Guga Swam as Fast as a Speedboat

At dawn, Lin Yuan and the others headed for the beach. The sun had just leaped above the sea, dyeing sky and water warm gold. The sand left by the receding tide was fine, white, and damp. Waves washed in and drew back, leaving delicate white foam behind, while the sea breeze carried a salty tang and a chill.

"Woo-hoo! This is so much fun, Guga!"

"I didn't know either." Lin Yuan looked just as stunned. Then he came to his senses and shouted toward the sea, "Guga, don't swim too
