The sea is calm, like a huge mirror, reflecting the sky and white clouds like a beautiful ink painting.

It is vast and boundless, embracing everything in the world. Whether it is the ripples blown by the breeze or the surging waves, all can find rest in its arms.

At noon, we had a meal on the boat and returned to the cabin to rest.

Shen Xingzhou carried Fu Xiao to the cabin. The cabin was very small and could only accommodate a small bed of about 1.2 meters and a small table.

He put her on the bed and said, "Take a rest."

"Together?"

"Okay," Shen Xingzhou hesitated for only a moment before lying on the bed, letting her lie on top of him.

Although his body was a little stiff, fortunately he was used to sleeping there on a normal day.

Fu Xiao buried her head in his neck and let him hold her in his arms. The swaying sound on the boat was quite helpful in helping her sleep.

After a while, she slowly closed her eyes.

In a daze, he felt a little thirsty and bit Chen Xingzhou's neck, "Thirst..."

He got up reluctantly, poured her a glass of water, fed her to drink the water, and then pressed her on the bed and kissed her.

He hugged her again and closed his eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already past four in the afternoon.

"The route is wrong,"

Shen Xingzhou patted her, “Well, we took a detour….We didn’t go to Guangshi Port, we got off the ship in a very remote place,”

"Oh okay," she blinked and buried her head again.

After walking for about an hour, Shen Xingzhou raised his eyebrows: “Go watch the sunset?”

She was completely refreshed, "Okay..."

Shen Xingzhou put his coat on her, buttoned it up, and went out to the deck.

Fu Shaoyu waved at her, "An An, come and watch the sunset."

"Yeah, here it comes..."

Everyone's eyes fell on the west. The sea, which had been rolling all day, was like a child tired of playing, lying quietly in the golden glow.

Slowly....

The setting sun completely sank into the sea, and the sea water looked like molten gold.

At the same time, their ship also docked at the destination.

This place is some distance away from Guangshi Port.

When the people on the shore saw the boat approaching, they all gathered together.

Shen Xingzhou stepped forward to negotiate with the people, and soon, someone started to help them move the goods.

Seeing her puzzled expression, he smiled and explained, "This is someone from the Si family."

Fu Xiao felt slightly relieved.

It would be good if it wasn't an oversight. She was also thinking, what if something bad was smuggled in?

After unloading the gifts brought for the relatives, Shen Xingzhou borrowed a truck to transport the goods back.

Using his own ID, he borrowed a military vehicle from the military district.

Lian Yi leaned on the seat and asked him, "Can I borrow a car with your ID?"

Chen Xingzhou raised his eyebrows lightly: "We are all comrades, what's wrong with borrowing a car..."

"You're not going to quit, are you?"

"I applied for medical retirement and am still receiving my pension..."

Lian Yi looked at him with disdain, "Retire so early, you are not old enough to get a pension."

Shen Xingzhou curled his lips and smiled.

Fu Xiao looked back at Lian Yi and said, "Uncle, he is teasing you... He calls that an allowance."

Lian Yi sat back in the car seat and looked out of the window. It was so dark outside that he couldn't see anything clearly, but he kept looking.

"Where is this now?"

"It's still within the city limits,"

He smiled and said, "I've never been here before."

Fu Xiao patted Shen Xingzhou in front of him, "Where are we going now?"

Shen Xingzhou smiled and replied to her, "Let's eat first, then find a place to stay, and then we'll set off tomorrow morning."

....

After dinner at the state-owned restaurant, it was already very late, so he drove a few people to the guesthouse and booked two rooms.

Shen Xingzhou held Fu Xiao in his arms while lying on the bed and asked her, "Should we take the train tomorrow or drive back..."

"Ask Uncle Yi and Brother tomorrow. I can do anything."

"Okay, go to sleep,"

The next day, Lian Yi excitedly said that he wanted to take the train.

Fu Xiao nodded, "Then let's take the train."

I bought a few sleeper tickets at the train station using my ID.

After Lian Yi sat down, he didn't close his eyes and kept staring out the window.

When he heard the flight attendant calling for water, he would look up curiously.

After two days on the train, they got off.

After staying overnight in the local area, he drove Shen Xingzhou's car to Beijing the next day.

Lian Yi began to feel visibly nervous.

Fu Xiao smiled and asked, "Uncle, does this look familiar to you?"

Lian Yi shook his head, "Not familiar with it."

"I'm just a little nervous... I don't know if they still remember me..."

"Remember," she said to him with a smile, "When my uncles and aunts get together, they always talk about what happened before. Uncle Wu even said that you were the easiest to bully back then..."

Lian Yi smiled immediately and scolded angrily: "How dare he mention it? He is the one who bullied me the most..."

"He almost threw me into the river, but fortunately Brother Nian protected me. They even had a fight over this."

Shen Xingzhou asked with interest: "Then who won..."

"That bastard Wu Chengfeng has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. If he can't beat him, he'll just cheat..."

Talking about the past, Lian Yi looked much more relaxed, and the tension in his heart gradually dissipated as he told them about the past.

It was not until the car drove into the suburbs of Beijing and saw the familiar scene that he fell silent again.

Quietly looking at the scenery outside the car window.

They didn't make a sound to disturb him.

Lian Yi was the first to speak. He pointed at the mountain outside and said, "The structure of this mountain has not changed. It is still the same as before."

Fu Xiao asked, "Have you been here before?"

"Well, when I was about ten years old, I often came here to play. In the early years, there was... a winery here... I remember after I met your father and his family, we came here to drink. Now it's deserted..."

"The winery you mentioned should be the old tavern now, in the west of the city. My father once said that the wine still tastes the same as before..."

Lian Yi laughed: "It's good that he's still here. The first wine I learned to drink was his. I really miss it a little bit."

As the car drove into Beijing, the further Lian Yi went, the more familiar places he found himself. He could even name many streets.

Everything was clear, as if he had never left.

I don’t know what he saw, but his eyes gradually turned red and his body began to tremble.
