When Ji Qingqian faced the sea, the first adjective that came to mind was...
big.
It is vast and boundless.
The sea breeze blew through her black hair and the hem of her clothes.
The wind carried the distinctive salty smell of the ocean.
She gazed at the sea.
After a short while, she wanted to turn her head to look at Lu Yibei.
But Lu Yibei was not by his side.
He went around to the back of the car and opened the trunk.
"Abei."
Ji Qingqian called Lu Yibei's name and followed him, like a well-behaved student looking for a tour leader on a trip.
"Here, slippers."
Lu Yibei was carrying two pairs of slippers in his hand.
He handed the smaller pair to Ji Qingqian.
Lu Yibei parked the car on the side of the road.
There were a few cars scattered along the roadside, but if you counted carefully, there were probably seven or eight.
They were all there to bring people to the beach to watch the sunrise.
It seems the old man was right; the road is indeed passable. Those two tattered signs were simply forgotten and forgotten to be put away.
The road is three or four meters higher than the beach, and there are stairs leading down not far away.
The beach is quite large.
Perhaps because it wasn't the weekend, there weren't many people watching the sunrise.
Whether alone, in pairs, or in small groups, they stood scattered on the East Beach, all facing the sea.
"I forgot."
Ji Qingqian took the slippers; she had forgotten that she needed to change her shoes to come see the sea.
“It’s okay, I remember,” Lu Yibei said.
Ji Qingqian pursed her lips, and the corners of her eyes curved into a smile.
“That’s nice,” she said.
Abei can make up for her deficiencies.
Ji Qingqian stepped off her Converse sneakers, casually tossed aside her white socks, and stuffed her two snow-white, delicate little feet into her slippers.
Lu Yibei sat on the railing separating the beach from the road to change his shoes.
After changing into slippers, he picked up the white socks that Ji Qingqian had thrown away and put them back in the carriage.
Ji Qingqian moved her feet a little.
The slippers made a clattering sound.
They were just ordinary peep-toe foam slippers; hers were white, and Lu Yibei's were black.
"Couple's set?" she asked.
"Bought from just one store..."
Lu Yibei was about to say that they were just the same style, but then changed his mind halfway through: "If couples wear them, then they are couple styles."
“Let’s go then,” Ji Qingqian said.
"Wait, tie your hair up first," Lu Yibei said.
Seeing that the female knight-errant didn't seem to be wearing a hair tie, he gave her his hair tie and then handed her the hair tie that he had been holding in his hand.
"Okay," Ji Qingqian said.
“You should remember to return what you borrowed,” Lu Yibei said.
Okay~~
Ji Qingqian's tone became even lighter.
After tying her hair into a high ponytail, she took more frequent steps than usual, making a clattering sound on the steel staircase.
Once her feet were actually on the sand, she stopped and looked back up at Lu Yibei, who was still behind her.
"…What's wrong?"
Lu Yibei also came down the stairs and stood beside her.
Ji Qingqian opened her fair palm towards Lu Yibei:
Give me your hand.
Lu Yibei obediently put it on.
Ji Qingqian spread her five fingers, then clenched them tightly, a sly glint suddenly appearing on her usually cool and aloof face:
"We have to run there."
"…Um?"
Lu Yibei hadn't reacted yet.
Ji Qing smiled faintly, then took long strides and pulled Lu Yibei along as they ran wildly towards the sea.
“…Slow down.” Lu Yibei said with a smile.
"I don't--"
Ji Qingqian's soft laughter reached Lu Yibei's ears, like cutting open the most refreshing and sweetest watermelon in summer.
The beach in the distance is pale yellow.
The closer you get to the sea, the wetter the sand becomes, and the darker its color becomes.
Ji Qingqian led Lu Yibei to the darkest spot, their slippers filled with sand.
With a whoosh.
The waves crashed in, hitting their knees directly.
"It's so cool." Ji Qingqian exclaimed in surprise.
The waves then immediately receded.
Lu Yibei was wearing shorts.
Ji Qingqian also felt that wearing a horse-face skirt was too inconvenient for playing on the beach.
Even so, both of their trouser legs were still wet.
Ji Qingqian didn't mind at all; she was determined to stand there.
She faces the sea, with a thin layer of mist shrouding the far distance.
Before the sun had risen above the sea, the pale sky to the east seemed to be performing some kind of ritual to welcome it, becoming increasingly bright.
Ji Qing gazed at the distant dawn, and after a few seconds of pause, she spoke as if she had carefully organized her thoughts:
"Abei, my heart is pounding so hard."
"I know."
Lu Yibei and her hand were still firmly clasped together.
He could feel the surging sensation in her pulse.
"Excited."
Ji Qingqian turned her gaze to the boy beside her.
As a master of cultivation and a night owl, she had seen the sun rise in the east countless times, but this was the first time she had watched the sunrise with this young man.
Not only that, it was also her first time seeing the sea.
The sea and the sunrise are certainly romantic, but the reason her heart beats so fast is the boy beside her.
The world is great, but you are the best.
Another wave crashed in, soaking their pants once more.
The cool, refreshing sensation made Ji Qingqian feel very comfortable.
A fiery red glow emerged from the distant sea, and the long-awaited sunrise began to rise slowly.
The light mist that lingered over the sea was dried by the intense morning sun.
"Every wave that crashes on the Earth's ocean surface is the movement of the gods."
Lu Yibei stared at Ji Qingqian's slender profile and said softly.
