The night was troublesome, and Ye Fei woke up and went to sleep. Every time he woke up in the mist, he was in a nostalgic embrace. She pillowed his arm, her back was against his chest, and Chen Jiajun's other arm was in front of her, hugging her tightly. This moment was as beautiful as the previous dreams, Ye Fei put his palm on the back of his hand, and the real and warm touch made her feel at ease. I do not know that I wandered a few times on the edge of dreaming and waking up. It was only in the early morning that I became sleepy. When I opened my eyes again, bright sunlight came in through the curtains, and the side was empty.

Knowing that she was in California, her heart still tight, she put on a shirt and walked down the stairs barefoot. The refreshing smell of coffee wafted from the kitchen, bread was toasted in the toaster, and Chen Jiajun was standing in front of the electric stove frying eggs. He put on a pair of loose jeans, topless, and his muscles were tight and clear. Ye Fei walked over to wrap around his waist, pressed his cheeks behind his back, and asked, "Do you usually wear this way?"

He shook his head: "No, you can wear less by yourself."

"Where's your sarong? I really like the way you wear a sarong. It's very special."

"Is not it good?"

"Alright, that's..." Ye Fei smiled, "I always feel bad motivation."

"Before you come to see me, you will dress up specially, choose two clothes, it looks more attractive."

"Ah..." She was shy, but didn't deny it either. "Of course."

He cocked his mouth: "Me too."

Ye Fei sighed softly: "I really want to be with you all the time, and I will be together every day from now on."

Chen Jiajun put the fried eggs on the plate, turned off the electric stove, and put his arms around her: "Are you proposing to me?"

Ye Fei pouted: "Is this something I should do? I didn't say I want to give you a place."

He didn't insist: "Then I don't want it..."

Ye Fei opened his mouth and bit on his neck, he smiled and hugged her tighter.

"How is Bo Mai?" she asked.

"I'm in elementary school, and I wrote a letter. The drawing is good, better than you..." Chen Jiajun said, her side was twisted a bit, "Miss her? Go see her next time."

"Yeah." Ye Fei nodded, "Actually, I think you like children very much. When I was separated, I kept thinking that I should have a child with you, a child who looks like you. I really want to see You look like a father."

Chen Jiajun was moved in his heart, and kissed Ye Fei softly, and said softly: "Okay, but don't want it for two years."

She wondered: "Why?"

"There are so many places, I want to go with you. Moreover, you are still so young."

Ye Fei smiled: "What about you?"

He raised his eyebrows: "Am I young? It doesn't matter if you wait two more years."

Ye Fei giggled and got into his arms and heard his low and gentle voice: "This time I go to China, can I accompany you home? I want to visit your parents."

After staying for a few days near Huntington Beach, Chen Jiajun and Ye Fei drove to San Diego. The journey is not far, and the two set off as they approached the evening and headed south along the coastline. The vast Pacific Ocean is right beside him, vast and boundless, plated with a dazzling bright gold in the setting sun. They live in a seaside apartment near La Jolla. The restaurant is connected to the terrace. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the waves rushing to the deep brown reef, stirring up white and fine waves.

During the few days when Ye Fei participated in the forum, Chen Jiajun visited nearby divers and friends, negotiated the time with everyone, and rented two sets of diving equipment.

"This is what you said, one thing that needs to be done?" Ye Fei asked.

Chen Jiajun nodded: "I am very happy, the first time I resume diving, you can stay with me."

"I am also very happy, but is there any risk?"

"I consulted the doctor and observed it for a long enough time. Today, I will go to a shallower place first." He laughed, "It just happens to be a novice."

"Do you look down on me? I'm also AOW (Advanced Open Water Diver), I can go 30 meters!" Ye Fei straightened his chest, "Sir Wang said, I am very talented."

Chen Jiajun smiled: "Speaking of which, who is your coach? Sir Wang only said he was his student, do I know him?"

"That... I knew..." Ye Fei was stunned for a moment, knowing that he couldn't hide it, "You saw it once."

He frowned slightly: "I have seen it once?"

"It's... That girl from China, Ruoyu."

Chen Jiajun frowned: "That Ruoyu who can't swim and almost drowned with you?"

Ye Fei nodded: "Later, she knew how to swim, and she was able to swim very quickly. After that, she learned to dive, and she really liked it. She has also learned about divemaster and instructor. Now she quit her job to work in the Philippines.

"How much experience do you have?" He snorted, "At most one year, from zero to hero, you can rest assured? Sir Wang is too relieved..."

"We chatted, we knew you would react this way." Ye Fei smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a good foundation, and I enjoy super treatment. I am Ruoyu's first student after graduation; teaching; Sir Wang has been watching the whole process. He said,'I dare not let you bump into it, KC will fly over and fight me desperately.'"

Chen Jiajun helped Ye Fei put on a diving suit, and said calmly, "Isn't it let Ruoyu practice your hands?"

Ye Fei stuck out his tongue.

He added: "I regret not teaching you at the time. I knew she was teaching you, so I might as well sign your qualification certificate."

Ye Fei smiled, dangling and gently bumping him: "This diving suit is so thick. Seeing me covering it like a ball, I can't move it anymore."

"The water is cold, today the water temperature is 61 degrees Fahrenheit, which is equivalent to 16 degrees Celsius."

Ye Fei was speechless.

"So I borrowed you a semi-dry (semi-dry diving suit)." Chen Jiajun smiled lightly, "It's okay, I'll be with you. I'll be back when it's cold."

Ye Fei raised his head and asked, "Then, can you hold your hand?"

"of course can."

"Doesn't violate your coaching rules?"

He smiled and lowered his head and kissed her lips: "Ruoyu is your coach, I am your buddy (diving buddy)."

