At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?-Chapter 384 - 383 Deputy Captain Yang Hua
Gu Yu was leaning on the railing of the deck, gazing out at the vast sea.
The dizziness had completely vanished, and he felt incredibly good now, even under the illusion that he could control the sea.
Even, he wanted to jump off the ship and embrace the sea closely.
But he wouldn’t do anything so foolish; he knew it was just an illusion brought on by the improvement to his constitution.
Jumping from the deck, over ten meters high, without drowning, the impact of the water alone could knock him unconscious.
When the height above the water exceeds ten meters, the surface can cause harm to a person.
"You’re not seasick anymore?" Lin Xinyue, looking at Gu Yu with his arms wide open, embracing the sea breeze with abandon, couldn’t help but show some surprise on her face.
Had Gu Yu really adapted to seasickness so quickly?
Gu Yu turned around, pulled her into his arms, and then offered a mysterious smile, "I told you! Now I’m an excellent sailor!"
"..."
Lin Xinyue rolled her eyes heavily.
Who ever heard of someone becoming a sailor just because they were only seasick for a while?
She just felt that it must be because of Gu Yu’s excellent constitution, coupled with the good air circulation on the deck, that he had somewhat adapted.
Seeing his girlfriend didn’t believe him, Gu Yu didn’t bother explaining.
"The two of you, please stay away from the railings, as the ship is preparing to set sail now; be mindful of your safety."
While Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue were enjoying the seascape, a soldier dressed in a snow-white navy uniform approached them, saluting them very politely as a reminder.
"Okay, thank you for the reminder," Gu Yu turned around and obediently walked away from the railing with Xinyue.
No sooner had they taken a few steps than the departure bells rang simultaneously from every corner of the medical ship.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Soldiers began to run, each returning to their respective stations.
The doctors who had boarded the ship earlier, along with those others who were taking the Ark for various reasons, soon gathered in the middle of the deck.
Each person instinctively looked up at the red flag above the captain’s cabin.
Although the Ark had only just started, that red flag had already begun to flutter briskly.
"Hello, everyone, I am Yang Hua, the Deputy Captain of the Ark. I’m very pleased to embark on this journey with all of you once again, and I wish everyone a perfect voyage,"
"The Ark is about to depart. If anyone encounters any issues during the voyage, please seek help from the crew or call the captain’s cabin hotline."
"While the Ark is in motion, please steer clear of the deck edges to prevent any danger..."
"Shortly, someone will arrange for everyone to go to their rest cabins, so please wait for a moment."
"..."
A voice Gu Yu found somewhat familiar came through the loudspeaker overhead.
If he remembered correctly, this Deputy Captain Yang Hua should be the same officer he had seen before in Old Dai’s office,
The one who had reviewed his boarding at that time.
"We’re about to set off~" Lin Xinyue, watching the white waves stirred up by the Ark’s departure, couldn’t help getting excited.
It wasn’t that she had never traveled abroad.
But to voyage across the ocean on a legendary vessel was an entirely new experience, and that novelty made her heart pound.
More importantly, she had Gu Yu by her side.
She glanced sideways, stealing a look at Gu Yu, while he was staring blankly at the red flag.
"What are you thinking about?" seeing him lost in thought without moving, Lin Xinyue swung her hand in front of his eyes to catch his attention.
Gu Yu finally snapped back to reality and pointed at the red flag, smiling as he said, "Once the ship leaves the territorial waters, our greatest confidence will be the motherland behind us."
"As long as there’s the red flag, if we encounter difficulties, the motherland will surely take us back home."

Lin Xinyue’s eyes widened slightly upon hearing Gu Yu’s words, and a sense of pride involuntarily surged in her heart.
The people around, upon hearing Gu Yu’s words, couldn’t help but nod in agreement.
"If the young people today could all have such awareness, that would be wonderful."
A few elders, appearing to be in their fifties or sixties, watched Gu Yu with smiles.
Gu Yu turned around and greeted them with a smile.
Those who could stand on this ship had definitely made many contributions to the country.
Although he didn’t recognize their faces, Gu Yu knew that in the unseen corners, it was them who carried the burdens forward.
"This is the most basic recognition as a Huaxia person, and I believe that most of the young people like me also have the same awareness."
Gu Yu was neither servile nor overbearing, and he didn’t take this opportunity to sing his own praises.
"Indeed! Even though young people often complain, they actually love their motherland very much," an old man with a face full of liver spots, severely sagging skin, gaunt but with an erect posture, emerged from behind that group of elders.
"Young man, what’s your name? On the Ark, apart from those officer cadets, it is rare to see such a young face like yours! You must be in your early twenties, right?"
The old man, wearing a white robe with completely white hair and a kindly smile, asked Gu Yu for his name.
Gu Yu, with his keen perception, noticed that following the arrival of this old man, those few elders had automatically stepped back a little, indicating that this person in front of him was definitely a top-tier figure.
He looked to be in his seventies or eighties, and still accompanying the Ark at this age, he must be a leader in a certain medical field!
Gu Yu dared not show any neglect and quickly bowed as he said, "Elder, my name is Gu Yu."
"Hmm... I’ve noted that."
Academician Hou pursed his lips and nodded, examining Gu Yu as if he was seriously committing Gu Yu’s name to memory.
A group of middle-aged people who had been watching the situation here showed surprised looks on their faces upon seeing the old man speaking with Gu Yu, and younger ones even had a hint of envy in their eyes.
"May I be so bold as to ask your esteemed surname?"
After telling his own name, Gu Yu promptly inquired about the other person’s name.
Hou Yun said indifferently, "My surname is Hou, just Hou, and my name is simply Yun."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yu murmured to himself, "Hou Yun? That name sounds so familiar..."
Before he could remember, Lin Xinyue suddenly covered her mouth in shock and said, "I remember now, you’re Academician Hou! I’ve seen reports about you on the news."
"Academician!?" Gu Yu’s expression stiffened, his mind raced, and he quickly thought of a news piece from a while back, a contagious disease outbreak in a certain region, Huaxia Science Department Medical Academician Hou Yun visited the front line... Read the latest on novelbuddy
That Hou Yun was the very old man before him!
"No need to be so surprised, it’s all just an empty title," Hou Yun seemed not to like people mentioning his title and waved his hand dismissively.
"I’m a bit tired, I’m going to rest. Young people, I have high hopes for you."
Hou Yun didn’t continue conversing with Gu Yu but turned around and, with a profound and heartfelt remark, expressed his expectations.
Then he walked away slowly through the narrow path that the crowd automatically cleared for him, refusing assistance when someone came to aid him.
"Didn’t expect him to be such a stubborn old man."
Watching him shrug off the hands that reached out to assist him, Gu Yu couldn’t help but have the corners of his mouth lift slightly.
At the same time, he looked forward to this journey even more.
On this ship, there truly were hidden dragons and crouching tigers!
