"This is the rhythm of the island. Everyone is here on vacation. You are a big city and need to be in a hurry?" Chen Jiajun hugged Bo Mai and turned to look at Ye Fei. A strand of hair on her forehead was curled up, making people want to hurry. Can't help but want to press it down for her, "There is no shortage of people in the kitchen. Some students will come to dive shop this afternoon, and you will be busy in the future."

Ye Fei nodded.

He joked, "Are you going to drink a mango milkshake?"

"Who said this?"

"Forgot? The big list you signed earlier. Mango, coconut, pineapple."

"Do you still remember." Ye Feiran suddenly thought of something, "So, working at Joy's not only includes board and lodging, but also milkshakes!"

Chen Jiajun's stern face: "Let you do it wherever you are. You are still picky? You will take Bo Mai to watch the DVD, "Finding Nemo". You can teach her to speak English.

"How much does Bo Mai know?"

"Basically understand, and can say some."

Ye Fei was modest: "I'll speak slowly, and try to be more standard."

"It's okay, what I heard here was a weird accent. It's good to get used to it in advance."

Ye Fei curled his lips: "Yes, your accent is pretty good."

Chen Jiajun was not polite: "Talent."

"..."

Ye Fei took Bo Mai and sat in the lobby to watch the animation. When she was preparing for the lecture, she watched a lot of documentaries and websites introducing marine life, thinking that it is also useful now, so she pointed to the screen and asked: "What is Nemo's home?"

"Anemone (sea anemone)." Bo Mai's voice was crisp, speaking very slowly, but speaking clearly.

"It's teacher?"

"Eagle ray."

Ye Fei asked a few questions repeatedly, and the little girl was quite frustrated. Chen Jiajun heard the conversation between the two and sneered: "What did I say? The kindergarten kids know more than you."

Bo Mai finished watching the animation and said, "Can you tell me a story?"

Ye Fei thought for a while: "The Little Mermaid? Snow White? Many I don't know how to speak English."

Bo Mai shook his head: "I've heard it."

"Then do you know the Monkey King? He can become another animal, and he especially likes to eat peaches. He was sent to take care of many peach trees..."

Bo Mai interrupted her: "What is a peach?"

Ye Fei helpless: "What do you like, I will make up one for you."

She pointed out the door: "The sea."

Thinking of Bo Mai's life experience, and seeing her clear eyes when looking at the sea, Ye Fei's heart softened. She sat at the table, took a pen and paper, and while drawing, she said: "Did you know, there is an island. The other places are no different from ours, but the two ends of the island are very slender, like two in the water. Ribbon. In the moonless night, the stars in the sky are particularly bright. Standing in the middle of the island, you can no longer tell whether the sky is stars or gravel. Walk along the ribbon in the water, keep walking, and you can walk to the sky. By the river. There, when you look back, the island is like a nebula in the sky."

Bo Mai looked at her and blinked.

"Uh, I said too much, don't you understand?"

Bo Mai took a pen and drew a small boat: "I can take the boat and walk along the river in the sky, from the beach to the stars."

"My ability to express and your ability to understand are really great!" Ye Fei sighed, "I can see it, you like romantic fantasies."

Bo Mai puzzled: "What is romance? What is fantasy?"

Ye Fei looked at the paper in front of him. There were a few unsmooth curves and a bunch of dots on it. He couldn't laugh or cry. He was a postgraduate student, but he looked after the children in the same way as a foreign teenager.

There are seven or eight trainees in this training course, two of whom are dive masters from other dive shops on the island, and three others arrived on the same boat in the afternoon. After lunch, Qiu Meixin typed their names on A4 paper and gave them to Wanpeng who went to the dock to meet him. He also asked him to drop by to the supermarket to buy daily necessities.

Bo Mai returned to the room for a nap, Ye Fei was bored, and turned his chin on the fish map. Wanpeng started his pickup and poked his head out of the cab: "Faey, go into the city with me."

The so-called towns are just a few more prosperous streets, with two large supermarkets and a number of souvenir shops. Ye Fei jumped up: "Okay, okay!" He looked back at Chen Jiajun inquiringly.

He waved his hand: "Don't run around, come back when you pick up someone."

Along the way, Wanpeng played cheerful songs and sang happily.

Ye Fei smiled: "Inda must have made a lot of chocolate cakes for you!"

He scratched his hair, a little shy, but he couldn't hold back the joy on his face: "You tasted it too? It tastes good, right."

