Yixing pulled out a sack of sugarcane, which he had just bought after seeing someone selling sugarcane and claiming it was guaranteed to be sweet.
He tried a bite, and it really was sweet.
So he bought all the sugarcane in one go.
This made the boss grin from ear to ear. He took out his clean burlap sack and chopped until his hands were numb before he finished chopping all one hundred sugarcanes.
Thus, Yixing became the new sugarcane king.
Packaged.
Ye Qi took a bite, chewed it, and found it was indeed sweet enough.
So she and Yixing started eating sugarcane.
Seeing the two of them enjoying their sugarcane so much, the others couldn't resist having one too. As they ate, they inexplicably got a high.
So everyone squatted down and started eating sugarcane.
Ye Qi found the idea of eating sugarcane together too bizarre and couldn't help but take out her camera.
Before they could even pose, I shouted, "Cheese!"
The next second, apart from Ye Qi and a few other people who reacted very quickly, the ugly photos were suddenly created.
Ye Qi glanced at the photo and saw that only Mi Ai wasn't eating sugarcane; instead, she was making a peace sign. She silently turned her head, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said with a disdainful expression, "You're really quick, kid."
Mi Ai shrugged: "I had to hurry, you almost tricked me."
Yixing tilted his head and looked over: "How was the photo taken? Let me see!"
Upon seeing himself in the photo, grinning with his teeth showing as he gnawed on sugarcane, his perfect, aloof, youthful image shattered instantly. He immediately got up and chased after Ye Qi:
"Ye Qi!! Delete it right now!!"
"No way!" Ye Qi ran in the lead, sticking out her tongue and making a face to provoke others.
Seeing this, they couldn't help but laugh at how childish the two of them were.
Tired of chasing after it, Yi Xing could only wave his hand and say, "Never mind, it's just a photo."
Let's go back and keep eating his sugarcane!
night.
They found a place to have a barbecue and also ordered milk tea, fruit tea, and late-night snacks to be delivered.
They chatted in small groups, yet it seemed as if they were chatting together.
Ye Qi looked up at the brilliant starry sky. A cold wind blew by, and the flames on the barbecue grill burned brightly, dispelling the chill.
This experience was too wonderful; it felt like a dream.
But it is absolutely true.
She once saw a quote on a short video:
"Friends are family members you choose yourself."
She looked around and saw a group of people chatting and laughing, while others listened attentively in silence. She suddenly chuckled softly.
But the sound of laughter was drowned out by the cheers and laughter of the crowd.
None of them were perfect, but they were all vibrant and radiant, shining brightly in Ye Qi's heart, and that was enough.
Ye Qi couldn't help but think to herself.
She found a group of good family members.
She built the perfect family in her mind.
"Qiqi, the chicken wings are ready. Do you want some?"
"eat!"
Ye Qi rushed over and picked up the still-hot chicken wings.
Each of them had a skewer of barbecue, and together they took a photo in front of a timed, automatically taking pictures, capturing the essence of their night.
They slept together under the starry night, shared the cold, damp sea breeze, and enjoyed time when different worlds intertwined.
Tonight.
They went all out this time.
Some people forgot to attend class.
Some people forget to go to work.
Some people forgot to work overtime.
Some people forgot to do their homework.
But only—
They all remembered to enjoy this hard-won vacation time.
Ye Qi looked up at the dazzling starlight above her head.
The starlight twinkled in the darkness, and she couldn't help but reach out, trying to grasp it, but she couldn't.
but--
Mi Ai, who was next to her, handed her a starflower.
This starflower shimmers with a faint, starlight-like glow, as if she had grasped a star.
"Ye Qi".
"I'm asking you one last time."
"If you had the courage to start all over again, would you still trust others?"
Ye Qi turned to look at everyone around her, then smiled broadly.
The soft voice almost melted away in the wind.
"I can."
