“…What fun things could there be?” Zhao Xun muttered to himself.
"Please get out, please get out," Ma Jiaojiao pleaded.
Zhao Xun, a real man, would never fall for a coquettish act.
"Then change your shoes."
"good!"
…
Taiping is also one of the county-level cities in Taicheng.
But compared to staying in the city center of Linhaifu yesterday, Shitang Town, where we are now, feels more like a coastal town.
Just as Ma Jiaojiao said, the sea breeze today was unexpectedly warm.
The sudden rain showers didn't lower the temperature; it was still quite warm wearing a coat.
They weren't staying in a hotel, but in a guesthouse.
There are various home-style shops next to the guesthouse.
There are grocery stores and barbecue stalls.
The storefront was still lit by a dim, warm light at this hour.
The barbecue stall owner was just getting ready to open for business; he was setting up the frame and burning charcoal.
It was the first time either of them had been to this small town, and they had no idea which way to go.
Fortunately, technology has indeed made life more convenient for many people.
As long as you remember the name of the guesthouse, even if you wander off aimlessly, you'll eventually be able to find your way back.
Ma Jiaojiao opened the map, turned around facing east, west, south, and north, and finally found a direction.
She was secretly pleased:
"Senior, come this way with me."
"Don't run around."
Zhao Xun reminded everyone that although it wasn't late, it was dark and it wouldn't be good to accidentally fall.
"I know~ Just come with me." Ma Jiaojiao had already run about ten meters away and was waving at Zhao Xun from there.
Zhao Xun originally just wanted to walk at her own pace, but after seeing Xiao Ma's long legs, she had no choice but to quicken her pace.
"What? Is there anything over there?"
"Come here, come here."
Ma Jiaojiao's destination was clearly not just where she was standing now.
She led Zhao Xun at a jog.
We walked through the alleyway between the houses.
They came to the main road in front of the house, crossed the main road, and proceeded along the path.
Then.
"--stop!"
Ma Jiaojiao called out to stop at a corner, as if she were hiding something behind the wall of the house in front of her.
Zhao Xun obeyed and stopped walking.
Ma Jiaojiao took the lead in gathering intelligence, peeking her head out from behind the wall and cautiously examining something.
Her eyes lit up with surprise:
"—Senior, it's…"
Before she could finish speaking, Zhao Xun asked casually, "The sea?"
Ma Jiaojiao: ...
She turned to look at Zhao Xun:
"You were secretly looking at the map too?"
She discovered while looking at the navigation that the guesthouse they were staying at was very close to the sea, and they could walk there.
"Do we still need to look at a map?"
Zhao Xun said listlessly, "We're all just listening to the sound of the waves."
Ma Jiaojiao clicked her tongue in even more disbelief: "Then you're not excited at all, senior? You have no romantic spirit."
Zhao Xun pointed to his own nose.
"I."
"Um?"
"He's from Shanghai, what kind of expectations do you expect from me regarding the sea?"
Besides, he's from Hudong.
It was already running around on the beach before it even grew any fur.
He doesn't have the kind of personality that loves the world like Lao Bei... Just because someone can look at West Lake endlessly doesn't mean he's like that.
“…Oh.” Ma Jiaojiao pouted.
He had a slightly aggrieved expression, as if to say, "Turns out I was the only one who thought it was a surprise."
Zhao Sun: ...
Let's go.
"ah?"
“I’ve seen it, not you. But I’m warning you not to have too high expectations—the sea in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is yellow even on a sunny day, completely different from the azure sea you imagine,” Zhao Xun said.
“But Ji Qingqian told me she was very pretty,” Ma Jiaojiao said.
“Nonsense, the first time she saw the sea was when Lao Bei took her there, and it was also a confession. Even if it was just a small stream, she could see the momentum of ‘flowing to the sea and never returning’…” Zhao Xun said.
The sea is the sea.
But there is no beach.
It's just the sea.
After turning this corner.
The two looked down at the waves lapping against the roadside.
The coastal highway beneath their feet is seven or eight meters higher than the sea.
There are streetlights.
But it doesn't light up.
Looking into the distance, everything was pitch black.
However, Ma Jiaojiao could still see that the waves were surging near the shore, but calm in the distance.
A thin mist shrouded the sea.
"...Will we be able to see the sunrise tomorrow?" Ma Jiaojiao asked.
Zhao Xun didn't want to discourage the big girl, but she still told the truth: "It's difficult."
"Qingqian said that Senior Lu was really worried about getting a sunrise back then," Ma Jiaojiao said.
“That’s right, after all, the only reliable thing is the weather forecast, but the weather forecast is not reliable either,” Zhao Sun said.
"Confessing your feelings is really not easy," Ma Jiaojiao said.
Zhao Xun nodded: "More than that, three-quarters of the people in our dormitory almost died."
"Huh?"
Although Ma Jiaojiao knew the general outline of what had happened, Ji Qingqian didn't explain it in too much detail.
It was only at this point, with Zhao Xun's narration, that the events that occurred before and after that period were filled in.
"We've mobilized the entire nation's resources," Zhao Xun chuckled.
Ma Jiaojiao looked down at the senior student beside her, who had his arms crossed, and suddenly asked:
"Senior, if it were you, what kind of confession would you want?"
