Chapter 75: First-timer

Su Ruan walked around the pickup truck and helped Ma Yu Xi to pick up some equipment in the cargo space. She looked around the lake and finally, her gaze fell on the cabin cruiser not too far away from them.

From the distance, she could see Long Fei, standing on the boat, looking in her direction.

"Miss Su, Miss Ma, you're here."

Hearing the voice, Su Ruan retracted her gaze and saw Long Yu Heng walking over towards them. "Mr. Long, hello." Su Ruan greeted him politely.

Long Yu Heng exchanged a brief greeting with her. Then, he looked at Ma Yu Xi. "Do you need any help?"

Ma Yu Xi did not reject his offer. Long Yu Heng helped the girls to carry their belongings and led them towards their boat.

As they approached the boat, Su Ruan realized that there was no one else other than the four of them. "It's just us?" Su Ruan whispered to Ma Yu Xi.

"Sister Ruan, we are going to head to a secret fishing spot. Of course, it would be better if there are not many people coming with us."

Su Ruan glanced at her cousin and began to worry that the girl was going to fall for some bad guy's trick. Despite saying that she had never had any interaction with the Long family members before, the girl was too trusting.

"Miss Su, Miss Ma, good morning."

Long Fei's voice snapped her out of her thought. Su Ruan looked up and saw that Long Fei was extending his hand towards her. She shot him a puzzled look, wondering what he was up to.

"Let me help you with your belongings."

Su Ruan followed his gaze and finally realized that she was holding a few stuff in her hand. It would be a little troublesome for her to climb abroad with her hands full.

She passed her stuff at him and was about to step on the boat when she noticed that Long Fei was holding her hand, pulling her up onto the boat. Before she could raise her head to look at him, the man had already pulled his hand away.

At the side, Long Yu Heng began to show them around the boat.

It was the first time that both Su Ruan and Ma Yu Xi had been on a cruise cabin and they could not help but look around. The cabin cruise was spacious enough for the four of them and was quite comfortable.

"Here, put this on."

Su Ruan turned to the voice and saw Long Fei handed her over a life jacket. She put the jacket on her body and adjusted her hair. "Thank you."

"Miss Su, is this your first time on a boat?"

"Uh-huh."

"Do you know how to swim?"

Su Ruan thought of the day she had fallen into the lake and was almost drowned. "I'm not a very good swimmer."

Long Fei's lips curled into a faint smile. "Then, you should stick closer to me. The ride might not be that smooth for a first-timer."

Seeing that her cousin had followed Long Yu Heng to the other side of the boat, Su Ruan decided to follow Long Fei and sat in the cabin.

The engine started and soon, the boat began to move on the water.

Su Ruan watched the scenery around the lake in awe. In just a few minutes, she began to lower her guards as she became too fascinated with the view. She wanted to go out and look around but was too scared of falling in the water while the boat was still moving.

This trip also made her realize that the lake was bigger than she had thought. With its size, it was not a strange thing for the dragon to live in the water and had never been found by anyone before.

Half an hour later, the boat finally slowed down. Su Ruan turned to Long Fei and saw that the man was looking at her.

"Miss Su, if you are feeling uncomfortable, you can tell me. I'm sure that we have some medicine in this place."

"Thank you, President Long. But I think I'm good now."

His lips curled into a helpless smile. "Just call me Long Fei. President Long made me feel as if I am still in my office."

Seeing the way Long Fei was staring at her, Su Ruan began to hesitate before she called, "Long Fei."

The corner of his lips stretched up and Long Fei began to look away.

The boat finally came to a stop.

Once her ground was no longer moving, Su Ruan finally stood up and tried to walk around slowly. However, she soon realized that the buoyancy made her legs feel a little shaky. Su Ruan could only hold the wall to stabilize herself.

"Hold on to me first."

Su Ruan turned and saw Long Fei's strong arm. She looked up again and saw the man smiling at her.

"This is the first time you're on a boat. It will probably take time before you can get used to it," Long Fei said. "Don't be afraid. I will help you."

Su Ruan wanted to decline but thought that it would be better to have someone to help her rather than walking around, looking pathetic.

After a brief hesitation, Su Ruan finally held on to his arm. A strange feeling traveled through her body as her hand touched his skin. However, before she could pull her hand away, Long Fei had already walked and she had no choice but to follow him.

The two of them finally arrived at the side of the boat and Su Ruan released her grip around Long Fei's arm and hold the railing instead.

A breath of relief escaped her. Su Ruan looked at the water and was surprised at how clear the water was. She could almost see the fish swimming around the boat.

Her eyes lit up and Su Ruan began to wonder if she would be able to see her little friend.

"You seemed fascinated by the water."

Su Ruan looked at the man beside her and smiled to hide her thoughts. "I have never seen the water so clear. The lake is beautiful."

Long Fei was about to say something when Ma Yu Xi's voice could be heard from upstairs.

"Sister Ruan, come up here. The view over here is prettier." Ma Yu Xi's head popped out briefly before she disappeared again.

Su Ruan looked up and wondered if it would be safe to sit upstairs. She was still trying to get used to walking around the boat.

"Your cousin is a lively person," Long Fei said.

Su Ran chuckled at his words. "Mhm.. you are right."

"Since this is your first time on the boat, I take it that you have never gone fishing before," Long Fei raised a brow.

"Yes."

Long Fei stared at her face for a few seconds longer before he spoke again, "Come on.. I'll teach you."
