C90 (1/2)
”It's alright. Just be honest for a while. It'll be fine after a while.”
”I'm still not being honest. I'm not moving at all.” Jane said nervously as she looked at Gu Chen.
”Why don't you sleep for a bit? Watch TV and play with your phone. The time will be over soon.”
”There's even a TV in here?” Jane said in surprise.
”Of course, it's wireless.” As he spoke, Gu Chen walked over and switched on the television.
”Wow, this is amazing. How did you know?”
”You think I'm that stupid?”
”Tsk, you're the stupid one.” Jane Chu rolled her eyes at Gu Chen and turned to watch the television.
Seeing that Jian Chen had calmed down, Gu Chen relaxed a lot.
Not long after, there was a sudden flash of lightning that lit up the entire area.
Shortly after, there was an especially loud thunder. Jane was startled, and the TV also lost its signal.
”Gu Chen, why did lightning strike?”
”I don't know either. It should be raining.” Gu Chen sat on the bed as he spoke.
At this moment, Jane was wrapped in a small blanket and was comfortably watching a television on her bed. This time, however, the television was gone.
”Sigh, it can't be that I'm really going to stay here tonight, right? This place is too scary.” Jane said helplessly.
”It doesn't matter even if we live here. We won't be in danger of our lives. ”Don't worry.”
The sky above the sea was still covered by dark clouds, and along with the sound of thunder and lightning, Jane was huddled up in her bed in fear.
Gu Chen stared at the terrified Jian Chen, his heart filled with trepidation. He had no idea what would happen in the next second at sea.
”Gu Chen, tell me, are we going to die here tonight?” Jane said, looking at Gu Chen with a frightened expression.
”Pei pei pei, no matter what you say, you can't think of any good things.”
”Then take a look at the situation outside. If I knew, I wouldn't have taken this cruise to see the scenery.” As soon as Jane finished her sentence, she started to cry in excitement.
Gu Chen looked at Jane Chu and began crying, feeling a little anxious.
”Don't cry, I'll think of a way now and see if someone can come find us, okay?”
As he spoke, Gu Chen got up, picked up the phone and made a call to the Sky Meteorological Department.
At this moment, Jane who was still curled up under the blanket, only dared to show her head. She watched as Gu Chen walked out with the phone in his hand, getting up and following him.
Because she did not dare to stay alone in this room, Jane was afraid of the weather outside.
Jane had secretly followed behind Gu Chen, who was currently walking down the boat.
Gu Chen entered the captain's room. The captain was currently sitting on a chair, sleeping soundly.
Gu Chen lightly knocked on the door. The captain trembled for a moment and got up from his chair. He then walked to the door and opened it for Gu Chen.
”Mister Fu …” The captain looked embarrassedly at Gu Chen as he spoke.
Gu Chen smiled as he looked at the captain, then said, ”I just called the Bureau of Meteorology. They said it's very likely that the weather will last until midnight. What do you think?”
The captain thought for a moment, then said, ”This kind of weather is like the weather we often go out to sea, it's very easy to encounter. However, during this kind of weather, we usually have to wait a bit, after all, it's safe.”
”Hmm — then it will stop raining soon. Let's leave.”
If this was a large cruise, then there was no need to talk about anything else. No matter how heavy the storm was, it could still travel. However, this was a small cruise, so if they encountered any strong wind or waves while walking, it was very likely that they would sink into the sea.
Jane was hiding behind them, but no one knew what they were talking about.
Gu Chen exchanged a few words with the captain, then turned around and was about to head back when he saw Jane looking in his direction.
Gu Chen thought for a moment and then pretended to be nervous. Frowning, he anxiously walked towards Jian Yuan.
”Jane, let me tell you, we can only stay here tonight, maybe — and we don't know what will happen at night at sea. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on to the cruise ship.” Gu Chen knitted his brows nervously as he spoke.
Upon hearing Gu Chen's words, Jane too tensed up. Jane's eyes glazed over as she mumbled to herself, ”It's over …” I won't die here, right? Even if I die here, it will be useless for anyone to know.
Gu Chen had not expected that Jane would be so afraid that she would turn into a corpse.
”Then... ”What does the captain say? Why don't we try walking forward? We can't stay here forever.” Jane said in panic.
”I asked the captain, but the captain said there was no other way. In this situation, it's impossible to get away.” Gu Chen looked at the nervous expression on Jane's face as he spoke.
”Then what should we do? We're going to die here.” As Jane spoke, she began to cry again.
Gu Chen had not expected Jane to be so agitated and was at a loss as to what to do.
”Aiya, I was just teasing you. The weather department said that it was fine, and the captain also said that he would often encounter weather like this. Don't cry, it's really fine.” Gu Chen anxiously looked at Jian Chu as he spoke.
