In this world, there may be no one who can rely on plastic surgery to look exactly like Su Jin.
But Mu Xiulun didn't know that not only was there someone who looked exactly like Su Jintian, but that person's name was also "Su Jin".
…
thousands of miles away.
Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory, Australia.
"Damn!!! This network signal booster must be a fake!!!"
A series of curses erupted in the narrow employee lounge. Edwin, a docile and shy Canadian young man on weekdays, stared at the screen of his laptop with a "violent" face. The stepped signal sign in the lower right corner of the screen was only a pitiful one.
Kakadu is good everywhere. There are few people, many animals, quiet and lonely. For those who are unwilling to deal with human beings, it is definitely a paradise in their dreams.
— But Xanadu also needs to be connected to the Internet! !
Edwin is an out-and-out otaku. Apart from spending his time on the never-ending PHD thesis, he also spends his time on the colorful Internet.
It's a pity that Kakadu National Park is too vast to be a suitable place for human habitation. Apart from animals, there are only a limited number of staff living here. The cost of erecting signal towers here is too high, and the cost cannot be recovered at all, so stepping into Kakadu means giving up the bustling online world.
Taking advantage of his vacation, Edwin drove hundreds of kilometers to the capital Darwin to buy a network signal amplifier, but no matter how he adjusted it, the signal here was still only one bar weak.
Can't open the video.
I can't read the news.
Gossip, no way to share.
It's quite convenient to send an email to contact the instructor...
Edwin's thoughts filled every corner of the lounge, but no one paid attention to him. Binny is in her forties, and the two kids at home like to surf the Internet, but she can't understand the messages on the Internet; Ivanovic, an old soldier, surfs the Internet just to watch the lap dance of beautiful Russian girls, but she can't Net, then drink more wine and watch it in your dreams...
Edwin really needed support, his eyes turned around in the lounge, and moved to a slim figure with his back facing him.
The position in front of the glass window has an excellent view and the best lighting. It has been occupied by Ivanovic in the past, but two months ago, he took the initiative to give up the position to a new volunteer. Make people blind.
"Su, you...don't you go online?" Edwin asked courageously. Just saying such a greeting, his face was already flushed red.
The girl whose name was called by him looked up from the book, and she marked it with a bookmark without haste, and then turned around, looking at the young boy with a self-rolled head with a pair of smiling eyes.
"I don't use the Internet," she said. "I bring a lot of books, and that's enough for me."
Obviously she is not very old, but her hobbies are completely different from those of today's young people.
Edwin always thought this new volunteer was too special. This Chinese girl named Su Jinqing lives "isolated" from the outside world. She does not use the Internet or mobile phone, and she is never seen contacting friends and family. A few months ago, she came here with a small suitcase. Everyone thought that a delicate girl like her would not be able to adapt to the boring life in Kakadu. Unexpectedly, she not only stayed, but also adapted exceptionally good.
Edwin still remembered that when she first arrived here, she had long hair hanging around her waist. It was a black color he had never seen before, shining brightly in the sun, and even the wings of the phoenix butterfly couldn't touch it. comparable to.
But from the next day, for the convenience of movement, the girl tied up her hair with a wooden hairpin—the Chinese are amazing, they can eat with thin and long sticks, and they can also use the same small sticks to hold their hair. hair.
Edwin withdrew his gaze, and only dared to stare at a small piece of ground in front of his toes: "I also like reading books, but the Internet is also very interesting. There will be a lot of news on the Internet that is not in the book, and you can watch videos and so on. "
"I'm not interested in those." Su Jinqing said in a low voice, "The camera is controlled by someone else, and what it records is never the most real life, but a short story that has been packaged and screened. That story It might be funny, it might be touching, but it’s a packaged commodity.”
Edwin: "..."
He sometimes felt that Su Jinqing was mature far beyond her age. She obviously looked like a delicate flower, but what she did and said was like a tough vine, tightly wrapping herself.
Edwin wanted to say something else, but suddenly, the alarm clock hanging on the wall rang—at seven o'clock in the evening, it was time for the Huangshuitan sunset cruise.
"I'm sorry Sue, I'm going to trouble you these days." Binny was sitting in a wheelchair. Her right foot was wrapped in a bandage. When she got off the boat last week, she sprained her foot. The doctor said she should at least rest twenty days.
Every evening, the sunset cruise in Huangshuitan is the most essential work. Tourists who come to Kakadu National Park are looking forward to taking a boat across the Yellow Water Pool to admire the saltwater crocodiles basking in the sun on the tidal flats.
There were only a few of their employees in this area. Originally, Binnie was responsible for the sunset and sunrise cruises, but after she was injured, she could only distribute the work to other people.
Edwin is a social horror, and asking him to guide tourists would kill him; not to mention Ivanovic, with a bald head, scars and tattoos, and a vicious body, more terrifying than a saltwater crocodile in the water .
So she finally decided to hand over the daily sunrise and sunset cruises to Su Jinqing.
Originally, Binnie was a little worried, but who would have thought that Su Jinqing, who had just arrived for three months, not only memorized the guide fluently, but also faced so many pairs of eyes staring at her, she was not stage-frightened at all, and her attitude was generous, As if born to live in the attention of others.
"It's okay Binnie, I'm happy to help you." Su Jinqing got up, took off the work ID and the walkie-talkie hanging on the wall, and walked out of the lounge.
…
On the pier, a tour boat that can hold a hundred people is docked there.
The cabin is open, and the guardrails around the board are dense and high to prevent tourists from accidentally falling into the water.
The hull is flat, the draft is very shallow, and it is dangerous to step on it, but this danger is also the fun of cruising in Huangshuitan.
