Chapter 141
"Morning, Brother Nan!"
Roxie Lin rubbed her eyes and came downstairs.
"Morning."
Samson Nan glanced at the time and then at her.
"Where's Raina Nan?"
"Little Rain? I don't know... Maybe she hasn't woken up yet."
"Still sleeping? What time is it..."
He sighed lightly and stood up, heading upstairs.
When he arrived in front of her room, the door was still closed. Without much thought, he opened the door and called inside:
"Little One, what time are you planning to sleep until?"
Perhaps because it was too cold, the white sheets on the bed were bundled up into a lump, and he couldn't even see her face clearly.
He walked to the bedside and abruptly pulled back the sheets.
"Get up!"
"...?!"
But the next second, he was dumbfounded.
Lying on the bed was not Raina Nan...
"..."
Jocelyn York opened her sleepy eyes wide and looked at him.
"Sorry... I thought it was Raina Nan."
He panicked a bit and quickly stepped back.
Although she was already holding the sheets to her chest, it seemed too late...
"..."
She didn't know what to say for a moment, and her face turned red all the way to her ears.
Hesitantly, she looked to the side, then stole a glance at him.
"It's, it's alright..."
"Well then, I'll go down first..."
He was extremely embarrassed and mumbled as he was about to leave, but before he finished speaking...
Click.
The flash on Bell Tong's phone went off.
"Oh, I captured something interesting..."
Bell Tong stood by the doorway, one hand in her bag and the other holding her phone.
"..."
The two people in the room stood still.
After a while, Samson Nan snapped back to his senses and walked up to her.
"Give me the phone."
He held out his hand, looking expressionless at her.
"Are you sure?"
"Ah."
"Just take it, it was just a joke... no fun~"
"..."
Surprisingly, Bell Tong didn't hesitate this time and directly handed him the phone.
"Well, I've already uploaded it to the cloud..."
"..."
Samson Nan froze for a moment, then pulled her outside.
Pressing his hand on her shoulder, he showed a slight smile.
"What? Are you up to something?"
"Haha, Feng Ge, you're overthinking it."
Bell Tong also smiled and moved his hand away.
"Am I such a despicable person in your heart? Besides..."
She lowered her voice and leaned in closer.
"You two didn't really do anything, so why are you so panicked?"
"..."
He really didn't need to panic, but if it was Bell Tong, who knows...
"Do you have something up your sleeve?"
"Don't be ridiculous, just delete the photo."
"Delete it? You have to beg me... Ouch!"
Before Bell Tong could finish her sentence, her shoulder was gripped by his hand.
"You jerk! Seems like you haven't figured out the current situation, huh?"
"What situation?"
"Hmph~ What situation? Let me explain..."
Bell Tong showed a mischievous smile, taking a step back with the phone in her hand.
"If I just shake my little hand like this, Raina's phone will receive a high-definition uncensored photo. Then... boom! It explodes. That scene, tsk tsk tsk~"
"Bell Tong, don't make jokes like this. You know she'll take it seriously..."
He spoke with a weaker tone compared to before.
"Oh~~ scared now, huh?"
"..."
"Well... isn't this called nuclear deterrence?... Ugh, I'm so annoyed, am I a genius or what?"
"Just enough, don't go too far."
"Too far? Didn't you do the same to me during the school trip? Why didn't you think it was too far back then?"
"..."
Samson Nan fell silent. This guy really keeps grudges...
"Can't mess with you, can't mess with you."
He walked by her, talking as he strode.
"Hmph, good to know!"
"Well..."
At this moment, Jocelyn York finally finished dressing and walked out of the room.
"Good morning, sister Luojia."
"Um..."
She nodded and reached up to tidy her slightly messy hair.
"Xiaoling, well..."
She hesitated, seeming to want to say something.
"~"
Bell Tong understood her concern and placed her phone in front of her.
"The photo has been deleted."
It was displayed like that on the screen.
"..."
She smiled with her lips parted.
"Just wanted to tease that guy a bit."
