Ye Fei woke up early in the morning to hear the buzzing of the fan, and she was startled for a while. Her mind still seemed to be a deep, quiet dark blue night sky, studded with stars that shone like fine diamonds. I am ignorant and can't even tell whether the conversation last night really happened, or whether it was a dream. On the way to the dive shop, she was in a happy mood, easy on her feet, and some inexplicable tension.
Qiu Meixin still arrived very early, preparing coffee and sandwiches. Ye Fei glanced at the whiteboard. Today, several students went to sea with Chen Jiajun to review the technical essentials as a preliminary preparation for the coaching course. She counted the number of people and helped Wenka prepare gas cylinders.
Jaynes also arrived, shouting: "Little Nightingale, early." Seeing she was about to carry a gas cylinder, stretched her arm to stop her aside, "I'll do it."
"I can move it." Ye Fei was eager to try.
"I believe it!" he smiled, "but this is what a man should do."
Jarnes asked as he walked: "Will you go out to sea with us in a while?"
Ye Fei shook his head: "I can't dive."
"You work in a dive shop, you can't even dive." He was surprised, and added quickly, "I didn't mean to offend, I just felt it was a pity."
"Yes, when I came last time, I lost my wallet and my ears were inflamed."
"It's okay, you can learn this time." Jaynes put the gas cylinder under the equipment rack and looked down at her. "Wait for me to pass the qualification exam, will you be my first student?"
"Ah..." Ye Fei wanted to say. The boss promised to teach me. It was clearly a fair deal that she wrote and promoted. At this time, it was like a secret agreement, and she couldn't say anything in front of everyone.
Jaynes was excited: "Don't worry about the cost, just have the cost of teaching materials and registration card. I don't charge you tuition."
"You have to pass the exam first." She thought of an excuse.
"I have confidence in this! Moreover, the coaching courses here have a good reputation, and the pass rate is very high."
Ye Fei said perfunctorily, couldn't help but glance in Chen Jiajun's direction. He was not far away, drinking coffee at the terrace table while writing casually, seeming not to hear the conversation between the two.
Ye Fei breathed a sigh of relief, and there was also a faint loss in his heart.
Jarnes went to the backyard and continued to get the gas cylinder. Chen Jiajun put down the coffee cup, the pen in his hand did not stop: "Ye Fei, come here."
"Oh." She replied, walked up the steps and stood beside him. Looking at it from this angle, his brow bones are well-defined, his nose is straight, the morning breeze is blowing softly, and the T-shirt is loosely attached , The collarbone and the neckline showed a gap.
Ye Fei remembered the saliva he swallowed yesterday, and suddenly didn't know how to breathe, his throat choked.
"This is what you are going to do these days." Chen Jiajun handed her the piece of paper, "Don't ask others every day, understand?"
Ye Fei took it. There are a few lines of beautiful and fluent English, listing dates and work content, mainly for the logistics of the coaching course. "The formal course will take two days, right?" She said, "Then these two days..."
"Write your article." He raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Fei. "Wearing a swimsuit today?"
She nodded.
"Bring the top mirror and flippers, and go to sea with us later.
"Study today?" Ye Fei's eyes lit up.
"Let Wenka take you snorkeling." Chen Jiajun teased, "You haven't been to the sea much, how can you say that you know this island?"
"I'm going to prepare now!" She turned and ran to the equipment room, almost colliding with Qiu Meixin.
"Meixin, I am going to sea in the morning, and the store can't help." Ye Fei put his hands together, sorry.
"It's okay, I should go and see." Qiu Meixin smiled gently, "You are still on vacation."
Ye Fei's brisk footsteps turned into the back hall. Qiu Meixin put away the coffee cup on the tabletop and saw a smile pass over Chen Jiajun's lips. She smiled and said, "In a good mood?"
He narrowed his smile and didn't answer.
"I can see that you are good to her... The store never hires non-divers."
"I think of Jia Rong."
Qiu Meixin pursed her lips: "A Fei is a little bit like a child. With her, the atmosphere in the shop will be better. It would be nice if her vacation is longer."
