Undercurrent

"That's right." Luo Ying's tone was calm and collected.

Lu Zhao's heart skipped another beat when a ship's horn rang out from her end.

"Are you on a ship?" asked Lu Zhao.

Luo Ying chuckled. "What ship? The production crew is testing out their sound system. I'll have them play it again."

The horn rang out again. Lu Zhao could practically taste the sea breeze.

Now certain that Luo Ying had not boarded the ship, Lu Zhao let out a sigh of relief.

"Do look out for yourself, okay?" Lu Zhao issued a tense order.

"Yes," said Luo Ying.

Luo Ying glanced at Jin Shi when she finished her call. "Thank you, Third Brother."

Jin Shi lowered the phone he was holding. He had been playing the horn's sound effect on it.

It was obvious that they had a tacit understanding of each other. Together, they had tricked their older brother in the past, and now they had tricked Lu Zhao.