"Really..."
"Yes."
After Bell Tong finished speaking, she took a step back and turned around.
A pause of half a second.
"I'll go downstairs first..."
She softly spoke with her back turned to Jocelyn York, a fleeting sense of disappointment crossing her face...
Jocelyn York hesitated as she watched her, but she didn't say anything.
She followed along as they walked away...
...
...
"Ooh, it's so cold outside!"
At this moment, William Wei walked into the store from outside.
Following behind him was Raina Nan.
"Where did you guys go?"
"The car ran out of gas. I found a gas station nearby and filled up the tank."
"Can you drive now?"
Samson Nan looked at him suspiciously. He could drive a little, but he didn't have a driver's license...
"So I had Rain Rain come with me. I didn't dare drive alone."
"Hey..."
"Hey, why are you looking so serious?"
Seeing him frown, William Wei laughed again.
"I brought the person back to you in one piece!"
"..."
He didn't say much, just turned his head to glance at Raina Nan.
She stood there for a while, then took out a snack box from her pocket.
"Want some?"
"What is this?"
"Fried pork skin."
"Ah?"
He looked at the golden-yellow, french fry-shaped food in front of him and swallowed.
"...Eating this so early?"
"I had to wait in line for a long time to buy it. Give it a try?"
It had long been said that the further north you go in Europe, the worse the cooking gets. It seemed to be true...
...
"Ah~"
He opened his mouth and bent over slightly.
Raina Nan paused, looking at him.
After hesitating for a moment, she placed a piece of fried pork skin into his mouth.
"This thing is hard to chew..."
The taste was also subtle. Although it wasn't greasy, it tasted odd mixed with cheese...
"You selfish dog! Eating all by yourself?"
Bell Tong also came downstairs.
"Do you have any objections?"
"Let me have a taste too."
"Go away, it's not for you."
"Uncensored and high-definition!!"
"..."
He paused.
"...Fine, take it all!"
"..."
Raina Nan watched on the side, not knowing what play these two people were performing...
...
...
"Is everything packed?"
Jocelyn York was the last one to come downstairs.
"Yeah, we're ready to go at any time!"
"Then let's get in the car, we don't have much time today."
"GO!"
...
After bidding farewell to the innkeeper, they drove away from Dräu and headed to the city center of Copenhagen.
Today's plan was to spend the day in the city center of Copenhagen and take an evening ferry to Oslo, Norway.
They had already been in Denmark for three days, so they had to make a more compact schedule...
...
...
"Your classmate?"
"Yes, she was my roommate in university. After graduating, she married a Norwegian and settled there..."
On the way to the harbor, Jocelyn York explained the reason for this trip arrangement.
"Oh, I see."
"Yeah, she heard that I was coming to Northern Europe this time and insisted that I stay with her."
She said with a helpless smile.
"That's great! We'll save money on hotels!"
William Wei certainly had no objections.
"I wonder if her place can accommodate all of us..."
Jocelyn York pondered.
"..."
Samson Nan looked at the two of them.
"You guys really intend to go..."
He thought it was just a courteous remark.
...
"By the way, Samson Nan, you've met her before, right?"
"Me?"
He was taken aback.
"When?"
There was no way he could have met Jocelyn York's foreign classmate...
"Haha, you'll see when you meet her."
"..."
He thought about it carefully
But still couldn't remember...
...
"I've never been to Norway myself, but I've heard that the fjords in Northern Norway are extremely magnificent and it's the place where the aurora appears most frequently. It should be a good choice to go there!"
"Can we really see the aurora?"
Roxie Lin instantly became excited.
The aurora that they had been unable to see in Dräth, she wondered if she could see it in Norway.
"I can't guarantee that, but the chances should be quite high..."
Jocelyn York scratched her cheek and said.
"Like tonight, when we take the ferry, there's a chance to see the aurora on the sea..."
"Really? Then I won't sleep tonight!"
"Okay, we'll leave that task to you. Remember to call us when the aurora appears!"
