Chapter 793 - 330: Relaxed, Comfortable, and Shy_4

Then, tiny raindrops genuinely started to fall from the sky.

Though it had been a sunny evening with a sunset, the rain came abruptly, not particularly heavy, but enough to disrupt the party.

Besides the electric steamer and some drink ingredients needing to be moved back to the kitchen, most things could be tidied up on the spot since the deck was waterproofed.

So, everyone began to work orderly once more.

After a short break, Chen Tiefeng also took two young sailors to check the engine room.

Li Younan saw Ren Xiaohuan intending to help Lu Zhiqing move things and took the electric steamer from her hand, saying, "You should go to rest early tonight."

Ren Xiaohuan blinked and tilted her head, saying, "No need."

"No need, really? What’s this?" Li Younan held up a finger.

"That’s one..."

"That’s a finger; see, you’re drunk."

Ren Xiaohuan paused for a moment, taking two or three seconds to realize, then frowned, saying, "Liar..."

But Li Younan ignored her, carrying the steamer away.

Liu Li pulled Ren Xiaohuan, saying, "I’m a bit dizzy myself; you must be feeling a bit tipsy, right? Come on, I’ll take you to your room to rest."

Li Younan helped Lu Zhiqing move the things and then received a call from Huang Xiaoyang.

As soon as he picked up the call, Huang Xiaoyang said irritably, "You’re planning a world tour and didn’t even invite me."

"Uh, I didn’t know you..."

"I’m not planning the wedding anymore; I want to elope." Huang Xiaoyang coldly interrupted Li Younan.

"Oh, so what’s the plan?"

"I’m coming to join you."

"But I’m already at sea."

"I’ll wait for you at the next port..."

"Isn’t this... kind of sudden?"

"Why, is there a problem?"

"Not exactly a problem," Li Younan looked a bit awkward, "but I don’t support idlers on my ship. What do you plan to do?"

"What do you think I’m not capable of doing?"

Li Younan thought for a moment, "Alright then, we’re heading south from the Zhoushan Archipelago. How about waiting in Guangdong to board; you can fly there and wait for us."

Huang Xiaoyang suddenly wanting to join was indeed unexpected, but it wouldn’t disrupt Li Younan’s pace.

Huang Xiaoyang, this guy, Li Younan knew well, was highly capable. Learning to be a helmsman or a communications officer in no time would be no problem.

With more manpower, everyone on the ship would have more rest time; pretty great.

Plus, with Huang Xiaoyang’s wife joining, there’d be another woman, making things more lively.

Thinking this, Li Younan chuckled. Although Huang Xiaoyang’s request was sudden, he didn’t think much and just agreed, truly a carefree world tour.

Thinking this, he walked to his room.

He opened the door; the light in the master bedroom was a soft night light, warm and dim.

By the window, a graceful silhouette stood silently, gazing at the dark sea outside, with soft light washing over her.

Liu Li seemed a bit more charming.

Li Younan snuck up from behind and hugged her tight.

But the next moment, he froze because the soft, fragrant body felt somewhat different from Liu Li’s usual self.

The person hugged clearly froze too, not daring to move, just said in a trembling voice without turning, "S-senior?"

Li Younan’s mind went blank, body turning rigid, not knowing how Jing Chaoyi slipped from his embrace.

Jing Chaoyi bowed her head low, muttering muddledly, "S-sorry."

Then she hurriedly slipped away.

Li Younan blinked. Sorry?

Shouldn’t I be the one apologizing?

Just then, noise came from the bathroom; Liu Li came out.

Her eyes were a bit hazy, obviously tipsy, tilting her head asking, "Hey, Li Younan, where’s Senior?"

Li Younan coughed, "She... she just went out."

"By the way, why is she wearing your clothes?"

Li Younan suddenly remembered, the reason he mistook her just now was because she was wearing Liu Li’s clothes.

"Earlier, while taking Xiaohuan back, I felt a bit unsteady, and Senior brought me up. I poured her a glass of sour lemon juice, spilled it on her clothes by mistake, so I let her wear my nightdress."

"Oh, I see." Li Younan shook his head, "How do you feel now?"

Liu Li giggled foolishly, "I feel so happy."

Li Younan sighed slightly; she was indeed drunk.

But he instantly thought of something: if Liu Li got drunk sharing a cup with Ren Xiaohuan, what about Jing Chaoyi, who drank two alone?

Suddenly, there was a clatter outside the door.

Li Younan rushed out and saw Jing Chaoyi had fallen.

She sat on the stairs, looking pitifully at her knee, which was red and bruised.

She was just frowning, but upon seeing Li Younan appear, her lips quivered, and she cried.
