Chapter 3: First Arrival on Mafu Island

When Xingyu and Mia arrive at the airport in the capital of Madai, they find out that they have chosen to live on Mafu Island, the second largest island in the Maldives archipelago. However, they booked different hotels, so when they arrived at Mafu Island, they made an appointment to have dinner together and went their separate ways.

After Xingyu checked into the hotel, he couldn't wait to put down his luggage and go out. Xingyu walked along the beach alone and leisurely watched the sunset over Mafu Island. As he walked, Xingyu began to feel sweaty, and couldn't help but murmur a complaint: "It's really hot in a tropical country, it's still hot when it's windy." Xingyu looked at the beach, and then laughed at himself: "Stupid! There was not a single cloud in the sky. The beach absorbs the heat of the day's sun, and of course it's hot! "Xingyu is hot and wants to buy ice cream to cool off. Looking around, Xingyu soon saw a row of shops across the road from the beach, across a clearing of land. Heung-woo left the beach and went to the row of shops to look for ice cream.

Looking at the row of shops from the outside, each store sells different items. There are snack shops, clothing shops, wetsuit rental shops, and fishing tackle shops. After entering the store, Xingyu found that there were small doors connecting the inside of this row of stores. In fact, the whole row store is a supermarket with a full range of goods. Xingyu didn't want to buy anything else, so he hurriedly walked around and went to find ice cream. It may be because the weather in Maldives is hot all year round, and ice cream is particularly easy to sell. The ice cream is filled with a large refrigerator. I used to watch a set of movies about the president of the United States and a little boy sitting in this kind of refrigerator to escape. The shop's top-up refrigerator is big enough for three people. "What are you thinking? How did you think about this? Xingyu himself felt funny, thinking self-deprecatingly. However, when taking the ice cream, Xingyu, who studied mechanical engineering, immediately noticed that the top-opening cabinet door was locked inside and outside. There is a handle on the outside to unlock, and there is also a handle on the inside. "That's a good design!" At this time, Xingyu was thinking nonsense again. On more than one occasion in the news, we have seen reports of cleaning crews or maintenance workers unexpectedly closing the refrigerator door while cleaning or repairing the inside of the refrigerator. People are trapped in the refrigerator and can't open the door by themselves. And this refrigerator also has a handle to open the door, and the safety awareness of the design has been improved.

"Stop thinking nonsense. I asked Mia to have dinner together! It's not too early now," Xingyu thought to himself, picked up two ice creams and paid for them, and walked to the hotel where Miya lived.

Both of them are students, so naturally they will not choose high-budget restaurants on the island that specialize in tourist business. In the afternoon, Xingyu had already walked around the island. So know that there are shops only near the pier, and restaurants are concentrated there. The two walked through several restaurants there, and finally found that the buffet at the hotel turned out to be the cheapest. In order to facilitate Miya's return to the room, Xingyu chose to dine at the hotel where Miya lived. "My parents won't arrive until tomorrow evening. So I still have half a day to spare. Shall I play with me tomorrow morning? What do you want to play? Mia asked Xingyu playfully while eating. Mafu Island is so small that it's no wonder Mia asks what she wants to do instead of where to go.

"Since it's your free time, see what you want to play, and your parents don't." Xingyu was very conscious and gently threw the ball back.

"Shall we go diving tomorrow morning? My parents were afraid that I would have an accident and never let me learn to dive. I don't know if I can dive without a diving license here. Mia looked at Heungwoo with a worried look.

Xingyu replied with a smile: "Hehe! I got my diving license in middle school. Last year, I also took the coaching license. I usually work as a part-time coach to earn travel expenses. So tomorrow I can take you on a dive. ”

"Great! That's it. Don't let the plane go! Mia looked at Xingyu with shiny eyes.

In the end, the two agreed to meet at the diving suit rental shop that Xingyu saw in the afternoon tomorrow morning. Since both of them had breakfast at their respective hotels, they decided to have breakfast separately.
