Bai Yu and Wang Hai followed Hu Tao around the campus, but they didn't walk around; they rode electric bikes.
As a senior in college, Hu Tao certainly has experience with electric bikes. But as the saying goes, they are just athletes, and they don't need to do everything on their own. They are willing to ride bikes when they can.
They ate lunch in the cafeteria, but only before the freshmen's military training ended, as they didn't want to compete with the freshmen for food.
After lunch, the three of them briefly parted ways and returned to their respective dormitories to prepare for a midday rest.
Hu Tao's major is different from Bai Yu's, and they don't even live in the same dormitory. However, they did make a promise to go beachcombing together at two o'clock.
Hu Tao will then tell Bai Yu and her companion about a great place, a perfect spot for beachcombing, and it's located near Ocean University.
Back in the dormitory, Bai Yu and her companion quickly wiped their upper bodies dry and then lay down on the bed for a nap.
Compared to the freshmen who were still in military training, Bai Yu and Wang Hai were undoubtedly very relaxed, although part of the reason was that they had not started school yet and it was not their time for military training.
But now that there's a comparison, it's naturally a very happy thing for Bai Yu and her companion.
They slept until 2 p.m. When the alarm clock rang, Bai Yu and Wang Hai got up, and Bai Yu took out her phone to call Hu Tao.
"Cousin, have you rested enough? The tide is starting to go out now, shall we go beachcombing?"
Although Bai Yu and his group are currently in Haikou, hundreds of kilometers away from their hometown of Sanya, they are in the same sea area and the tide times are similar.
"Huh? It's already two o'clock? Wait here, I'll ride my bike to your building now."
Hu Tao's slightly groggy voice came from the other end of the phone; he seemed to have been woken up by Bai Yu's call.
"Okay, cousin, wake up! Let's go beachcombing early so we can earn more money. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
After Bai Yu reminded him again, there was a rustling sound from the other end of the line, and then the call was disconnected.
Bai Yu was so keen on going to the beach because he had checked his luck stat for the day, which was a high 57 points.
With such a high luck stat, it would be a waste not to go beachcombing today, so I absolutely have to go beachcombing today.
Led by Bai Yu, he and Wang Hai arrived at the dormitory building in just ten minutes, having completed all the preparations.
I've gathered all the necessary beachcombing tools: two buckets, a crab tong, a sand shovel, a cable tie, and four or five small nets.
I've changed my clothes; I'm wearing a sun-protective windbreaker for the beach and a sun hat. The only thing exposed is my feet, which are wearing sandals that are easy to wear in the water.
When Hu Tao rode up to them on his bicycle, the former was stunned. He never expected that Bai Yu and his group would be so well-prepared, using all the equipment from start to finish.
"Seriously, are you two here to study at Ocean University or to go beachcombing? Your equipment is way too complete! Does beachcombing really need to be this complicated? Isn't it enough to just bring a bucket?"
Compared to Bai Yu and Wang Hai, Hu Tao's situation was much simpler: a t-shirt, shorts, flip-flops, and a plastic bucket on his electric scooter. That was it.
"No wonder your face is so dark, cousin. I thought it was from training hard and getting a tan. I guess I was overthinking it."
Cousin, you must have gotten sunburned while you were beachcombing. No wonder your 100-meter time is only decent, while the other events are so bad.
Bai Yu glanced at Hu Tao, then shook her head as she spoke.
At this moment, Hu Tao was speechless after what Bai Yu said, but he couldn't refute it because Bai Yu was right; his best time was indeed only in the 100-meter dash.
"You're really good with words, but I hope you can talk less in the future. I'm afraid you'll get a beating because of your mouth, although it's not certain that anyone can beat you."
As the older cousin, Hu Tao naturally wouldn't get angry over a single sentence. However, he still gave Bai Yu a disgruntled look, then turned the handlebars of his electric scooter and drove off.
Bai Yu followed behind Wang Hai, and the two electric bikes drove out of the school gate and headed north outside the school.
Unlike before, Bai Yu rode south yesterday, which is the opposite of where Hu Tao is going now.
This also shows that the place Hu Tao is taking them to is definitely a place that Bai Yu and Wang Hai don't know about.
Ten minutes later, Hu Tao was the first to stop his electric scooter, and Bai Yu, who was following behind him, did the same.
At this point, they had just left the area of Ocean University, and they could still see the university's walls when they looked back.
"Xiaoyu, Wang Hai, what do you two think of that place for beachcombing? This is my private secret base. Whenever I'm short of money, I just come here for a couple of rounds, and I can easily earn enough for a few days' living expenses, Xue'er."
Let me tell you, even though there's no beach here and it's all just strange rocks, that's precisely why it's the easiest place to catch crabs and lobsters. There are also plenty of sea snails and other similar creatures here.”
Hu Tao parked the car, took the plastic bucket off the vehicle, and then explained the situation to Bai Yu and Wang Hai.
What appeared before Bai Yu and his companions was a rocky beach sandwiched between roads along a transportation route.
Why is it described as being "squeezed"? Because right in front of this angle, there are two intersecting asphalt roads, and this rocky beach is what's been squeezed out.
"Brother Tao, we trust you when it comes to beachcombing, but how do we get down to the beach here? Didn't you see the 'Danger, Do Not Go into the Sea' sign next to it?"
Based on Bai Yu's experience, the rocky beach across the road is a place where you can definitely find goods.
However, the only thing that made Bai Yu unhappy was that there was a warning sign erected right next to this rocky beach, which was a bit inappropriate.
"Huh? A warning sign? Please, Xiaobai, do you think anyone still cares about this these days? And let me tell you, this warning sign is only for tourists, not for us fishermen."
Otherwise, if fishermen aren't allowed to go to the beach because it's dangerous, how will we earn a living and support our families? So this warning sign is ineffective for us, you understand?
Hu Tao had naturally noticed the warning sign on the side long ago, but he didn't care.
Because many things often have unspoken rules, like this warning sign, which only warns the general public.
For those of them who make their living by the sea, even if the management sees it, they generally won't say anything, after all, they can't cut off someone's livelihood.
Bai Yu merely raised an eyebrow at what Hu Tao said without speaking. He understood what Hu Tao meant, and indeed, as the other party said, there were all sorts of unspoken rules beneath the various rules.
These unspoken rules cannot be openly discussed, but you can follow them without breaking any laws. However, you will have to bear the consequences yourself.
