Kiss me tender

Chapter 233 (Part One)

Leaning against Colin's shoulder, Melissa waited for a while, but Colin didn't speak. She raised her head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Colin also lowered his head and looked at her. At that moment, his expression was very complicated, including struggle, forbearance and pain. He just looked at her quietly, as if he wanted to say something, but finally he endured it and said to her with a smile, "Let's go to the ship!"

Seeing him suddenly laugh, Melissa was confused, but she was sure that he must have something to hide.

Before she could say anything, Colin stood up, took her hand and pulled her up. "Play with me for a while!"

Melissa had no choice but to follow him up. She and he went down the reef with hand in hand and walk towards the sea. Just as a boat was about to set out, Colin walked up to negotiate with the fishermen.

Those fishermen were doing business, and it seemed that they hadn't seen tourists like Colin for the first time, so when Colin asked them to get on the boat, they were very happy. They even said that they could provide fresh and salvage seafood for them and cook for them, but they had to charge money.

Colin took a look at Melissa and boarded the boat with her happily.

The boat was bigger than she thought. When she looked at it on the reef, she thought it was just a small boat. But when she got on the boat, she found it was very big. There was even a table for cooking on it. Although the environment was a little rough, it was fresh. The sea breeze blew, and the fragrance of the sea water could be smelled. What's more, the seafood was freshly cooked. As soon as the seafood was caught, the freshman immediately killed it in the pot. It was very fresh, and that kind of feeling could not be enjoyed in the restaurant.

The ship was driven by a machine, and the sound was very loud, so they had to speak very loudly before they could hear. The fishermen here couldn't speak Mandarin clearly, and there would be a little country sound. It was difficult for Colin to talk to them, but the communication between Melissa and them was unimpeded. Then, Colin asked her in secret, "Why could you say that?"

Melissa said with a smile, "My grandparents are fishermen, and my father is the son of them. How can I not say these words?"

Colin looked at her in surprise and saw her turn around to speak to the fishermen. Later, he couldn't help smiling and thought that Melissa was very interesting.

The fishermen had caught up with many kinds of shrimps and fish. They would sort them out and would sell them in different cages. Melissa gave them a help. When the freshmen were about to kill the fish and put them in the pot, Melissa also rolled up her sleeves and help them.

Seeing this, Colin became more curious about Melissa and asked, "You can even kill fish and crabs?"

"Yes!"

"I didn't expect you to know so much!"

Then Melissa raised her head and smiled, "Of course, I know everything. There are many things you are surprised at!" She was having fun, and when she heard his praise, she agreed. She gave herself a compliment, which made Colin laugh. Then Colin rolled up his sleeves and dealt with the seafood with Melissa.

As soon as Melissa jumped into the water and hit on Colin's face, Colin followed her. The two of them began to play. They hid from each other and then ran after each other. The woman who was cutting the fish couldn't help laughing and said in a local voice, "Young people are so sweet!"

Later, they played so crazily that the boat was swayed by them. The old man finally persuaded them, "Don't play anymore. The boat is going to roll over!"

The two of them stopped, but Colin still hugged Melissa from behind and said with a smile, "See? I told you not to play!"

Melissa pushed him away with her elbow, smiled shyly, and went to cook seafood for the old lady. Colin had nothing to do but sat at the bow of the boat leisurely and looked at them.

He looked at Melissa up and down, and then he couldn't help laughing. It turned out that Melissa had the potential to be a good wife and a good mother. It seemed that she was good at cooking for the old lady, and it was the first time that he found that she was so different. In the past, she was a little stubborn. When she broke out anger, it was amazing, or she was always calm in mind. Her form and behavior were too steady, making people feel solemn and unapproachable. He seldom saw her play with him like a child. He didn't expect that she had such a different side and such an interesting place. So it was really a contradiction!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help shaking his head and smiled. But when he squinted at the sea in the distance, the sea wind swept over the bottom of his heart, and his eyes became melancholy again. He looked into the distance silently.

When Melissa was busy, she didn't have enough hands and feet, so she called Colin over to help, but he didn't reply her. She turned around and saw his expression, just like the worried look he had when he was sitting on the reef.

So Melissa had to wash her hands and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Colin came to his senses and shook his head, "Nothing."

As soon as Melissa sat down and leaned against his chest, Colin naturally raised his hand and put it around her shoulder. Melissa said in a low voice, "What are you thinking about?"

"It suddenly occurred to me that……" "The story of mermaid." Colin answered.

Then Melissa raised her head and asked, "What? Why do you think of this story?"

"Look, there is bubble over there." Pointing at the sea not far away, Colin said, "It is like the figure before the mermaid melted."

"Why do you think of such a tragic story?" Melissa was still confused, and every word he said gave her an ominous premonition.