The Huangshuitan River Basin is vast. For the convenience of management, different areas are divided and different workstations are in charge. The tourists on the boat are all from the previous area. They are lying on the railing with great interest, taking pictures, enjoying the scenery, and recording all the beautiful things here with the camera.
Su Jinqing tidied up her uniform and walked to the pier.
Kakadu's employee uniforms are the dirtiest khaki, basically without any sense of design, just like the labor insurance uniforms of the 1980s. Wearing this set of clothes on other people is like putting on an ugly big sack. When the wind blows, the sack will be blown up.
However, no matter how ugly the clothes are, they can show an extraordinary style on Su's body. She has a thin frame and is a natural hanger. On top of the head, it is extra refreshing and pleasant.
She walked quickly to the cruise ship, her dark eyes swept over the tourists gathered on the deck in twos and threes, and she was silently reciting the tour commentary in her head.
But when her eyes fell on the stern, her movements came to a sudden halt.
Her pupils constricted and her expression froze. She stood stiffly on the deck, as if a small animal had encountered a natural enemy.
However, the person who made her look like this was not Yan Luo, a blue-faced Yan Luo with three heads and six arms, but a seemingly ordinary Asian family.
A family of five gathered at the stern, the elderly were kind, the husband and wife were loving, and the children were well-behaved and obedient. However, the Chinese they spit out from time to time is enough to instantly disintegrate the high defensive wall she built for herself in the past three months.
... She thought that leaving her homeland, quitting the entertainment circle, and hiding in this paradise where there were almost no outsiders, she could enjoy loneliness by herself. However, this sudden Chinese family disrupted all her plans.
Will they recognize her
Will they post her picture online
How angry would the agency know she was here
Can those fans who were left behind by her forgive her for leaving without saying goodbye? …
Su Jinqing tightly held the armrest, forcing herself not to be eroded by the countless distracting thoughts that suddenly popped up in her mind.
"Su Jin, you don't have to think about it." Suddenly, a hoarse male voice sounded behind him, "I have already inquired for you just now, the overseas Chinese are the third generation of immigrants, and have almost no contact with their former relatives and friends, no Might recognize you."
A man's words were the best reassurance. Su Jinqing's tense body relaxed inch by inch. From the man's point of view, she could just see that small bone protruding from the back of her neck.
Su Jinqing turned to look at him.
The man has a strong body that is rarely seen in Asians. He is close to 1.9 meters tall, with strong muscles, a thin beard on his chin, and extremely short hair, revealing his blue scalp. Because he often wandered around in the wetlands, his skin was very tanned. His eyelids always covered half of his eyes as if he couldn't wake up, but Su Jinqing couldn't ignore the ironic coldness hidden in his eyes.
"How many times have I told you that my name is not Su Jin." The petite Su Jinqing was in front of him, and she had to look up to see his face clearly. "I am Su Jinqing, and I will only be Su Jinqing."
Yes. As early as when the two met for the first time, this mysterious man named "Lin" had already recognized Su Jinqing's identity.
Before Su Jinqing applied for a volunteer position in Kakadu National Park, she never expected that there would be a volunteer from China like her.
Lin's English level is not high, even worse than Ivanovic. However, in Kakadu, no one dared to disrespect him.
After all, he single-handedly picked out an entire poaching group, and rescued a whole boat of saltwater crocodiles from them!
Wherever a man goes, he always takes his air gun with him, but now, in his hand, he is holding a long and thin bamboo pole with a sharp metal thorn on one end, which looks very much like a Chinese gun. The ancient "long gun".
It's just that this spear is not used as a weapon, but as a tool for feeding crocodiles. When the cruise ship reaches the water pool, the spear will be covered with bloody fresh meat and put into the water to attract the crocodiles in the pool to jump out of the water and snatch the fresh meat. Uneasy, Binnie handed over "Crocodile Jump" to the quiet and thin Su Jinqing, so she simply sent Lin on board and asked the two to work together.
Therefore, during the sunset cruise in Huangshuitan every day, tourists will see two young Asian faces. One Yanyan Yanyan is responsible for explaining to everyone, and the other is cold and cold, responsible for the thrilling crocodile jump. There are even tourists who don't know where they are, and secretly ask if they are lovers before disembarking.
Unfortunately, the relationship between the two is far from as close as they imagined.
On the contrary... Some things are incompatible.
"Su Jin, it's useless for you to deny it." Lin sneered, "Seeing a few people on the boat who might recognize her identity, I was so frightened that I couldn't even go on the road. Why, are you planning to let me take you away?" Hug it?"
Su Jinqing: "..."
Lin has a bad temper, and it can even be said to be very bad. And Lin, who has a bad temper, hates Su Jin every day.
"I don't know why you came to Kakadu, and I don't want to know why, but you've been on vacation for so long, and it's time to go back."
"Why should I go back?" Su Jinqing asked back, "I entered the circle because I had nowhere to go; and I left the circle because I wanted to find a more suitable path for me."
After her mother passed away, the last reason for her to stay in the entertainment industry also disappeared. She wanted to be Su Jinqing again, the Su Jinqing she had buried in her heart for three years. She is delicate but strong; she is weak but stubborn. She has never been the well-dressed rag doll in the hands of the agency.
'Su Jin' has disappeared, and when she left, she didn't even take a penny of money that didn't belong to her.
When she came to Kakadu, on the one hand, she really needed to avoid the crowds, and most importantly, she really liked the work of wetland volunteers. Although it was hard work, she enjoyed it.
However, in some quiet nights, she would feel guilty for those fans who helped her and loved her.
If it's possible... She actually wants to know, how are they going to be after she leaves
Before she knew it, Su Jinqing actually uttered the words in her heart.
There was an imperceptible gleam in Lin's eyes: "So you also miss fans? Count me... It's worth counting their likes."
The man clenched the deck handrail beside him: "If you want to go online, go to Edwin."
