On this day, the once calm sea suddenly turned into a raging storm, with waves crashing against the rocks on the shore like a ferocious beast.
The sea breeze howled, carrying a salty and astringent taste that rushed towards you, giving you an irresistible force.
Standing on the beach, looking out, all I could see was a vast, boundless sea, with surging waves, one higher than the next.
That endless blue seemed to contain countless secrets and dangers, making people feel fear.
Faced with such a scene, people often feel fear towards the unknown, unsure of what will happen next or whether they can cope with it.
Faced with this vast and boundless ocean, humanity appears so small and fragile.
"It's time to set off." Chen Yuan's voice was steady and firm, as if it contained endless vicissitudes.
His gaze was fixed on the surging waves in the distance, but there was no fear on his face, as if this were just an ordinary occurrence.
The three of them stood quietly on the soft sand, the gentle touch bringing a unique sense of comfort.
Dongfang Yerong stood on the boat and gently helped Li Baobei onto the small boat floating on the sea.
Li Baobei kept glancing back, her gaze piercing through the dense peach grove, eagerly searching for that familiar little figure.
However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not see Xiao Lanyu appear.
A sense of loss welled up inside me, but at the same time, I felt a sense of relief.
Perhaps this is for the best, at least we don't have to face the pain of parting.
She knew that Xiao Lanyu must be very reluctant to see them leave, but she was also afraid to see Xiao Lanyu's reluctant little face.
She worried that she would burst into tears, making the farewell even more painful.
The sea breeze gently caressed my cheeks, bringing a touch of coolness.
Li Baobei took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in her heart.
She told herself that she would definitely come back again!
As the small boat sailed further and further away, the peach grove gradually disappeared from sight.
Li Baobei turned her head and looked at the distant sky, silently praying in her heart: May Xiao Lanyu be well.
At that very moment, in the deepest part of that lush peach blossom forest, a pair of beautiful, lively eyes were silently gazing at the receding boat, remaining silent for a long time.
These eyes are as bright and dazzling as the stars twinkling in the deep night sky, and as crystal clear as the dew rolling on a flower petal in the morning.
Those eyes were full of emotion and stories, but at this moment they chose to remain silent, as if they wanted to bury everything deep in their hearts.
Behind those eyes lie endless thoughts and complex emotions—perhaps the melancholy of parting, perhaps the uncertainty about the future, or perhaps some indescribable expectation…
As time passed, the ship sailed further and further away until it disappeared from sight, accompanied only by the soft rustling of the wind through the treetops.
However, those eyes remained fixed in place, seemingly still absorbed and unable to leave.
Dongfang Yerong and the other two stood on the small boat, which slowly sailed towards the turbulent sea...
On the distant sea, a ferocious demon seemed to be roaring and howling, baring its fangs and claws, ready to devour anyone who dared to trespass into its territory.
Thunder rumbled in the sky, as if the heavens were issuing a warning, foreshadowing an impending downpour.
Surprisingly, despite the turbulent waves around them, the boat Li Baobei was on remained remarkably stable, as if it existed in a different dimension from the raging ocean.
As the distance gradually closed, the terrifying wall of lightning became increasingly clear.
Li Baobei thought to herself: she might really be hit by the rainstorm, and might even be struck by lightning.
Just as she was lost in thought, the ship passed through the seemingly insurmountable thunder wall without any hindrance.
Then, a completely different scene unfolded before my eyes—the once turbulent sea became calm and tranquil, like a giant sapphire set between heaven and earth.
Looking into the distance, one can vaguely see a winding sea route, guiding them towards the other side.
And so, the small boat slowly moved forward along this mysterious sea route, steadily heading towards the land.
After a period of drifting at sea, they finally set foot on solid land. Li Baobei took a deep breath, feeling the breath of the earth, as if all the strength in her body had been released.
She couldn't help but sigh, "The feeling of being down-to-earth is still the most reassuring!"
Chen Yuan stood quietly at the bow of the boat, a faint smile playing on her lips, her eyes revealing a sense of tranquility and peace.
He didn't say much, just waved casually, turned around and steered the small boat back the way he came.
Li Baobei and Dongfang Yerong waved goodbye, watching the old man leave, both able to see the reluctance in each other's eyes.
As time passed, the small boat on the sea gradually sailed further and further away, eventually disappearing on the distant horizon, leaving behind a trail of white contrails.
Li Baobei watched the departing ships, a nameless melancholy welling up in her heart.
But she knew that this was also part of life's journey, and that with every encounter comes a parting.
If it weren't for the long water trail left by the ship and the faintly visible masts and white sails in the distance...
Li Baobei even wondered if anything had ever crossed this boundless, magnificent sea.