"I'm very lucky to have a holiday." Chen Jiajun got up and heard the excitement of Ye Fei and Yanes talking behind him. Her voice was crisp and fast, and there was a stream of unrestrained laughter in the middle. He felt that he had described it correctly, twittering, like a little sparrow.
The practice site is a beach at the southern end of the island. This area is a protected area. There are no buildings. There are only towering limestone cliffs, dense oil-green plants, and white sand on the arc-shaped beach.
Not far from the shore is the coral area, and the sea surface is full of yellow and green colors. Wenka parked the boat directly above the Baisha Lagoon. Chen Jiajun sat on the bow with a serious expression: "Every action you do today must show the standard of demonstration."
Everyone put on their equipment, and even Jarnes stopped talking and laughing with Ye Fei, sitting on the ship's gunwale, rolling back into the water one by one. Seeing the crowd gathered on the surface of the water, Chen Jiajun turned his head and asked Wenka a few words, then put on the mask and fins, and took a big step from the bow of the ship, splashing white water.
Ye Fei lay on the side of the boat, watching everyone sinking slowly, then turned around and asked Wenka: "Where are we? Are we here?"
He shook his head: "Go to the shore, the boss said, start from a shallow place."
Wenka parked the boat on the shore and explained to Ye Fei how to use the mask and fins to balance the ear pressure correctly. Ye Fei tried it. She was good at swimming. When she was learning to swim, she could touch the bottom of a four-meter-deep pool with her bare hands. Now she has fins, so she can dive under the water while balancing her ear pressure. Baisha swims a distance.
The water was as clear as if it had disappeared, except that it cast fine ripples on the white sand. Ye Fei put on the mask, and just submerged his head in the water, he saw a group of forearm-long white fish swimming with them, their eyes black and big. There is also a silver-gray fish not far away, clinging to the surface of the water, with a long and slender body and a mouth like a sharp tube.
Wenka took her for a swim in the shallow waters. Among the clumps of brightly colored corals, tropical fishes of different shapes are swimming around, blue and black angel fish, bright yellow butterfly fish, big-eyed squirting red squirrel fish, and many Ye Fei seem familiar on the map. , And can't tell the exact name. Wenka pointed out to her again that there was a snake-like moray hidden in the crevice between the rock and the coral, with only one head exposed, with a fierce look and an open mouth waiting for the rabbit. On the sand under the coral, the yellow-backed and blue-spotted rays flap their wings, trying to hide themselves in the sand.
Ye Fei was very playful and shuttled up and down on the water. The sea water is clear and warm, and people almost ignore its existence in it, and only feel endless comfort and ease, as if melted in the rippling clear waves.
After swimming for an unknown period of time, she lay on the side of the boat to take a break, Wenka turned over and returned to the boat: "It's almost over, we will pick them up."
Ye Fei said strangely: "Do you know where they are?"
Wenka pointed to the sea: "There are bubbles."
Ye Fei looked over, and sure enough, the sea not far away turned gently. She was curious in her heart, put her arms together, swung her legs and swam over, came to the neighborhood, held a sigh of relief, and plunged down diagonally. Seeing the trainees forming a semicircle, half kneeling on the sand, demonstrating the steps of the water in sequence, a person stood in the center, holding his shoulders, and floating steadily in the water. He is wearing a headgear, and his black-framed diving goggles cover his eyes. Ye Fei didn't dare to bother everyone, so he drew his arms, straightened his back, and stopped two or three meters above them. But he still noticed it, raised his head slightly, his eyes swept over, his eyes flashing like electricity.
Ye Fei was startled, afraid that it would hinder everyone from practicing, and the breath in his chest couldn't be held back, so he rushed to the surface of the water and almost choked on a mouthful of water.
Everyone returned to the boat. Chen Jiajun took off half of his wetsuit and sat on the bow with water dripping from his hair. Ye Fei put the bath towel on his shoulders and sat side by side with Wenka in the stern, his heart pounding.
Jaynes sat cross-legged in front of her and said with a smile: "I saw you just now."
"Wenka took me to practice snorkeling."
