Chapter 144 Assessment Passed
Qu Xiaoxiao is very efficient; she and Kong Kong returned with the wine and glasses in less than two minutes. The two of them worked together, pouring some wine into all the glasses.
The tuna was quickly prepared. Although Liu Guifen was quite robust, her knife skills were exquisite. The slices she cut were only three or four millimeters thick, evenly sliced, and neatly arranged, making them look very appetizing. Paired with the prepared dipping sauce, it was sweet and delicious, with a smooth and tender texture. Indeed, this high-end ingredient only required simple cooking.
Although I've eaten tuna before, eating fish that I caught myself on a boat is a completely different experience in terms of taste and appearance, and it feels really great.
Fish is delicious, but it gets old quickly. The group ate about half of the fish. Zhang Liangjun told the crew not to waste any and to finish the remaining half later.
After dinner, the sky began to turn a dusky yellow.
Zhang Liangjun suggested, "Have you all finished eating? Let's go watch the sunset from the flying bridge!"
When Zhang Liangjun redesigned this yacht, he did not intend to include a flybridge; it was only added at the strong suggestion of the shipyard's designers.
When Zhang Liangjun sat on the sofa on the flybridge, he understood why the designer admired him in every other way, but strongly recommended that he join the flybridge.
This spot is like a sailor's lookout tower, offering the widest view on the entire yacht. From here, you can survey all directions, giving you a sense of "prestige."
The view of the sunset from the sea is completely different from that from land.
As the sun sets, the sun, which once hung high in the sky, radiating boundless light, gradually tilts its body, its rays no longer as dazzling as at midday. Accompanying this change is a sky ablaze with a magnificent red hue.
The fiery red clouds, like raging flames, blanketed the entire sky, seemingly trying to unleash their last ounce of energy and passion. They intertwined and merged together, forming a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
At this moment, the sun was like an exhausted giant, struggling with all its might to support its heavy body, but ultimately it was too weak. It slowly sank towards the surface of the water, its edge gently touching the surface and stirring up tiny ripples; then, as if making a final struggle, the sun suddenly sprang upwards, but the gears of fate had already turned mercilessly, and no matter how hard it tried, it could not change its predetermined fate.
Time ticked by, and the sun slowly sank below the horizon. With each minute it sank, the reluctance in people's hearts grew stronger. Two minutes passed... Finally, the sun completely disappeared into the water, leaving only a calm lake surface and the fading afterglow.
The crimson clouds in the sky seemed to sense the sadness brought by the sun's departure. They stood silently in the air, paying the highest respect and praise to this great celestial body with a solemn and dignified posture. These clouds were perhaps singing praises to the sun's daily contributions of bringing light and warmth to the earth.
As night fell completely, the sky was finally enveloped in endless darkness. Everything was immersed in this silence, as if all things would sink into oblivion and enter a long and tranquil night.
"What is the purpose of life? Is it just to die? Then what about myself?" Zhang Liangjun was immersed in the sadness of the sunset. He had never experienced the tragic grandeur of a sunset so directly as he had today. It was as if he saw life, and saw his own life.
“I’m different! Others only have one life, but I’m like the sun, I will rise again, endlessly!” Zhang Liangjun raised his head, looking at the vast night sky, the stars adorning the whole world, “But, what’s the use of that?”
“The sun is just a pawn driven by fate, powerless to resist, but... do I want to be like the sun?” Zhang Liangjun walked to the railing, looking down at the turbulent Pacific Ocean. “Perhaps jumping in will free me!”
None of the women could sense Zhang Liangjun's psychological state, except for fear.
She had no interest in watching the sunset; she had been secretly observing Zhang Liangjun. She saw confusion and bewilderment in his eyes, and when Zhang Liangjun reached the railing, her heart leaped into her throat.
Kong Kong had seen that look before, and later the owner of that look jumped off a building, so Kong Kong followed. Although she didn't believe Zhang Liangjun would do something stupid, she felt a voice in the dark urging her to go forward.
Zhang Liangjun was really about to climb over the railing, his hands already exerting force, when suddenly a soft voice called out beside him, "Teacher Zhang!"
Zhang Liangjun suddenly woke up!
This is the second time!
There's something wrong with me!
Trying to pull himself out of his inexplicable emotions, Zhang Liangjun looked kindly at Kong Kong, "Is there something you need?"
Kong Kong just wanted to call out to Zhang Liangjun; there was nothing else. Just like in the swimming pool, she had to make up an excuse again! "Um, Teacher Zhang, my leg hurts a bit. Could you take a look and see what's wrong?"
"Leg pain? Did you strain it while swimming? The water temperature isn't high, so you need to warm up before getting in, otherwise you won't feel comfortable!" Zhang Liangjun helped Kong Kong sit on the sofa. "Where does it hurt?"
Kongkong thought of the spot where she had pinched herself, but Zhang Liangjun's words made it seem like it might be a muscle strain! "Teacher Zhang, my calf is a little sore! Could you massage it for me?"
Qiu Yingying saw the interaction between the two and wanted to come over to replace Zhang Liangjun, but was stopped by Qu Xiaoxiao. Qu Xiaoxiao gestured with her eyes, and Qiu Yingying didn't understand what Qu Xiaoxiao meant, but she roughly understood what Qu Xiaoxiao meant: Qu Xiaoxiao wouldn't let her go! Qiu Yingying had received a lot of help from Qu Xiaoxiao at the company, so the two had a pretty good relationship. Qiu Yingying decided to listen to Qu Xiaoxiao one more time.
Everyone else had anticipated this scene ever since Qu Xiaoxiao secretly put Kong Kong on the boat, but none of them cared. It's like the saying goes, "When you have enough lice, you don't fear their bites!" It's already like this; adding more people wouldn't seem to make a difference.
Zhang Liangjun simply massaged the calf muscles of the blushing Kong Kong. Kong Kong's skin was very smooth, and under the lighting of the flying bridge, Kong Kong's legs were like finely carved jade, radiating a crystal-clear luster. They were probably the ones with the best skin among everyone on the ship.
"Teacher Zhang, what were you thinking about just now?" Kong Kong was still a little worried about Zhang Liangjun's behavior just now, and felt that something was not quite right.
Zhang Liangjun glanced at Kong Kong and said, "I'm wondering what the fish in the water eat tonight!" After the massage, he patted Kong Kong's leg as usual. "Okay, that's about enough. Don't do any strenuous exercise tonight, you'll be fine tomorrow."
