    The next two years were the happiest two years of Xue Xia’s life.

    She and Wei Chinian were together.

    Sixteen or seventeen is the right age for love to sprout.

    Normally, Wei Chinnian would go to Xue Xia’s school to wait for her to finish her late self-study classes, and then take her around most of the town along the winding trails on his bicycle to earn rare time to be alone.

    Xue Xia would grab the hem of the other person’s clothes, rest his face on Wei Chinian’s back, and tell him what happened at school today.

    Usually Xue Xia chatters, while Wei Chinian listens silently.

    During holidays, Xue Xia would sit at the door and take care of her grandma’s stall, where she could clearly see Wei Chinian working.

    Although a boy is always gray and his hands and face are inevitably stained with oil, his focused expression, serious look, and the protruding veins on his fair skin when his sleeves are rolled up, always make Xue Xia blush and her heart beat, and her eyes follow the boy’s figure unconsciously.

    As soon as the lunch break comes, the two of them will excuse themselves to go shopping and meet in the back alley.

    Holding hands and kissing on the mouth, no matter how innocent the action, is, it is so sweet that even sugar water cannot melt it.

    Just like that, time flies by.

    Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the four seasons evolve.

    Day after day, year after year.

    Xue Xia has thought about it.

    She couldn’t bear to leave her grandparents, so she planned to go to university in a nearby city so that she could go home and visit her two parents every week.

    “My grandpa’s boat used to be parked there.”

    Before the college entrance examination, Wei Chinian took Xue Xia, who had skipped a self-study class, to the seaside of the fishing village where she was born.

    Xue Xia nimbly descended from the breakwater and jumped over several wave-absorbing blocks one after another.

    “He supported me and my grandma by going out to sea to fish.”

    Wei Chinian followed Xue Xia step by step and held her hand.

    “Be careful.”

    “Well, don’t worry, I used to sneak out with my grandpa when I was a kid.”

    Xue Xia turned around and smiled.

    Her teeth are white and her black eyes are bright. With the sea breeze blowing from time to time, the girl’s hair is flying in the air like water waves.

    Wei Chinian looked at her quietly.

    The sunshine at the turn of spring and summer was very bright, but it was far less bright than the smile Xue Xia showed inadvertently.

    Already very accustomed to Wei Chinian’s gaze, Xue Xia was shy and embarrassed at the beginning but gradually got used to it later.

    She even enjoyed it very much, as the other party only saw her own state.

    That made Xue Xia feel that she was Wei Chinian’s whole world, just like Wei Chinian was also her whole world.

    Of course, there are also grandma and grandpa.

    The corners of Xue Xia’s lips curled up even more.

    She bent down, picked up a pebble that fell at her feet, and threw it into the sea.

    The water splashed and then dissipated, submerged in the breaking waves that kept hitting the shore.

    “I like Wei Chinian!” Suddenly, she shouted towards the sea.”I will always be with Wei Chinian from now on!”

    Xue Xia’s voice was high and loud, waking up the seabirds parked on the other side.

    The green-yellow slender mouth opened, and the white wing mirrors were raised high, showing off the muscular figure while also revealing the slate gray coverts and crystal white lower feathers. With the flapping of the wings, they slipped into the sight of Xue Xia and Wei Chinian, and then quickly accelerated away from the water, flying into the air in groups.

    “You know, my grandpa used to say that when they fly close to the sea, it means the weather will be fine in the future. If they wander along the shore, the weather may become bad.”

    “Seagulls can predict even storms.”

    Wei Chinian lowered his head and happened to bump into Xue Xia’s sparkling pupils.

    So he asked cooperatively: “Why?”

    Xue Xia was waiting for his words.

    “Because, the bones of seagulls are hollow tubular, without bone marrow, so they are filled with air. This not only facilitates their flight, but also acts like a small barometer.” Xue Xia’s eyebrows were curved.”The hollow quills on their wings also have a similar effect.”

    “Hmm.” Wei Chinian nodded.”That’s it.”

    “Amazing, right?”

    “Yeah.”

    “One more thing.”

    Wei Chinian waited patiently for her to finish speaking.

    “I heard that seagulls are the most affectionate birds in the world.” Xue Xia lowered her eyelids and turned to face the calm sea.”They only stay with one mate throughout their lives. If one seagull dies first, the other will keep hovering over the sea calling for its mate to return until it runs out of strength and falls into the sea to face death.”

    Hearing this, Wei Chinian also took a step forward and stood beside her.

    “So, I have loved seagulls since I was a child. I think they are powerful and affectionate.”

    Xue Xia said softly, with a very complicated emotion in his voice that Wei Chinian could not describe.

    Everyone has a story.

    he thought.

    Although he was not good at words, Wei Chinian still took Xue Xia’s hand and solemnly said: “I like it too.”

    Xue Xia tilted her head.

    “As long as you like it, I also like it.” After saying this, he smiled.”Because Wei Chinian likes Xue Xia, so what Xue Xia likes, Wei Chinian also likes.”

    The sea breeze is salty, and so are the tears.

    Including what Wei Chinian said was salty.

    The saltiness of substances is based on sodium chloride, while Xue Xia’s love is based on Wei Chinian.
