Holding the badge that he had stolen from under William's nose, Xiao Qianchuan walked unimpeded from the banquet hall on the third floor to the deck on the first floor.

He gazed at the sea from afar and felt the unrest underwater.

Turning the wheelchair close to the side of the boat, Xiao Qianchuan clung to the edge with great effort and stretched his head to look down.

Suddenly, his breathing stagnated and someone grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him back.

His back pressed against the man's chest, and the collar of his clothes finally loosened. Xiao Qianchuan gasped with difficulty while coughing, pushed away the arm that was blocking his waist, turned around and glared at him fiercely.

"You...are you?"

Captain Ling, who remained calm even after hitting an iceberg, was rarely so excited. His arms around the boy's waist involuntarily lost strength.

"Didn't I tell you to come to me if you're in trouble? Why are you doing something stupid?"

Just now, when he saw the young man lying on the side of the boat, his heart almost jumped out of his chest. Ling couldn't imagine what would happen if he came a step later...

Good luck!

"I...I'm sorry."

Seeing the boy's red eyes, Ling immediately regretted his harsh tone. He was hesitantly reaching out his hand to touch the other's head, when the boy's head rubbed against him.

It really looks like a poor homeless cat in urgent need of comfort!

The soft touch under his palm made Ling's heart itch slightly, and a despicable idea came to his mind.

He wanted to take the clingy kitten back and hide it.

Coincidentally, this "kitten" thought so too.

"Can you take me away? Don't let them find me."

"Who are they?" Ling clenched his fist unconsciously, "Tell me, who hurt you?"

"He...they..." The boy sniffed, exhaled deeply, and told his experience with difficulty.

"A few days ago, I overheard my brother and father talking about the royal family's recent intention to suppress the nobles. For the sake of the White family's generations of honor, my brother proposed to give me to the eldest prince as... a concubine. My father actually agreed."

The young man lowered his head in disappointment. "I had no choice but to disguise myself as a sailor and escape by going to a nearby fishing boat to buy supplies. But I didn't expect that my brother and the captain of the guards had bribed the first mate to keep an eye on me. They caught me and broke my legs."

Ling's eyes fell on the blanket under the boy's body. After the anger and shock, he was filled with heartache and pity. He should have discovered the abnormality of the first mate earlier. If he had...

He closed his eyes and tried to calm his breathing, feeling that the punch he had thrown last night that caused the first mate's nose to bleed was too light.

"I tried to persuade the eldest prince to give up on me, a man with a disabled body, but... but he..."

The boy seemed to have thought of something terrible. He clutched his collar, choked and could no longer speak.

A biting sea breeze blew, Ling took off his coat and put it on the boy's shoulders, anger burning in his heart.

"Don't be afraid! It's okay. I'll help you."

"Really?" The boy looked up, the surprise in his eyes only lasted for a moment before turning into worry and loss.

"But it will implicate you. No! Just pretend you haven't seen me and let me leave on my own!"

Who can resist a kitten with tears in its eyes?

Captain Ling couldn't, and didn't want to.

So, without saying another word, he took action and "kidnapped" the kitten.

Pushing the boy's wheelchair, Ling successfully avoided all sights with his familiarity with the ship and brought the boy back to his own captain's room.

Just as he was about to lift the blanket and carry the boy to the bed, Ling was unexpectedly met with unprecedented fierce resistance from the boy.

"No! No! Please."

"Feel sorry!"

Ling's face froze, and he was upset at his own carelessness. He was afraid of irritating the boy's fragile nerves again, so he explained carefully.

"Did it hurt you? I just wanted you to be more comfortable in bed. I didn't mean anything else. Don't be afraid. I won't touch you anymore."

After hearing this, the boy's face became more embarrassed. "I'm sorry! Can I keep wrapped in a blanket? Only in this way will I feel safe. Ah! I absolutely do not mean to question your character. I know that Captain Ling is a kind gentleman."

"You can just call me Ling. It's safe here, don't worry."

As he said that, Ling followed the boy's request and put him and his blanket into his own bed.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Or do you want something? You can tell me anything. Don't bother me."

The boy nodded and put his hands on his stomach, "Yeah, I'm hungry."

"What to eat?"

Ling asked patiently, and when the boy replied, "Anything is fine, I'm not picky," his heart instantly softened like butter in a frying pan.

How can there be such a well-behaved little cat!

He didn't realize how doting the smile on his face was when he went out, but the person lying in the soft bedding saw it very clearly.

Thinking of this face, in the last game he was an unyielding, iron-blooded soldier, in reality he was a passionate and enthusiastic public servant, and now... Xiao Qianchuan couldn't help but laugh.

"This guy is actually a love-brained person!"

Xiao Qianchuan himself didn't expect that he could enter the captain's room so easily and send people away with just one sentence.

He jumped out of bed, looked through the captain's diary, wrote down the return route, and felt that this mission was really a long and arduous journey!

After looking at the distribution map of the crew's working areas, Xiao Qianchuan decided to go out for an "encounter".
