109 people on the journey

  The floors of the sea-view balcony rooms are relatively high. It's great when it's calm, but once the wind and waves reach a certain level, it's terrifying.

  Fortunately, it was daytime and everyone could go ashore, so they all ran to the shore to take shelter, leaving almost no one on the cruise ship.

  It doesn't usually rain at this time of year, but the tourists were lucky and got strong winds, huge waves and heavy rain which cooled things down. The forecast said that the bad weather would only last a day and the boat would be anchored in a safe harbour.

  Chen Huaicheng didn't bring any warm clothes, only a waterproof windbreaker that was knee-length. Pang Hua brought a white Zhongshan suit specifically for taking good-looking photos, so this piece of clothing finally served its original function - keeping warm in the spring and autumn seasons. Then both of them wore plastic sandals on their feet, which were originally indoor slippers, and one person even held a large business umbrella, looking instantly rustic.

  Most locals were either at home or at work.

  While restaurants and cafes were mostly full of customers.

  Fortunately, the quality here is not much higher than elsewhere. The bad habit of Chinese people being loud and boisterous everywhere has not been met with disdain from locals or restaurant/shop owners. Especially the latter are well aware that when a group of people come in, chatting and talking, they will consume more, and if one person buys something, others will follow suit.

  It's rare that many local small business owners gave up their lunch break just to compete for the business of these tourists from a distant civilized ancient country.

  。

  Chen Haotian also couldn't help but buy two bottles of olive oil, then dried fish, caviar, cheese and so on, as well as some small trinkets.

  "In Europe, eating a lot of fish is related to religion." The single man showed the intelligence he should have. "Because of Christianity, now Catholicism, but not British Protestantism, there are many fasting rules. On these days, people cannot eat red pork and beef, they can only eat white fish, because at that time people thought fish was not meat. Da Vinci's 'The Last Supper' painting, Jesus and his disciples were eating bread and fish, fish soup, fried fish... For example, the Netherlands relied on selling herring during the fasting period to become rich."

  "Ah, and there's also smoked herring, a Viking invention. Ah, herring and dried herring replaced sardines, especially in Catholic countries." Chen Huasheng added casually. "The high-quality animal protein from sea fish made Europeans smarter."

  "Oh, no wonder you wanted to buy dried fish."

  "This is dried bonito. And caviar. Can be used for caviar spaghetti."

  "Never mind, I still like Mapo tofu. Chinese people don't just have animal protein, we also have soybean protein - we have tofu, which has been popular for longer than Christianity."

  "Haha, everyone in the world loves Mapo tofu!"

  “……”

  “……”

  Looking out the window. A woman with an unseen face, wearing a dark red medium-length dress, holding a sunflower-patterned umbrella, walking alone on the damp and narrow street - a lonely, story-filled single woman, perhaps not legally single, but definitely one in her heart, at least for now.

  "What are you looking at?" Pang Hua leaned over, almost face to face.

  "Just now, someone was holding a sunflower umbrella. I got the sample a few days ago and didn't bring it out because that umbrella is a long-handled one." Chen Xiao Cheng didn't even need to think about it, he just covered up the deepest feeling of being moved.

  "Have you started making new products again?" Pang Hua understood as soon as he heard it. "I was busy for a while and didn't notice the new goods. Is our warehouse not enough?"

  "Not decided yet"

  "If we add the recent ones, we'll have to change places."

  "Why don't we just import some more things? Like oil and wine."

  "It's too big, involving import and export... even if I quit my job, it would take several years to get started. And it must rely on some policies. It's impossible to do it alone. Sales and logistics are also a lot of trouble."

  "Oh, I was just saying. It's already good that we're making some essential oils."

  "Yes. At least I'm not doing that now... I plan to tell the director that I don't want to be an assistant anymore, just a lawyer on retainer. And social insurance is paid by myself."

  "Okay, at least I have a stable job, although the pay is not high, but food is not a problem, and we also have a place to live, so even if the company closes down, I'm not afraid."

  "Go! I'm a lawyer too!" She made a gesture of hitting him.

  ……

  The topic of their conversation was very serious, but because they spoke in a soft voice and made intimate gestures, outsiders thought they were a couple deeply in love - this was the behavior of a husband and wife who had known each other for many years when they were out together.

  "That classmate of yours, the female lawyer, doesn't look like a mother tiger or a female dinosaur at all." Although she can be intimidating at times, on many occasions she has quite a feminine demeanor.

  "Didn't you hear her say the word 'sick'?" Zuo Zhixuan replied lazily. "I still feel nauseous to this day."

  "Hmm, I'm still curious, it's like a person who just died, is still warm and soft?"

  Zuo Zhi Xuan stared at the person in front of him, speechless. "Could it be that because he's too perverted, even now there aren't any decent women who would look at this guy?" "I think you can use yourself as an experiment, first kill yourself, then let others try to see if you can stand up again."

