Fu Yisi never hid his yearning for Ji Sang, and as she looked into his eyes, her heart felt as if it had been struck by something.
She missed Fu Yisi too.
Let them pray together, hoping that in the coming days, they would be able to photograph the whale fall.
Encountering something with such slim odds signified luck, and the reason people sought such luck was that something precious rested upon it.
After receiving instructions from above and making arrangements, everyone on the ship seemed calmer, like they had taken a reassuring pill. The patients were less anxious, and the medical room’s operations became well-organized.
Once things became orderly, time seemed to make itself available.
Finally, Ji Sang also had the time to observe and wait for the whale fall.
Waiting itself is a matter requiring patience and optimism, let alone waiting for something unknown.
If it had been before, Ji Sang might have been more calm, but after Fu Yisi proposed the seven-day deadline, she felt a sense of urgency.
She hoped that she could capture the whale fall within these seven days.
Min Yunwen quickly noticed Ji Sang’s urgency and was somewhat curious.
"You used to be so laid-back; what’s the rush now, afraid the illness will worsen?"
If that was the reason, Min Yunwen could understand.
But Ji Sang just shook her head.
"No, I want to go home."
Ji Sang then added another sentence.
Hehe, is this what a married woman is like?
How long has she been away from home? And she’s already missing her man?
Ji Sang saw the look on Min Yunwen’s face and guessed what he must be thinking. She shook her head helplessly with a smile.
How could one without a loved one understand the pain of yearning?
She couldn’t be bothered to explain to him now; when the right time comes, Min Yunwen will understand without anyone else’s persuasion.
These seven days passed amidst Ji Sang’s anxiety and anticipation.
Now on the last day, Ji Sang felt a sense of loss.
She still hadn’t photographed the whale fall.
It’s true, such an event was rare, a once-in-a-century occurrence — how could she capture it so easily?
The supply ship arrived last night, and today at three o’clock in the afternoon, it would start its journey back. She must make a decision before twelve o’clock.
She indeed missed Fu Yisi, but after knowing the incident that happened to Min Yunwen, she completely understood why he insisted that she come here.
The reason lay in his fear that she wouldn’t be able to properly capture this once-in-a-century scene.
Even though it would only last a few seconds.
But as a photographer, she could not afford a single deviation, fearing that she would have regrets.
Min Yunwen saw her frowning and said while walking to her side.
"If you really miss him that much, just go back with them."
Upon hearing this, Ji Sang suddenly turned her head to look at Min Yunwen.
He looked indifferent, but his eyes carried the incomprehension and disdain of a single person towards such longing.
However, Ji Sang felt that Min Yunwen didn’t really want her to just go back.
She couldn’t explain why she felt this way; perhaps it was just a sixth sense.
"If I go back, then who will do the shooting when the time comes?"
Min Yunwen suddenly huffed heavily.
"What, now that my hand is half-disabled, I can’t hold a camera?"
Sure enough, Min Yunwen deep down didn’t want her to go back, and wasn’t this retort triggered by a slight provocation?
Initially, Min Yunwen proposed a month-long deadline, and she agreed.
Ji Sang thought that if she were to go back so early, she would be breaking her promise to him.
"I’m not going back."
Min Yunwen’s eyebrows lifted.
