Shi Tian had just sat down and barely taken a few bites when Shi Chui and Yun Wan'er, already full, patted their bellies and hand in hand made their way to the Viewing Platform at the top of the boat, eager for some sunbathing. Unfortunately, the sunlight on the sea was not as pleasant as they had hoped. By the time Shi Tian finished his meal and washed the dishes, the two of them came rushing back, looking disheveled. The sun was too intense for Yun Wan'er; she couldn't take it anymore. She had little interest in getting a tan, preferring her skin to remain fair and delicate.
"Xiao Tian, renting such a yacht must not be cheap!" Yun Wan'er squinted at him as she lounged on the sofa, noticing Shi Tian emerging from the kitchen.
"It's alright; a yacht of this size probably costs around two thousand yuan an hour! The hotel charges even more. With meals and crew included, it could be about five thousand, plus high-end drinks on top of that," Shi Tianyi casually replied. He paused, realizing that Yun Wan'er seemed to think he had rented this yacht specifically to take them out for a day of fun.
That would be nice, but would Yun Wan'er reimburse him? That seemed a bit unlikely! Of course, there was also the possibility that Shi Chui and Yun Wan'er found him bothersome and wanted to rent a yacht for themselves! But did they even have a license? Wouldn't they still need to hire a crew? If they were hiring a crew anyway, why not let him handle it?
He turned around and poured each of them a glass of red wine. After thinking for a moment, he said, "This boat belongs to Ye Ge's friend. They left it with me when I was in Africa. I usually take it out for a spin or go fishing when I have some free time."
"Yun Wan'er is interested in yachts? Really? After just one trip out to sea, she's already thinking about yachts? What kind of family is this? Mini Air Force isn't cheap! Shi Chui and Yun Wan'er shouldn't be so extravagant!"
Taking a sip of red wine, Shi Chui exchanged glances with Yun Wan'er before casually asking, "How much does such a yacht cost?"
"A domestic one around forty feet goes for about three hundred thousand yuan; an imported one is around five hundred thousand. This boat is custom-made with many upgrades; I’m not sure of the exact price but it should be no less than eight hundred thousand!"
"Are you planning to buy me a yacht? You really don’t need to go that far. That fishing boat we saw earlier was slightly less equipped but would be perfect for playing around within dozens of nautical miles. It only costs about seventy or eighty thousand; something like that would suffice!"
After jokingly saying this, Shi Tian prepared to start the boat and look for dolphins. It would take some time to get there from here; he planned to head out during the hottest part of noon so that by the time they arrived on the other side, the sun wouldn’t be so harsh and they could fish.
Of course, that was assuming the dolphins weren’t active; he certainly didn’t have the courage to fish in front of them!
"Buy you a yacht? Now that's quite a dream!" Yun Wan'er teased as she stood up and followed Shi Tian to the driver's seat, watching him steer the boat into deeper waters.
"Interested? Want to give it a try?" Shi Tian asked with a smile as he shifted slightly beside her at the helm. "The steering wheel is pretty much like that of a car; you have throttle control right here, and there are no clutches or brakes—it's much simpler than driving a car!"
There were fewer boats in this area, and since the water was deep without any hidden reefs, it wouldn’t be an issue for Yun Wan'er to try her hand at it.
Glancing at Shi Tianyi again, Yun Wan'er shook her head. "What’s there to drive? I’ve steered a boat before while playing at Xixi Wetland; although that one was smaller and slower—and electric—the basic principles are still the same."
"Xiao Tian," she said with a playful smile while patting his shoulder, "you've got your own business now! Lao Shi and I are semi-retired; this family will rely on you from now on!"
She squinted her eyes at him before continuing, "This yacht is really nice; both Lao Shi and I like it! You need to work hard and earn money so you can buy us one too!"
Yun Wan'er's words left Shi Tian utterly stunned! He initially thought they were interested in yachts because they wanted to buy one for him. In just one sip of wine, it had turned into him buying yachts for Shi Chui and Yun Wan'er!
After pausing for several seconds in disbelief, Shi Tian slowly turned his head to look at Yun Wan'er. "You really think highly of your son! I'm just running a Fishing Tackle Shop—what kind of business do I have?"
"If it's seventy or eighty thousand yuan, maybe your son can manage somehow. But if we're talking about seven or eight million yuan—don't hold your breath! Why don’t you and Lao Shi work hard together and open another small shop? Don’t expect anything big from me!"
Yun Wan'er opened her mouth to ask him for a yacht. What kind of nonsense was this? She might not know how much money he had, but she definitely knew whether he had the ability to buy a yacht. To start off with a yacht worth seven or eight million, was she just joking with him? It couldn’t be that simple!
He had already lost a fortune with his main account; how could he even think about using a secondary one? Maybe he should wait until he recouped his losses before considering anything else!
After muttering to himself, Yun Wan'er took a sip of red wine and seriously reminded him, "Young people should have a goal! It’s a bit early for you to be thinking about retirement right after leaving school!"
Whether it was learning from Ye Ge or from his master, or even finding his own path, he couldn’t just drift through life aimlessly. At the very least, he needed to have a direction to strive towards!
"I’m going to make the yacht your first goal. After that, I’ll sign up for the Yacht License course. Let’s see when you can get us on our own yacht! You can do it!"
With that, Yun Wan'er floated away, leaving Shi Tianyi dumbfounded.
If it weren’t for her last sentence, Shi Tianyi might have almost believed her! Did Yun Wan'er really expect him to buy a yacht? That seemed unlikely! But with that statement hanging in the air, she could always bring it up later to annoy him. It was exhausting!
As the boat reached its destination, he called out to Scallion Ginger Fishy, only to find out that their group was out in the sea looking for dolphins! They had been searching for half the morning and hadn’t even seen a shadow of one!
