Chapter 8: Distraction

I stroked my rumbling belly and obediently followed him to eat.

It was because he said that he wanted to see the sea, Shen Baichuan didn't say a word, borrowed a car, and led me to Jiangdong District by car, which is called "scattered".

Although I thought it would disturb him a little too much, but seeing his enthusiasm and preparation, I still couldn't bear to brush off his kindness.

"Are you really okay at work?"

"I've been working hard for more than half a year, and it's time to take a vacation for myself." Shen Baichuan winked mischievously at me.

The car soon drove into Jiangdong District, Shen Baichuan drove bored, looked sideways at me who was asleep with my hat covering my face, reached out and pressed the stereo on, and the volume was also lowered.

What was playing was a song with a very brisk rhythm, which had already been put in the middle section, Shen Baichuan listened to two sentences, and when he heard what song it was, he smiled a little on his face, and his fingers tapped the rhythm on the steering wheel.

I slowly woke up to the sound of brisk music. Still a little confused, he pulled off his hat and asked? Shen Baichuan hummed a song and looked out of the car window, "It's almost over." ”

It's really fast, and you can see the blue coastline from afar.

It was the first time I saw the boundless sea, and my mind was confused, and the whole person slowly closed the window pane, staring at the blue in the distance.

Shen Baichuan turned the car around and was about to park in an open space, the car was not stable, I couldn't wait to quickly unbuckle the seat belt and press the door, if Shen Baichuan hadn't stopped in time, I would have been able to throw out the car that was still moving.

By the time I had run to the beach, I threw my shoes aside, jumping and jumping in the soft sand as if acting, and howling in the sea breeze several times, "Ah!!!!!! O sea!!!! ”

Shen Baichuan, who was wearing sunglasses, walked slowly from the parking place with a big black umbrella. At this time, it was not early, and there was no shadow of the sun, only the clouds overhead, which seemed to be able to be pressed down immediately.

Shen Baichuan came over and picked up one shoe for me to the east, and another shoe to the west, and put it in the sand. When I took off my shoes and looked up at me again, I was not so crazy, I was walking on the gentle waves with my head buried.

The sea breeze was strong, and his unbuttoned white shirt was flipped back, outlining the curves of his body.

Shen Baichuan held the umbrella and watched it for a long time, until I finally remembered something and turned around and waved at him, Shen Baichuan smiled and stretched out his hand to him and hooked his fingers.

I stood still, my hair blown to one side by the sea breeze.

Shen Baichuan pursed his lips, didn't let me come over again, looked down into the sand, and picked up a few beautiful shells.

The shell picked up the third one, but I came barefoot, his thighs were wet from the thighs, and his hair was also blown messy by the wind, but it just couldn't stop him from being happy, both eyes were bright, and before he could get completely closer, he showed Shen Baichuan what was in his hand, it was a sea crab.

Shen Baichuan couldn't stand the light in my eyes a little, and lowered his gaze. When I got closer, I was about to throw the sea crab into Shen Baichuan's collar. Shen Baichuan turned sideways to avoid it, and by the way, his big hand spread out in front of my eyes, and there were three tightly closed shells lying in his palm. "I'll change it with you," Shen Baichuan said with a smile.

"Don't do it!" I also smiled, grabbing the sea crab with one hand and the shell in Shen Baichuan's hand with the other, "It's all mine, I want it!" Unexpectedly, Shen Baichuan, who had always followed him, did not let go, and clutched the shell in his hand tightly, "Do you guess there are pearls in it?" ”

I was stunned when I asked him, he didn't know what the shells with pearls would look like, but thinking about it with his brain, he also knew that this beach would not be full of shells with pearls, so he raised his eyebrows: "Absolutely not!" ”

Shen Baichuan also raised his eyebrows, "What if you really say it?" ”

I hate to be provoked by Shen Baichuan's words, thinking that you can still turn me into pearls empty-handed on such a desolate beach! He put his neck around and said, "If anything is really up to you!" If you don't, you'll have to listen to me for everything today! Bet? β€œ

Unexpectedly, Shen Baichuan immediately repented, raised his hand and threw the shell far away, "Don't bet, it's really not!" ”

I laughed directly, and when I got started, I grabbed Shen Baichuan's arm to take the sea crab and stung him: "You don't come to this set, it's not bad!" ”

Shen Baichuan didn't hide, just looked down at him and smiled: "Don't bet this with me, I really know what kind of shell has pearls in it." ”

I provoked him: "Okay, you can pick one up and I'll see!" ”

Shen Baichuan pulled his hand down and walked forward, "Okay, go to the back beach to try, there are few people over there." ”

I led him forward, and a pair of big eyes glared at his face: "You are quite familiar with this piece?" ”

"I used to be in middle school, but it hasn't changed much." Shen Baichuan was stunned by a stone under his feet, and lowered his head to look.

