Chen Haoxuan took a moment to breathe and regain his composure before observing his surroundings. Nearby, there was a fishing boat with four people bowing repeatedly, pleading for mercy. When Chen Haoxuan heard their words, he couldn't help but laugh; he had been mistaken for a water ghost, which was quite unbelievable.
Seeing that the people were ordinary fishermen, and feeling tired after swimming for so long, he climbed onto the fishing boat.
As soon as he got on board, Li Hai and the others turned pale with fear. "What... what do you want?" Li Hai asked in a trembling voice.
Chen Haoxuan chuckled and said, "Don't misunderstand me; I'm not a water ghost. I'm a real person."
"You... you're a person? Then why were you in the water?" Li Hai stammered.
"I was in the water because I was being chased by bad people. I'm quite good at diving; I can hold my breath for about twenty minutes. Just as I surfaced to breathe after swimming here, I got caught in your fishing net. I'm really sorry for scaring you," Chen Haoxuan said, bowing slightly with an apologetic expression.
Li Hai kept shining the flashlight at Chen Haoxuan, allowing Li Yujia to see his handsome face clearly. She was momentarily stunned, thinking how could there be such a perfect man in this world.
Ugly things often evoke fear, but beautiful things tend to garner affection. Regardless of whether Chen Haoxuan was a bad person or not, Li Yujia no longer felt the same fear as before. She stepped out of the cabin and asked Chen Haoxuan, "Are you a good person or a bad person?" This question was not as simple as it seemed; who would admit to being a bad person?
"Hehe... I say I'm a good person. Do you believe me? Well... you don't need to be afraid of me; I won't harm you. I just want to rest for a while, and once I'm refreshed, I'll leave immediately," Chen Haoxuan said before sitting down at the bow of the boat to rest.
Hearing Chen Haoxuan's words, Li Hai and the others sighed in relief. Li Hai said to Chen Haoxuan, "Young man, if you don't mind, come sit in the cabin! I'll take you ashore when we leave."
"Then I won't be polite," Chen Haoxuan replied as he stood up and suddenly realized he was completely soaked. He awkwardly said to Li Hai, "Uncle, could I borrow a set of clothes? My clothes are all wet."
"No problem! Just wait a moment; I'll go get some," Li Hai said readily. People who make their living by the sea are generally warm-hearted because the ocean can be dangerous, and accidents happen frequently. Fishermen usually help those in distress at sea whenever they can; over time, it has become part of their character to assist anyone in trouble within their capabilities.
Chen Haoxuan's clothing quality was unquestionable since he had designed it himself. Although it was wet, it did not detract from its aesthetic appeal. Seeing how well-dressed Chen Haoxuan was and noting his noble demeanor made Li Yujia think that he must be either rich or of high status. She walked over to him and apologetically said, "Um... I'm sorry; it was actually me who caught you in the net."
Chen Haoxuan looked at the little girl in surprise. "You... why are you out here fishing alone in the middle of the night?"
Li Yujia lowered her head, nervously rubbing the hem of her clothes. "I... I was bored, so I took a net to fish. I didn't expect to catch a fish, but instead, I caught a person."
Hearing Li Yujia's words, Chen Haoxuan burst into laughter. "Your luck is incredible! Just casting a net randomly and you caught me. Your story reminds me of a fisherman who caught a mermaid, but your luck is much better than his—you caught this handsome fish instead, hahaha..."
The others on the boat joined in the laughter; it was indeed amusing.
Li Yujia stomped her little foot and said in a delicate voice, "Stop it! Don't laugh at me anymore."
Li Hai soon came out with a set of clothes—a shirt commonly worn by farmers and a pair of knee-length shorts, along with some slippers. Chen Haoxuan changed into the clothes in a small bathing room and hung his own clothes on a bamboo pole on the boat.
This fishing boat was medium-sized, so Chen Haoxuan didn't have to bend down as he walked inside.
Li Hai placed a bottle of liquor and some peanuts on a small table and warmly said to Chen Haoxuan, "Come sit here and have some drinks to warm up."
"Then I won't be polite," Chen Haoxuan said as he sat at the small table and took several sips of liquor until he felt warmth in his body.
"Young man, we're about five or six kilometers from shore. How did you swim over here?" Li Hai asked curiously. If Chen Haoxuan claimed he swam directly over, Li Hai certainly wouldn't believe it; after all, this was the sea, not a river where swimming was easier. Only fish could swim that far—humans definitely couldn't.
"I swim very well, so I came directly," Chen Haoxuan replied with a smile while eating peanuts and drinking.
"Then what did you hold onto while swimming over?" Li Hai still found it hard to believe that someone could swim that far alone.
"No, I've been diving here all along. I come up for air every twenty minutes," Chen Haoxuan said honestly. He had dived over, so the waves were of no concern to him.
"That's incredible! You swam through the ocean for five or six kilometers? Were you a fish in your past life?" Li Hai exclaimed in disbelief.
"Hehe... it's something I've trained for," Chen Haoxuan replied with a smile.
Due to Chen Haoxuan's sudden appearance, Li Hai and the others lost their sleepiness and decided to keep him company, drinking and chatting.
Li Yujia sat next to Chen Haoxuan, tilting her head as she asked, "Why do you feel so familiar? I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."
There were too many people who knew Chen Haoxuan, and since they were just ordinary fishermen, he had no need to hide his identity. He smiled and said, "That's because I am Chen Haoxuan."
Upon hearing this, Li Yujia suddenly remembered seeing Chen Haoxuan on her television before; his outfit was exactly the same as what he was wearing now. She exclaimed in surprise, "You... you really are Chen Haoxuan?"
Seeing that Li Yujia was skeptical, Chen Haoxuan took out his wallet. He had left all his cash in the small changing room where he had changed clothes, leaving only important items like his bank card and ID. He pulled out his ID and handed it to Li Yujia, smiling as he said, "This is my ID. Take a look and see if it's me."
Li Yujia took Chen Haoxuan's ID with excitement and said, "It really is Chen Haoxuan! I never expected that I would catch the world's most perfect guy with just a net. If I told this story, all the girls might become fishermen, hoping to catch a Chen Haoxuan someday."