"Do you still need to practice? You swim very well, the movements are beautiful!" He praised sincerely, "You know the theory again, you will be able to learn it soon. Wait for me to get the coaching certificate!"
Ye Fei nodded, nor refused. He could only smile: "Go hard and wish you good luck."
Wenka started the motor, the speedboat chopped the waves, and the wind rushed towards her face. Ye Fei wrapped her bath towel tightly, still feeling a bit cold on the top of her head. She curled her neck and shivered. Chen Jiajun leaned slightly on his side, without looking at her, stretched out his hands, covered his ears, and put down his hands again. Just like when he was doing a demonstration underwater, his movements were methodical and he stretched vigorously.
Ye Fei knows that, as he covers his ears, she feels that the whole person is warmed up. Chen Jiajun said nothing, his expression softened, and he turned around again.
The green hills on the right bank stand, and the verdant rainforest casts the tinny green on the water. Ye Fei sat in the stern of the boat, tilted his head slightly, only to feel that a smile spread on his face uncontrollably. She turned around and looked at the white waves splashing behind the boat, and she understood in her heart what this throbbing thought meant. She comforted herself that in a paradise away from the hustle and bustle, when she met such a person, her heart swaying was just a normal reaction. She has to control it, this is just a vacation. After that, each has its own trajectory. How many intersections can there be in a lifetime
Back in the store, Qiu Meixin had ordered a meal for everyone. The rectangular metal plate contained curry chicken, fried vegetables, spicy seafood, fried noodles and rice. After lunch, Wan Peng was going to return the tableware. Ye Fei helped to pack the knives and forks. She said to Wenka: "Thank you in the morning. What kind of drink would you like to drink? I invite you!"
Wenka thanked: "Don't use it, take a rest and go out to sea, are you still going?"
Ye Fei waved his hand: "I want to go around the island and make up some photos." She turned her head and asked Chen Jiajun, "Is the motorcycle still in the Monkey Bar? Can you rent it to me?"
He was expressionless: "Can't rent it to you."
Ye Fei curled his lips.
Standing by the terrace, Chen Jiajun said to Wanpeng, "Speak to Songxi, and loan her from the motorcycle store." He looked down at Ye Fei, "Look at the key, if you lose it again..."
Wan Peng was holding a stack of dinner plates and smiled with joy: "That's okay, Faey doesn't have to go."
"I won't be so stupid!" Ye Fei pretended to be angry and waved his fist at Wanpeng. In fact, she really wanted to see what kind of expression Chen Jiajun would show and what kind of reply she had, but she felt that no matter how he behaved, she didn't think about how to deal with it, so she shoved Wanpeng, "Let's go, Inda is still waiting. What about you."
The white sand at noon was a little hot, and the two of them walked on the beach soaked by the waves, close to the water. Wan Peng asked Ye Fei how she felt about going out to sea in the morning, and she answered absently, thinking in her mind that he reminded herself not to lose the key. Was it intentional or unintentional? With twists and turns in his mind, he accidentally stepped on a piece of broken coral, and the soles of his feet licked. Ye Fei frowned. No matter whether they are intentional or unintentional, you think so much, it is clearly intentional. But what is the use of this thought? The first one is passively beaten. Even if the other party responds, is it possible to maintain the passion gained during the journey? Even with the emotional foundation, Xu Pengcheng's impression of the past is still deep, and she can't just go out of the tiger's mouth and enter the wolf's den again.
After returning the tableware at Joy's, Wanpeng was reluctant to leave and had to talk to Inda. He called Songxi and Ye Fei turned back to Monkey Bar alone.
"I'll give you the key." Song Xi came out from behind the bar, hooking the key ring with her left index finger, "The motorcycle is still parked in the same place."
He was depressed, with his right hand hanging weakly to his side, and his posture was unnatural.
Ye Fei took the key and looked up and down: "What's wrong? Half of his body is stiff."
"I drank too much alcohol yesterday, got dizzy in the morning, and tripped downstairs..." He looked sad, "It's okay, I'll go to Wenka in a while. He is good at repairing joints."
"You said Uncle Wenka will repair the ship, I still believe it." Ye Fei leaned forward and poked his finger, "Can you still move? It's been dragged to the present, why don't you hurry to the hospital?"
