The first time the newcomer appeared in front of everyone, he stepped on the housekeeper's sore spot.
Even under the butler's murderous gaze, Xiao Xin still did not feel uncomfortable at all.
As long as I don’t look at it, I can pretend it doesn’t exist!
At this moment, Xiao Xin only cared about the question just asked, and he was waiting for Feng Yi to answer.
Feng Yi: …
Even though he enjoys swimming in the ocean, he doesn't consider himself a marine animal!
Feng Yi said decisively: "No!"
Xiao Xin's gaze suddenly became distant.
Feng Yi: "I'm just a little bit different."
Xiao Xin's eyes became conflicted again, as if she was considering what Feng Yi meant by this sentence.
Feng Yi felt that he couldn't go on like this. The housekeeper's face looked really bad. If Xiao Xin said a few more words, he wondered if the housekeeper would faint.
He raised his hand and gestured: "Don't stand here any longer, let's sit over there and talk."
Although Xiao Xin has a strange temper and what he says is not always pleasant to the ear, the people kept by his aunt are different from ordinary employees, so Feng Yi is willing to show more tolerance and patience to them.
When they arrived at the reception room, there was no one else around. Xiao Xin didn't show it on his face, but he was much calmer inside.
The other party didn't talk much, so Feng Yi took the initiative to ask questions.
Xiao Xin only answered with a few words each time, but combining Xiao Xin's answers with the information he got from the housekeeper, Feng Yi had a general understanding of this person.
They are closer to marine animals and more repulsive to humans.
I usually stay on the boat most of the time. I have houses in several tropical island countries. The houses are simple, but I bought a very good boat.
Because I often travel around by boat, I know a lot of small languages and can even speak a few words of the dialects of some small island countries.
It’s just that Xiao Xin is a man of few words. If he can express his meaning in one or two words, he won’t say another word.
Xiao Xin also said that his understanding of Feng Yi was limited to what he could find on the Internet.
Feng Yi thought for a moment and said, "Whether an employment relationship is reached depends on both you and me. Do you have any questions?"
Xiao Xin stared at the teacup on the coffee table, paused, then looked up at Feng Yi: "Do you want to go see the big whale?"
Feng Yi:
What's the problem
Feng Yi looked at him.
Although Xiao Xin quickly looked away, there was some sincerity and tentativeness in her look when she looked over just now.
Being able to travel around by boat all the time by yourself definitely means that he is not a simple-minded person.
Feng Yi thought about it.
Watching whales
also.
By the way, observe this new employee more to see more of his real emotional information and whether he is trustworthy.
"Let's take a rest before we set off. It's almost time for dinner." Feng Yi said.
There was no formal employment relationship, so Xiao Xin was not invited to choose a room here. She was just treated as a special guest and cared for as an employee.
Xiao Xin was even more silent during the meal, and the others had no intention of testing him at this time. Whether or not to keep this person depended on Feng Yi. After an employment relationship was established, they would have a good communication with this new colleague. There was no rush to test him now.
If you want to go out to sea with Xiao Xin, you must use Xiao Xin's boat directly. There will be no one else but Feng Yi.
No one else accepted the invitation.
There was no need to worry too much about Feng Yi's safety. The butler was more worried about whether Feng Yi would be hungry on the boat. So when Feng Yi boarded the boat, the butler asked him to bring a lot of portable food.
Xiao Xin’s boat is like a mobile house on the sea, equipped with all the necessities for life.
Knowing that Xiao Xin is a man of few words, Feng Yi is considerate of his employee and often takes the initiative to start a conversation.
Away from the island and without other people around, Xiao Xin felt more at ease and would speak a few more words to Feng Yi.
Feng Yi thought about the whales Xiao Xin mentioned and asked curiously, "You sail on the sea, so you must have seen dolphins often?"
Dolphins are also whales.
Talking about the sea, Xiao Xin talked more and his eyes became softer: "When I came here, I encountered dolphins. They swam with me for a while. I also encountered two humpback whales."
After listening to this, Feng Yi began to understand why Xiao Xin was late.
He hadn't seen Xiao Xin after he shed his skin, probably because Xiao Xin went to see whales halfway.
Feng Yi asked him again: "Have you seen my aunt? I mean, her original appearance."
Xiao Xin was silent for a moment, then said, "I was thrown into the sea, and she saved me."
After saying that, he seemed to remember something and asked Feng Yi: "Do you have a tail too?"
Feng Yi: "... Well, I usually don't let it out during the day."
"Oh." Xiao Xin's tone was a little disappointed.
When Feng Yi talks to Xiao Xin, he will observe Xiao Xin's true emotional information, whether there is any malice, or any negative fluctuations.
For example, when Xiao Xin asked about the tail just now, Feng Yi observed carefully and found that this was just a harmless test.
It seems like he wants to confirm whether Feng Yi's species is the same as his aunt's.
Xiao Xin was a little disappointed knowing that Feng Yi would not let out his tail, but at the same time it also showed that Feng Yi was indeed different from ordinary people, which made Xiao Xin more relaxed.
