Chapter 97: The Sea
In the golden autumn, the sun squeezes out the clouds, shines on the earth, and casts on the rippling surface of the lake, it shines like a diamond; Sprinkled on the dense trees, it is the yellow robe of the emperor of the mainland. When she came to the beach, she thought that the golden sand under her feet was also the result of the sun.
"If it's your first time, don't miss this opportunity." He took off his shoes and socks and rushed out into the sea. The water went up to his ankles and splashed behind him. Then, he couldn't run anymore and chose to move slowly until he stopped. He turned, and the water was only up to his knees.
She took off her slippers, and the sand felt strangely stuck to her feet, but after a few more steps along his big footprints, she grew to like the feeling. She stopped at the last of her unsubmerged footprints, looking at the unsettled water, ready to lift her foot to try the sensation of the water, when suddenly he grabbed her hand and interlocked her fingersโhis hand was wide and colder.
The water quickly reached her ankles, but he wasn't going to stop, and they kept going until they reached their knees.
When the temperature of the sea rose to her face, she began to panic, "We should discuss the homework." โ
"Do you have any ideas?"
"Not yet," she said, "perhaps Dai Yue has already arranged it for me." โ
"Dai Yue?"
"He's my butler and guardian, the one in the suit."
"Oh."
"Do you have any ideas?" She asked.
He turned his head to look at her gentle blood-red eyes, mixed with mixed feelings, then let go of her hand and rushed deeper into the sea, diving into it without a trace for a long time. She became more and more anxious, and as she walked forward, she called out his name, but she never received a reply from him, until the sea had already reached her thighs and skirt, and he suddenly appeared before her. Ten meters away, he slowly approached, he was tall and burly in the sun, and his handsome black hair looked solemn and calm. Walking up to her, he didn't speak, but looked down at her dress.
"How deep is the water over there?" She asked.
She has no concept of depth at all, like a newborn white rabbit who doesn't know how scary a wolf is.
"It's enough to pass the tallest man in the world, and even deeper, but it's a pity that I haven't been farther away."
She looked out at the endless sea, imagining if it could accommodate a single building.
"I'm not going to let you try diving, because I don't have any other clothes, and because the scorching temperature of the sea is really uncomfortable." He took her hand and walked back, as he still retained the temperature of the sea, and his clothes didn't look like they were drying quickly.
"What do you think of diplomats?" He began to return to the topic.
"I haven't thought about it, but I don't know what this job is about."
"The Vampires are in crisis," he said seriously, "and the people on the mainland are putting pressure on us. โ
She listened with interest.
"There are a lot of countries over there, and it can be understood that there are many ethnic groups, and their people have a very short lifespan, the average life expectancy is less than 100 years old, and maybe they will live longer in the future. They are probably billions of people, with a very high birth rate and a high population density, and we are at a disadvantage compared to that. But what is even more terrible is that they have weapons and strong border guards, and unfortunately they have long since designated our islands as their territory, so we will be under their control. โ
"Are all the tribes, that is, billions of people, going to control us?" She couldn't imagine how many billions were, only that it was an astronomical amount.
"No, there is only one country. Although the country has a large population, it is fortunate that they accept peaceful exchanges, that is, diplomacy. โ
She suddenly felt that the position of diplomat was full of charm.
"I don't know why so many people still discriminate against diplomats, because without diplomacy we would be facing extinction."
He took off his T-shirt and glanced down at her skirt, "It's good that I still have a coat in the car, you will use it." โ
"Then came our hands-on journey." He retrieved the coat from the car and handed it to her, but he didn't care about his situation.
