Not long after, the doctor came running over. Once he understood what had happened, he looked quite shocked as well. There are electric eels in the sea, and plenty of kinds, but... there aren’t many people who actually get zapped by one. Same with people getting stung by a Stingray—it doesn’t happen much, especially nearshore, because there aren’t many of those fish there, let alone someone getting shocked this badly.

But since the young lady had given the order, the doctor still had to carry it out. He disinfected Li Yifei, did a simple debridement, bandaged him up. Then the fat chef found a piece of clothing and temporarily draped it over Li Yifei. The clothes were his; Li Yifei’s build was solid, sure, but he wasn’t fat, so on him the clothes looked baggy and oversized.

"You are not going out to catch fish tomorrow!" the woman said, sounding a bit distressed.

Li Yifei raised his head. "You don’t want the fish anymore?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"I do, but I don’t need you to catch them. You just focus on recovering. Even if you don’t catch fish, I’ll still pay you the same as today!" the woman said.

"That’s not really right, I can’t take money for nothing." Li Yifei shook his head.

"You’re already like this, how are you supposed to go back into the sea?" the woman asked.

"It’s fine, I’ve got thick skin and tough meat, I’ll be fine in a few days!" Li Yifei said. Right at this moment, he actually had a good impression of this rich woman—oh, correction, this rich and beautiful woman. After all, even though she was a bit obsessive, she was a good person to him and Chen Junxiao. Just the income from these two days had gotten the two of them through this rough patch. To think that he, a dignified hundred-billion-level tycoon, was bending over backward just for a bite to eat...

"Eat first. After you eat, you rest!" the woman said, not giving him any room to argue.

"I’ll skip the meal. The two of us still need to go buy some things to take home."

"What do you need to buy? I’ll have someone get it for you!" the woman said.

"That would be way too embarrassing!"

"I really like eating lobster. You’ve caught two wild lobsters in a row for me, so just treat it as me thanking you!" the woman said.

Well... fine then. Li Yifei nodded and listed out the things he wanted to buy. Besides some meat and ingredients, there were some daily necessities—nothing hard to get. The woman directly called over a security guard and told him what to buy. The guard immediately nodded and ran out to purchase everything.

Alright then, we’ll stay and eat. Li Yifei said to himself in his heart. Chen Junxiao naturally had no objections; she didn’t understand much of anything yet and wasn’t sensitive to certain issues. Under the woman’s burning gaze, Li Yifei silently chanted "Amitabha" in his head. My dear wives, your husband is currently being pestered by some fangirl of a crazy woman for who-knows-what reason. Hope she knows when to stop, otherwise your husband might just have to represent the moon and eliminate...

Once he entered the villa, Li Yifei realized that the décor of this place was even more exquisite than his own villa. All the furniture and arrangements inside had great taste and high class—in other words, everything screamed expensive.

This villa alone was probably worth several tens of millions, and with all the furnishings inside, it must cost even more.

He nodded to himself in secret, treating it as a chance to tour someone else’s villa. He watched as the woman led him into a huge living room and had him sit down, also motioning for Chen Junxiao to sit. Then someone brought over fresh fruit. Li Yifei picked up two pieces and handed one to Chen Junxiao.

The little girl watched Li Yifei take big bites. She said thank you to the woman, then started nibbling on her own fruit.

Normally, the woman almost never ate fruit, but seeing the two of them eating with such gusto across from her, she suddenly felt hungry too. She licked her lips, bent over to pick one up, and started eating as well.

"Your waist really can’t go into the water again. You must listen to me!" the woman said.

"Then I won’t come sell you fish tomorrow," Li Yifei said.

"No, no, you still come. I’ll give you the money!" The woman misunderstood what he meant. He was trying to say that tomorrow he’d sell to someone else instead. The income would be a bit less, but for Li Yifei and Chen Junxiao right now, having a million in hand and having a thousand in hand meant basically the same thing. As long as they had meat and vegetables at every meal, both of them were quite satisfied. So even if they couldn’t earn this extra money, it didn’t really matter.

"I’ll catch the fish, you give the money. Otherwise I’ll feel really bad about it!" Li Yifei reiterated.

The woman got anxious. "But what if you run into another electric eel? What if your wound gets worse?"

Li Yifei tossed away the fruit pit and patted his forehead. "Miss, did you really mistake me for someone else and take me for another person? This isn’t good for you. When you finally realize I’m not actually the guy you know and then take it out on me, a small fry like me has zero ability to fight back!"

The woman froze. Hearing what Li Yifei said, she seemed to fall into deep thought. Her eyes didn’t move for a good one or two minutes before she finally said, "You have a point. But at the moment I collapsed just now, what you did was exactly the same as what that person did."

No way I saved you before, right? Li Yifei secretly thought to himself. In his memory, he hadn’t done any such thing. He had saved plenty of people, but he had no impression of this woman. Besides, how could it be such a coincidence that he saved her and then ran into her here? If it really was some life-saving incident, then he should at least be a hero. How could he have fallen this low and then be recognized by the other party—totally ruins the image. Li Yifei thought to himself with a bit of narcissism.

