Chapter 328

Qin Baihui was struck in a soft spot deep within her heart by Ning Chen's words.

She did not know why she felt drawn to cling to the man before her.

But his words had clearly hurt her feelings.

However.

Qin Baihui was not the type of woman to give up easily!

She immediately followed to Ning Chen's left, hands clasped behind her back, lowered her posture, and smiled at him: "Do you have anything you like or any hobbies?"

Ning Chen glanced at her and said, "No."

"Then is there any place you want to go?"

Ning Chen stopped walking; he still did not know exactly where that fluorescent beach was, and the map indicated it lay somewhere within this vast ocean.

To search recklessly would be no different than looking for a needle in a haystack.

So asking a local was the best choice.

Thus.

Ning Chen asked, "Do you know of a fluorescent beach here?"

Qin Baihui paused, then said, "I do, but it has always been just a legend."

"Legend?" Ning Chen was somewhat surprised; what kind of scenery could become a legend?

Qin Baihui nodded and said, "In the legend, when the waves sing their song, a trench capable of supporting human footsteps appears in the seawater, hiding a paradise within; that paradise is the fluorescent beach of Nanhai City."

Listening to Qin Baihui's explanation.

Ning Chen frowned.

A legend?

How could one find it?

Did one have to dive into the sea?

Thinking this.

Ning Chen looked at the system in his mind.

Hoping it would provide more information.

However.

It did not.

Ning Chen sighed; how was he supposed to find it?

"Do you want to go to that beach?" Qin Baihui leaned forward and asked.

Ning Chen said nothing, merely nodding.

Qin Baihui moved closer to him and whispered, "I have a lead!"

Ning Chen looked at Qin Baihui and said without thinking, "Then what do you want in exchange?"

Qin Baihui smiled: "Do you see only transactional relationships in your eyes? Can't we be friends?"

"Friends?" Ning Chen paused, then lowered his head.

Qin Baihui looked at Ning Chen; although she did not quite understand his reaction, her keen intuition told her that this Mr. who disliked speaking must have a deeply moving story.

Could it be love?

As a woman's intuition.

Qin Baihui's first thought was that Ning Chen had suffered setbacks in matters of the heart.

Then came the influence of his family from childhood.

For instance, receiving strict education since youth, speaking little, and having no friends.

Or perhaps being beaten and scolded so often that he developed depression.

"Yes, friends," Qin Baihui continued.

Ning Chen looked at Qin Baihui and said, "Friends are irrelevant."

Qin Baihui looked at Ning Chen, sighed, and said, "You are quite stubborn!"

Ning Chen remained silent and said nothing.

Qin Baihui pointed to a coconut restaurant and said, "Let's go sit there."

The two walked into the restaurant and ordered a drink at random.

Qin Baihui made a call and said, "Xiao Qing, bring the diary from my room."

"I have already retired from the underworld."

Zhang Nian said.

"I know, but even a fish that has come ashore still carries the scent of the sea."

A little boy looked at his hands and sneered coldly.

Hearing this.

Zhang Nian's face showed difficulty.

The little boy continued his attack: "You have held a knife; the smell of rust on your hands cannot be hidden."

All of Zhang Nian's emotions finally turned into a sigh: "I will protect you one last time."

The little boy shoved his hands into his pockets, his head bowed low: "Garden Kindergarten, Senior Class, three in the afternoon; I'll be there, and you'd better be too."

"You'd better be..."

Through the little boy, Zhang Nian saw Ning Chen following Qin Baihui into a drink shop and immediately felt as though her home had been stolen from.

She abandoned the little boy and hurried straight toward Ning Chen.

Leaving only the little boy standing there, utterly bewildered, staring at a husky.

The Husky looked at him with a serious expression.

Zhang Xiao ran over to Ning Chen's side, sat down, panting heavily.

Qin Baihui looked at the little girl, smiled, and said to the waiter, "Bring her a glass of ice-cold milk."

The waiter nodded, wrote it on the bill, and left.

Zhang Xiao immediately said dissatisfied, "That's for children to drink."

Qin Baihui paid her no heed.

Instead, she stared straight at Ning Chen and said, "We need diving equipment to enter the sea. Although we don't know its exact location, there is no doubt that it is definitely at the bottom of the sea."

Diving equipment?

Ning Chen looked at the system's previous reward.

Black Technology — Underwater Breathing Apparatus.

Could it be?

While rewarding me, did the system already determine where I need to go next?

223. (2/5) A solitary dive, the desolation of the bright moon rising over the sea.

Ning Chen looked at Qin Baihui and said, "I have my own diving gear; just get your own ready."

"Oh, you say you have some? How come I don't see it?"

Qin Baihui thought Ning Chen was saying this because he was too embarrassed to ask her for help.

She even made a slightly exaggerated gesture, placing her right hand horizontally across her forehead and looking around.

This was a bit provocative.

Qin Baihui really wanted to see if this Mr. who didn't like to talk would show any other emotional fluctuations.

However.

As expected.

Indeed, there was no other reaction.

Ning Chen said, "You don't need to worry about that."

Qin Baihui smiled and didn't say much more.

Just then.

A voice suddenly appeared.

"Young Lady, I have brought the items you requested."

A person wearing a light maid outfit entered this beverage shop.
