Chapter 563: A Hint of Restlessness

Gu An didn't pester, speaking very considerately: "If it hurts, you should rest early."

I'll see you off tomorrow morning.

By the way, I'll drive the car away.

Wu An said, "When I return this time, I'll go buy you a car."

Gu Anran acknowledged.

They soon exchanged goodnights.

Wu An didn't put down his phone right away, still playing for a while, until it was 12 a. m.

Luck Value refreshed.

Opened the system, checked Luck Value.

Luck Value: 1558 (1222)

Holy shit!

Wu An immediately couldn't stay calm; if they did that, this would be the first time Luck Value broke into four digits.

Assuming a net is cast every two hours, in 24 hours you could cast about ten nets.

With everyone working nonstop, this amount of Luck Value could basically be used up.

So, the problem arises.

If Luck Value gets used up in two hours, then the catch from this net would be quite substantial.

The pressure immediately fell on the ship's crew.

We still don't have enough manpower.

Wu An was somewhat worried.

He is clearly just an ordinary person, yet he has a problem similar to those of ancient emperors.

We lack reliable people to use!

Among all the civil and military officials, who is one of our own?

Indeed, trustworthy people are always scarce, no matter the time.

Wu An sighed.

This also can't be rushed.

When he returns, he should call over the in-laws from his sister-in-law's side for a chat.

Mei Wu said this is simple; as long as he reveals his income, they'll surely come running to work on the ship.

Wu An didn't agree, not letting Mei Wu reveal his true income.

By then, if no workers are found, instead we'll attract a bunch of relatives looking to mooch, which would be troublesome.

Better let the sister-in-law say it, and also tell her to make clear that everyone working on the ship gets a 1% commission, without guaranteeing how much they'll earn.

They're all locals; they should understand the risks and rewards of going out to sea to fish.

The sister-in-law and those few cousins who aren't particularly capable stay home to work, or do jobs in the county and city.

Those cousins, as long as they can see the changes in Mei Wu and Mei Wen brothers, should not refuse.

If they feel close enough to discuss terms, he wouldn't agree to let such people work on the ship.

Wu An thought about this, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

These past few days without going to sea, he's gotten plenty of sleep, full of energy.

Plus, not being with Gu Anran, he's full of energy with nowhere to release it.

He tossed about for half a day.

Looking at his Nanjing phone, he saw that more than half an hour had passed, yet he still felt no sleepiness.

He turned over and sat up.

Forget about sleeping.

Get up and have fun.

He opened WeChat, sent a message to Gu Ran asking if she was asleep, and was surprised to see it showing she was typing.

"Not asleep?"

"No, how come you—"

"I'm coming to find you!"

After a while.

"Okay."

After seeing the message, Wu An quickly put on his jacket; after Mid-Autumn, it's autumn, and night temperatures drop considerably—without a jacket, the sea breeze easily gives you a cold.

He grabbed his car keys and headed out.

In the next-room house.

Wu Ping and Mei Yueqin were still awake; hearing the sound of the door opening and closing and the car starting, Wu Ping muttered, "Running out at this hour of night."

Mei Yueqin said, "Probably something came up; maybe he's going to look for Anran."

"I think he's just messing around."

"If he's messing around, that's fine—you can mess around with me later."

"I don't even know who said it couldn't be done just now."

"Now I can do it again."

"……"

Wu Ping stopped showing off.

……

Gu family.

Elder lady watched Gu Anran get dressed and said, "It's late at night, why are you still going out?"

Gu Anran said, "A An is going out to sea tomorrow, maybe for several days again."

"Let's find time to meet."

"Grandma, you don't need to wait for me, go to sleep first; I should be back soon."

Elder lady laughed and said, "Being with A An puts my mind at ease; it's fine if you don't come back."

Gu Anran blushed: "Grandma, what are you saying? I haven't even married over yet."

Grandma and grandchild chatted for a while, then outside there was the sound of a vehicle.

Gu Anran ran out the door with light steps.

Elder lady sat down, sighed, and although she said she was reassured, in her heart she felt more helpless.

The family situation is not good; they can't help Gu Anran at all.

So she neither dares nor can stop her.

Even deep down, Elder lady even hopes that Gu Anran will soon have Wu An's child.

That way, Gu Anran can marry over smoothly and securely.

Judging by Wu An's current performance, even if something happens in the future, if Gu Anran has a child, she will receive enough money to live comfortably for life.

For the Elder lady who has suffered all her life, her greatest hope is that Gu Anran won't have to worry about money.

Parents plan far ahead for their children.

……

Gu Anran got into the car.

The car drove out of the village, and Gu Anran said somewhat strangely, "How odd—you drive the car into the village, yet the dogs inside don't even bark."

Wu An smiled: "Maybe it's because I come often; the dogs inside are now familiar with me."

Gu Anran nodded: "Makes sense."

"Sometimes you're pretty doggish."

"Where are we going?"

Wu An said, "The weather tonight is nice; I'll take you to see the stars."

The seaside here is not bad either, and it's basically undeveloped; at night it's hardly visited.

Not to mention outsiders; even locals from Wuhan who aren't familiar wouldn't dare go there lightly.

Wu An dares to take Gu Anran there because the two of them basically don't need to get out of the car.

Park the car properly.

Open the sunroof.

The two lay down, and the sky full of stars came into view.

Gu Anran looked and said, "Really nice."

Wu An fidgeted: "It's quite good."

Gu Anran smacked his hand: "What happened to just looking at the stars?"

Wu An said, "In my eyes, you are that brightest star."

"So white."

"So big."

Gu Anran, embarrassed and angry: "Are you talking about the stars?"

Wu An hehehe: "It could also be the moon."

"……"

After all that fuss, late at night they still sweated a lot; Gu Anran didn't dare stay in the car and shouted for him to get out.

After Wu An got out of the car, the wind made him sneeze involuntarily.

He looked around, found traces of someone having a fire, and together with Gu Anran quickly gathered some branches.

Soon a campfire was lit.

Beach by the sea.

Sea breeze blowing over the water.

Night sky, stars glittering.

The two didn't do anything else, just leaned against each other to rest, feeling pretty good.

After tossing till late night, seeing they were both yawning nonstop, they reluctantly began to leave.

Returned home.

It used to be after three in the morning.

Although already tired and sleepy, I still washed up briefly before lying on the bed.

Soon fell asleep.
