese next to him said to him loudly: "Check your ticket!" They want to check your ticket! ”

The short man glared at him, then began to rummage through his pockets. After a while, he spread his hands and twisted the muscles on his face, as if to tell the other party that he had not found it.

"This cunning fellow, if you don't buy a ticket, you have to pay double the price now, or we'll throw you into the sea!" A crew member said impatiently.

At this time, the thin man seemed to understand his words, and he hurriedly waved his arms to explain something to the other party. But the American sailors didn't want to listen to him, and they rushed over to pick up the emaciated Chinese man and take him away.

This scene added some fun to the boring journey, and many people gathered here to watch the excitement, and a few Japanese shouted loudly: "Quick, throw this pig into the sea!" ”

Huang Zhengzhong saw it and was about to step forward, but was stopped by the statement. He smiled and said, "I'd better go." ”

The statement walked over, and he was talking to some of the crew members over there, and at first the bearded crew member kept shaking his head, and then he took out the wallet in his pocket, and then pulled out some dollars from it and handed it to the crew, and the crew stopped shaking their heads, and gave the thin Chinese man a ticket.

The Chinese man was very grateful when he got the ticket in his hand, but he didn't say anything, and walked back after a few words of greeting him.

"How?" Huang Zhengzhong asked with a smile.

The statement shook the wallet in his hand and smiled: "Rely on this!" They said that even if they made up the ticket, they would send him away for investigation after arriving in the Philippines, so I simply gave him more money to forget about it. ”

"Haha, it seems that money has always been the belief of most people in human society." Huang Zhengzhong said with a smile.

The statement nodded, he put the wallet back in his pocket and said: "The terminal of this cruise ship will be transferred to the Philippines, and many locals in the United States will come here to return and return, I think that Chinese is also a worker." ”

"How about I invite you to have a drink with the money you gave today?" Huang Zhengzhong smiled.

The statement smiled, and he leaned over and said, "Be careful, there are a few people over there staring at us, and they look like Japanese." ”

Huang Zhengzhong smiled and said, "I didn't pay attention to those Japanese, but soon a person will come over who is staring at us." ”

Surprised, he turned his head to see that it was a young lady walking towards them. The lady was dressed very modernly, he was draped in a scarf, and he was also wearing glass stockings and a long skirt in this weather, and the sea breeze was together, and the long skirt flew with the wind, revealing the slender legs, which attracted the attention of many people.

The ladies would scold "" behind their backs, and the men listened to the swearing of the ladies around them while fantasizing about their posture with her*.

What did this woman do when she came here?

The statement couldn't help but be vigilant. But the girl smiled when she came over, and then said in a skillful Chinese dialect: "Hello two, do you mind if I come here to blow the sea breeze?" ”

Huang Zhengzhong made an apologetic gesture very American: "Of course you can, but I think you shouldn't need to blow the sea breeze now, maybe the heating in the cabin is more suitable for you!" ”

As he spoke, he swept his eyes up and down, signaling that the other party's clothing was a little cold at this time.

The lady smiled heartily, then generously stretched out her right hand and said, "Su Hui, I am studying in Los Angeles, USA." ”

Huang Zhengzhong also stretched out his right hand and shook hands gently: "Zhao Jingxing, studying in New York." ”

Then, the statement shook hands with him, and the statement was under his real name. After a brief pleasantry, Mr. Huang invited them to the cabin's café for a drink.

What Miss Su said was not false, she went back to Manila alone. The journey was long, and she naturally wanted to find a partner to send out the loneliness. It just so happened that Huang Zhengzhong entered her field of vision.

Huang Zhengzhong and the two dressed people who stated it knew at a glance that they were international students, they were well-dressed, and their speech and demeanor also revealed the appearance of upper-class people, plus he was not bad, he was generous, and he paid the fare for a first-class cabin for a person without even frowning, naturally he has a solid family background, and it is not a bad thing for such a person to make friends.

The three of them entered a small café on the upper floor of the cruise ship, chose a window seat and sat down, and then ordered a few cups of coffee and chatted.

