Chapter 245 Cruise Ship
In the afternoon, Long Chengxuan explained to his comrades and disappeared. By the time it was dark, he had already driven to a port with Zhang Xiaomo. There, Zhang Ruonan and a group of people accompanying the visit were waiting for them there.
After seeing the huge cruise ship, Zhang Xiaomo couldn't help but wonder: "Is there no airplane available?"
"There is a small airport, but not big. Although the tourism industry is also being developed there, most of the land is islands and not very large. If you really want to take out a larger island to build a large airport, it seems a bit inappropriate. So, except for emergencies and kings' travel, you basically take a boat in, which will also facilitate their homeland security."
Of course, this is just a matter of official speaking. In fact, the place there is far away from the mainland. If you want to build a military base, it is too small and not enough to garrison, so no one pays attention. This time, China is interested in not being very far from the maritime transportation line, at least much closer than China. It can build a large port as a transit or a "small" military base to improve China's growing naval strength.
However, there is no need to tell her about these complicated things. He never wanted his wife to get involved in things like politics, so as not to cause trouble to her: "And if we take a boat, we can watch the stars and the sunrise on the sea."
After hearing what Long Chengxuan said, Zhang Xiaomo realized that he had remembered everything he said and worked hard to achieve it. After understanding this, she gently held the other party's hand: "Axuan, thank you!"
"Silly girl, what do you thank?" Long Chengxuan smiled and hugged her waist, pressing her chin against her head: "This time it is considered a public-private and private matter. There is nothing big on the way, but if it was in Scalan, I might have been unable to accompany you for a few days. Then I can only let Ruonan accompany you around."
She had known the purpose of this trip for a long time, so she nodded gently: "It's okay, and you don't have to worry about me, I can do it alone. If it's not safe, I'll stay at home and not go out."
"That won't be that you are accompanying me on a state visit now. If you hurt you, it's not a personal grudge, but a problem that will rise to the national level. If no one dares to do this." Long Chengxuan looked at her with a smile: "There is an island there, and there is no industry, and the scenery is good. Whether you want to dive or bask in the sun, it's a good choice."
It's January now. Although it's an island there, it's not too hot. It's also a good choice to have a comfortable sunbathing: "Well, there are some special snacks in the local area... However, for those who come from the foodie empire, it's good to try it. The seafood is good, but the cooking method is a bit too simple and rough. Then I'll let them get some back and I'll give it to you."
Listening to her husband keep talking, she didn't interrupt, just listened quietly, and finally nodded with a smile: "Okay!"
For her, as long as she stays with him, no matter what it is, it is a good thing.
One night, passed quietly, well... except for someone who performed badly last night and made the bride feel happy again until she fainted, it seemed that everything was really quiet.
Early in the morning, when Long Chengxuan was doing daily exercise on the boat, he also met Zhang Ruonan. Seeing that her face was not very good, he seemed to understand something: "Seasick? Did you take medicine?"
Zhang Ruonan shook his head: "It's okay, I'll get used to it slowly. If I take medicine, I'm afraid it will affect..."
"Do you think it's fake to do interference training? Your current situation will really affect it. There should be nothing wrong with this boat. You take medicine to take a rest and get used to it early."
"I……"
"You are my military officer, I will order you."
Seeing Long Chengxuan with a stern face, Zhang Ruonan stood attentively and saluted: "Yes!"
Just as she turned her back and was about to leave, Long Chengxuan said, "If you feel uncomfortable, call the doctor. This time I asked you out to let others know that you are being protected by our Long family. I asked some people not to make any more of your ideas, and it was not really about using you as a military officer. Let yourself relax. I have been tired for so many years, so have a good rest."
Zhang Ruonan was stunned for a moment, turned to look at him: "Even if it is, I will pay attention to it." After that, he left directly. Facing this stubborn woman, Long Chengxuan was quite helpless and could only continue his own exercise.
When Zhang Xiaomo opened her eyes, she found that it was already bright outside and the sun shone through the thin gauze window. It seemed that it was a good weather outside. Thinking of this, she felt much better. When she was about to sit up, her waist felt sore and soft, which made her face sink again.
But this time, she was not as angry as usual. Although she was troubled by Long Chengxuan yesterday, she had to say that it was her own self-inflicted. If she called for a stop, Long Chengxuan would definitely not have troubled her like this. She was enjoying it herself, so how could she blame someone?
"Xiao Mo, are you awake? I'll bring you breakfast."
Hearing Long Chengxuan's voice, she turned her head and saw him wearing white clothes and white pants, holding a dining plate in his hand, which should be her breakfast inside.
She laughed and sat up slowly: "You need to exercise on the boat, too?"
"I started since I was three years old and I've been used to it for a long time." Long Chengxuan smiled and put the moving table next to the bed, then put the plate on it: "I made some millet porridge, fried eggs and fried dough sticks for you. This is a dried bamboo shoot bag. I remember you said you like it. I tasted it and it tasted pretty good."
