Chapter 10: Embracing the Sea
"Hey, you two, it's too much, in broad daylight, men and women can't kiss."
Zou Honggang's voice interrupted my sadness and made me realize my gaffe.
I quickly withdrew my hand, secretly wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes, blushed, and ran away on my own...... Behind him was Zou Honggang's hearty laughter.
————————————
The sea during the day is blue and I can't believe it, and the vastness shocks me.
I used to see everything on TV, in albums, in pictures, and the sea, and I already had a certain image in my heart.
However, when it was really in front of me, that feeling was not at all what a TV album could give.
The huge rocky shore stands majestically on the seashore, and the rumbling sound of the waves can be described as deafening. Beyond the rocks lies the vast expanse of the sea. The sea and the sky meet as far as the eye can see. Here, you can really feel that the earth is round. The curvature of the sea level is clearly visible in front of you. The water is blue and clear. Wave after wave, rushing forward and chasing towards the beach, surging and retreating.
I was standing on the beach in front of the shoreline, just right to pass my feet when the waves came. The sea was cold, and it slapped on the feet quickly and powerfully. If the wave was a little bigger, I would be swept away by it. After the waves have passed, the fine sand under your feet will be washed out into a small pit with the direction of the sea. When the surrounding water quickly disappeared, there was still a small puddle of clear water in this small pit.
I was stunned and shocked by such a vast and delicate view! There are no words to describe how I felt at that time, which is probably a lack of words.
Here, I can really feel my own insignificance and the majesty of the sea.
A sense of awe rose in my heart. This is not only a reverence for nature, but also an awe for life.
"Xiaoxiao." Liu Wei's voice came from behind him.
I look back, and the embarrassment and shyness I felt just now no longer exist.
"Xiaoxiao, go ahead? Swim together, huh? ”
"I won't, and I don't dare."
"It's okay, then I'll walk ahead with you. Since you have arrived at the beach, if you don't go to the sea to feel it, isn't it a waste of such a good scenery? ”
As I said, when I finally saw the sea of my dreams, but I turned it away and didn't dare to hug it, wouldn't it be a trip for nothing? It's too much to live up to the thoughts that the sea has been in my heart for so many years?
I mustered up the courage and nodded to Liu Wei, he stretched out his hand to me, I stopped for a second, and then naturally pulled him. It seems, in this way, I am accustomed to it and accept it calmly.
I don't know if accepting such behavior is considered a relationship between two people, but Liu Wei has never said anything to me.
Think about the story that Sister Lan Feng told me, on this seaside, I hope that I can also be romantic. Maybe the natural hand-in-hand with Liu Wei is just the expectation buried in my heart.
Wave after wave of the sea crashed against my calves, and the deeper you went, the more resistance grew.
A bigger wave came over and lifted my skirt. I don't have Marilyn Monroe's enchantment, let alone her appearance, what I have is just an exclamation!
It doesn't look like a big wave, but it can set off such a big wave.
The temperature of the sea is cooler than I imagined, after all, in winter, although the temperature of more than 20 degrees makes the human body scorching, but this unfathomable sea water is still cold.
"Xiaoxiao, do you dare to go a little further?"
"Dare!"
I was brave enough to break through myself, and I remember that the child who was not afraid of water was struggling.
When I was a child, I loved swimming, and my favorite activity every summer was to go to the water by the mountain with my parents.
In the vague and hazy memory, there are often scenes of playing in the water on the side of the mountain. Dad was swimming in the water, Mom was laughing on the shore, and I was always changing places. What hasn't changed is my smiling face.
Happy times will always be fixed in my memory, and the joy of swimming is fixed in the year when my parents separated. Since then, I haven't had such fun. Gradually, I became afraid of swimming and water. Although I can still accompany my sister to the pool for a swim in the summer, the fear in my heart is always with me.
What I am afraid of is not the water itself, but the happiness hidden in my memory.
"Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid, I will protect you." Liu Wei's warm smile, under the imprint of the sunset, is so beautiful.
I have strengthened my belief that I can't live in the confines of the past, and it's time to break through myself and change.
The water was already below her knees, and it was almost next to the edge of her skirt. I want to use one hand to protect my skirt from getting wet by the rippling seawater. A big wave rolled straight at me, I couldn't stand on my feet, and my body retreated in the direction of the current, and I fell.
Liu Wei said that it was too late and then quickly to wrap his arms around my waist, so that I didn't fall, but the skirt was still very wet.
I was so shy that I couldn't even breathe in his arms.
"Xiaoxiao, your skirt is wet, can you take it off? Isn't there a swimsuit inside? ”
"Xiaoxiao, my pants are also wet, why don't we go over together, take off our wet clothes, and put them on the rocks over there to dry? The sun is about to set, and when there is no sun, we will have to go back in wet clothes. ”
"Oh, good." I panicked and agreed, and dodged away from his arms.
On this day, I held hands with him and hugged my waist, so what about tomorrow? What else will happen? My heart was no longer calm, and I didn't dare to think about what would happen next. In the ten days and half a month that we are about to get along, will something happen that I am worried about?
"Xiaoxiao, why are you two still here? Didn't swim in the water? Yuan Xiaorong crawled over wet, not far from me.
"Oh......" I looked at him and Zou Honggang being together so naturally, and I was a little envious.
Yuan Xiaorong was wearing her beautiful swimsuit, with snow-white skin and shining. Zou Honggang's hand was placed on her shoulder very casually.
When will I be so bold?
Liu Wei and I staggered to a place where there was no seawater, and the sunlight had become much weaker. A touch of sunset in the west, red floating in the air, indicates that tomorrow will be another sunny day!
"Brother Liu Weiwei, you see, this kind of light may not be able to dry our clothes, so I'll wear it like this."
"Xiaoxiao, wait a minute, when it gets dark, the wind will rise, and it will be cold."
"But...... "I'm really embarrassed to wear such a revealing dress in front of Liu Wei, no, no, no, it's tight clothes." It made me feel like I was facing him, with an unobstructed view.
I don't know if it's fear or low self-esteem, but I just don't dare. I'm afraid he'll be disappointed when he sees me so thin. I'm afraid that all that I don't have good about will be revealed to him.
I remember when I first entered junior high school, I was always shy about the second characteristic of girls. Always walking in the corner alone, with his head down, he didn't dare to discuss the brand of girls' products with other girls, and he didn't dare to talk about his underwear size with other girls.
Only Chen Yingjie told me to be confident, and I was not bad. But my inferiority complex is innate.
I never dare to get too close to a boy, I'm afraid I'll be laughed at.
Liu Wei is the first boy to hug me! For him, my heart, began to complicate.
