Si Yiyan brought Wen Xinya to the port of a town in Jin City, where fishing boats of various sizes, large and small, were docked. Many tourists wandered along the shores, buying seafood directly from the fishermen on board of the boats. The fishes were still alive and kicking, and the shellfish were all freshly caught. Wen Xinya watched in astonishment at the scene in front of her.

Wen Xinya excitedly said, “I didn’t know there was still a place like this in Jin City.”

Si Yiyan replied, “Not only are the seafood here fresh, but the fishermen also have their own recipe for cooking them which cannot be found anywhere else. The government is preparing to develop tourism at this location.”

“Let’s go and try the seafood here.” Wen Xinya was feeling hungry. She did not eat much of the snacks in the car earlier since she was saving her stomach for lunch.

“Okay!” Holding her hand, Si Yiyan led Wen Xinya to an old-looking but huge fishing boat by the port. He jumped on board the boat and held his hand out to Wen Xinya who was standing on the shore.

Wen Xinya looked at the hand in front of her—thin calluses covered it, and the ones on the thumb and index finger were slightly thicker. Her heart shrank a little. Only people who used guns often would have hands with thicker calluses on these positions.

Si Yiyan waved his hand and said, “Give me your hand! I’ll support you up to the boat since you are wearing high heels.”

Wen Xinya pulled back from being lost in thought and placed her hand on Si Yiyan’s. His palm was huge, almost wrapping her entire hand in it. It was also really dry and slightly hot. She felt as if her entire heart was heating up from being held by his hand.

With a tug, Si Yiyan pulled her up onto the boat. The boat started to rock and she staggered along with the swaying motion. Si Yiyan wrapped an arm around her waist and pressed her against his chest.

Wen Xinya subconsciously put up a struggle and took in a deep breath. The salty and humid air of the beach mixed with the stench of fish made her feel a little uncomfortable. After she greedily inhaled the fresh bamboo-like scent on his body, she felt better.

“Do you get seasick?” Si Yiyan thought of this question out of a sudden. He blamed himself in his heart for being so careless to forget such an important thing.

Wen Xinya pondered for a moment before saying, “I don’t think so. I won’t get seasick from riding a yacht.”

In her past life, she did not get seasick from riding yachts. However, she did not know if these types of boats would affect seasickness.

“That’s great! The sun is still pretty hot outside, let’s go into the cabin.” With a smile on his face, Si Yiyan slightly embraced Wen Xinya and supported her on the fishing boat.

“This is the first time I’m on a boat like this, it feels so new. It would be much better though if the boat didn’t rock so much!” The boat kept swaying from time to time and, it being her first time on something like this, Wen Xinya could not adapt to it. She could not stand steadily and had to lean on Si Yiyan, allowing him to embrace her.

“Since you just got on board, it will be a little hard to adapt. It will be better after a while!” Si Yiyan brought her into the cabin. Although the cabin was a little old, it was spick and span.

Wen Xinya sat on a stool beside the table in the cabin. Once her butt touched a solid surface, she felt much better than before. Whenever the boat rocked, she also felt much more secure.

“The seafood that the lady boss on this boat cooks is the best in this town,” Si Yiyan introduced the famous seafood place to Wen Xinya after they sat down.

Just then, the lady boss wearing a blue-printed cotton shirt came over with a warm smile and said, “Ninth Master, the dishes are ready. Should I serve them now?”
