"Oh..." She drew back, walked angrily to the bottom of the steps, and sat down on a crossbar on the beach.
"Where did you go?" After a few minutes, Chen Jiajun's figure appeared on the terrace, akimbo, sneered, "Let you go outside, who told you to sit on the beach."
"Safe, so I don't have to be punished by you again."
He came over, sat on the steps, and stretched out his hand: "Mangosteen."
Ye Fei handed one, and he squeezed it: "It's pretty fresh. Do you know how to tell how many pieces of meat are inside?"
She nodded: "Wanpeng taught me just now. Look at the flowers in the back."
"Oh, you know everything now." Chen Jiajun squeezed the nut shell cleanly, without any juice on his fingers.
The two did not speak much, and sat on the steps up and down, eating a dozen mangosteens in their pockets. Chen Jiajun pulled the rubber tube connected to the faucet and rinsed the place where the nut shell had been left off.
"Why are you back again?" he asked.
"Um... I want to say goodbye to everyone..."
"I mean, when I came back from the market, why did you come to the store again." Chen Jiajun instructed her to tie up the garbage bag and throw it in a plastic bucket on the beach.
"Put the bread down, tomorrow's breakfast." This reason was not sufficient, she just wanted to come back and have a look, so she wandered. Ye Fei thought for a while, and continued, "I want to look at the fish map and recognize a few more."
Chen Jiajun raised his eyebrows to look at her: "You look at the fish map as if you were looking at the recipe."
Ye Fei curled his lips: "I'm not to blame. I have only been to the supermarket, and I haven't seen them swimming in the water."
"Don't look, what can you remember in the past two days." He turned around and walked to the office with a look of disdain.
Ye Fei was stunned in place: "It's too small to look down on people, it's better not to look at it!"
Chen Jiajun had already walked to the door, turned around and waved: "What are you doing standing stupid, come here."
"Have you brought a USB flash drive?" he asked.
Ye Fei nodded, her keychain kept hanging on one.
"I'll give you some videos and photos. Go back and watch them again." He sat down, saved the video he had just made, and opened the picture folder.
She probed and looked at the thumbnails all over the screen: "You took the pictures?"
"Yeah." Chen Jiajun clicked on the photos and turned them over one by one. The underwater world in his lens is gorgeous and clear, with colorful soft and hard corals, tropical fishes of various shapes, free-swimming sharks, sea turtles, and magnificent schools of fish like storm vortexes.
Ye Fei praised: "It's great, it's a professional level!"
Chen Jiajun's tone was plain: "We have worked with many magazines, including National Geographic."
"So amazing! They were all taken near here?"
"There are also other islands. I haven't been to it for a long time." He rubbed his temples. "The dive shop has been too busy these two years, and I have less time."
Ye Fei glanced at the photo information: "The pixels are quite high, don't worry about copyright issues?"
"You?" Chen Jiajun looked up at her and shook his head, "Non-commercial display, you use it at will. If more people see it, it is not a bad thing. People will only care about the creatures they know and protect the ones they love. "
He slowed down and introduced the names of various marine creatures in the pictures, their characteristics and habits one by one. His voice was mellow, he spoke calmly, relaxed and relaxed, plus some interesting anecdotes from diving, Ye Fei listened intently, unknowingly he had seen nearly a hundred photos, and he still didn't know what to say.
Chen Jiajun created a new text document on the U disk and entered the links of several websites, "These are all good, you can go back and take a look."
Ye Fei looked at him, and only felt that he was different from usual. He put away his aggressive edge, gentle and calm, with a calm and introverted attitude. When talking about the ocean, there is deep love and tenderness in peace.
Chen Jiajun noticed her staring gaze and smiled slightly: "Why, too much talk, I didn't remember?"
Ye Fei shook his head: "I think this is your favorite thing. Speaking of these, the whole person's tone is different."
Chen Jiajun smiled: "Hobbies are not work, of course they are different."
"You are fierce at work." Ye Fei thought for a while. It wasn't fierce, it was too majestic and made people feel oppressive.
"Now you dare to talk to me like this, and be more polite, you won't rebel?" He snorted, "This is for business, and many people are pointing to me for dinner."
What he said suddenly flashed in his mind, being busy is the healing medicine. Ye Fei joked: "Or, did you deliberately keep yourself busy?"
Chen Jiajun pursed his lips and said nothing.
Ye Fei realized that he had asked abruptly, coughed slightly, and changed the subject: "Speaking of dinner, I will invite everyone tonight." She took out her pockets, "Take out the money for the bus and ferry tickets to the airport, and the rest Order a few stir-fries and eat two curry crabs. It’s no problem. I will close tomorrow and gather in the store. How about?"
