She handed a tattered diary in her hand to Qin Baihui.

Qin Baihui smiled and took it, saying, "Very good, you may leave first; I need to stay here a while longer."

Xiao Qing first bowed slightly, then said, "Master says to have you capture the Mr. Who Doesn't Like to Talk; there is nothing else."

"Xiao Qing!" Qin Baihui exclaimed.

After bowing slightly once more, Xiao Qing left.

Without hesitation, Qin Baihui opened that tattered diary.

Then she flipped through it quickly.

She stopped only when she reached the middle.

Ning Chen and Zhang Xiaonian watched her actions without speaking.

Qin Baihui recited the contents above in a leisurely tone.

"That day, I dove into a sea area. Unlike before, I passed through an arched rock and came to a seabed fissure. It was a very narrow fissure, emitting light. Out of curiosity, I crawled inside. Through that narrow hollow, there lay a beach glowing with fluorescence."

Having said this,

Qin Baihui closed that notebook.

Ning Chen spoke, "Is there no further continuation?"

Qin Baihui shook her head and said, "No."

Zhang Xiaonian asked curiously, "This notebook of yours is ragged; whose is it?"

Qin Baihui paused, then revealed a sorrowful expression: "It was my mother's."

"She passed away."

"Oh, I'm sorry," Zhang Xiaonian apologized.

Qin Baihui set down that notebook, waved her hand, and said, "It's all right."

Ning Chen, asking for more details, said calmly, "Did she say whether she dove during the day or at night?"

Qin Baihui hesitated for a moment before saying, "At night, because I remember that the next morning, Mother told me about this incident."

"Good." Ning Chen nodded. "Then I will dive at night."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaonian immediately looked at Ning Chen and said, "Big brother, are you going into the sea?"

Ning Chen looked at her and said, "You cannot come along this time. You cannot use diving equipment now; even if you want to learn, it will take some time."

Zhang Xiaonian opened her mouth to say something, but Ning Chen cut her off.

"This time is different from last time; it cannot be done just by talking."

These words.

Completely severed Zhang Xiaonian's thought of following him.

Zhang Xiaonian said somewhat sadly, "Then all right; I and the Husky will wait for your return on the beach."

Ning Chen nodded and patted the little girl's small head.

Then.

He looked at Qin Baihui.

If Qin Baihui were to come along, many detours could be avoided.

After all, her mother had once gone to that place; there must be details she had told her.

As if seeing through Ning Chen's meaning,

Qin Baihui smiled and shook her head, saying, "I won't dive with you!"

Ning Chen was somewhat surprised but did not say much.

After all,

whether to dive or not was Qin Baihui's freedom.

Time passed quickly.

In an instant, it reached late evening.

Everyone had already left.

Only a few people remained, packing up their shops.

And Ning Chen's group.

The evening sea breeze was especially cool.

Blowing on the body.

Very comfortable.

Like a towel dipped in water.

Wiping away the hot sweat on the body.

A full moon.

Hung over the nearby sea.

Seen from afar,

it formed a beautiful evening picture.

"The bright moon rises from the sea."

That describes this very moment.

Making one unable to help but indulge in it.

For a moment,

it seemed as if something pierced through the brain.

All the past filth and blockages were entirely transformed into white feathers by this scene.

Sweep them away one by one.

It makes one feel refreshed and clear-headed.

Ning Chen sat on the beach.

He was not in a hurry to go into the water.

The him of now.

Lowered his head.

Only wanted to feel the sea breeze.

Inside the live stream.

Many people watched such scenery.

And one after another voiced their feelings.

【Indeed, good scenery can resonate with people.】

【I don't know why, but watching this scene, I'm actually shedding tears?】

【It's too beautiful, yet things that are too beautiful always draw out many emotions—perhaps happiness, perhaps pain. Everyone looking at such scenery thinks differently in their hearts. If you feel distressed, the scenery is desolate; if you feel happy, the scenery is enjoyment.】

【What the person above said is truly wonderful! Right now, looking at this scenery, I only feel endless desolation surge within my heart. My startup failed, I was abandoned by my partners, and I'm carrying nearly a hundred thousand in debt alone. With my heart cooled and my spirit broken, I wanted to end my life, but thinking of my elderly parents at home, I couldn't bring myself to do it!】

【Later, I entered a factory. The dull life of going back and forth between two points every day lasted exactly three years. It took three years for me to pay off the debt, and I ate and drank at home the whole time, enjoying not a single cent. Now that the debt is paid, I don't feel any lighter; instead, the pressure is even greater.】

【I have no ambitions, no money, no thoughts of romance, and no other forms of entertainment. My parents at home urge me to get married, but with what can I marry? Watching my friends settle into stable lives, I'm already in my thirties and don't even have a home. Suddenly, I feel life has no purpose.】

【There is only endless desolation. Looking at this scenery, my heart feels icy cold, and in the end, it can only turn into a series of sighs.】

【Old brother, don't lose hope. You should go out more, look around more, just like streamer Brother Shiguang. Don't worry about what you've lost; look forward and see what you can still gain.】

【I find this scenery very comfortable. Just now, I bought a lottery ticket, won, and got a thousand yuan, haha! Although it's not much, it still makes me happy for several days!】

【My son was just born yesterday! Everyone, please give my son a name and share in our joy!】

【Old brother above, if a person has no ambitions, they will become a salted fish. Staying at home makes you a salted fish among salted fish. You might have already turned into a factory machine. The world is vast; I suggest you go out and see more, walk more. Surely something unexpected will appear before you!】

【Yes, yes! Find a goal, anything will do. Just don't commit crimes (wink).】

【Then I'll just go for a walk.】

224. (3/5) Leave everything to that young man.

Qin Baihui walked over to Ning Chen's side and sat down.

For some reason.

She at night.

Lacked the spirit and vitality of daytime.

It seemed.
