CHAPTER 1917: CHAPTER 905: BEFORE RETURNING, PART 2

As for what happened afterward, he seemed to never worry about it—he already greatly admired Yan Fei, and now he was utterly in awe. In his view, even if something unexpected happened, even if they lost the ship, as long as they stuck with the mighty Brother Fei, they’d be able to swim back home.

Over the years, he actually had changed quite a lot. It was just that he had known Yan Fei for so long, and he never intended to change the impression he had in Yan Fei’s eyes, so he still maintained that hippie demeanor—in reality, if he were his old self, he could never honestly sit on a rock, drinking red wine in the sea breeze. He’d probably be just like Xiaohe and the others, unable to sit still.

Occasionally looking up at Yan Fei and then at Wen Le, he found that Wen Le was also looking at him.

Seeing those guys only busy with their frolicking, Wen Le couldn’t help but ask, "Boss Yan, was it always like this before?"

The Fifth Young Master Guo thought for a moment before guessing what he wanted to ask, then shook his head after a careful recall, "It seems different now."

After a pause, probably organizing some words in his mind, he continued, "Our first meeting wasn’t so pleasant; at that time, he was like... like... have you seen Animal World? Back then, he was like a hunting tiger... mm, a young tiger type, just looking at him made people feel a sense of ’stay away.’

"And now?" Wen Le followed up.

"Now? Now he’s like a big tiger!" The Fifth Young Master Guo laughed heartily. "The big tiger in Animal World isn’t lazing around all day; even when hunting, it hides itself. Only when it finally sees its prey does it suddenly strike... Anyway, he’s like a monster level, always doing unexpected things. Why are you asking this?"

"It’s nothing!" Wen Le shook his head. "I’m just curious... there are quite a few people on that boat, and now looking at him, he seems to feel nothing. Isn’t it strange that he hasn’t thought there are people on it?"

"Hehe..."

The Fifth Young Master Guo’s chuckle made Wen Le feel uneasy all over, as if this chuckle had an unfriendly undertone towards him. Actually, he wasn’t wrong; The Fifth Young Master Guo indeed found it amusing in his heart, thinking, I won’t tell you that the small group that blackmailed the richest man disappeared without a trace just after my sister made a call to Brother Fei!

...

It wasn’t only Wen Le who thought a lot; Xiaoning, who was taking pictures, also thought quite a bit. Holding the camera and shooting carelessly, she occasionally cast a furtive glance at Yan Fei, sitting a short distance away against a rock.

Sometimes, taking advantage of Old Cui’s unawareness, she secretly took a photo this way.

...

Yan Fei was quite speechless, initially thinking the little girl would stop after a sneak shot or two. Who knew she’d keep going—without even changing his posture; was there any point in taking so many pictures?

Besides, he was quite interested in practicing French oral conversations with the little girl. The first time they practiced, he offended the little girl with his words, but in the following days, she forgot about it and practiced with him a few more times.

However, after the fishing boat incident, this girl, besides often looking at him, didn’t speak to him anymore!

Boss Yan wasn’t an idiot; at least he had a wife, and when he noticed the little girl would occasionally look away awkwardly and blush, he knew his oral practice session was over!

Not only did he not get to practice his vocabulary, but he also felt he needed to quickly finish what he planned to do and go home.

Once back, everyone would return to their own homes naturally and wouldn’t see each other again!

...

For the next two days, the yacht sailed endlessly on the sea and even circled Green Rock Island a few times.

Green Rock Island had been unlawfully occupied by Feilu Country for two years. When the yacht went over, they encountered several fishing boats a few times again. But just as everyone anticipated, when the yacht wandered around there, all those fishing boats did nothing; not to mention provocation, a few ships even ran away when they saw them from afar, fearing to be seized by them.

After running for two days, these people couldn’t persist and returned to the Zhongsha islands again.

At this point, everyone actually wanted to go back, firstly because the supplies on the ship weren’t much. Secondly, they realized that besides being able to inquire about news through the ship’s communication tools, they couldn’t actually do anything.

