Chapter 1298 (1/2)
The three of Li Qing boarded the ship at 11:30 p.m. on March 17.
There was a light rain in the sky, and the air seemed to smell moist.
In this weather, it's a waste of energy to hold an umbrella, but if you don't hold an umbrella, your clothes will stick to your body, which is quite uncomfortable.
When Li Qing heard the sound of opening the umbrella behind him, he turned his head and saw that fan Huilan had played an old dark gray waterproof cloth umbrella.
Fang Yong shrugged his shoulders and said, ”I thought it was the fog on the sea.”
Li Qing said: ”the weather is so bad that the fog in the middle of the night will be more uncomfortable than rain.”
While several people were talking, a group of people in front came towards Li Qing, and the two sides met on the deck.
”Long time no see, Mr. Li.” the inch headed man opened his mouth and exposed two rows of neat and white teeth in the gloomy night.
Li Qing looked through the hazy night and stared at the young man in front of him. She couldn't help but wonder: ”Jiang Yu?”
He really didn't expect that the capable general brought by Zhong Ruoxi from the Security Department of Yanjing military headquarters all the way would appear on the ship. The last and only time I met him was when Zhong Ruoxi returned to Hong Kong for the second time. He drove himself to the inspector general's residence.
”Well, I didn't expect you to remember me. I'm flattered.” Jiang Yu said with a smile and chewed his gum. ”Bell hall asked me to escort this operation.”
Li Qing looked slightly moved: ”Xie Hongbo didn't tell me about you before.”
”I'm on the ship. He doesn't know. It's estimated that director Zhong is worried about your safety, so he secretly sent me to protect your personal safety.”
Li Qing gently pulled at the corners of her mouth and immediately said with a smile, ”please protect me.”
”Hehe, don't worry. I'll take care of the whole journey. It happens that I've been a marine before, and it's no problem to deal with navigation.” Jiang Yu nodded with a smile. ”Just go to the cabin and have a rest. Just leave everything outside to me. I know that Master Li is not familiar with navigation. The only voyage turned over.”
At this point, Jiang Yu shrugged his shoulders slightly, and a joke appeared in the bottom of his eyes.
”I really don't know much. In order to avoid the ship overturning again, I'd better leave it to you.” Li Qing nodded with a smile and waved to Fang Yong and fan Huilan, ”let's go to the cabin.”
The voice fell. Li Qingjing wiped away from Jiang Yu, crossed the deck and went to the cabin. Fang Yong followed him and shouted, ”this boy is too crazy. Obviously, he doesn't pay attention to you, brother Qing.”
”What if you don't pay attention to it? Since someone takes the initiative to work, we are happy.” Li Qing said with a relaxed face, ”and according to my observation, this Jiang Yu is by no means a fool. Don't think of him too simply.”
Fang Yong then asked, ”he just said that the boat capsized on your only voyage, brother Qing?”
”Oh, what he said was that I sailed away from home when I was 17 and encountered wind and waves on the sea.” Li Qing replied carelessly, ”people like him, who are in the confidential part, naturally know a lot about the resume of dangerous elements like me. It's no surprise.”
”Oh, that's what happened.”
Li Qing gently blinked and turned her head to see fan Huilan: ”sister fan, aren't you seasick?”
Fan Huilan replied faintly, ”I'm not dizzy.”
”Well, I'm relieved.”
The three got off the cabin and, under the guidance of a crew member, entered the lounge.
Li Qing yawned, sat down in his chair and asked the crew, ”do you have coffee?”
”Ah, yes, wait a minute.” the crew answered, turned and went out.
Fang Yong looked around, also stood up and left the lounge behind the crew: ”I'll make it convenient.”
Fan Huilan took out a small handkerchief from her arms, patiently wiped the water drops on the surface of the small suitcase she carried with her, and then put it at her feet.
After doing this, she lay on the bed with her clothes and slowly closed her eyes, as if she was going to take a nap.
After a while, the crew member who had just gone out came back and brought in three cups of steaming coffee.
He put the coffee cup in front of Li Qing and said with some embarrassment, ”it's only instant. Make do with it.”
”Already very good, thank you.” Li Qing smiled and nodded, holding the coffee cup in his hand, feeling a trace of warmth rising from his fingertips and slowly seeping into his limbs and bones.
The crew received the tray, turned and left, and the rest room fell into silence again.
Li Qing took a sip of coffee and quietly looked at fan Huilan who was sleeping in bed. The dim light hit her cheek full of vicissitudes, which looked quiet and serene.
”Her eyelashes are really long...” Li Qing thought quietly under her heart and gently looked away.
Li Qing's cup of coffee was at the end, and the other two cups of coffee that had not been moved were no longer hot. Fang Yong walked back to the lounge.
