Chapter 1126: Chapter 1126: The Starry Sky Is Beautiful, But Not as Much as Ajin
What to do, he doesn’t want anyone else to see even an inch of Gu Jin.
An Mingji really wants to wrap the person before him tightly, from head to toe.
Gu Jin tugged at the sun-protection shirt she wore, eyes filled with helplessness: "Aren’t we supposed to go surfing, how can we play like this?"
"Not surfing today, we’re going deep sea fishing."
An Mingji’s expression remained unchanged as he firmly changed today’s plans.
"..."
Why change again, Gu Jin looked dazed.
An Mingji didn’t give her a chance to speak, immediately taking her hand to find Allen and the others.
Only by going where no one else is can no one see Gu Jin’s tempting appearance.
Deep sea fishing is most suitable for them.
Upon learning the change of plans, Allen was highly efficient in responding.
In the shortest time, he rented a boat equipped with everything needed, ready to depart at any moment.
With the change of schedule, Allen and the others could stay close to protect An Mingji and Gu Jin.
The group boarded the boat and set off towards the deep sea.
The round trip distance is relatively far, taking about two hours.
With strong winds and waves on the sea, Allen thoughtfully prepared thick clothing.
Before boarding, Gu Jin had already changed out of her surfing attire.
Now, both she and An Mingji were bundled in thick coats, sitting on the boat’s edge seats, admiring the vast ocean and listening to Dahai’s breathing.
Gu Jin suddenly asked, "Why the sudden desire to fish?"
An Mingji sat beside her, calmly replying, "I wanted to eat deep sea fish."
"Really?" Gu Jin laughed.
She didn’t believe his words.
Clearly, An Mingji had been eagerly anticipating surfing earlier, then abruptly changed his mind.
She was certain that something had happened, though unaware of the details.
"Indeed, today we’ll feast on deep sea fish right here on the sea."
To make it convenient, they not only hired a captain but also a chef and a rescue team.
Gu Jin nodded along with his words: "I’m looking forward to it."
At two in the afternoon.
The boat stopped in the deep sea area.
Gu Jin and An Mingji started assembling the fishing gear, even Allen and the others were very enthusiastic about joining in.
They set up iron rods and reel rods at the boat edge, eyes on the rods, waiting for the fish to bite.
Fishing requires patience and takes time.
An Mingji was the first to have any luck, his iron rod showing motion first.
Gu Jin was more thrilled than him.
This was her first deep sea fishing experience, leading to immense excitement with the catch.
An Mingji took in her excitement, a pleased smile curving his lips.
He began reeling in, and the fish appeared at the surface.
A tuna of roughly ten pounds surfaced; not large, but not small either.
Once the fish was pulled out, Gu Jin reached out to touch it.
"We’ll eat it tonight!" Her voice was excited, and her smile unceasing.
An Mingji reached out to comb her wind-tousled hair, speaking gently and lovingly: "Later, let Allen show his knife skills, have him make sashimi, cut into thin slices!"
"Great! Let’s continue and see what else we can catch."
Subsequently, Gu Jin, Allen, and others had their own catches.
They caught varied types, even netting a bag of shrimp and crabs.
The sky gradually darkened, the air grew colder.
An Mingji walked to Gu Jin’s side, pulled up her collar: "Gu Jin, let’s head into the cabin, it’s time for dinner."
"Let’s go." Gu Jin also felt it was time.
The two left hand in hand.
As for the gear at the boat’s edge, it was left to the crew to manage.
Allen had already prepared dinner inside the cabin.
Earlier words were not exaggerations, Allen’s knife skills were indeed impressive.
The table was set with several sashimi plates, including tuna, longtail fish, red bream, and some unnamed others.
The chef also took care of the caught shrimp and crabs.
Two bottles of red wine were placed on the table as well.
Everything was prepared, just awaiting the diners’ arrival.
An Mingji stepped to the dining table, pulled out a chair, gesturing for Gu Jin to sit.
His demeanor was graceful, showcasing impeccable aristocratic etiquette with every movement.
Gu Jin wasn’t wearing a dress today, she nodded graciously at An Mingji, pretending to hold a skirt and curtsying in return.
Having finished the exchange, she laughed walking toward the young man: "Why are you being so obedient?"
An Mingji chuckled softly, full of helplessness.
Only Gu Jin would treat him like a child.
Yet he loves this feeling.
"What did I do wrong?" An Mingji retorted.
Gu Jin teased: "Wonder who previously wanted to surf and repented, causing me to change clothes repeatedly."
"Ahem..." The topic made An Mingji cough awkwardly.
He sat beside Gu Jin, calmly justified: "Surfing consumes much energy, fishing instead allows for a deep sea fish feast."
"You’ve stated it all." Gu Jin rolled her eyes at him.
An Mingji smiled apologetically: "Let’s not dwell on that, try today’s catch."
He picked up chopsticks, grabbing a slice of red bream.
Although red bream contains the word ’red,’ its flesh is white.
Gu Jin picked up a thin slice from the plate, dipped in sauce, placed it in her mouth.
The texture was very springy with rich fat content, flavor delightful and sweet.
"Mm, it’s delicious, you try it too."
Gu Jin offered An Mingji a slice.
No boast was made about Allen’s knife skills; each slice on the plate was thin and translucent.
Both tasted every sashimi on the table, finding them very satisfying.
An Mingji poured Gu Jin a glass of red wine.
As they ate, they occasionally took sips.
This sea-based dinner lasted over an hour.
The boat was already on its way back.
An Mingji noticed Gu Jin’s cheeks flushed from drinking, looking beautiful.
He suggested: "Shall we get some air outside?"
"Sure."
Gu Jin agreed with a smile, rising to her feet, the two walked shoulder-to-shoulder out of the cabin.
Tonight’s two bottles of wine were finished by them, with Gu Jin drinking the most.
She was very happy today, not only from the first fishing experience but also from something else she couldn’t express, simply very happy.
The two stepped outside the cabin, the surrounding was pitch-black, the sounds of splashing sea were like Dahai’s breathing and heartbeat.
Gu Jin gazed up, the splendid starry sky caught her eyes.
A dense spread of stars filled the sky, incredibly beautiful, rarely seen within the city confines.
"So beautiful." Gu Jin exclaimed.
"So beautiful." An Mingji echoed.
His gaze remained fixed on Gu Jin, never straying.
Whether this beauty referred to the night sky or the person, was left unsaid.
Perhaps the night was just too enchanting or perhaps it was the alcohol.
An Mingji stepped behind Gu Jin, gently drawing her into an embrace.
Gu Jin lowered her gaze, looking at the hand around her waist, her eyes shimmering with light.
