With the gun in her hand, Lisa spun around in surprise when she heard Little Yichenâs voice coming from the loudspeaker. She raised her head to look at the loudspeaker, as Little Yichenâs excited voice said, âLisa, letâs go; Iâll take you home!â Upon hearing that, Lisa was filled with a sense of warmth. It was as if warm currents were surging within her!
Finally⦠Lines appeared on her icy face. The corners of her lips twitched a little, it was a feeling of genuine happiness!
The boy said, âWe can go home now!â Then he added, âLisa, come. Iâll take you home!â
He used the word âwe.â
He wanted to take her homeâ¦
It made her feel, somehow, that she had a home too!
âAlright, letâs go home!â she said.
Even though she knew that she was barely audible and Little Yichen could not hear her at all.
The yacht started up slowly and gradually sailed away from the harbor.
When Lisa saw the large group of people that had dashed towards the harbor, she immediately aimed at the spot where she had spread the gasoline. She fired a shot at the surface of the sea. With a loud âboomâ, the bullet ignited the gasoline, and a wall of fire immediately erupted in the vast sea, preventing the large group from approaching!
She then returned to the cabin and found her way to the cockpit. She saw Little Yichen holding the steering wheel, concentrating on keeping the boat on course.
She was a little surprised. âYou really know how to sail a yacht?â
âYes, Iâve done it before.â Other than the complicated fighter jets, tanks on land, yachts on the sea, and small helicopters in the air, he knew how to drive them all.
Lisa did not expect this little one to be so capable hence it was a surprise to her! She returned to the store and carefully counted the oil, food, and water reserves. She calculated that the food and mineral water reserves were enough to last them more than a month at sea. It was more than sufficient!
She handed some food and water to Yichen and told him, âEat something first and drink some water.â As she spoke, she pushed him to the side and took over the steering wheel from him.
The boy asked nervously, âDo you know how to sail a yacht?â
Lisa turned around and said disdainfully, âUnlike you.â
IL PII
âIâve even flown fighter jets.â As she said this, she hurried the boy, âHave something to eat first!â
âWhat about you? Have you eaten?â
âI have.â
Little Yichen then sat by the side and wolfed down the bread and mineral water.
He was so hungry that he did not care about his eating etiquette. He finished up every bit of the bread and water, even licking the bread crumbs off his fingers afterwards.
Lisa was aghast at his shocking table manners.
âAre you that hungry?â.
âWe canât waste it!â Licking his fingers, he asked curiously, âI wonder if thereâs enough food on the yacht!â
âDonât worry, a month is definitely not a problem.â
Little Yichen could not help but feel suspicious when he heard that. âAre you sure it was calculated based on my appetite?â
Lisa was speechless.
âI need to eat at least four loaves of bread a day! Thatâs the standard.â
âAre you a pig? How can you eat so much?â Lisa snorted again. âThere are lots of energy-dense biscuits on the ship, it will be enough for you.â
Little Yichen laughed bitterly. âFine! In order for us to last till the end, I just have to eat less!â
