C128 Rubbing the Boat and Hugging It

English communication was also one of the standard items for boarding a ship. Hai Xiaomin had passed the test, so her English level was naturally not too bad. Furthermore, after going abroad, many of the currency used in many places was in US dollars. She had already prepared for it, so she put some US dollars in her wallet.

"Please give me one. Thank you!"

After paying the money, the seller took the map and put his hands together to express his gratitude. Hai Xiaomin was flattered and quickly put her hands together and returned the salute.

Perhaps it was because Hai Xiaomin was kind, the seller kindly chatted with her for a bit more and found out that she only had a day's journey, so he especially recommended a few places worth going.

After expressing her gratitude, Hai Xiaomin said goodbye to the other party and walked to the other side of the island, where there was one of the docks to other islands.

She decided to go to a small island called Granite.

Because the distance between the island and the island was not far, the means of transportation on the water were mostly small boats or boats, and the pier was not large.

When Hai Xiaomin went over, she just saw a few mobile boats carrying passengers leaving. She heard from the merchants that during the peak of the tourism season, the boats on the island were relatively tight. In order to not end up in a situation where there were no boats to ride, she quickened her pace.

When she approached the small boat, through the dense tree shadows, she vaguely saw a person standing at the pier of the boat. It was a standard fluent English voice. "Hello! May I ask if this boat can go to Granite Island?"

Was it snatched away by someone?

A tall and handsome figure gradually appeared in front of him. There was also an old boatman.

Hai Xiaomin came out from behind the tree and appeared in front of the two at the same time.

The boatman looked at her and smiled apologetically, "Sorry, miss, you are late. The last boat was already taken by this gentleman."

Hai Xiaomin looked at the mister in surprise. In fact, Ling Yao was also quite surprised to meet him here.

The two of them looked at each other. Hai Xiaomin's bright and clean eyes were the first to show a smile. After that, Ling Yao's sexy lips also curled into a knowing smile.

Was it the last boat? Both of their thoughts fell on this point at the same time.

"May I ask where is the nearest dock?"

"Then I'll give this boat to her."

The voices of a man and a woman could be heard at almost the same time.

The old boatman looked at the man and then at the lady. His eyes were filled with great interest. He laughed and made a suggestion. "I think you two might as well go for a boat ride. What do you think? It just so happens that my boat can accommodate two guests at the same time. "

"Where are you going?" Ling Yao looked at Hai Xiaomin and asked in Mandarin.

"Grinth." She replied in English.

This way, everyone understood.

"What a coincidence, isn't it? Come, let's board the boat together!" The old boatman waved at the two of them happily.

A shiny black man's leather shoe stepped on the shaking bottom of the boat. When the boat stopped shaking, Ling Yao turned around and extended his hand to Hai Xiaomin.

He was not wearing a coat today, nor was he wearing a tie. He was wearing a white shirt with two buttons on his collar. He deliberately rolled up the cuff of the shirt. His lower body was paired with his well-ironed pants, which made him look casual and elegant.

After they boarded the boat, the old boatman held up the oar and slowly drove towards the sea.

The boat was equipped with an engine, but the old boatman said that he liked to row the boat slowly and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. Moreover, this place was not far from Grinth Island, so there was no need to rush.

Hai Xiaomin and the others did not rush them. There were companions on the boat and they chatted as they looked at the scenery. They did not feel that the time was too difficult.

"Why are you alone?" Hai Xiaomin sat on a wooden plank that was a block higher than the bottom of the boat and combed her hair that was messed up by the sea breeze.

"Aren't you the same?" Ling Yao sat side by side with her and answered casually. His slender arm was placed outside the boat and his fingers cut across the water, creating a series of tiny ripples. Soon, he was thrown behind the boat.

"Where is Mr. Jess? Where are the other bodyguards?" She had never seen Jess since she boarded the ship. It was unusual.

Ling Yao withdrew his arm. He relaxed and put it on the edge of the ship. "I'm on vacation. Shouldn't I give them a vacation as well?"

Hai Xiaomin smiled and gave him a thumbs up. "A boss who doesn't squeeze employees is a good boss!"

Looking at the young handsome men and beautiful women, the old boatman asked, "Are the two of you a couple?"

The two of them were stunned.

"No!" Hai Xiaomin immediately denied it.

"Does it look like it?" Ling Yao curled up one of his legs and calmly expressed his stance.

"Isn't it? But I see that the two of you are getting along very well!" The old boatman had a puzzled expression.

"What... Ah!" Hai Xiaomin had just finished speaking when the sound of the boat suddenly shook to the left and right. She was caught off guard and fell forward. As soon as her back left the hull, two arms immediately pulled back and wrapped around her.

The ship gradually calmed down.

"It's a deep reef. I forgot to remind you in advance." The old boatman explained without any panic on his face. Obviously, crossing the sea was a common occurrence.

Hai Xiaomin still had lingering fear in her heart and her face was pale after being frightened. She snuggled against the man's firm chest and was tightly hugged by him. Her heartbeat accelerated beside her ears and it was not clear whether it was his or her.

She did not realize that there was something wrong for a moment. Instead, the old boatman looked at them and revealed a manner that said, that's right. He smiled and said. "Look, this gentleman is so nervous about you. Not everyone can react in time to an accident. Unless he's been watching out for you from the beginning. "

Hai Xiaomin heard the sound and her head was hit by something soft. She looked up in surprise.

The panic in Ling Yao's eyes was instantly exposed. He quickly hid it and explained disapprovingly, "If there is anything to be careful about on the boat, you should be alert in advance."

“...” Oh, so it turned out that she did not have sufficient preparation before class?

As expected, what she saw just now was an illusion!

Just as she was about to sit up straight, the old boatman said again, "Miss, you'd better let your boyfriend hug you. We might run into some reefs in the future. I don't think you've brought a swimsuit with you."

Hai Xiaomin,... ""

"Let's hug then. If we let you rub the boat, we won't lose anything even if we did." A calm tone came from the top of his head.

... "" Hai Xiaomin was angry and funny. She clearly took advantage of him, but her mouth said that he was the one who was the one who was taken advantage of!

"How sweet ~" The old boatman's face was full of smiles, "A couple like you is most suitable to go to Granite Island."

The boatman had already tacitly agreed that the two of them were a couple. The two of them were too lazy to argue over such things.

"Why do you say so?" Ling Yao followed his words.

The old boatman was very talkative, so he told them about the origin of Granite Island. However, because it was a local legend, he felt that it was more convenient to speak in the local language.

"Then use your language!" Ling Yao replied calmly.

This time, Hai Xiaomin looked at him in a daze because she did not understand the language of this sentence. Instead, the old boatman smiled even more happily. He said a few words in his native language and Ling Yao answered fluently.

"You... know their language?" Hai Xiaomin was shocked.

Ling Yao nodded. "I studied on the boat for two days."

"Pfft! I only learned it for two days?!"1

"Otherwise, how long would I need to learn it for?" Ling Yao countered with a question as if it was a matter of course. There was not even a hint of a joke in his eyes!
