Chapter 3
He An's strength is truly remarkable
Bei Zhiyi : `` ... ... ''
... ... ... ...
I agree. Victor turned his head, and the arrival of Bei Zhiyi made him feel very good. The vice-captain also has the authority to sign.
with the buttocks facing up and the head facing down
This is the best method that Bei Zhiyi can think of
"In addition to diving, there are many other tasks that require volunteers here." Victor placed the application form on the desk, carefully holding it down with a teacup. "The education level of the island's residents is not high, and Ann conducts three days of spoken English classes each week for the island's underage children. Your English is sufficient to teach these children."
In the future, you will be responsible for teaching the children English every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, preparing dinner on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as organizing the data after each outing at sea. An Yu speaks very quickly, "Xiao Ying's room is too small; you can sleep in my room at night, and I can sleep in the hall."
Long hair, the kind that is neither permed nor dyed, with very soft texture and slightly yellowed ends
"Rest, just take a break and you will be able to walk again." She murmured, hiding her swollen ankle beneath her long skirt
For that moment, she wanted to try to hold on a little longer
Do not think that you are barefoot; you have long ceased to be alone.
She anxiously bit her lip
This is true. Victor firmly pressed his hand on An's shoulder, saying, "You have never been completely alone, so do not touch those people's bottom line. Think more about yourself; you have friends, you are the captain here, and you have responsibilities"
"I have been here for two years and have never seen An change his mind. What exactly did you say to him?" Yitan was very agitated
... ...
After confirming that Bei Zhiyi had merely sprained her ankle without any bone injury, he began to chant softly as he applied a layer of herbal medicine for her. Then, he winked at her and, in a mysterious tone, told her: "This is a mysterious gift from the East"
The night is dark and the wind is strong
He An is just like she was at the beginning, with a temperamental disposition; however, she is not a bad person and is quite easily softened.
However, this girl is indeed a bit strange
He An half-squatted beside Bei Zhiyi, using the light from her phone's flash to closely examine her ankle
The atmosphere is very pleasant
There will be a typhoon the day after tomorrow, so we won't need to go out to sea. I will help you fix the room in these two days
Although the current situation is quite absurd, it must be said that the posture proposed by Bei Zhiyi is indeed the most appropriate
I... it's fine. Beizhi realized that her insistence at this moment was somewhat inexplicable. She also noticed that there seemed to be some conflict between An and Victor, and she was becoming a weapon in the tug-of-war between the two sides
A boat arrives at this island every Friday; however, if the wind and waves are too strong, it will come every other week. If you inform me in advance, I can assist you in renting a boat to take you to Koh Lipe, where there are boats to Langkawi every day
Additionally, we need a clerk to record the weight of the garbage transported on a regular basis, and to organize the data on corals and sharks that we bring back. Xiaoying is still a child, and the three of us men are rather careless, so it would be very suitable for you to take on this task
I am sorry. She has not forgotten to apologize at the moment she was lifted up
With a furrowed brow of annoyance, he shifted his focus to Bei Zhiyi, who appeared to be more approachable: "The conditions here are quite harsh, there is no air conditioning, the remaining vacant rooms lack screens, and the fans are also broken"
They appear to genuinely welcome her, rather than wanting to send her back to China.
With one hand carrying the box and the other supporting her, he strode purposefully to the volunteer base, where he unceremoniously placed her onto a chair, merely rubbing his shoulders and tugging at the corners of his mouth
There are no police on this island. In order to prevent his brainwashing efforts from being disrupted by those troublesome individuals, He An despicably began to communicate in Chinese, saying, "The public security is not very good. If something happens, we can only wait for the maritime police to arrive, which is very inefficient. In the event of a real emergency, we can only rely on ourselves."
He An glanced at her, his expression unchanged.
She is an odd person, her face collided with the muscles behind An's back, separated by a cold and slightly fishy wetsuit, and her apology was very sincere
He has been studying the volunteer form handed to him by Bei Zhiyi with his head down, saying nothing, yet he has been smiling all the while
Such a girl sits with her head lowered, with an unpleasant herbal paste applied to her feet. Her white dress is stained with a lot of sand brought from the beach, and her pair of white crystal sandals is covered in dirt
She was very much on the verge of tears; after lowering her head, she quickly sniffed and swallowed her tears back.
