The next second, the world spun around, and her back sank into the soft sand. Sanjiao Chuxia was propped up above her, the moonlight streaming down from behind him, casting a silver edge on his outline.
............................................................................................................
……ROAD WORK AHEAD……
On this day, Sanjiao Chuxia was still sitting on the beach, looking up at the distant sea level. A thin layer of golden light was appearing where the sea and the sky met.
Suddenly, a small black dot appeared on the sea in the distance.
Sanjiao Chuxia's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and the sand under his butt seemed to become hot.
He quickly stood up, ran to a reef on the seashore, climbed up using his hands and feet, and stood on the high place to look out.
The black spot gradually grew larger and its outline became clearer - it was a white ship with a slender hull. Its bow cut through the calm sea, stirring up layers of waves.
Here he comes.
For some reason, Sanjiao Chuxia knew that this was the ship she was waiting for.
He jumped off the reef and ran along the coastline, splashing sand under his feet.
The ship was getting closer and closer, and Sanjiao Chuxia could even see the mottled paint on the hull and the busy figures on the deck. He stopped and stood by the sea, letting the waves wet his shoes.
The boat approached the shore, the gangway slowly lowered, and several strangers walked down. They were wearing clothes that were completely different from those of the islanders, and their faces had unfamiliar expressions.
Sanjiao Chuxia's eyes wandered among the crowd, and suddenly, a bright blue color caught his sight.
It was a little girl, about his age, with blue hair as clear as the sky, shining slightly in the sunlight.
She was holding an exquisite doll, wearing a white hat on her head and a navy blue dress, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind, like a flower blooming by the sea.
As if sensing Sanjiao Chuxia's gaze, the little girl turned her head and met his gaze.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still. Those eyes were like amber soaked in sunlight, sparkling with warm light.
He felt as if his heart skipped a beat and he unconsciously took a step back, but was firmly nailed to the spot by an inexplicable attraction.
The little girl tilted her head slightly, a hint of curiosity flashing in her golden eyes. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile, like the first ray of sunshine in the morning, warm but not dazzling.
She must be the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family.
Thinking of what he overheard yesterday and the bodyguards in black suits around him, Sanjiao Chuxia quickly came to this conclusion.
The little girl didn't stay here for long. She turned around and followed the young man, her steps as light as a fluttering butterfly.
Sanjiao Chuxia stood there, watching her figure gradually disappear into the distance, a feeling he had never experienced before welling up in his heart. Those golden eyes were like a brand etched into his memory.
But for some reason, the throbbing in his heart told him that this was the person he was waiting for, but he always felt that the person he was waiting for should be a boy.
………………
afternoon.
Sanjiao Hatsuka stood at the door of the Toyokawa family villa, holding a basket of freshly picked fruit, feeling a little uneasy. He looked up at the magnificent building before him. The wooden walls looked even more mysterious in the sunlight, and the fountain in the garden was spewing crystal water.
He took a deep breath, hid behind the wall, and peeked out to see the little girl from that morning leaning on the railing, staring blankly out.
"Hello!"
Hearing the sound, the little girl turned her head and her eyes fell on Sanjiao Chuxia. Her eyes widened slightly, as if she was a little surprised.
"You're...the guy from this morning?"
Sanjiao Chuxia nodded, walked quickly to the railing, and raised the fruit basket in her hand.
"Yes, it's me." He said with a smile, his tone very warm. "Welcome to our island. I brought some fruit and I'd like you to try it."
The little girl looked at the fruit basket, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She reached out her hand, gently took the basket, and looked down at the fruit inside.
“It looks delicious.”
"This is something we grow on our island. It's very fresh. Take it home and try it."
She nodded, a bright smile on her face.
"Thank you. My name is Toyokawa Shoko, what's yours?"
"My name is Sanjiao Chuxia!" he said excitedly. "You can call me Xia. Everyone in the village calls me that because my name is pronounced the same as my sister's."
"Chuxia, what a nice name."
Toyokawa Shoko whispered his name. Her voice was beautiful, the most beautiful voice Sanjiao Hatsuka had ever heard, except for her sister and mother.
"Then...can I call you Xiaoxiang?" he asked tentatively in a low voice.
"Sure." Shoko Toyokawa nodded slightly.
"Great!"
"Xia, do you often come here to play?"
"I come here occasionally, but this time I came here specifically to look for Xiaoxiang."
Sanjiao Chuxia's straightforward words made her a little shy, and a faint blush appeared on her delicate little face like a porcelain doll.
"What do you want to see me for?"
"Because I want to make friends with Xiaoxiang!" There was a hint of anticipation in his tone.
"My mom told me that you guys are from Tokyo, Xiaoxiang. I've never been to Tokyo before. Can you tell me about what's going on there?"
"Okay, come in and sit down, I'll tell you slowly."
Toyokawa Shoko smiled, turned around and led him into the villa. Sanjiao Hatsuka followed behind her, her eyes involuntarily looking around.
The interior decoration of the villa is luxurious and elegant, with exquisite oil paintings hanging on the walls, soft carpets on the floor, and a faint fragrance in the air.
The two came to the living room, and Shoko Toyokawa motioned him to sit down, and then asked the butler to bring tea and snacks.