Even though he was fully armed, Ye Fei was already cold enough after staying for twenty to thirty minutes under the water of more than ten degrees. But this dive did not disappoint her. The two little seals stared at her with round black eyes and swam to her, curiously tilted their heads and looked at the two of them. Not far away, you can see the big seal and human The parents are the same. Ye Fei was very playful, tightly holding Chen Jiajun's hand, and looking at him, he seemed to be more excited than himself, with a smile in his eyes, and grunting out a bunch of bubbles.

Ye Fei was very emotional. He finally returned to the blue sea, this is his territory and territory, those low, depressed and uneasy, melted in the endless sea. Although after a long wait, he is still the same person he used to be, confident, optimistic, and calm, but he has become stronger and calmer. She ignored the bloated wetsuit, opened her arms awkwardly and slowly, and hugged Chen Jiajun tightly.

Under the warm noon sun, the two went to the Old Town of San Diego for a Mexican meal, and in the afternoon went to the Natural History Museum of Barboa Park to participate in the premiere of a marine documentary. Professor Hope is one of the academic advisers of this film, and he met with several colleagues and students, and sat in the back row of Ye Fei and Chen Jiajun.

Ye Fei thanked Professor Hope: "Thank you for inviting everyone to the premiere. I am looking forward to it."

Professor Hope looked at Chen Jiajun with a little surprise: "Your boyfriend didn't tell you, did he also participate in the production?"

Ye Fei was surprised: "Really?"

Chen Jiajun smiled faintly: "I met some friends who make movies while surfing. I was interested, and I had time, so I went to watch the post-production."

"I haven't heard you say it before."

"There is no real work, I am still learning, this time I also helped to do some very simple assistant work."

Ye Fei smiled: "It's rare for you to be humble once."

Professor Hope said: "Daniel is very thoughtful and smart. I believe that if given the opportunity, he will do very well."

The movie is about to start. Ye Fei leaned on Chen Jiajun’s shoulder and whispered: "I also think you are very suitable for doing this. I still remember that you showed me the photos and videos you took before. At that time, I wanted to run a hidden shop. By comparison, those are the things you really like."

"I'm also thinking about what I should do in the future." He slowly said, "I have been in contact with my eldest brother more in the past two years. I don't think I should be in a deadlock with my family all the time. My eldest brother has a media business in his group company. , With communication resources, the company has reached a certain stage of development, and is willing to do things that are conducive to its image. Maybe we can do something for the local area together.

"You can shoot some promotional videos and carry out some charity projects." Ye Fei became excited. "When you are fully recovered, you can also become a course director. You have students on every island, so you can do everything you want to do better. Connections."

"In addition to these, I have to think about where to make my home." Chen Jiajun held her shoulders with a smile in his voice, "I can't teach and inspect outside for a year and twelve months, and I have to have time to spend time with me. Only girlfriends can."

"What we all like can be done together."

"Don't you mean that you want to have your own independent space?"

"But, I think I'm quite independent." Ye Fei slung his arms and smiled. "Now I and you are like-minded, and they just happen to do the same thing together. No matter where I go in the future, what problems I encounter. , We can work together to find a solution. We will open up roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water.

He exhaled in relief: "I believe it. My little girlfriend has grown up."

Ye Fei still had a lot of ideas about the future, flashing through his mind like a burst of fireworks, and couldn't help but want to tell him all of them. Chen Jiajun kissed her sideburns: "Hush, it's starting."

In the melodious and quaint soundtrack, a huge whale shark cruised past the screen. In the vast grey-blue sea, the sky reflected its dark blue back with dots of light. The narrator explained that in some parts of Southeast Asia, the inhabitants of the islands call it a starfish. The fishermen were in awe of these coveted behemoths. They rowed small boats and slapped the side of the boat with wood pulp in order to drive the whale shark away.

Chen Jiajun patted Ye Fei's hand and nodded himself, indicating that this paragraph was the line he had added. Ye Fei smiled and leaned on his shoulder.

The documentary truly presents the status quo of the whale shark, especially the various man-made crises and predicaments it encounters during its migration. There is no lack of misfortune as a protected species that has been slaughtered and sold in various places.

At the end of the film, the camera is from bottom to top, and the center of the faint blue water is a bright spot. The silhouette of the whale shark is shrouded in the halo, as far and quiet as a dream. The narration sounded: "We still don't know much about these elegant and beautiful creatures, and we can't predict their whereabouts with complete accuracy. They are cruising among the secret realms in the sea, where is their kingdom."

The music sounded slowly.

"We must have hope in our hearts and guard this belief, and it will always exist. One day, perhaps, it will appear in front of you."

The audience's warm applause rang out for a long time.

Stepping out of the theater, the Southern California sun is warm and dazzling, and the blue sky is clear. The breeze blew through the streets of the Gbagboa Park, and between the elegant beige Spanish buildings, the tall palm trees and the luxuriant flowers and trees on the street swayed in the wind.

Ye Fei still couldn't calm down, she held Chen Jiajun's hand, her vision blurred. He smiled and wiped away the tears from her eyelashes, kissed her lips, and whispered in her ear: "Would you marry me?"

The water in the fountain behind him was gurgling, and Ye Fei was taken aback, thinking that he hadn't heard clearly.

Chen Jiajun rarely showed a hint of shyness like a big boy: "It takes courage to speak out in front of so many people, so you have to confirm before you formally ask if you will refuse." He took out the velvet from his arms. Little box, "But, I don't think you can. So, can I get down on one knee?"

Ye Fei couldn't help but screamed and hugged Chen Jiajun tightly, as if holding the whole world in his arms.

Love is like a whale shark in the sea.

One day, she will be with him and meet it again.
