The two continued to look for shells on the beach, occasionally making cries of surprise.
Although Shoko Toyokawa has lived in the city since she was a child and has rarely had the opportunity to come into contact with nature like this, her movements are not clumsy at all.
She carefully picked up the shells that she thought were beautiful, wiped them clean with the handkerchief she carried with her, and put them into the small pocket in front of her.
"Xia, look at this!" Toyokawa Shoko suddenly picked up a pink shell. "Its color is so beautiful, just like cherry blossoms!"
Sanjiao Chuxia leaned over to take a look and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, the color of this shell is so special, I've never seen anything like it before."
In order to distinguish it from the shells she had picked up before, Shoko Toyokawa wiped it clean and wrapped it in a handkerchief.
"I'm going to take this back and put it in my room so I can see it every day."
A satisfied smile appeared on her face.
Seeing Toyokawa Shoko's happy face, Sankaku Hatsuka's mood also became better. For some reason, he always felt that there was a kind of magic in the other person that made him want to get closer.
"Xiaoxiang, do you like the sea?" he suddenly asked.
As if she had not expected Sanka Hatsuka to suddenly ask this question, Toyokawa Shoko turned her gaze to the sea level in the distance, thought for a moment, and nodded.
"Well, the sea is beautiful. It gives me a very spacious and relaxing feeling."
"I love the sea, too. In my free time, I often go to the beach with Xiaochu, picking up shells, building sandcastles, and sometimes even catching little crabs and shrimps."
Shoko Toyokawa turned around and looked at him with some curiosity.
"Touch the little crab? How do you touch it?"
Sanjiao Hatsuxia blinked and smiled smugly.
"Do you want to know? I can teach you."
"Okay, I want to try it!"
"Then let's find a shallow area and I'll teach you how to catch crabs!"
He stood up, brushed the sand off his hands, and took Toyokawa Shoko's hand.
The two walked along the coastline for a while and found a rocky beach with relatively shallow water. Sanjiao Chuxia took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his trouser legs, and walked into the water.
"Xiaoxiang, take off your shoes too and put them on the beach a little further away, otherwise they will get wet by the tide."
Toyokawa Shoko hesitated for a moment, but eventually took off her small leather shoes and white socks, revealing her white and tender feet. She stuffed the socks into her small leather shoes and placed them neatly aside.
"Be careful, don't step on the gravel, or you'll get cut."
"Well, I see."
Toyokawa Shoko nodded and followed Sanka Hatsuka into the water.
The cold sea water made her shiver, but she soon got used to it.
"Then what?" Toyokawa Shoko asked curiously.
Sanjiao Chuxia smiled, bent down, and put his hand underwater between the reefs.
"Small crabs usually hide under reefs like this. We need to approach them gently and then seize the opportunity to grab their bodies."
He demonstrated the movements while speaking. Toyokawa Shoko followed his example, put her hand into the water, and began to look for small crabs.
The two searched carefully, afraid of disturbing the crabs.
Not long after, the sharp-eyed Sanjiao Chuxia spotted a small crab resting on the reef. He quickly slowed his breathing, gave Toyokawa Shoko a look, and pointed at it.
"Oh! I see."
Sanjiao Chuxia nodded: "Come on, let Xiaoxiang see how I catch it."
He leaned down gently, trying not to affect the flow of water. When his hand was only a short distance away from the little crab, he suddenly increased his speed and reached out to grab it.
"We caught it!" Shoko Toyokawa shouted excitedly, looking even more excited than Sanka Hatsuka.
Sanjiao Chuxia smiled as he pulled his hand out of the water and carefully spread out his palm. A tiny crab lay in his palm, its eight short legs waving non-stop, as if protesting this sudden "kidnapping."
"Look, this is the little crab."
Shoko Toyokawa took a closer look, her eyes full of curiosity and surprise.
“It’s so small and cute!”
She reached out and gently touched the crab's back shell, and the crab immediately shrank back a few steps to the side.
"You can try it too," Sanjiao Chuxia put the crab on her palm, "be careful, don't let it pinch you."
Shoko Toyokawa took the crab, felt it crawling gently in her hand, and couldn't help laughing.
"It seems to be tickling me!" she said with a smile, her voice clear and pleasant.
"Xia, can I take it home and raise it?"
"Well..." He hesitated for a moment, "It's actually not easy to raise small crabs. They need the right seawater, temperature, and food..."
After hearing what Sanjiao Chuxia said, her eyes dimmed slightly, but soon became bright again.
"You're right, let's put it back into the sea."
"Ah."
Sanjiao Hatsuxia nodded and watched Fengchuan Xiangzi put the little crab back into the crevice of the reef. The little crab quickly disappeared between the reefs and crawled into the depths.
"Look, it seems to have come home."
"Well, it will be very happy."
The two walked out of the water and put on their shoes and socks. Although Toyokawa Shoko's shoes and socks were a little wet, she didn't care.
They held hands and returned to the beach.
"Xiaoxiang, are you having fun?"
"Very happy!" Toyokawa Shoko nodded excitedly. "This is my first time at the beach. It feels very fresh and interesting."
