The sky is bright, the fiery red sunrise in the eastern sky gradually dissipates, the spectacular sunrise scene also passes, and the tourists on the sun-watching peak leave one after another.

Fang Shi unhurriedly put away the carpet, then looked at Xia Na who was trying to walk beside him, and asked with concern, "How is it now?" ”

Xia Na said with some hesitation: "It shouldn't be a problem to go by yourself." ”

In fact, she had just tried a few steps, and there was still a faint pain in her ankle, but it was still significantly better than when she just broke her foot, and this pain is estimated to be able to hold on.

Fang Shi said in a questioning tone, "Really? Then you take a few steps and I'll see. ”

Xana showed a little helplessness, and then, like a little girl who had made a mistake, admitted, "It's still a little painful." ”

Fang Shi looked at the pitiful Xia Na and smiled, "Then I'll carry you down the mountain." ”

Xia Na did not object this time, but nodded obediently, her heart was slightly complicated, after a few days of travel, she found that she was more and more like a little woman who was taken care of in front of this man, which was very different from her usual maverick style of acting in the dark blue base, but a feeling did make her feel a unique sweetness.

Soon after, Fang Shi carried Xia Na on his back and walked in the direction of the mountain, his pace was not very fast, almost maintaining a uniform pace, so naturally to take better care of Xia Na on his back, and at the same time he could enjoy the natural scenery along the way.

Xana leaned lightly on Fangshi's solid back, listening to the deep breathing of the man in front of her. Her slightly rippling heart gradually calmed down, and while admiring the scenery on the mountain trail along the way, she chatted with Fang Shi quite intimately on some light-hearted topics.

Along the way, the two were almost immersed in a pleasant atmosphere.

At noon, Fang Shi and Xia Na arrived at the foot of the mountain, during which the two of them spent a lot of time at several scenic spots along the way, so it took a lot more time to go down the mountain than to go up.

Upon arriving at the service area at the foot of the mountain, Fang Shi immediately took Shana to the medical service and asked the doctor to look at Shana's injured foot. After the doctor's confirmation, Xana's feet were indeed fine. Just take a little rest and you'll be fine.

Subsequently. The two left the service area at the foot of the mountain and headed to the nearest small town.

In the small town, Fang Shi and Xana rested for a long time.

The next morning, the two set off again. Start a new journey.

The fourth stop of the tour is a wide grassland. Endless turquoise grasslands. It's like a turquoise sea.

Fang Shi and Xia Na lived in the herdsmen's tents with a slightly ancient style, riding horses galloping across the endless grassland, looking up at the pure blue sky and white clouds. Enjoy the unique milk wine and roast sheep of the grassland, and indulge in a joyful bonfire banquet with the herdsmen.

On the grassland, the two spent three days in a relaxed and happy manner, and most of the travel vacation passed quietly.

With some reluctance, Fang Shi and Xana left the grassland.

The fifth and last stop of Xana's plan is a small coastal town, not a tourist destination, but an ordinary small town, and the reason why he chose Dongyu as the final destination of his trip is because there is her home, her father and mother, and her sister Xiaya, who is also returning home for the holidays.

The two first arrived in a medium-sized city near Dongyu by plane, and then took a car to Dongyu Town.

When I arrived at Dongyu Town, it was already dusk.

As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun pours on the entire Dongyu Town with a bit of unique style, which is very beautiful and moving.

Xia Na did not inform her family in advance, and took Fang Shi directly to her villa by taxi.

Fang Shi felt that such a visit seemed too abrupt, and under Xia Na's determined gaze, he had no choice but to bite the bullet.

Xia Na's villa is very ordinary, a two-story small building and a small courtyard, the yard is planted with a lot of flowers and plants, and the owner of the villa seems to be quite leisurely and elegant.

The first person Fang Shi saw was Xia Jiashi, Xia Na's father, who was wearing a pair of thick glasses, looking quite elegant, with white temples and slightly wrinkled corners of his eyes and forehead, and he was not old-fashioned.

When Fang Shi and Xia Na first arrived at the Xia family's villa, Xia Jiashi was lying on the bench in the small courtyard reading leisurely, with tea next to him, looking very leisurely.

It wasn't until Xia Na and Fang Shi walked into the door of the villa that Xia Jiashi reacted, and then looked at the two of them with some surprise, of course, this surprise came more from Fang Shi, he still knew his daughter very well about his daughter, he never thought that his daughter Xia Na would take the initiative to bring a strange man to the house, which is definitely an unprecedented event.