Moreover, there are no formal clinics; the medications at our base exceed those available at their pharmacies. In the event that you experience discomfort due to the local environment and wish to go to the hospital, you will also have to wait for the rescue boat to arrive
Sakura said, "No one can get used to loneliness." Victor laughed, "An, you possess a kind of magic that makes people willingly stay by your side; I have never seen it fail.
Yitan, who is twenty-seven years old, is a Swedish individual and a very typical descendant of the Germanic people. He has blonde hair, blue eyes, a tall stature, and fair skin. His appearance is quite cold, yet his personality is very warm, even somewhat superstitious.
Seventeen-year-old Sakura is Japanese, a high school student, with a baby face and a high-pitched voice. She is in the prime of her youth, always wearing a cheerful smile, and can be easily delighted to the point of squealing over the smallest things
Sakura has already screamed as she pushed her luggage into the room where she just took a shower with An, while Yitan has been asking her what she just said to An in Chinese.
However, no matter how secure she feels, he is still a stranger she has known for less than two hours. On a hot day, although she is wearing a conservative dress, it is still quite thin.
Bei Zhiyi lowered her head and tugged at her skirt
"Can you cook?" This question was asked in English, and Victor, who was drinking water at the time, nearly choked to death, his eyes wide open as if he had seen a ghost
She may be a bit conservative and has a headache thinking about An.
Bei Zhiyi shook her head
"I did not agree." After An finished his shower and changed into a tank top and shorts, Bei Zhiyi secretly looked at him and finally noticed a hint of mixed heritage in him
He knows how much trouble it is to come here from China, as there are no direct flights; one must fly to Malaysia for a transfer. The waves are quite rough today, and she probably has been seasick.
What did she say to you? Victor asked the same question. It is possible for someone as stubborn as An to change their mind; this girl is not as non-aggressive as she appears on the surface
However, here, there is at least the sunset and the sea
These individuals are completely different from Tong and An; their enthusiasm overwhelms Bei Zhiyi, who is still in a state of cerebral congestion.
Only he can bypass the recruitment criteria he has set. He knows what he wants to do. The more teammates he has, the more his actions will be constrained. For the safety of his teammates, he certainly cannot act recklessly
Given her personality, she should have fled in panic as soon as she scolded An on the beach and demanded that she pay the island fee
Her face showed no signs of flushing and she was not out of breath, as if she had merely carried a bag of rice moments ago
He An remained silent in the darkness, with one powerful hand lifting the box and the other carrying the flower girl
"It's nothing." And An spoke in a rough and gruff manner
Many volunteers who applied to come here left in tears the next day, and some appeared to be much tougher than her. He truly could not understand what she was holding on to.
Not only did they not, but they also expressed their persistence in the quietest voice amidst such chaotic circumstances
Bei Zhiyi stared at He An's back
He An slammed the towel used for wiping his head onto the table with great force, making a loud noise
Beizhi shook her head with a slight blush on her face
You are well aware that you are not suited for this place; why must you insist on staying here?
"Before the screen window fan is repaired, I can sleep with her first." Sakura raised her hand, smiling like a blooming flower
He could feel the girl tensing her body, trying her best to keep her head away from his back, trembling and on the verge of falling.
If there are any issues, you can contact me or Victor at any time. You can go home whenever you want; just inform us that you are buying a boat ticket and leaving.
He did not expect that the seemingly soft and gentle Bei Zhiyi would be so persistent, choosing to stay in such a place that had nothing to offer.
He An coughed once
He carried her enormous suitcase with his other hand, and indeed, treating her like a sack of rice slung over his shoulder was the most effortless way to do it
I do not fit in many places" Bei Zhiyi lowered her head, "I am not only unsuitable here, I am unsuitable in many places
... ...
Are there any other issues?" He said in one breath and took a sip of water
This world is truly insane
Welcome! He finally concluded, ignoring He An, who had a dark expression after coming out of the shower. Sakura and Yitan were clapping vigorously on the side, their faces filled with joy.
