Views:

The moon hung in the white sky. Some European and American residents who got up early wore running shoes and went to the beach for a run. When they saw Ye Fei, they nodded politely. She and the other party didn't know each other, so they were relieved, smiled and nodded, and walked around a row of wooden houses. The lawn of the resort was in front of them, facing Qiu Meixin who was practicing in the morning.

Ye Fei remembered Qiu Meixin and said that she would get up early to do yoga every day. I can't help but think to myself: But Lin Daming is here, do you still stick to your routine, don't you need to accompany him more? She groaned in her heart, but couldn't avoid it, so she walked over, smiled awkwardly, and said early.

Qiu Meixin also said early, twitching the corners of her mouth, smiling stiffly.

"I, I drank too much yesterday..." Ye Fei stammered a little, "Now, let's go back first..."

Qiu Meixin looked at her back and couldn't help but shouted: "A Fei."

She was nervous and turned back: "Huh?"

"It's okay." Qiu Meixin smiled lightly, "You are really...very courageous."

"Drink too much, too much." Ye Fei was ashamed.

"You and Jia Jun are also very good."

"There's not a single word in the eight characters." Ye Fei suddenly said, "You and Daming are so good, so tacit understanding."

"Appropriate, I'm used to it." She said with a hint of emotion.

"I'm going back first." Ye Fei was anxious to leave, "Don't tell anyone, please, please."

"I know, go." Qiu Meixin smiled and asked smoothly, "Where's Jia Jun."

"I haven't woken up yet." Ye Fei blurted out, and then groaned inwardly. Doesn't this mean telling others that I slept with Chen Jiajun last night? Nothing happened, and there is such a gossip on the back, which is really a big loss.

Back to the dormitory, Inda hasn't woken up yet. Ye Fei did not dare to make a noise, and pulled the sheet over her body without washing. She has an unclear hangover, her head still aches, and her brain is not very bright. Lying on the bed, I remembered that Qiu Meixin said just now that she and Chen Jiajun matched each other. Who did that mean? Was he revealing something when he chatted with his friends? In addition, how could she reply "The eight characters have not been written yet"? Doesn't it mean that she has a plan in her heart, planning to write the character "eight"

She was embarrassed and nervous, her facial features were all wrinkled together. Tiredness and sleepiness hit with dizziness and headache. Ye Fei didn't know how long she lay in half-dream and half-awake, and heard the sound of Yinda rustling out of bed and getting dressed. She rubbed her eyes, pretending to have just woke up.

Inda lowered his voice: "Ah, you are awake, did I disturb you?"

"It's okay."

"You came back late yesterday, right?"

"Uh, it's late..." To be precise, it was actually very early today.

"Looking at you going out with everyone, I'm not worried, I guess where you went to drink."

Ye Fei nodded: "Yes, yes, I went to drink."

"Are they leaving today?"

"Ah!" Ye Fei suddenly remembered that Jaynes was on the boat at 8 o'clock in the morning, and she half sat up, "What time is it now?"

"seven thirty."

"God, we can't make it..." She sighed and fell down. It will take a while to drive from the dive shop. At this time, everyone is almost at the dock. Yesterday we said goodbye, so it shouldn't be considered ignorant. Ye Fei's mind was filled with paste, but if he couldn't figure it out, he fell asleep again in a drowsy state.

It was almost noon when Ye Fei got up again, the air was heated by the sun, and there were only fans in the dormitory, which made people feel sticky and sweaty. She got up, took a shower, brushed her teeth and washed her face, bought a piece of bread on the way to the dive shop, and ate it as she walked, expecting and hesitating in her heart. She is about to leave, she hates to stay by Chen Jiajun every second, but what do you want to say when you see him? The point is, what did she say and do last night? Would Chen Jiajun think that she was sprouting and frivolous? Why does he hold her affectionately in the morning? When she fell asleep, did he behave and honestly

I knew it, don't slip away in the morning... oh, but if you don't slip away and get up and hear him say, "I'm just to give you some comfort," what should I do? Finally felt that I was sober, thinking for a few minutes, it was a mess again.

