CHAPTER 512: CHAPTER 375: THE DROWNING MAN

Li Jing skillfully controlled the motorcycle, zooming along the winding road with lightning speed.

The scenery on both sides retreated rapidly like a slideshow, the rushing wind composing a spirited symphony in his ears.

Li Jing pushed the limits of his motorcycle riding skills, every acceleration and every turn precise and smooth.

The sensation of speed, carried by the breeze, hit him with an intensity and clarity that excited his senses; this exhilarating feeling was an experience like no other.

He finally understood why so many people are addicted to motorcycle riding; the pure gratification brought by speed is unattainable in other activities.

Sophie clung firmly to Li Jing’s waist, leaning slightly forward, immersed in the ultimate allure.

She already had a passion for motorcycles, and at this moment, because of the man in front of her, she felt the thrill of speed more intensely.

Her heartbeat accelerated with the speed of the motorcycle, her blood seemingly ignited, surging through her veins.

This unique sensation became more unforgettable because of Li Jing.

She pressed closely against Li Jing’s broad back, feeling the warmth emanating from his body, a sense of peace and happiness filled her heart.

She secretly prayed that this moment could be frozen in time, never ending.

After about twenty minutes of riding, out of the corner of his eye, Li Jing noticed the roadside scenery was particularly captivating, slowing the motorcycle smoothly to a stop by the road.

This area was close to the seaside, and by crossing this open land ahead, the sea could be seen from afar.

Li Jing nimbly dismounted the motorcycle, took off his helmet, turned to Sophie, and suggested:

"We’ve ridden for quite a while; why don’t we check out the seaside? It’s not far from here."

Sophie gently removed her helmet, letting her long hair fall freely, she gazed at the serene, deserted beach far away, a slight smile on her lips, nodded, and replied, "Sure, let’s go take a look."

With that, they secured the motorcycle and walked side by side towards the beach.

The beach was not large, surrounded by lush vegetation and scattered rocks.

There were no paved paths or typical tourist facilities here, making it unsuitable for large numbers of visitors, so no businesses had developed in this area.

"The scenery here is nice, not overly developed and naturally pure," Li Jing remarked to Sophie.

Sophie observed Li Jing soaking in the untouched natural landscape, nodding:

"Of course, that’s why I wanted to take you on a bike ride.

Many beautiful scenes are hidden in unknown places; excessive commercialization strips many beautiful things of their original essence."

After seeing those neatly planned, bustling big beaches, this primitive and naturally preserved small beach before them seemed to have a unique charm.

The clear sea water exuded an intoxicating azure, sparkling under the tender caress of the sun, as rhythmic waves gently hit the shore, making melodious sounds.

The fine sand was clean, shimmering faintly golden under the sunlight, as if meticulously laid by nature itself.

Li Jing strode to the beachside, gazing at the distant horizon where the sea met the sky, feeling a broad and open sense of joy.

He took a deep breath of the slightly salty sea air, and sincerely exclaimed:

"Yes, this place is really nice."

Sophie, with light steps, quietly walked to his side, spread her arms, and raised her chin.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath as well, a vague sense of comfort and freedom spreading inside, leaving her with a sense of happiness.

"It’s so beautiful here! I just want to stay like this forever," Sophie couldn’t help but express.

Li Jing gazed down at Sophie’s exquisite and beautiful face, her black hair freely dancing in the sea breeze.

Under the sunlight, Sophie appeared carefree, yet uniquely captivating.

Li Jing couldn’t help reaching out to touch her silky and beautiful hair.

Sophie felt Li Jing’s action and opened her eyes, looking at him.

Li Jing’s eyes did not dodge, directly meeting Sophie’s gaze.

Their eyes locked, Sophie felt a sudden stirring within, just as she was about to speak, she caught sight of some moving figures in the distance out of the corner of her eye.

She turned to look carefully, startled, and unsurely asked:

"Li Jing, do you see someone over there? It seems like something is happening."

Li Jing followed her gaze and indeed saw a few figures there, faintly hearing some chaotic cries, he frowned slightly.

Seeing that there seemed to be some trouble over there, after pondering for a moment, he said to Sophie:

"Shall we go over and take a look?"

Sophie didn’t hesitate to nod, decisively saying:

"Sure, if something’s really happening, and we can help, let’s lend a hand."

Sophie, naturally straightforward and helpful, eagerly dashed toward that direction once receiving Li Jing’s response.

Li Jing understood her nature and quickly followed behind.

Li Jing and Sophie quickly arrived near the scene.

Before getting close, chaotic and urgent voices speaking in English reached them.

Looking carefully, they saw three people with anxious expressions surrounding a man lying on the beach.

Their features were entirely different from East Asian faces, two women and a man, all with striking blonde hair and fair skin.

Li Jing was full of surprise, seeing such faces in this secluded, non-tourist spot was truly unexpected.
