Chapter 52: Look at the Sea
The sun is sinking in the west, and layers of fiery clouds are rolling up in the sky, indicating that the next sunny day is coming. The three of them, who had been playing all day, embarked on the way back.
Yuen Long, who was sitting in the back seat, his face flushed, his sweat-soaked hair sticking to his forehead, he raised his head in disregard, and drank water with a clatter.
Today is really a day of destruction and rebirth for him, and the place that he hated the most has now miraculously become the place he hates the most.
He scratched his head and wondered why ice cream was so good, it wasn't as sweet as it looked, it could be varied, it could be sour, it could be bitter, and the last thing was ......
Thinking of this, he unconsciously moved his gaze to the front row, Yao Zhixia has been silent since he got into the car, while Xue Rin was concentrating on driving, and he didn't say a word about the chance encounter just now, the two seemed to have reached a strange tacit understanding, which made Yuen Long a little confused.
"Xue Rin. "The quiet atmosphere was suddenly broken.
"I'm here. ā
"I ...... Actually, there are some words ......"
Yao Zhixia felt that she had never wanted Xue Rin to know her better like she did now, and the memories of her previous life seemed to weigh a thousand pounds to her, but she suddenly and selfishly wanted to hand it over to him.
"Yao Zhixia, let's go see the sea. ā
----
An hour later, they arrived at Sunny Sky Harbor, but before coming, Xue Rin went home to pick up Peng Peng and Ding Man, who were bored at home.
As soon as he got out of the car, the wind blowing from the sea made Yao Zhixia shiver, and in the next second, a wide long windbreaker was draped on his constricted back.
She turned her head in surprise, only to see Xue Rin's face ten centimeters above her head, his eyes lowered, and he was concentrating on wrapping her thin body with a trench coat.
After making sure that she would not be blown by the wind, Xue Rin stood behind her, a large hand lightly on her waist, and led her forward.
Yuen Long followed behind them with the well-behaved Timon in his arms, while Pomp Phong followed Yuen Long at Yuen Long's feet like a loyal knight.
This port is not the most lively harbor in City A, and there are only a few couples snuggling up to each corner on the beach at this time, quietly looking at the distance where the sea and sky are already colorful.
No one knew what they were looking at, but through their gaze, it was as if the most beautiful scenery in the world was shining before their eyes, and they whispered in each other's ears from time to time, and then looked at each other and smiled, as if sharing little secrets that only the two of them knew.
"Let's sit here!" Xue Rin clasped his palm inward, prompting Yao Zhixia to stop.
Yao Zhixia was afraid that she would stain her windbreaker when she sat down, so she reached out to take off her windbreaker, but Xue Rin on the side immediately held her hand and pressed her directly to the beach.
"Don't move. ā
Xue Rin himself sat down, he glanced back, and saw that Yuen Long was already sitting a few meters away from the two of them, carefully observing the somewhat restrained Ding Man, while Peng Peng was running around him excitedly.
"Don't you let Yuen Long come over?" Yao Zhixia was a little uneasy.
"He'd love to be alone for a while. ā
Xue Rin is a hundred reassuring of Yuen Long, he is a child who can read people's hearts, in Xue Rin's opinion, what is the current situation, Yuen Long may be clearer than Yao Zhixia in front of him.
Xue Rin turned around, casually picked up a small pebble at his feet and threw it into the sea, and when the pebble disappeared into the water waves, Yao Zhixia opened his mouth.
"Xue Rin, actually, I have one thing I really want to tell you. ā
"Yao Zhixia, actually, I also have one thing that I want to tell you. ā
"Then ......" Yao Zhixia hesitated.
"You say it first, ladies first. Xue Rin spoke easily.
"Well, Xue Rin, I don't know if you remember, when we were stranded on the island before, I once mentioned to you that after graduating from high school, before I came here to work, I used to work in City B for a few years. Yao Zhixia plucked up the courage to start talking, and couldn't help but tighten the windbreaker a little tighter.
"Well, I remember. Xue Rin lowered his eyes and couldn't help but look at Yao Zhixia's hand holding the windbreaker.
"At the time, I was working in a garment factory, and the director of that factory more than once hinted at me verbally that he wanted me to be his ...... I refused, so he followed me while I went to the tool room to tidy up, thinking ......"
The more Yao Zhixia spoke, the more excited she became, and even her body trembled, and the pictures that once kept her awake all day and all night became clear again.
