I started by watching videos, and I chose 10,000 combat power.

Li Xiulan stood at the door, completely stunned.

The room was much bigger than she had imagined.

A two-meter-wide bed is placed in the center, with a soft-padded headboard and a beige leather headboard that looks very comfortable.

On either side of the bed are solid wood bedside tables, each with a warm yellow lamp on it.

By the window was a desk and a chair, with a bouquet of flowers on the desk.

The windows are large, almost taking up the entire wall, and offer a direct view of the sea view. Sunlight streams in through the glass, making the whole room bright and airy.

In the corner is a separate walk-in closet with sliding doors, inside which hang several bathrobes and clothes racks.

Further inside is the bathroom, which features a separation of wet and dry areas. The shower and bathtub are separate, and a brand-new set of toiletries is placed on the sink. The towels are neatly folded, and even the bath towels are rolled into flower shapes.

Li Xiulan stood at the door, her feet seemingly nailed to the ground, afraid to step inside.

She wiped her hands on her pants, afraid that the sweat on her hands would dirty the clean, shiny items.

Luo Fei gently nudged her from behind: "Mom, go inside and take a look."

Li Xiulan took a careful step, her feet landing on the soft carpet, feeling as if she were walking on clouds, all soft and fluffy.

She walked to the bedside, reached out and touched the sheets. The fabric was smooth and soft, with a slight coolness to it—a texture she had never experienced before in her life.

Luo Weidong followed behind her, equally cautious, as if afraid of stepping on something and breaking it.

He stood by the bed for a while, then walked to the window, looked at the blue sea outside, and remained silent for a long time.

Li Xiulan couldn't suppress the smile on her lips. She turned around and around again, finally standing by the bed, looking at the huge bed, and whispered, "This bed is too big. Two people can sleep in it, and there's room for two more people to lie in the middle."

Luo Fei smiled and said, "Mom, you and Dad should get some rest. You can sleep here tonight and look at the stars over the sea."

Li Xiulan's lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just nodded.

After touring the master bedroom, Captain Sun showed them several other rooms.

Li Xiulan had lost count of how many rooms were on the ship; she felt her brain was struggling to keep up.

When I returned to the living room, the crew members who had gone to move things had already come back.

Two young men were each pushing a small cart piled high with diving equipment, fishing gear, suitcases, and various bags. They were carrying the items from the carts onto the boat, then neatly stacking them in the storage area at the stern.

Luo Fei glanced at it and saw that everything was complete, so he nodded.

Captain Sun glanced at his watch, walked to the bridge, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said a few words.

Soon, the deep sound of the engine came from the bottom of the ship, and the whole ship shook slightly, then the vibration became steady and continuous.

The shore crew untied the mooring lines, the boat rocked slightly, and then slowly moved away from the berth.

Li Xiulan stood by the living room window, watching the buildings on the shore slowly recede into the distance. Although the boat was moving very slowly, she could feel the floor beneath her feet trembling slightly.

She instinctively grabbed the window railing, her fingers clenched tightly.

Luo Fei walked to her side and said softly, "Mom, don't be nervous, it's okay."

Li Xiulan took a deep breath and nodded, but her fingers still didn't loosen.

As the ship sailed further and further away, the buildings on the shore grew smaller and smaller, turning into rows of blurry shadows.

The sea became increasingly expansive, its blue dazzling, and the sunlight shimmered on its surface like scattered gold.

The sea breeze, carrying a salty scent, is gentle and soothing, unlike the harsh winds blowing from the shore.

Li Xiulan's tension gradually subsided. She loosened her grip on the railing, leaned against the window, and gazed at the boundless blue expanse, her eyes growing brighter and brighter.

"It's so beautiful," she murmured to herself, her voice very soft, as if afraid of disturbing the sea.

Luo Weidong stood beside her, also gazing at the sea. Although he didn't speak, his hand unconsciously reached out and took his wife's hand.

Luo Fei stood behind them, watching his parents' backs as they stood side by side by the window, the sunlight shining on them as if they were gilded with a golden halo.

A slight smile played on his lips as he took out his phone and glanced at it.

Old Wu's message popped up: "Mr. Luo, the Zhou family's matter has been resolved. The industry and commerce bureau, tax bureau, and fire department conducted a joint inspection and found many problems. Those that needed to be punished were punished, and those that needed to be shut down were shut down. That should be enough to keep them occupied for a while. In addition, I and the security personnel are on a coast guard vessel, about two nautical miles behind you. We will maintain this distance and will not disturb your trip. We are ready to provide support if any situation arises. Please relax and enjoy your time with your uncle and aunt. Don't worry about anything else."

After reading it, Luo Fei replied with two words: "Received".

He put his phone in his pocket, walked over to his parents, and gazed at the sea with them.

As the ship sailed further and further away, the cities on the shore had completely disappeared below the horizon, leaving only the boundless blue ocean all around and the higher and farther sky above.

Behind them, on a luxury yacht at the Xiamen International Yacht Marina, several young people were lounging on the deck sofas, drinking ice-cold beer and chatting idly.

A young man wearing sunglasses and floral shorts tossed an empty beer can onto the table, glanced at his watch, and frowned, saying, "What's Old Zhou up to? Didn't he say he'd come over after buying his girlfriend some cosmetics and sunscreen? It's been almost two hours, and he still hasn't shown up. He's not answering his phone or replying to messages. Is he playing hide-and-seek?"

Another young man with a buzz cut, legs crossed and an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth, casually remarked, "Don't rush, we might be stuck in traffic. At this time of day, which road in Lushi isn't congested?"

The young man wearing sunglasses scoffed, "Traffic jam? I've driven this road from the mall to the pier at least eight hundred times. Can a traffic jam really last two hours? Could he be doing something else with his new girlfriend in the mall?" As he spoke, he winked, his tone carrying a hint of ambiguity.

A young man next to him, who was scrolling through his phone, looked up and chuckled: "You guys have met his new girlfriend, right? She was wearing heavy makeup at the bar last time. I really don't know what Lao Zhou saw in her."

Everyone laughed, and the laughter gradually faded away in the sea breeze.

The man with the buzz cut picked up his phone and dialed Zhou Haibo's number again. It rang seven or eight times, but still no one answered.

He hung up the phone, threw it on the table, and shook his head.

"Forget it, let's not wait any longer. Let's do our own thing first, and when Lao Zhou arrives, let him figure out how to find us himself."

The young man wearing sunglasses waved and called over a waiter on the boat: "We can set sail now. Open two more bottles of wine and bring over that fruit platter. Oh, and turn on the stereo and play some music."

The music started playing—a high-energy electronic tune—and the atmosphere on the deck instantly became lively.

The group clinked glasses and began another round of casual conversation.
