The Venice Breakwater was built in 1905. It is the only place on the beach where waves crash against both sides. The sand here is fine and white, making it the best choice for building sand sculptures (Author: Hmm? Why do I feel like something is wrong...). The place where Luo Shaohui was washed ashore by the waves that year was not far north of this artificial pier.

Luo Shaohui stood on a wooden pier that extended more than 200 meters into the sea and looked around. The orange-red morning sun slowly rose from the sea, and the red-gold light flickered and jumped along with the waves, as if fairy dust had fallen to the mortal world.

Luo Shaohui took a deep breath of the air mixed with the smell of sea water, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart. He had lived, eaten, and slept here for more than 4,700 days and nights, but he had never really appreciated this beach. It turned out to be so beautiful.

Luo Wenyuan and Qingshan also stood hugging each other, leaning against the wooden railings of the pier, enjoying the rare warm moment.

Luo Shaohui and his friends arrived early, but there were still many tourists on the beach who had woken up early to watch the sunrise, as well as a group of beautiful women doing beach yoga and "bodybuilders" jogging in the morning. Suddenly, exclamations came from the crowd, and the tourists pointed at the sea and cheered loudly.

"dolphin--!"

"Look, there—!"

“Oh my god, it’s so beautiful—!”

Luo Wenyuan and the other two were standing on a pier elevated above the beach, extending further out to sea, offering a clearer view. They saw several bottlenose dolphins leaping from the surface not far from shore. Their streamlined, iron-gray bodies leaped two or three meters out of the water, tumbling before returning to the surface with a large splash. They were likely a pod of dolphins, with three or four of them leaping simultaneously at a time, emitting high-pitched cries as they leaped.

After being injured, Luo Shaohui happened to meet a group of bottlenose dolphins. Without their protection, even if Luo Shaohui did not starve to death, he would have been bitten to death and eaten by the ferocious fish in the sea. It can be said that dolphins are Luo Shaohui's lifesavers. Therefore, when he saw dolphins jumping out of the water, Luo Shaohui was very happy and watched with a grin.

But as he watched, the expression on Luo Shaohui's face became solemn. The calls of these dolphins were rapid and high-pitched. They did not sound like cheers in an excited state, but more like shouts of panic, and even had a hint of a cry for help.

Luo Wenyuan had excellent eyesight and noticed something unusual. He pointed to where the dolphin had jumped and said, "There's a shark! It looks pretty big!"

A signature triangular dorsal fin appears and disappears on the sea surface. Judging from the size and color of the dorsal fin, it should be an adult great white shark, at least five meters long.

"What?"

Luo Shaohui was startled. Sharks often appeared in the waters around here, even attacking surfers. No wonder the dolphins reacted so strangely; it turned out they had encountered a shark. However, a group of dolphins fighting a single shark would be a fairly even match, so why were they making such panicked cries? Could there be something else going on?

Luo Shaohui didn't know where he got the courage from, but he actually climbed over the pier railing, jumped into the sea, and swam towards the place where the dolphins and sharks encountered each other. Fortunately, there was no one else on the breakwater except the three of them so early in the morning, otherwise it would have caused a sensation.

Luo Wenyuan hadn't expected his uncle to actually jump into the sea from the breakwater. He was also stunned, then stamped his feet and cursed: "This idiot, doesn't he know there is a speedboat? When can he swim over!"

After saying that, Luo Wenyuan took Qingshan's hand and ran down the dock, rented a motorboat on the shore, and took Qingshan to the scene of the incident.

Luo Wenyuan didn't know that while they were running down the breakwater to rent a boat, Luo Shaohui had already swam a long way away, and his speed was no slower than that of a motorboat.
