1245: Fainting in the Middle of the Sail

Fainting in the Middle of the Sail

The person who spoke was a young man who looked quite decent. As he talked, he looked down to buckle up his life jacket, not forgetting to boast, "My uncle used to be a famous yacht expert and joined some kind of yacht contest before—and won the first prize!"0

There was a pause from the young man before he blew his own trumpet even louder, "I went to stay with my uncle for some time during the summer break when I was 16 and he taught me how to drive a yacht. The maneuvering is quite easy. I could operate it and go off on my own after learning for a day!"

The young man's boastful tone was off putting.

Obviously, it was not the first time for Lin Huiyi and others who were with the young man to hear him talk big like this. 

As for the young man's ultimate purpose of laying it on thick, it was only to see surprise and astonishment on Yun Jian and Si Yi's expression. It was as if crowing and seeing the shock from the two of them could grow his ego.

The young man did not mean harm. He just wanted to see the surprise when others knew about his capability. It was too bad that he did not manage to see any bewilderment on Yun Jian and Si Yi's face. On the contrary, the both of them looked normal.

It was the young man himself who paused wearing his life jacket as he was flummoxed that the two of them were not dumbstruck like he had expected when they heard how cool he was.

Yun Jian and Si Yi put on the life jackets familiarly and buckled them up within seconds. It was not just the group of young people, even Master Hang was momentarily stunned by their ease of wearing the vests.

"Cough, cough… Get on the yacht after you've worn the life vests." Master Hang pulled on the docking rope purposely to alleviate the awkwardness in the atmosphere.

It was only then the young man winced and helped the others put on their life jackets while Yun Jian and Si Yi got up the yacht first. When Lin Huiyi, the young man and their friends got up, Yun Jian and Si Yi were already seated on one side of the yacht.

As the other youths came up, a guy beside the young man who had tried showing off his ability told him, "Yushu, you said that you've learned driving the yacht for the summer break. Ask Master Hang to let you drive it later!"

The young man who had been shooting his mouth off just now was Xiong Yushu. He had yearned to prove his capability since the beginning.

Now that another guy who was in his group played along with him, he immediately replied, "Heh, no, no. I've just learned it for one summer break but my uncle did compliment me on being good at it."

Xiong Yushu said and scratched his head.

Master Hang had then started the yacht and took the group to cruise around Zhou Island following the perimeter of its beach.

Zhou Island was ginormous. It would be impossible for one to finish going around the island in a day's tour, so spending some money below 100 yuan to take the yacht and cruise around the island was an excellent choice.

Yun Jian sat next to Si Yi as she enjoyed the thrill that was brought by the high speed of the yacht sailing across the sea with a squint. 

They had already made half a trip around Zhou Island by now.

It was then Master Hang who was steering the yacht suddenly held a hand over his chest. He felt a pang in his heart before his hands that were holding the wheel fell limp.

"Mas-Master Hang? What's wrong?!" Lin Huiyi was the first to react as she cried aloud seeing Master Hang who had been sailing passed out on the floor abruptly.
