At the noodle stall, after Yang Lin finished eating the bowl of noodles worth tens of thousands in front of everyone, the tourists dispersed.
They clearly didn't feel any difference between this bowl of noodles, fried with precious ingredients, and ordinary fried noodles.
In fact, not only them, but Yang Lin himself felt the same.
"What the heck, it's just ordinary fried noodles."
After saying that, he quickly apologized to the lobster that had been temporarily housed in the noodle stall owner's aquarium:
"Sorry, it was actually quite tasty, it's just the noodles were rubbish."
As soon as he finished speaking, the noodle stall owner rolled up his sleeves.
"Pretend I didn't say anything. I'm leaving, big brother. I'll come back to pick it up later."
Wiping his mouth with a tissue, Yang Lin, now full, began to stroll around the island like an ordinary tourist.
Sunlight, beach, sea breeze, ocean views, everything was perfect.
In addition to these natural landscapes, tourists could also occasionally see marine life passing by or playing in the sea from the observation deck.
Since the marine life of Little Sun Country collectively escaped, the marine resources in Dragon Country's waters have become unprecedentedly abundant.
The vicinity of Dolphin Island was no exception.
Therefore, tourists would occasionally find all sorts of marine creatures washed ashore by the waves on the beach.
Starfish, sea urchins, crabs, small fish, shells.
Every time someone found something, the tourists acted as if they had found a rare treasure.
This undoubtedly added a lot of fun for the tourists.
As Yang Lin walked barefoot onto the beach, he happened to see two children, a boy and a girl, who had found a large fish washed ashore by the waves.
Unlike the adult tourists, these two children did not put the unlucky sea fish into their buckets. Instead, they ran to the fish, which was nearly half a meter long.
To Yang Lin's surprise, they cautiously squatted down.
"Little fish, little fish, why are you so stupid? You can't go back now, can you?"
"Sister, will its mother worry if it can't go back?"
"It's okay, we'll just send it back."
"Okay!"
As they spoke, the two children with sparkling eyes each picked up one end of the large fish and, with great effort, started to carry it towards the sea.
But perhaps due to the low tide, the sea water receded a little with every step they took forward.
They chased for a long time without catching up to the water.
"Sister, let's run faster! The sea is running away, and the little fish will soon die of thirst."
Seeing that they couldn't catch up to the waves, the younger boy was on the verge of tears.
"Okay, then let's speed up a bit."
Led by his sister, their speed gradually increased.
But at this moment, a wave half a meter high suddenly crashed over them.
An adult would have been fine, but they were too small.
Under the impact of the wave, the two children lost their footing and were swept away by the wave along with the fish.
Yang Lin, who had been smiling moments before, suddenly changed his expression upon seeing this.
Without time to think, he sprinted towards the siblings.
Meanwhile, the children's parents, who were collecting shellfish on the other side, finally noticed this perilous scene.
"Jingjing, Niuniu!"
With a cry full of fear, the parents and other tourists rushed over immediately.
"What's happening?"
"Some children were swept away by the waves."
"Call the lifeguard!"
"Someone has already jumped in."
"I think it's Director Yang."
"If it's Director Yang, then it should be fine."
...
Under everyone's anxious gaze, Yang Lin, who had already jumped into the sea, began to chase after the two children at the fastest speed possible.
But the siblings, carried by the sea, were moving too fast. In the blink of an eye, they were tens of meters away from the coastline.
However, Yang Lin was not to be trifled with. Once in the water, his speed was no less than that of the fastest fish in the ocean.
Even the surging waves could not affect him.
But just as he was about to approach the siblings, a sharp-eyed tourist on the beach noticed a dorsal fin protruding from the sea surface, also approaching the children.
The moment he saw the dorsal fin, the tourist couldn't help but exclaim.
"Shark! There's a shark!"
With his shout, more people immediately spotted the dorsal fin.
Almost instantly, they recalled the shark school that had appeared at the opening ceremony.
Although the sharks had shown no aggression at that time, perhaps they were not hungry then.
Their sudden appearance now was unpredictable.
"It's over, it's over. The shark must be going for those two children."
"Director Yang, hurry up."
"Faster, faster."
"It's too late!"
Everyone watched helplessly as the shark, beneath the waves, got closer and closer to the two children, but they could do nothing.
Even with Yang Lin there, they didn't believe he could do anything about a shark in the sea.
Seeing the three people and one shark about to converge, everyone was ready to cover their eyes.
But at this moment, a larger wave suddenly rolled in.
Instantly, everyone's vision was blocked by the wave.
When the wave passed, a scene that completely surprised everyone appeared before them.
About fifty meters from the coastline, the shark that had been lurking beneath the surface of the water finally revealed its true form.
With sharp teeth, distinct stripes, and a body over five meters long, it was none other than the most terrifying creature of the near seas – a tiger shark.
Yet, this terrifying creature was being ridden by a pair of small children, one large and one small, as if it were a docile pony.
Yang Lin, on the other side, acted like a horseman, reaching out to stroke its large head.
Before anyone could react, Yang Lin patted the tiger shark's back.
The next second, the tiger shark swam towards the shore.
A dozen seconds later, the tiger shark carrying the two children smoothly stopped on the beach.
Seeing this, the children's parents rushed over and hugged their two children.
To everyone's surprise, the siblings, who had just escaped danger, were not at all panicked. Instead, they were all smiles.
"Mom and Dad, look, we saved a little fish just now, and the little fish's mother brought us back."
"But that little fish didn't look quite like its mother."
"So much fun, I want to do it again!"
Listening to their innocent words, their parents didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Just then, Yang Lin, dripping wet, also walked ashore.
Looking at the two kind and innocent children, he recounted what he had seen and heard in front of everyone, and then took two pure white shells from the pocket of his beach shorts.
