Not far away, the two of them sat on the beach in front of the tent. There was no one on the beach. Some of the more than ten tents were still shining brightly, and some of the lights were turned off.

Xia An felt comfortable in the wind. She had never slowed down to relax and rest like this. She was always busy and tired of reality. Ye Jin would leave himself a few days of vacation and relaxation time every year, but

, cannot dispel loneliness.

Sitting on the beach and looking into the distance, the sea is endless, with sparkling waves stretching all the way to the sky.

"So beautiful..." Xia An smiled and turned to look at Ye Jin, and then became silent. Mr. Ye seemed to be worried tonight, so don't show it too obviously.

"Yeah." After a few seconds, Ye Jin remembered to answer, which seemed a bit abrupt.

Xia An wrapped her arms around her knees, then tilted her head and leaned lazily on Ye Jin's shoulder. She half-lidded her eyes and watched the waves hitting the beach again and again, the tide rising and falling.

The two of them cuddled together and looked at the sea quietly for a while.

Ye Jin turned her head slightly, and Xia An's hair rubbed against the side of her face. After staring at Xia An for a long time, she calmly said, "An An."

Xia An raised her head and could barely see Ye Jin's face clearly through the dim light. She asked quietly, "Do you have something to tell me?"

Look at Ye Jin’s reaction...

It was indeed true. In recent days, Ye Jin had been giving her this feeling, as if she was hesitant to speak.

Ye Jin was finally willing to tell her what was on his mind. Xia An was both happy and worried. She didn't know what Ye Jin would say to her. Even though they were getting closer and closer during this period, Ye Jin still had not confirmed their relationship with her.

Xia An felt that even if the two of them knew they liked each other, they still needed to say clearly, "Let's be together." Perhaps, she felt that there was still a gap between her and Ye Jin, and that was why.

For a while, Xia An was thinking a lot, until she heard Ye Jin say in a depressed and inferior tone: "I have been receiving psychological treatment..."

It takes courage to expose one's weaknesses and scars. When Ye Jin told everything, her eyes were always staring at the vast and empty sea. Except for telling her psychiatrist, she never told anyone else about these things.

Yes, even the old lady didn’t know.

The slutty moans, the turbulent breath, and the scenes of unsightly intertwining scenes... began to appear frequently in Ye Jin's dreams when she was about five years old. When she first saw her father and her lover in bed, she...

Not even five years old.

Slowly, she realized what the images that often flashed through her mind meant.

The older you get, the more disgusting you feel.

Her mother was only thirty-two years old when she cut her wrists and committed suicide. Later, Ye Jin saw a severe depression report and some antidepressant drugs among her mother's belongings. The man's long-term betrayal was the last thing that crushed her mother.

A straw...

The seeds of ignorance planted when I was young took root and sprouted in my heart with time and maturity, and slowly clung to me like a vine with claws and claws, unable to get rid of it, and lingering.

"...So, I said that I am a non-marriage person and I have never thought about getting married."

Xia An lowered her head and listened to Ye Jin's words. Her heart was equally heavy and uncomfortable. No wonder she never mentioned her parents. Xia An never asked, because she understood that everyone who is silent has his own silence.

reason.

Several times, Xia An listened to Ye Jin talking and stopped, just breathing slowly. She really wanted Ye Jin to stop talking. She knew that every sentence Ye Jin stated had a thorn in it.

Own.

Ye Jin persisted and finished speaking. After saying it, she found that it was not that difficult, but she felt more relieved.

The sea breeze ruffled her long hair. Ye Jin looked at Xia An and asked, "I may not be able to give you a normal life now. Are you still willing to give me time?"

Xia An finally understood the meaning of time in Ye Jin's words, and also understood Ye Jin's alternating coldness and hotness.

It's not that I don't like it, it's that I care too much.

Xia An looked at Ye Jin. At this time, there were no words of comfort, let alone blaming her. Why didn't she confess to herself earlier? Xia An held Ye Jin's hand tightly, and all she felt was understanding and distress. She could understand Ye Jin.

I wonder how difficult it is to take this step.

Ye Jin lowered his head and looked at Xia An's hand clasping his own. Is it an affirmative answer?

The sea breeze brings peace to people's minds, and it seems particularly suitable for them to say something.

"When I was very young, my dad was diagnosed with chronic inflammatory disease. People around me said that if this thing gets worse, it will be incurable in the future." Xia An lowered his eyes and said something about himself with a smile, "It didn't take long.

, my mother got divorced and ran away with someone else. From that time on, I really wanted to be a doctor. Others said that my father could not be saved, so the more I wanted to prove it to them."

"Later, my father was injured and lost a leg at a construction site. He was no longer able to do heavy work. If I wanted to continue studying, I had to rely on myself. So I studied hard to get a scholarship and found part-time jobs whenever I had time.

Make money." Xia An said it easily, as if he had completely forgotten how he survived in the first place.

