In the next three days, Han Dan and Tao Hua's training tasks were very tight, so Chen Xing and Mingyue lived a happy two-person world, basically all the time at Takamaka Beach, they still liked this beach for the first time spent 6 days together, the white sand here, delicate and soft, strange rocks and strange rocks, mysterious and colorful, coconut trees and sea breeze, swaying and gentle.

Lying on the recliner under the sun umbrella, the two of them sometimes chatted endlessly about their ideals and prospects for life, and sometimes they just lay quietly, feeling the company of each other by their side, and let that feeling of happiness diffuse, surrounding the two tightly.

During this period, at the request of Chen Xing, Mingyue borrowed a lot of books on world history, geography, cultural relics, minerals, religion, marine life, human structure, life sciences and other related aspects from the National Library of Seychelles, a whole large box, a camera and several camera films. She was as strange as last time, so many books, can she finish reading them? But she was still very relieved to see that Chen Xing loved learning so much.

On the day he boarded the ship, Chen Xing went to the free market next to Independence Avenue in Victoria and spent $200 to buy four Seychelles specialties: sea coconuts, three of which were given to Mingyue, Han Dan and Taohua each. This gift made the three young people blush.

The sea coconut tree looks like a coconut tree, but it is very different, one is that it grows slowly, has a long life, and has a unique growth cycle: it is a long trunk after the leaves, one leaf a year, and a trunk for fifteen years; it bears fruit at the beginning of twenty-five years, and it takes eight years for one fruit to mature. Therefore, the sea coconut tree generally has a long lifespan, and the elderly are up to 400 years. The tree is also taller than other coconut trees, reaching a height of 35 meters. Second, the fruit is hard and has a peculiar appearance: it resembles a human biological-reproductive organ, and it is actually male and female.

The fruit of the female tree is huge, generally light from 10 kilograms to more than 30 kilograms, it should be regarded as the largest and heaviest fruit in the plant kingdom, and its fruit shape is simply a replica of the female bio-breeding-device, which is a miracle of nature, so it is very popular with tourists who come to Seychelles, and generally take one back as a souvenir.

On the other hand, although the calyx shape of the male tree is very similar to that of the male tree, it is weak compared to the plump and round female fruit, which has neither sight nor economic value, and is basically not visited by tourists. Therefore, the sea coconut of the female tree is one of the most characteristic gifts of Seychelles, only Seychelles is the only one in the world, and now there are more than 7,000 sea coconut trees left only on Praslin Island and the nearby island of Crieus, and to some extent the Shanghai coconut is the symbol of this country.

So this gift is unique. Even if Mingyue pinched Chen Xing fiercely afterwards, saying that he had taught the child badly, the three of them had been in the Seychelles for so long, and they knew about this specialty, so they were not embarrassed to buy it.

Chen Xingle accepted Mingyue's repair, he knew that the three of them liked this gift, as a Chinese person, in the face of this shape of the specialty, although a little embarrassed, a little embarrassed, but who doesn't like to be unique, or unique in the world, take it home to show relatives and friends, then you will be proud not to want. (Twenty years later, Seychelles banned the smuggling of "sea coconuts" out of the country, and foreign tourists who wanted to take the sea coconuts with them had to have a permit issued by the local government, and the value was more than thousands of dollars. ）

On 9 November 1995, the Aristotle had all the catches, the fuel was full, and the necessary supplies were fully equipped.

At 5 p.m. that day, Mingyue sent Chen Xing to Victoria Wharf. Thinking that this time it will be about another month apart, the two of them are very reluctant. Mingyue held Chen Xing's hand tightly, looked into his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Every time it's like this, I don't know how to survive at the thought of being separated for a month, when your contract expires, you must not run away again, I will never leave you for so long." ”

Chen Xing also held Mingyue's soft little hand tightly, and said affectionately: "Well, definitely, the day when my contract expires is the day when we will be together forever, and we will never be separated." ”

Mingyue smiled softly, and her grip on Chen Xing's hand tightened.

Chen Xing said: "We have talked about those few things in the past few days, if you have time, you can take the time to do it within this month." First of all, sell ambergris as soon as possible, and the price is you decide, and it is mainly safe and low-key. At the same time, pay attention to the right location and house, and when the money is in place, we will pay it all at once, and in such a beautiful place, we can be regarded as having our own home.

Those twelve beads, just pay attention to them slowly, don't be in a hurry. When you have nothing to do, buy more things you like, our current income is enough to spend, don't save. If there are no special circumstances, at the end of the year, while our ship is overhauled, let's go back to Kyoto and M City, see your mother, and accompany me to see my mother, father and grandmother. ”

Mingyue hammered Chen Xing coquettishly, and said: "Okay, my brother Xingxing, it's been several times, listen to you, I'll do it, the laboratory will be arranged at the end of the year, and my father should also return to China for the New Year, and we will go back together when the time comes." ”

The two young people were still reluctant to separate, so they shook hands and looked at each other. Chen Xing finally mustered up the courage, hugged Mingyue into his arms, and kissed the girl's warm and sweet cherry lips. Mingyue was a little stunned at first, and then hugged Chen Xing's back tightly and responded enthusiastically.

It was the first kiss of two 20-year-olds, both shy and passionate, clumsy and natural. This kiss is unforgettable for Chen Xing and Ye Mingyue.

The next day, the Aristotle slowly sailed away from Victoria Harbour, taking away Chen Xing's deep longing for Mingyue. What is the most painful thing in this world? Is the separation between lovers counted as one? Is lovesickness counted as one?
