A shallow smile hangs on the innocent face, the fair skin is dyed with an orange halo under the sunset, the big eyes reveal a bit of pure agility, the long eyelashes are introverted, the flat golden beauty extends to both sides, the delicate nose is slightly towering, and the shallow flush bangs cover a red carving on the forehead.

"Nice to meet you, what would you like to have here?" asked Shao** elegantly.

"Excuse me, what does your ship offer for dinner?" said Ivas cautiously and politely.

The girl smiled, "Mr. Evas, we have a lot to offer on board. I think it's about us meeting the passengers' requirements, not the passengers choosing among the options we give. ”

"Any good proposals?"

"Here is our menu, you can take a look. Immediately, the maiden handed Evas a delicate pamphlet. With a simple glance, Evas saw the words "Recipes from all over the world" printed on the cover of the booklet.

Ivas flipped through a few pages, but was not interested, and chose a random page. That's it, thanks. Ivas spread out the recipe and respectfully handed it back to the girl.

"Starry Sky Swallow Wings?" the girl sighed, "no one has ordered this dish for a long time." ”

"Give it a try, I think it's a good name. ”

This was the first time they had met, and Fumitsuki, who had never been on land and left the Wave Boat, felt her heart throb, and for some reason she fell in love with the boy's beautiful eyes, which were as blue as the sea.

That night, a gentle sea breeze blew in my face. The sun sets in the sky, but the figure without the sun still leaves traces of what it once walked. The remaining light on the distant horizon was still shining in all directions, and the crescent moon that had long been hanging in the sky shone a little light. The beautiful blood-colored sea is dyed with a bleak blue, and the dreamlike reflection reflects the endless world. The swallow puffins, toot birds, and flaming cranes in the air all disappeared from view and blended into the silent night. Instead of scrambling to jump out of the water, the fish quietly dive back to the bottom of the ocean to roost. When the last bits of the sun's light fade into the far reaches of the horizon, the silence of the night follows. The sea breeze blowing from the west pushed the slender Wave Boat forward in the moonlight, like a long knife that cut through the fear of the night, splitting it in two. The wind-blown side of the ship is like white wings in the darkness, carrying the Wave Boat through the night.

Stars dot the night in the sky, and a gorgeous crescent moon casts a soft light that dots the beautiful ocean.

The boy's pupils, dyed red by the setting sun, dissipated the orange light and replaced it with a silvery-white glow moon.

"Sir. Long waiting. The girl apologized, "This is the starry sky swallow wing you wanted." ”

Ivas looked at the starry sky swallow on the table and asked, "Is this the star swallow wing?"

"Yes. ”

"But there's no swallow wings here?"

"Sir, starry sky swallow wings don't have to be swallow wings!"

Thinking of this, Wen Yue, who was standing on the deck of the Wave Boat, could no longer feel the cold brought by the icy seawater, and the fireplace hidden in her heart lit up.

She still remembers laughing at the time, "This dish is not made of swallow's wings, this dish is a famous dish from the tree country." This dish is made with stone bee candy, black wolfberry and ginger slices, and bluegrass. ”

"Then why is it called Starry Sky Swallow Wing?"

"Sir, a hundred years ago, a down-and-out merchant failed in business and passed by a small shop in Shuguo on his way home. The merchant hasn't been home for a long time, so he wants a piece of bird's nest from his hometown. But I didn't expect the conditions of the small shop to be simple, and there was no habit of eating bird's nest in the local area. But the owner of the shop had an idea, and reluctantly made a bird's nest with stone bee candy, black wolfberry, ginger slices, and bluegrass as raw materials. ”

"And then?" said Evas, setting the dishes.

Later, the down-and-out merchant praised the shopkeeper's dinner, because he found the warmth of his childhood home in this stone bee candy. So, the merchant said goodbye to the shopkeeper and returned to his hometown. ”

Years later, the merchant became a wealthy businessman after a successful business. When he passed by the small shop in Shuguo again, he recalled how difficult it was for him back then. So he entered the small shop, hoping to meet the owner of the shop. However, the owner died not long ago. The merchant was very melancholy and remembered that night when the sky was full of stars, so he named the dish 'Starry Sky Swallow Wing', in memory of the friend who had only one face. ”

"Because of the merchants, this dish became famous. From the surrounding area to the country of trees, and then from the country of trees to the world, this dish has been continuously improved over the past hundred years, and it has become the 'starry sky swallow wing' you see today."