"Later, I received a full scholarship and entered the university I wanted to study. Just when I thought everything was going to be fine, my dad was hospitalized and needed chemotherapy and a hematopoietic stem cell transplant, so I had to work part-time at night."

Ye Jin listened carefully and saw that the smile on Xia An's face finally slowly faded away.

"I feel like I can get through so many bad things by myself. There should be nothing I can't handle." Xia An turned to look at Ye Jin's face, "But when you are with others,

I am particularly afraid. I am afraid that you are hiding someone else in your heart. I am afraid that you will like someone else just like I like you."

When talking about the latter part, Xia An's voice trembled a little.

"Fool." Ye Jin couldn't help but say. She had always felt that she was not worthy of Xia An, "What's good about me..."

Xia An said stubbornly, "I just like you."

It is difficult to describe liking a person with concrete reasons. You say you only like her because she is good to you. Then there are so many people in the world who can be good to you, so why do you only like her?

"Do you still want to be with me?"

Xia An had never seen Ye Jin cry, but this time, she vaguely saw Ye Jin's eyes were moist. At this time, she still said the same thing, "Whether you are happy or unhappy, I will be with you."

Ye Jin took Xia An's hand, clasped their fingers tightly, and their palms were pressed together, "I'll be with you, too."

Xia An smiled and nodded, then rested her head on Ye Jin's shoulder. Thinking about what Ye Jin said to her tonight, she took the initiative to hold Ye Jin's hand a little tighter.

The moment of promise is eternity. At this moment, Ye Jin didn't think about the future. She only felt that Xia An was very happy when he rested his head on her.

It was late at night and the sea breeze was a bit cool.

Ye Jin saw Xia An resting on her shoulder and closed her eyes. She stretched out her hand to gently brush Xia An's hair, and caressed Xia An's cheek with her fingertips.

Xia An opened his eyes.

"Sleepy?"

Xia An was blown by the wind and sneezed, "A little bit."

"Go back to the tent and sleep."

Sleeping in the tent was naturally not as spacious as the bed, but it was cozy for a family of three to huddle together. As soon as they lay down, Xia An was hugged by Ye Jin before she could react.

Ye Jin rubbed Xia An's hair and whispered in her ear, "Let me hold you."

Xia An was stunned at first, and then smiled. From tonight on, she began to understand the real Ye Jin. Many times, Ye Jin hugged her, just like a child in need of warmth.

If it can warm Ye Jin, Xia An will naturally be happy.

"You won't hold me to sleep every night." Xia An looked at Ye Jin with a smile and whispered ambiguously.

Instead, Ye Jin hugged Xia An tighter and said childishly, "Then you hug me to sleep."

Xia An turned off the light and silently hugged Ye Jin.

"An'an..."

"Um?"

"I won't keep you waiting too long."

"Let's take our time." Xia An said, she could see that Ye Jin wanted to change in a hurry, but the obstacles in his heart could not be overcome all at once, and she didn't want to put pressure on Ye Jin, "Actually, it's very good now."

Xia An said "we", which made Ye Jin feel more at ease, "I will accompany you to school tomorrow to pack your things, and you will live at home obediently from now on."

She was actually still thinking about this matter. Xia An went back with her directly last time without moving many things, "Okay~"

Ye Jin smiled with satisfaction.

It was the end of March when Xia An moved away, and it was June when he moved back. In fact, it was only a little more than two months, but a long, long time passed. Probably too many things happened in circles.

Returning to the place where he had lived for more than half a year, Xia An subconsciously walked towards the familiar room.

Ye Jin stopped Xia An, "Follow me."

Xia An followed Ye Jin to the master bedroom on the second floor. Ye Jin said, "I will live in this room from now on."

"Live here?"

"Shouldn't we share a room?" Ye Jin asked Xia An instead.

Xia An smiled and then realized that it was unreasonable for her to sleep in separate rooms with Ye Jin. It was just that they had gone from a contractual relationship to a real relationship, which inevitably made her a little uncomfortable.

Unlike ordinary lovers, who slowly get to know each other and fall in love, and then get married, she and Ye Jin went straight to the last stage and got the certificate in a daze.

Xia An had just moved home, and Ye Wan kept pestering her at night to sleep with her little mommy.

"Wanwan is already five years old. You can't sleep with your mother anymore, you know?" Ye Jin educated the little guy.

Upon hearing this, Ye Wan pouted and said, "Mom, you are not cute at all. In the past, when little mommy was angry with you and refused to sleep with you, you asked Wanwan to coax little mommy to sleep with you.

Now that little mommy is not angry with you, don’t stay late. I also want to sleep with little mommy."

Xia An, who was on the side, couldn't stop laughing after hearing this. Even though this villain looked young, it turned out that he really understood everything in his heart, and his heart was like a mirror.

Ye Jin: "..."
