After a while, Zhi Xia was still rowing further and further away. She broke down and cried.
Zhiyu was even more confused. When he saw Zhixia crying, he was at a loss.
" Damned Wang Zhiyu, hurry up and I'll go back. I hate you..." Zhi Xia cried.
His parents, Father Wang and Mother Wang, were laughing on the boat, clutching their stomachs.
Zhiyu was dumbfounded. He quickly swam towards Zhixia.
When Zhi Xia saw Zhiyu swimming over, he continued to curse,""Damn Wang Zhiyu, I will never talk to you again. Wu wu ~"As she spoke, she tied the rope on the lifeboat to Zhiyu's hand.
Zhixia was really frightened.
"Why are you so useless? You cry when you can't swim. I used to be better at swimming than you. Mom teased."
"Do you know how scary it is?" Zhi Xia said with red eyes.
His mother glared at Zhixia and went to cook without saying anything.
Zhixia, are you alright?" Zhiling asked with concern.
"I'm fine. I just drank a lot of water.”Zhi Xia said with a smile.
"Are you alright?" Zhiyu asked with concern.
Zhi Xia ignored him.
During dinner, Zhiyu came over and asked,""Alright, don't be angry. I apologize.”
Zhi Xia still ignored him.
"Zhixia hasn't been in a good mood these past few days? He's in a daze." Zhiling said.
"I don't know." Zhiyu said coldly.
"Is she still angry?" Zhiyu thought.
"School is about to start, and I can't bear to see him go. There's also Dad and Mom. Can we stop for a while?”Zhi Xia thought about it and sighed.
"This book is for you. You can read it when you're in a bad mood. This book is also my favorite.”Zhiyu handed over a copy of Lu Xun's Weeds.
Zhi Xia took the book and thanked him.
"I'll teach you how to swim tonight. Hurry up and learn because I have to go to tuition in a few days.”Zhiyu said.
"Again? I'm scared and don't want to learn anymore.”Zhi Xia said dejectedly.
" You gave up right at the beginning. Zhixia, you're not like you were at the beginning. I still like that sister who always talks to me and refuses to admit defeat.”Zhiyu said with a smile.
"Alright, try to learn it." Zhi Xia said with a smile.
"Can I ask you a question?" Zhi Xia said.
"Of course I can?" Zhiyu said with a smile.
"Do you have someone you like?" Zhi Xia asked.
"Yes! However, he had already liked her in elementary school. He wondered how she was doing now.”Zhiyu replied.
"Why are you suddenly asking this?" Zhiyu asked.
"Do people at this age often have this kind of thought?”Zhi Xiatian really asked.
" At this age, you can only say that you have feelings and feelings for someone. You can't say that you like someone. Liking someone is a responsibility. You're still young. You don't have the responsibility to like someone. Let go of all these. The most important thing now is to study…"
Zhi Xia didn't say anything.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. As the sun set, the two of their smiling faces were so intoxicating.
A week later, after a lot of hard work, Zhi Xia finally learned how to swim. Of course, Zhiyu was the most grateful. If he hadn't taught her step by step, how could Zhixia have learned it so quickly?
"Brother Zhiyu, hurry up, the boat is leaving.”Zhi Xia said loudly.
"Oh? He's here." Zhiyu jumped onto Zhi Xia's boat.
"I'm preparing to go to school. From now on, the ship won't be lively anymore. I won't be able to hear them arguing anymore. Previously, whenever they quarreled, I would scold them. Now that I think about it, I won't be able to hear them anymore.”Wang Ma said.
"Yeah, although I scold them every day, I can't bear to leave.”They were all talking.
" Zhixia turned around and stole a glance at Dad, Mom, Zhiyu, and Zhiling. She prayed in her heart,'I hope you guys take good care of yourselves.'”
Zhi Xia sat at the bow of the boat and put his feet in the water. The boat slowly moved forward. His feet were itchy from the water, but it was also very comfortable and his mood improved.
"I really hope you can go to the county town to study. That way, we can play together again." Zhiling sat down and said.”
"I will. My mother said that I will go to the city to study next year.”Zhi Xia said with a smile.
"What are you talking about? "You're so happy." Zhiyu sat over as well.
"You're so big. We'll squeeze down like this! Wang Zhiyu, did you hear that?" Zhiling shouted.
"It's so comfortable to put your feet in the water.”Zhiyu ignored Zhiling and said.
Zhiling kept pulling Zhiyu, not letting him get close and even pushing him hard. Zhiyu refused to move away and kept squeezing towards Zhiling. Zhiyu was not as strong as Zhiling. Zhi Xia was pushed out and almost fell down. Zhiyu hugged Zhi Xia. The moment Zhiyu hugged Zhi Xia, Zhi Xia blushed. Zhiyu was also very embarrassed. Luckily Zhiyu hugged Zhi Xia and escaped this disaster. Otherwise, he would have to drink water again.