Xia Na quickly took the initiative to introduce: "Dad, this is a friend of the base. ”

Fang Shi also hurriedly said politely, "Uncle, hello." ”

"Huh!" The surprise on Xia Jiashi's face flashed, and then he showed a gentle smile and said politely, "Hello, young man." ”

Xia Na introduced again: "Dad, his name is Fang Shi. ”

Xia Jiashi looked at Fang Shi and Xia Na slightly, although the two young people did not act intimately, but his eyes were still clear, and the relationship between the two was definitely not shallow, and he smiled secretly in his heart: "Hehe, my daughter has really grown up!" ”

Subsequently, under Xia Jiashi's greeting, Fang Shi walked into the villa and met Xia Na's mother, who was a gentle and virtuous woman who looked only forty years old, and her appearance was quite similar to Xia Na, obviously Xia Na's beauty was more inherited from her currently.

In addition, Fang Shi also saw Xia Ya, who was dressed in casual attire, pure and lovely.

Seeing Fang Shi, Xia Ya seemed to see a ghost, and asked in disbelief, "You...... Why did you come to my house? ”

When Fang Shi was about to explain awkwardly, Xia Na relieved him in time and said, "I invited it." ”

"Huh?!"

Xia Ya looked quite surprised, although she knew that her sister Xia Na and Fang Shi had some good feelings for each other, but she didn't think that the two had reached the point of meeting their parents, and they hadn't seen each other for more than ten days. Have the two of them developed to this point? It must have been too fast, more than she expected.

Dinner, cooked by Xana's mother, was very tasty.

After the meal, the mother and daughter sat together, not knowing what little secret they were talking about, only to see a faint blush appear on Xana's beautiful face from time to time.

Fang Shi and Xia Jiashi sat in the small courtyard.

A pot of hot tea rests on a small table between the two.

In the small courtyard, the two chatted seemingly casually.

Xia Jiashi casually asked for some information about the ashlar and the dark blue base, and told some about his personal life experience, more than thirty years ago, he was sent to the outside world by the imperial military to send him into the dark blue. Also assigned to the Deep Blue Base. Then he worked in the Deep Blue base for nearly 30 years, and just quit Deep Blue a few years ago, and returned to the warm home of Dongyu Town to enjoy his life.

In front of the ashlar. Xia Jiashi can definitely be regarded as his predecessor.

Xia Jiashi told the story. Fang Shi listened earnestly. Although Xia Jiashi seems to be very casual to tell, if you think carefully about the content of what he said, you will find that the other party seems to have a deep meaning.

Truly. Xia Jia does have special intentions, he seemed to communicate with Fang Shi very casually before, but he read some of Fang Shi's inner information from it, the other party's mind does not seem to be in the dark blue, and he is still attached to the world outside the dark blue, which is not a good message for her daughter Xia Na. Therefore, he used his own experience to paint a picture for Fang Shi, a beautiful picture of the dark blue, and the purpose is naturally to let go of the world outside the dark blue and start the future picture of the dark blue with peace of mind.

After painting the picture, Xia Jiashi took a small sip of the tea that was already cold, and said in a slightly solemn tone: "Young man, since you have arrived at Deep Blue, you can stay at ease, if you experience it carefully, you will find that Deep Blue is a beautiful place, and it can also enrich life many times, family, wife, and children...... As long as you know how to cherish it, what the outside world has, dark blue is also used. ”

Fang Shi felt a little bitter in his heart, he naturally understood what Xia Jiashi revealed, and Yan Yao, who had been in the research and development experiment of the mecha design team, had also entered with him, but now he really couldn't give up the unexpected world of Deep Blue, thinking of the figures that occupied important positions one by one, he was really unforgettable.

Xia Jiashi looked at the young man beside him and shook his head secretly, although Fang Shi didn't have any intention of refutating, but he knew that he might not be able to convince the other party for the time being.

Looking up at the night sky overhead, Xia Jiashi took a deep breath and asked with a serious face, "Fang Shi, do you like Xana?" ”

Although Xia Jiashi's contact with Fang Shi is not very long, and he doesn't know much about it, but he knows his daughter well enough, from Xia Na's words and deeds, he knows that the seed in his daughter's heart has germinated, and Fang Shi's current state, he is not very relieved to entrust his daughter to the other party, maybe this is his caution as a father.

Fang Shi pouted slightly, but he still replied honestly, "I like it." ”

Xia Jiashi didn't show the slightest surprise, and asked again: "Then do you love Xana?" ”

"Love?"

For a moment, Fang Shi didn't seem to know how to answer, and it was obvious that "like" and "love" in Xiana's father's mouth were two completely different concepts.

Without waiting for Fang Shi to answer, Xia Jiashi continued to speak with a serious expression: "Like is different from love, like does not need to shoulder any responsibility, and love needs to shoulder responsibility, and 'love' without responsibility is not love. If you love Xana, you have to take responsibility for her and think about her. This is the deep blue, not the outside world, if you really love Shana, then you must have the determination to stay in the deep blue, or you have enough strength to take Shana away from the dark blue safely, remember that it is safe to take her away, if you don't have that kind of determination or strength, as a father, I will not agree to you being together......"

