Su Yuxi looked at him with tears in her eyes, looking at this stupid boy who had run all night for her, just to find a necklace.

Even if she couldn't speak, this speechless and condensed feeling clearly told herself that Xu Zhengchen was a person she could rely on, although she didn't feel too much throbbing for him in her heart.

"You're too messy." He Xiao really sweated for him, but fortunately, there was nothing too big.

"I'm sorry to worry you." Xu Zhengchen moved his body leaning against the wall upward.

"Not next time."

He Xiao knew from the reactions of the two of them that the weight of this necklace in Su Yuxi's heart was not light.

What she didn't mind was that the person Su Yuxi told her first time was Xu Zhengchen, but that she didn't want to help find the necklace. Not only did it fail to come in handy at a critical time, but it also unexpectedly caused people trouble.

What she hates is such a cowardly and timid self, blindly persuading others not to make decisions, and asking others to stand by and watch.

Over the years, he is still a childish ghost who has not changed at all.

……

Su Yuxi gently tugged at the edge of He Xiao's shirt, intending to ask her to help convey the meaning of sign language.

"Xiaoxi asked you, where did you find the necklace?" He Xiao translated the sign language truthfully.

Xu Zhengchen returned the six-pointed star necklace to its original owner and replied, "Beach pergola." ”

"That's okay, I'll go back to my room to brush my teeth and wash my face first, you can also hurry back to your room and take a shower, and I'll gather downstairs later." After He Xiao finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the room.

"Where are you going?"

"Commercial street, you have to buy things early, otherwise you won't be out of stock."

"Spare me, I'm really sleepy, ha~" Xu Zhengchen yawned a few times in succession, and he was so sleep-deprived that he could fall asleep with a pillow.

……

B&B ground floor, courtyard.

Jiang Yizhe held Mia's SLR camera and kept taking pictures of He Xiao and Su Yuxi.

"Take a long ride home tomorrow morning." Lin Jiahan by the window was holding a phone in her hand, and the person she was chatting with was her mother, "Well, with acquaintances." ”

Creak.

"Really, where did that guy go?" Mia, who came back from outside the B&B, pushed open the door bar and walked all the way towards the courtyard, "Have you seen Xiaowen?" ”

"Xiaowen?" He Xiao read the name again in confusion, obviously, she didn't know anything about it.

Mia measured her height with her hand on her chin: "It's probably such a tall girl with a tear mole on the right side of her face." ”

"I don't have any impressions...... Jiang Yizhe stopped shooting.

Xiaowen in Mia's mouth is her sister, not very old, only fourteen or fifteen years old, likes to go out to play around the shopping street, and recently met a boyfriend who has never met.

Originally, Mia was still pulling her ears and asked her to stay at the B&B to clean up, but she didn't pay attention and sneaked out of the house again.

"We're also going to go shopping on the street." Jiang Yizhe said, "I'll help you find Xiaowen then." ”

"Well, if you see her, remember to call me and let me know."

"I've kept you waiting." There was a weak sound in the lobby of the B&B, and after a while, Xu Zhengchen walked out of the first floor slowly.

Mall.

Perhaps because of the fireworks festival, the town's shopping streets are decorated with a variety of posters. Enthusiastic vendors are shouting, and fireworks festival staff are doing their best to distribute flyers for the event.

Although there are not many tourists in the shopping street early in the morning, you can still feel the lively atmosphere before the opening of the festival.

"It's so big and large......" Xu Zhengchen looked around expectantly, and the scene was exaggerated.

"Haha, after all, they are professionals, they must be much better than us."

People walk through the crowd and wander through the dazzling array of vendors and merchants.

Suddenly, Xu Zhengchen stopped at a small stall.

It was a photo studio with a small footprint, and above the door hung a shop sign with red letters on a yellow background, and in the middle of the sign was written "Inscription Photo Studio" in five conspicuous characters.

The store seems to have undergone decades of personnel changes, revealing a sense of age with a long aftertaste, which is similar to the surrounding stores.

Beneath the raised roller shutter doors stand two glass doors, and inside the doors are displayed several delicate white picture frames, just like those on the counters of the restaurants.

Xu Zhengchen took out his mobile phone and temporarily wanted to browse the call history, but the phone still looked like a black screen.

"Forgot to charge ......"

"Nerd." Jiang Yizhe's voice came from the front.

"Ah, here we are."

July 4, 2023, by the beach.

Fireworks Festival.

"Are you ready, I'm going to shoot." The young man who helped shoot pointed the lens of the camera at the five people and reminded.

"It's time to shoot." Jiang Yizhe made an OK gesture.

"Three, two, one, eggplant!"

Click.

The young man pressed the shutter of the camera, and a crisp sound accompanied by a flash of white light froze the beautiful picture of five people in the same frame.

"Thank you." Jiang Yizhe took the camera handed back by the young man, "You come over to see the effect of the photo, if it's okay, I'll go back to the photo studio and wash out the photo." ”

Xu Zhengchen leaned his face closer to the camera's display, and the most outstanding temperament among the five people was Su Yuxi in the middle.

In the photo, she is smiling in a Korean-style white chiffon shirt with an indigo bow at the neckline, simple and exquisite flared cuffs on both sides, high-waisted white strappy denim shorts, pink Converse lace shoes, and a pair of snow-white slender legs under the cool outfit.

"It's so pretty......"

"If I were Xiaoxi, I would definitely dislike the speech of your straight man."

"I can't think of any other words."

"This is what Sister Mia helped me dress." Su Yuxi smiled and made sign language.

The crowd of people who came to watch the fireworks packed the entire venue, and the noise of gossip continued.

"Hey, that's it." Jiang Yizhe and Xu Zhengchen pulled out the picnic mats on both sides and spread them flat on the sandy ground, "You two can sit here later, I also laid one over there." ”

Jiang Yizhe was referring to him and Su Yuxi.

"There are so many people watching the fireworks, and there is no place to sit around." Xu Zhengchen wiped the sweat droplets from his forehead with his hands.

"Let's go, let's go over there and play board games." Jiang Yizhe took He Xiao's hand and walked forward.

"Eh, what should I do then?" Lin Jiahan asked aggrievedly.

"Jiahan come along." He Xiao pulled her up.

Bang –

A beam of fireworks burst into the night sky, and suddenly a grand light illuminates the entire beach, and the sound of blooming and scattered fires gradually subside, and finally calm down.

Shortly after the large-scale fireworks to announce the opening of the ceremony, a series of small fireworks were set off.

Xu Zhengchen and Su Yuxi were very close to each other, and the girl's eyes looking at the fireworks in the night sky were full of smiles, clear and bright as if they touched people's hearts.

Under the light of the fireworks, the girl's cherry red lips make people can't help but want to kiss Fang Ze, and the sweet smile on the side face dwarfs the night view of the beach and even everyone else.

The ignorant longing was about to boil, and this feeling tugged at his heartstrings.

"What's wrong?" Su Yuxi blinked her eyelashes in confusion.

Xu Zhengchen smiled to hide his embarrassment: "Are you thirsty?" I'll pour you a glass of juice. ”

"The bread is gone, I'll go to the convenience store and buy some back." Su Yuxi sent a text message to his phone.

"You want me to ...... Accompanying you? ”

"It's okay, I can do it alone."

Su Yuxi left the table and walked into the crowd.

For some reason, an inexplicable joy rose in Xu Zhengchen's heart.

The girl changed herself, albeit only slightly, but she seemed to be expecting something else.

A cluster of buds called throbbing buds ushered in the flowering period.

Although he didn't know what the future would hold, as long as she was there, he might be able to do anything, including the unbearable dream that had long been abandoned......
