Chapter 2049 Fulfilled Promise

"Let us see you, let us rescue you"

"It's God."

"You should thank God."

There was a hint of seriousness in the captain's eyes.

People who make a living at sea are inevitably somewhat superstitious.

Zhao Lei was stunned.

Then a bright smile spread across his face.

"Ah."

He has already thanked God.

I also made an appointment with "God" for the next meeting.

"I see."

"I will thank God very much."

"Thank you for letting you see my distress signal."

"Thank you for letting me on board, too."

“I am very grateful to God and you.”

"thank you all."

Zhao Lei bent down slightly.

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

The captain avoided him and said, "Young people just like to be polite."

"Okay, I won't talk to you any more."

"Are you here for tourism?"

"Can you tell?"

Zhao Lei was stunned.

"That is."

“I can tell at a glance whether a person is a local or an outsider.”

The captain looked proud.

"Go back to the hotel and take a good shower and rest."

"You must be very tired these days, right?"

"Ah."

Although very happy.

But after getting off the boat, I heard the voices of people around me, and it was as if everything had settled, and a feeling of fatigue came over me.

He reached out and pressed his forehead.

There was a hint of fatigue between his brows.

"Can you go back to the hotel by yourself?"

The captain frowned.

"or-"

"no, I'm fine."

Zhao Lei smiled and waved his hand.

The captain and his men have just returned and there is still a lot to do.

How could he have the nerve to bother them when they were so busy?
"My hotel is nearby."

"thank you all."

Zhao Lei thanked him again.

"Then I'll take my leave."

It suddenly occurred to him that he should first go to the place where he rented the boat to show that he was safe.

And compensation for the boat...

Thinking of the almost shattered boat, Zhao Lei smiled bitterly.

He also tried to repair the boat.

It is better to rely on oneself than to rely on others.

Since rescue was not coming, he tried to save himself.

Unfortunately, he spent a long time circling around the damaged boat.

Touch and bump.

But I don't know where to start.

Eventually he gave up.

He is indeed not as powerful a protagonist as in adventure novels.

……

Although Zhao Lei really wanted to have a good rest before dealing with these trivial matters.

but……

Maybe the boss has already called the police and he is now a missing person.

Thinking about it this way, it is obvious that delaying it will cause more trouble, so it is better to explain it as soon as possible.

……

Zhao Lei turned around, identified the surrounding scenery, and then took a step forward.

……

After everything was settled, Zhao Lei fell asleep quickly after lying on the bed in the hotel.

Wake up.

Warm orange light shone through the gaps between the drawn curtains.

Zhao Lei looked at his phone.

Fortunately, he had placed all his clothes and belongings in the locker before going out to sea.

Otherwise, he will need to buy a new phone.

New phones are not a problem.

The problem is the numbers and messages saved in the old phone.

It takes some effort to find those things that are lost.

……

It's almost evening.

I didn't expect that he slept for the whole afternoon.

He is lying on the bed.

Previous experiences emerged in my mind one by one.

"Huzi, do you think Xiaomei will remember our agreement?"

"Ow~"

Hu Zi rolled his eyes.

who knows?
If you ask it to say, if it doesn't remember, then forget it.

However, seeing that Zhao Lei really wanted the other party to remember it, it reluctantly patted Zhao Lei's shoulder with its tail.

I will remember it.

That guy is a monster.

It's not a real fish.

How could I not remember it if I really wanted to?
Zhao Lei smiled.

"Ah."

There was no point in him thinking more now.

You'll know when you get there later.

……

The next year, Zhao Lei arrived as promised.

He found the captain of the ship and asked for the exact location of the isolated island.

After all, he didn't know how he got there, and it would be too difficult for him to find the way back.

He declined the captain's offer to take him there.

Instead, he rented a boat and went out to sea.

After all, it wasn't appropriate for other people to be present at his farewell meeting with Xiaomei.

……

The familiar island appeared before my eyes.

Zhao Lei took a deep breath.

A bitter smile appeared on his face.

Why is he a little nervous?
Are you worried?

……

Zhao Lei stopped the boat at the coast.

Everything in front of me felt familiar.

The island had not changed at all since the last time he had been there.

He threw off his slippers and stepped barefoot on the sand.

He was a little burned at first.

When the sea water flows over the instep of your feet, a slight coolness spreads.

A comfortable smile appeared on his face.

But soon, his expression became restrained.

He looked down into the sea.

The water is blue.

The bright sunshine illuminates more sea scenery.

The rippling waves made Zhao Lei squint his eyes subconsciously.

He took a few more steps forward.

He didn't stop until the water reached his knees.

……

He searched around.

I didn't see any familiar figures.

really.

How is it possible that Xiaomei can sense him as soon as he appears?
He was also fanciful.

Zhao Lei took a deep breath.

"Xiao Mei!"

he yelled.

"Xiao Mei!"

"I'm Zhao Lei."

"I'm here to see you..."

……

Some seabirds were startled by Zhao Lei's voice.

There were several rapid flapping sounds of wings.

The white seabirds quickly disappeared into the horizon.

……

"Xiaomei, Xiaomei...Xiaomei!"

Zhao Lei shouted again and again.

The sea in front of me is dazzlingly blue.

The beautiful pink-gold color did not appear.

……

I don’t know how long I shouted, but Zhao Lei’s mouth was dry.

What is even more painful is the disappointment and depression in my heart.

So at that time... Xiaomei didn’t understand what he said?
What agreement... It's just his own words...

Zhao Lei looked up.

The sun is scorching.

The sky was clear and bright, as if it was glowing.

He raised his hands to shield his eyes.

Look dazed.

"Xiaomei..."

"Hey~"

The familiar voice almost made Zhao Lei jump up.

"Xiao Mei?!"

He lowered his head hastily.

There is still no familiar figure in the sea before me.

He frowned, looking anxious.

"Xiao Mei?"

"Where are you?"

"Xiaomei..."

"Hey~"

There was a joyful smile in the voice.

"Ow~"

Hu Zi looked away.

This idiot.

It was simply unbearable to watch.

……

Zhao Lei took a deep breath.

clam down.

The sound just now...

He turned around suddenly.

A bright smiling face came into his sight.

He smiled too.

The corners of his grinning mouth revealed shiny white teeth.

"Xiao Mei!"

……

"You naughty boy."

Zhao Lei said with some complaints.

There was a smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

Even this complaint was said with a hint of smile.

"咿~咿~"

Xiaomei hit Zhao Lei's belly with her head.

By the time Zhao Lei reacted, it had already swam quickly behind him.

Zhao Lei turned around.

Looking at Xiaomei clapping happily, he was in a good mood.
