258 Departure
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly. It was very suitable weather for fishing.
Mama Le came to Le Wanâs 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 arenât afraid of the sun. We canât compare to them. If we really stay out at sea for so long, weâll 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.
âI donât think thereâs a need to wrap it up so tightly, right?â
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 didnât 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.
âYou went out to sea on a luxury cruise ship, but they went fishing today and rented a fishermanâs fishing boat. The difference between the two is huge.â
âJust 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 waterâs 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.â
âIf thatâs the case, why did dad and the others want to rent a fishing boat?â Le Wan didnât understand.
Speaking of this, Mama Le was a little angry.
âItâs 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.â
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 Chairmanâs Committee.
However, the fishing boat had already been rented, so they couldnât waste it. Therefore, the rest of the people still went out to sea according to their original plan.
âThen why are you playing with them?â Le Wan asked curiously when she saw Mama Leâs angry face.
Mama Le was also helpless.
âI have no choice. I promised your dad that I would go fishing with him and he would go diving with me after the fishing.â
Well, this was the fun between a couple. She shouldnât 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 Leâs taste, so she probably bought it all at once.
Le Wan walked to Zhai Jingâs side listlessly. When she saw that Zhai Jing couldnât help but laugh, she pouted.
âI know I look like a fisherman now, but youâre not allowed to laugh at me.â
Zhai Jing cleared his throat.
âAlright, I wonât laugh.â
As soon as Le Wan raised her head, she saw the corners of his mouth curled up and his eyes shining.
âLiar! Youâre obviously laughing at me!â
Zhai Jing had no choice but to put on the light blue sunblock shirt and put on the beige long-brimmed hat.
âIâm almost the same as you now, so it doesnât matter if I smile or not.â
On purpose, Le Wan took two steps back and raised her head to look at him carefully. Suddenly, she was a little unhappy.
âWhy donât you find it strange when you wear it, but I do?â
âIâm probably taller.â It was also Zhai Jingâs first time wearing these sun-protection shirts. Without a mirror, he didnât know how he looked, so he could only make up stories to coax Le Wan.
âYeah, youâre tall, fair, and have delicate facial features. Youâll look good even if you put a Gunny sack over your head,â said Le Wan, feeling a little jealous.
âActually, youâre not dressed too badly. Itâs just that this red and green combination is too conspicuous, so itâs a little out of place.â
Le Wan suspected that this outfit was deliberately made up by Mama Le. Otherwise, why did everyone elseâs 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,
âCome, come, come, Iâll spray sunblock on you.â
