Chapter 330: Chapter 248 Little Surprise_1

Seeing that Feng Yi agreed with his view, the engineer was very happy.

"Mythical serpents and such might have been possible in prehistoric times, but in modern days, that’s just nonsense, stories that get distorted and turned into rumors. I’m a very rational person, I’ve debunked more myths than the roads I’ve walked on. Ah, but when it comes to legends shared among the natives of some exotic island, I don’t bother arguing with them."

"Why not?" Feng Yi asked.

"Easy to get beaten up."

"...A wise choice."

"Hahaha, can’t be stubborn, right? Lots of small island nations were cannibalistic long ago. Besides, mysterious rumors are also part of the local culture, they add a bit of fun to the journey too."

Noticing the shopping bags in Feng Yi’s hand, the engineer asked, "Are you buying gifts?"

"Yeah, I’m getting ready to head back, just picking up some small souvenirs. Do you have any recommendations?"

"Sure do, I’ve been here for several days now. With these local trinkets, there’s a lot to know – the materials, craftsmanship, prices, and so on can vary a lot. There’s a good shop ahead, wanna check it out?"

"Sure."

"Oh, I’m filming a vlog, do you mind being on camera?"

"No problem, go ahead and record."

The engineer didn’t think much of it; after all, Feng Yi was still wearing a hat and sunglasses, so he wouldn’t be recognizable on video.

With guidance from someone experienced, Feng Yi shopped efficiently and ended up with quite a few bags, both big and small. He even purchased a few bulkier handicrafts that were inconvenient to carry, which he paid the shop owner to deliver directly to the airport for someone to receive. The assorted smaller items he decided to carry with him.

He hadn’t intended to buy so much, but as he browsed the shops and stalls, Feng Yi found some trinkets adorned with local legends, such as a "giant serpent" tail supposedly seen above the water.

Feng Yi found it amusing and wondered what his ancestors might have thought about these stories.

To show his gratitude, Feng Yi also treated the engineer to a meal at a local-style restaurant recommended by him. The place was small and hadn’t been open long; it wasn’t as famous as some of the older restaurants, and it didn’t have many reviews online. Most tourists from other places didn’t know about it, but the food tasted good and the ingredients appeared fresh and clean.

"Do you need help with that? I could find someone to assist with your luggage," the engineer offered.

"No need, I can handle it. I’ll just take a cab straight to the airport; I have friends waiting there."

"That’s good. What time is your flight? With so much stuff, you’ll need to go to the airport early to sort it out, and figure out what can go on the plane and what needs to be checked in."

"Mmm, I’ve got some friends at the airport who will help out. Thanks!" Feng Yi didn’t elaborate.

"Hope we meet again!"

After Feng Yi left in the taxi, the engineer continued recording his vlog on his phone.

After walking for a while, he remembered something.

He checked the flight schedule on his phone.

As expected...

There were no flights back to the country today!

Could it be a connecting flight? First to another place and then back home?

Shaking his head, he didn’t dwell on it; it was just a passing encounter with an ordinary traveler during a life journey.

Like writing in a diary, he mentioned the young tourist in his vlog, along with today’s events, and uploaded the edited footage online after he got home.

Meanwhile, Feng Yi arrived at the airport, where the manor’s staff had already taken care of the various items. The boarding process was straightforward, and he quickly boarded the plane to begin his journey home.

Feng Yi’s clothes had gotten dirty from the day’s shopping and dining, so he took a quick shower on the plane and changed clothes.

After several hours of flight, he was back in Yang City.

Unlike when he left, he had to go through the quarantine area upon return for inspection before entering the country.

But it didn’t take much time.

After a brief rest and a full meal at home, Feng Yi didn’t have much time to pay attention to other things, as he quickly returned to his task team, which had been inquiring about him multiple times.

Online, after the engineer uploaded his vlog, some sharp-eyed netizens quickly identified the "passing tourist" and even posted comparison pictures.

[Come on, tell us! Isn’t this tourist Brother Se? [Photo]]

[He looks similar, and the voice is even more telling, I think it’s him!]

[You met an internet celebrity, blogger!]

[Really curious what it’s like to bump into celebrities while traveling]

[Next vacation, I need to keep my eyes peeled, maybe I’ll spot a star]

[My favorite star has an event in a city next week, planning to ’casually’ bump into them]

[I prefer the thrill of a random encounter]

[I’m dying laughing, I can’t even leave my house!]

People’s emotions do not always resonate with one another.

Some are out there, battling the winds and waves, amidst mountains, rivers, grass, and flowers.

Others stay home enduringly on watch, working, studying, cooking, exercising.

Just as the original topic was about to split off, suddenly a netizen posted a photo.

[Today at the airport’s executive jet quarantine area, saw a person who might be Brother Se! [Photo]]

[His outfit has changed, but the timing fits, and the figure, as well as those sunglasses... it’s very likely him!]

[Emphasis on ’executive jet’]

[So, is it really him?]

There were too many points to discuss, and marketers started to milk the traffic.

With the buzz growing, views on the engineer’s vlog skyrocketed, and people privately messaged the engineer asking if he had more videos of Feng Yi, thinking there might be more details to discover.

The vlogging engineer himself was bewildered, busy talking to a local elder about native legends when a friend called to tell him his video had gone viral!

Brother Se?