Ye Fei nodded.

"I will work hard to save money and rent a small shop for Inda next year." He was full of hope. "She likes to bake cakes, and she also likes to make crafts."

"You all worked so hard, there must be no problem!" Ye Fei rolled down the car window, and the moist wind came on her face. The pickup drove through the winding road beside the hill, and the sparkling sea behind the woods occasionally appeared, shining brightly in the noon sun.

The two first went to purchase the necessities listed by Qiu Meixin. Ye Fei bought two ice creams, and Wan Peng stood under the pergola on the dock while eating while waiting. The blank paper with the student's name was held in front of him.

When the ferry docked, the passengers passed the trestle one after another. After a while, the three students gathered beside Ye Fei and Wan Peng. One is a local from a neighboring island who once came to the dive shop to work part-time, and started chatting when he saw Wanpeng; the other was a big American, two widths of Ye Fei; the last one was tall, Wearing a broad-brimmed straw hat, sunglasses covering half of his face, and a thin layer of hawthorn on his chin.

It was not difficult to take five people in the pickup truck. The big American took the passenger seat very consciously. The tall young man sat in the back row, looking slightly cramped. He folded his long legs, held his arms and looked at him. Some grievances; the local man sat up and wanted to move in the middle to give Ye Fei a seat.

She closed the door and said, "No, I'll sit in the back." After she walked to the car, she stepped on the iron and turned into the car.

The long-legged young man poked his head out: "How can I let the lady sit in the back?"

Ye Fei rested on the large package of toilet paper and adjusted a comfortable angle: "It's okay, the air is good, I like to sit here."

He only heard the sound of "Bang Dang", he also pushed the door and got out of the car, turned his arm up and said with a smile: "The air here is indeed good, and the view is good."

Ye Fei moved aside, and he leaned his big backpack behind him: "It's also more spacious." As he said, he stretched his waist and stretched his legs. Ye Fei thought, but no, now the whole cargo compartment can't wait to be covered with his legs, sitting in the car is indeed panicking.

Both of them refused to go down, Wan Peng didn't persuade him, and started the pickup, and cheerful songs came out from the cab.

The long-legged young man stretched out his hand and asked, "What's your name?" He spoke in the local language.

When Ye Fei came here twice, he knew a few basic daily greetings and replied: "My name is Fei."

His tone was euphoric: "My name is Jarnes, hello."

Ye Fei replied: "Hello." In addition, she would also say: Thank you, goodbye, good night, have you eaten, how much...

The other party's oral level is estimated to be the same as hers. After thinking for a long time, he took off his hat, pressed it on his chest, said a word, and brushed his light golden forehead on the sunglasses.

Ye Fei puzzled: "What?"

Jaynes buttoned his straw hat back, a little discouraged: "My pronunciation is so bad?" He spoke again in the local language, and said he pulled his T-shirt, which read I love our King in English.

Ye Fei smiled: "Sorry, I am not a local. I am a Chinese, a Chinese Chinese."

Jarnes took off his sunglasses and his eyes sparkled: "What a coincidence! Do you know where I came from?"

Ye Fei looked at his tall nose, light brown eyebrows and deep blue eyes: "Don't say you are also Chinese."

"I've wanted to go to China since I was a kid!" He turned sideways, "I'm from Denmark, Copenhagen. Have you heard of it?"

"Of course I have heard of Andersen." Ye Fei said, "He is also very famous in China, The Little Mermaid."

"Yes, I really like Andersen. But which one of my favorite fairy tales is, do you know?" Jaynes sold it off.

Ye Fei shook his head.

"He wrote an article that happened in China, "Nightingale."

"I have an impression, I can't remember."

"When I was a child, I heard this story, and I always thought that China was very remote and mysterious." Jaynes was excited, talking about the beautiful words and phrases in it, saying that Andersen had also made a collage album, which also appeared in China, and wrote about it. A three-line poem, "The Chinese eat rose syrup, and they wipe their mouths with silk and satin, and half of the house is gilded."

Ye Fei smiled and said, "It's all the imagination of your Europeans."

Yanes also laughed: "There is also the China Tower in the Tivoli Park near my home! When I was a child, I always looked at the globe and wondered if I went to China by bypassing the Arctic Ocean? So I especially wanted to go sailing."

"Probably I can go to Russia... So come to dive now? Not too far away, all in the sea."

