In the early hours, a strong wind suddenly rose at sea.
The small boat struggled to make headway, nearly capsizing multiple times from the crashing waves.
The boatman's expression grew serious as he gestured with his hands to Gu Shi.
It was then that Tang Nuanning realized the boatman was mute. He used sign language to tell Gu Shi that the wind was getting stronger and it wouldn't be long before heavy rain began. Continuing to sail in the small boat would be very dangerous.
Gu Shi seemed to have already checked the weather, his expression unchanging.
He glanced at the time and said to the boatman, "Stick to the plan."
The boatman nodded and continued rowing.
Gu Shi moved to the other side of the small boat, brought over two sets of diving gear, and asked Tang Nuanning, "Do you know how to wear this?"
Tang Nuanning frowned, "We're going in the water?"
"Yes, the wind is too strong, and there will be a heavy rain soon. It's not safe on the boat."