"Your salary is still a treat. It seems that I have given too much." Chen Jiajun jokingly said, "Well, I will tell you tomorrow, give them a surprise."
Returning from diving the next day, Wenka and Wanpung drove their pickup trucks to send back several tourists who lived on other beaches. When they came back, the two took a large cardboard box from the carriage. Some tourists from Europe hadn't left yet, and they covered their noses: "What smell, is there a sewage pipe nearby?"
Ye Fei ran over, lifted a corner of the lid, and his eyes lit up: "Where did so many durians come from?"
"The boss asked me to buy it." Wanpeng said, "There are mangosteen and pineapple on the back seat. Go get it."
Zheng Yunchang also came, and Song Xi behind him was holding a case of wine, whiskey, rum, tequila, vodka... everything. Zheng Yunchang said with a smile: "Jia Jun said you want to treat us, we can't come empty-handed, right."
Ye Fei looked back and saw Chen Jiajun standing on the edge of the platform. He curled his mouth: "Surprise."
When she saw the box of durians, she suddenly remembered something, and let out a laugh.
Chen Jiajun asked: "What are you laughing at."
"It's okay." Ye Fei laughed louder, eyes and mouth bent together, just refused to tell him.
Chloe held her shoulders: "What's the matter?"
Ye Fei asked: "Do you eat durian?"
"Eat."
She attached to Chloe's ear: "I am thorny and smelly, but it is actually quite popular. Isn't this the boss?"
Chloe was startled and laughed. He looked at Ye Fei narrowly and blinked: "You mean, KC is delicious?"
Ye Fei was embarrassed and glanced at Chen Jiajun. Fortunately, he had already walked away and did not hear the two of them.
Sabre prepared a charcoal fire, and ordered a variety of skewers and sauces with the store. Wenka and Wanpeng set up two long tables on the beach, covered with checkered tablecloths, and lighted a few candles in their water glasses. Inda brought a lot of dishes and a pot of glutinous rice from the store, "KC said you will leave tomorrow, and today we will have a see-off party."
Ye Fei was flattered: "It's too grand."
"Don't be proud, it's not just for you." Chen Jiajun glanced at her, "It will be the Spring Festival in two days, and there has been no party in the store for a long time."
In the end, Ye Fei’s task was just to buy some squid rings and French fries, and bring them back to serve everyone.
Songxi rushed back to take care of the bar. Chen Jiajun stood at the long table, all kinds of wine bottles and ice buckets were laid out, and he took a few cans of soft drinks: "What do you all want to drink? Unfortunately, the ingredients are not complete, and some cocktails can't be made. ."
Ye Fei was speechless: "You really are a senior alcoholic, you know everything."
Chen Jiajun sneered: "When I first came to the island, I worked in a bar."
Chloe joked: "Just like Song Xi and strike up a conversation with a girl?"
"I never strike up a conversation with girls." He shook his head.
Zheng Yunchang smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Only girls have always talked to him."
While talking, he made a cup of Pina Colada (Pina Colada), raised his chin, motioned to Ye Fei to come and picked it up, raised his eyebrows and said: "Do you think you really like drinking? Look at your favorite drink, it's not because it contains pineapples. juice?"
Ye Fei smiled: "Perhaps."
"Definitely like Baili Tian." Chen Jiajun snorted, "Obviously like drinking sugar water, I have to learn from others to drink."
She took the cup suspiciously: "I am allowed to drink today?"
Chen Jiajun nodded: "Inda will stop work in a while and let her look at you. Just don't run around. We have to celebrate."
"celebrate New Year?"
He raised his eyebrows: "Celebrate you are finally leaving."
Ye Fei raised the durian.
"Hey, that's a murder weapon!" Chen Jiajun smiled narrowly, "Durian is very expensive this season, put it down quickly."
Zheng Yunchang said: "Come back in the summer. The small durians from the village will be ripe. They are cheap and delicious."
Ye Fei did what they did, mixing soft durian meat with glutinous rice, and topping it with coconut milk, making it fragrant. She lowered her head and stirred: "I'm still a student, and it's too expensive to come here."
Chloe said: "Summer is the off-season, maybe I and Scar will go to other islands. But the store has to open coaching courses, it also needs manpower, and you can still hire you. Right, KC
Chen Jiajun turned his head and curled his lips: "You are in charge. When will I have the final say in the store?"
Zheng Yunchang smiled: "It doesn't matter, there are not many people as serious as you, Monkey Bar welcomes you back anytime."
Ye Fei sighed lightly: "I don't know. The future plans have been disrupted, so I have to think about what to do in the future."
The night breeze on the seashore is breezy, and eating skewers by the charcoal fire does not feel stuffy. Zheng Yunchang went back to the bar and changed Songxi over. He carried the guitar on his back, arm in arm with Jasmine, and came along the edge of the waves. In the candlelight, everyone sang old songs together.
Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Everyone's face was half-bright and half-dark, and smiles spread across their slightly sullen faces.
"The next song, Faey will sing with us!" Song Xi pointed at her, "Leaving on a Jetplane."
He played the guitar and sang happily and relaxedly
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leaving on a jetplane
In the second paragraph, he changed the jetplane to the Clippers speedboat, pointed his finger at Ye Fei, and when he sang "kiss me", he turned his face and nodded his cheek. Ye Fei lifted the durian shell towards him.
Songxi sang halfway, and laughed: "Forget it, this is not a song for you. I can only sing to my baby, Jasmine." He plucked the strings and looked at the girl beside him tenderly. , Slowing down the tempo:
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Jasmine looked at him with a soft expression, and there was a clear spring in her eyes, watery.
Song Xi sang another slow song:
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow
Ye Fei hadn't heard this song before. Seeing Chen Jiajun who was across the long table also humming softly, she asked, "Whose song is this and what's its name?"
He answered, Ye Fei did not hear clearly.
"What?" she asked, leaning on the table, turning sideways, wanting to hear more clearly. Chen Jiajun also happened to be possessed: "Or..."
He had just said the title of the song, and his lips were still slightly curled up. The two happened to meet each other, his lips, rubbing her ears, were soft, moist, and a little warm.
Chen Jiajun quickly flashed away, and the brief touch, if there was none, was like a breeze passing by.
"Ordinary People, John Legend's song." He stood up straight and said flatly.
"Oh, I haven't heard of..." Ye Fei nodded as he pecked at the rice, his throat tight. She thought that the boss was right and really shouldn't drink. After only a few drinks, her face became hot and she seemed to be unable to move.
A customer in the store walked by the beach and saw the people laughing and came over to say hello. Chen Jiajun turned around and talked with them. He was wearing the T-shirt from the shop, his shoulders just stretched out, and his cuffs were a little loose, showing his well-proportioned and powerful arms. He stood a few meters away from Ye Fei, drinking and laughing with others, without looking at her again.
Ye Fei flattened his mouth, went back to sit next to Chloe, and glanced at Chen Jiajun several times, but he was always looking in other directions. She felt a little empty in her heart, and she always felt that she still had a lot to ask him. She is curious about his life experience and his legendary experience in the crowd over the years, but she also knows that he will not easily show his heart to others. Then, might as well listen to him to talk about the beloved sea and the creatures in the sea. Chen Jiajun like that, put down his guard, and no longer looks like a bad-tempered durian.
The candlelight was fading, and it was about to burn to its end. Everyone left one after another, hugging and saying goodbye to Ye Fei one by one.
Uncle Wenka said: "I have been on the island, see you next time!"
Ye Fei smiled and asked Wanpeng: "I guess you don't want to go anywhere else?"
Wanpeng coy. She smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Waiting for your good news."
Scar said briefly and forcefully: "Fai, take care, see you next time!"
Chloe and Ye Fei hugged again and again, reluctant to give up, repeatedly saying that they would meet again in a certain corner of the earth in the future. Chen Jiajun stood by, holding his arms and smiling: "There is no end."
Chloe pushed Ye Fei: "KC is waiting to say goodbye to you."
She turned around, a little unable to move, and stretched out her arms, but her body was a little stiff. Standing in front of him, she always felt awkward no matter what her posture was. Chen Jiajun leaned over and hugged her generously. He was very tall, and Ye Fei stood on tiptoe subconsciously.
Chen Jiajun's movements are neat, but the hand is very light, only will be put on her back. He withdrew, raised his eyebrows, and asked in Chinese, "Is he really gone this time?"
"Well, really."
"You will come back again, but there will be no see-off party. It was a waste of everyone's feelings." He said, "A safe journey and take care."
"You also take care and eat less instant noodles."
"It's so wide." He curled his eyebrows to look at her, but the corners of his mouth curled up, "Don't be naughty when you go back, and don't hurt yourself for the sake of others."
Ye Fei also laughed, following his tone of voice: "It's so generous." He smiled and smiled, but his nose was a little sour.
Early the next morning, she would rush to the ferry to take a boat, and then take the car to the airport. When they came to the beach with their bags, most of the shops still had their doors closed. Only the stalls were busy opening early. When the vendors saw her, they smiled and nodded in greeting.
The front door of Scuba Libre was deserted, with only traces of charcoal charred by the wooden table on the beach. Ye Fei thought for a while, ran onto the platform in slippers, and stepped on a string of sand footprints.
I don't know what kind of expression Chen Jiajun looked on when he saw it.
Until the end, I didn't say goodbye.
