Wei Yu, one year after graduating from college, came to the coast from the inland. He stood at the port smelling the salty sea breeze, and in front of him was a huge white cruise ship.
This is Wei Yu's first time to take a boat in his life. His hometown is in the inland. The only river can't get a boat because it is a drinking water area. After more than 20 years of life, he can finally make up for his regret. Because of this trip, he has countless dreams about the sea.
The cruise ship is much larger than he imagined, and looks beautiful from a distance. A little closer, there is a strange sense of oppression. Is this the suffocation of the steel monster?
"Oh, my god, it can't be this one."
Wei Yu holds an invitation letter in his hand and confirms it again. The cover of the invitation letter is very simple. There are only three characters of the invitation letter and a gilded Su character on the cover. After opening it, it reads:
Dear Wei Yu
My classmates have been having fun and suffering for several years. This time, I will let my students be wayward and invite them to hold a class reunion on the Mobidick. At that time, we will prepare some clothes to change. We will stay on the ship for seven days.
Inviter: Su Xing
Moby Dick? Isn't that the name of the beluga whale? It feels very unlucky. It won't sink.
The invitation letter probably refers to the white cruise ship in front of us. A red carpet was paved at the entrance of the ship. Tourists were queuing up to board the ship. Wei Yu saw several familiar people among the tourists, because it was difficult to jump in the queue to say hello.
Next to the red carpet stood two staff members who looked like bodyguards in black suits and dark glasses. They could feel the sharp eyes through the dark glasses. Now the ticket checking staff are so strange that they are not allowed to enter?
"Well, hello, I was invited." Wei Yu handed the invitation letter to one of the people. The person looked at the invitation letter, and then took the mobile phone in his hand to scan the barcode on the invitation letter. Then the staff looked at Wei Yu and confirmed that it was correct, and returned the invitation letter to me.
"Welcome, the young master is already on the ship. Do you want us to help you with your luggage?" The staff bowed to me, very respectful.
a young master? Is this your servant? I know Su Xing's family is very rich, but even his servants are. How rich the family is.
"Oh, no, I still have the strength." Wei Yu accepted the invitation, dragged a small suitcase, simply passed the security check, walked on the red carpet, and got on the cruise.
"Wei Yu, here we are. What are you laughing about?" A male voice interrupted Wei Yu's fantasy about the life of the young master. It was Su Xing who invited him to the cruise ship.
"So you are the eldest son of a rich family. I always thought that your family was simply rich. Now it seems that it should be a family business, and the family background is very rich." Wei Yu and Su Xing have a good relationship, and they don't have too much scruple in getting along with him.
Su Xing is not very handsome, probably because of his family background. His behavior is full of the temperament of higher education. He is very popular in class and even in grade, both men and women.
"No, it's just doing some foreign business at home. It's not as exaggerated as you said. I'm surprised that the word" Yin Shi "came out from you, Wei Yu." Su Xing's mouth curved a little and smiled.
I really envy the rich and nice people in my family. Several classmates came here after another, Su Xing patted me on the shoulder and said, "You can put your luggage in your room first. The boy's room is on the second floor. You can get the room card when you get on the ship. There are many names written on the door. There are a lot of tourists coming these days, but there are not enough service staff. Then I will talk to you in a concentrated way, and I will go to greet others first."
"OK, today you are the master, and you have to work hard for a while." Wei Yu dragged his luggage to the second floor.
"By the way, the restaurant is offering dessert now," Su Xing said.
"Received!"
Su Xing remembers Wei Yu's love of sweets. He remembers everyone's interests in the class, what he likes to eat and what he hates. Sometimes Wei Yu thinks that this person is terrible. He knows his own preferences. Fortunately, their friends.
On the second floor, there are about ten rooms on the left side of the accommodation area on the whole floor. The corridor is pasted with beige wallpaper, mahogany waist line, and very soft brown carpet on the feet. The soft light makes the entire corridor very quiet.
The name was written on the door plate. Wei Yu's eyes fell ill because of an accident. Even with glasses, he had to be very close to see the name on the Chu door plate.
"Why isn't the room number written on the room card?"
Fortunately, I'm alone in the corridor. Otherwise, in the eyes of others, I might look like a pervert peeping into the room.
"Deng Chuan and Yang Ming, this is the room Bao Miao and He Hong." Wei Yu looked at the name on the door plate, and when he looked at the third door, he smelled a fragrance, like the smell of osmanthus.
"What are you doing?" A female voice came from behind Wei Yu.
It's over. I'm regarded as a pervert.
"No, my eyes are not good, just looking for my room." He turned to the girl behind him and tried to explain.
When I looked at the girl, my heart was hanging down and I knew her.
"What is it? It's Xinyi. Who do I think it is?" Xinyi is one of the few female college students Wei Yu is familiar with. She is not tall. She is over one meter six, and is pretty. But the only bad thing is that her dress style is as simple as that of boys. Since I knew her, I have never seen her wear skirts or girlish clothes.
"Why? Are you afraid of being considered abnormal? It's OK. This floor is occupied by boys. Even if they see your behavior, most people will only smile." Xinyi patted me on the shoulder, his eyes bent into crescents, and his eyes flashed.
"Help me see where my room is?" Wei Yu gives her a white look and continues to look at the next door.
Xinyi pointed to the corner in front and said, "I came early. I have found out the man. Your room is there."
"If you say your eyes are not good, it will be solved by changing a pair of glasses." Xinyi said while leading the way.
"It's not a matter of degree. My eyes fell a few years ago, and occasionally my vision is blurred."
Wei Yu suffered a serious eye injury four years ago. He almost went blind at that time. Luckily, he was on holiday at that time. He recovered well after a rest holiday, otherwise he would not be able to register for school.
