"Heavy snow? Will it snow heavily on your birthday this year? It's snowing in the twelfth lunar month, so I can let you have a snowball fight." Xu Zhaoyue's curious tone dispelled Yue Lanxing's sudden emotions.
Yue Lanxing's emotions vanished before he even realized it. He looked at Xu Zhaoyue, who was full of curiosity, and asked, "A snowball fight? You can win without me, right?"
"Then you should let me win, I'm very competitive." Xiao Nan affirmed Xu Zhaoyue's words, "Yes, yes, the kind of person who chases after people and you can't stop them."
"Did I hit someone else and then you? Why are you reacting so strongly?" Xu Zhaoyue immediately looked at Xiaonan. "Miss, you dragged me into your team, and now I'm vulnerable from behind." Xiaonan was quite knowledgeable about this.
"I told you to follow me. I'm attacking from the front, and you're just making a snowball behind me and getting beaten. Can you blame me for that?" It's clear that Xu Zhaoyue has a very strong competitive spirit. It's not even winter yet, and the two of them are already arguing.
Yue Lanxing watched as the young lady talked about those tactics. Except when she had to be dignified and have a strong presence at the company, she was very lively at other times, handled business with ease, and knew so many fun things.
"Hey, don't you think so?" Xu Zhaoyue suddenly turned around to ask Yue Lanxing's opinion, and they met eyes. Yue Lanxing looked at her with gentle eyes, and her heart started racing.
Yue Lanxing was also caught off guard. "What?" He hadn't been listening to what they were saying; he had been too busy looking at the people.
"Oh, never mind, let's go get something to eat and then head back. It's still a bit chilly with the sea breeze." Xu Zhaoyue didn't say anything to him, and pulled Xiao Nan back to sit down.
Just as Yue Lanxing was about to take the coat, Xiao Nan draped the towel blanket over Xu Zhaoyue, and Yue Lanxing put the coat back on herself.
"Luckily, I prepared everything perfectly. Miss, please don't catch a cold." Xiao Nan was very satisfied with her preparations; they were so thoughtful. "Hmm, no wonder you had so many boxes moved." Xu Zhaoyue also praised her.
Once everything was put away, Yue Lanxing could see the moon as soon as she looked up. The moon over the sea seemed even bigger, and the moonlight shining down looked just like snow, a vast expanse of white.
His previous birthday was not the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, but rather the birthday his mother had calculated by a master, who said that celebrating his birthday on the first day of the eighth lunar month would ensure his safety. I found out this when I went back last time.
So he has never celebrated his own birthday, but that's not surprising. For the past twenty years, his birthday celebrations have simply been a simple "It's your birthday."
The sun rose again; it was the third day on the ship. The ship was docked on a small island with beautiful scenery that we could go down to admire. We would return to port at 2 p.m.
"Was this specially cleared out by them?" Xu Zhaoyue touched the big tree beside her, noticing its thickness and age.
"It should be. The island was full of their people who came to greet us. The places where we could move around were fenced off, basically enclosing a piece of land for us to play in," Yue Lanxing said.
Xu Zhaoyue nodded and reached out to try to hook the branch above, but she jumped twice without success. "Hey, can you help me..." Before she could finish speaking, Yue Lanxing reached out and picked a branch.
Then Xu Zhaoyue wove the branches into a wreath and wore it on her head. "Let's look over there again later to see if there are any pretty little flowers." The two of them walked deeper into the woods for a while. The woods weren't very big, and soon they saw other people.
"Hey, they're not dressed like people from the island, why are they over there by the railing?" Xu Zhaoyue looked at the crowd in the distance.
Yue Lanxing squinted and looked for a while. "It seems that this island also receives other ships, and these railings are the boundaries of each company."
"Let's go, let's not wander around here anymore, it's better to go back to the ship." Xu Zhaoyue quickly pulled Yue Lanxing back.
But what's meant to happen will happen again. Just as they were returning, Yue Wenzhi appeared in front of their boat.
Yue Wenzhi also came down to buy things, but he got lost and ended up in another store's territory. "I'm terrible with directions, but how did you manage to get lost?" he said to the person next to him.
Xian Hui recalled how he insisted on walking this way and wouldn't agree to go otherwise. It had nothing to do with being bad at directions; it was mainly because he was too stubborn. "I remember the way back. Are you tired? I'll carry you back."
"I need you to carry me? You... Lanxing?" Yue Wenzhi glanced at Yue Lanxing's face out of the corner of his eye, and upon closer inspection, it was indeed him. "You know who that is, right?"
Yue Wenzhi wanted to go forward to find Yue Lanxing, but Xian Hui stopped him, saying, "If you go to find him now, how will you explain it to your sister later? It's not appropriate for them to meet now. At least wait until they've rested at Maple Leaf Mansion."
“Tsk, you’re right. Let’s go back first. If he sees us, he’ll have to hide. You walk ahead.” Yue Wenzhi pushed Xian Hui’s shoulder and led him forward.
Meanwhile, Yue Lanxing was still oblivious to the situation. They hadn't noticed Yue Wenzhi's presence. Xu Zhaoyue was buying seashells, and Yue Lanxing was keeping his head down, accompanying her as she selected some.
“This conch is huge! It’s bigger than both of my hands. Take a look.” Xu Zhaoyue first gestured with her own hands, then placed the conch in Yue Lanxing’s hands.
"Where should we put this when we get home?" The conch shell was longer than Yue Lanxing's hand.
Xu Zhaoyue is still looking for other small seashells. "I'll pick a few more small seashells that are about the same size and make them into wind chimes to hang in the garden. Oh, and blue seashells too."
Yue Lanxing followed Xu Zhaoyue from west to east with a basket in hand, and the basket was already full when they boarded the boat.
Xiao Nan was already used to the seashells Yue Lanxing had brought over. "Miss bought so many! You can put them there. I'll find something to put them in later so they don't break."
