Chapter 90 Alone on a Journey
Zhou Jinbei took a few photos, and then took a selfie before shouldering his backpack and heading down the mountain.
This year, the fifteen-year-old Zhou Jinbei looks very thin, giving the impression of malnourishment.
However, his physical constitution is actually not bad, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to cycle around the island. Considering the entire Qionghai, cycling around would cover a distance of more than a thousand kilometers, which most people simply cannot endure.
But Zhou Jinbei, with a knapsack on his back containing only a few changes of clothes, set out on the road directly.
Since he started his journey, he has already completed half of the distance. Along the way, he’s faced high temperatures, headwinds, uphill climbs, mosquitoes, bicycle tire blowouts, and even a typhoon. It’s been a truly arduous journey, enough to deeply worry Chen Haiyan.
Of course, during his travels, he also encountered many kind-hearted people, some were local residents, others were travelers driving cars.
Seeing Zhou Jinbei so young, they either invited him for a meal, bought him some drinks and snacks, or gave him money...
Apart from the first two options, Zhou Jinbei would decline the money.
"I am not a beggar; I am on an island-hopping trip," he would say.
Every time like this, his thoughtfulness would bring tears to Zhou Haiyan’s eyes.
She knew why her son chose to cycle around the island. It was all for a wish she had long ago. She had passed away nearly ten years ago, and to her surprise, her son still remembered.
