Chapter 122 - Complaints (1/2)
Su Min wanted to see if the ceiling could be opened.
Qin Mu Yin nodded and said: “Okay.”
The bed wasn’t soft, so the chair was rather steady when placed onto it.
As soon as Su Min got onto the chair, he could easily reach the ceiling. The ceiling was a little different to the ordinary ceilings at home.
He used his hand to touch it. It was pretty hard.
Qin Mu Yin asked: “Can you see anything? Is there anything inside?”
Xia He Yin looked up and said: “It doesn’t look like it can hold anything, and I also don’t see any gaps. Now I’m suspecting I might’ve been mistaken last night.”
As the two spoke, Su Min didn’t answer.
He continued to pat the surrounding areas. The sound coming from it was different. Like the scene you see on TV, there was a difference.
Su Min said: “There’s space behind here.”
Hearing him say that, Qin Mu Yin’s back went cold, “Then should we open it up and look inside? Could someone be hidden in there?”
Because they had disappeared without a trace, he even suspected that Tang Yishu or Song Nan Nan may be hidden in there.
Su Min said: “I can’t open it.”
It didn’t look like it was something that could be opened. The entrance probably wasn’t here. Like some vents, perhaps only the pipes passed through here.
He got off the chair and hopped off the bed, “For now we don’t know where the entrance is so it can’t be opened.”
Qin Mu Yin also got up and gave it a try.
“It really can’t be opened. Then where did the water come from?” He scratched his head, “There are no gaps here?”
Xia He Yin herself was also confused: “Just take it as me making a mistake. I don’t even know anymore. Could Nan Nan have been taken away by the person who was hitting her?”
She still wanted to hold onto some hope.
After all that crying and panic, all that was left was to hope and pray.
Su Ying said: “Don’t think too much into it. We’re currently on a ship so things like water is very normal.”
Though she actually wanted to say that it was very abnormal.
But the other party needed consolation the most right now. If she was startled or frightened and ended up getting hurt, the one who would suffer would be herself.
Su Ying wasn’t really a nine-year-old. As someone who is almost about to graduate junior high school, she knew what she should and should not say.
Not to mention, her brother was also here.
Su Ying felt that there was nothing to worry about!
Su Min who didn’t know that his sister is thinking this patted his hands and placed the chair onto the ground, “We won’t be able to reach a conclusion standing around like this. Let’s go upstairs. I still haven’t had breakfast yet.”
Regardless of what happened, they still needed to go on.
Xia He Yin wasn’t in the mood to eat but since he had already said that, she didn’t refuse.
Qin Mu Yin: “We still have time if we come back after breakfast. We can take our time searching later. It’ll also save us from getting found out.”
Su Ying also said: “Yeah, yeah. Let’s go have breakfast.”
There were already quite a few people upstairs. When they saw them, they smiled and asked about their wellbeing.
Su Ming politely answered their questions one by one.
The man in the buzzcut was very concerned about Qin Mu Yin and he even hooked his arm around his shoulder, “How did you sleep last night?”
Qin Mu Yin stammered: “I slept well…..slept well.”
He didn’t dare speak the truth.
The man with the buzzcut nodded, “That’s good but it’s important to sleep better. Don’t be too polite. Treat this place as your own home.”
Qin Mu Yin nodded and didn’t say anything.
How could they treat this place as their home? Two of their friends had disappeared. What kind of home would have something like this happening?
How could this ship be their home?
The man with the buzzcut didn’t think much of it. He turned and left after giving his greetings and re-joined the others.
The captain was still busy inside the kitchen.
The remaining four of them stood there in daze.
This continued until the captain came out with the congee.
Today’s congee was exactly the same as the one from yesterday; plain congee. Su Min however felt that it smelt more delicious compared to yesterdays, and he even saw a ghost appear.
The other party only flashed by and didn’t say anything. It just pointed to the pot of congee before disappearing.
Although he didn’t know the meaning behind it, it was probably a warning.
With Su Min’s ghost attracting tendencies, he felt that this guess of his was correct.
He thought about it seriously before bowing his head and saying to Su Ying: “Let’s also eat some this morning.”
Those on the deck also returned.
Seeing them joining in for breakfast, they were very pleased: “Don’t be too polite. The captain’s skill is very good. He used to be a chef.”
Su Min smiled, “Is that so?”
“If you don’t eat you will be hungry.” The short-haired woman looked at Su Ying, “You’re growing right now so you can’t go hungry.”
Su Ying timidly hid behind Su Min.
Because there were a lot of people, Qin Mu Yin and the others waited until later to get their share before leaving together.
Afterall, they still had some things they wanted to discuss.
After tasting some, Su Min felt that it wasn’t anything special.