Ye Fei walked to the dive shop, and the customers who had gone to sea in the morning had already returned. The clippers stopped by the trestle bridge, and Chen Jiajun squatted halfway at the end of the bridge, talking to Wenka and another boatman. He glanced back at the Qiandian, and happened to see Ye Fei who was standing in front of the door looking around. He glanced at her blankly, his face was covered with frost and he didn't smile.

Ye Fei has a guilty conscience, isn't he talking to others? I just stopped and looked at him twice, how could I get caught. How did she offend him? Just face a cold face.

Chen Jiajun and the boatmen checked the motor, got up, and walked towards the dive shop. Ye Fei left early, and now she seems to be in good spirits. It is estimated that she has gone back to catch up on sleep. He didn't expect that he would fall asleep so deeply, and only woke up when he heard the alarm. When his eyes were sleepy, he subconsciously retracted his arms, but found nothing. He was shocked and awoke completely, empty in front of him. Chen Jiajun frowned, looked at his watch, and had time to rush back to change clothes, drove Wang Jincai and the students to the dock, and walked out the door. It happened to see Wang Sir and Yanes and others carrying their luggage and walking to the restaurant to eat. Early.

Everyone was a little surprised. Jenny spoke quickly and asked, "Why do you live here?"

Chen Jiajun was blindfolded for a while: "Drank too much last night."

Everyone was puzzled and thought, even if you drink too much, you won't live far away, aren't you just behind the dive shop

"Everyone, go for breakfast first, and I'll drive you to the pier in a while." Chen Jiajun said, his brain kept spinning, one reason after another. He had to do two things, and he had to think about where to find the car key. With a flash of inspiration, he added, "I drank too much yesterday and couldn't find the door key, so I stayed in the hotel. I will look for it again."

Everyone had passed by him, and they turned their heads after hearing this belated answer, only to feel that Chen Jiajun's neural reflex arc was a bit long this morning, and his ability to be plain and decisive was different. Sure enough, drinking too much, alcohol is a mistake.

Driving the pickup and the cool breeze was blowing along the way, Chen Jiajun was angry and smiling, especially wanting to know what kind of expression Ye Fei had when he slipped away. Before going to bed, he thought about it in half asleep and half awake, the next morning, he must hold Ye Fei in his arms, and asked her if she remembered what she said during the night. Whether she is ashamed or shameless, as long as she wakes up, he will tell her his heart without reservation.

But she was fine, as if nothing happened, she left without making a sound, and slept without worry before coming over at noon.

With a calm face, he walked into the dive shop, and just about to pull Ye Fei over, he was entangled by a few excited customers. He said that when he was practicing in the sand, 20 or 30 cockatoo fish swam lazily. Each one is half a meter long. A coach said that the fish may be foraging at the northern end of the island in the afternoon. Everyone expressed their intention to find Big Fish.

Lin Daming smiled and said, "I want to see what they said, plus me and Meixin."

Chen Jiajun thought for a while: "There is nothing to do this afternoon, let's go together. But there is only one boat left, Wenka and the others want to repair the motor."

Ye Fei listened lively, leaned forward, raised his head and asked, "What about me?"

Lin Daming said: "Yes, even if she doesn't take classes, you can take her to experience the potential."

Chen Jiajun shook his head: "Forget it, not suitable for beginners."

Ye Fei looked regretful: "Do I have time to learn this time?"

"When are you leaving?" Chen Jiajun asked her.

"Airplane in the morning after the day after tomorrow." Thinking of leaving, her eyes darkened.

"Can't catch up." He looked down, "You don't want to learn."

Ye Fei's disappointment was written on his face.

Just listen to Chen Jiajun said lightly: "Next time."

Her eyes lit up again: "Next time? Really?"

Chen Jiajun sternly said: "Fake."

"what?"

He whispered softly: "What can I lie to you, I can still run?"

Ye Fei smiled: "You can run to the monk, but you can't run to the temple."

Just now, Chen Jiajun saw her eyes darkened and the corners of her mouth drooped, knowing that she was also reluctant to give up, and his heart was full of love and pity and intolerance, so he had long put aside the thought of pulling her over and blaming her. "Wearing a swimsuit?" he asked.

"Ok."

"Bring the mirror fins and go out to sea with everyone. There is a shoal over there, where you can watch fish."