Faced with the rich breakfast, she felt hungry: "I'll go wash and eat together first." The food was filled with a lot of food, and it was definitely not her own. Thinking of Long Chengxuan getting up early to exercise, and she hadn't eaten breakfast at this point, she felt a little distressed: "Next time if I get up late, you can eat first, don't wait for mine."
"Okay!" Although she responded like this, she probably just agreed to it when she saw the other person's expression. She rolled her eyes to the sky, and got up and walked towards the bathroom.
When she finished washing up and changed into a casual cotton white dress, Long Chengxuan had already set up breakfast on the small terrace outside the room. It seemed that he thought like himself, and it was rare to have such beautiful sea views to see, so why do you still have to stay in the room for breakfast?
After having breakfast happily together, the two of them went to the activity room to meet several of them who were traveling with this time: among them were the negotiator Ying Chenyu, the secretary Qiao Ke, the translator Huo Jing, and two military officers Miao Yun and Yin Fenqiang.
Zhang Xiaomo greeted everyone one by one, and it was the first time that everyone met the legendary future mistress of the Long family. Although the meeting was not very familiar, the atmosphere was quite friendly. I think these entourages were also selected by Long Zeting himself.
Among them, Qiao Ke and Huo Jing were both women, and they stood together with Zhang Xiaomo to chat, but during some of the time, she just listened quietly and didn't say much. Perhaps before coming, they already knew her, so they didn't find it difficult for her to get in touch with her. Huo Jing was quite straightforward and said that the task was boring because the official language of Scalan was English. The people present were not inferior to her in English, so she probably just went there as a vase.
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaomo smiled: "That's pretty good, at least you don't have to be that tired. I heard that instant translation is very tiring."
It was rare to hear her response. Huo Jing was happy and said a lot, and finally sighed: "Actually, I have to thank Uncle Long for giving me this opportunity to have a vacation. I haven't been to the beach for a long time. Maybe we still have the chance to dive on the beach this time? I heard that the coral reefs over there are so beautiful, not inferior to the Great Barrier Reef."
"Don't even think about it. This time we are equivalent to a state visit. At most, we are accompanied by official personnel to stroll around the famous folk streets here, and other activities are prohibited." Qiao Ke is much more mature: "If we want to go swimming, they will probably have to clear the beach there and send people to ensure our safety at any time. If something happens to us, it will involve major events between the countries."
After being reminded by her, Huo Jing remembered this incident and she was immediately discouraged: "Ah? That's not in vain?"
"When we come here for a vacation, at least the food should be good. And the pearls produced here are good, so we can buy some of them when shopping."
After saying this, Huo Jing seemed to have thought of something: "We can't go, can my sister-in-law go?"
Zhang Xiaomo had this plan, but after hearing Qiao Ke say that, she immediately stopped thinking: "No, I'll just stay in the house, I'm not very familiar with swimming or something."
After hearing what she said, Huo Jing looked regretful, but Qiao Ke's eyes were full of praise and smile when he looked at her. Although this was a state visit, everyone actually knew that this was also the honeymoon between Long Chengxuan and Zhang Xiaomo. He was originally for fun, but now there are many restrictions on his identity. If he were an ordinary woman, he would have been angry long ago, but seeing that she was still Wufeng and Wuyue, she looked calm. In terms of this kind of cultivation, she is worthy of Long Chengxuan.
On the other hand, Long Chengxuan walked over after saying something, "What are you talking about?"
"Nothing." Zhang Xiaomo was afraid that Huo Jing would mention the snorkel to Long Chengxuan, so he quickly changed the topic: "You finished talking? Why didn't you see Ruonan?"
"She was a little seasick, so I asked her to take medicine to rest." Long Chengxuan smiled, greeted Huo Jing and Qiao Ke, and then held her hand and left the activity room.
Standing by the side of the boat and looking at the sea of Bilan, both of them felt in a good mood. Long Chengxuan even told her some interesting and fun things, which made her laugh. Of course, this kind of smile is very restrained for ordinary people. They are not familiar with them, and they don’t know that she is in a good mood.
Standing on the other side of the deck and watching them look like this, Huo Jing drank her juice and said, "Brother Cheng Xuan really fell into it this time. When did he coax a woman like this?"
"It's not bad. Cheng Xuan used to be too depressed, but now he has become much cheerful to coax his wife." Qiao Ke smiled: "And I think Zhang Xiaomo is not bad, decent, generous, and sensible." You can tell from her taking the initiative to distract the topic just now that she is really sensible.
As a secretary-general, she needs to worry about everything about everyone, no matter how big or small. If there is someone who is so worry-free, her visit will be much easier this time.
Huo Jing, who was standing beside him, also nodded: "I like this sister-in-law too. By the way, isn't she better if her male sister? She said she wants to sleep for a while, and I dare not disturb her."
"It's okay, she has a good physique. As long as she adapts, she will get better soon." Speaking of this, Qiao Ke sighed: "I hope she can adapt early, otherwise she will suffer along the way."
Compared to this, Huo Jing was worried about another point: "We, I'd better pray that we won't encounter pirates along the way. I heard that there were pirates all the way around."
