Chapter 325 Looking at the sea
Some longings are always so lingering, before the rain, after the rain, or during the rain.

The rain came suddenly. A few raindrops tested the waters first, giving the crew no time to react, before falling in droves.

Xu Qinhao panicked like a black donkey about to be sent to the slaughterhouse. He grabbed a megaphone and loudly directed the logistics staff to pack up the cameras and props. For a moment, everyone on set was like ants on a hot pan, running around aimlessly with their equipment.

Lin Jie ran over with an umbrella and helped He Daqi into the car. As soon as they got in, Chen Shuangxi handed him a towel. He Daqi wiped the rain off his face and turned to look outside.

The rain poured down, coating the car windows with a layer of water, but it didn't obstruct the view.

Looking at Xu Qinhao's flustered appearance, He Daqi shook his head slightly. This director was the least skilled among all the directors he had worked with.

Other directors may have shortcomings, but they also have outstanding abilities. Xu Qinhao is different; he is lacking in every aspect. Even in terms of the basic skills of directing and storytelling, he is only slightly better than the average person.

He Daqi even felt that if he went behind the camera, he could probably achieve the same level as Xu Qinhao, and might even shoot better than him, after all, He Daqi has been on so many film crews.

A strong gust of wind swept in, and the vertical curtain of rain suddenly turned into a diagonal line, making the pattering sound from the car roof even more rapid.

A bright light suddenly flashed across the sky, and soon after, a deafening roar of thunder filled the air, making the group of drenched people outside even more panicked.

Although He Daqi didn't understand lip reading, he could still easily recognize the two words Xu Qinhao kept cursing.

The chaotic scene in the heavy rain suddenly reminded him that he had experienced something similar in his past life.

At that time, he was leading a group of children to play hide-and-seek outside. The rain came down so suddenly, but the children's minds were not bothered by the rain. Even though he kept calling out, only a few of them came out of their hiding places and returned to his side.

This forced He Daqi to search for the children who had hidden in the rain. There was constant thunder that day, and in the end, it was the Queen's wife who led the guards over and found all the children.

The usually calm, elegant, and virtuous queen wife gave He Daqi a good scolding that day, so much so that He Daqi still remembers it vividly.

Thinking of this, He Daqi suddenly paused.

How did I transmigrate here? I have no recollection of what I experienced before transmigrating.
It's like waking up from a nap and suddenly finding yourself in a sea of ​​fire. After finally managing to escape the fire, you discover that you've been reborn.

Weird!

With this on his mind, He Daqi began to carefully sort through his memories, only to find that his memories of his past life were fragmented and he felt like he wanted to organize them but didn't know where to start.

Jingle Bell!
The ringing of his cell phone startled He Daqi from his reverie.

Looking at Zhou Huimin's name on his phone, He Daqi's eyes softened from confusion. Oh well, it's all in the past, I'm too lazy to think about it anymore.

"Hey."

"Daqi, is it raining where you are too?"

"Yeah, it really rained a lot. South Korea is so small, I didn't need to guess to know it rained where you are too. How was it? Did the kids get scared by the thunder?"

"No, they were quite happy. They were jumping and skipping by the window, clapping and laughing whenever there was thunder. If they could go outside, they probably would have liked to go out and get some rain."

Upon hearing Vivian Chow's description, Ho Tai-kai could already picture the scene in his mind, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

The heavy rain came quickly, but it left just as fast.

It rained for three hours straight, from morning until afternoon, while He Daqi hid in his car, switching phones and having a three-hour phone call with Zhou Huimin.

Normally, after raining for so long, the crew should have given the production a day off, but today is different, as He Daqi's scenes have wrapped up filming today.

Xu Qinhao didn't want to drag out the filming for another half day tomorrow. Not only did he not want to, but He Daqi didn't want to either. In fact, He Daqi was even considering working overtime today if all else failed.

Fortunately, the afternoon filming went smoothly, and He Daqi's scenes were finished before 5 p.m.

Other actors wanted to take the opportunity to invite Ho Ta-kei to a wrap party, but Ho Ta-kei refused without hesitation and then got into his car and left the set without looking back.

……

……

It rained heavily yesterday, and the roads are still a bit wet today. In some low-lying puddles in the roadside green belts, you can still see rainwater that hasn't completely seeped in.

