Chapter 258 - 258 Departure
258 Departure
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly. It was very suitable weather for fishing.
Mama Le came to Le Wan’s room early in the morning and woke her up. After watching her wash up, she applied three thick layers of barrier cream and sunscreen on her.
These men have thick skin and aren’t afraid of the sun. We can’t compare to them. If we really stay out at sea for so long, we’ll lose a layer of skin when we wake up tomorrow.
After applying the sunblock, she even asked Le Wan to put on a sunblock shirt, a sunblock sleeve, and a long-brimmed hat.
Standing in front of the mirror, Le Wan felt that she was dressed like a fisherman who went out to sea to fish.
“I don’t think there’s a need to wrap it up so tightly, right?”
After all, she had just gone out to sea with Le Xuan and the others a few days ago. At that time, she had only simply put on some sunblock and even sunbathed on the deck for a while. She didn’t seem to have gotten any tan or red!
Mama Le was putting on her eyeliner in front of the mirror. She rolled her eyes when she heard that.
“You went out to sea on a luxury cruise ship, but they went fishing today and rented a fisherman’s fishing boat. The difference between the two is huge.”
“Just the height of a ship alone could make a huge difference. To facilitate fishing, the deck of the fishing boat is built much lower than the water’s surface. Under the direct sunlight of the summer, the water vapor on the water surface evaporates, and standing on the deck is stuffy and hot.”
“If that’s the case, why did dad and the others want to rent a fishing boat?” Le Wan didn’t understand.
Speaking of this, Mama Le was a little angry.
“It’s all because of your dad and your big brother. The two men actually made a bet and said that whoever could catch a rare fish would win. The winner can take an extra week off to play outside, while the loser has to complete the work for two people.”
For this reason, they specifically went to find local fishermen and rented their professional fishing boat. They also asked the fisherman to be a guide and let him drive the boat directly to the place where they could harvest rare fish, and the two of them would compete.
In the end, Big Brother Le lost in a game of rock, paper, and scissors after the game of cards last night and ended up in the opening Chairman’s Committee.
However, the fishing boat had already been rented, so they couldn’t waste it. Therefore, the rest of the people still went out to sea according to their original plan.
“Then why are you playing with them?” Le Wan asked curiously when she saw Mama Le’s angry face.
Mama Le was also helpless.
“I have no choice. I promised your dad that I would go fishing with him and he would go diving with me after the fishing.”
Well, this was the fun between a couple. She shouldn’t have spoken so much just now.
When the two of them finished packing up and came out, they saw Father Le, Second Brother Le, Zhai Jing, and the rest with long-brimmed hats, sun-protective shirts, and a towel to wipe their sweat.
Judging from the style, it was undoubtedly Mama Le’s taste, so she probably bought it all at once.
Le Wan walked to Zhai Jing’s side listlessly. When she saw that Zhai Jing couldn’t help but laugh, she pouted.
“I know I look like a fisherman now, but you’re not allowed to laugh at me.”
Zhai Jing cleared his throat.
“Alright, I won’t laugh.”
As soon as Le Wan raised her head, she saw the corners of his mouth curled up and his eyes shining.
“Liar! You’re obviously laughing at me!”
Zhai Jing had no choice but to put on the light blue sunblock shirt and put on the beige long-brimmed hat.
“I’m almost the same as you now, so it doesn’t matter if I smile or not.”
On purpose, Le Wan took two steps back and raised her head to look at him carefully. Suddenly, she was a little unhappy.
“Why don’t you find it strange when you wear it, but I do?”
“I’m probably taller.” It was also Zhai Jing’s first time wearing these sun-protection shirts. Without a mirror, he didn’t know how he looked, so he could only make up stories to coax Le Wan.
“Yeah, you’re tall, fair, and have delicate facial features. You’ll look good even if you put a Gunny sack over your head,” said Le Wan, feeling a little jealous.
“Actually, you’re not dressed too badly. It’s just that this red and green combination is too conspicuous, so it’s a little out of place.”
Le Wan suspected that this outfit was deliberately made up by Mama Le. Otherwise, why did everyone else’s outfit look normal, but hers looked weird?
However, it was just a piece of clothing after all. Le Wan was embarrassed for a moment and quickly pretended that it was nothing. He happily took out a large bottle of sunblock spray from his bag and said,
“Come, come, come, I’ll spray sunblock on you.”
