"Hey, old fox, are you infatuated with the handsome Ivanov with top-level physical strength? Afraid I will abandon you, so you want to destroy my face?" The bear said those cheeky words shamelessly. Seeing that Chen An did not respond, he added, "Hey, don't embarrass me."
"You're thick-skinned and won't feel embarrassed."
Chen An leaned against the deck, slowly spit out one mouthful smoke. The scorching sun made his skin slightly ache and the sea was a little scary. All of this made Chen An thought back to the year when he was on the isolated island.
The difference was that it was not so depressing now.
"You have enough money and a life to enjoy. If you only want to get satisfaction and revenge from me, you can lock me up on the island. As long as you want to hide me, no one else will find me for at least two or three years."
Chen An pointed to the sparkling blue sea. "Why do you want to sail with me? A storm like last night could easily swallow us both."
They were still alive because of good luck, but luck would run out one day.
"You know? I had a friend. He was only 32 years old, a billionaire with no dearth of money to spend. Every day, he had countless beautiful women to enjoy. Every day, he immersed himself in games, drinking, and gambling. However, these could no longer excite him or make him feel happy, and then he started taking drugs."
Ivanov took out a cigar, grabbed the cigar scissors beside Chen An, and took out a match to light the cigar. He took a drag on it.
"He was busy every day, playing from morning till night, and then one day he suddenly died of a heart attack."
Ivanov smiled mockingly, the sea reflected in his eyes setting off the man's blue eyes more deep and transparent. "Very funny isn't it? You and I should have seen many poor people in the Middle East and Africa. They are so poor that they do not even have their own bed, but they still live conscientiously every day."
"Your friend was just a fool." Chen An nudged Ivanov with one elbow. "So what do you want to say? You went out to sea just to have some fun with me?"
"Hey! I didn't say that okay? Babe, you should feel flattered I do not even turn a cold shoulder to an old man in his 30s with a 40's soul. Hey, hey! Do not hit my face. Alas! You beat me in the face!"
"Such a thick face won't be marred by a scar with harder hits"
Riding on Ivanov, Chen An gave the bear two hard strokes. Then, he stood up and kicked the guy again before sitting back. He looked back at Ivanov who was humming with pain, took the cigar beside him and continued smoking.
"Why don't you fight back?"
Chen An knew very well that with Ivanov's physique and skill, he was not rivaled to this bear.
"As a broad-minded man, I am willing to accept my baby's special pettish attitude towards me. Geez, it really hurts." Burying his face, Ivanov looked at Chen An and suddenly laughed with his mouth wide-opened almost approaching his ears. He smiled more brightly than the sun.
"Your friend was stupid. But are you crazy now?" What was this idiot laughing at?
"Are you happy, An?" Ivanov smiled triumphantly and without reservation. He took a deep breath with open arms. His face was full of happiness and satisfaction, and he murmured, "I am very happy."
"At this very moment, there are no luxury houses, no luxury cars, no yachts, and no planes, nothing... but it's so weird, I feel more satisfied than ever, wow!"
