Chapter 47
I put on makeup and took the dog to my brother's place.
Yesterday I was watching TV, it was a documentary, and suddenly I really wanted to go out.
Qi Chengchen was very happy, saying it was good to go out and see the world. Before leaving, he hugged me and kept saying, "Little sister, you scared me to death the other day... It's okay, I'm glad you're willing to come out. I'll take good care of Jiang Jiang. Remember to send me a message when you get there, and contact me if anything happens, okay?"
"Okay, bro."
Before going through security, I couldn't help but look back. Qi Chengchen waved at me, and I smiled.
I woke up just as the plane landed.
Dali.
It's really beautiful; the seawater is incredibly clear.
After I sent a message to Qi Chengchen, I took a car to the beach. The driver saw that I was pale and thought I was carsick, so he gave me some motion sickness pills, which I swallowed.
We shouldn't waste their kindness.
I stayed for two days, then headed north.
Xiamen.
It's so beautiful, absolutely gorgeous.
Continue north.
Ningde.
I bought a lot of motion sickness medicine.
Wenzhou.
I'm a little tired.
Ningbo.
The sunrise was beautiful.
Lianyungang.
There were many people and boats.
sunshine.
The northern sea.
Weihai.
The sea in the north is completely different from the sea in the south. From any angle, it is filled with boundless depth.
Two o'clock in the morning.
I left the hotel, took two bottles of beer, and went to a deserted beach.
The moon shone coldly on the sea, and a few boats floated on the distant shore. The air was salty and fishy. The white waves rolled in under the moonlight, brushed against my feet, and then retreated. The sounds of the sea breeze and the waves were mixed yet distinct, and occasionally the cries of seabirds could be heard.
How about I give you the other bottle of wine?
Do you know what? The first time I saw you, I felt that your eyes were like the sea at dawn, flowing and deep. I traveled all the way north, saw the southernmost sea in China, and also saw the bustling ports and docks in the north. Only this deserted beach at dawn made me stop. I was secretly delighted.
Your eyes are especially beautiful, your nose is very high, and your lips are very sexy. You are tempting to me in every way.
The wine tastes alright; I just bought it at a convenience store during the day.
Let's clink glasses, you have a taste.
I took out my phone and watched the video you recorded, playing it on a loop.
"I was wrong, my dear wife. Get up quickly, Jia-ge will take you out to have some fun. The weather is so nice today, the birds are singing and the flowers are blooming. Qi Chengheng, baby, darling, I love you."
I love you too.
Honey, I haven't seen you for four months. We've never been apart for so long. Will you come see me?
You used to say I was just being perfunctory when I acted cute, that you'd agree to anything I asked for if I just acted cute. Do you keep your word? I'll act cute with you and ask you to let me see you, okay?
Baby, Jiang Jianian, let me touch you.
I miss you so much I'm going crazy.
I finished my beer, and my mouth felt a little dry. I only had motion sickness pills in my pocket, so I popped two into my mouth.
I don't get carsick, but chewing on something helps me stay calm.
The sea breeze feels so nice.
"Qi Chengheng".
There seems to be a sound in the distance?
I put down the bottle and looked out at the sea. It seemed like fog had risen over the water, and there was a person standing in the sea in the distance.
"baby."
That voice sounds like you. Are you calling me? I heard it.
I can't see clearly, is that you? You seem to be soaked to the bone, the fog is too thick, it's all blurry, what are you doing standing in the sea?
When I got a little closer, the seawater was a bit cold, and it was a bit far away.
Wait a minute, I'll be right there.
The seawater is up to my knees, it's hard to walk. Wait a minute, I'll be able to see clearly soon. It's so cold. Wait a moment, the waves keep dragging my legs. Wait a minute, I'll be there soon.
Don't go, I'll be there soon. The seawater is already up to my thighs. I'm so close, I can see it clearly now. Wait for me, wait for me, baby. I'll be there soon. Wait for me.
Just a few more steps, wait for me, wait a minute.
I saw it.
It's you.
“…Carnival…”
"Wife."
"Jiang Jianian! Where did you go? What are you doing here... You're so cold. Look down. Your lips are so cold too. Are you cold? Can I give you my coat? Hold on tight, I'll warm you up."
"Honey, I'm not cold."
"Nonsense, you're clearly cold. Why are you standing in the sea? Let's go home. The seawater is up to your waist."
"Wife, I miss you so much."
"I miss you too. Where did you go? You can't leave me alone, you know? But it's good that you're back. Let's go to my brother's house and pick up Jiang Jiang. Let's go home."
"How did you get so thin? Have you not been eating properly? Are the clothes I bought for you no longer suitable? Have you not been sleeping well either? Your dark circles look like a panda's."
"I ate it."
"You're finished, Qi Chengheng, if you dare to lie to me."
"No, no, I've eaten, I've slept, really, I'll eat it all back, don't go, don't go... Jia Nian... Jia Nian..."
"I'm not leaving, honey, why are you crying?"
"Don't go, please, please... baby... please..."
"Don't go, don't go, don't cry, I'm back now, darling, don't cry, don't cry, why are you crying like this?"
"Kiss me, Jiang Jianian, kiss me, don't leave me, don't leave me."
"Okay, okay, sweetie, don't cry anymore, okay? I was wrong, baby."
"Jianian, baby..."
"I'm here—I'm not here. Are you upset? Don't cry, don't cry, I'm here. Why is your face so red?...Qi Chengheng, breathe through your mouth."
"...Uh...Phew..."
"Qi Chengheng, wife, look at me, I won't leave you, I won't leave you... I'm sorry, don't cry, be good, be good."
"...The seawater is up to your chest, your hair is wet, your face is covered in water, you feel so cold, are you very cold?"
"It's okay, honey, relax first..."
"You dare! Jiang Jianian, you dare!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, don't cry, your eyes are all red from crying. Come on, hook your arms around my neck, your husband will hug you. Is it easier to kiss you now? Do you want me to hug you tighter?...Yes? Okay."
I miss you so much, I miss you so much.
"I know, I know."
"This is the longest you've ever been away. You've gone too far."
"I was wrong, my wife."
"You can't leave me again. I'm your wife. You cried when you married me, you know that?"
"I know you are the one I love most, I love you."
"Carnival".
"exist."
"Jiang Jianian".
"I'm here, honey."
"Jiang Jianian".
"I'm here... Don't talk when I kiss you."
"Are you back?"
"I'm back."
