Chapter 14: The Shadow Coming Forward

At the dinner that day, the most eye-catching thing was probably the pair of Yan Shao and Elaino.

The only thing that can be compared to the two is the red-haired girl that Yan Shao once met. Even though she was wearing a very beautiful dark purple dress, she could not hide her wild charm, so people would often come out to ask her to dance throughout the dinner.

It's just that for some reason, she didn't promise any of them.

And from the mouth of others, Yan Shao learned that the red-haired girl turned out to be a Spaniard, and it seemed that she was born in a military family...

"It turned out that he came from a military family? It's no wonder..."

Glancing at Elaline beside him, Yan Shao could imagine how high the red-haired girl's force value should be.

This era did not have a lot of entertainment as in later generations, so many people enjoyed this kind of activity. However, after participating in several times in a row, Yan Shao and Elano were not interested. It seems that the two of them have the same idea, and the red-haired girl disappeared not long after the two disappeared from the dinner party...

In the final analysis, Yan Shao and Elaline are actually the more quiet ones, and for Yan Shao to have the strength to participate in those banquets, it is better to hold Elano on the deck to see the stars in the sky, and by the way, enhance their intimacy with each other.

However, Elano obviously didn't think so, and just when Yan Shao decided not to attend any more dinners, she took out an unfinished manuscript from her luggage.

"Let's work..."

Placing the manuscript on the table, Elano said to Yan Shao, who was still lying on the bed.

Seeing the manuscript, Yan Shao couldn't help but have a headache.

The manuscript was the one he had not completed before he left Marseille.

Originally, he thought that before arriving in New York, he would not need to work for the time being, but who knows...

"But there's no typewriter here..."

In order to extend his vacation for a longer period of time, Yan Shao struggled hard, but at this time, the corners of Elano's mouth were slightly upturned to reveal a charming smile. It's just that I don't know what Lu Dao is for, Yan Shao always feels that this smile is a little sinister...

"Don't worry, I've made an agreement with the captain while you sleep, and he's willing to lend us one of the ship's typewriters for free, on the condition that he show him the manuscript when it's finished..."

Elinor still knows Yan Shao's laziness very well, and it is precisely because she knows that Yan Shao will definitely oppose it, so she will run to discuss it with the captain while he is sleeping.

"No, it won't!"

Hearing Elano say this, Yan Shao wailed.

But Elaline didn't care about that, and just pulled out a pen.

"Alright, you can use this pen before the captain's typewriter arrives."

The manuscript was to be sent back to Marseille by cruise ship upon arrival in New York, and given the distance across an ocean, it was natural that the manuscript should be completed as soon as possible. What's more, supervising Yan Shao was originally part of her work.

Although after having a typewriter, Yan Shao didn't use a pen to write much.

However, in recent times, he has often signed with a fountain pen, so he is not slow.

It's just that if you don't use a pen for a long time, it will still be a little uncomfortable after all. Fortunately, it didn't take long for the captain to personally send the typewriter, which made Yan Shao breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing Yan Shao start working, after Elinor poured him a glass of juice, he also sat aside and looked down at the manuscript in his hand.

"Sister, let's put on a show again..."

Looking at the darts on the target, several children surrounded Katarina, including the little girl named Naya that Yan Shao had seen.

Although Caterina usually has a cold face, she seems to be very patient when dealing with these children.

He didn't say much, just raised his hand a few times, and the four darts had already formed a 'ten' shape at the bull's-eye, along with the previous one.

Not only did the children applaud at this scene, but even the smiling adults next to them opened their eyes wide. It is important to know that the distance between Caterina and the target at this time is much farther than the standard distance.

Those adults who often play darts stand at this distance, let alone throw a 'ten', and they don't even have the confidence to hit the bull's-eye.

But just as everyone around her gathered around to praise Katarina, she turned her gaze to the main deck below.

"I finally escaped..."

Standing at the bow of the boat and stretching, Yan Shao enjoyed the feeling of being blown by the sea breeze.

The last few days have been tormenting him to death, because he doesn't need to work after getting on the ship, at least until he arrives in New York. Who would have thought that after just a few days of rest, they would have to hold the typewriter code words again.

"I've decided that I'll never go back to the cabin until it gets dark..."

Clenching his fists, Yan Shao made up his mind.

At this time, Yan Shao didn't notice that on the deck of the upper floor, the red-haired girl he had met was looking at this side with several children. After seeing Yan Shao's appearance when he made up his mind, a smile flashed in Katarina's eyes.

At the same time, looking at the already empty position beside him, Elanon's face also showed a hint of helplessness.

"Forget it, let him relax today, and let him make up for the rest tomorrow..."

Saying that, Ileno refocused his attention on the manuscript, now that most of the translation work has been completed, as long as there are no problems on Yan Shao's side, Eleno is sure that the work will be completed before arriving in New York.

"In that case, I'm sure Uncle Tharis won't complain about anything..."

imagined that after he and Yan Shao left Marseille, Tharis was reprimanded by his father. Tuckling her long hair behind her ears, Elaline chuckled.

Didn't notice the gaze from the top of his head, after bringing himself a chair, Yan Shao and an old man he met at the dinner party not long ago played chessβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” he wanted to play chess or Go or something, but unfortunately these two kinds of chess except Elaline, the whole ship is afraid that everyone will be able to, and going back to find Elano is undoubtedly self-defeating, so he can only use chess.

Maybe it was boring, so a circle of people quickly gathered around to watch.

Immediately after that, Yan Shao, who was too stinky in chess, was thrown out of his position and became a bystander, but Yan Shao didn't care much about it, because his game was really stinky, and it was almost a one-sided slaughter after a few games of chess, so he felt that it was not bad to stand here now and watch others play.

While chatting with the people around him about current affairs, while watching the battle situation on the chessboard, the sky became dark in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that it was already dark, Yan Shao and a few others packed up the chessboard, and then walked in the direction of the cabin. At this time, no one noticed that a shadow was coming towards them...