Listening to Xia Jiashi's words, Fang Shi's face showed a solemnity, indeed as Xia Na's father said, if he really loves Xia Na, then he must shoulder the responsibility for Xia Na, if it is just for the satisfaction and impulse in his heart, then he is not worthy of loving Xia Na at all. Now he can't let go of the outside world at all, he doesn't have the determination to stay in Deep Blue forever, and he doesn't have enough strength to take Xiana away from Deep Blue safely.

After being silent for a long time, Fang Shi said seriously: "Uncle, I know. ”

Xia Jiashi looked at Fang Shi and shook his head secretly, in fact, he was quite helpless to do so. But as a father, he must think about his daughter, which is his responsibility, and there are two consequences of this, one is that Fangshi chooses to stay in the dark blue with peace of mind; The other party took the initiative to leave Xana. Of course, what he expects most in his heart is the first result, in his opinion, Fang Shi is still a very good young man, if the other party chooses to stay in Deep Blue with peace of mind, it is a good choice as his daughter's home.

Taking a light breath, Xia Jiashi said slowly: "Fang Shi, you think about it carefully, I just don't want Xia Na to be hurt." I also hope that you can understand a father's heart. ”

"Understood." Fang Shi nodded slightly. Then he said solemnly, "Thank you, uncle." ”

At this time, he did have a trace of gratitude, at least Xana's father made him understand what liking is and what love is.

Inside the small courtyard. The two of them did not continue with the slightly heavy topic. Instead, the topic quickly shifted to the Deep Blue base. However, the atmosphere has clearly changed from before.

Regarding the conversation between men, the mother and daughter of the Xia family did not disturb them very tacitly.

Until ten o'clock in the evening. Fang Shi and Xia Jiashi walked into the villa.

In the guest room of the villa, Fang Shi lying on the bed tossed and turned, and his mind still recalled the words of Xana's father from time to time, until he had a real choice in his heart, and he fell asleep in a daze.

Early the next morning, Fang Shi got up, and then walked out of the Xia family villa to start his morning exercise.

After more than an hour of morning running, Fang Shi ran almost half of Dongyu Town.

The early morning of Dongyu Town is also beautiful and moving, with a faint morning light shining on the streets and buildings, everything seems to wake up from sleep.

On the streets, pedestrians greet the new day with warm and bright smiles.

Soon after returning to the Xia family's villa, Fang Shi enjoyed a delicious breakfast made by Xia Na's mother.

Several people sat around the dining table and enjoyed breakfast together, warm and beautiful.

Fang Shi longed for such a warm life, maybe as long as he was determined to stay in the dark blue, but he knew that he still couldn't let go of the things that had been deeply engraved in his heart.

After breakfast, Fang Shi left the house with the Xia family sisters.

According to the plan, the three of them are going to visit Dongyu Town first, and then go to the most famous Crescent Bay Beach in Dongyu, which is also the general arrangement of the three of them for a day.

However, not long after going out, Xia Ya separated from Fang Shi and Fang Shi under the pretext of some reason.

Before parting, Xia Ya looked at Fang Shi and Xia Na, and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't use your light bulbs." Fang Shi, you have to take care of my sister, if something goes wrong, I won't finish with you, and there are some things that you have to take the initiative as a big man, and no one likes to cower. Hehe, sister, did you say? ”

Fang Shi was slightly helpless, this Xia Ya's hint was too obvious.

Xia Na frowned slightly, although her relationship with Fang Shi was delicate, but it didn't seem to be to the point of being clear, Xia Ya's words made her slightly embarrassed, I saw her snort lightly and said, "Little girl, just take care of your own affairs." ”

Xia Ya stuck out her little tongue and said, "Okay, I'm leaving." Have a nice day. ”

After speaking, Xia Ya moved away, but after just a few steps, she turned around and shouted, "You two have to come on!" ”

……

After separating from Xiaya, Fang Shi and Xia Na began to travel to the east fish, but compared to the previous tour, there seemed to be some subtle changes between the two.

Fang Shi quickly felt the special changes in the old man, the changes mainly came from Xia Na, he felt that Xia Na seemed to be centered on him everywhere, and he had to take the initiative to ask his opinion when he bought anything, and his words were more intimate, and the relationship between the two was more like a couple.

"Delusion?"

Fang Shi's answer was no, because he quickly felt the change in Xana clearly, and he might have been happy if it hadn't been for that conversation with Xana's father, but now his heart was getting more and more complicated, and he didn't seem to know how to deal with the relationship with Xana.

