Chapter 550: Meeting People from the Fishing Village at Sea

A Feng and the other man both have a massive capacity for alcohol; no matter how much they drink, they never get drunk!

Shi Youxuan asked them, "Why didn't anyone from the Fishing Village come to the wedding?"

The two men shook their heads.

A Feng asked, "Whose wedding?"

A Fan also indicated that he knew nothing about this matter at all, saying in surprise, "We didn't know about any letter; absolutely no one told us."

Sheng Hanyu said, "I sent an Invitation to the Fishing Village; the very first Invitation sent out was delivered to the Fishing Village."

The two men shook their heads in unison, both indicating that they truly did not know.

Moreover, it wasn't just them who didn't know; no one in the entire Fishing Village knew!

Since everyone was unaware, then who sent the coral?

Shi Youxuan still wanted to ask, but Sheng Hanyu wouldn't let her continue; he guessed that Yafei had received the letter but hadn't told the villagers.

The two men drank until the second half of the night before returning to the Ano Hao to leave.

……

Before dawn.

Wind and waves rose on the sea.

The wind and waves grew stronger and stronger, and one could feel the obvious tossing and turning inside the cabin.

Jian Yixin's face was deathly pale; she clutched her child tightly to her chest and asked her husband, "Husband, do you think the ship will capsize? I don't want to die; I want to grow old with you."

Sheng Zerong pulled his wife and child into his embrace: "Don't say such things on a ship; it's bad luck."

"Mm."

She stopped talking, but that didn't mean she was no longer afraid.

They didn't dare stay in the cabin, and upon coming out, they saw Shi Yucheng, whose face was equally deathly pale.

This was Shi Yucheng's second time taking a long-distance cruise; the first time was when he came here.

But when he came, the sea was calm and the waves were still, and nothing happened, yet this time they had run into wind and waves!

He was also afraid and worried.

But he wasn't worried about himself; he was worried about Shi Moli!

He felt that being able to live until now was already a bonus, but Moli was still young.

Shi Moli was the only bloodline capable of carrying on the Shi Family, and if... he didn't dare to think about it.

"Godfather, why are you sitting out here?" Jian Yixin asked.

"The wind and waves are so big outside, I couldn't stay in the cabin, so I came out to sit for a while."

"Mm, I'll sit with you for a while."

Sheng Zerong went to the cockpit to ask about the situation on the cruise ship, while the father and daughter sat in the corridor, chatting intermittently.

Shi Yucheng: "I brought a swim ring out; I'll put it on Moli..." Halfway through his sentence, he couldn't continue.

The inner circle of the swim ring was large enough for Moli to slip through easily, but if the wind and waves capsized the ship, Moli was too small to handle the swim ring at all.

But Jian Yixin didn't mock him, nor did she say, "That method of yours won't work."

She smiled tolerantly at her godfather and opened the child's bulky swaddling clothes—the child was wearing a life jacket.

It fit very well, and the material was also different from the life jackets on the cruise ship!

This life jacket was made by Jian Yixin herself for the child, using the most advanced international materials; the outer layer of fabric was sewn from bright green fluorescent cloth, which was very eye-catching and easy to be discovered.

Jian Yixin hesitated for a moment; although she felt it was bad luck, she thought it was better to say some things upfront: "Godfather, in case... I mean in case, you must promise me to take Moli to a safe place."

Shi Yucheng put the swim ring in his hand around Jian Yixin's neck: "Don't worry, I will definitely do my best to keep you and your son safe."

"No, no, no!"

Jian Yixin hurriedly took the swim ring off her neck and tried to put it on her godfather's neck: "You take the child and escape; I will protect you with my life."

Shi Yucheng grew anxious and stomped his feet, shouting: "Why are you such a stubborn child? I've already lived to this age; if you entrust Moli to me, how many years can I take care of him?"

"You are still young; only if he is with you can I be at ease..."

Jian Yixin was also so anxious that tears came out: "Do you think I don't want to live? But I can't swim; on land, I can protect him with my life, but in the water, I can't protect him at all..."

The two of them didn't mention anyone else, but instead entrusted the child to each other.

It was because both of them knew that at the most critical moment, only the two of them could give Moli a chance to survive, and they valued him more than anyone else did!

However, the two of them overlooked one point—no one else had come out of the cabins; it seemed that only they were in a panic.

The two argued endlessly, both wanting the other to take the child and escape, but neither could convince the other.

Sheng Zerong returned: "Go back to sleep; stop scaring yourselves here. The first mate said that such wind and waves are very common at sea and there won't be any danger."

Jian Yixin: ……

Shi Yucheng: ……

So the heartfelt "entrusting of the orphan" the two of them just had was all for nothing?

Seeing that the two were still standing there without moving, Sheng Zerong explained: "I've been out for this long; have you seen anyone else come out?"

No.

Indeed, no one.

Every cabin door was shut tight, and everyone was sleeping in their cabins.

For people who often drift at sea, such wind and waves are just a catalyst to improve sleep; drifting and rocking, they sleep even more soundly.

Only people who have never lived at sea would make a fuss, feeling like it's a matter of life and death at the slightest wind and wave.

Although Sheng Zerong brought back a sedative, the few of them still couldn't completely set their minds at ease.

None of them could sleep, so they chatted in the corridor until dawn, and only when the wind and waves calmed down were they relieved!

……

Daytime.

Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan were on the deck, being affectionate and lovey-dovey with each other.

Shi Yucheng came over and said to Sheng Hanyu, "Could you step aside for a moment? I have something I want to discuss with Xuanxuan in private."

"Alright, I'll go take a look over there." Sheng Hanyu stepped aside.

Shi Youxuan invited her father to sit opposite her and asked a Servant to brew hot tea and bring it over, but Shi Yucheng stopped her: "No need to go to the trouble, I won't drink any."

"Then go ahead and say it, what is it?" Seeing her father's serious expression, Shi Youxuan also sat up straight.

Shi Yucheng said, "Xuanxuan, I want to change Shi Moli's surname to Sheng. What do you think?"

Shi Youxuan:...

She didn't really feel anything about it.

It was just a bit unexpected, so she asked, "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

You have to know, back then, her father was extremely particular about what surname the child would have.

When Jian Yixin adopted Moli, Shi Yucheng put forward two conditions: first, the child must always have the surname Shi.

Second, the fact that he is Moli's grandfather must not be hidden.

Jian Yixin agreed to everything, but now he was going back on his word!

Shi Yucheng recounted what happened yesterday to his daughter, telling her that he changed his mind because he felt Jian Yixin's love for Moli was the love of a true mother for her child.

Therefore, he wanted the child to change his surname.

This way, when the child grows up, he won't have any doubts about his own background.

Shi Youxuan agreed; she had no objections.

"Good, since you have no objections, I will go tell..."

"Bang!"

A bomb exploded near the cruise ship, interrupting Shi Yucheng's words.

Following the sound of the explosion, several speedboats drove over from all directions and quickly surrounded the cruise ship.

"Go down quickly, it's dangerous on the deck, get to a safe place quickly."

The captain and several sailors rushed over to cover the two of them as they hurried into the ship's cabin.

Sheng Hanyu also rushed over, pulled his wife into his arms, and ran back.

"Dad, Dad is still behind."

Reminded by Shi Youxuan, Sheng Hanyu realized that leaving his father-in-law behind didn't seem quite right.

But he still didn't let go, forcibly pulling his wife to a safe area before preparing to head back!
