·Caught off guard

The figure in the darkness chuckled, "Why, you don't recognize me?"

Shang Junzhuo was even more shocked after hearing the other party's voice. She hurriedly stood up from the ground and walked forward quickly. The person in front of her under the moonlight was tall and tall. Who else could it be if it wasn't Bai Xiuzhi?

Shang Junzhuo thought she was deceived. She quickly rubbed her eyes and checked again before asking in shock, "You...why are you here?"

"Otherwise, where would I be?" Bai Xiuzhi laughed gently, "Didn't you say that you must go to sea once in your life? As the saying goes, if you listen to others' advice, you should have enough to eat. Wouldn't I just follow you?"

"But...but..." Shang Junzhuo was stunned. He grabbed Bai Xiuzhi's arm and asked, "When did you get on the ship? Why didn't I know? You...you couldn't have sneaked on board.

Bar?"

Bai Xiuzhi smiled and explained, "How is it possible? There are people coming and going on the boat, how can you not be discovered? I got on the boat before you, and I also greeted the captain, and he agreed before I stayed.

Come down."

Shang Junzhuo was even more surprised, "How could he agree?"

This journey is not only dangerous, but one more person will inevitably cost more food. Based on her understanding of the captain, he is a carefree man. How could he easily agree to keep Bai Xiuzhi?

Bai Xiuzhi said, "I paid the boat fee, and he agreed on his own."

I see.

Shang Junzhuo suddenly realized that Bai Xiuzhi must have been tricked by the captain.

But now that the matter has come to an end, it's too late to say anything. She sighed helplessly, "You really didn't discuss it with me."

Bai Xiuzhi said, "Is there anything to discuss? I was afraid you wouldn't agree, so I kept it secret from you. Now that the ship has sailed, you can't throw me off the ship even if you want to. Otherwise, how can I go back?"

No wonder the crew members all smiled so strangely when they saw her. It turned out that there was someone on board who came for her. These gossips must have thought too much...

Shang Junzhuo said, "Why are you acting like a child, looking forward to things without thinking about the future? Let me ask you, what about your studies at school?"

"I have already asked for leave from my husband," Bai Xiuzhi replied.

Shang Junzhuo asked again, "The life at sea is very hard, can you bear it?"

Bai Xiuzhi said, "You can bear it, there's nothing I can't stand."

"Can you and I be the same?" Shang Junzhuo simply didn't know what to say to him. He also blamed himself for being too talkative. Why did he mention that he should go to sea once in his lifetime?

Isn't this just a slap in the face?

But it was already late at night, and even if he wanted Bai Xiuzhi to go back, it was impossible.

She said a little irritably, "I'm really convinced by you. You didn't even say hello in advance. You caught me off guard. If something happens on this trip, how can I explain it to your family?"

Bai Xiuzhi smiled and said, "That's not what you said before. Didn't you keep saying that sea voyages are very safe? Don't be afraid even if there are pirates, there are still guns and ammunition on the wall..."

Shang Junzhuo rolled his eyes helplessly, "Just stay with me. I won't be responsible if something happens. Don't come to me to reason with you."

Bai Xiuzhi smiled and nodded, "Don't worry. Life and death matter, so I won't blame you."

Seeing the gentle smile on his face, Shang Junzhuo felt even more upset and turned his back to ignore him.

Bai Xiuzhi came over in vain, "I only know you on the boat. If you don't pay attention to me, then no one will pay attention to me."

Shang Junzhuo finally relented and turned to look at him and said, "Then if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me as soon as possible. Don't try to be tough, you know?"

Bai Xiuzhi nodded happily, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm neither seasick nor uncomfortable..."

Shang Junzhuo interrupted him rudely, "Where are you now? Wait until the ship enters the sea before you talk nonsense! Even an experienced seaman may not be able to bear it if there is really a storm, let alone you.

A person who has never worked as a coolie and only knows how to read, write and learn."

Bai Xiuzhi was a little unconvinced and said, "Don't underestimate me. Although I haven't suffered much, my health has always been very good."

Shang Junzhuo no longer wanted to tell him this. It was already like this anyway, and she could only take one step at a time. She asked helplessly, "Where were you hiding before?"

Bai Xiuzhi said, "The captain arranged a room for me. Although it is a little narrow, it is reasonably clean and has a round window. I have been staying in the room and eating my meals there."

Shang Junzhuo opened his mouth in shock, "The captain gave you a separate room?" She looked very surprised and asked in amazement, "How much did you, a silly boy, give him?"

Bai Xiuzhi whispered a number in her ear, which made Shang Junzhuo so angry that he almost kicked him from the deck into the sea.

Shang Junzhuo said angrily, "Even if you have too much money to spend, you can't be defeated like this? Do you know that I can't make so much money even after working so hard on the boat? You didn't even think about it.

You gave it to him without even a beating?"

Bai Xiuzhi said, "I'm going to bother people on the ship for so many days. I'm going to eat and live on other people's plates, so I should pay them more money."

Shang Junzhuo was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

Bai Xiuzhi looked up at the starry night sky. He gently took a breath of fresh air and said with emotion, "You are right. Watching stars on a moving boat makes the atmosphere really different."

Shang Junzhuo curled his lips, "What's this? Wait until the boat enters the sea and you'll see. That's the real beauty."

She sat cross-legged on the deck again and warned softly, "No matter what happens in the future, you can't hide it from me. You must tell me the truth. Do you understand? I can at least help you distinguish it and prevent you from being raped."

cheat."

Bai Xiuzhi said easily, "Okay!"

Shang Junzhuo shook his head, looking like there was nothing he could do.

The river reflected the night sky, and the cargo ship seemed to be walking among the stars. Shang Junzhuo was a little tired, so she simply lay down on the deck. She patted the place next to her and motioned for Bai Xiuzhi to lie down too.

Bai Xiuzhi was a little shy and sat a little further away from her.

Shang Junzhuo rolled her eyes and did not force it. She looked at the bright starry sky. Although she felt awkward because of Bai Xiuzhi's sudden appearance, a trace of joy emerged in her heart.

It was happiness from the bottom of her heart, which made her feel satisfied and excited.

Bai Xiuzhi asked, "Why are you laughing?"

"Ah?" Shang Junzhuo was stunned when asked, "Did I laugh?"

"Yes." Bai Xiuzhi nodded, "There is a smile on your face..."

Shang Junzhuo turned away awkwardly, "Who wouldn't be happy to see such a beautiful night sky? By the way..." she asked with concern, "Are you cold? The river breeze is very cold at night, please be careful when blowing it.

I have a cold. Did you bring some thick clothes when you went out this time?"

Bai Xiuzhi said, "I'm not cold at all, you don't have to worry."

Mentioning this, Shang Junzhuo couldn't help complaining, "You are serious. If you had discussed it with me in advance, I could also remind you that now... I don't know how prepared you are. If you miss this

If you are missing that one, where can you find it on the vast ocean?"

Bai Xiuzhi asked, "If I discuss it with you in advance, will you agree to come with me?"

Shang Junzhuo was startled.

yes……

Will she agree?
