I have no problem being the boss lady, but it’s not just the boss who works for me; there are plenty of little workers too! Don’t worry, I won’t shortchange you; I definitely won’t hold back your salary! Upon hearing the term "boss lady," Li Ziyu's cheeks flushed, and she quickly retorted.
Sigh! Here I am thinking about how to create a paradise for you, while you’re plotting how to inherit my fortune and planning to enslave me for life. Isn’t that a bit cruel? Shi Tiansheng exclaimed dramatically.
Seeing the triangular fins approaching in the distance, Shi Tian chuckled and said, "That group of little guys is here. Let’s go! It’s time to feed the dolphins; you have a mission!"
As the Ice Chamber opened, a box of Large Yellow Croaker was moved onto the deck, and the dolphins had already swum over. Picking up a fish and dipping it towards Hai Li, Little Stone's head immediately popped up from the Stern.
A Large Yellow Croaker was tossed into Little Stone's mouth, and as Shi Tian patted its little head, he chuckled, "This little dolphin is named Little Stone, and that slightly bigger one is called Big Stone."
Hearing these names, Li Ziyu looked speechless and said, "You named your dolphin Star after it bit your hook in less than ten minutes. Now this dolphin has eaten two of your fish and suddenly shares your surname? At least give it a nicer name!"
After giving Little Stone a yellow croaker, he turned around and stuffed Big Stone with one too. After a hearty pat, Shi Tian smiled and said, "I didn’t name them; it was Yun Jie who did!"
The larger dolphins still needed names. If you don’t want to end up with more stones, you better secure the naming rights quickly! Otherwise, if Yun Jie comes over again next time, you might miss your chance!
As the sun set in the west, the Mini Air Force carried Shi Tian and Li Ziyu as they gazed at the fading light dancing on the calm sea surface. The group of Little Dolphins had long disappeared; after finishing their fish, they waved their little flags and left without a trace of longing.
"Boss, it’s time to go back!" Li Ziyu said with a slight smile as she watched the sun sink.
The night sea isn’t pretty; if someone isn’t used to going out to sea often, facing the pitch-black waters would only bring endless fear!
"Okay, boss lady, let’s head back to the cabin! Without you in the cabin with me, I can’t find my way forward!"
"You’re so needy!" She lightly punched Shi Tian but didn’t refuse; she obediently followed him back to the cabin.
When the Mini Air Force docked, Shi Tian didn’t take Li Ziyu back but instead brought her to Old Zhang’s Little Lobster Shop to check on Anhe Town’s development and solve their dinner issue.
As soon as the lobster hit the table, Shi Tian’s phone rang.
He picked it up to see it was Shi Ye calling from a domestic number. Had he returned quietly?
"Xiao Tian, come pick us up; we’ve arrived at the airport!" As soon as he answered, Shi Ye spoke before Shi Tian could say anything.
Glancing at Li Ziyu and then at his phone, Shi Tian felt a moment of hesitation between his million-dollar decision and Li Ziyu.
"What’s wrong?" Noticing something off about him, Li Ziyu looked up and casually asked before lowering her head again to continue savoring her small lobster, always ready to merge it into her body.
"Ye Ge and the others are back; they’ve already arrived at the airport!" He instinctively replied. Then he stood up and told Li Ziyu, "You keep eating here; I’ll run to the airport to pick them up. I’ll be back soon!"
"Make it quick! Bring them over; let’s treat them to some lobsters!" She stuffed a peeled lobster into her mouth immediately after speaking.
Shi Tian drove towards the airport while Shi Ye and his brothers were already standing at the exit hall looking for Xia Shou.
Returning from Benin wasn’t easy; they didn’t catch their flight directly but had to fly via Paris first.
Flying from Paris to Chongqing, and then from Chongqing to Sanya, the three of them had quite the exhausting journey! Feeling tired wasn’t the worst part; it would be a disaster if they ran out of supplies.
In Africa, finding Kao Yan was quite difficult. It wasn't impossible, but with so many fellow countrymen vying for that little bit of tobacco, sometimes they found themselves smoking one meal away from the next.
Finally back in the country, foreign cigarettes lost their charm. While transferring in Chongqing, they could finally get their hands on Kao Yan, but with flight delays, they ended up smoking through the few packs they had on them in the waiting lounge.
Most airports have a shop selling cigarettes, and Sanya's airport was no exception. However, cigarettes bought by oneself never tasted as good as those shared. Back home and in high spirits, the three decided to go to the Arrival Hall to bum some smokes.
"Hey bro, can I borrow a light?" Since they were bumming anyway, they might as well aim for something good. When a guy pulled out a pack of soft Chinese cigarettes from his pocket, Air Force immediately moved closer.
Bumming a light is a common occurrence among smokers, especially at airports; whether in the departure hall or Arrival Hall, such situations are perfectly normal.
As one cigarette was lit, the guy held up his lighter and watched Air Force rummaging through his pockets with wide eyes. Seeing him reach into his last pocket made the guy panic and quickly stuffed his cigarette into his pants pocket. "You’re not trying to bum my smoke, are you?"