Road maintenance workers were clearing tree branches that had been broken by the wind and rain yesterday from both sides of the road. As a van drove past the workers, it was clear that the areas that had not been cleared looked like they had just been flooded. Garbage bags and tree branches were washed onto the roadside and piled up haphazardly, waiting to be cleaned up.

"Daddy, why did it take so long to get here today?" The little girl must have gotten tired of being in the car and didn't want to look at the scenery anymore, so she turned around and snuggled into He Daqi's arms.

"Almost there, almost there, we'll be there in an hour. Lele, are you hungry? Mommy brought some snacks, how about I give you some to tide you over?"

"I'm not hungry," the little girl hummed in response as she nestled in He Daqi's arms.

"You were jumping and skipping around when I said I'd take you to see the sea last night, why are you so listless now?" Zhou Huimin leaned over and snuggled up to He Daqi, cupping her daughter's little face to help her lift her head, and asked with a smile.

"But it didn't say it would take this long by car," the little girl pouted in response.

“You should learn from your brother. Look at him, he hasn’t said a word since the beginning and has been sitting there quietly.”

Zhou Huimin's words made He Daqi realize something was wrong. He turned to look at his son and found him sitting upright in the car seat with his lips pursed and his brows furrowed, as if he was a little uncomfortable.

He Daqi cursed himself inwardly for being careless. He had been so engrossed in playing a puzzle game on his phone that he hadn't noticed his son's unusual behavior.

"Huanhuan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Dad, I didn't... vomit!... vomit...!"

The van slowly pulled up to the side of the road.

He Daqi carried his son out of the car, patted his back, and let him continue to vomit by the roadside while breathing some fresh air.

"Next time you're not feeling well, tell Dad in advance. Don't hold it in, okay?"

"Ah."

At this moment, Vivian Chow also got out of the car with her daughter in her arms, smiling as she used a tissue to wipe a corner of her skirt.

The little girl repeated what she had told her mother in the car to her father: "My brother threw up on my dress! I love this dress the most!"

Looking at his precious daughter's petty and calculating expression, He Daqi instantly chuckled.

Vivian Chow was also amused and gently poked her daughter's forehead with her index finger, signaling her to tone it down.

Qin Long and the others got out of the back car and started cleaning the back seats. After they finished cleaning, Qin Long and the others got into He Daqi's car. He Daqi and Zhou Huimin, holding the child, got into the back car.

The convoy continued its journey towards the sea. "Let's take a plane back; I didn't expect our son to get carsick."

"It's all your fault. I told you to fly, but you insisted on taking the car, saying it would be more convenient to drive back and forth."

"I don't remember you saying that."

“I definitely said it.” Seeing that the son in He Daqi’s arms still didn’t look well, Zhou Huimin adopted an unreasonable attitude and started arguing with He Daqi.

"Fine, fine, you said it, I didn't remember." He Daqi was too lazy to argue with her. That's how women are, they come and go in waves. He took out his phone while holding his son, ready to play some more games.

"Chat with me for a bit! What are you doing playing on your phone!" Zhou Huimin kicked him.

"Do you look like you want to have a chat?"

"Why not?"

"Okay, put it on, I'm listening." He Daqi put his phone away.

Zhou Huimin didn't quite understand what He Daqi had said. She moved closer to him, holding her daughter, and rested her head on his shoulder, saying:
“My mom called me yesterday afternoon and asked when I was going back since I’ve been traveling with the kids for so long. She said she misses them. Daqi, how about we take the kids and travel for a few days before going back to China, and you can come over when the exchange group departs?”

"Whatever you say, I'll listen to you."

"Speaking of which, didn't Grandma call and nag you about this?"

"I definitely rambled on, I just didn't tell you."

The couple, each holding one child, chatted quietly until they reached their destination.

Jeju Island has offered visa-free entry to group tourists traveling directly from mainland China since 02.

However, not many people came at first. At that time, Hong Kong and Macau were more attractive to domestic tourists.

In the past two years, as the economy has improved, more and more people are willing to come and try it, after all, there is visa-free entry.

In addition, tourism here has opened up a new market, so many new travel companies in China have emerged that specialize in this route. With their promotion, tourists from the north sometimes come to experience it, which is considered an overseas trip and something to brag about when they get back.

