The girl was wet and uncomfortable, but she answered his question patiently, "Well, sharks have a keen sense of smell, so they can easily smell blood in the ocean and be attracted by the smell of blood to chase people who fall into the water for thousands of kilometers. But because their noses are too sensitive, they don't like irritating smells, especially the ones I asked you to prepare, lemon, mint and coriander, which are the smells they hate the most. You can drive them away when necessary."
"Then how do you know they can't catch up?" Sam still didn't quite understand.
Qiao Nian wrung the seawater off his clothes and said calmly, "This is thanks to today's sea breeze. The southeast wind is blowing today, and the wind will drive the water flow faster."
"What you're asking is a math question. If you're interested, I'll have someone send you two books when I get back."
Sam's eyes sparkled and he finally grinned, "Thank you."
Qiao Nian didn't like the sticky feeling of clothes sticking to her body, so she reminded him, "Grandma is old, go back to get warm and change clothes first."
Sam reacted, turned around and saw his grandmother's lips turned white from the cold. He no longer had the mood to continue talking to Qiao Nian. He quickly said something to everyone else and anxiously took his grandmother home.
Qiao Nian also followed them slowly, walking towards Sam's house step by step.
…
When they went back, they ran into a man who was out looking for someone. The man was standing in the rain with an umbrella, and the wooden houses on the island were made to look like a holiday villa by him.
Ye Wangchuan said something to Sam with a smile on his lips. Sam gave him a grateful smile and took the old man back to his own cabin.
Qiao Nian saw a man holding a black umbrella and walking slowly towards her... Her heart trembled for no reason, and she felt inexplicably guilty. She didn't look at him with her eyes flickering, and reached out to touch the tip of her nose.
Just when she was still wondering why her heart was trembling, an umbrella appeared above her head to shield her from the wind and rain.
The expected rebuke did not come. The man just tilted the umbrella in his hand over her head and said to her, "Go back and change your clothes first, don't catch a cold." Qiao Nian finally raised her eyelids to look at him, her black eyes full of confusion, as if she couldn't understand why he didn't react and looked so calm.
Ye Wangchuan took her hand, pulled her back into the house, and prepared the bath water.
Then he came out and said to Qiao Nian, "Take a shower first. I'll go get some clothes from Sam."
Qiao Nian watched him walk out calmly and close the door. She was confused for a moment and decided to take off her clothes and take a shower.
The sea water is salty, and it feels uncomfortable when it sticks to the body. Fortunately, Ye Wangchuan prepared hot water, and Qiao Nian quickly took a bath.
When I got up, I saw that he had folded his clothes and placed them at the door without me noticing.
Qiao Nian stretched out his hand and took it in and changed it.
The clothes here have a strong local flavor, probably because there is no white one. The cardigan that Qiao Nianxin put on is more like a celebratory garment worn during local festivals, with rich colors that are bold and bright.
The girl's fair skin is decorated with rainbow-colored stripes, revealing two snow-white arms. She is slim yet powerful, a very local style.
It was the first time that Qiao Nian tried this style of clothing and she felt a little uncomfortable wearing it. By the time she changed and walked out, she had no time to open her eyes before asking him how he felt.
Ye Wangchuan grabbed her arm and led her into the room. He kicked the door of her room open, strode in and pulled her in.