  "Damn! How can you be so perverted!"

  "It was you who did so first."

  “……”

  The rain wouldn't stop for a while, but Chen Huai-sheng had already used up all the disinfectant wipes he brought out. He was prepared and always carried wet wipes with disinfectant properties on him, specifically to deal with the toilet seat covers that were messed up by those seemingly elegant ladies, especially in a crowded store full of men and women, where the small bathroom was doing a booming business... Of course, it was also filthy beyond recognition.

  。

  "Let's just go back. The boat is right there anyway, no need to wait for a ride."

  "Good." Originally, Pang Hua had planned to stay on shore for a night, but unexpectedly all the inns and hostels that were worth looking at were fully booked!

  The two of them and their companions said goodbye, everyone felt that staying any longer was too stifling, so they all paid the bill one after another, shouldered or carried the things they had bought, opened their umbrellas and left.

  Such weather is not suitable for diving and other entertainment activities. Theaters, cinemas, swimming pools, cafes, spas, card rooms and massage parlors are all packed, even mahjong tables are full.

  Chen Huaisheng went for a swim with a calm and peaceful mind, then took a shower and made tea on the small balcony.

  They sat on the balcony on this side, which was just backwind and backrain, sitting on their own waterproof cushions - she was really too brilliant - quietly admiring the seaside rain scene.

  Pang Hua also took a bath and changed into dry clothes. "Yesterday's clothes are all dry. The ventilation in this room is not bad, although it's a bit noisy."

  "Hmm," she put away his cushion and poured him another cup of tea, using the same cups provided on the boat.

  The temperature was slightly lower, and she wrapped a towel over her long-sleeved clothes.

  Two people leisurely drank tea, chatted and enjoyed the view.

  By the time they had digested most of what they ate and drank on the island, it was already dark. From this angle, the lights on the shore were not very bright, and the twinkling lights were not very visible; and on a cloudy and rainy day, you couldn't see the stars and moon, and the night scene really wasn't worth looking at.

  Slowly go to other floors to forage, especially because someone's drinking capacity is extremely poor, saving extra wine and water charges, so it feels great to not spend money everywhere!

  After eating and drinking, I went online to solve work problems, and then watched an old version of a 007 movie - along the way, I didn't meet any "bad friends", nor did anyone knock on my door casually - and then bought a bottle of honey wine back to the room, comfortably "enjoying" the legendary "honeymoon" trip.

  The boat was swaying and rocking all along, it was fine when lying down, but standing for a long time made me feel dizzy.

  Chen Haotian didn't fall asleep until midnight.

  The next day, I also got up late and lazily found some Chinese-style food. Actually, most people had just woken up at this time.

  No need to rush today, no need to gather early, the wind and rain have stopped, so people started their real vacation.

  The tour guide thoughtfully arranged for a vehicle near noon and led everyone away, after which the food costs on the boat naturally dropped sharply.

  Two people sat in a half-full bus, swaying along the fixed route, and also bought two local ethnic-style shirts and low-alcohol drinks at the shopping point. They refused to continue their journey and chose to spend time in the museum. As a result, they unexpectedly heard others talking about their gossip in the corner of the museum!

  "...if it weren't for the wealth of the Pang family, how could that lawyer possibly fawn on him and even give him face?"

  "Pang Hua didn't inherit the family factory, and domestically, factories that can survive for over ten years are rare, let alone twenty. He's more stable as a university teacher. As for his family - he has an average relationship with them... He actually looks pretty good, although not as handsome as me. Chen Xiao Sheng should still remember what he looked like in high school, so it's hard to bear the thought of that good-looking face becoming ugly... Otherwise, how could this mother tiger possibly get married?"

  Chen Hua Sheng raised an eyebrow, seeing the complacent look on someone's face beside him, and reached out to pinch his cheek hard. This guy, given a little bit of color and he starts dyeing the whole workshop!

  Pangwa took her hand and carefully left the range of possible eye contact with his companions while stroking his palm.

  "Hmm, you still quite like my appearance, so you never gave up." If it weren't for her, he would have lost all hope and confidence in restoring his looks long ago. He wouldn't know what he'd become this lifetime, at the very least, psychological problems were unavoidable.

  Outside the exit there is a large explanatory sign, tourists naturally don't understand Greek, but the English explanation in parallel is still recognizable by many people.

  Chen Haotian was very bored, so he sent his husband back to buy some small souvenirs from the entrance, and then explained the ancient relics while waiting.

  On one side, a middle-aged American couple was arguing over something. The man insisted on going back the way they came. What caught Chen Huicheng's attention was that they were talking about the same counterfeit product he wanted to buy.

  "My husband has also gone to buy some." Chen Xiao Cheng smiled at the helpless woman. "However, this cow head should be able to decorate my wardrobe."

  The middle-aged woman was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, "Right, wardrobe! This idea is too great."