Bell Tong patted her on the shoulder and laughed.
"You're waiting too!"
...
...
When they arrived at the harbor, it was already 4 p.m.
The ferry would depart from the harbor at 4:30 p.m., and would not arrive at Oslo harbor until 9 a.m. the next morning.
...
"Little One, if you feel seasick, let me know, okay?"
After boarding the ship, Samson Nan took her luggage and walked along the deck.
"Yeah..."
"Huh? Raina, do you get seasick?"
Jocelyn York turned around and looked at the two of them.
"When she was a kid, she used to get seasick, but it was on a small boat that rocked a lot. This large cruise ship should be fine."
"I didn't know. If I had known, I would've taken a train..."
"I'm okay."
Raina Nan shook her head and quickened her pace to walk beside him.
"Just speak up if you feel uncomfortable."
He said, nudging her with his elbow.
"Okay..."
...
At 4:30 p.m.
As a low, deep whistle sounded, the ferry slowly departed from the harbor.
With its tonnage, the cruise ship traveled on the sea, almost as if it was on land, as long as it didn't encounter rough waves.
Of course, the speed was surprisingly slow, and the fifteen-hour journey was a first for anyone among them...
...
Night fell.
The deck was illuminated by huge searchlights, swaying and illuminating the dark sea ahead.
The bars and nightclubs on the ship had just started operating, bright with lights and emitting loud, raucous noises.
It seemed that many people stayed up all night...
Apart from those who, like them, were crossing the sea, there were also tourists on board who were taking round-trip cruises for vacation, not intending to disembark at the destination port.
...
"..."
Roxie Lin stood by the railing on the deck, looking at the distant sky.
The temperature at night was close to freezing, and the damp cold air brushed past her cheeks, messing up her hair.
But there was no sign of the aurora appearing...
"Aren't you cold?"
"...Huh?"
A voice came from behind her, and she turned around.
"South, Brother Nan?"
He was standing behind her, handing her his coat.
"...for me?"
"Yeah, it's a bit big, but just make do with it."
"Thank you..."
"With so many of you, sometimes I can't keep track, take care of yourself, if you catch a cold, how can I explain to your sister?"
"Sister?"
She paused, looking at him.
"..."
Samson Nan then took out his phone and placed it in front of her.
"Take care of Ruo Xi, or else we're not finished."
That's what the message on the screen said, with only a phone number and no name...
"..."
"I guess this was sent by your sister, right?"
"Um..."
Roxie Lin looked at the familiar number and scratched her cheek.
"How does your sister know my phone number..."
He found it strange.
"Brother Nan, I'm sorry..."
She forced a smile and spoke softly,
"I've caused you trouble..."
"It's fine,"
He said, looking to the side.
"I already had a big trouble here, right?"
"..."
"Xiao Yu?"
Roxie Lin then noticed that Raina Nan was standing behind him.
"This girl is just like you, insisted on waiting for the aurora."
"Who, who said I'm waiting? I just couldn't sleep..."
She pouted and denied it.
"See? What a person this is~ While others say they're waiting for the aurora during the day, she acts all aloof and doesn't speak, but now that everyone's asleep, she comes to ask me to accompany her."
"Who, who asked you!"
She became somewhat embarrassed, blushing as she looked to the side.
"Tsk tsk~"
He laughed, shaking his head.
"Yu Yu, if there was a 'shameless' ranking list in the world, you'd definitely be in the hall of fame!"
"Go die! You're the hall of fame! Your whole family is the hall of fame!"
As she cursed, she realized something was wrong...
Turning her face away, she murmured softly to herself,
"Except for me..."
"Haha!"
He couldn't help but laugh.
"No laughing allowed!"
...
"Pfft"
Roxie Lin on the side also covered her mouth and chuckled lightly.
"The relationship between Xiao Yu and Brother Nan is indeed good."
"What...!"
After she said that, she fell silent.
"..."
Leaning on the railing, looking ahead.
Turning her back to them, but unable to hide the burning ears.
...
