My fishing raft will ask for help.

Chapter 67 The Leatherback Turtle Reappears

"You're insane!"

"Do you really have to wake me up so early in the morning? Are you trying to kill me?"

Lu Xingyu tossed and turned in bed, hopping around like a stranded flounder, venting his pent-up morning grumpiness.

Zhou Miao stood by the bed, arms crossed, watching his antics, and couldn't help but twitch her lips.

"If you don't get up soon, your sister might lure me into the second bedroom. Don't regret it if something happens then."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingyu froze, immediately sitting up straight with wide eyes, and exclaimed in astonishment, "I'm back, why is she still like this...?"

Zhou Miao spread his hands, his face expressionless: "I'm so handsome, it's not normal for your sister to like me. But her problems are still there, so you have to find a way to solve them."

These words were blunt, which made Lu Xingyu even more frustrated. He gave him a resentful look and sighed, "Sigh, no matter how much I tried to guard against it, I still couldn't prevent it."

"Alright, get up and have breakfast. I have something to discuss with you." Zhou Miao said, turning around and returning to the living room.

In the living room, Lu Xiaoxiao was already sitting at the dining table, eating breakfast.

When she saw him come out, she raised her face, revealing a silly smile, her mouth stuffed full, which looked quite cute.

Zhou Miao smiled, said nothing, sat down, picked up the char siu bao she had bought, and took a bite.

The taste is okay, but it's definitely pre-made and doesn't have the authentic flavor of Nanguang. It'll have to do with it!

A moment later, Lu Xingyu came out, grabbed a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth, asking Zhou Miao between bites, "You said you had something to discuss, what is it?"

Zhou Miao swallowed the food in his mouth, took a sip of sweet soy milk, and said, "It's nothing serious. There are only two rooms here now, so there's no room for you to stay. I'm planning to find a place to move out today."

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Xiaoxiao abruptly looked up and flatly refused, "No way!"

Seeing that they were both looking at her, she took a deep breath and continued, "There's no need to live separately. Actually, we can ask the landlord to let us exchange for a three-bedroom apartment."

Zhou Miao shook his head and declined the suggestion: "There's no need to go through all that trouble. I reckon the landlord's building definitely has one-bedroom apartments, so it'll be very convenient to have meals together or visit each other."

"Ah Miao's suggestion is great, I think it's a good idea."

Lu Xingyu nodded repeatedly. He also felt that it might be better for his good brother and sister to keep some distance, as getting together every day would inevitably lead to trouble sooner or later.

Lu Xiaoxiao stared at Zhou Miao with a pitiful look on her face, her lips drooping.

But the next moment, she thought of something very important, and her eyes lit up.

It's good to be separated. Separation means I won't be constantly watched by my own brother, and then...

Thinking of this, she immediately abandoned her resistance: "Okay then!"

The fact that he agreed so readily caught Zhou Miao and Lu Xingyu off guard.

The two looked at each other, both of them wondering what was going on.

Why did this girl suddenly agree so readily?

But they couldn't figure out what Lu Xiaoxiao was thinking, so they gave up and stopped asking.

After breakfast, while the brother and sister went out to the hospital together, Zhou Miao took out his phone to contact the landlord.

On the other end of the phone, the landlord was so happy to hear that he wanted to rent a one-bedroom apartment that he immediately came over to show him the place.

Just as Zhou Miao had expected, there were vacant rooms on the second and third floors and the roof of the building, especially on the roof, which was similar to the one he had seen when he first came to Nanzhen to rent a room.

It has a large balcony that you can use freely, and the decoration is more exquisite.

Zhou Miao didn't hesitate and immediately booked the rooftop apartment.

Although the electricity bill is higher when using air conditioning in the summer, it has many advantages, so there's no need to hesitate.

After signing the contract and paying the money, Zhou Miao went straight to the top floor to clean the house.

The place is fairly clean; he only needs to mop the floor and wipe the tables and such.

After finishing my work, I went downstairs and carried all my things back up.

Time flew by and it was already past nine in the morning. While Zhou Miao was tidying up, her phone rang. It was a call from the flooring supplier, saying that the materials for the fish raft frame had been delivered and would arrive at the fish raft dock soon.

