Chapter 1

"I thought we were friends," Sakura said, turning her head, her youthful face filled with confusion

Yitan skillfully shifted his position and also pulled the somewhat nervous Sakura closer.

Because of these matters, if he does not take action, no one else will dare to do so

You are courting death. Victor angrily paced on the ship, holding the removed frog shoes in his hand, making a clanging sound as he struck them together

They are always destined to leave; this place is merely a destination for them.

Indeed very white

He An stopped his steps and patted Victor on the shoulder

Abu rubbed his eyes and pointed at the dark clouds in the distance

It is still a love involving several different people

A person

"Sakura," Yitan lay on the ground for a while before answering the girl's question, his tone no longer lighthearted, and the face that had always been smiling became somewhat serious. "This question, do not ask it again in the future."

The vast ocean stretches endlessly, and amidst the boundless expanse, a 60-ton speedboat floats on the surface of the sea like a tiny piece of white plastic waste

In this volunteer team, both the captain and the deputy captain, Victor, have fiery tempers, and it is quite common for them to come to blows every few days. However, they have been together for four years without separating, so he has long since become accustomed to watching the spectacle without intervening in their fights

Sakura, who runs very fast, dashed back with a flushed face, filled with excitement: "An!"

However, it is only this way.

"You deserve it." Victor said with a smile as he took the damp towel from Ethan and also got off the boat

He had Victor apply to return to Spain very early this year, and it is also for this reason

He covered Sakura's ears and squinted his eyes while looking at the sea outside

She shouted loudly the name of An

"It will be lonely." The girl stubbornly gazed at the sea, as if murmuring to Yitan and to herself, "No one will get used to parting."

The next topic should be rated 18+. Yitan nudged Xiaoying with a wink

I will spit on the lamb! Because no one likes a very angry Sakura, after the speedboat comes to a stop, she jumps off the boat, scoops a face full of seawater with a mask and splashes it on Yitan, then laughs heartily and turns to run away

As soon as Gu Ran and An boarded the ship, they were struck in the face by a mask thrown by Victor, leaving their faces darker than Victor's.

Leaving these kind teammates far behind

Abu smiled, put on his sunglasses that covered half of his face after starting the speedboat, and began to hum a tune.

Because he knows that these matters are things he must do

He An remained seated in the cockpit, having no intention of going out to deal with the already rampaging Victor

A guy said that the woman does not understand English and is unwilling to pay the entry fee to the island, so he needs you to act as a translator. She gestured animatedly as she finished speaking, then leaned in closer and whispered in a mysterious tone, "I have seen her; she is wearing a white dress, has very fair skin, and is very beautiful"

The argument between He An and Victor has ended, with He An sitting at the bow of the boat chewing tobacco, while Victor is nestled on the deck, smiling as he watches Yitan give Xiaoying a complete tarot card reading.

Before coming here, he had read news about He An, and the affairs of their family had caused quite a stir in the United States, while He An was quite famous

He actually admires He An, the man who devoted everything to protect the Earth and save himself

His complete lack of possessions destined him to be expendable

"Go back." He patted Abu, who had been sleeping in the cockpit and was just awakened by their noise.

This time, they did not venture far while retrieving the garbage. By the time they reached the island, it was still light; the dark clouds had dispersed, and the evening glow filled the sky, casting a dreamy pink hue over the entire island

That is not a question that just any friend can ask. Yitan gently rubbed Xiaoying's head, lay back down on the deck, and squinted at the dazzling blue sky.

Unrequited love, it is all unrequited love! Sakura was very excited, her face flushed like an apple, They all smile at me, but I do not know who likes me the most

"Why has An been here all this time?" The girl turned her head, lying flat in the posture of Xue Yi, stretching her legs as straight as possible.

The first to climb onto the speedboat was Victor, and his action of removing the mask was quite rough, indicating that he was angry.

Yitan smiled; he had the typical appearance of a Western person, with fair skin that had turned red from the sun, a head of messy hair, and a body covered in dense hair, resembling a golden bear when he laughed: "You underestimate An too much; the turnover rate among volunteers is inherently high, and such separations have long been a norm for An."

He probably guessed the reason and did not intend to continue listening

He is also very anxious, and there are signs that the smoking addiction he had quit for many years is relapsing again

Victor smiled as he tugged at the cheerful Sakura, waving his hand at He and An: "Go ahead, I'll take care of the finishing touches."

"I don't understand, I don't understand." Yitan smiled as she put away her precious tarot cards, "I have read for you five times, so you will pay for the lamb skewers tonight."

