Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou were both surprised by John's swift action.
"John, thank you. Have our permits for going to sea been processed?"
“Oh, of course. The paperwork and boat rental were done together, so I got them done at the same time. That way I can save ten dollars.”
"In your Chinese language, this is called the best of both worlds."
Wow, so you know how to have the best of both worlds!
Fu Wan was surprised. It seemed that John's Chinese was quite good. It was only at this moment that she realized that he had been speaking Chinese with her the whole time.
"How was my idiom explanation? Not bad, right?"
"Yes, that's great."
Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou both gave a thumbs up, and John became even more smug upon seeing this.
Now that the documents and the boat were ready, Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou packed their things and went downstairs with John.
To make it easier to go into the water later, Fu Wan put on her mermaid outfit in advance, and then put on a shirt jacket over it so that she wouldn't be noticed.
Fu Wan also brought the diving equipment that Mr. Jin had prepared, since going barefoot without a snorkel would probably attract attention.
Bai Qianzhou also wore a diving suit. Although he was on the ship keeping watch, he was also ready to go into the water to support Fu Wan at any time.
The three of them found a restaurant nearby for lunch. Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou flipped through the menu. The restaurant owner was very shrewd; the menu had pictures of the dishes on every page.
Fu Wan ordered a bowl of mashed potatoes and the restaurant's signature sushi, while Bai Qianzhou ordered a steak. John, who also loves meat, also ordered a steak.
However, the food at this restaurant wasn't as good as the steakhouse I went to yesterday.
Bai Qianzhou frowned after taking a bite. Fu Wan noticed the change in his expression and casually asked a question.
"What's wrong? Is it not tasty?"
"It's a bit salty."
Bai Qianzhou couldn't help but take a sip of water, and Fu Wan pushed her sushi over to him.
"Then try this."
This sushi was just rice mixed with a little vinegar, with cucumber and radish strips in the middle, and some fish meat inside. The taste wasn't particularly good, but it wasn't bad either.
Fu Wan ate a large bread roll in the morning and wasn't very hungry. Upon hearing this, Bai Qianzhou tried two sushi rolls, but in the end, he finished his steak.
Never waste food; this is a principle that every Chinese person should always keep in mind.
John wasn't picky; he was already used to the food from all over America.
After the three finished their meal, they walked to the beach, which was about a ten-minute walk from the restaurant. John hadn't brought a bicycle, but Fu Wan didn't mind.
Walk over and digest for a bit, and you won't feel uncomfortable when you go into the water.
They encountered many pedestrians along the way, and perhaps because Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou looked different, many people sized them up several times.
Fu Wan remained calm; let her watch, she would watch too.
But her composure crumbled when she saw someone walking an alligator on a skateboard.
She couldn't help but turn to John and ask curiously, "Does everyone here keep alligators as pets?"
"How could that be? Not every household has a crocodile as a pet!"
John burst into laughter upon hearing this. "There's a legend in Florida that every river has alligators. These alligators might attack people, but as long as you're fiercer than them, there's no problem."
"What if there were no crocodiles?"
"That will become its dinner!"
Fu Wan was nearly speechless with shock. What a perfect example of "survival of the fittest"!
The three of them chatted and laughed until they reached the beach. The Florida sea was very clean, with an endless expanse of blue that instantly lifted their spirits.
There were also many people sunbathing on the beach, a few playing beach volleyball, and some children digging in the sand and collecting seashells.
"Hey, what are those people doing?"
Fu Wan looked around and naturally didn't miss the crowd gathered in the distance.
Bai Qianzhou shook his head. "They're probably holding some kind of event!"
John didn't speak, but frowned as he looked at that spot.
"Hey! Hey! Hey!"
A commotion arose from afar, and the crowd rushed toward them at a visible speed. As soon as Fu Wan could see what was happening, she immediately reacted, grabbed Bai Qianzhou, and ran.
At the same time, she didn't forget to remind John.
"John, run!"
Wild boar!
Good heavens, Florida is truly unpredictable everywhere; there's even a herd of wild boars on this beach!
John, bewildered, started running after them. When he finally saw the herd of wild boars charging towards them, he immediately began swearing.
"Fuck, fuck!"
Fortunately, the wild boar chased the people for a short while before fleeing in another direction. Fu Wan and the other two breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the danger was over.
"Florida is truly extraordinary."
Bai Qianzhou deeply agreed with Fu Wan's words. He had been studying in the United States for quite some time, but this was the first time he had seen a wild boar on the beach.
John immediately offered a warm greeting to the politicians of Florida.
With the danger over, peace returned to the beach.
John took Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou to the place where he had booked the boat. The boat they booked was a large white and blue ship. According to John, the boat was rented for two days, and the total cost, including the cost of the sea permit, was fifty dollars.
Bai Qianzhou reimbursed him for the expense, and Fu Wan confirmed it with the staff next to her after boarding the ship.
Are there really no restrictions on catching fish or fishing here?
She didn't want the embassy to have to bail her out of prison.
Upon hearing this, the staff member burst into laughter as if he had heard a joke.
Fu Wan was completely bewildered. After he finished laughing, the man told her about the rules in Florida.
"This sea area is a free sea. As long as it's this season, you can catch anything in the sea. Of course, you can catch sharks if you have the ability."
It means that the capable should take the lead. Fu Wan felt relieved after hearing this. She liked this kind of sea area with few restrictions.
Otherwise, if you go out to sea and see seafood, you'll have to agonize over this and that, which is really troublesome.
After receiving the boat keys, the three went out to sea. Although the cost of renting a boat and obtaining a sea permit was not low, there were still quite a few people going out to sea for diving and fishing.
Last night, Fu Wan confirmed today's plan with Bai Qianzhou. They would first go to the coordinates given by the camp, which was the place provided by Smith.
But Fu Wan naturally couldn't tell John about this. In fact, she didn't know how much John knew about the purpose of their trip.
With that in mind, Fu Wan decided to sound out John.
"John, do you know what we're doing at sea?"
"Isn't going out to sea for fishing and diving?"
John replied without hesitation, and to be honest, he was also a little surprised as to why King had asked him to be the guide for the two of them.
Jin's reason for giving him this was that Florida was too chaotic, and Fu Wan and her companion were newcomers who needed his help.
Thinking about the possibility of a paid trip with some tips, John naturally agreed without hesitation.
