"It's here!" Su Huai, Liu Zhixi and Lin Sujin took a long-distance train and then a high-speed rail, and finally arrived at Wanning Station in Hainan. As soon as the high-speed train got off the high-speed train, the heat wave rolled in, and Lin Sujin hurriedly took out sunscreen from his backpack and rubbed a few layers on his bare skin. The roadside scenery is typical of the tropics, with palm and coconut trees lined up along the roadside, and itinerant fruit vendors standing on the roadside stretching out their hands to attract customers.
The taxi arrived at Shimei Villa, where they got out of the car and walked to the villa, where there is a long pedestrian street selling a wide variety of souvenirs and daily necessities. In Shimei Villa, the trees are shady, the flowers are colorful, the vegetation can be seen to be carefully manicured, and there are green coconuts and orange and yellow honey hanging from the branches.
Walking under the trees, the dense layers of leaves resist the scorching sun, only dancing gently with the breeze, throwing bits and pieces of jumping light spots, like playing hide and seek with the breeze. The air is slightly hot, but it exudes a refreshing fragrance, Lin Sujin bare and smooth ankles, wearing a pair of cowhide high heels, white skirt fluttering in the wind, stopping in front of the villa to watch, really like Bian Zhilin's "Broken Chapter", a smile is very much like the person in the painting, decorating other people's dreams.
She may also realize her beauty, smiling shallowly, confident and elegant, the kind of pride and pride in her eyes is incomparable to Liu Zhixi.
"Hi, Zhixi! Hello, Sujin! Leng Jiang walked out of the villa next door and waved his arms at them. There is a warm flow in Liu Zhixi's heart, not as hot as the scorching sun, but as gentle as the snow melting in spring. Lin Sujin smiled shyly, lowered her eyebrows, and didn't dare to look at Leng Jiang, as if as long as she looked at each other, she would be seized by his deep eyes, and perhaps, her heart no longer existed in her chest, but beat fiercely in Leng Jiang's hands.
Leng Jiang's hand, for her, is a kind of comfort and command, which can not only gently caress her heart, but also manipulate her reason and emotions. Liu Zhixi felt the subtlety of the relationship between them, but she was silent and did not break it, and she was even a little worried that Lin Sujin's overly hot emotions might be doused with a basin of cold water, just like the steel in the furnace making a helpless "hissing" sound. She quietly turned her head to look at Su Huai, who seemed to have the same concerns.
"It's such a coincidence, we're neighbors again." Su Huai responded politely, but the rustiness in his tone was obvious.
With a clear blue coastline and delicate white sandy beaches, Lin Sujin is wearing a swimsuit, lying comfortably on a deck chair with a huge colorful parasol on his head. Su Huai held his camera to photograph this romantic and magnificent scenery. Liu Zhixi is not used to wearing revealing swimsuits, just wearing knee-length skirts and barefoot, tentatively stepping around on the beach.
She gently picked up a handful of sand, the fine sand slipped between her fingers, she clenched her fist tightly, but the white sand fell faster and faster, without giving her any affection for wanting to keep them. She let go of her hand in annoyance, but she heard a kind laugh, Leng Jiang didn't know when she stood behind her, the smile on her face was like the calm sea at the moment.
"Let's go, I'll take you out to sea." Before Liu Zhixi could answer, he naturally took her hand and led her to the port. Rows of fishing boats are parked in the harbor, like resting sea fish in the glittering sun, waiting for a new current. Leng Jiang led her to the fishing boat, and after fastening the safety rope, the small fishing boat was like a fierce shark, riding the wind and waves in the sea. A wave came, Liu Zhixi was a little scared, but Leng Jiang held her hand tightly, making her feel relied on in the bumps and uneasiness.
The more she drove towards the middle of the sea, the more turbulent the tide became, and she unconsciously clenched Leng Jiang's hand, and the power from his fingertips strengthened her courage. The wind gradually eased, and the fishermen cast their nets and fished them out, and there were a lot of treasures. There are abalone, sea cucumbers, conch, krill and butterflyfish, Liu Zhixi looked at it curiously, Leng Jiang picked out a sea cucumber and handed it to Liu Zhixi. She learned from Lengjiang's practice, peeled off the sea cucumber, and licked it with the tip of her tongue, which was salty and had a faint smell of sea. After tasting it in her mouth, she took a second bite, and she suddenly liked the delicious and fishy taste.
After returning from the sea, it was already afternoon, Liu Zhixi and Lengjiang walked leisurely on the beach, the fine grains of sand kissed the ankles, crispy, itchy, like a small ant crawling over, in the socket of the foot around the shape of a heart. She snuggled gently beside Leng Jiang, and the smell of men's perfume on his body lingered in the space not far away, giving her the feeling of being in a dream.
She forgot her misfortune for a while, put aside her troubles, let go of her entanglements, she just wanted it so purely, this beauty should not be taken away by time, not broken by reality, the time at this moment was so beautiful that it was unreal, but it made her feel happy really.
They parted at the door of the villa, and Liu Zhixi reluctantly hoped that today would never pass, but she was looking forward to the arrival of a new day.
There was a tempting fragrance wafting in the kitchen, and the chef helped purchase all kinds of seafood, Su Huai was eager to try, and was busy in the kitchen with an apron, saying that he wanted to try his hand and show his skills. Lin Sujin sat in the living room, fiddling with his mobile phone, glancing at the clock from time to time. Liu Zhixi's mobile phone vibrated twice, she swiped it open and saw that there was a villain's avatar flashing on the screen, and she was shocked, it was Yao Yao.
"Zhixi, are you okay? We've been apart for so long, and we haven't been in touch yet. Yao Yao sent a hugging expression.
Liu Zhixi's hands trembled slightly, she didn't know whether she should be happy or worried. "I'm fine, you, okay?"
"Zhixi, I miss you very much, and I miss the old days. Only now, everything has changed, and there is no going back. ”
"I miss you too, you have to be happy and start over." Liu Zhixi thought for a while and deleted the words "start over", although she really hoped so, but these four words were like a symbol, and only people with imprints would be labeled as such.
"Well, I will." A long silence followed.
"Actually, that incident has nothing to do with Su Huai. I know that the person who sent the email is not Su Huai, but I love that person, and I am willing to go to the trouble for him, and I am willing to do everything for him. Yao Yao's text messages continued.
"Ah, this ......" Liu Zhixi sighed in her heart, this girl who looked so big had such a deep heart. She felt sorry for her persistence and understood her infatuation, she didn't know whether to scold her to wake her up, or to hug her and comfort her.
"If you leave him, I will give you 5 million, and you will be sent to study abroad after graduating from high school, but you must disappear into his world forever." Liu Zhixi looked at the text message on her mobile phone, clutching her hands, her sharp nails inserted into the tender skin, and gradually oozing blood, she was still unconscious. She hid in her bedroom, no lights on, the room was pitch black, only the light of her mobile phone, her eyes were overwhelmed by the dazzling light. Tears were dripping down her face, and her shoulders shook violently, desperately trying to suppress the pain, but to no avail.
"Grandma, I miss you." She finally broke down and wept bitterly, and said this sentence that was rarely spoken, but swirled in the corners of her mouth all the time. "Mom and Dad, I miss you", she frantically wiped away tears with the back of her hand, "where are you?" I want to be with you so much, why do you want to leave me alone? Her shoulders were heaving, her eyes drifting out the window, but the lights of the villa opposite gave her a sense of stability.
