Chapter 157 Night Dive
Chapter 157 Night Dive
Qin Nuo and Bai Nini boarded the luxurious cruise ship side by side. Accompanied by the melodious whistle, the ship slowly sailed away from the port and headed towards the endless blue sea. The sea breeze gently caressed their faces, bringing a salty yet refreshing breath.
Andrew, standing on the deck, excitedly walked over to Qin Nuo and said with anticipation, "Hey, brother! How about we go night diving? This sea area is full of treasures, such as plump Australian lobsters and delicious sea urchins! And, if we're lucky enough, we might even find some rare pearls!"
Qin Nuo's eyes lit up instantly when he heard this. He imagined catching pearls with his own hands, then having a craftsman meticulously craft a unique set of jewelry for Bai Nini. What a romantic and meaningful thing that would be! He was secretly excited.
However, at this moment, Bai Nini, who had been silently accompanying him, gently grabbed Qin Nuo's hand. A hint of worry flashed in her eyes, and she asked softly, "Your wound has just healed. Is it dangerous to go into the water now? I don't want you to get into any accidents because of this."
Seeing this, Andrew quickly explained with a smile, "Don't worry, we're not going alone this time. We've brought a professional diving team with us! And we won't be diving very deep. We're just going to catch some fresh and delicious seafood. You and Alice can just relax and enjoy some sea fishing on the cruise ship. We'll be back soon!"
Qin Nuo followed Andrew and his companions closely as they headed towards the wide deck of the cruise ship. After arriving at their destination, they quickly changed into professional diving suits and, under the guidance of an experienced diving instructor and their sturdy bodyguards, jumped into the turbulent sea without hesitation.
Bai Nini, standing nearby, couldn't help but feel nervous. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the sea where Qin Nuo had disappeared in an instant, as if she would lose him forever if she lost her focus for even a moment.
At this moment, the sea shrouded in darkness, illuminated by the cold and distant moonlight, appears even darker, like a huge piece of blue silk spread between heaven and earth.
At this moment, Alice walked lightly to the front of the fence, stretched out her slender, white jade-like hand, gently climbed onto Bai Nini's slightly trembling shoulders, and comforted her softly: "Dear Nini, don't be so nervous! Don't worry, this sea area is very safe, there are no large aggressive marine creatures at all. Besides, our bodyguard team are all diving masters who have undergone rigorous professional training! My brother also often comes here to catch delicious Australian lobsters and tender and plump sea urchins! I believe everyone will be able to enjoy a feast tonight!" After that, Alice smiled and took Bai Nini's hand, and slowly walked towards the sea fishing area specially set up on the cruise ship.
When they arrived, they found that several well-trained servants had already carefully prepared a full range of sea fishing gear for them - exquisite fishing rods, small and exquisite fish hooks, colorful fishing lines, etc. In addition, there were also many mouth-watering snacks and fresh and tempting fruits placed nearby for them to enjoy while waiting for the fish to bite.
Bai Nini took a deep breath, trying to suppress the uneasiness that surged in her heart like a tide. She slowly walked to the small, soft chair and sat down gently. She adjusted her sitting posture slightly, trying to appear more natural. Then she smiled at Alice across from her and began to chat with her.
Alice blinked her bright eyes, a hint of curiosity in them, and asked, "Sister-in-law! I heard that you really plan to return to your mountain village to become a teacher after graduation?"
Bai Nini nodded without hesitation and replied softly, "Yeah!" Although her voice was not loud, it was full of determination.
Hearing this answer, Alice couldn't help but frown, a look of worry on her face, and continued: "But the conditions there are so difficult and harsh. You have finally come to the prosperous big city, and you have to be with Brother Qin Nuo. With your status, you will become the young lady of the Qin family in the future. How can a daughter-in-law of a wealthy family go to a remote mountainous area to teach?" As she spoke, Alice shook her head slightly, expressing that she didn't understand this matter.
However, in the face of Alice's questioning and persuasion, Bai Nini simply smiled slightly, then raised her delicate little face, her gaze becoming distant and profound. She said slowly, "Actually, the reason I made this decision is because of my life experience. My parents tragically passed away when I was very young. And my father was once the only teacher in our mountain village. I remember that year, a terrible flash flood suddenly broke out in the mountains. The situation was extremely critical, and the flood was surging and unstoppable. But at that moment, my parents didn't hesitate at all. They rushed to the trapped students without hesitation, wanting to save them from danger... Unfortunately, the merciless flash flood eventually swept them away, and from then on, I lost my dearest parents." At this point, Bai Nini's eyes gradually moistened, and tears glittered in the corners of her eyes.
Alice opened her mouth in surprise, her face full of disbelief: "Oh, my, I'm so sorry! I didn't expect to bring up your sad story!" She looked at the other person with guilt.
Bai Nini shook her head gently and said with a smile: "It really doesn't matter! In fact, there is nothing to hide about my life experience. I was raised by the villagers in the mountains since I was a child. Although I don't have the company of my biological parents, those kind and simple villagers gave me a lot of warmth and love. So I have always wanted to repay them and fulfill my father's unfulfilled wish before his death-to contribute to the education cause of the mountain village! After all, the children in the mountains need teachers so much. Only by learning knowledge and culture can they have the opportunity to walk out of the closed mountains and see the wider world outside!" At this point, Bai Nini's eyes flashed with a firm and bright light, like the brightest stars in the night sky.
Alice nodded and asked thoughtfully, "What about Qin Nuo? What does he think about you making such a choice after graduation? Aren't you worried at all that the Qin family will obstruct you?" There was a hint of curiosity in her words.
