Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Li Xiao deeply felt the uncertainty and danger of this world, and he knew that he needed to be more cautious.So, after discussing with the boatman, he decided to temporarily abandon the plan to go deep into the coral reef and instead cruise on the sea.The boatman took Li Xiao around the coral reef, allowing him to see some beautiful marine life, including colorful fish schools, sea turtles, starfish and so on.Li Xiao even saw some wild dolphins jumping around as if greeting him.

"The marine life here is so beautiful!" Li Xiao said to the boatman.

"Yes, these sea creatures are treasures on our island," said the boatman.

"Do you locals like seafood very much?" Li Xiao asked.

"Yes, we like seafood very much. The seafood here is very fresh and tastes very good." The boatman replied.

"Then can I try it here?" Li Xiao asked.

"Of course. If you like seafood, you will like the seafood here," said the boatman.

After hearing what the boatman said, Li Xiao became even more excited. He decided to find a good restaurant on the island and try the local seafood.

Back on shore, Li Xiao found a restaurant that was highly regarded by the locals.He ordered local specialties, including grilled lobster, garlic prawns, flower armor and more.These dishes are fresh and delicious, and seasoned with local specialties, the taste is very unique.

"These dishes are very delicious!" Li Xiao picked up a piece of grilled lobster and put it in his mouth, exclaiming in admiration.

"Yes, our seafood here is very fresh and tastes very good." The waiter said.

"I really like it here, the marine life and local food here are very good." Li Xiao said.

"Thank you for your compliment. We welcome you to come again." The waiter replied with a smile.

Li Xiao was very happy when he heard this.He knew that this trip made him not only Li Xiao thank the captain for his praise, he said that this trip made him deeply experience the beauty and mystery of nature, and at the same time made him cherish life and health more.He told the captain that he would record the feelings and experiences of this trip and share them with more people.

The captain nodded, expressing that nature is a treasure worthy of our cherishing and protection, and hoped that Li Xiao could let more people understand and love nature through his own records and sharing.He also told Li Xiao that there are still many places worth exploring on Mangrove Island, and hoped that Li Xiao would come back next time and continue to discover more beauty and mystery.

It was already late when Li Xiao returned to the B&B, he felt very tired, but very happy.He returned to his room, opened the window, and the sea breeze blowing in made him feel a little cool.

He lay on the bed, recalling today's journey, his heart was filled with emotion.He realized that he was in this strange place, met many friendly people, saw many beautiful scenery, and felt the infinite possibilities of this world.

Suddenly, he heard noises in the corridor, so he got up and walked out of the room to see if something happened.

He went to the corridor and saw an old lady knocking at the door.He walked over and asked, "Hi, do you need help?"

The old lady turned around and saw Li Xiao, she smiled and said, "No, thank you. I was knocking on the door of my room, but I might have lost the key."

Hearing this, Li Xiao immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Let me try."

The old lady nodded and handed him the key.Li Xiao opened the door and let the old lady in.The old lady said very gratefully: "Thank you, young man, you are such a kind person."

Li Xiao replied with a smile: "You're welcome, this is what I should do."

The old lady entered the room, Li Xiao continued to walk a few steps, and returned to her room.He leaned against the wall, lost in thought.He realized that travel is not only about exploring beautiful scenery, but also about meeting strangers, sharing stories and feeling the beauty in life.

He took out his laptop and began to record today's experience.He wants to record these stories and feelings so that he can recall and share them in the future.He wrote for a long time, until he felt sleepy, turned off the computer, and lay down on the bed to sleep.

The next morning, it was already late when Li Xiao woke up, and he decided to take a day off to enjoy this beautiful island.He went to the beach and saw many people surfing, some people were fishing, and some people were playing on the beach.Li Xiao decided to relax on the beach and enjoy the beauty of this coastline.He lay on the beach for a while, watching the waves lapping gently on the sand, enjoying the peace and relaxation.

Suddenly, he heard someone talking next to him, he got up and took a look, and found a young girl sitting next to him.She smiled at him and started talking to him.

"Hello, my name is Sophie, where are you from?" the girl asked.

"I'm from China, my name is Li Xiao." Li Xiao replied.

"Wow, nice to meet you. How are you doing here?" Sophie asked.

"It's great, the scenery here is very beautiful, and the people are very friendly. How about you? How long have you been here?" Li Xiao asked.

"I grew up and grew up here, and I love everything here," Sophie replied.

The two continued to chat for a while, talking about the island's culture and cuisine.Sophie told Li Xiao some local snacks, and also recommended some restaurants they should try.Li Xiao thanked her for her suggestion and said that he would definitely try it.

While they were chatting, the sun was gradually rising and the weather was starting to get a little hot.Sophie looked at the sky and said, "It's getting hot, shall we go swimming in the water?"

Li Xiao nodded, he also felt very hot.The two came to the beach, took off their shoes, and walked into the sea.Li Xiao felt the cool sea water wrapping his body, making him feel very comfortable.

They had a very pleasant morning while swimming and chatting.After they finished swimming, Sophie invited Li Xiao to have lunch together, and Li Xiao readily agreed.

They found a comfortable position on the hill and sat there enjoying the sea breeze.Gradually, the sun began to set slowly towards the west.The sky became more and more red, and the sea began to turn golden yellow.The whole scenery seemed to be ignited, extremely gorgeous.

"It's so beautiful." Li Xiao sighed.

"Yeah, the sunset here is really beautiful." My friend was also attracted by the beautiful scenery.

They waited quietly on the hill until the sun had completely set and the whole sky had turned dark blue, and the sky with dots of stars was gradually revealed.

"I think our trip is really great." My friend said to Li Xiao, "Thank you for bringing me to this beautiful place."

"You're welcome, I'm also glad to be here with you." Li Xiao replied.

They looked at the night sky silently, enjoying this peaceful and beautiful moment.Gradually, the stars twinkled in the night sky, as if lighting up the whole world.The sound of the waves is constant, beating the beach wave after wave, making a pleasant sound.

"This is the most beautiful night since I came to Mangrove Island." Li Xiao said with emotion.
