Si Yiyan brought Wen Xinya to the seaport of a small town in Jinshi. There were many large and small fishing boats docked at the port. Many tourists were strolling along the shore and buying seafood directly from the fishermen on the boats. The lively fish and fresh shrimps and shellfish made Wen Xinya amazed.
Wen Xinya's voice was tinged with excitement: "I didn't even know there was such a place in Jinshi."
Si Yiyan smiled and said, "The seafood here is not only fresh, but the fishermen also have their own way of cooking the ocean, which you can't get anywhere else. The government plans to develop tourism in this place."
"Let's try the seafood here." Wen Xinya felt a little hungry. She didn't eat much snacks in the car just now because she was afraid that she would not be able to eat anything else.
"Okay!" Si Yiyan took Wen Xinya's hand and brought her to a large but old-looking fishing boat at the port. He jumped onto the boat and stretched out his hand to Wen Xinya on the shore.
Wen Xinya looked at the palm in front of her, which was covered with thin calluses, while the calluses on the thumb and index finger were thicker. Her heart sank slightly, because only people who often hold guns would have thicker calluses on these two parts of the palm.
Si Yiyan waved her hand and said, "Give me your hand! I'll pull you aboard. It's inconvenient for you to wear high heels."
Wen Xinya instantly pulled her distracted thoughts back to normal and put her hand in Si Yiyan's palm. His palm was very large, almost covering her entire hand. His palm was very dry and slightly warm. She felt as if her whole heart was warmed by this hand.
Si Yiyan exerted force and pulled her onto the boat. The boat shook and her body swayed with it. Si Yiyan hugged her waist and pressed her whole body against his chest.
Wen Xinya subconsciously struggled and took a breath. The salty and humid air from the sea mixed with the fishy smell made her feel a little uncomfortable, so she greedily inhaled the clear and elegant bamboo fragrance on his body, and then she felt better.
"Are you seasick?" Si Yiyan suddenly thought of this question, and secretly blamed himself for being careless and forgetting to ask such an important question.
Wen Xinya thought for a moment and said, "I don't think I'll feel dizzy! I don't feel dizzy when I'm on a yacht."
In her previous life, she didn’t feel seasick when riding on a yacht, but she didn’t know if seasickness had anything to do with the type of boat one was on.
"That's good! The sun is still quite strong outside, let's go into the cabin." Si Yiyan had a smile on his face, half hugging and half supporting Wen Xinya as they walked on the fishing boat.
"It's my first time to ride on such a boat. It feels very fresh, but it would feel better if the boat didn't shake like this!" The boat shook from time to time. This was Wen Xinya's first time on such a fishing boat, so she was not used to it. She couldn't stand steadily at all. She could only half lean on Si Yiyan and let him hug her.
"You may feel a little uncomfortable when you first get on the boat, but you will be fine after sitting for a while!" Si Yiyan took her into the cabin. The cabin was a little old, but very clean.
Wen Xinya sat on the small stool beside the table in the cabin. Her butt was on solid ground and she didn't feel as uncomfortable as before. When the boat was shaking, she didn't feel insecure as if she was off balance.
"The seafood cooked by the proprietress on this fishing boat is recognized as the best in this town." After sitting down, Si Yiyan introduced this famous seafood restaurant to Wen Xinya.
At this time, the proprietress in blue printed cotton came over with a gentle smile: "Jiu Shao, the dishes are ready, do you want them served now?"
The proprietress's gaze naturally fell on Wen Xinya. Her gaze was gentle, but with a hint of scrutiny.
Si Yiyan said calmly: "Bring it up!"
The proprietress was about to turn around and leave when Wen Xinya looked at Si Yiyan and said with a smile, "May is the best time to eat oysters! Order him some lemon oysters."
The proprietress looked at Si Yiyan, and the smile on her face became more obvious.
Si Yiyan looked at Wen Xinya lovingly. This girl probably wanted to avenge herself for being teased by him in the car before.
After the proprietress left, Wen Xinya looked at Si Yiyan with a half-smile and said, "I heard that oysters are good for men with kidney deficiency. They can nourish the kidneys and strengthen the yang. It is said that there is a small town in France where men eat a raw oyster almost every morning. According to statistics, the men in that town are very energetic, their married life is very harmonious and happy, and the average age of men's sexual function is over 70 years old."
Si Yiyan looked at her smiling face and said, "Are you reminding me that I need to reserve my energy?" He slowly leaned close to her ear and smiled softly, "Don't worry, I will follow your request and eat an oyster every morning to reserve energy for my future... life."
Si Yiyan's low laugh was full of charm, like the sound of a guqin, gentle, low and lingering. Although he omitted two words in the middle, Wen Xinya still guessed it. He wanted to say the word "husband and wife". Wen Xinya's face turned red all of a sudden. She failed to tease him and was teased instead. This feeling was really embarrassing.
"Oysters nourish yin and replenish blood. Eating more of them is good for your body." Although teasing this girl is a very fun thing, Si Yiyan decided to stop while he was ahead.
Wen Xinya quickly changed the subject: "Have you been here before? The proprietress seems to be very familiar with you."
Si Yiyan smiled and explained: "My mother likes to eat seafood. My father brought me here several times when I was young."
At this time, the proprietress brought the dishes to the table. Wen Xinya looked at the fried clams, stir-fried hairy crabs with spicy sauce, grilled shrimps with garlic and rosemary, smoked salmon... all kinds of seafood on the table, all with good color, aroma and taste, and her eyes almost popped out.
"Don't stare, eat quickly!" Si Yiyan picked up a shrimp, put it on the plate and peeled it carefully.
Wen Xinya immediately picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of salmon and put it in her mouth: "The meat is fresh and tender, and the taste is smooth and delicate. It is three times more flavorful than that of a five-star hotel."
After peeling two shrimps, Si Yiyan dipped them in sauce and put them on the plate in front of Wen Xinya, then he took a hairy crab and started peeling it.
Wen Xinya accepted it without hesitation.
The proprietress brought a few more dishes. Wen Xinya couldn't help but frown and said, "Si Yiyan, how much did you order? How can the two of us finish it?"
Si Yiyan explained: "The seafood here is very good. It's rare to have the opportunity to come here. I ordered some for you to try. If you can't finish it, then don't finish it. It's best if you enjoy it."
Wen Xinya frowned slightly and said, "Si Yiyan, I heard that wasting food in the military camp will be punished."
