At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?-Chapter 381 - 380: The Sea

Gu Yu, vomiting over the toilet in the restaurant bathroom for the third time, realized that seasickness could happen even to those with excellent physical health.

He had thought that frequently taking the ferry on the Huangpu River as a child, combined with his good constitution, would prevent him from getting seasick.

But as soon as he entered the restaurant with Dai Zhengguo and three elderly men, and saw the roasted meat served on the table, his stomach began to protest first.

After a wave of nausea that progressed from mild to violent, he became inseparable best friends with the bathroom toilet.

After vomiting everything he had eaten for lunch, only a clear yellow stomach fluid remained.

"Ugh~ugh~"

After dry heaving twice more due to acid reflux, Gu Yu pressed the flush button.

Pale-faced, he staggered out of the bathroom, leaning on the wall as if he was about to collapse, where he met Lin Xinyue, who looked worried at the doorway.

Unlike Gu Yu, she barely had any physical reaction...

Looking at his girlfriend’s worried face, Gu Yu sighed inwardly with resignation.

Indeed, one could not generalize about everyone’s constitution.

"Are you okay...?" Lin Xinyue quickly supported Gu Yu’s arm with her left hand, then pulled out a tissue she had prepared earlier from her pocket to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Do I look like I’m okay?"

Gu Yu looked at Lin Xinyue with a resentful expression, wondering if now was really the best time to ask him that.

Lin Xinyue gave an embarrassed smile but still rolled her eyes at him, "I didn’t expect you to get seasick this badly."

"I didn’t expect it either... Aren’t you dizzy? I feel like the floor is swaying from side to side when I look at it."

Gu Yu looked miserable and was also very curious why Lin Xinyue was completely fine.

"A tiny bit, but I’m alright."

Lin Xinyue lightly tapped her temples, a relaxed expression on her face.

She wouldn’t tell Gu Yu that during the summer, she often surfed at the beach with Hu Xiaoya, and also went out to sea with fishermen for sightseeing...

Seeing Gu Yu looking so dejected, she couldn’t help but feel a little gleeful inside.

At last, there was something she was better at than Gu Yu!

"You must have been a sailor in your past life...!" Read new adventures at novelbuddy

Gu Yu was incredibly envious—how could someone not get seasick!

With Lin Xinyue’s help, Gu Yu returned to the dining room and saw Dai Zhengguo and the three elderly men thoroughly enjoying their meal, which made his stomach churn again, almost causing him to vomit once more.

But thankfully, he held it together this time.

These three elders had clearly been on the Ark before, their composed appearance heightening his envy.

Dai Zhengguo, having just finished eating, picked up a pre-arranged wet dining tissue to wipe his mouth, and then looked at Gu Yu with a mischievous grin, his gaze seeming to say, "Look who’s having a hard time now?"

Gu Yu ignored his schadenfreude gaze and carelessly found a seat to sit down by the side.

Out of sight, out of mind, he stared at the majestic sea through the window.

Just then, a female waitress in the restaurant came over and handed him a cup of warm water.

"Sir, drinking some water might help."

The restaurant server, with a smile and practiced grace, was evidently used to seeing cases like Gu Yu.

Yet, her gaze lingered a bit longer on Gu Yu’s face.

It was her first time seeing this new face on the Ark—she just didn’t know what his status was.

"Thank you."

Gu Yu weakly expressed his thanks and quickly took a small sip.

The warm water flowed into his mouth, soothing the fiery pain in his throat caused by the acidic stomach fluid significantly.

The waiter nodded gently and withdrew, and Gu Yu continued to gaze at the sea.

Although it wasn’t his first time seeing the sea, it was the first time he was seeing it while being at sea.

The feeling was different.

Standing on the shore, with land behind him, while at sea, he was surrounded by endless waters.

Upon reflection, it gave one a faint sense of emptiness and fear.

"Woooo—beep beep—"

A series of urgent and prolonged horn sounds blared, followed by another, slightly sharper horn sound intertwining.

Through the restaurant’s porthole, Gu Yu saw the boat that had brought him aboard was slowly retracting its gangway and then gradually moving away from the Ark.

Many people were waving goodbye towards them.

As the ferry moved, a lot of white foam appeared on the surface of the water, and as the ferry turned direction, the foam was smoothed out into a glass-like flat sea surface.

Watching the ferry rapidly recede amid the sound of horns.

Gu Yu knew that his sea journey had officially begun.

The Ark didn’t immediately set sail, and he could see quite a few navy soldiers arranged in lines on the deck, interchanging in some sort of preparatory work.

Indeed, after a while, the officer who had greeted Dai Zhengguo at the docking port appeared at the entrance of the restaurant.

He straightened his already neat uniform and then, wearing a smile, strode towards, precisely, Dai Zhengguo’s side.

Gu Yu’s gaze fell on the military rank on his shoulder.

Two gold bars, four stars!

Major General!

Gu Yu subconsciously thought about standing up, but it seemed that the other party noticed his movement, simply giving him a smile, and Gu Yu didn’t stand up.

Just a look, and Gu Yu understood his intentions.

The pressure was immense!

"Did the officer scare you?" Lin Xinyue noticed Gu Yu’s attempt to stand up and moved closer to whisper in his ear with a laugh.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yu replied in a low voice, defensively, "How could I be scared? I’m just too seasick to muster the strength in my legs."

Lin Xinyue looked at his stubborn, defensive demeanor, couldn’t help but purse her lips, but she didn’t expose him.

She only secretly stuck out her tongue and muttered to herself in a voice that only she could hear, "When did this guy start caring about face so much~"

"Three esteemed doctors, it’s been over a year since we last met, hasn’t it?"

Although Du Zhenhua had noticed Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue, he still passed them by, smiling warmly as he greeted Dai Zhengguo and others.

After all, in his eyes, these three were the real VIPs.

In contrast, Gu Yu was treated like someone brought aboard by these three, similar to an apprentice; although rare on the Ark, it wasn’t unprecedented.

Carrying a few disciples, given the reputation of people like Dai Zhengguo, was quite normal.

He didn’t mind; the young people who could get on the ship were the pillars of the nation’s future, and getting experience was a good thing.

Thus, Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue were left aside while Du Zhenhua warmed up to Dai Zhengguo and the others.

Gu Yu was actually relieved, not really knowing how to converse had he been directly facing this high-ranking boss.

Surely not with questions like "Have you eaten?" "Isn’t this ship huge?" "Don’t you get seasick?" right?

Without speaking, Gu Yu felt like an idiot.

While Old Dai and others were having a joyous conversation with the Major General, Gu Yu, feeling uninterested after watching the sea for a while, stood up intending to take a walk on the deck with Lin Xinyue.

As he was putting down his water cup, he heard Dai Zhengguo behind him mention his name.

"Gu Yu, that’s the kid."
