One week later.
Shekh and Shi Jinzhe successfully arrived at the small island where whale watching is possible.
In tropical countries, the sea breeze carries the scent of ripe fruit, and for Sher, it's like being in paradise.
The streets are full of ripe custard apples, and while picking through them, you might occasionally encounter a pleasant surprise, such as...
A brightly colored bamboo viper crawled out from the pile of fruit.
Shi Jinzhe picked up the fruit for the fourth time, and for the fourth time made eye contact with a slightly fluffy fruit.
After seeing so much, one's heart becomes as still as water.
He casually called out to Shekh and asked her to take the snake away. Then he encountered a fifth one.
...
Why is it that good things don't have that probability?
Shekh released the snake that had been playing dead and said to Shi Jinzhe in a good mood, "You're really lucky."
Shi Jinzhe: "I think those snakes were luckier."
You can see amazing creatures without leaving home.
Shekh took a bite of fruit: "I think so too."
"We're so lucky, hopefully we'll see whales tomorrow."
The next day.
Shekh got up early, yawning as he boarded the whale-watching boat.
Whale watching requires sailing to waters nearly 1,000 meters deep. Today the waves were high, and the experience was far less pleasant than Sher's first boat ride.
It was swaying and staggering, as if its body was flying.
An hour after boarding the ship, Shekh was so seasick that he couldn't lean on anything and could only lie on his broken legs with his upper body on top of her.
Shi Jin gathered her hair and said, "Don't stare at the water outside, it'll make you even more dizzy."
"I'm not dizzy."
"..." How come you're still not dizzy after all this?
That snake is really stubborn.
Shekh propped himself up on his arms, shook his head, and felt like his brain was full of water.
Another wave came from below the boat, and she swayed and fell back down again, drooping her head uncomfortably.
Shi Jin patted her back and said, "Are you just not compatible with places by the sea...?"
Before boarding the ship, he had specially given himself and Shekh seasickness medication, but she still couldn't escape it.
"What is the Eight Characters (八字)?"
"It's a very mysterious thing, used for fortune telling, but since neither of us has a father or mother, we probably can't find the exact time."
"Those two are quite a good match." The familiar language system appeared on the other end; Chinese people are truly everywhere.
The man who spoke to her was wearing sunglasses. He took out a bag of preserved plums from his backpack and handed it to Shi Jinzhe, saying, "Give her two preserved plums; they can help relieve seasickness."
"Thanks."
"Thank you," Shekh said after Shi Jinzhe.
The sour plum stimulated his mouth, suppressing the dizziness. After twenty minutes, Sher was finally able to sit up straight.
But she wasn't seasick; instead, she felt sleepy.
So Shekh tilted his head to the side, closed his eyes, and leaned back against her shoulder.
"If you're sleepy, take a nap. I'll wake you when you can see me."
Shi Jinzhe's arm wrapped around Sheh's shoulder from behind, blocking her eyes.
The man in sunglasses asked curiously, "She can see. I thought she was wearing a black cloth because she had bad eyesight."
"You can see, but your eyes can't be exposed to light, so they're covered."
Having dealt with such questions countless times, I can now answer them fluently and effortlessly.
The man in sunglasses, lost in thought, sighed, "That's good; true friendship is revealed in times of trouble."
Shi Jinzhe didn't say anything; Shekh had indeed come to him during his time of trouble.
The guy in sunglasses said, "By the way, looking at her eyes reminds me of a video I saw online the other day. There was a couple in it, and wow, it was quite a sight. The rich kid tried to steal her love by flaunting his wealth, and the girl was just as blind as her."
The two men moved in unison, opening their mouths to ask the older brother, "Video...?"
Shekh pulled down the hand covering his eyes. "Is the person you're talking about someone who looks like me?"
"Hey, you know what, it seems like we're quite..." The older brother stammered.
This shouldn't be just a "seem"; he felt, no matter how he looked at it, that he had actually encountered the person in question.
He found the video he had watched before, clicked play, leaned back, and held up his phone to compare it carefully.
Although the video isn't high-definition, even when bright people are blurred into mosaics, they're still easily recognizable.
Shi Jinzhe politely asked, "May I take a look at this?"
The man in sunglasses turned his phone around and turned the brightness up to the maximum. "See?"
The video was taken by onlookers that day and is not very clear. He and Shekh only showed half of their faces, but Cheng Youan's arrogant look as if he wanted to hit someone with a card was captured very clearly.
Title: I thought it was a lowbrow drama, but it turned out to be magical realism.
Because Cheng Youan mentioned the Cheng family, Cheng Yun's name also became a keyword in the tag.
Once the older brother got into the gossip mode, he couldn't control himself: "To be honest, you look more like a rich person than him. When I saw this video, I said that unless your girlfriend is blind, she would never choose him."
Although the words were straightforward, Shi Jinzhe didn't feel offended at all, perhaps because the older brother's tone was so sincere.
The man in sunglasses continued, "But didn't they contact you after you beat them up? I saw in the comments that this Cheng family is super rich."
"No, maybe they know they're in the wrong."
Shi Jinzhe made up a random excuse, but he was puzzled. Why didn't Cheng Youan use this as an excuse to make things difficult for him? Had he lost his mind?
Before he could think it through, the whale-watching boat arrived at the designated area.
The guide at the bow of the boat repeated the precautions for departure.
My fellow tourists were making thorough preparations, carrying cameras and underwater video cameras.
Only Shehe and Shijinzhe were free, truly only bringing one person with them.
Ripples spread across the azure sea, endless waves overlapping one another, only to be immediately swallowed up by the higher waves behind them as the sea breeze blows.
Shekh left the cabin and walked to the railing. His ankle-length sun-protective blouse was blown backward by the wind, and the thin skirt underneath was attached to the blouse.
One hand was used to fix her hair, pull her clothes back, and hold onto the railing when she felt dizzy.
"Let you experience it by taking a small boat before you come."
Shi Jinzhe moved from her side to behind her, holding onto the railing, getting closer to Shehe. Her flowing hair and clothes clung to him, and she stopped running around.
