He grew up in California, a city known worldwide for its sunshine and beaches.
His friends are all outdoor sports fanatics, especially his roommate, who seems to want to spend every 24 hours of the day on a surfboard.
Like other foreigners, he always acted with exceptional enthusiasm and enjoyed sharing his views with Huo Yeshuo without reservation.
"Edward, surfing is the best sport, do you know why?"
"Because it combines the two most beautiful things in the world. The sea and the sunshine! The sea and the sunshine! My God, just thinking about it makes me want to cry."
Whenever this happens, Huo Yeshuo would always turn on his computer and browse through the papers with a blank expression, seriously considering the necessity of resubmitting his application for a single dormitory room to the school.
Because he dislikes sunshine, the sea, and incessant chatter.
The sunlight was blinding, and being exposed to it made him sweat. The sweat made his clothes stick to his skin, and the feeling was suffocating.
Seawater is very dirty and may contain various pollutants, or even chemicals.
Moreover, safe beaches are often crowded with people. Black, white, yellow, all kinds of skin exposed to the air would make him feel irritable and nauseous.
Although the strict upbringing he received from a young age made Huo Yeshuo always appear polite to outsiders, he was actually a rather impatient person.
Did you hear what I said?
The girl next to him seemed a little annoyed by his distraction. She pouted her lips, and because her lower lip was fuller, it turned outward at a greater angle, revealing a patch of tender, bright red flesh inside.
"I'm sorry." Huo Yeshuo suppressed the strange thoughts that were growing in his heart like vines, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he were apologizing to her very solemnly.
"I didn't hear you just now, could you say it again?"
"I don't really want to talk to you right now." Lin Zhenzhen threw a tantrum, turning her face to the car window, looking like she didn't want to talk to him.
Huo Ye was silent for a few seconds: "Then let's talk about it when you want to."
His idea was simple: he just felt that the choice should be given to her and he didn't want to force her.
However, the other party showed no appreciation whatsoever. Instead, she stared at him with wide eyes, her gaze filled with disbelief, as if making a silent accusation.
Huo Yeshuo realized he might have said something wrong, but he didn't understand what it was. He could only patiently put the car back in neutral and turn to look at the person next to him.
"Then tell me now, I'm listening carefully."
Lin Zhenzhen's eyes reddened even more, like a wronged rabbit. Even though she had already won him over, she still looked at him pitifully, attracting even more affection.
Do you think I'm being unreasonable?
Huo Yeshuo opened his mouth, but then swallowed the word "a little" that was already on the tip of his tongue and said "no" instead.
Lin Zhenzhen finally looked a little happier.
Her lips curved slightly upward, and the corners of her eyes shimmered with a watery light, like a disturbed pool of clear water rippling gently.
Let's go to the beach together this summer.
Huo Yeshuo looked up: "Why do you suddenly want to go to the beach?"
"Because I've never been to the beach."
Lin Zhenzhen stretched out her hand, listing the things she wanted to do one by one.
"We'll go collect seashells, watch the sunrise, run after the waves in the sunlight, bury our feet in the wet sand, and oh right, we can also go beachcombing."
Lin Zhenzhen moved closer, craning her neck, raising her chin slightly, and staring at him intently with her clear black and white eyes.
Do you know what beachcombing is?
Huo Yeshu remained silent.
The slight tickling sensation from her eyelashes brushing against the bridge of her nose was still lingering on her skin.
Not only did it not subside, but it was also slowly spreading towards his body.
Like her, she was like a vigorous vine, gradually entwining and capturing his heart.