Xue Rin took Yao Zhixia into his arms, kept stroking her hair, and repeated in her ear: "We don't want to, we don't want to." ā
Yao Zhixia closed her eyes in pain, her usual reason and sense of proportion were all thrown aside by her, and at this time she just wanted to greedily absorb the warmth and security brought to her by this embrace.
"Xue Rin, I'm sorry, I never dared to mention this to you before, I ......"
"Yao Zhixia, can you stop saying the words 'I'm sorry' to me again!"
Xue Rin roared loudly, his hands tightly clutching her tear-soaked cheeks, staring at her closed eyes with burning eyes.
"Open your eyes! Open the for me!" Xue Rin shouted angrily at Yao Zhixia.
Yao Zhixia, who was drowned in tears, could barely breathe, she opened her eyes with difficulty and looked at him helplessly, but the angry and hysterical Xue Rin in front of her made her feel so strange.
Xue Rin gritted his teeth hard, and there were distinct green tendons floating on his neck, and he stared at Yao Zhixia intently, slowly wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with his thumb.
"Yao Zhixia, when will you understand! What do you mean to me?"
Xue Rin said, suddenly feeling that his chest hurt so much, he would never believe that the pain and torture he suffered in his heart would turn into physical pain.
In the sound of the rising and falling of the sea, he clearly heard the sound of his strong heartbeat and the cry that had been suppressed for a long time but could no longer be restrained at this time.
"Xue Rin......" Yao Zhixia's mind went blank, and she unconsciously muttered the only two words that could come out of her mouth.
"Yao Zhixia, what I tell you now, I will only say it once in my life," Xue Rin paused, "When you were on the island, you once said that the person who would make you worry about it is the person who will not be able to live the second half of your life without you, and I am very sure that without you, I will not be able to live the second half of my life, Yao Zhixia, my life will be yours long ago." ā
Tears poured out like a flood, Yao Zhixia's eyes blurred again, she couldn't even tell whether he was real or hallucinatory in front of her, and even his voice became distant.
"But I'm ...... A person like me is not worthy of ...... after all" Yao Zhixia couldn't face the hot eyes in front of her when she thought of her broken past.
"Okay, you can tell me what kind of person you are!" Xue Rin asked sharply.
"IāI'm a few years older than you......"
"You still know that you were born four years before me, why don't you hurry up and make amends! Yao Zhixia, do you know! This is what you owe me! You owe me four years!"
"You Mingming, obviously you can have a better choice, you are so good, only a girl as good as you can be worthy of you!"
"You know that I'm excellent, don't hurry up and trap me!I'm very sought-after!The little girl is very fierce now!You still don't know how to protect me well, be careful that you will be taken away by other she-wolves one day!" Xue Rin said and pinched Yao Zhixia's face fiercely with his hand.
"But you know, my background ......" Yao Zhixia lowered her head, the huge difference in identity was always the reason why she felt inferior in front of Xue Rin.
"Background? What background do you have? You are innocent, and you are not a daughter of the underworld, what do I have to fear? I have a background, but that's all the credit of my father, my education is all based on my father's charity, and I'm afraid of people laughing when I say it, I learned to fight and pick up girls when I was in high school, and I've never been serious about any girl before, so to put it this way, or I'm not worthy of you, I used to be an out-and-out scumbag, like this, are you willing to accept it?"
Yao Zhixia was confused by Xue Rin's series of questions, and she didn't know how to refute it for a while, she grabbed the windbreaker on her body at a loss, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
Xue Rin sighed, stretched out his arms and hugged Yao Zhixia in his arms, he closed his eyes relaxedly, and sniffed the fragrance of Yao Zhixia's hair comfortably.
There was a warm breath above her head, Yao Zhixia's consciousness gradually dissipated, she no longer struggled, no longer escaped, she let go of the trench coat with both hands, and slowly surrounded Xue Rin along his back and abdomen.
When she finally mustered up the courage to close her red and swollen eyes, Xue Rin's gentle whisper came from her ears.
"Yao Zhixia, thank you for picking up my life, if I die, I will miss you forever in this life. ā
Time passed quietly, the sky gradually darkened, the never-ending waves still chased each other, the lights on the shore lit up, and the figures gradually dispersed.
Yuen Long fell asleep sweetly on his fluffy belly, covered with the wide trench coat, and the owner of the trench coat turned into a warm and thick coat, wrapping the person on the tip of his heart tightly in his arms.
