Chapter 407: Chapter 397: Next Stop, Xiangjiang

Inside the resting cabin.

“Wife dearest, I’ve finished showering! Requesting permission to enter the covers!” Gu Yu, having finished his ablutions, now stood by the bed, feigning innocence as he looked at Lin Xinyue who was lying on the bed watching TV.

“I! Do! Not! Approve!” Lin Xinyue quickly grabbed the blanket and wrapped herself up tightly, then muttered under her breath, “Even if you call ‘wife,’ it’s not happening…”

“Then where do I sleep!?” Gu Yu was dumbfounded, looking around the entire bedroom—there was only this one bed!

And because the space was so limited, there wasn’t even a sofa…

He surely couldn’t sleep on the floor, could he?

Looking at Lin Xinyue with a pitiful expression, he asked innocently, “So where do I sleep?”

“The lounge chair on the balcony, or the bathtub are both fine, of course, it’s up to you!” Lin Xinyue raised her eyebrows mischievously and said with a sly smile.

Gu Yu: “Please, wife dearest, this is the open sea. You wouldn’t want to see your fiancé turned into an ice pop tomorrow, would you?”

“By the way, why won’t you let sleep with you? We are already an old married couple, there shouldn’t be any need for propriety, right?”

Gu Yu blinked, earlier in the afternoon during their shower, they had even exchanged so knowledge on human anatomy!

How co now he wasn’t allowed to sleep with her!

Lin Xinyue’s face turned stern: “Because you’re the king of farts! I’m afraid you’ll stink out!”

Gu Yu: “…”

So that was the reason.

He quickly raised his hand, promising, “I assure you, I won’t fart anymore!” Then he added very seriously, “Unless I can’t help it.”

Lin Xinyue: “…”

What’s the difference between this promise and no promise at all? Don’t most people fart because they can’t help it?

Seeing her pouting and completely unwilling to agree, Gu Yu sighed, as if admitting defeat, and walked towards the balcony.

“Alas… Tonight, it’s just , the moonlight, and the chilly sea breeze…”

Gu Yu said sorrowfully.

Lin Xinyue watched as he acted like soone who had been heartlessly abandoned, and suddenly felt a bit of pity. So, she picked up another air-conditioning blanket to prepare for Gu Yu.

“Yu… you…”

“Alright, here I co!!”

Before she could finish speaking, a dark figure swiftly burrowed into her blanket. She didn’t have ti to react before Gu Yu wrapped his arms around her like an octopus.

“You!!!! Shaless! I didn’t agree to sleep with you!!”

Lin Xinyue shouted loudly, but Gu Yu acted as if he hadn’t heard, wriggling around in the bedding and taking the opportunity to tickle her.

“Giggling… you… ah, hahaha…”

Lin Xinyue was both annoyed and amused by his actions, and soon she lted completely.

“Hehehe.” Seeing that she had no energy left to fight back, Gu Yu popped his head out of the blanket, looking pleased as he gazed at Lin Xinyue’s flushed face: “Little lady, do you still want to compete with ?”

“You, cheater! I haven’t agreed…” Lin Xinyue bit her lip, her beautiful eyes glaring at Gu Yu as she kicked her legs trying to push him off.

But Gu Yu just caught her foot and started to tickle the soles of her feet.

“Hahahaha… stop it, stop it.”

Lin Xinyue felt like she could die from frustration, regretting why she had ever bothered with Gu Yu, this shaless pest.

“Do you agree or not? Do you? If you don’t, I’ll just keep tickling you!”

A smile played at the corners of Gu Yu’s mouth; he had a hundred ways to cure Lin Xinyue’s haughty pride.

This is what’s called: the courage of being loved!

“Hahaha, I agree, I agree! Haha, stop, you win!” Lin Xinyue couldn’t take it anymore and quickly begged for rcy.

Seeing Lin Xinyue finally plead for rcy, Gu Yu lay down forcefully next to her, but it had exhausted him too.

anwhile, Lin Xinyue leaned against the couch, heaving huge breaths of air, having almost laughed herself into suffocation just monts ago.

Watching Gu Yu lying beside her as if nothing had happened, she couldn’t get over her irritation and grabbed a pillow, smashing it into Gu Yu’s face.

“Ouch, what a great wife, giving her only pillow.”

Gu Yu imdiately sat up, clutched the pillow to his chest, then placed it behind his head, grinning cheekily at Lin Xinyue.

Lin Xinyue: “…”

She felt even more annoyed now.

“I’m so angry, I…” Without the pillow, she fumbled around, touching her phone and power bank before putting them down, unable to find anything else to hit Gu Yu with, she directly opened her mouth and bit towards Gu Yu’s arm, “I’m going to bite you to death!”

Gu Yu had already noticed her movents, and seeing her biting towards him, a mischievous smile flitted across his eyes. He flipped over to dodge Lin Xinyue’s bite and turned off the bedside lamp with his hand.

“Hehe, you dare to bite … I’m going to bite you back!”

On the other side, Dai Zhengguo, Old Deng, and Old Feng were huddled against the wall outside of Gu Yu’s cabin, like three little thieves.

Old Dai stood up, puzzled as he looked at his two old buddies: “Why has it gone quiet?”

Old Deng: “I don’t know? They were just laughing earlier, right?”

Old Feng, however, seed thoughtful: “This young lad Gu Yu isn’t up to it, huh? That was just ten minutes, wasn’t it? And to think he’s still so young, yet…”

“Indeed, back in my day, I used to count by the hour,” said Old Deng with mock seriousness, nodding his head.

Dai Zhengguo: “Nonsense, don’t think I don’t know you used to buy Viagra from the pharmacy near our school every day…”

Old Deng’s expression turned awkward: “You knew about that?”

The old n murmured outside Gu Yu’s door when suddenly there was a click from the neighboring cabin, as if soone was about to open the door.

Dai Zhengguo and the others quickly spun around and darted into their own rooms.

“Pfft, let’s sleep!” After closing his door, Dai Zhengguo sat on his bed and muttered to himself.

At the sa ti, he reached for the photo fra on his bedside table, which held a picture of a young man in doctoral robes and a woman who appeared to be in her mid-forties.

The backdrop of the photo was a vast desert, where one could vaguely make out a few mud huts and straw-thatched structures, with several dark-skinned people bending over at work beside them.

“Mr. Qin, I wonder how you are over there?” Dai Zhengguo stretched out his rough, bleached hand that had been washed with disinfectant, gently caressing the woman in the photograph.

The woman was all smiles, looking proudly at the young man.

And that young man was none other than Dai Zhengguo himself.

During the year he completed his doctorate, he went to Sudan in Africa under his teacher’s arrangent, which was where his teacher had been working for two years.

He was supposed to provide a year of humanitarian dical aid at the center with his teacher for the people of Sudan.

However, during the final sumr of that year, his teacher went out to provide dical care for so elderly locals who had difficulty moving in a remote area and never ca back.

The rescue team from the embassy searched for a whole month without finding any trace.

Later, he was repatriated back to his country… and since then, he had never seen his ntor again.

He didn’t even know if she was dead or alive…

This had beco a lifelong sorrow for him.

“Teacher, I’m about to reach your hotown, Xiangjiang…”

Dai Zhengguo looked at the marine navigation display on the door, which showed that there were two days left until they arrived at Xiangjiang Port.

Wiping away nearly dry tears, Dai Zhengguo turned off the light, and sighs from the old man could be heard intermittently in the darkness.
