The island's sea-circling road is vast and the sun is warm.

The rustling sound of the tide hitting the shore, the whistle of the sea breeze in my ears, and the buzzing sound of the small electric donkey engine sitting down, all the sounds perfectly blend with the scenery in front of me, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Cao Aiqing held He Tianran's waist with both hands, and suddenly became addicted to this atmosphere without realizing it.

Human anxiety seemed to be unable to catch up with the speed of electric cars for more than 30 yards. She pulled out a hand and stroked her hair that was flying with the wind.

On the side of the road, rows of white power generation windmills kept disappearing and retreating and reappearing, just like the most conspicuous signposts on this road, but it did not state what the destination of this road was.

He Tianran couldn't see Cao Aiqing's expression behind him, but he seemed to feel something and said loudly:

"Hey, where did you choose your art gallery?"

"Stay open, you'll always come."

"What?"

The wind in his ears was too strong, and he didn't hear it clearly.

“Continue to open.”

Afterwards, with Cao Aiqing's instructions, He Tianran finally drove the little electric donkey to a headland at the southern end of the island bay. Compared with some popular attractions on the island, this place is still in an undeveloped state.

This island cape is about 100 meters above sea level, and is an excellent location to look at the sea. However, the surrounding area is bare, except for the stones and the sea, there are no traces of construction. He Tianran couldn't help asking:

“Not started yet?”

Cao Aiqing got out of the car and did not answer his question immediately. She walked to Yabang silently, raised her hand and stretched.

Her dress originally revealed her shoulders and half of her snow back. With her movement, He Tianran could clearly appreciate the graceful butterfly bones that slowly stretched out.

She turned her head and said to He Tianran who was still standing there: "How fast is it? The establishment of the art museum is also an important part of Nanyan Island's tourism development. Various approval and docking work have not been completed yet. It is estimated that it will be completed.

It will take several years, by the way, what do you think of this place?"

"here?"

"Um."

He Tianran walked forward, stood side by side with her, looked at the vast sea, thought for a while, and replied seriously:

“It feels lonely, including the place you chose.”

"You don't think it's good?"

He Tianran shook his head: "I know that in the field of architecture, designs that can be called 'lonely' generally have a unique aesthetic, so I don't think it's bad..."

The boy said and looked at Cao Aiqing, and the other party was also looking at him. He felt a little embarrassed and continued:

"I can't say anything that is too professional in architecture, but I can help you analyze my impression from the director's perspective. For example, I want to take a panoramic shot, the main body of the shot is the art gallery, throwing away your overall situation

Not to mention the design, if the current season is replaced with winter, waves, reefs, art galleries, and other elements are combined together, and no skills are needed, it will have enough charm...but..."

"But what?"

"But for beauty, it is not the first priority that you architects pursue. You told me that architecture will nourish the unique culture of the region through years. This is the charm of architecture, and I think

, Nanzhi Island is so focused on developing tourism, what you want will definitely not be lonely." He Tianran said slowly.

After hearing his opinion, Cao Aiqing felt a little incredible. This coincided with her point of view, but she said:

"I haven't told you this."

"Hahaha, yes, it's really not what you told me." He Tianran laughed dryly.

"But you are right. Before this plan was given to the leader of Nanzhi Island, your mother passed it off... What else did she tell you?"

The "she" that Cao Aiqing said of course refers to Cao Aiqing from another world.

"What? Are you afraid I will copy the answer?" He Tianran joked.

Cao Aiqing was angry and laughed, "Of course not, but after listening to your words, I was very curious whether I would be consistent with the things I love thirteen years ago and now, when it comes to the things I love."

Can this be the same? In addition to architecture, she also loves me!

He Tianran complained in his heart, but this kind of words is not suitable, and it is impossible to say to Cao Aiqing in front of him. He said seriously:

"Her favorite architect is Tadao Ando, ​​and his favorite work is also his Church of Light. She believes that architecture should become a part of nature, and reinforced concrete will one day weather and disappear with time, so, without passing through matter

In itself, it is to let it exist as a memory forever in people's hearts. This is her career pursuit. Do you think so now?"

After hearing this familiar ideal and original intention, Cao Aiqing could only remain silent.

He Tianran realized that the other party was not in a good mood and comforted him: "Her ideas are very noble, but she has no practical experience. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is just a talk on paper. Unlike her, you have enough ability to achieve it.

The original ideals are always different from ideas and practice. Even if you don’t think so now, it’s understandable. People will always change..."

"People can change, but this is the only thing that cannot be done! Her persistence has always been right!"