One employee was left on duty in the shop, and the others assembled diving equipment and prepared to go to sea. Chen Jiajun sorted out the spare equipment and first aid kit, and Ye Fei came over and asked, "Where is your equipment?"

He took off his diving bag, put it on Ye Fei's shoulder, and handed her a pair of long webs and a mask, with a smile on his eyebrows: "I will sail."

Chen Jiajun motioned to Ye Fei to sit on the relatively stable stern of the boat and start the motor. After more than 20 minutes, he drove to the vicinity of the predetermined dive site. This is an uninhabited island. Only a few rugged rocks more than ten meters high are exposed out of the water. There is a small white sandy beach in the middle. The sandy beach extends to the water and is surrounded by colorful coral reefs. Wang Qing's transparent swimming pool. The submersible boat stopped on the side of the deep water tens of meters away from the small island. After everyone turned over into the water, Chen Jiajun drove the boat back to the beach and tied the cable and the fixed buoy together. He turned around and asked Ye Fei: "Ready?"

She was still wearing a T-shirt and short skirt, sitting upright on the bow. There were a lot of people on the road just now, and Chen Jiajun focused on sailing. She sat next to him and secretly looked at his serious expression, and her heart was extremely happy. At this moment, there are two people left, and they have to take off their clothes one by one in front of him. Although this is the case for swimming in the sea, she never feels embarrassed in front of everyone, but at this moment, she always feels uninteresting. He just stared at her that way, without evading his eyes.

Ye Fei was heartbroken, took off his coat, and took out the sunscreen from the waterproof bag: "Help me wipe my back, I can't reach it."

"No need to wipe it, it's not environmentally friendly." He threw a black long-sleeved sunscreen suit, "wear mine."

"how about you?"

"Just a moment, it's okay." He replied, "Unlike you, you haven't gotten a lot of tan for so many days."

"It's getting darker already!" Ye Fei protested, "You can't see it." As long as the part blocked by the bikini is the original skin color. As soon as the words were spoken, she couldn't help being at ease, facing Chen Jiajun, she always spoke without a word. Or subconsciously, she doesn't mind, telling him like this.

Chen Jiajun smiled and said nothing. He took off his T-shirt, put on only a pair of beach pants, a mask, and long fins before jumping into the water. Ye Fei put on his sun protection suit, because it is a stretch shirt, it will not look very fat, but the sleeves and hem are a bit long. She swam towards Chen Jiajun, and he was not far away. The wide beach pants were flicking comfortably, his slender legs hung down, and the long fins were already worn and placed gracefully, like an extension of his legs. It seems that the body is more elongated.

"I've seen you swim very well, just fine-tune it." Chen Jiajun demonstrated the essentials of the action, and explained how to adjust the breathing and increase the duration of apnea. "If you have practiced free diving, you will be able to get in the water with a gas cylinder on your back. "He sank his shoulders, turned down, plunged straight to the bottom, and swung his feet to the sandy ground five or six meters deep. Then the feet are brought together, the body is swaying like a dolphin, the waist and abdomen are tightened, and the beach pants are wrapped around the body. From the back, it shows a tight and smooth curve.

Sunlight casts straight and thin lines into the boundless gray-blue. He swam for a while, swinging his feet from side to side, bathing in a bright light, rising from the depths, breaking through the water, and appearing in front of Ye Fei.

She was breathing sluggishly, shaking her fins, and swiping her arms indiscriminately twice, looking very awkward. Chen Jiajun laughed "Oh", leaned back and shook lightly, pulling away from Ye Fei. His forearm was immersed in the water, he hooked his fingers to her, and his head and neck leaned back, like a flying fish leaping and sinking on the surface of the water, his body drew a beautiful arc, clean and neat, and plunged into the water. Ye Fei took a deep breath, held her breath, and dived behind him.

Chen Jiajun adapts to Ye Fei's rhythm, will not dive too deep for too long, and will soon float to the surface for breathing. His posture is stretched, and he is casual like flowing clouds and flowing water, and he has the strength of holding and not sending in his agility. As the terrain changes, he sometimes leads the way in front, sometimes swims beside Ye Fei, and sometimes drills under her. For the first time, Ye Fei was uneasy and couldn't see any fish in his eyes. After swimming for a while, his body became more and more comfortable, his mood calmed down, and his vision seemed to have widened.

