"Not very kind..." Scar, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly inserted, "He is too kind."
Ye Fei thought, even out of courtesy, he should also thank the boss. Back in the store, the group of students who set out to practice in the shallow water area in the afternoon just returned. Paul also went to the review course and returned to the store with excitement: "It hasn’t been in the sea for many years. It’s still so charming, but I’ve already I'm an old man. I really missed such a long good time."
Ye Fei asked Chloe quietly: "Do you know his age?"
"I've seen his form. I'm not sure, maybe seventy-two, maybe seventy-four."
"I really admire, at such an age, I can still do what I want to do."
Chloe laughed: "Diving in the calm sea is very easy. When you come next time, you can try it."
Paul also encouraged her: "Come with us tomorrow. They will take me to a very simple dive site to get used to. You won't lose to me, will you?"
"I have never learned to dive, and my ears are inflamed, and I can't get water recently." Ye Fei waved his hand repeatedly, "Also, the tuition is not cheap, I am really penniless."
"If you want to learn, you can work in the dive shop for a while in exchange for tuition. I know a lot of people do this." Paul laughed, "It's always better to have beautiful employees in the shop to solicit business."
"I think this is a good idea." Chloe took Ye Fei's shoulders, "Yes, we need beautiful and friendly employees."
"I'm the boss!" Chen Jiajun frowned and glanced at them. "Have you asked for my opinion?"
"You are in the store most of the day, boss, you are so cool, can you smile more?"
Chen Jiajun curled his lips, half disdainful, half aggrieved, and muttered: "Because I'm pretty enough."
Everyone laughed.
Paul tore a piece of paper and wrote his e-mail address to Ye Fei: "Every day I see you working and reading very seriously. I believe you will become a great diver in the future. If by then , You still remember my old friend, willing to share with me the knowledge from all over the world, remember to write to me."
People come and go in the dive shop, Chen Jiajun is always busy, the customer is gone, and colleagues from the nearby dive shop come in, borrow a few diving textbooks, and chat for a while; friends are gone, and some employees go over to discuss their recent encounters. To the question. Ye Fei couldn't find a chance to thank him, and when the sun went down and her stomach was hungry, according to Jasmine's recommendation, she ran to the roadside stall to eat a bowl of rice noodles. The soup is delicious, the boss actually took out two chicken feet from the pot, looked at Ye Fei with inquiring eyes, and asked: "OK?"
She nodded repeatedly and said: "OK, OK." She ate round her belly, and paid for the meal with the only local currency left in her hand and exchanged for two coins.
When we returned to the dive shop, everyone had already dispersed. Wenka was also about to leave, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked in local language: "Have you eaten?"
These are the few words that Ye Fei has mastered, and he replied: "Eat." Guozhen people regard food as the sky, and they can apply everywhere. She looked at the silent shop and asked, "My textbooks are still in it, haven't they closed?"
Wenka pointed to the inner room: "Oh, no. The boss is still there."
Ye Fei took off his shoes under the steps and walked in barefoot. Her footsteps were very light, and the people in the room were staring at the computer screen intently. An old song came from the speakers. It sounded like a genre from the 1980s. It had just faded out and was played again. The lyrics are not complicated, a few words can be heard vaguely:
Oh when I look back now, the summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice, yeah I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
…
Oh and when you held my hand, I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Now when I look back, the summer is long and long, if I can do whatever I want, I would like to stay there forever, the most wonderful time in my life
You and I hold each other, but I sigh that the loss will never come again, the most wonderful time in my life
The rhythm of the song is bright, but the lyrics bring out three points of melancholy. Ye Fei stood outside, not knowing whether he should remind Chen Jiajun of his existence. After a few minutes, hearing the sound of the chair moving, he walked out frowning, holding the cup of instant noodles in one hand and a beer can in the other. "Done?" he asked coldly.
"Well, for the last change, I bought a bowl of rice noodles with chicken feet." Ye Fei replied, "Why do you eat this?"