Chapter 107: As long as Xiaochu pretends to be me, it will be fine
"By the way, Xiaoxiang." Sanjiao Chuxia suddenly stopped and looked back at Toyokawa Shoko, his eyes flashing with excitement.
"Let's go to the top of the mountain to watch the sunset! From up there, the view of the entire seaside is so beautiful."
"Okay, that sounds great!"
"Then let's go!"
Sanka Hatsuka stretched out his hand, and Toyokawa Shoko hesitated for a moment, but still put her hand in his palm.
The two of them walked up the mountain along the path by the sea. The path was a bit bumpy, but not particularly difficult. Sanjiao Hatsuka walked in front, looking back from time to time to check on Toyokawa Shoko, fearing she would fall.
Although Toyokawa Shoko was not used to mountain roads, she was able to walk steadily with his help.
"Xia, there are a lot of flowers here."
"Yes, there are very few people here, so the flowers and plants can grow freely."
As he spoke, he picked a small blue flower that was similar in color to Toyokawa Shoko's hair and handed it to her.
"For you."
"Thank you."
She took the flower, put it to her nose and smelled it, and a faint fragrance came to her nose.
"The top of the mountain is not far away. We will be there in a while. We can just catch the sunset." Sanjiao Hatsuka held Toyokawa Shoko's hand and continued to walk up.
Finally, they reached the top of the mountain, where there was a flat rock from which they could overlook the entire sea.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the sea, dyeing the water golden and sparkling, as if countless stars are twinkling.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" she couldn't help but exclaimed.
"I'm not kidding you, the sunset here is one of the most beautiful scenery on the island."
Toyokawa Shoko nodded, unable to take her eyes off the sea for a long time.
"Every time I see scenery like this, I feel particularly peaceful." Sanjiao Chuxia stood beside her, her gaze also cast into the distance, "The sea, the sunset... they seem to be telling something."
They stood quietly on the top of the mountain, letting the afterglow of the setting sun shine on them. The sea breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, but also making people feel particularly comfortable.
At this time, Sanjiao Chuxia suddenly said, "Xiaoxiang, I actually want to ask you for a favor."
"what's up?"
"..."
………………
In the next few days, Sanjiao Chuxia went out with Toyokawa Shoko every day, to the beach, the mountaintop, the countryside, and the wild...
Toyokawa Shoko invited him to go bug hunting, and he caught a large rhinoceros beetle. Then a large spider appeared, and they both screamed.
Sanjiao Chuxia told Sanjiao Chuhua all of this in detail.
"I even told Xiaoxiang that I wanted to become an idol in Tokyo someday, and she promised to cheer me on."
“Isn’t that good?”
Sanjiao Chuhua looked at him with a smile, but there was an inexplicable emotion in this smile.
I also want to go out and play with Xiaoxiang, and I want to stay with Xia all day. If I weren't that guy's illegitimate daughter, the three of us would definitely have a lot of fun together...
Looking at her increasingly complicated expression, Sanjiao Hatsuka sighed.
"Xiaochu, you go in my place tomorrow." He suddenly said.
"Eh?"
"I've been hanging out with Xiaoxiang every day these days, and I'm a little tired, but I don't want to break my promise, so Xiaochu, can you go play with Xiaoxiang on my behalf?"
"But, I..."
"But Xiaochu was told by her mother not to meet Xiaoxiang, right?"
"Xia, how do you know?"
"When the lunch boxes were delivered that day, I was worried and eavesdropped. I'm sorry." Sanjiao Chuxia had an apologetic expression on her face.
"But it's okay, Xiaochu, just dress up as me and I'll give you my clothes. No one will be able to tell us apart.
Or, Xiaochu won't even agree to the request of a younger brother like me~"
He looked at Sanjiao Chuhua with pleading eyes.
For example, if it was Xia's request, then wouldn't it be considered a violation of my mother's instructions if I went to see Xiaoxiang?
She subconsciously found a reason for wanting to go out and play with Xiaoxiang.
This is also the reason that Sanjiao Chuxia found for her.
"Okay then, but don't tell mom, Xia."
"Ah."
………………
Chu Hua, wearing early summer clothes, stood at the door of Fengchuan's villa and secretly looked inside, his movements exactly the same as his brother's.
Outside the villa, a little girl with blue hair was lying on the railing, seemingly waiting for someone to arrive.
For some reason, Sankaku Hatsuka knew that she was Toyokawa Shoko.
At this moment, Toyokawa Shoko seemed to feel that someone was watching her, so she turned her head and met the eyes of Sankaku Hatsuka.
"Hello." She greeted the other party.
Sanjiao Chuhua took a step back, subconsciously wanting to run away, but Toyokawa Shoko trotted over and took her hand.
"Xia, what are we going to play today?"
"I'm not Chuxia..."
Her voice was so soft that even Shoko Toyokawa, who was standing opposite her, seemed not to hear it clearly.
"summer?"
"I am..." Sanjiao Chuhua bit her lower lip in confusion, then smiled exactly the same as Sanjiao Chuxia, "Let's go catch some bugs. I know where there are some big butterflies."
