Chapter 142 Setting Sail
The yacht slowly sailed away from the harbor, but its destination was uncertain. Zhang Liangjun only wanted to drift at sea for a while, to feel the ocean's atmosphere, and didn't have a specific place he needed to go.
The yacht, approximately 70 meters long and costing 260 million yuan, was a large yacht privately commissioned by Zhang Liangjun from Donghai Shipyard. Capable of ocean voyages, it is equipped with various safety features and can safely return to port even in a Force 10 storm. Zhang Liangjun simply wanted to spend some time at sea to experience the vastness of the ocean, not to deliver vegetables at sea. Therefore, he spent a week in the shipyard's technical department to ensure safety, and finally, under the admiring gaze of the engineers, signed the purchase contract.
Because the yacht was too big, it required a dedicated operator. For convenience, Zhang Liangjun had to spend a lot of money to hire three female crew members and a female captain, plus two female bodyguards and a female chef, for a total of seven people.
The boat was moving quickly, and after more than two hours, there were no other boats in sight. Zhang Liangjun stood up from the observation window of the helm, told the female captain to slow down, and just keep going forward, going wherever it led, and then walked out of the captain's cabin. The reason he stayed in the captain's cabin for so long was that Zhang Liangjun wanted to learn some driving skills, in case the female captain had a change of heart or an emergency occurred, so that he could drive the yacht himself. Fortunately, it was very simple, especially nowadays, with technological advancements making all skills simple. After two hours of learning, Zhang Liangjun felt that he could at least perform basic driving.
On the first day at sea, Zhang Liangjun was in high spirits. Seeing the gentle sunshine, he asked the crew to bring him a deck chair. He sat on the deck to enjoy the scenery, but as he looked around, a wave of sleepiness washed over him, and Zhang Liangjun fell asleep.
When Zhang Liangjun was awakened by a wave, he found himself surrounded by a row of deck chairs. Ji Xiaotong, Qu Xiaoxiao, Andy, Qiu Yingying, and Guan Juer sat in a row, dressed in revealing clothing, a pleasing sight to behold!
Hmm? Zhang Liangjun seemed to have noticed something was wrong. He turned around and looked at the women again, as if something had sneaked in!
"Brother Zhang, you're awake!" Qiu Yingying was full of energy. She hadn't slept or looked at the sea. She thought the sea was just so-so, not as beautiful as Zhang Liangjun. The more she looked at Zhang Liangjun, the more beautiful he became. So she lay on her side to admire Zhang Liangjun's sleeping posture. When Zhang Liangjun woke up, Qiu Yingying was the first to notice.
"How did she end up on the ship?" Zhang Liangjun pointed to the stern of the ship.
Qu Xiaoxiao quickly stood up, walked behind Zhang Liangjun, and while massaging Zhang Liangjun's shoulders, she whispered to him, "I asked her to come, Teacher Zhang, you won't be angry, will you?"
Kongkong stopped pretending to be asleep in the chair, sat up and looked at Zhang Liangjun, "Teacher Zhang, I'm sorry, Xiaoxiao said you guys were going to go out to sea for a few days, so I begged to join you, I wanted to..."
Zhang Liangjun interrupted the two, "Come on then! No need to apologize anymore. Next time, just tell me in advance and don't do surprise attacks again!"
Upon hearing this, Qu Xiaoxiao immediately gave Kong Kong a smug smile that said, "I guessed right!" Kong Kong rolled her eyes in response; she could have just said it directly. Kong Kong took it seriously, but in reality, she would definitely be rejected before boarding the ship; Qu Xiaoxiao had already figured Zhang Liangjun out.
Feeling like he was being blown by the wind and baked by the sun, Zhang Liangjun had the outdoor swimming pool filled with water again, jumped in, and swam a few laps.
Suddenly, he recalled the time Wang Manni saved his life. It was that experience that made Zhang Liangjun determined to train himself and learn all sorts of skills. In this world, his physical strength seemed even greater. Zhang Liangjun wanted to test his underwater breath-holding time. He adjusted his phone's timer, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and slowly submerged into the water.
Zhang Liangjun silently counted the time underwater: one second, two seconds... 117 seconds... 136 seconds... 195 seconds...
With four minutes approaching, Zhang Liangjun felt he could hold on for a while longer, as he hadn't reached his limit yet. But at that moment, he decided not to continue testing because a foot had stepped on his head!
This is intolerable! Zhang Liangjun reached out and scratched the sole of the foot that had stepped on him as punishment!
With a scream from a girl, a bikini-clad woman fell into the pool. Zhang Liangjun then surfaced and reached out to catch the fallen woman, but when he realized it was Kong Kong, his expression turned slightly embarrassed. He was secretly relieved that he hadn't used his "Thousand Years of Kill" technique.
It turned out that when Kongkong passed by, she saw the swimming pool and suddenly decided to swim a lap. However, Zhang Liangjun was diving near the escalator, and Kongkong, due to the sunlight and the shadow of the boat, didn't see Zhang Liangjun diving below. Instead, she started to enter the water from the escalator and stepped right on Zhang Liangjun's head. Kongkong, who was alone in the water, was suddenly tickled on the sole of her foot, panicked, and fell off the escalator. In her confusion, she was helped up and, after regaining her balance, realized that she was being held in Zhang Liangjun's arms.
She tilted her head back, her fearful gaze fixed on the handsome man standing in the sunlight. The man embracing her stood tall and straight, as if blending seamlessly with the brilliant sunlight behind him. His resolute face was sharply defined, like it had been carved by a knife, yet it didn't give off any sense of distance. On the contrary, the gentle light emanating from his deep eyes made her want to get closer.
He exudes a unique aura, possessing both the maturity and composure that comes with age, and the youthful vigor and vitality he retains. Sunlight falls on the tips of his hair, illuminating the water droplets that cling to it. Like sparkling diamonds, they shimmer and dazzle in the sunlight.
Kong Kong stared blankly at the beautiful scene before her, forgetting to breathe for a moment. She was completely absorbed in a state of near-obsession, with only Zhang Liangjun and the pounding of her heartbeat remaining.
Another victim has emerged.
Seeing that Kong Kong was a little dazed, Zhang Liangjun wondered if she was frightened, so he apologized, "Sorry, I didn't know it was you. I was diving here just now, and someone stepped on my foot. I thought it was Xiao Xiao, so I thought I was just joking with her. I didn't scare you, did I?"
Kong Kong finally came to her senses and quickly stood up. The pool was divided into two depth areas, with the escalator serving as the dividing line. The area where Zhang Liangjun stood was 1.6 meters deep, while the area where Kong Kong stood was about 1.4 meters deep. This was a size personally designed by Zhang Liangjun to take into account the height of himself and the other women. When Kong Kong stood, she was just over halfway up the mountain. The mountain rose and fell with the ripples of the water stirred up by the two of them, creating a spectacular sight.