Finding something strange beside Fang Shi, Xia Na asked softly, "Fang Shi, what's wrong?" ”

Fang Shi adjusted slightly, and then quickly replied, "It's okay." ”

Xia Na sighed lightly, but did not continue to ask anything, and continued to take Fangshi to visit the small town of Dongyu, although Dongyu is not a tourist attraction, but there are still many places worth seeing.

In the morning, the two of them took a general walk around the small town of Dongyu.

In the afternoon, Fang Shi and Xia Na went to Crescent Bay Beach outside Dongyu Town as planned.

Crescent Bay Beach is the most famous place in Dongyu Town. The whole beach resembles a crescent moon, hence the name.

Along the way, Xana introduced Fang Shi to some information about Crescent Bay, and also told a lot of interesting stories about how she came to Crescent Bay with her parents when she was a child.

Before they knew it, the two arrived at Crescent Bay Beach.

The wide crescent sandy beach, the clear blue water, and the blue sky with white clouds......

Looking at the blue water and blue sky in the distance, Fang Shi took a deep breath, this Crescent Bay Beach is indeed a very beautiful place, comparable to the beaches of some tourist destinations. It's just that it's a bit small.

Before entering the beach. Both of them changed into beachclothes that they had prepared in advance.

Fang Shi quickly changed his clothes, in fact, he was just a pair of beach pants, and his upper body was directly naked.

Outside the locker room, Fang Shi waited for more than ten minutes before seeing Xia Na walking out slowly.

Xana wears a slightly conservative dark blue beachsuit. However, most of the slender porcelain-like legs are still exposed. The scenery that is quite full on the chest is also visible. And her beautiful face has a hint of blush that is rarely seen in ordinary times, and it is obvious that she is still a little uncomfortable with this beach suit with bare breasts and legs.

Looking at the shy and lovely Xia Na who walked in front of him, Fang Shi subconsciously swallowed his saliva. In my heart, there is an urge to hug it and bite it.

Seeing Fang Shi's almost straightforward gaze, Xia Na's face flushed even more, and she asked softly, "That'...... That, what's on my face? ”

Fang Shi retracted his gaze a little embarrassed, with a hint of shyness, Xia Na was already extremely moving, and this looming beach suit inevitably made people think about it, which can be regarded as a kind of man's instinct.

"Nothing." Fang Shi seemed calm, and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Let's go." ”

Xana nodded slightly, and hummed softly.

Fang Shi just turned around and was about to walk towards the beach, but found that his right arm was tied by a white slender hand, he shook his head and looked sideways at Xia Na, who looked at Xia Na with a slightly bowed head and seemed to be nothing.

The slender hand on Fangshi's right arm was stretched out by Xana.

Fang Shi's heart was slightly complicated, his head was not made of elm, and this holding hands meant a kind of recognition, a recognition of the relationship between each other. However, now he really can't do the two things that Xia Na's father said, but now he doesn't want to spoil Xia Na's mood at this time, he hesitated slightly, he took the initiative to grab Xia Na's hand, and then walked towards the beach.

Xiana didn't resist at all, there was a hint of sweetness on her reddish delicate face, and there were ripples in her heart.

There are a lot of recreational sports on the beach of Crescent Bay.

Fang Shi and Xia Na didn't seem to be very interested in the entertainment, but they just walked slowly hand in hand along the beach of Crescent Bay.

However, the two have very different moods.

Fangshi seems to be calm on the surface, but he is worried about his relationship with Nana. In fact, he had made a decision last night, and before he made up his mind to stay in Deep Blue, he still had Shana keep enough distance so as not to hurt her in the future, but now holding hands seemed to be beyond the scope of his reservation.

Xia Na is immersed in a faint happiness, although it is just a simple hand-holding, but it also means that the relationship between the two has taken the most important step. The dark blue base meeting every seven or eight days has made her gradually accept the existence of Fang Shi, and leave a clear figure in her heart, and this trip that lasted more than ten days is to make the special feelings in her heart completely ferment, and a qualitative change, which is the most reason why she took the initiative to reach out.

Along the beach of Crescent Bay, the two walked for more than half an hour unconsciously, and then sat down facing the sea in a slightly secluded beach position.

Wave after wave of small waves gently lapped against the sand, and wave after wave of sea blew through the blue hair.

Xia Na gently leaned on Fang Shi's shoulder, and the corners of her pale lips had a faint sweet smile.

Fang Shi looked at the blue sea in the distance, smelling the faint fragrance wafting beside him, but there was no imaginary picture in his heart, and some struggle flashed on his face from time to time, he really didn't want to break such a beautiful picture now, but he had to make his own choice, otherwise he would fall deeper and deeper, and it would probably be Xana who would be hurt in the end, and that was not the result he wanted to see. (To be continued......)