"Now? Now I am a hacker."

"Hacker?" Ye Fei was surprised, this profession can also be exposed, isn't it all hidden

"Ha, it's actually checking security vulnerabilities for various companies. They hired us to attack the system."

"Oh, well-known hacker. Sounds pretty cool!"

Jarnes asked: "What about you? Is it the instructor or the divemaster in the shop?"

Ye Fei shook his head: "Neither. I am a shop slave." He sighed inwardly, I am afraid that even this position will be lost.

Jarnes asked: "The coaching course is very busy, right? The course director is not strict?"

"I haven't met Sir Wang yet." Ye Fei said, "The owner of the store is very strict." She thought about it, and added, "But don't worry, the people are pretty nice, it's not difficult to get along with."

The two chatted all the way, and soon returned to the store. Jaynes stood up, took his long legs, and fell to the ground without seeing any jumping movements.

Ye Fei turned out from the car, stepped on the pedals, and was still tens of centimeters above the ground.

Jaynes stretched out his arm, his forearm slightly bent, like an armrest. Ye Fei did not evade, but jumped down with his arm and said, "Thank you."

Jarnes replied gracefully: "My pleasure."

Chen Jiajun briefly talked about the preparatory exercises in the past few days and the arrangement of the formal courses later. Qiu Meixin has already booked the guest rooms for everyone. The students went to the back hall to put down their equipment and went to the resort with their belongings. Jaynes raised his hat: "Little Nightingale, will you still be there for a while? Take me around to eat at the night market, okay?"

Ye Fei was a little embarrassed, who is the little Nightingale.

Chen Jiajun frowned: "Who is the Little Nightingale?"

Jaynes pointed to Ye Fei: "She. Don't you think that she speaks in a nice voice?" After speaking, he whistled and walked briskly to the resort behind.

Ye Fei looked at Chen Jiajun, and the other party laughed sarcastically. She was a little guilty for a moment, but after another thought, she didn't talk to people casually in the bar, so she became confident: "What he wants to call, I can't control."

Chen Jiajun snorted: "Nightingale? The sparrows are almost the same, twittering."

After finishing work in the evening, Yanes rented a heavy motorcycle from a nearby store, and the roar from the backstreet could be heard on the beach. He strode onto the platform, carrying a helmet in one hand, tossing one to Ye Fei, and greeted her cheerfully: "Let's go, Little Nightingale!"

The surrounding employees and tourists swept over. Ye Fei couldn't laugh or cry: "Did you forget my name?"

He laughed: "Of course not. Faey is a good name, but Nightingale is also very nice. Then you know I'm calling you."

"The meal will be ready in a while," Qiu Meixin said, "Let's go out after eating."

"No, let's go to the night market." Jaynes patted the helmet in his hand, "I will study hard every day from tomorrow, so hurry up and go around."

Qiu Meixin said: "There is a sharp turn over there, there are lots of rubble, so ride slowly at night."

Jarnes nodded.

Chen Jiajun said lightly: "Go to sea tomorrow morning to practice, don't come back too late."

Ye Fei flattened her mouth, and she had the illusion that she was scolded by her parents before going out with her classmates.

Jaynes raised his middle finger and index finger together, raised his eyebrows, and saluted: "Understood, boss, Mrs. boss."

Qiu Meixin curled her mouth: "Who said I am the boss's wife? I am a butler."

Ye Fei looked at Chen Jiajun, his expression was as usual, still a calm and cold face.

The two of them drove to the end of the island, watched the sunset under the lighthouse, and then turned back to the village market in the middle of the island, bought barbecue and fruit, and sat on the beach to eat and talk. Yanes talked about his travels in Southeast Asia over the past year, learning diving during the day and hacking at night. Ye Fei told him the real China, the places she traveled, the beautiful scenery, and the lives of the locals.

Talking about the cool night breeze, the two got up and walked back.

Jaynes said: "Forgot to let you wear an extra dress."

"It's okay, the temperature is very comfortable, I will go back soon."

"The faster the car, the bigger the wind. It will be a little cold." He said, taking off his shirt and putting it on Ye Fei, "I have a T-shirt."

She wants to give in. Jarnes held her shoulders and smiled: "This is what a man should do. As a lady, you should accept his kindness."

He deliberately used an accented tone and made an exaggerated "inviting" gesture. Ye Fei smiled and bent over, but did not decline.
