But she didn't take Rong Kai's warning too seriously.
'I'll just play it by ear.' Besides, it wasn't the first time she'd faced the unknown alone.
She took a deep breath and turned toward the sea.
Barefoot, her feet sank slightly into the soft sand with every step.
Wave after wave rolled in, lapping gently against her calves.
Chu Jing suddenly felt her mood lighten.
She bent down, playfully kicking at the water with her toes, then broke into a run along the beach.
She only stopped, smiling, when her breathing grew ragged and a fine sheen of sweat had formed on her brow.
Finding a flat reef rock, she leaned back and lay down completely.
Clouds drifted slowly overhead, reminding her of an afternoon in a distant city from her memories.
She hadn't had a single day to properly relax since arriving in this world.
Every day was spent racking her brain, just trying to figure out how to survive.
Now, she had finally found this relatively safe seaside camp.