Thinking of this, Li Yifei said, "Just a coincidence, I guess."

"No, I believe in fate. I believe that’s a huge, incredible connection between us!" the woman said seriously. She was just about to keep talking when Li Yifei’s stomach suddenly rumbled loudly. Her words were forced back down her throat. She actually wasn’t completely sure that Li Yifei was the person she was looking for. In fact, not to mention completely—she wasn’t even fifty percent sure. At most she was twenty or thirty percent sure. Otherwise, would she still be this hesitant? She would’ve pounced on him already!

Hearing his stomach growl, the woman swallowed her words. After a long moment, she finally said, "Let’s eat first."

Li Yifei kept a straight face and nodded.

Only the three of them had lunch. Chen Junxiao sat between the two, the woman sat opposite. Li Yifei took one look at the two lobsters and knew that she hadn’t eaten the one from yesterday either, and had them both cooked today.

Everything in this house was so unfamiliar to Chen Junxiao, he had never seen anything like it. Sitting at the spotless dining table, looking at the indescribably beautiful tableware, chewing on the lobster meat Li Yifei had peeled for him!

"Did you used to eat lobster a lot?" the woman asked.

Liu Yifei glanced at the woman and said, "I can catch them every day, so of course I can eat them every day."

The woman nodded. No matter how delicious the food in her mouth was, it couldn’t stir her interest. But if the man in front of her was the one she’d been looking for, that would be the most wonderful thing in the world for her.

"Come to think of it, I still don’t know your name!" The woman picked up a napkin and gracefully wiped her mouth. In fact, she hadn’t eaten much either. Half of the two lobsters had gone into Chen Junxiao’s stomach, and the other half had been finished off by Li Yifei. In other words, the lobsters she’d spent so much money on yesterday and today, she hadn’t actually eaten herself; Li Yifei and Chen Junxiao not only took her money, they also ate the lobster.

Li Yifei lifted his head, hesitating over whether to tell her his real name. After a brief pause, he still said, "My name is Li Yifei."

"Oh." The woman didn’t seem to have much reaction to this very ordinary name. She sounded a bit disappointed as she said, "I’m Hu Yu’er."

"Nice name, it sounds good." Li Yifei nodded.

"Your name is special too—soaring in one flight."

"That’s true. When my parents gave me this name, they hoped I would soar in one flight." Li Yifei said with a slightly shameless grin.

"So did you manage to soar?" Hu Yu’er asked.

Li Yifei wiped his hands and said, "Yeah, I flew, and pretty high at that."

"How high?"

"Why don’t you and I ride the same wind, and soar ninety thousand miles together?" Li Yifei quoted a line that had been trending on Twitter lately. The woman frowned and took several seconds to react before she understood what he meant. Her two pretty eyebrows knitted, then relaxed, and she said, "I’m trying to have a serious conversation with you."

"Alright, I’ll answer you seriously. I’m just an ordinary person, one among the masses—not above anyone, and not beneath anyone either." Li Yifei said.

The woman sighed inwardly. The man in front of her was very different from the one in her memory. Even though he gave her the same feeling, in the end there was still a difference. Thinking of this, she said calmly, "Yeah, everyone’s equal. The only difference is I eat delicacies from the mountains and seas till I’m full, while he eats coarse tea and plain rice till he’s stuffed."

"When it comes to getting full, it’s all the same." Li Yifei said, picking up the ladle and serving himself a bowl of soup. Thanks to Hu Yu’er, he’d really replenished his nutrition these last two days. His body had completely recovered, so as he ladled the soup, he added a line silently in his heart: If I had a choice, I’d still rather be rich. You only live once, and if you’re not born with a lot, then you have to work hard to get a lot, because the way the rich live and the way the poor live are really worlds apart.

"Do you want some?" Li Yifei asked when he noticed Hu Yu’er was still staring at him.

"Your hand..."

"Hm?"

"Your hand looks a lot like his."

"All men’s hands are the same—rough." Li Yifei smiled faintly, sat down, and slowly drank his soup.

Since Chen Junxiao couldn’t understand anyway, he figured he might as well say nothing and just quietly eat.

When the meal was over, Li Yifei was ready to take his leave, but the woman said there was still something else, and asked him not to go yet.

"What is it?" Li Yifei asked.

Hu Yu’er didn’t answer. She walked ahead of them, heading toward the back of the villa. Li Yifei held little Chen Junxiao’s hand and followed behind. This woman was acting all mysterious, and he still didn’t know her identity, so of course he couldn’t guess what she was up to. Mm, she’d better not set her sights on me, or if I get pissed, the consequences will be very serious.

When they reached the back of the villa, there was a swimming pool there, quite large, with all the surrounding facilities complete. Hu Yu’er didn’t slow her pace. She walked around the pool to an open area, clapped her hands, and a few burly men with thick necks and broad shoulders walked out from the side, all wearing sunglasses, each with a hostile expression, muscles coiled and bulging, looking downright intimidating.

The moment Li Yifei saw Hu Yu’er call those men out, he guessed what she wanted to do. He sighed inwardly, but on the surface he stopped and asked, "What are you trying to do?"