"I'm really fine... so embarrassing..."
"Is it shameful now? Go, you must go!" Ye Fei persuaded and pulled, dragged reluctant Songxi to the road, called a motorcycle with a bucket, and went straight to the town. clinic.
Song Xi said stiffly: "Really, Uncle Wenka pulls, pushes, and it's all right."
"You still go to see if the bones are broken, why do you have to fix it for a while." Ye Fei saw through his thoughts, "You are afraid that everyone will laugh at you and make yourself so miserable for Jasmine, right?"
Song Xi curled his lips: "For her? I didn't know how happy it was yesterday. There were several blonde beauties at the big party, so I drank too much."
Ye Fei learned from his expression: "Big party, many beautiful blonde women." She patted her chest, "Are you really happy? Show me the smile?"
Song Xi's mouth was uglier than crying. He lowered his head and pressed his forehead against Ye Fei's shoulder: "My arm hurts, and you hurt my heart."
Ye Fei patted his arm and pushed him up: "It's wine that makes your arm hurt; it's Jasmine that makes you feel bad. You two, why don't you want a solution?"
"How to solve it? She is with others! Should I beg her again? Whoever sees me is a joke!"
"Jasmine was with others so suddenly, is she really happy?" Ye Fei sighed, "You hurt her too many times..."
"I'm tired of it," Songxi said. "I'm tired of this kind of love game and this kind of island life. Maybe I should go home and grow rice with my mother and marry a girl from the village."
Ye Fei laughed out loudly: "You? Go back to the village to grow rice? Can you settle for that kind of life? You have to adjust your mind. Not everyone's island life is so indulgent. Look at Scar and Chloe, they are also locals. They are very good with foreigners."
"He was lucky to have met Chloe. She is a real islander, and she belongs here."
"What counts as an islander? How can you tell?" Ye Fei smiled, "What about me?"
"You?" Song Xi shook her head and laughed again, "Why do you ask, do you want to stay with me? I adjust Pina Colada for you every day, how about?"
"I'm still in the mood to make a joke with me! Be careful that you can't make a drink anymore." Ye Fei raised a fist, "When can you change this mouth, and whoever you meet to strike up a conversation with."
The clinic in the town is small, with only a row of bungalows. Fortunately, X-rays can be taken. Songxi's arm did not fracture, but the bones were misaligned and needed to be fixed for two weeks after reduction.
Zheng Yunchang hasn't returned to the island yet, and another brother who works part-time goes home to visit relatives. He will not be able to return until the next day. Back at Monkey Bar, Ye Fei called the shop and said that he would not have dinner with everyone at night, and would stay in the bar to help Songxi take care of the business.
Qiu Meixin answered the call. Not long after hanging up, she called back again: "Jia Jun said that the bar will be closed in advance today, so that Songxi will go back to rest earlier."
Songxi refused to leave, saying that there was nothing to do when he returned to the dormitory. He closed the wooden shutters, hung a shop closed sign on the door, turned on the TV, and watched a football game on the bar. Ye Fei ate a few biscuits, sat in the corner, and took out a book to conceive an article.
Seeing the intermission, Song Xi turned around and took a can of beer, then looked at Ye Fei: "Thank you for staying with me today and adjusting a bar for you. What do you want to drink?"
"No, I just drink lemonade." Ye Fei got up and took a lime from the fruit basket. "Where is the knife, I will cut it myself."
"I can do it with one hand, don't believe me!" Songxi insisted, took out the shaker, poured the tequila in, and took orange juice from the freezer.
"No need, I have to write a manuscript. I feel sleepy when I drink it..." Ye Fei wanted to stop Songxi. He opened the can with one hand, and his hand on the tab slipped, and the can rolled out sideways, bumping into the can. On the wine vessel. The tequila splashed down from the edge of the counter and splashed on Ye Fei's body, making a large area of the left side of his clothes wet.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Song Xi said no.
"It's okay, I really don't drink it." Ye Fei picked up the orange juice jar, took it to the faucet, and washed away the sand on it.