Feng Yi could see that this person really didn't like humans.
Feng Yi asked about his daily life at sea.
Xiao Xin also said so.
Although he would bring some food with him when he went out to sea, he would also fish at sea. He seldom used a fishing rod, and most of the time he would cast a net to catch fish.
When living at sea, you must know which fish you can eat and which you cannot eat; among the edible fish, which parts can be eaten and which parts cannot be eaten.
For some fish, in addition to whether they are poisonous, we also have to consider whether they are within the protected area.
No one is watching at sea, it all depends on self-awareness
Xiao Xin is a very self-conscious person.
In fact, to be more precise, what Xiao Xin cares about is not the restrictions imposed by the law, but his attitude towards the ocean.
Just like some fishermen, in addition to the species that are strictly prohibited from being touched, those fish, shrimps and crabs that are too small and those carrying eggs will be released after being caught.
Feng Yi was very satisfied with this. After all, he had the label of a member of the Joint Guarantee Bureau, and his employees would certainly pay more attention to this aspect.
While chatting and testing, they suddenly heard a whale cry.
"It's a baby whale!" Xiao Xin pointed it out to Feng Yi excitedly.
On the sea ahead, a small humpback whale surfaced to breathe.
The sound just now came from a several-ton crying monster in the ocean.
Xiao Xin was very excited: "Its mother should be down there too. Let's go underwater to see the whales?"
Feng Yi said: "Okay."
Xiao Xin: "Diving equipment?"
Feng Yi: "No, just prepare your own."
This was another test from Xiao Xin.
They both know it well.
Feng Yi did not intend to hide this matter.
In Xiao Xin's understanding, that special species does not need diving equipment underwater, and its physique is different from that of ordinary people.
If you can't see the tail, it's okay. You'll know whether it's real or not once you get into the water.
Xiao Xin put on his diving equipment, and Feng Yi just took off his shirt and went into the water with Xiao Xin.
They did not jump off the boat, but quietly entered the water from another part of the boat.
Don't scare that several-ton baby.
Underwater, in addition to seeing the baby humpback whale, we also saw an adult humpback whale further down.
If Xiao Xin saw this while sailing at other times, he would definitely be very happy, but now, his attention is more on Feng Yi.
Before we could see Feng Yi's swimming posture clearly, he had already swam a long way away, still heading towards the direction of the two humpback whales, one big and one small.
Xiao Xin also swam over. Even though his swimming skills were better than most people, they were of different species and could not be compared.
At this time he finally confirmed Feng Yi's identity and no longer suspected that Feng Yi was an imposter.
Just watching Feng Yi swimming towards the humpback whale, that speed would easily scare the humpback whale.
However, the two humpback whales, one big and one small, did not dodge the intruder. The small humpback whale even rolled gracefully very close to Feng Yi.
Xiao Xin continued to swim towards that side for a while and suddenly stopped.
Several huge and vague figures appeared in front, followed by low moans.
As the distance gets closer, the figures in the field of vision become clearer.
There are two humpback whales again, but they are not a combination of one big and one small, both of them are huge in size.
With their pectoral fins spread out like two large wings, these gentle giants seem to be flying in the sea.
They swam past Feng Yi, making him look small and thin.
For those who are afraid of the deep sea, this situation is like hell, and just watching the picture will cause psychological trauma.
But for ocean lovers, it is an irresistible yearning!
Listening to the magical songs from the sea, all the noises in your ears seem to have gone away, leaving only the natural sounds of whales.
When these humpback whales swam past Xiao Xin, Xiao Xin didn't dare to move too much, for fear of affecting the harmony at the moment.
Xiao Xin now feels like being drunk, with a dizzy feeling of joy and happiness.
They did not disturb them anymore. Feng Yi and Xiao Xin surfaced only after the humpback whales left.
Feng Yi returned to the boat first.
Xiao Xin had to make a safety stop underwater for a few minutes. It was not safe to ascend quickly after diving at such a deep depth for such a long time.
When Xiao Xin returned to the boat, he was still a little excited. He probably no longer regarded Feng Yi as a human being. His words became more casual:
"We are so lucky today. We encountered so many humpback whales! But I feel that they are calling more frequently today. Are they saying hello to us?" Xiao Xin looked dreamy.
Feng Yi: "... Or maybe they are scolding their teammates."
Xiao Xin just took Feng Yi's words as a joke.
"When you rushed over, I thought you would scare them," said Xiao Xin.
"No, I was showing my friendship." Feng Yi said.
At that time, he was able to rush over at that speed without scaring the several-ton baby whale. He sent a weakened version of the friendly message, which would neither scare the whales nor make them show overly closeness. It was similar to ignoring, and the degree was just right.
Putting the matter of the whale aside, Feng Yi looked at Xiao Xin.
Judging from some of Xiao Xin’s performance, if the other party is allowed to guard the island, they will definitely not damage the island’s environment and may even take better care of it.
So Feng Yi asked: "Xiao Xin, if I asked you to guard that island alone, would you be afraid?"
Xiao Xin was pleasantly surprised: "There is such a good thing?!"
