"Hey, boss, how are things on your end?"
"Old second, are you ready?"
As soon as Li Haochen got home, he called Chen He and Liu Dehui. The two buddies were already prepared and couldn't wait for this outdoor trip. How enchanting the romance of the wilderness was!
Liang Minfeng had also wanted to go, but his beloved wife was pregnant, so he had to postpone it for another time.
Not long after, Murong Yanran and Xie Baolian returned, carrying many bags. Judging by the logos on the bags, one could guess they were swimming gear.
Just as Li Haochen was about to examine them, his hand was suddenly hurt. Murong Yanran hid the bags behind her back, pouted, and ran off. As she reached the stairs, she turned and made a funny face, "You'll see tomorrow, hee hee!"
"Ugh, do you have to be so mysterious? It's just swimwear!"
The next morning, after breakfast, Murong Yanran and Xie Baolian ran back to their room. When they emerged, they were transformed. With wide-brimmed fishing hats, long-sleeved sun protection clothing, and pulling small suitcases, if they had been wearing uniforms and tied up their hair, they would have been perfect flight attendants.
The items weren't many, and Murong Yanran's Smart car could easily accommodate them.
They went to the market and bought some chicken wings, chicken feet, corn, chives, and eggplant. By the time they reached the dock, they bought four 12L bottles of Nongfu Spring from an outside store. They were quite expensive, 19.9 yuan, which could buy seven tons of tap water at home.
"Why buy so much water?"
"The freshwater on the island is deep in the mountains, very far away."
Arriving beside the Star, Chen He and the other three also arrived. They wore large backpacks, shorts, beach shoes, and sunglasses, quite fashionable.
"Did you forget anything? We don't stop midway, hehe!"
"Oh no, I forgot something important, wait for me." Chen He remembered something and was about to go out when Liu Dehui grabbed him and whispered in his ear, "Did you forget it? Don't worry, I've got enough, hehe!"
"You know me best, brother, hehe!"
Seeing their lewd expressions, Ruan Shanshan and Zhang Qianqian, who were beside them, could guess what they were thinking. They blushed and glared at the two men before boarding the Star.
"Prepare to set off."
"Ring ring ring..."
"Hello, not yet..."
"Wait a moment before setting sail. Zijun is coming too. She said she's almost here."
"Uh, didn't she say yesterday she wasn't going?"
"She's always like that, acting strangely, hehe!"
A few minutes later, Liu Zijun, who had just gotten out of the car, arrived running with a small suitcase. Her ample chest made people's blood pressure soar.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm late."
"Since everyone is here, let's set off."
"Beep~"
With a loud and long blast of the horn, the Star slowly sailed out, gradually picking up speed and cutting through the waves.
The sun was scorching. The five beauties naturally stayed in the lounge area of the lower deck, chatting away. Chen He and Liu Dehui, on the other hand, were circling the Star, their eyes shining.
"It's really nice. How cool would it be to take it out occasionally?"
"Old third, how many W?"
"Interested?"
"Of course. Taking my wife out to sea to fish and admire the moon would be so romantic, hehe!"
"I was lucky to get it for 120,000 yuan, and now it's 180,000. I can introduce you if you want."
"Uh... let's just hitch a ride, right boss."
"Yeah, save where we can, hehe!"
Ignoring these two, Li Haochen focused on steering the boat. The two watched him operate with great interest, nodding frequently, lost in self-admiration as if they understood everything.
Suddenly, Chen He burst into laughter, "Hahaha, so steering a boat is this simple! I can do it at a glance."
"Hmm... not bad, it's quite simple, similar to driving a car. Old third, let me have the wheel for a bit, hehe!"
After watching Li Haochen steer for a while, they felt that steering a boat was much simpler than driving a car. They kept clamoring for him to let them steer. To avoid being disturbed, he had to let them have a taste of being the captain. Of course, for their own safety, Li Haochen reduced the speed to 3 knots before daring to hand them the wheel.
As soon as Chen He got his hands on the wheel, his demeanor changed instantly. He gripped the Star with one hand, gazed into the distance, and had a commanding presence. Li Haochen, standing beside him, was sweating, but fortunately, nothing went wrong, and he only felt a bit dizzy, which was not a major issue.
However, when it was Liu Dehui's turn, Li Haochen almost wanted to grab him and throw him into the sea for a bath. This guy, perhaps due to playing too much on Mount Akina, started simulating gear shifts and acceleration with his feet in the air while driving. He then swung the steering wheel with his right hand and performed a 720-degree spin. The Star suddenly swerved, causing everyone on board to stumble. Fortunately, the speed was not high; if it had been over thirty knots, they probably would have lost teeth and broken noses.
Upon learning the truth, Zhang Qianqian thoroughly disciplined Liu Dehui, which made everyone burst into laughter. From then on, Li Haochen never dared to let them touch the wheel again. Ten lives were not a joke.
At three in the afternoon, a massive island appeared before them. Although it was early winter, the island was a riot of colors, with layers of green and golden hues, exuding a rich autumn aura, a breathtaking sight.
The five fairies were instantly captivated by the beautiful scenery. Their phones were constantly in use, but unfortunately, there was no signal; otherwise, they would have posted a caption every minute.
"We've arrived. Pack your belongings and prepare to disembark."
With that, Li Haochen opened the inflatable dinghy and installed the propeller.
The boat was small, so he didn't dare to carry too many people. Li Haochen first sent Chen He and Liu Dehui over, as it was a deserted island, and it would be much safer for the men to go ashore first.
It took five trips to transport all the people, equipment, tools, and supplies to the island. After dragging the dinghy to the top of the beach and securing it, they began setting up the tents.
Chen He and Liu Dehui exchanged a smile and picked up their tents, walking towards the distance. The places they chose to set up their tents were forty to fifty meters apart. It was for private space, of course, so it was better to keep them farther apart. Too close would be awkward during nighttime "music sessions." Although competition could lead to good results, it was not good to hurt feelings through mutual comparison.
The inflatable tents Li Haochen bought showed their advantages immediately, with the basic frame erected in just a few minutes. Since they were on the beach, he couldn't use stakes to secure them. Li Haochen had to go to the reef area to move some large rocks to serve as anchors. Indeed, the effect was much more reliable than stakes.
As soon as the tents were set up, the five fairies, who were organizing their luggage and food nearby, started rummaging through their bags to find their "dressing clothes." They all rushed into their tents, and immediately, various laughter and the rustling sound of clothes flying could be heard from inside. The scene was definitely...
Chen He and Liu Dehui, who had just finished setting up their tents, looked at Li Haochen's tent with envy. "Holy crap, old third, you're provoking us! You've got a suite for camping, while ours look like pigsties. We'll break our backs at night!"
"Don't worry, Zijun's 'Whiplash' can satisfy your needs, hahaha!"
As they spoke, the five beautiful women came out giggling, confident and graceful, exuding feminine beauty.
The sun was setting, casting a warm glow. The five women frolicked in the shallow water, their laughter filling the air. Heaven, earth, and man blended into one, a truly beautiful scene!