"I see!" Ivas lamented, "I didn't expect there to be so many stories about this dish." ”

"Of course, every dish is a different culture. Every culture will have a different story and a different emotion. The same is true of people. ”

"yes. ”

"If nothing else, I'll leave. The girl said, "If you have anything to do in the future, go to the front desk of the restaurant." ”

Evas nodded, and suddenly he remembered something. So, he immediately asked the girl, "May I ask what your name is?"

"Wen Yue. The girl didn't look back and disappeared into the hallway of the restaurant, not wanting Ivas to see her red cheeks.

It was the second time they had met, and the spot had remained unchanged in the ship's dining room, and every night Moon would sit there alone, imagining Ivas sitting across from him for dinner.

The third and last meeting was at the Campo de la Campo d'Époisa at the bottom of the boat. Even though the Wave Ship was converted into a warship, Campo de' Fiori still existed on the fifth deck.

The square is not large, circular in shape, and has a diameter of almost twenty meters. In the center of the square is a small flower stand with a variety of colorful flowers: red and yellow azurensis, pink and purple leaves, white lily of the valley, deep purple cattlan, blue butterflies and green spring irises. The small flower bed resembles a dynasty of flowers, and the beautiful epic picture scroll is engraved in the interlaced colors. On the edge of the flower stand is a green belt made of green arrow grass, which surrounds the flower stand for a circle, showing the beauty of layers. The square is surrounded by a ring of colorful circular flower stands, which surround the central flower stand. The flowers in the circular rosette are blue and white pansies, which are joined together in contemplation and happiness to form a blue ring. The ground is paved with high and low bricks in a quaint style, and a kind of stability precipitated by the years emerges from it. Some quaint floor tiles are covered with green moss, and a few wild flowers and weeds emerge from the cracks in the floor tiles, interpreting the greatness of life. The statue square is also known as the hometown of memories and the port of glory, which is used to witness the history of the Wave Boat for 100 years. There are seven statues in the square, six of which surround the flower ribbon around the perimeter of the square, which occupies three-quarters of the area. They are the former captains of the Wave Ship and have made outstanding contributions to the Wave Ship. The rest of the area is reserved for future captains. One of the positions has already been engraved with the name of the current captain. There is one of the largest statues standing on the flower platform, which is Captain Hua Qian, the first captain of the Wave Steam, who led the entire crew of the Wave Ship to defeat the pirates of the Haihua Valley a hundred years ago and put an end to the sea disaster in the Blurred Ocean.

The statue of Hanasa stands on the small fountain of the flower platform, staring into the distance. The central flower bed is not tall, less than a meter, more than twice as tall as the surrounding flower stands. This young girl has won the respect and love of people all over the world, and even after a hundred years, her determined gaze and gentle appearance are still remembered. The statue of Captain Hanasa was created by Shi Buzhuan, a master carver of the Sand Kingdom. Hua Qian was dressed in a simple navy uniform, with long hair at waist level behind her back, and her eyes were full of glory and pride. Instead of countless medals hanging from her chest, she was the emblem of a tree nation and the coat of arms of the Union.

Don't forget the country, die on the battlefield.

The shallow flower at this moment is the look when looking at the shipwreck site before the Armageddon, which is beautiful and resolute. At that time, Hua Asa was just a young girl, but she did something that the whole world could not do. When the fleet is facing the most dangerous juncture, she is always at the forefront, and she proves with her actions that great practice does not lie in age and gender, but in a heart, a heart that is willing to challenge the world. The statue stands on the fountain, and in the gorgeous column of water, people can vaguely see the beautiful face of the flower shallow. She gripped the hilt of the Twilight Sword with both hands, the blade unsheathed, and stood on the deck with the scabbard, so resolute.

She is the person Wen Yue wants to be the most, a real hero.

Just as Wen Yue recalled the past of Hua Qian, the wind blew from the ventilation duct, and the red and yellow azur orchid, the pink purple beautiful leaf flower, the white lily of the valley, the dark purple cattelan flower, the blue butterfly language, the red green spring iris swayed gently, and the dark blue pansy sighed in praise in the moonlight and phosphorescence.

In front of the flower stand are countless flowers, withered and blooming. In front of the small platform is engraved a text written in the ancient tree Chinese: In this commemoration, Captain Hua Qian, a great hero.