Zhou Miao didn't have time to pack up and immediately went out to the dock.

After waiting for more than half an hour, a truck finally arrived, and Mr. Sun and five workers followed behind in their car, indicating that work would begin today.

Some of the materials were left at the dock, and the rest were transported to a temporary warehouse.

Zhou Miao left a key with Master Sun, and then they returned to the dock together. They used their small boat to take people to the fish raft, and also sent up some of the materials for building the framework.

He and Master Sun, along with the workers, had just unloaded the frame materials for the fish raft onto the deck when they heard Master Sun suddenly exclaim, "Boss Zhou, look over there!"

Following the direction Master Sun pointed, a huge leatherback turtle slowly appeared beside the fishing raft.

It stretched its neck to look at Zhou Miao, seemingly wondering how he ended up there.

The workers on the fish rafts were all dumbfounded. Clearly, such a huge sea turtle was completely beyond their comprehension.

But Zhou Miao was overjoyed; he never expected that a leatherback turtle would appear here.

If it were willing to stay, even just occasionally making an appearance would be a huge gimmick!

From now on, there will be no need to rack your brains for promotion, because it will attract countless internet celebrities to come and check in, and then go viral online.

"My God, this...this is still a sea turtle?" Master Sun's lips trembled.

Leatherback sea turtles are rarely seen in coastal waters in China. People living in coastal cities probably haven't seen even the relatively numerous green sea turtles, let alone the large leatherback sea turtles.

Therefore, it is not surprising that one would be shocked upon suddenly seeing such a colossal creature.

"This is a leatherback sea turtle, the largest sea turtle in the world. I have a bit of a connection with it; I met it when I went out to sea yesterday. I didn't expect it to follow me all the way to this fish raft and stay here."

Zhou Miao quickly explained, lest someone suddenly mistake the leatherback turtle for a mythical beast, or an envoy of Mazu, etc.

"I see." Hearing that it was a normal sea turtle, Master Sun's awe and fear slowly subsided. He lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and then exclaimed in amazement, "It's huge! I've worked by the sea my whole life, and this is the first time I've ever seen a sea turtle this big!"

The five employees he brought with him also gathered around to watch the spectacle, and some even took out their phones to take pictures.

"Yes, I've really learned something new."

"I need to take some photos and post them on WeChat Moments so everyone can see them."

"This is the first time I've ever seen a live sea turtle."

"Wow, that's amazing! If Boss Zhou hadn't explained it, I would have thought I saw a baby Xuanwu."

"Alright, alright, everyone's had their say, get back to work." After watching the commotion for a while, Master Sun noticed the workers were still gathered there and took the initiative to shoo them back.

As for Zhou Miao, he watched the leatherback turtle disappear back into the water, pondering why it had followed him to the shore.

At the same time, judging from its appearance, it seems to have lingered on its own fishing raft for a while.

and many more!

He suddenly remembered that his fish raft seemed to have a special buff. Could it be that the leatherback turtles were staying because of the fish that were attracted to the bottom of the water?

In that case, it's quite possible that it might actually stay.

Zhou Miao didn't know whether the vanished leatherback turtle had returned to the bottom of the water or left.

He planned to fish, and if the leatherback turtle surfaced again, he would feed it.

If it thinks there's plenty of food here, it might stay.

Even if you can't stay, it's good to come back and visit often.

He quickly went to the fishing tackle shop at the dock to buy shrimp bricks and special-recipe Antarctic shrimp, then went back to the fishing raft to get his fishing rod and started fishing right there on the side of the raft.

The noise the workers are making might scare away some fish.

However, because of the buff and the fact that the fishing rafts did not move, the fish would not all leave.

Sure enough, Zhou Miao prepared the baited area and then baited it with krill. Less than ten seconds after the hook and bait entered the water, a small fish took the bait.

He easily caught the fish by turning the handle; it was a red snapper, about two fingers wide, and quite beautiful.

However, the fish were too small and had no economic value, so Zhou Miao put them in the tank to keep them.

He dared not use a fish basket; if there were too many fish and the leatherback turtles discovered it, the fish basket would most likely be pulled away.
