Preparing meals at sea could be both simple and troublesome. Simple, if you just wanted a basic meal, then not much preparation was needed.
But if you wanted to eat well and exquisitely.
Then it really took a lot of effort!
The food Melissa and her team prepared naturally required careful preparation, so they had been busy early on.
Only three female crew members remained with Rhodey and the others, helping out on the side.
However, there wasn't really much to help Rhodey with.
Gwen and Daisy could be helped with pulling the fishing rods, but Rhodey wasn't getting any bites at all, so he could only watch bored as Gwen and the others had so much fun.
Around 5 PM in the evening.
Melissa's food was almost ready.
And Rhodey finally got a bite!
"Who just said I'd come back empty-handed?"
Rhodey held up a grouper he had caught and said to the two women over there.
"Just a small grouper, look how proud you are!"
Daisy said with a smile, "Look at what we caught, that's called fishing! Yours is at most called feeding the fish."
Feeding the fish was too much!
Rhodey felt his heart instantly pierced by a knife.
He tossed the fish in his hand into the Water tank, then went over, picked up Daisy in a horizontal embrace, and directly raised his hand to give her two smacks.
"Wah~! What are you doing? Put me down!"
Daisy struggled and even asked Gwen for help.
With great difficulty, Gwen came forward and rescued her, but the girl was still defiant, hiding behind Gwen and making a face at Rhodey, while rubbing the spot that had just been hit.
It didn't really hurt, after all, Rhodey hadn't used real force.
It was just playing around.
But Daisy had a different kind of feeling; her smiling face was rosy in the sunset, and she didn't know if it was from the sunset? Or for some other reason.
The sky over the sea quickly darkened.
Rhodey and the others also came to the third-floor deck to begin their dinner.
The dinner prepared by Melissa and her team was incredibly rich.
The three of them praised it endlessly.
Melissa and her team were also very happy to hear it. The group chatted and ate and drank, and time flew by quickly.
Around 9 PM.
Rhodey and the others were ready to rest.
The yacht would continue to sail at a slow, constant speed on the sea during the night, and they would arrive at their next target location by early morning tomorrow.
...
They would play for another day then, and when it got dark, they could start heading back.
They would basically be back at New York's dock by tomorrow afternoon.
On the yacht, in the master bedroom on the lower deck.
Gwen and Daisy were lying on the bed, their heads peeking out, looking at the seabed through the glass below.
Lights shone from beneath the yacht, allowing them to see the underwater scenery even in the dark of night.
At this moment, the two of them were looking at the fish in the Water and chatting about which fish was easier to catch.
When Rhodey came in and saw both of them, he also went over.
"What are you chatting about?"
Rhodey asked.
Daisy glanced at him, snorted, and said, "We're talking about things you wouldn't understand, after all, you're a big shot at coming back empty-handed."
After saying that, Daisy couldn't help but laugh.
Gwen, next to her, also covered her mouth and chuckled a few times.
A big shot at coming back empty-handed, really?
Rhodey feigned raising his hand to hit her.
Daisy was so scared that she quickly ran and hid behind Gwen.
"If you hit me again, I'll... I'll..."
"What are you going to do then?"
Rhodey glared, feigning fierceness.
Daisy snorted and pulled Gwen, saying, "Gwen, look, your boyfriend is bullying me again, you have to help me!"
She looked pitiful.
Gwen also took the opportunity to pat Rhodey, telling him not to bully Daisy.
"Alright, hurry back to your own room, we need to rest."
Rhodey said to Daisy impatiently.
He was directly kicking her out.
"I'm not leaving, I'm sleeping here tonight!"
Daisy lay back and refused to move.
"Alright, then don't leave."
Saying that, Rhodey sneered at her a few times, then pulled Gwen and pretended to lie down to rest.
Daisy's face immediately turned red when she saw this.
She quickly got up, glared at Rhodey, and then huffily ran out the door back to her own room.
"Oh, you~! How old are you, and you still only know how to bully Daisy."
Gwen patted Rhodey a few times impatiently and said.
"It's fine, she's tough, nothing to be afraid of."
Rhodey said with a smile.
Gwen couldn't help but roll her eyes at him upon hearing this, and before she could say anything more, she saw Rhodey turn off the underwater light, then turn and lean closer.
The night passed without a word.
Rhodey and the others got up early the next morning.
Gwen pulled Daisy to watch the sunrise over the sea.
Rhodey, on the other hand, went to greet Melissa and the others, and also asked about the navigation route.
After confirming there were no issues, Rhodey turned and came to Gwen and the others, accompanying them to watch the sunrise.