She felt that she might have been enchanted by the sunset on the island, which was so beautiful it seemed otherworldly. This place was too far removed from her reality, and all the invisible pressures dissipated under that sunset. In that moment, she felt that she could finally breathe freely
You have changed the admission criteria for the volunteer recruitment website. He did not respond directly, his complexion still looked poor, and he spoke in declarative sentences
It is quite impolite of you to show such a demeanor on the first day of a newcomer. Victor, surprisingly, did not lose his temper and smiled in a somewhat irritating manner
I..." Bei Zhiyi struggled to utter a word, and then even more painfully completed the latter half of her sentence, "You... can carry me away.
The atmosphere was completely different when she walked along the dark road with An.
No matter how much he despises this delicate girl, the application form she holds in her hand is for their base, and he cannot truly abandon her.
In fact, the scent is just that of ordinary herbal medicine for bruises and injuries, but Bei Zhi is convinced that when Yi Tan was applying the herbal medicine for her, the incantations he muttered were definitely related to spells
He An was stunned
She cannot cry, as she has already caused this stranger a lot of trouble today
The facial features are quite delicate, falling into the above-average category among Asians. They are pleasant to look at, but can certainly not be described as stunning
Finally, there is Victor, who appears the most composed, aged 31, a Spaniard
"I can't go." An stood up, took a deep breath, and squatted down with his back to her, saying, "Get on!"
Due to the impending typhoon, the sound of the waves in the distance is growing louder. Unlike the vibrant sunset of the day, the now pitch-black island, surrounded by the howling winds, resembles a scene from a horror film
He has a tall and robust physique, resembling the mercenaries often seen in movies, which gives his shoulders a very reassuring presence
His skin tone leans towards that of the yellow race, having been tanned to a bronze color by the sun. His hair is not as thick as that of Westerners, appearing quite in line with Eastern aesthetic standards
This was his first serious observation of the girl, who was dressed in a conservative white dress with three-quarter sleeves and a high neckline. The dress was quite long, which is why there was no awkwardness when he had just carried her like a sack of rice.
She sprained her ankle. In the end, it was An who spoke first, rubbing her neck which was somewhat sore from being pressed. Her tone was calm, "Yitan, please help me take care of this, I am going to take a shower"
Bei Zhiyi looked up
Although he really wants to
She is a rigid and conservative person who is out of touch with the times. Her primary principle when buying clothes is to minimize the area of exposed skin. Even on this tropical island, she wears a long dress with three-quarter sleeves that reaches down to her ankles
"Not much will be gained." She hesitated for a moment, "Just ordinary boiled noodles and simple stir-fried dishes"
"... ... Get lost." An An chewed the tobacco forcefully a couple of times
Like carrying luggage
... ...
She is rigid, lacking flexibility in her approach to tasks, with conservative thoughts and naive ideas. A person like her is not suitable for many situations
Although her ankle was only sprained and the injury was not severe, wearing somewhat high-heeled sandals made it difficult for her to walk on the sand, exacerbating her injury
In the brightly lit base hall, there were others present, all of whom were taken aback by her uniquely creative entrance, leaving them momentarily at a loss for words
A marine environmental protection volunteer who cannot swim and is somewhat conservative
He left without looking back, and after closing the door, the others in the base seemed to have their mute switches turned off, instantly becoming lively and bustling.
His brow was tightly furrowed, and his lips were pressed together. Even in such darkness surrounding them, Bei Zhiyi could deeply sense his intention to bury her right there.
She was merely compelled by him to reveal some heartfelt truths
Bei Zhiyi : `` ... ... ''
She has come here through great hardships, only to be met with his relentless attempts to find reasons to expel her. The only reason she persists is that she cannot find a place that suits her.
But she did not
Moreover, there are many bugs. I particularly like girls with such delicate skin and tender flesh, but he did not say the last half of the sentence. He finally realized that he was somewhat childish, while Victor and the others beside him already wore expressions of watching a show
The arrival time of the rescue ship depends on the weather; if the weather is unfavorable, it could take two to three days