However, for Ho Tai-kai and his wife Chow Wai-man, compared to the tourist beaches in China, there are relatively few tourists here.

You can't just go to any beach to play, especially with kids. It's safer to go to a well-developed beach like this.

The two little ones, wearing little rain boots, kept splashing in the waves. Limited by their shoes and their short legs, they couldn't run very far.

He Daqi and Zhou Huimin followed leisurely behind, watching the two children laugh and giggle as they occasionally stopped to pick up a seashell and show it off to the couple.

"Run slowly, don't fall," Zhou Huimin instructed again.

"Mommy, Mommy, come and chase me!" The little girl waved happily at Zhou Huimin.

That little dress she used to cherish so much is now covered in seawater and sand, and she doesn't seem to care about it much at all.

Not long ago, she complained that her brother had dirtied a corner of her body.

Vivian Chow was also in a playful mood. She chuckled and quickly took a few steps to catch her daughter. Amid the little girl's laughter, she pinched her daughter's cheek and then let go.

"Daqi, I see there are large yachts for rent over there. Let's rent one and take the kids out for a spin on the sea."

“Your son just threw up, aren’t you worried he’ll get seasick?” He Daqi reminded him.

"Give it a try. You might have felt stuffy in the car. Didn't you see how much better you felt after getting out of the car and getting some fresh air?"

He Daqi twitched the corner of his mouth. Zhou Huimin hadn't said that earlier. She had complained that he hadn't taken the child on the plane. But the main reason for bringing the child out today was to have fun, so he chose to play dumb.

"I'll go ask. Don't take them to play in the water. Go to the beach and build sandcastles. I'll be back."

"Yes, Huanhuan, come on, let's go play over there with Mom."

"Okay." X2
He Daqi was wearing sunglasses and a sun-protective veil, so no one recognized him.

However, he was only wearing beach shorts, and his well-defined muscles attracted the attention of many female tourists, especially his eight-pack abs, which made their mouths water.

Some of the bolder girls tried to sneak over and strike up a conversation, but He Daqi anticipated their moves and quickly dodged them. His reaction was so obvious that the bold girls knew it was pointless and could only sigh in regret.

He Daqi dared not talk to anyone here. This place was full of young girls. If they accidentally recognized him, he guessed that these girls would surround him and, under the pretense of asking for autographs, keep groping him.

If the atmosphere gets any more heated, I doubt I'll even be able to keep my beach shorts; that would be a real disaster.

So He Daqi was extremely careful on his journey from the beach to the boat rental company.

When he finally arrived at his destination, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"Hello, do you have a price list? I'd like to rent a yacht."

"Hello, we offer different services. For luxury yacht fishing or sightseeing, it costs 40,000 won per person and there are 30 fishing spots. We need to have at least 50 people to depart. If you charter a medium-sized yacht, it will cost about 250,000 won and can accommodate eight people. Both of these services include free catering. Small speedboats cost 30,000 won every 70 minutes and are mainly used for surfing experiences."

"I'll choose the one that costs 25. Do they have a boat available now?"

"some."

Twenty minutes later, the family of four boarded the yacht.

He Daqi knocked on the open door of the driver's cab and said, "Master, we're not here for sea fishing. We mainly want to take the kids to see the sea. I'm worried the kids will get seasick, so please drive slowly."

The captain was a dark-skinned, lean middle-aged man, clearly a seasoned sailor. Seeing that four people had boarded the chartered boat and another one had been chartered for bodyguards, he knew they were wealthy. He chuckled and offered a suggestion:

"If you're not going sea fishing, you can buy some seafood when you come across a fishing boat. They mentioned it when you chartered the boat, right? They provide free catering. My wife is the chef, and her cooking skills are pretty good. The fresh sea snails and fish with wasabi soy sauce are especially delicious. You can give it a try."

"Thanks, I'll give it a try when I come across it."

He Daqi thanked her and then turned around to see the two children vying to be held by Zhou Huimin.

To make it easier for tourists to bring their children on board, the yachts here are equipped with half-meter-high railings. This means that if the two children don't get close to the railings, their view will be obstructed. Right now, the two children wanted to see the sea from a higher point, so they both gathered around Zhou Huimin's legs.

He Daqi laughed and picked up his son and daughter, one in each arm, and walked to the bow of the boat so that they could clearly see the sea.