So that evening, everyone was somewhat in a pre-return home celebration mode, even if no one mentioned where to go first, but it was written all over everyone’s face!

"Old Guo, you’re something else!" Wen Le, with a dreamy gaze, grabbed The Fifth Young Master Guo. "Come on, they’re not drinking, let’s have another one..."

"Drink..." The Fifth Young Master Guo turned his head and looked at the ’battlefield,’ chuckling. "They can’t handle it, not only can’t handle liquor, but their heads can’t handle it either... Want to drink, drink with Brother Fei, hahaha... Don’t you know Brother Fei’s family brews wine, and he never gets drunk!"

At this moment, Xiaohe and the others were all lying down, as The Fifth Young Master Guo said, some guys not knowing any better dragged Yan Fei into drinking. Obviously, before they saw even a hint of drunkenness on Yan Fei’s face, they were out of it themselves.

The most miserable was Feng Ning, don’t know what she was thinking, she had been avoiding Yan Fei these past couple of days but today insisted on clinking glasses with Yan Fei a few times.

And so she too went down!

Only Wen Le, seeing things weren’t going well, grabbed The Fifth Young Master Guo to keep drinking, thus maintaining his standing posture by now. But The Fifth Young Master Guo wasn’t bad either. He came to The Fifth Young Master Guo after drinking for a while, purely looking to be wounded, now couldn’t tell if stars were in the sky or the sea!

"I can’t drink anymore, can’t drink anymore!" Wen Le stood up, staggering. "I... need to get them... to bed... Old Guo, you keep drinking, I’ll take them..."

Staggered to Feng Ning’s side, tried helping her up from the table but failed, and instead woke her. Xiaoning half-awake looked at him and pushed him in a daze, "No... I don’t want you to help me... I want Brother Yan Fei to help me..."

Wen Le, almost drunk himself, had no strength to resist, was pushed onto the table.

He didn’t get up, lying there, turned his head and looked at Yan Fei, who still held a wine glass seemingly lost in thought, and chuckled, "Brother Fei... Xiaoning wants you to help her! The little girl has grown up... has desires... go on..."

The Fifth Young Master Guo looked at Yan Fei without daring to make a sound; he remained relatively sober and knew how much Yan Fei cherished his wife.

Wen Le called a couple of times and saw that Yan Fei didn’t respond, so he stood up shakily.

He slapped his face hard a few times, glanced at Xiaoning still mumbling for Yan Fei, barely maintaining the last thread of clarity in his mind, "Brother Fei... It’s the first time the little girl felt moved... Just sacrifice yourself and fulfill this little wish of hers! After all... After all... After all, back home, she won’t see you again..."

Yan Fei sighed, looking at the group who were drunk and had no sense of direction, stood up and as he grabbed Xiaoning’s shoulder, the little girl clung on, "Yan Fei... brother, I knew... you’re the best..."

Without finishing her words, Yan Fei supported her as they walked inside. The little girl kept ranting drunkenly along the way, and Yan Fei just pretended not to hear. He helped her into the room, laid her on the bed, and as she clung again, he pressed her onto the bed, "Get some rest!"

Talking to himself, he ignored her ongoing calls, turned and left. Once he reached the door, hesitated and turned back, poured a glass of water at the bedside, turned and left, closing the door.

Coming out to where everyone was drunk, he saw Wen Le completely collapsed over the table, mumbling who knows what.

The Fifth Young Master Guo was beside him trying to assist him up, but clearly he had drank too much to have the strength.

Yan Fei simply picked him up and sent them all to their rooms.

As for The Fifth Young Master Guo, since he could still walk on his own, he went back to rest as well!

Once everyone was back in their rooms, Yan Fei stood outside each door, listening until he felt assured everyone inside was alright, then finally relaxed.

Washed his face, changed clothes, and then headed to the Dinosaur World!

There were still things to do tonight; after these two days, he had obtained most of the information he needed and could take action!
