Chapter 286: Cheating
Sure enough, Thom, the sneaky tall second mate, walked into a mechanical house and gently closed the door—looking left and right before closing it.
Something bad must be being done!
I was in the bow of the ship, and no one usually goes there, so he didn't look this way at all. What is the secret of this tall and handsome guy? - I bumped into me.
I looked at the time, it was eleven o'clock in the morning, and there was still an hour to go to lunch, so what was he doing sneaking to that remote mechanical room?
Leave that alone...... Let's enjoy the stunning sea view in front of you.
I spread my hands and let the whirring sea breeze blow through my entire body. I continue to bask in the feeling of being one with the ocean.
……
Leaning against the iron railings, I slowly turned my head and saw that the door of the mechanical room had opened a little bit, and a woman had come out!
Oh, my God! At first, I thought it was the beautiful Shi Lifen, but when I looked closely, it turned out to be the older mechanical engineer, a very mature French woman with a lot of smell!
The female mechanical engineer stepped out, slammed the door shut, tidied up the corners of her clothes, and walked down the stairs beside her.
After a few minutes, the tall Thom opened the door as expected, walked out quickly, and crept to the other side of the passage.
They all say that the French are romantic, and they all say that the French like to cheat...... It's better to see than to hear!
But it's also ...... In such a long, dull and boring sea journey, the French people who are full of emotions always have to find their own different "romance".
I smiled and looked at the time, it was almost twelve o'clock. Damn, these two guys lingered in there for nearly an hour, and I stood guard for them at the bow of the boat for nearly an hour—alas, what a wretch.
It was almost lunchtime when I saw a couple of crew members walking towards the cafeteria.
I walked a few steps faster and followed them.
As soon as I entered, I saw that York was busy with cutlery in every position. The knives, forks and plates were neatly arranged - he was so attentive.
Only three or four crew members had come to eat first, and the large army had not yet arrived. The two cheating guys didn't show up either.
At the sight of me, York nodded enthusiastically, and then pointed to the spot by the window—specially reserved for me.
I sat down, and he immediately brought the food.
On board, I had my first lunch: a pre-dinner cocktail, a main course of conch slices, beef stewed carrots, chicken cutlets, butter-roasted baby potatoes, sautéed green beans and corn kernels, as well as a selection of butters, fruits, drinks and baguettes. Looking at the abundance of food on the table, my appetite was greatly increased, and I ate two full plates in one sitting—it was so refreshing!
As I ate, I thought to myself: these French guys really know how to enjoy themselves...... After going out for so long, more than 20 people, and the dishes are so rich every day, how many ingredients do you have to bring, and it is estimated that the ice storage in the kitchen is also full.
After eating the fruit, York brought me a chocolate ice cream, which was nothing, and before he was halfway through the ice cream, he took a lovely 250ml bottle of red wine and put it on my table, meaning to take it back to my room to drink.
Damn, that's too rich, isn't it...... If you can, let people live on this ship all year round, there will be no opinion.
When I was almost finished, the tall second mate walked in with the first mate Tony, and after two minutes, the female mechanic also walked into the restaurant with a few crew members and Shi Lifen, everyone was talking and laughing, and they were in a good mood. When York saw Siliffen, he immediately found her a window seat, but the girl didn't appreciate it and sat directly opposite the second mate, Tom.
They came in and saw me and immediately greeted me warmly.
"Hello money!" They shouted.
"Hello everyone......" I quickly replied in English. I thought to myself, everyone shouted "Money, hello" when they saw it - damn, when did I suddenly become money.
However, it is better to become a currency, and everyone loves it...... Hee-hee.
Just as I was thinking about it, the big fat captain came in, and as soon as he entered the door, he came to me, opened the bottle of wine on my table, and poured two glasses, to clink glasses with me.
It's really enthusiastic, and I like to drink at noon......
I smiled, clinked my glass with him, said a few words of blessing, and drank it in one gulp.
Captain Haysom seemed to like the bold way of drinking, and he gave a thumbs up, and then said to York, "I'm going to arrange a party tonight, and I'm going to have a special welcome ceremony for me."
I didn't refuse, and suddenly remembered what York said, they always like to find excuses and reasons to have all kinds of parties and have some fun for themselves - and it is!
Saying goodbye to the captain, I walked out of the dining room by myself.
It was a cloudless sunny day outside, and it was the best day to bask in the sun, and although I was a little sleepy, I decided to climb to the bridge and look out at the horizon to soak up the sun.
Colorful containers are neatly arranged in front of them, and they look even more vivid against the blue sea. When I came to the bridge, I saw a large island chain in the distance, which was very magnificent, a volcano of two or three thousand meters rose directly from the sea level, the top of the mountain was covered with layers of verdant green, and the majestic islands passed in front of me, and the cargo ships in the distance seemed so small in the reflection of the huge island, like a small fishing boat rising and falling at the foot of the mountain.
Suddenly, I saw a cargo ship moving in the opposite direction that was closer to us, passing by our ship, and I was so excited that I waved my hand desperately and roared again, whether I saw it on the other side or not.
Tired of shouting, I lay on the stiff iron plate, looking at the pure and beautiful sky, and felt an unprecedented sense of comfort and relief!
……
Suddenly, I saw York running up the stairs in excitement and shouting at me.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" I sat up.
"Come on, Brother Qian, come on!!" York's tone was urgent.
Thinking something unexpected had happened, I jumped up from the deck and ran over.
"Come and see! There are whales there!! York shouted.
I quickly rushed to him, and York quickly handed me a telescope and pointed into the distance. As soon as I looked, a column of water vapor erupted from the surface of the sea, followed by a black tail flicking out of the water - it was the first time I had seen a huge whale, and at that moment, I thought to myself, how nice it would be if I could ride on them and swim in the sea.
"Whales are so cute......" I said with a laugh.
"Aren't you on the ship all year round? Why are you so excited to see whales? I asked.
"Brother Qian, it's hard to encounter whales! These days, there are too many sharks and too few whales...... It's hard to see them...... Every time we see these large animals, we get excited and excited. York replied.
"Oh?" I picked up the binoculars again and looked at them for a while until all the whales disappeared from view.
"You're so lucky to see whales on your first day on the boat." York laughed.
"Really?" I glanced back at him.
