Chapter 473: Chapter 473 Honeymoon 2
The climate in the Bahamas is warm. There’s no autumn or winter here, it’s warm all year round.
After Lin Qi arrived, she didn’t want to leave.
Originally, Hubble Island was the first stop of their honeymoon. After that, whichever country or city to go next, Huo Tingdong planned to decide with her. Initially, he only wanted to stay on Hubble Island for five days, but after five days, Lin Qi had no intention of leaving.
So he simply went along with her.
For the honeymoon, the focus was mainly on her.
On the second day of arriving in the Bahamas, Huo Tingdong took her to learn horseback riding.
She got up very early, and under his special guidance, she finally learned to ride a horse alone.
However, this ca with preconditions.
Huo Tingdong didn’t dare leave her side.
Although the horses were very gentle, in case of sudden situations, she was still a beginner without ergency handling capability. Therefore, when she rode alone, he didn’t dare stay too far away. She rode on the horse while he held the reins, leading her along the beach.
Lin Qi was actually quite confident. She felt that she was quite intelligent, with strong learning abilities, and even without him accompanying her, she could confidently manage on her own.
But naturally, Huo Tingdong wouldn’t just let her be.
Hence, when Lin Qi’s third request to ride a horse alone was rcilessly rejected, she beca a bit upset: “I think you’re just underestimating ! Do you really think I’m that silly, so you’re this worried about ?”
Huo Tingdong said, “I’m just worried you might fall.”
Lin Qi said, “But I see the horse as very gentle, it won’t let fall. Ever since I learned to ride, you’ve always been leading the horse, and I feel there’s no fun in it.”
Huo Tingdong patiently said, “Even the gentlest of horses can have monts of losing control. If t with an inexperienced rider, it’s hard to handle ergencies. If you fall from the horse and your head hits the ground first, it’s not just an issue of breaking arms or legs.”
Only then did Lin Qi stop talking.
Her enthusiasm for horseback riding wasn’t that high to begin with, so by the third day, she beca fascinated by diving.
Huo Tingdong held a diving certification, and he knew a bit about photography. On the morning of the third day, he returned from snorkeling with so photos.
Upon seeing them, Lin Qi was eager to try too.
Unexpectedly, the world beneath the sea was so captivating.
The area around Hubble Island is all shallow seas, so every year many people co here to snorkel.
Diving requires certification to dive independently. Those without a license can only experience it in shallow areas, unable to go to deeper places.
There were professional instructors on the island, so Lin Qi first learned simple breathing techniques and ear pressure balance techniques with them, then donned a wetsuit and entered the water.
Her first dive left a lasting impression on Lin Qi!
The feeling of entering the water was so marvelous!
She only felt that once underwater, the entire world suddenly beca so quiet.
Aside from the hissing sound of the respirator, she felt her entire body floating in the water, as if she were swimming.
This feeling was too amazing!
When people walk on land, there’s the grip of gravity, with a strong sense of focus.
But the weightlessness underwater is different from the feeling of dropping in a bungee jump.
Underwater, the whole body loses its center of gravity, floating up, though carrying heavy equipnt, there’s no sense of burden underwater.
Underwater, all sensory abilities are greatly reduced, visibility is very low, the nose is covered by the mask, speech is impossible, no sounds can be heard, surrounded by seawater that is a bit cold.
The resistance of the seawater is also substantial.
Thus, it’s impossible to walk with flexibility like on land.
The first ti Lin Qi dove underwater, this unfamiliar environnt and experience initially made her feel a bit uneasy, since she wasn’t very good at swimming.
But once she got used to it, she found the feeling very subtle.
The underwater world seed to have many mysterious realms awaiting her exploration.
The instructor said: “Seventy percent of the Earth’s surface is ocean. If you master diving, you can venture into places most people can never reach in their lifeti.”
It’s an indescribable sense of achievent.
This particular water area isn’t deep, six ters down, the seabed can be faintly seen.
After putting on her diving suit, Huo Tingdong held her hand and took her to the seabed.
In front of her eyes was a vast, breathtakingly beautiful coral reef!
The colorful corals, so shaped like hydrangeas, so like branches, swaying gracefully with the seawater, exceptionally gorgeous.
Schools of fish swam by in droves.
These wondrous creatures created a dazzlingly beautiful underwater world.
Lin Qi couldn’t tell what kind of fish they were, but they were very pretty.
Everything was so captivating.
Suddenly, she rembered the fairy tales her mother read to her as a child. The one she rembered most clearly was “The Little rmaid.” Perhaps, deep in the ocean, there really were rmaids living in such a beautiful underwater world.
Back on the shore, Lin Qi was still wanting more, eager to play again, but wasn’t allowed.
After all, she was a beginner; the first dive couldn’t be too long, otherwise, her physical condition couldn’t keep up.
Only then did Lin Qi realize that the world she knew, seen, and understood was still too little!
In comparison, Huo Tingdong had seen a much broader world!
In the evening, after dinner.
Lin Qi leaned on the balcony, from her vantage point, she could take in the beautiful night sea view.
Night fell.
Moonlight shone on the sea surface, sparkling, so microorganisms floating on the sea emitted a light as beautiful as stars.
Huo Tingdong hugged her from behind, resting his chin gently on her shoulder, softly asking: “What are you thinking about?”
Lin Qi said: “The sea at night is so beautiful. I miss Han and Momo. If they were here in such a beautiful place, they would surely have even more fun!”
After a pause, she suddenly thought: “Momo has never seen such a beautiful ocean, right?”
Huo Tingdong said: “There will be many opportunities in the future. If you like it here, I can bring you anyti.”
Lin Qi smiled and continued quietly watching the sea.
At this mont, she felt the entire world quiet down.
She was so captivated by the scenery in front of her, yet unaware that the man behind her was just as captivated by the view before him.
He gently turned her body to face him.
“Is the sea view that captivating?”
She had been staring at the ocean for so long.
Lin Qi said: “Of course it’s captivating! You know, never in my life have I seen such a beautiful sea view!”
Beautiful scenery can really open up one’s heart, evoke emotion, and make one marvel at the beauty of life, being able to witness such beautiful landscapes.
Huo Tingdong pressed his forehead against hers, pecked her lips lightly, his gaze affectionate yet teasing, “Too absorbed in looking at the sea, you haven’t spared a glance for .”