Cao Aiqing interrupted He Tianran's comfort. Rather than saying that she was refuting, it was more like adding confidence to another self.

He Tianran was stunned for a moment, but after a moment, he smiled again and nodded.

He Tianran has always known that Cao Aiqing is actually a very stubborn person under her gentle appearance. She has her own persistence. Once she determines something, it is difficult to have room for maneuver.

After she decided to establish the Department of Architecture at the University of Hong Kong, she never had a second choice. She was so desperate, but she couldn't even persuade her if she came to persuade her.

She likes He Tianran, but when she knows that He Tianran doesn't want to fall in love, she will immediately withdraw and say "I'm not sad at all, you love your moon, you pick your starlight."

Later, she found out that He Tianran couldn't let go of Wenliang, so she resolutely chose not to talk to each other.

If the boy hadn't woken up and confessed his love, maybe there would be another result between them.

Thinking of this, He Tianran felt sad. Cao Aiqing, who was walking by with a cold arrow all the way, might only become more stubborn at this point.

After all, the ideal of becoming an architect is already the most complete and purest thing in her heart.

It’s just that time changes, and when the ideals come into reality, the trivial things revealed are the root cause of her interrupting her worldly speech after she is silent.

He Tianran doesn’t understand society, but he knows “Cao Aiqing”. From the first time he saw Cao Aiqing in this world, he knew that she was very tired.

“Ah~~~~~”

He Tianran suddenly covered his hands and shouted loudly at the calm sea.

This action stunned Cao Aiqing.

"This place is very empty, it is a good place to empty your brain and relax yourself." The boy turned his head and grinned at Cao Aiqing who was stunned by the side: "Do you try too?"

Cao Aiqing rarely refused at the first time. She stared at the sea and took a deep breath.

“Ah~~~~~”

The loud voice shocked two or three seagulls, accompanied by the ever-changing waves, which continued for a long time.

In one minute, Cao Aiqing roared intermittently and two or three times. He Tianran looked at her quietly. A slight redness after hypoxia appeared on her cheeks. The humid air at the beach made her eyelashes and hair.

The tips were stained with a little bit of moisture.

This image is so similar to when they watched the sunrise by the sea.

Maybe this vision was too direct, Cao Aiqing gasped, glared back at him, and then said to himself:

The theme of "'Loneliness' is indeed not suitable for Nan Yan Island. Learning architecture must actually visit the local area and experience the space with my own five senses. I have spent most of my time on the island recently. This meager personal experience made me realize

At that time, Nanzhi Island has changed. It is no longer the deserted fishing village that locals in the previous impression of Harbor City. It is no longer necessary to be lonely. It is eager to change, but I cannot be very accurate in what it really needs.

In summary, I... haven't figured it out yet."

Somehow, Cao Aiqing expressed her confusion at work, maybe she took it lightly after yelling twice, maybe... She also hoped that this 18-year-old He Tianran could understand her.

What are you talking about.

He is still so young and sometimes so naive. Does he really know nothing?

Not really, Cao Aiqing could notice that He Tianran actually knew a lot of things, but he just didn't want to do that.

The same is true for the other He Tianran, but all of that is patience for revenge.

And this He Tianran is purely because he likes to keep in this state.

He has no habit of hiding his true nature in society. His straightforwardness and innocence were written on his face by the boy without any worries. In this strange world, this is a very fatal point, and it is also Cao Aiqing has long abandoned it.

Things, but it’s just such a boy. During the short half day when Cao Aiqing was with him, he felt a rare ease.

Cao Aiqing didn't need any answers to what he said. He just said it, and his mood would be much better.

He Tianran lowered his head, pondered for a while, and when he raised his head again, he said in a deep voice:

"I think what Nanzhi Island wants should be 'rebirth'..."

Cao Aiqing's bright eyes shone slightly.

“Continue.”

"Well... You said just now that the locals' impression of Nanzhi Island is desolate. Even if the local policies strongly support it, the concept is deeply rooted. If you want to break the shackles of the old impression, you have to present a brand new one.

The concept of "rebirth" is derived from this. If the building you design can allow tourists to re-understand the island, feel the vitality and communicate with it, it will not be in line with your concept of learning architecture and

Did you have the original intention?”

"And this is a topic that will not go wrong. Whether it is my mother or the local government, even if she doesn't accept this proposal, she will not refuse immediately, because this concept is correct and is also false.

, It is just a concept. As for how to express it, how to fill the skeleton and flesh, that's your business."
