Chapter 10 "Summer Festival" Part [-]

(One)

Xiamen is a bustling and bustling city.

But it is so peaceful on Gulangyu Island.

"My dear, you said you would accompany me. Then let's go see the sea." Xiaoyue took Lixia's hand and said.

Lixia took out his hand and patted Xiaoyue's shoulder impatiently and said, "Didn't we just go there this morning?"

Xiaoyue mumbled and said, "Can we go again? Just one more time."

Lixia shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, but it's too hot. Just wait a minute while I go to my grandma's shop to buy two bottles of orange soda."

Xiaoyue nodded and smiled, showing six white teeth.

Rikka couldn't do anything about Xiaoyue, it was like this every time.

Look at the sea, we live by the sea.

But Lixia just doesn't know why Xiaoyue likes to watch the sea so much.

Grandma's shop is located on the slope of Gulangyu Island. You can see it by walking along the graffiti wall.

At this time, Xiaoyue was walking slowly looking into the distance, and she could barely see a hint of the beach.

Xiaoyue was fascinated by what she saw. Beach shoes of the wrong size fell off her feet countless times.

Those beach shoes are very big for Xiaoyue's size 35.Obviously these beach shoes do not belong to Satsuki, the real owner of the shoes should be Rikka.

Xiaoyue still remembers the first time she saw Lixia.

Lixia and Xiaoyue are both from Xiamen Gulangyu Art and Music College, but they are in different classes.

Xiaoyue is learning the most famous guzheng on Gulangyu Island.

But Li Xia, who is not doing his job, really likes the guitar in his hand.

I still remember that at that time, Li Xia did not dare to perform in public.In order to exercise my courage, I had to go to the beach where there were a lot of people to play guitar and practice.

Large beach shoes stood on the beach, and the guitar slowly played the tune.

Xiaoyue came over from a distance because her seat was occupied by this young boy.

Xiaoyue was so angry that she planned to go up and comment.

At that time, Xiaoyue was wearing a small floral skirt and white flip-flops.

Rikka looked fascinated.

When Xiaoyue saw Lixia's fascinated eyes, her cheeks turned red, and all the words in her mind were forgotten.Even: "Hello, classmate." They all said it tremblingly, and in their hurry, they accidentally stepped on and broke the straps of their own flip-flops.

Li Xia made up for his mistake like a gentleman and gave Xiao Yue his beach shoes.Then he sat next to Xiaoyue and played the guitar.

From that moment on, Satsuki discovered Rikka beside her.From that moment on, the beach shoes that were one size larger than my feet were always on my body.

Li Xia ran in the alley covered with graffiti and ran towards the small shop No. 63 on the slope.

Rikka actually hates the sea very much.

Li Xia's father was once a famous catcher in Gulangyu Island.

You must know that on Gulangyu Island, the quiet alleys are either made by musicians or engaged in seafood.

Li Xia's father went to sea five years ago and never came back.I heard that in order to save a person, I delayed my return to port and capsized the boat when a storm came.

The Beginning of Summer waited painfully for three days on the beach at the pier.

Until her mother dragged Lixia back home and locked Lixia in the attic upstairs.

Li Xia still knocked on the attic door stupidly and said that she was going to wait for her father to come back.

Rikka's mother's words made Rikka calm down.

I remember that Li Xia’s mother cried and said, “Li Xia, you are now the only man in the family that my grandma and I can rely on.”

Later, Lixia became afraid of the sea and hated going to the beach.

As for Xiaoyue, whom she met while playing guitar that time, Lixia felt that it was fate.

But Xiaoyue is just the opposite, she likes the beach very much.

When Lixia arrived at the shop, grandma was sitting at the door taking care of the customers.
"Grandma." Rikka shouted happily. "Oh, Li. Why are you here?" Grandma waved happily.

Grandma’s hands rubbed the calluses Ritsuka had worn out while playing the guitar, although Ritsuka didn’t feel anything.But my heart feels warm.

"Why are you thicker than the calluses on my hands, grandma's?"

"Grandma, you're here again. If you keep saying that, I won't come over."

"Okay, what do you want me to do with grandma?"

"Grandma, two bottles of orange soda." Lixia said.

"Okay, you wait."

Rikka said goodbye to her grandmother, took two bottles of orange soda, and ran in the direction of Xiaoyue.

Xiaoyue waited stupidly, and Lixia finally came back.

I still have my grandma’s orange soda in my hand. There is nothing more comfortable than drinking grandma’s soda in the hot summer.

Xiaoyue held Lixia on her arm and walked towards the beach at the pier.

Rikka had asked Xiaoyue several times why she had to come here every day and sit quietly for several hours.

And the longer you wait, the more frequent you go.

Xiaoyue would look into the distance every time and say meaningfully: "My dear, are you willing to wait with me?"

When Rikka heard Xiaoyue's voice, she couldn't help but nod in agreement.

The two of them sat on the beach, Xiaoyue leaning on Rikka's shoulder and looking at the sea in front of her in trance.

Li Xia silently thought about the six strings of his guitar.

The sun shines on their bodies, and the sea breeze adds a bottle of orange soda.The feeling of summer heat is completely forgotten by them.

As soon as I sat down, it was another afternoon.

(three)

a few days later.

Lixia supported Xiaoyue and said anxiously: "You must have heatstroke. Let's go home."

Xiaoyue looked into Lixia's eyes and said, "My dear, can you accompany me to see the sea?"

Xiaoyue's voice was so gentle. Rikka tremblingly grabbed Xiaoyue and said, "Let's go home. Your body can no longer see the sea."

Xiaoyue struggled and said: "My dear, you promised. You are willing to stay with me all the time."

Lixia gritted her teeth, picked up Xiaoyue and ran back to Xiaoyue's house.

"No, no." Xiaoyue struggled and shouted.

This is the first time that Rikka doesn't listen to Satsuki.

Xiaoyue was carried home by Xia Li, who put Xiaoyue on the bed.

Xiaoyue struggled feebly and said, "Don't you like me anymore?"

Lixia looked at Xiaoyue speechlessly and said, "No."

"Nothing? Why don't you accompany me to see the sea?" An angry Xiaoyue pushed Lixia out of her room.

Xiaoyue's home, Xiaoyue lives alone on Gulangyu Island.When she was 11 years old, her parents left Gulangyu Island and went to work far away from Xiamen.I heard it was very successful, but I was so busy that I didn’t have time to come back and check it out.

Xiaoyue was crying in the room, and Lixia saw Xiaoyue's guzheng outside the door.

Xiaoyue's guzheng has sixteen strings, but her guitar only has six.

Rikka doesn't know guzheng, but he remembers the only piece that Xiaoyue taught him step by step.

The intermittent singing of fish boats came from Xiaoyue's guzheng.

Xiaoyue stopped crying and walked out of her room.

Xiaoyue looked at Lixia and said slowly: "My dear, are you willing to wait with me?"

Rikka didn't know what to do at this time and looked at Xiaoyue.

He didn't know why Xiaoyue went to the beach to watch the sea again and again, as if she was possessed.