When she was about to go forward to lay flowers, those eyes as deep as the sea reappeared. What a perplexing feeling, why her beating heart was so excited, and for the first time she was shaken when she should have belonged to the sea.

"Wen Yue?" Ivas asked in surprise, "Can't you sleep too?"

It was already past twelve o'clock.

She remembered shaking her head.

Put a beautiful bouquet of red wentolia on his chest with both hands, and gently walk to the small table in front of the flower stand, and the fragrance of sunflower is everywhere. She put down the flower she was holding lightly and politely placed it on the small table. Light blue midi skirts dance in the breeze, white crop tops agitate, and flowers bloom on floral shoes. Clasp your fingers together, bow your head, close your eyes, and mourn silently.

"Wenyue, why did you come to the boat, is it because you like the sea?" asked Ivas.

"This is my home, so I love my home, I love the sea," she replied, "and this ship is my faith, and she is my example." ”

"General Hanasa?"

"Yes, she is the greatest captain of all. ”

"How long have you been on the Wave Steamer?"

"Ten years. She put her hands together in front of her. She gracefully exited the flower stand and sat down beside a nearby statue, her eyes constantly fixed on the statue and the Twilight Sword in her hand.

"Ten years on this ship?"

"Yes, I haven't been off the boat for ten years. ”

"Haven't considered going back?"

"Where are you going?" she asked, looking at the statue of Hua Qian, inexplicably.

"Back to land. ”

She smiled and was silent for a long time, she never thought of giving up the Wave Boat. Finally, she replied, "Maybe one day, the Wave Boat wants to go back, and I should go back." ”

"Captain, where is your hometown?"

"Tree Country, Maple Leaf Harbor. A beautiful city with a panoramic view of the Holy Alliance's headquarters from the second deck of the Wave Wheelship. ”

"Tell us about your ideals! Everybody has ideals. Evas said.

"Become a person like Hanasa. Wen Yue smiled.

This is the last sentence she remembers ten years later, to become a person like Hua Qian-

Finally, on this rainy night, she stood on the deck of the Starlight-class battleship, facing the howling wind and the blow of the torrential rain, and when the lightning pierced the sky, she proved to the man that her dream had come true.

And he, like he made a promise on the Wave Boat ten years ago, "will wait for them with his sister until they all come back." This is home, home forever. ”

What disappears without a trace, cannot be touched, and cannot be recovered even with all your strength is time, and what is held in your hand, always to prove that you have lived and worked hard is a promise.

"Ten years have passed, you, haven't changed, I, and I'm still the same as before," Wen Yue smiled, as if Ivas was standing in front of him, "What I want to tell you is that the oath I once made will not change, not now, not in the future." The sea is my home, this is my home, I love my home, so I love the sea—one day, I will definitely become a hero like General Hanasa, who will be respected by the whole world, on the great sea, at the end of the world-"

Perhaps because of the change in wind direction, the heavy rain came to an abrupt end. The first mates hiding in the corridor ran over with umbrellas, they had never seen the captain's eyes suddenly look in love, and everyone was sure that the two people on Aiva Island must be inextricably linked to the captain just now, but none of them asked why, because they thought that the captain who had never been on land could not know the people of Aiva Island. The afterimage in the thunder and lightning may be an illusion, or it may be a mirage.

yes, how is that possible?

I only met three times, and it didn't take more than two hours before and after. It's just a ripple in life.

Under the dark clouds, the uncertain emotions in my heart dissipated like smoke. Perhaps people spend their whole lives looking for the door that others can't see, opening the door and seeing the tree behind the door, standing under the tree and picking up the stone. Ten years have passed, no matter how long it has passed, who can really open the door they want to pursue, and who can guarantee that the tree behind the door is the tree of the year, and the stones under the tree have not decayed?

Wen Yue smiled, and when the umbrella handed over by the first mate, she said softly: "Thank you!"

Then he left under the puzzled eyes of everyone.

The lieutenants looked at each other, and one of them muttered, "The rain has stopped—"

Looking at the corridor where the captain disappeared, another person said: "The captain's back is always so lonely, one person comes, one person leaves. ”

"Yes, she is a woman who yearns for the sea of stars in her eyes, and when she walks to the end of the world, everything is lonely, and she faces the whole world-"

In silence, everyone left. Soon after, the rain that had finally stopped, began to intensify again, and lightning struck around the fleet, and the turbulent sea rolled and the air was filled with deafening sounds.
