Chapter 475
Dole and Sim came to the easternmost side of the beach.

This time is just when the tide has receded and has not yet risen, and the surrounding reefs are everywhere.

Sim led her, moving easily on the reef, as if looking for something.

"Well, Mr. Xi, can you tell me what this puzzle means?"

Seeing that he had no intention of explaining, Tao Le had no choice but to ask.

"That's it." Sim bent down, pulled out something from a deep underwater reef, and put it in the palm of his hand for her to see.

It was a creature shaped like a turtle's foot, only two or three centimeters long, attached to the reef at the back, and had five small claws on the front.

Tao Lesheng was in the interior, completely ignorant of the parasites on the reef: "What is this?"

"Turtle feet," Sim explained. "A very delicious ingredient."

"Well, what does that have to do with our puzzle?"

"Of course it's related." Xi Muwen said: "Look at it, does it look like the word 'Wu', or the word 'Yi'?"

Really like it.Don't the five small claws on the tortoise's foot look like the word "wu"?

"So the first eight characters are not oysters or clams. If they are not like Yi, they should be talking about the tortoise's feet." Tao Le suddenly said:
"And the following eight characters, do you want us to go to a place with a lot of turtle feet?"

Simu's eyes were full of smiles: "You're right. The tortoise's feet like to grow in rock crevices with clear water, but if you want to say where they are the most, they are caves by the water."

"There are not many places on this beach that meet the requirements, and I think we can get clues to the second step soon."

Indeed, as he said, although the beach with turtle feet is not small, there are only three caves.

In the largest cave, there is a small oiled paper package hanging.

Tao Le carefully disassembled it, and saw a line of words written in it: "Looking up makes you taller, drilling makes you stronger. If you are loyal, you will grow old and admire purple."

She clearly knew all these sixteen characters, but when she thought about it carefully, she felt that they were obscure.

"Looking up makes it taller, and drilling it makes it stronger." She murmured, "This is used to describe Confucius' profound knowledge, but what does it mean here?"

After thinking for a while, Sim laughed: "Lele, don't think too complicatedly, just think about it literally."

"It looks very tall, something that needs to be looked up." Tao Le reacted: "There are quite a few on this island. They are either trees or cliffs."

"But since the addition of drill makes it stronger, the former is basically ruled out." Her eyes lit up, a little excited.

"Probably looking for a tall cliff."

Simu's eyes were full of smiles, and only then did he interject: "Then, in your opinion, what does the latter sentence mean?"

Tao Le's excitement lies precisely in this.Guessing crossword puzzles is her forte, and she is best at it.

"I just discovered that there is an anagram embedded in the last two sentences." She said happily: "Think about it, add a little to the word Dan, and add the head of the word Bai, what is the word?"

"Boat?" Simu suddenly asked, "What does Muzi mean?"

"Purple is coming from the east." Tao Le is very confident now: "Take a boat to the east, and you should be able to find this high cliff."

Coincidentally, when they walked out of the cave, they saw a rubber raft with two oars floating on the sea not far away.

The raft was in waist-deep water, and to get up one had to be in the water.

As soon as Tao Le thought of this question, he felt his waist tighten, and he was hugged by Sim.

Her head was next to his chin, and her nose was filled with the faint scent of thousand-year-old cypress.

It was obviously such an ambiguous posture, and she was under the camera, but her body was very soft, and she didn't intend to reject him from the inside out.

The appearance of Simu's faction is taken for granted, and there is no explanation for this.

He stepped into the water step by step, not caring about his shoes, socks and underwear.A pair of strong arms supported Tao Le firmly until she was gently put on the raft.

Sim followed closely onto the rubber raft. Although the space in it was narrow, he was careful not to wet Tao Le's clothes.

The cameraman didn't keep up and was replaced by drones in the sky.

Gradually the raft headed east, skirting the cliffs on the beach side, and soon left Basecamp behind.

The sea is quiet and blue, and as far as the eye can see, there is no one else except birds and fish.

Sim put down his oars, his eyes fell directly on Tao Le's face, thousands of words were churning in his heart, and when they fell to his lips, he hesitated to speak.

Tao Le looked at the unfathomable sea water around him, and finally couldn't help but speak first.

"Mr. Xi, did you not have a good rest outside last night, so you are tired?"

"It's okay, let me paddle." She picked up the oars and cast her eyes on a high cliff ahead:
"That cliff is very similar, let's go and have a look."

"No hurry," Sim moved faster than his voice, already holding her hand.

Tao Le was startled, and wanted to withdraw, but found that he couldn't move at all.

"Mr. Xi, what is this?"

"Just call me by my name." Simu said, "Ximu, it's just a transliteration. The correct pronunciation should be Simu."

"Alright, Sim." Tao Le said helplessly, "What do you want?"

"I just wanted to have a good talk with you."

"Okay." Tao Le responded readily.In fact, she has always wanted to know what Sim was thinking, and why he had such a favor on her.

"What do you want to talk about?"

Sim looked at her in silence for a long while before he opened his mouth: "My heart has been expressed to you repeatedly."

"But the reason you put forward - about appearance and family assets, I'm sorry I can't accept it."

"Everyone has the love of beauty, and you can't discriminate against me just because of my appearance." Simu's usually calm and pleasant voice, for some reason, even carried a trace of grievance.

"Besides, other extraneous things are not my fault. It's all my friends who are too capable and make the company bigger and bigger."

"But if you don't like it, I can also sell them the shares and use the money to do charity."

Hearing these words, Tao Le was both angry and funny.

Those reasons that were just spoken casually are really difficult to stand up to scrutiny.

And regarding the resale of Mio Technology's shares, it doesn't matter who owns the shares.

She was about to come up with a few new excuses that were both reliable and lofty, when she heard Sim's next words.

"You have feelings for me."

What he said was not a question or a set question, but a straightforward affirmation.

"I'm not, how could I, don't talk nonsense!" Tao Le jumped up from the raft, swayed, and was about to fall into the sea.

Sim rushed forward with one stride and pulled her into his arms.

"No, you have." He said conclusively: "When you are with me, especially when there are intimate movements, your heartbeat and blood flow speed up."

"You are a doctor, it should be very clear that this is the result of the combined action of dopamine and norepinephrine."

"As for the reasons for their generation, I don't need to say more, do I?"
