Chen An slightly raised his eyebrows when a white sailboat appeared in front of him.
Laid up for two days, Chen An was up and around, and Ivanov, whether he liked it or not, would come to see him every day in the following week, eating, watching TV, going to the gym, or taking a walk on the island with him.
Presumably because the island seemed so heavily-guarded that Chen An was unable to escape even with wings, Ivanov did not restrict his personal freedom. The bodyguards in his defense would leave him alone as long as Chen An uttered "Don"t follow me".
Chen An was puzzled by Ivanov"s action, and his perplexity grew when Ivanov took him to the dock after the doctor told him one morning that he recovered from illness.
"Are you moving your base?" Chen An saw Ivanov jump in a sailboat.
Things like relocating had happened to him when Lu Feng put him under house arrest. He was rendered unconscious and taken to another island every three months; even his old subordinates failed to find him out despite their effort.
Chen An believed that Chen Yang and Ding Sheng must be looking for him, and perhaps Ivanov intended to take him off the island just in case they would trace him.
"Baby, we aren"t moving, but going on honeymoon at sea." Ivanov winked at Chen An, grinning broadly, and reached out his hand to pull Chen An over, "Go out to sea or stay on the island— your choice."
Going on honeymoon at sea?
Chen An hesitated for a moment and gave Ivanov a slap on the hand. Then he jumped in the sailboat which looked quite large and sauntered along the boat.
There was a bathroom, a kitchen and two bedrooms in the cabin. Chen An cast a glance inside and found that the boat came so complete with a variety of tools that they would have no problem even if going on an ocean voyage. But why Ivanov took him to the boat? To take him out and go for a trip in case he got bored on the island?
While he was pondering, the boat shook gently. Chen An walked out of the cabin and saw the sailboat was going far away from the port and approaching the sea. White waves broke on both sides of the hull, and the wind mixed with the seawater bathed people on board, bringing a smell of sea.
As far as the eye can see was the great ocean stretching away to meet the sky, and the land behind seemed a phantom as the boat advanced.
Having been restricted in the island for too long, Chen An couldn"t help but close his eyes when his clothes was blowing in the cool breeze. It seemed that he could fly like a seagull once he outstretched his arms.
"You"ve recovered just now. Don"t get in a draught, or you"ll catch a cold. It"s no joke falling ill at sea." Ivanov suddenly hugged Chen from behind and said smiling, "Is that movie like this? What"s the name? t.i.tanic?"
Chen An could hardly keep his feet when Ivanov gave him a bear-hug. He caught hold of Ivanov"s hand from his waist, saying angrily, "t.i.tanic finally sank, and the hero also died. Plus, take your hand away."
"Well, if I were him, I would never let you go. I would only live with you, or die with you." Ivanov held Chen An tightly, deliberately kissed the nape of Chen An"s neck and smiled joyfully, "Old Fox, will you have a relations.h.i.+p with me? You can regard the two billion dollars as the bride price and the bullet you gave me as our pledge of love."
"Get out!"