He is a foreigner here, and some matters must be escalated before anyone pays attention

However, I still hope that you can reconsider this matter. He waited for An to come closer before lowering his voice, "No matter whether I am here or not, you are always my best friend, and I do not want anything to happen to you"

She tugged at Yitan, who made a gesture to her to be quiet and cover her ears, and then pulled her to the other end of the speedboat

However, it is truly just that.

Due to the fair complexion, the facial features appear very refined

On the deck of the speedboat sat two individuals fully equipped in heavy diving gear. One of them, a petite figure, removed her back-mounted BCD, let out a sigh, and pulled off the hood, mask, and snorkel from her wetsuit, revealing the youthful face of a young girl.

She looked at him like this, her eyes red with helplessness, awkwardly pulling her suitcase and small bag.

Indeed, a storm is approaching, with dark clouds looming over the distant sea

"Yitan, is Victor really leaving?" The girl's English carried a Japanese accent, her voice crisp and sweet, murmuring as she spoke, infusing the English with a hint of Japanese flavor

Heated arguments between An and Victor escalated further, and he heard Victor cursing in Spanish out of anger

"No one likes you," Yitan said with a grimace, showing Sakura the cards. "Look, they all have single patterns."

He is unwilling to touch or even know about matters that would affect his own life, no matter how many there are

The cockpit is very small, and with An and Victor being excessively tall, they instantly turned into a can of sardines crammed inside.

The color of the deep sea is a deep blue, a pure deep blue that carries an aggressive quality, for it is boundless. In the midst of the ocean, one feels a sense of despair due to their insignificance.

He An nodded and, using somewhat unskilled Thai, reassured Abu: "We have received a storm warning, and we will not be going out to sea tomorrow and the day after."

The girl pouted, began to take off her frog shoes, and spoke in a soft tone tinged with unhappiness: "I will be going home after the summer vacation, and you can only stay until the end of this year at most. Now even Victor is leaving, so what will happen to An all by herself?"

He sacrifices his holidays, works hard for environmental protection in his daily life, and donates a portion of his income for afforestation. This is all he can do.

He has not turned back at all

That is not a question a friend can ask, it is a tragedy

Then you can apply to come over next summer vacation. Yitan does not possess the sensitive and sentimental heart of a young girl; he lies flat on the deck and lets out a comfortable sigh

He An squinted at the woman squatting on the beach, a very fair and beautiful Chinese woman as described by Xiao Ying

He paused the action of disembarking and frowned

"A guy said there is a woman waiting for you at the dock." She danced with excitement, "A Chinese woman!"

Victor is his best friend, and if he is also sent away, he will be completely alone.

"You will really die!" Victor clearly had no intention of letting him go, and he also dove in, followed closely by the curious Sakura and Yitan.

You are such a fraud!" Sakura exclaimed, baring her teeth in anger, as her Japanese-accented English began to spill out.

Hello, I am He An. He first showed courtesy before resorting to force, saying, "Coming to this island requires a fee of ten dollars"

Sakura behind him was still using her cute-accented English to plead with Victor not to leave, and Victor whispered something softly. Sakura let out a very exaggerated sigh, reminiscent of a comic.

He greatly admires him and the books

Because here he is the one who truly has nothing, and sometimes having nothing is the best and sharpest weapon

As two individuals emerged from the sea once again, Sakura was preparing to apply sunscreen for the fourth time. This summer, she had tanned significantly due to her volunteer work, and she was worried that the senior she had a crush on would no longer smile at her once he saw her. Therefore, she began to take remedial measures, wishing to wear a face mask even while sleeping every day

"It has been four years." Yitan opened a bottle of mineral water and tilted his head back, drinking more than half of it. His golden hair shimmered in the sunlight. "He also has his own life."

Yitan let out a whistle

However, when calculating tarot cards, only love is considered

"It shouldn't be you who manages it." Victor, in his anger, spoke English with a Spanish accent, his speech rapid and pronunciation peculiar, leaving Sakura completely unable to understand.

Joining the Earth Volunteers and dedicating his usual holidays to cleaning up ocean debris stems from his love for the planet. He cherishes the beauty of the azure sea and blue sky so deeply that, even knowing that the trash they collect is merely a drop in the bucket, he still wishes to contribute his part.

As the sun sets in the west, this stretch of white sand transforms into a somewhat alluring orange-yellow, while the Chinese woman squatting down gazes up at him.

He strode towards the dock without looking back

Sakura has been a member of the team for over a month. At seventeen years old, she obtained her AOW certification and immediately plunged into the ranks of diving volunteers. This is already her third time serving as a volunteer diver during the holidays. This petite girl is remarkably resilient, with both excellent physical and mental qualities

Did you not care? '' She cast a cold glance at Victor and pushed him out of the cockpit

He An said nothing, his face darkened as he removed his diving gear and plunged into the cockpit.
