Chapter 484 - 482: Scumbag Face
On the deck, the captain seemed to have just finished speaking.
Everyone dispersed.
Seeing Tang Si strolling back, he walked over: "Do you need me to tell you again? We’re concerned about the safety of each and every one of you."
Tang Si listened, slowly lifted his eyes, and smiled: "No need to trouble you, carry on with your work."
The captain scrutinized Tang Si, nodded, and then left.
Tang Si watched the captain’s back, saying nothing.
He turned and walked towards Song Yi: "What’s his name?"
Song Yi tilted her head, glanced at the position display over there, and pointed: "Randolph Strong?"
"Strong." Tang Si softly repeated.
Song Yi looked at his expression: "Is there a problem?"
"Yes." Tang Si pulled Song Yi towards his room.
As soon as they entered, Song Yi suddenly stopped in her tracks, glancing around the room: "Has someone been here? Or did you just come back?"
She was very perceptive, always keen on details.
Tang Si suddenly raised an eyebrow, looked at Song Yi, and chuckled lightly: "Quite observant, aren’t you?"
Song Yi tilted her head, smiling with squinted eyes: "And you’re surprised?"
She jokingly said: "Be careful from now on, if you sneak around and I catch you with other girls, you’ll be in big trouble."
Tang Si chuckled again, slipping one hand into his pocket while gently touching her delicate hand with the other: "What if they come to me?"
Song Yi: "Castrate them."
"Tsk, my wife is so ruthless, how would I dare?"
"So if I’m not ruthless, you’d dare?"
Tang Si suddenly raised his hand and flicked her forehead gently with his finger: "Could you wish some good for me? Do I really look like a scumbag?"
"You look like a heartbreaker, with those charming eyes and a flirty face."
Tang Si tilted his head, examining Song Yi: "Do I have a reason to worry about you being snatched by another man? There are so many better than me out there."
The two of them exchanged words, lightening the mood.
At such a moment, no amount of anxiety would help.
...
Tang Si pulled her down to sit, his expression calm and unruffled as he told Song Yi about his experience in the cockpit.
Song Yi, after listening, didn’t seem scared or timid.
Instead, she stared at Tang Si and asked: "So can it be understood that this cruise ship has been hijacked?"
"Yes." Tang Si: "We need to understand their motives first."
Song Yi scooted closer to Tang Si on the sofa, her hand gripping his arm, solid and reassuring.
As she nestled closer, he naturally wrapped an arm around her, gently resting his forehead against hers, his voice hoarse and low: "Scared?"
He was steady as a rock, composed and unflustered, showing no sign of fear or panic.
Warm breath brushed against her face, and Song Yi simply raised her head, lightly biting his thin lips: "No, it’s exhilarating, tense, and thrilling."
Tang Si raised an eyebrow.
Song Yi said: "Encountering such a thing can’t be avoided, but we need to resolve it."
"Don’t make me experience once what it’s like to solve a case with Captain Tang, to work with you, shoulder to shoulder, to experience your feelings."
Liking you means wanting to do everything with you.
Including your work.
Perhaps before, there was no chance to participate, but now on this cruise ship, she has this opportunity.
"You won’t think I’m stupid, right?"
"You’re stupid? Then what about the other girls?" Tang Si: "Miss Song, please recognize your true self."
His words were actually a way of agreeing to let her join.
Song Yi: "Why don’t you say it would be dangerous if I don’t participate?"
"Do what you love, don’t suppress your nature, it would make you uncomfortable." Tang Si chuckled: "But follow my lead?"
"Okay."
...
In fact, Song Yi has that ability, Tang Si truly wouldn’t hold her back, rather allowing her to have a process, some hidden things are part of who she is.
Therefore, there’s no need to hide, completely unleash them, it wouldn’t hurt.
Today, he is here, and she can still face such things, he is at ease, sees it as a growth journey.
If today he suppressed her, told her to stay put, she’d have no ability to handle such situations in the future.
No one can say for sure what the future holds, and besides, Song Yi still has mysteries about her, who knows what awaits them in the future.
If her hidden identity is truly special, then she must learn to protect herself.
This would be a different kind of life journey.
...
"Knock, knock, knock——" The door suddenly was knocked on.
It was a crew member in a uniform, he said: "Lunch will be served shortly, please come down to dine."
Tang Si smiled: "Thank you."
...
He and Song Yi went down not much later.
There were about twenty or so cruise passengers, already seated.
When they entered, they also attracted attention, after all, both were quite attractive.
One was cool and steady, the other soft and charming, each extremely so.
They were a beautiful sight, attractive things or people always make one feel happier.
As soon as they sat down, dishes were brought.
The dishes were quite abundant, Tang Si handed the menu to Song Yi: "See what you’d like to eat."
Song Yi took the menu, her fox-like eyes fixed on Tang Si: "This... is it safe to eat?"
Afraid they might have put something in it?
Tang Si’s voice was calm: "Whether we eat or not, we should order first."
Also, they probably already noticed someone missing, or rather, discovered that person’s body.
It happened when he went to the cockpit, he dealt with it.
Song Yi pursed her lips, the sun shining brightly, the sea breeze blowing, she felt the blood in her veins tingling, excited.
After ordering a few dishes, she propped her chin and looked at Tang Si: "Aren’t you scared?"
She was a bit curious: "For instance, the first time you went on a mission, or the first time undercover, weren’t you nervous and scared?"
She knew now Tang Si is used to it, he might frequently be alone in enemy territory, with no one in front or behind, yet full of courage, completing the mission.
"Yes." Tang Si answered softly and quietly: "Afraid that my failure and exposure would lead to the failure of the entire mission."
"Afraid that the people I painstakingly gathered information on and wanted to arrest would escape from my grasp."
Song Yi listened and squinted at him, looking into his eyes: "Aren’t you afraid of dying?"
His answers, fear and nervousness, were all about causing trouble for others, not about what might happen to him if he got caught.
His eyes were filled with openness and carefree spirit, and he laughed: "Yes, because if I die the mission fails."
Death seemed to have been chasing after him ever since he was young.
Death is like the wind, ever by my side.
Song Yi pursed her lips: "What did it feel like the first time?"
"Same as you." Tang Si chuckled: "Felt thrilling and exciting."
