Gu Jingchen's heart was also hanging high, always hanging in the air.
Why doesn't An An speak?
Are you planning to agree?
No, it's impossible.
He had already told her what Chu Qi was thinking!
She won't!
Gu Jingchen clenched his fists unconsciously. Just when he thought Su An was going to refuse silently, he suddenly heard -
"Okay, after all, I'm a little older than you. If you encounter anything unhappy, you are welcome to call me for consultation at any time, but... only when I have time."
Su An deliberately did not speak too harshly.
Anyway, she has the final say whether she has time or not.
"Okay, then it's settled!"
Seeing that she didn't refuse, Chu Qi's tone showed a little excitement.
However, Gu Jingchen's expression suddenly froze, and his heart felt as if someone had suddenly punched him hard, causing a sharp sting.
He moved slightly and almost couldn't help but walked out from behind the reef.
But it only lasted for a moment, and then it stopped stiffly.
He didn't want to make Su An angry or bored by her...
Gu Jingchen's feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and he continued to listen to the two people's conversation as if he was masochistic.
Then he heard the voices of Zhu Zhile and others approaching.
"An'an!"
Zhu Zhile came forward and put his arm on Su An's shoulders.
Then he asked jokingly, "How are they? Do the fireworks look good?"
"What do you think?"
Su An did not answer and asked deliberately.
Then his eyes suddenly swept across the beach inadvertently, as if he had discovered something, his eyes widened suddenly, and he bent down and picked up a shell.
Then he only glanced at it and showed a somewhat disappointed look.
"What's wrong?"
Chu Qi noticed her movements and asked curiously, then smiled and joked, "Sister, do you want to pick up shells? How about I bring you a shovel and a small bucket tomorrow?"
"No."
Su An shook his head, amused by his statement, and then he thought of something. The expression on his face suddenly became a little embarrassed, and explained, "I just saw the shell suddenly and thought of a somewhat childish legend."
"What legend? Tell it and listen to it?"
When Zhu Zhile heard this, he immediately looked interested, and others were also curious.
Su An felt even more embarrassed.
"It's really childish. Are you...sure you want to listen?"
"Of course, it must be a very special legend that you can remember for so long. Tell me quickly!"
Zhu Zhile couldn't help but urge.
"Oh well."
Su An smiled, squatted down again, picked up the shell again, and said slowly.
"Actually, I heard when I was young that if one day I can find a heart-shaped shell on the beach and make a wish on it, the wish will definitely come true... I just made a mistake and thought that the shell happened to be a heart.
It’s shaped.”
As she spoke, she couldn't help but look a little nostalgic, and then suddenly showed a helpless smile.
"Isn't it really naive to still believe this statement?"
Then I heard Chu Qi immediately reply, "Of course I'm not naive! Not only is I not naive, we can also search with you!"
"Together?"
Su An looked at him in surprise.
Immediately afterwards, I heard Zhu Zhile on the side also suggested loudly.
"I think it's okay! Anyway, there's nothing to do tonight, so why not just stay here and look for shells? It's not too hot at night, so we can find you until you get tired. What if we really find it? Just think of it as making up for the previous ones.
Sorry, how about it?"
"Yes! There is strength in numbers!"
"you……"
Su An didn't expect that a group of people would really take it to heart as soon as she said it casually, and they were immediately amused and touched.
I was also a little touched in my heart.
It turns out that Gu Jingchen is not around...
She can also feel truly happy.
In the past, she felt that she was happy as long as she was by Gu Jingchen's side, and she never even thought about leaving him.
But now it seems that she has missed a lot because of Gu Jingchen in the past two years.
Never even laughed heartily...
"Sister, are you just going to watch us search? Why don't you help me anyway? After all, I found it, but it's yours..."
Chu Qi's "complaining" voice drew Su An's attention.
She suddenly came back to her senses and hurriedly agreed, "Okay, then let's look for it together!"
With that said, Su An began to pick up a few shells at hand.
Several people were talking and expanding the search scope, but they didn't feel bored at all.
However, it might be because it was getting too late, so several people searched for a long time, but could not find a heart-shaped shell, not even one with a similar shape.
"How about forget it..."
Su An took out her phone and checked the time, and found that it had been almost half an hour.
Zhu Zhile was also a little tired, so she sat down on the beach, but she was still turning over her hands casually, and muttered, "But I'm so unwilling to give up like this..."
As soon as she finished speaking——
But suddenly I remembered a deafening sound of music in the distance!
A few lights suddenly illuminated half of the beach!
"Wow, what's going on?"
Several people subconsciously turned around and looked over.
Then I saw many people walking towards the stage.
Zhu Zhile always liked to join in the fun and immediately pulled Su An to stand up.
"An'an, there seems to be a performance over there! Do you want to join in the fun?"
"No problem. I'm tired of looking for it anyway, so let's go take a look."
Su An agreed happily and immediately forgot about what happened just now.
It was just a whim anyway.
She was past the age of believing in such legends.
Things like wishes... are inherently illusory.
Su An thought, took one last look at the large and small shells that a group of people dug out on the beach, and turned to leave.
Chu Qi and others also hurriedly followed.
A few people just chatted about the performance for a while, walking further and further away.
For a long time——
Gu Jingchen finally walked slowly out from behind the rocks, staring at Su An's back with deep eyes. His knuckles had already turned white, and the wounds on his body had become numb from pain, reminding him that he should go back and rest.
But he still stood there and didn't move.
He remembered everything that happened here just now.
That Chu Qi accompanied An to set off fireworks and look for shells with her...
These things...if An An hadn't divorced him, he would have done it with her.
But now there is only room for regret...
Gu Jingchen's eyes slowly fell on the series of footprints Su An left on the beach, and a sudden thought came to his mind.
An An said she wanted a heart-shaped shell.
What if...he could find it?
Does that mean he can help An An realize her wish?
