Hello, everyone!

This is my new series! Hope you enjoy it! ❤️❤️❤️


 

In the early autumn evening, the sun sets.

Su Yi climbed up to the attic and sat on the windowsill to watch the sunset.

A wind chime made of shells and bells hung above her head, making crisp sounds when the sea breeze blew.

This is an ordinary small fishing village by the sea, and the road extends to the distance along the long coastline.

At this moment, a black car was coming from a distance, turning off the road, driving on the winding embankment, and finally stopping in front of the small building.

Su Yi saw the car from a distance.

It is the National Day holiday.

Many tourists drove to the beach to play, so there was a constant flow of cars on the road. But it was already late today, and most of the cars were about to embark on the return journey.

This car was coming against the flow, so it was particularly conspicuous.

Inside the car, Xiao Yan sat in the back seat with his long legs bent, looking out the window nonchalantly. The boy’s profile showed coldness and aloofness.

His father remarried not long ago. This time, he came to his stepmother’s hometown specifically to pick up her relatives.

The car stopped outside a small courtyard with a small building in it. The wall was a lively blue, while the doors, windows, and wooden fences were white.

Although it was pleasing to the eye, it was not special in this area.

In order to attract tourists, the houses nearby were painted in various bright colors.

Xiao Yan glanced casually, and he immediately saw the girl in the attic.

She looked the same age as him, maybe one or two years younger. She has very fair skin, which didn’t look like that of someone who grew up by the sea. Her hair was tied behind her head casually.

She was wearing a light-colored short-sleeved shirt and shorts. She was barefoot, with her smooth calves hanging naturally.

She held a ball of fluff in her hand, only the size of a fist, snow-white in color, with soft and fine hair, looking like a newborn rabbit.

This should be his stepmother’s daughter.

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows indifferently.

At the same time, the furry ball was talking to Su Yi excitedly. Although its mouth was not open, its voice was clearly transmitted to her mind.

[The characters in the plot have appeared! Yi Yi, they are here to pick you up. We are leaving here and going to the big city!]

Su Yi glanced at the people downstairs and then looked at the line between the sea and the sky.

Half of the sunset had sunk below the sea level. The clouds in the whole sky were dyed with magnificent colors, and the sea water was shining with golden light.

Her response was mixed with the sound of the waves, “It’s coming pretty fast.”

Mao Tuan1毛, máo: hair / feather / down / wool / mildew / mold / coarse or semi finished / young / raw / careless / unthinking / nervous / scared / (of currency) to devalue or depreciate / classifier for Chinese fractional monetary unit (= 角, = one-tenth of a yuan or 10 fen, 分)

团, tuán: round / lump / ball / to roll into a ball / to gather / regiment / group / society / classifier for a lump or a soft mass: wad (of paper), ball (of wool), cloud (of smoke)
paused and said with a little caution: [Yi Yi, do you not want to leave?]

Su Yi stroked its fur, “It’s not that I don’t want to leave, but I haven’t seen enough of the scenery here.”

In the place where she came from, there was no such peaceful and magnificent sea, no endless blue sky, no roses blooming all over the yard, and there was not even sunshine that could be called bright.

There was only the fog that never dissipated all year round, the endless killing, and the ambitious people.

As someone who climbed from the bottom to the top, no one knew this better than Su Yi. It was an endless darkness, isolated from the dawn.

Even though she couldn’t be separated from it, even the most tireless warrior needed a moment of peace and quiet, so she came here.

According to Mao Tuan, here, she needed to play the so-called cannon fodder.

But even the word ‘cannon fodder’ seemed interesting to her, an entertaining pastime.

After hearing her words, Mao Tuan moved its round body uneasily: [But…]

“I know.”

Su Yi stroked it from head to toe, “We have to be dedicated, right?”

Besides, if there were different scenery somewhere else, she would be quite happy to go and appreciate it.

She was clearly in a friendly mood, but Mao Tuan shrank back and said timidly: [It’s okay if you don’t want to leave…]

“What are you talking about?” Su Yi tapped its nose.
