Feng Qi set foot on land again, stepping onto the beach.
Feeling the softness of the white sand beneath his feet, Feng Qi could no longer remember how many days he had spent swimming in the sea.
With both feet on the beach, he felt an inexplicable sense of unreality, as if the ground beneath him were too soft to support his weight.