The environment here is much better than the deck, not only is it very quiet, but there is also a beautiful symphony playing in the gramophone next to it, but the price here is not low, a few simple cups of coffee are dozens of times the usual.

"You know what? At first, I thought you were Japanese, but after hearing your conversation, I realized that you were also Chinese. Well, I have a partner along the way, and I was bored to death in the previous days. Did you know? Very few Chinese people on this ship take the first class, and even if they do, they are all bad old men, and most of the Chinese are engaged in heavy manual work in Manila or the United States as they have just done, so fare evasion is also a common thing. By the way, do you know how to play cards? ”

Su Hui picked up the coffee, gently stirred it with a spoon and said idlely.

Huang Zhengzhong and Shu Shu glanced at each other, both of them were surprised by the girl in front of them, it seemed that he regarded them as Chinese who went to the Philippines.

"Miss Su, our destination is Tokyo, I'm afraid we can't go all the way with you." The statement smiled.

Su Hui stuck out her head and asked in surprise, "Really?" What are you doing in Japan? Now the Chinese in Japan are under surveillance. ”

"Surveillance?" Huang Zhengzhong raised his eyebrows and said: "No, although there is a war between China and Japan, it will not restrict the contact of ordinary citizens, right?" ”

Su Hui leaned back and said quite proudly: "Actually, I have taken this route many times, but fortunately I am an American citizen, otherwise every time I am in the port of Tokyo, I will be interrogated and monitored." You don't know, those Japanese police officers will look at you with strange eyes. Just now you said Chinese and stood up for the Chinese, and now you must be noticed by those people. ”

"Oh?" Huang Zhengzhong smiled and said, "Then why are you still with us?" Aren't you afraid of any danger? ”

Su Hui laughed out loud when she heard this: "I went directly to Manila to get off the boat, what can those Japanese do to me?" Besides, I am an American citizen, the Philippines is the chassis of the United States, and little Japan does not dare to offend the British and American countries. ”

After she finished speaking, she made a small fist gesture, which made people feel cute and funny.

"Do you all think like that?" Huang Zhengzhong asked with a smile.

"We?" Su Hui asked puzzledly, "Who are you referring to?" ”

"I mean, do people around you think that the Japanese don't dare to fight the Philippines?" Huang Zhengzhong said.

Su Hui smiled: "That's natural, they are already struggling to fight with China now, if they provoke Britain and the United States again, won't their brains be broken?" ”

Speaking of this, Su Hui changed the topic and said, "By the way, how is the war between China and Japan going now?" Some time ago, when I was in the United States, I heard that Huang Ke of China had come to visit the United States, and at that time, our family had donated some money through the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce. ”

Huang Zhengzhong was about to tentatively ask her what she thought of Huang Ke and the war between China and Japan, but the topic of this lady soon turned to other aspects, and it seemed that most of the ladies had no interest in politics.

The time for small talk passed quickly, and it was noon in a short time. The three of them went to prepare something to eat, there was a special restaurant in the first class, which was a rich variety and nutritious buffet, and after Huang Zhengzhong took the plates, they went separately to get what they liked to eat.

Huang Zhengzhong eats a lot of food, although he is from a high-level and famous family, but he needs to earn his own living expenses for studying abroad, so he is not picky about eating, which will have an empty stomach, and the tender and juicy steak is naturally the best choice.

Before Huang Zhengzhong went to a steak making position, he told the chef his request, and the chef smiled slightly and began to process. The fragrant steak began to exude a fragrant aroma, and the greedy person drooled.

After a few minutes, the steak was ready. The chef in the top hat smiled and picked up the steak and prepared to put it on Huang Zhengzhong's plate, but a person came behind him, he put the plate on Huang Zhengzhong's plate, and said very arrogantly in Japanese: "Yaga, you! Go away! ”

Both Huang Zhengzhong and the chef were shocked by this person, and the chef kept explaining in English: "This gentleman arrived first, if you don't mind, I can fry another piece for you, the time is very fast, only a few minutes." ”

But the Japanese was unmoved, he saw that Huang Zhengzhong was unmoved, and simply pushed him with his hand.

Huang Zhengzhong smiled slightly and said, "Boy, take your claws away!" ”