"Has Xia lived on this island since childhood?"
Sanjiao Chuxia nodded: "Yes, I grew up here since I was a child."
"It's wonderful. I've always lived in the city and have never seen such a beautiful sea and sky."
Although it sounds a bit Versailles, this is actually what Shoko Toyokawa really thinks.
After all, she is still a child. Compared to the conveniences of life that adults have to worry about, she now prefers beautiful scenery and an environment where she can play freely.
"If you like, I can take you around the island," he said. "I know a lot of fun places, like picking up shells on the beach and seeing the most beautiful sunset on the top of the mountain."
Toyokawa Shoko's eyes lit up.
"Really? That's great!"
Looking at her excitement, Sanjiao Chuxia felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in his heart.
"Then it's a deal. I'll take you to collect shells tomorrow. But in exchange, you have to tell me about Tokyo today."
"Thank you, Xia, you are such a good person."
At this moment, Sanjiao Chuxia's stomach made a "gurgling" sound. He was stunned for a moment, then touched his stomach awkwardly, a blush creeping up his cheeks.
"Oh... sorry." He said in a low voice, looking a little embarrassed.
In order to arrive earlier, Sanjiao Chuxia went to pick fruits with a basket without even having a full meal.
When Shoko Toyokawa heard the voice, she was a little confused at first, but after seeing his actions, she realized what was happening and couldn't help laughing.
Her laughter was clear and melodious, like wind chimes swaying gently in the breeze.
"Have some snacks first, and then I'll tell you about Tokyo."
"Ah."
Sanjiao Hatsuxia picked up a caramel donut from the table, put it to her mouth and took a bite, and the familiar sweetness spread in her mouth.
Hmm? Why does it smell so familiar to me? [1]
Before he could think of an answer, Shoko Toyokawa began to talk about things in Tokyo.
"Tokyo is a very lively place. There are tall buildings everywhere, people coming and going on the streets, and when the neon lights come on at night, the whole city is like a city that never sleeps."
Sanjiao Chuxia listened attentively, her eyes full of longing.
"That sounds amazing!" he said. "So what does Xiaoxiang usually do in Tokyo?"
The other party smiled and began to talk excitedly.
"I usually go shopping with my mother. There are many shopping malls in Tokyo that have everything," she said with a hint of excitement in her tone.
"There are also amusement parks. I like going to Disneyland the most. There are so many fun rides and the fireworks show is so beautiful."
He was stunned by what he heard. All kinds of names he had never heard of entered his mind, as if the door to a new world had opened.
"Dion? What's that?"
"You don't even know Disney?" Toyokawa Shoko was surprised he didn't know. "It's the most famous amusement park in the world. There's Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and lots of other characters from cartoons."
Sanjiao Chuxia scratched his head and showed an embarrassed smile on his face.
"We don't have these things here. I've never heard of them."
"It's okay, I'll take you there when I have the chance."
She patted her small chest with a confident smile on her face.
Toyokawa Shoko continued to tell Mikado Hatsuka all kinds of interesting things about Tokyo. She told him how crowded the Tokyo subway was, how delicious the street food was, and her favorite cartoons and music.
Sanjiao Chuxia was so engrossed in listening that he felt as if he were already in that bustling city. He found that Xiangzi was not only lovely, but also knew everything and could do everything. Every word she said filled him with novelty and excitement.
"Xiangzi, you are really amazing!" He couldn't help but sigh, "You know so much."
"That's because I live in Tokyo."
…Construction completed…
As the heat burst out in his body, Sanjiao Chuhua's tearful eyes suddenly widened, as if he had finally confirmed some kind of eternal connection.
The two collapsed onto the beach, exhausted. The boy held the girl tightly in his arms. She rested her cheek against his chest, listening to his still-beating heart.
"Does it hurt?" Sanjiao Chuxia asked softly, her fingers gently combing through her messy blonde hair.
Sanjiao Chuhua shook her head and rubbed her lips against his chest: "Very warm..."
She had never felt such a reassuring warmth. His heartbeat was like the most gentle lullaby, making her unconsciously relax all her strength.
"Xia, we will be together forever, right?"
"Of course, Xiaochu..." Sanjiao Chuxia lowered her head and kissed the top of her head, her voice firm and gentle, "We will be together for the rest of our lives, never apart..."
"Then...where's Xiaoxiang?"
"I'll talk to Xiaoxiang."
Hearing his gentle words, Sanjiao Chuhua suddenly propped herself up and looked straight into his eyes.
"Xia, do you really not mind? I'm so willful and have done so many excessive things to you..."
"I've already said I don't hate those things." His voice was tinged with laughter. "If you insist, isn't it even more excessive for me to pretend I didn't even realize Xiaochu's feelings?"
The waves gently lapped the shore, and she nestled back into Sanjiao Chuxia's arms, her voice so soft that it was almost inaudible: "Xia... I love you the most..."
"Yeah, me too." He tightened his arms, "I like Xiaochu the most."
The night breeze blew by, carrying the scent of the sea. The two figures became increasingly blurred in the moonlight, as if blending into the quiet beach. Only the sound of waves crashing on the shore and their whispers to each other remained.