Surrounded by warm and clear water, it is so clean that it is almost impossible to notice its existence. Where the water is shallow, the red light has not been completely absorbed by the sea, and the surroundings are more beautiful. The clumps of coral are colorful, staggered high and low, walking through it, like walking in a magnificent garden. A group of palm-sized silver larvae flicked past, shining in the water; finger-sized goby fish in the white sand guarded the cave entrance vigilantly, and their symbiotic shrimps were busy carrying the gravel in the cave; the grouper probably knew I am delicious, always hiding near the reef, looking cautious; the big-headed spiny fish is much more lazy, the pectoral fins are like two small fans, and the big round eyes are open, like a puppy.

Not far away, a gray streamlined figure swam past, Chen Jiajun placed the palm of his right hand in front of his forehead, and pointed his left finger in the direction of the gray shadow. Ye Fei knows that this gesture represents a shark, and she has been fascinated by it in the dive shop for days. She has not been afraid of this legendary fierceness. On the contrary, she is very curious and vigorously swings her fins.

Chen Jiajun caught her ankle and pulled her back by the calf. The two stood upright and returned to the water together. "Don't chase, you can't catch up. Sharks are very sensitive, but will swim farther."

"Then what to do?"

"Wait for it to swim back."

Ye Fei shook his fins, exposed his head on the water and adjusted his breathing. Only then did he realize that his face was close at hand, he was wearing a pair of diving goggles with a black frame, the bridge of his nose was straight, and his eyes were quiet and deep. The surroundings were silent, she thought of the drunk night, she was suddenly a little shy, and she swam a little away, pretending to be paddling the water easily, and pretending to ask casually: "Yesterday, I drank a little bit, didn't you trouble you?"

He chuckled softly: "What do you think?"

"I drank a little bit... If you say anything nonsense, don't mind."

How could he not care? Just know she can't remember. "Have you forgotten?" He half-squinted his eyes.

"Uh..." Ye Fei was speechless. In her messy memory, there were some unspoken words. When asked by Chen Jiajun, she was not sure whether she had controlled her mouth yesterday.

"Want me to remind you? Now?" His mouth curled up, and he swam to Ye Fei on his side, pressing his face over, smiling a little wickedly.

"No need!" Ye Fei suddenly became nervous and refused decisively. He raised his palm and pushed it against the surface of the water, splashing Chen Jiajun's face with water. She took a deep breath, dived underwater, and swam towards the edge of the white sand.

Chen Jiajun snorted disdainfully, bowed into the water, swayed a wave, and caught up with Ye Fei in two seconds. He grasped her slender calf, and the arm turned, Ye Fei's body turned sideways. He stretched his arm again, put his palm on her side waist, and pulled her back in front of him.

Wherever Ye Fei's eyes go, it is his firm, wheat-colored skin, which looks particularly moist in the water, with slightly convex collarbone, broad shoulders, and looks so tough that it makes people want to poke with a finger. chest. She couldn't breathe, the air in her chest didn't know where it went, and she rushed to the surface of the water hurriedly, gasping for breath.

Chen Jiajun originally followed her, swimming unhurriedly, feeling funny in his heart, and wanted to tease her again. Suddenly he saw something, suddenly jumped out of the water, and took Ye Fei's hand: "Come on."

Ye Fei's heart tightened. What can I say clearly on the water in advance, okay

Chen Jiajun's movements didn't stop for a moment, pulling Ye Fei to swim quickly to the deep water area, the long webs swaying quickly in the water, arousing fine white foam. Ye Fei was about to lose her breath. The two of them had already swam to the edge of the white sandy land. A large slope appeared on the bottom of the sea, and the deep blue water was in front of them. She looked at Chen Jiajun, feeling surprised. He pushed her shoulders and turned her around. Ye Fei was puzzled, and looked back at him. Chen Jiajun spread his fingers, pressed it on the top of her head, twisted it at an angle, and stretched out his other hand in front of her, pointing firmly to the front.