"The island just eats so much. I'm tired of eating for a few years. Change the taste." Chen Jiajun throws away the trash. "You can continue reading after you finish eating."
"Probably I've finished reading it."
Chen Jiajun is dissatisfied: "After reading it, I have read it, and if I haven't finished it, I haven't read it. What does it mean
"Just after reading it, there are still some things I don't understand."
"Okay, I'll test you." He casually asked a few questions, such as the changes in water pressure, the differences in hearing and vision compared with land, the names of various parts of equipment, and the handling of simple situations during diving. Ye Fei answered one by one, except for some details, but the answers were generally correct.
"You didn't read it carefully enough. If you have time to read it twice." Chen Jiajun explained a few things she didn't understand, and commented, "However, even so, it is considered fast."
"That's..." Ye Fei snorted, "I stayed up late yesterday and saw two o'clock."
"Who told you to study in the middle of the night, wouldn't it bother your roommate?"
"No... I'm sitting on the terrace." Ye Fei rolled his arms, "I was bitten a lot."
He whispered: "Just ask yourself. Is anyone forcing you?"
Ye Fei stared at him: "You scold me after reading it. If you can't finish it, you don't know what you will be scolded like."
Chen Jiajun smiled slightly: "Are you afraid of me?"
"A little bit." She nodded honestly.
"Well, that's right." He was satisfied with the answer, "so that you don't be disobedient."
"I'm very obedient, the shop has been cleaned up, and the teaching materials have been read. Now, can I pass?"
"where to?"
"Monkey Bar."
"Sit down!" Chen Jiajun pointed to the chair next to him, "I knew I was drinking."
Ye Fei sniffed, sniffed the smell of beer in the air, and curled his lips: "You still say me, I don't know who is an alcoholic..."
"Huh?" He frowned and looked back.
She plucked up the courage and said with a serious face: "Mr. Chen, I think you may have some misunderstandings about me. I have seen Jasmine today. She is a very good girl. I am not going to pester Songxi, nor am I going to drink. , I just want to chat with everyone and talk. I am not the kind of frivolous person you imagined. The last two days I was in a bad mood and was drunk again, and behaved a little out of the ordinary..."
"What's that special?" Chen Jiajun smiled mockingly, "This kind of thing is common on the island."
"Ha, yeah, people come people go, this is your island life. But, I'm not here to have fun, I..." Ye Fei remembered his original intention of coming to the island, his eyes became hot and his vision blurred.
"I know, you are in a bad mood." Chen Jiajun sat down in front of her and said slowly, "Then tell me, after you have drunk, will you be happier the next day? Oh, happiness cannot be said, craniotomy Almost." He nodded his head, "Apart from the fact that this place seems to be exploded, what else do you gain?"
"I, I just hope..." Ye Fei turned his head, wiped his eyes severely, and his hands got wet. I only hope that for a moment, I can not remember the sweet past and be ruthlessly abandoned by the other party.
"It's emptiness that can kill people." He paused, "Busy is your healing medicine."
Ye Fei still had tears in his eyes, and smiled reluctantly: "So, I have to thank you, right?"
He remained expressionless: "You have to thank the thief who stole the motorcycle."
"No, I still have to thank you." She said sincerely, "Although she looks stingy and loves to say mean things, she always picks the bones in the egg..."
Chen Jiajun frowned: "You are so grateful to others?"
Ye Fei ignored it and continued: "But, I know, you actually gave me a hand. They were right, you are still quite nice."
He snorted and stood up: "It's useless to flatter, and it won't make you work less." He turned back to the inside, took out a stack of forms and a few folders, "I will finish all these today. Arrange in the order of Last name and put them in the corresponding clips. Also, after reading the textbook, what about the fish map? Or do you just drool when you pick it up?"
He patted the glass door: "Then remember to lock the door. If I see you in Monkey Bar, be careful of your ears."
Ye Fei was not anxious: "Why can you go? You can get half drunk and go to the beach to smoke?"
Chen Jiajun had already turned around and walked away. Hearing her questioning, his steps stagnated, his tone was cold, like a stranger.
He said: "None of your business."
