Chapter 832: 615 The bright moon is born upon the sea

"Sigh..."

The waves, tireless as ever, continuously rolled and crashed against the shore, stirring up the black sand and gravel.

Sand is typically brown, but here, it was a rare black.

Yes.

This was Haojiang’s Black Sand Beach, named for its unique sand and rocks.

Because it was so remote, even tourists rarely visited, but from this beach, one could appreciate a fine view of that splendid bridge.

Under the dim starlight, with his back to the brilliant lights of Casino City, Jiang Chen stood on a higher ground, holding a bag of canned beer in his hand.

Others came to Haojiang for gambling and women, but he took a different path, a lone traveler.

Haojiang was really too small, so much so that after spending two days, he had nearly visited all the tourist spots, and even if he were to head home now, it could be considered a worthwhile trip.

Jiang Chen picked up a can and took a sip of beer.

The drink was ice-cold.

Refreshing enough to send a chill through one’s body.

Above the expansive sea, there was an endless red bridge, and higher up, the full moon hung in the sky.

It was hard to imagine that the glitzy East’s Casino City also had such a quiet and beautiful side.

At such times, what was missing was only a like-minded friend to drink with.

He should have brought Luo Peng.

Jiang Chen sighed.

Just as he was drinking and enjoying the majestic view, a figure suddenly entered his line of sight.

On the edge of the black sand beach, a person had appeared, or perhaps not just appeared, but had been there all along; he had simply not noticed her before.

It seemed to be a woman.

Her beautiful black hair fluttered in the wind, and her silhouette was quite tall.

Jiang Chen subconsciously glanced around and saw that she was alone.

He was unsure about the safety conditions in Haojiang, but in a city underpinned by gambling, it was certainly not very peaceful.

Moreover, it wasn’t daytime; a woman alone in such a remote place at night entirely defied reason.

Jiang Chen instinctively felt something was off, so while drinking, he observed the woman.

After a short while, the woman, whose back he could only see, no longer lingered by the sea but began to walk into it.

Her footprints spread step by step forward.

"Splash..."

The water swallowed her footprints.

Then her high heels.

Yet, she didn’t seem to intend to stop.

Jiang Chen could no longer be a bystander; he couldn’t help but shout, "You can’t go any further! Be careful!"

Perhaps the noise of the waves was too loud, drowning out his voice; the woman remained indifferent, the seawater already above her ankles.

Today, Jiang Chen hardly labeled himself a good person, but to stand by and do nothing was still something he found difficult to do.

So, with the speed of a hundred-meter sprint, he immediately ran over and grabbed her wrist, "Miss, please calm down. Is there something troubling you..."

The woman was abruptly pulled around, her hair flying as she turned, allowing Jiang Chen to finally see her face clearly.

A straight nose.

Distinct facial features.

Deep-set eyes.

She looked like a mixed-race.

When Jiang Chen saw her face, he froze, not because of her beauty, but because he had seen this face before!

"It’s you?!"

Jiang Chen stopped mid-sentence, his expression one of astonishment; he had not expected the woman who appeared to be about to throw herself into the sea to be the same girl he had encountered at the Moon Well.

Seeing him, she must have been equally surprised.

Their eyes met.

The atmosphere suddenly quieted down.

Only the waves continued to crash.

Both their shoes and pant legs had been soaked.

"Let go."

It took a few seconds before the young woman from their second unexpected encounter spoke.

It was indeed her.

Jiang Chen also remembered her voice.

Jiang Chen let go of her hand, and in doing so, he couldn’t help but remark on how small Haojiang was.

Yet, during their last meeting, she had been full of life, even having a larger appetite than him, a man. How could it be that within just a few days, she was contemplating suicide?

"...Are you alright?"

In such situations, even towards a stranger, one would probably feel compelled to inquire out of concern, let alone when the person had helped him.

Moreover, Jiang Chen found it ironic that previously at Moon Well, it was she who had warned him to be careful of danger, and now, it was his turn to caution her.

Could it possibly be that there truly is a karma cycle in this world?

"Why are you here?"

Instead of answering, the woman countered with a question.

Jiang Chen was taken aback.

This didn’t quite sound like the tone of someone contemplating suicide.

Nevertheless, he explained quite naturally, "I came here to watch the sea."

Coming to the beach to watch the sea, there was nothing wrong with that.

But coming to Haojiang to watch the sea?

Jiang Chen didn’t think he was odd, and he continued, asking, "What happened to you?"

"I’m fine."

Fine?

Would someone fine think of walking into the sea?

With his preconceived notions, Jiang Chen didn’t even consider the possibility that he might have misunderstood and immediately suspected she might have lost money gambling.

After all, most people who came to Haojiang dreamt of overnight riches, and while such miracles did happen, there were far more tales of utter ruin.

While gamblers weren’t deserving of sympathy, even after only one encounter, Jiang Chen still thought this girl seemed rational and showed no interest in gambling, even disliking it.

He vividly remembered her advising him in the café against gambling.

If it wasn’t due to gambling, what else could it be?

Apart from gambling, Haojiang’s other notorious industry seemed only to be in serving pleasures of the flesh.

With this girl’s attributes, she would have more than enough to engage in seductive trades.

"What are you thinking about?"