But I suddenly became interested: "When you were in middle school? Twenty or thirty years ago? ”

Shen Baichuan didn't look at me either, "You are young, but I am not that old." ”

After thinking about it, he was also a little emotional, so he lowered his head and let out a long breath, "But it's been almost ten years." ”

The sky slowly darkened, the sea breeze was quite strong, blowing Shen Baichuan's black umbrella whirring, and Shen Baichuan said slowly in his ear, "When I was very young, my parents sent me to go to school abroad, so young, I was really willing." ”

"Listening to the locals, picking up pearled shells by the sea makes all your wishes come true. So I picked up shells whenever I had free time. Later, when I grew up, I believed in these things more than I did. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Baichuan turned his face and glanced at me, and the two of them collided, and the smile on Shen Baichuan's lips became a little bigger. He's always smiling today, but I don't know if he's really in that good mood. ”

He handed me a shell.

I clutched what I was holding and looked at him stunned, "...... Don't be sad. ”

Shen Baichuan tilted his head, "Won't you open it and take a look?" ”

I took a deep look at him, and then I pried open the small shell in my hand with a wooden faceβ€”I didn't expect it to be empty. Probably because his expression was too surprised to control it for a while, so Shen Baichuan, who had been watching him silently, laughed lowly. The big hand reached over and plucked the shell from his hand, turned around and threw it far away in the direction of the sea.

He turned so fast that the corners of his clothes that were lifted by the wind brushed my surprised face. With the help of the wind, the shell was blown far away, and when it fell into the sea, it didn't even have time to make a ripple, like a living hope, but it was instantly lost by the water.

"Come with me tomorrow to watch the sunrise."

The next day, I was woken up in my sleep.

The movements were not very gentle, but the voice was as calm as water.

"Chen Nuan, let's go see the sunrise."

I frowned, opened my eyes a slit, first looked at Shen Baichuan beside the bed, and then looked out the window.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's dark in the middle of the night......"

"Nonsense, where can I watch the sun go out at dawn."

Seeing that I closed my eyes and was about to fall asleep again, Shen Baichuan directly reached out to pull it. I'm a little on fire.

"Don't drag! I'm not going! See for yourself. ”

Behind him, Shen Baichuan was silent for a long time before he said again: "Go." ”

"I'm going to sleep." Shen Baichuan had no choice but to insist: "Then I'll go by myself." ”

"Hmm." The feeling of being let go made me immediately relax, humming the sound and falling asleep again.

But in the dream, it is not steady. Finally struggled to wake up.

But sometimes that's the case, when you wake up from a nightmareβ€”clearly waking up, clearly knowing that it was just a dreamβ€”you still can't ease the horror.

I stood by the window and watched for a while. Shen Baichuan sat quietly on the beach, such a tall man now looked like a boring old man.

He actually didn't understand why Shen Baichuan was so interested in watching the sunrise.

I turned around and got dressed and washed up, and came to the beach.

Shen Baichuan turned his head to look at me: "Slept enough?" ”

"I didn't ...... It's not even seven o'clock, how can I sleep enough. ”

"What's going on then?"

I sat down on the beach, next to him, "I woke up." ”

Mr. Shen seemed to be in a good mood and laughed out loud.

"I'm in such a good mood when I watched the sunrise."

At this time, the sun is completely exposed to the sea level, and the light is not scorching.

"Actually, it's not very happy."

Shen Baichuan said, and took out a cigarette to light it at a special time, but I took it away and played with it in my hand.

Then he took a cigarette and scratched the sand haphazardly.

Shen Baichuan helplessly clutched the empty cigarette box into a ball.

"What's upset about that? Speak up and let-"

"Make you happy?" Shen Baichuan knew my urine very well and took the conversation.

I laughed.

"I just watched the sunrise, and the whole beach was on my own." Shen Baichuan looked at the big sun and said, "I thought that there should be two people standing here. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That's right. I glanced at him, and saw that the man seemed to be speaking very seriously about his unhappiness, and lowered his head in a sloppy manner, and I did not reply. Bored, he took the cigarette apart, and the finely chopped tobacco leaves melted into the sand.

Shen Baichuan looked at his quiet side face - he didn't smile again.

He reached over and pulled the man's chin: "Give my brother a smile." ”

I blinked at him. The eyes are very innocent, and the exit is very immoral.

"Laugh at your uncle!"

Shen Baichuan smiled. I was confused, but I heard Shen Baichuan suddenly open his mouth again.

"I always seem to make you unhappy. But I like to see you laugh and I don't want you to be unhappy. ”

I was stupid to hear. Seeing that the man was talking very seriously, he felt panicked in his heart, and felt that Shen Baichuan might really have something in his heart.

"I've only seen you a few times, but I don't care if you care."

"Maybe I'm too beautiful."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Be serious. ”

"Okay."

Speaking again, Shen Baichuan also seemed a little awkward.

"Just now, I have been struggling in my heart."

"What's wrong?"

"I wanted you to accompany me to watch the sunrise, and I wanted you to sleep a little longer."

"Then I relented and let you go back to sleep. When I come here and wait for the sunrise, I feel like I should come with you. ”