"Ouch." At the corner, Xinyi bumped into a person, who looked at Xinyi expressionless, and Xinyi bowed his head and apologized.
The man had a westerner's face, red hair, blue eyes and a high nose. His black windbreaker wrapped his massive body tightly. Wei Yu immediately pulled Xin Yi behind him.
"Sorry, my classmate bumped into you because he led me. It's all my fault." Wei Yu bowed his head and apologized.
The westerner touched the back of his head, shook his hand, and said in fluent Chinese, "Nothing. It's me who should apologize. I didn't notice your existence."
The man handed Wei Yu a business card and said, "If the lady I bumped doesn't feel well, just call me. I'm the ship's doctor. I have to go first. Sorry again."
After receiving the business card, the western ship doctor went on the deck. The business card was not paper, it was like some kind of metal card, with only one name and one room number written on it.
"Abram, - F3-2."
"Why does a foreigner write his name in Chinese on his business card? It's transliteration. Why don't you give him a Chinese name? There are only one, and the Chinese language is too precise." Xinyi looked at the business card and said several reasons.
"Whatever, here you are. If you stumble on the boat these days and have problems, you can find this foreigner to make a good profit." Wei Yu puts his card into Xin Yi's hand and gives her a look to let her understand.
"Your expression is really philistine. I don't want it. I want to get it from you." Xinyi put his business card back into Wei Yu's pocket.
Then Wei Yu found his own room.
"You and Ronan share a room." Xinyi stood in front of the door.
Wei Yu took out my room card and opened the door. It was a simple double room. He saw a suitcase in the corner.
"Ronan didn't say anything when he came."
"Two beds." Xin Yi fell down on the bed and rolled around in disappointment.
"I let you down. I feel that I have put away the unrealistic ideas in your mind. Don't you think it's wrong to say that you are a girl here?" Wei Yu points to her and then points to the room.
Xinyi waved his hand and said, "I believe Xiaowei, even if you have that heart, you don't have that courage."
This man is really big.
Wei Yu puts his luggage in his room and prepares to go on deck to watch the ship start. As a land duck who has lived in the inland for 20 years, he has an inexplicable longing for the sea.
"Go to the deck to watch the ship start?" Xinyi guessed my idea.
Wei Yu nodded, closed the door, and said, "I'll go to the restaurant to get some food first. I'm hungry after taking the train from my hometown."
"Why not take a plane?" asked Xinyi.
"There is no airport in my hometown."
Wei Yu found a detailed distribution map of the cruise ships from his room and asked, "Do you want to go together?"
"What are you looking at?" said Xin Yi, who was lying on the bed, turning over the instructions of the cruise ship and saying, "After reading it several times, I don't think it's interesting anymore."
Tut, hateful coastal people.
"But I'm a little hungry. Go to the restaurant first." Xinyi rolled up.
The restaurant is very large, and the decoration is also very gorgeous. Many people in the restaurant are formally dressed businessmen. Wei Yu and Xin Yi, two graduates, look very conspicuous here. Xin Yi, who is trotting around the restaurant with food, apparently does not notice that he is out of place with the people around him.
"Hurry up, Xiaowei, or the ship will leave soon, and you won't see the moment when the cruise ship sets sail. All the desserts here are delicious!" Xinyi said to me with a piece of chocolate.
Of course I know, but don't be so loud, Wei Yu thought, but his hands didn't stop. He was already hungry.
"Guest, do you need a drink?" A waiter stood beside Wei Yu with a drink tray and smiled at him.
"Yes! Thank you." Xinyi and the waiter took two cups of what should be some carbonated beverage and handed one to Wei Yu.
"There will be a sailing show on the deck later, please come and watch it." The waiter smiled and told Wei Yu, then approached the tourists who were also eating on the other side.
Sailing show? Wei Yu remembered that when queuing to get on the boat, there were some people who did not look like tourists wearing colorful clothes and carrying various boxes like musical instruments. Those people should be the groups waiting to perform.
When they were full, Wei Yu walked quickly to the deck with drinks. There were not few tourists watching the ship leave the port. As soon as they came to the deck, they heard a whistle blaring.
"Wait for me." Xinyi also followed with a small quick step.
"Didn't you say you were tired of it?" Wei Yu looked at her contemptuously.
"You mind me!"
Then after a whistle sounded, the boat began to move slightly.
There were many tourists cheering at the same time, and then several crew members opened the color gun beside them, and the deck was full of excitement.
There was a lot of music on the deck. Earlier, several people with boxes began to perform happily. The crowd clapped their hands or whistled, as if everyone had forgotten the hot sun above their heads.
The ship slowly moved outward bit by bit, and then the speed began to accelerate. There was a wave on the sea and it kept rolling beside the ship. Not far from the ship, Wei Yu saw an octopus like tentacle brushing the bottom of the ship Tentacles?
Did I read it wrong?
Wei Yu blinked hard and looked again at the water beside the boat. He saw only the waves and blue water. I should have been blind to seaweed.
The port in the line of sight is getting farther and farther, and there are still people on the ship's side waving hands with the people on the shore. Then several colorful balloons fly into the sky, as if to wish everyone a happy journey.
There was a vibration in Wei Yu's coat pocket, and his mobile phone rang. It was Su Xing.
"Xiaowei, come to the dining room on the deck to meet. If you see other students, please call them." Su Xing's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I'm right here on the deck, and there's Xinyi. I see you." Wei Yu sees the very high-end restaurant on the deck. Su Xing stands in front of the huge French window and makes a phone call. Behind him are excited students.
A faint murmur came from the sea. Wei Yu's vision gradually blurred, and a fog appeared in front of him. The whole cruise ship was surrounded by the fog. He rubbed his eyes as if he didn't see anything unusual.
"Okay, we'll come right away."