Zhi Xia broke free from Zhiyu, smiled, and thanked him.
"It's okay. It's all Zhiling's fault. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened.”
"You got a bargain and you still want to buy it? "Humph, humph," Zhiling pouted.
Thus, the three of them fell silent.
The wind blew gently, and the originally hot summer became very cool. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, relaxed, raised his hands, and used his body to experience the rhythm of nature. He integrated himself into the illusory wind. If only he could stay at this moment forever.
"Come, give me your luggage." Zhiyu reached out his hand.
Zhi Xia gave Zhiyu his luggage and smiled.
Because the boat was far from shore, Zhi Xia was wearing sneakers and couldn't get off the shore. His father was busy, so when Zhi Xia was about to jump off, he heard a voice from behind,""Don't try to do anything dangerous. No one is responsible for you.”Zhiyu said angrily.
Zhi Xia hesitated for a moment.
"Don't you want to go down?" Zhiyu said.
Zhi Xia climbed onto Zhiyu's back, and Zhiyu carried Zhi Xia down the shore. Everyone looked at the two of them, some pointing and some laughing, but Zhiyu didn't care about what others thought. What would Zhiyu think?
"Is your son and Old Gu's daughter in a relationship?”someone asked Wang Ma.
"No, they're just siblings. Don't talk nonsense. It will affect them.”Mother Wang said with a forced smile.
"Brother, don't tell me you really like Zhixia? That's true. She's beautiful, has a good figure, and has a good temper. If I were a boy, I would also be moved.”Zhiling said evilly.
"Alright, don't think too much. I only treat her as a sister, just like you.”Zhiyu said.
When Zhi Xia heard the conversation between Zhiyu and Zhiling, his heart felt like it had been knocked over. He felt very upset.
Some people say that memories are like a river, and the water that flows down leads to darkness and loneliness.
"It seems that I'm used to waiting, and I simply think that waiting will come. However, he had missed out on the happiness that could be captured while waiting. When he lost it, he deeply regretted not grabbing it back then. Actually, waiting was a very laughable mistake. He knew that waiting for something that he didn't know would come.”
" Zhi Xia took out a book from her bag. It was a gift from Zhiyu. The book looked old and worn, and it was obvious that it had been flipped through many times. There was a photo of Zhiyu in the book. He had a smile on his face and thick eyebrows. Zhi Xia looked at Zhiyu's photo again and again, as if she could never get enough of it.”
In the corner of the last page of the book, there was a passage: "I remember you once said that if you like someone, you have to be responsible, and I can never afford to be responsible.”It was written by Zhi Xia.
As his heart moved to the next stop, Zhi Xia was both happy and sad at the thought of getting home. He was happy because it felt good to be home, but sad because he knew what to say to Zhiyu. What else could he say?
"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Zhi Xia said happily.
" You're back..." His parents happily handed over the luggage in Zhixia's hands.
"You're still so thin, but you've grown a lot taller. You've become a sect leader (beautiful) and you're an adult.”Auntie Chen said.
"Only nineteen years old? "She won't marry so early..." her mother said.
"Jiayan, it's not good to keep a grown girl. On this island, girls usually get married very early. If they get married too late, there won't be any good families left. Look at Wang Zhiling, she's already married to someone. She's rich and handsome.”Auntie Chen said.
"Is Zhiling married? Why didn't she tell me? Zhixia suddenly felt down. They used to be such good friends, but now that they had decided on their own life's major events, they gradually drifted apart. It turned out that time could really take everything away. It was just a matter of time. Although it could not completely heal your scars, at least, when you suddenly thought of something or someone, you just smiled faintly and your heart ached.”
"Oh right, I heard that Old Wang's son, what's his name again? He brought his girlfriend back this year. Say, this is really fast. In the blink of an eye, he's grown up from a child and is about to start a family.”Auntie Chen continued.
"Then wouldn't the Old Wang family have double happiness? The daughter is getting married, and the son is getting married.”his mother said.
"I heard that his girlfriend is also a soldier. She came out of the army and is very powerful.”His aunt also became nosy.
"Zhiyu, he, he, brought his girlfriend back? Zhi Xia sat down unconsciously and the phone in his hand slipped out.”
Zhixia, what's wrong?" His mother asked with concern.
"Mom, it's fine. Maybe it's because of motion sickness and the boat ride. I'm a little tired.”Zhi Xia said.
"Alright, you sleep first. I'll call you when I'm done cooking.”her mother said with concern.
"Good!" Zhi Xia held back his tears. She ran upstairs in a panic.
"She sat on the bed and looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled too. Gu Zhixia, it's time to wake up. You're completely hopeless. What was his girlfriend? Soldier, what about you? If you have nothing, you might as well be an unemployed third-year student!”
