02.

Otherwise, I will not escape from here, leaving like a cowardly deserter.

Is that child also from here? Tang Ruize asked.

Probably! I leaned against the backrest of the sofa and said softly.

Tang Ruizhe jokingly said, "You were only five years old at that time, and you could already give people names?"

He patted my head and said, "Don't be polite with me, don't forget, I am your older brother!"

Why are you asking like this? I asked.

That child must be very special to you, right? After a while, Tang Ruizhe suddenly asked.

I looked up at the skylight above.

At that moment, tears almost welled up in my eyes. I felt that these were the things I had been longing to see all along.

I was stunned, is it very special?

What name did you give him?

Is that so? I smiled and looked into the distance, "Come to think of it, something happened here too. Right here by the seaside, ah, it seems like right where you're standing, I once found a little boy."

It's as if I accidentally pushed open a door and saw another colorful world.

The breeze that came rushing towards me was filled with the scent of the sea, and it lifted the strands of hair by my ears, tickling my cheeks.

"Quantum Physics", this was the last book I read before leaving here.

Is it hard?

I shook my head gently and said, "No, he is not."

Yes, I'm back.

Tang Ruizhe nodded and said, "A very nice name. Yunque, you could really be described as a 'child prodigy' when you were young!"

Faintly visible is the pure white wave, the distant boundless sea level, blurring the boundary between heaven and earth.

Later, I learned that it was because he had been drowning for too long, and his brain had been deprived of oxygen for too long, so that he couldn't remember anything after waking up.

The adults handed him over to the police, but unfortunately, because he couldn't remember anything, they couldn't find his hometown and relatives. Just as they were about to send him to an orphanage, a childless couple adopted him.

Indeed, there should be many people coming to the seaside to play during this season.

Ten years later, I returned to this place once again.

Tang Ruizhe looked into my eyes and said softly, "I don't know, it's a feeling. By the way, are you going to school tomorrow?"

Let's go out for a walk. I turned around and suggested to Tang Ruizhe behind me.

I don't know if it's a memory bias, but now looking at this skylight again, it seems much smaller than I remember. It's not just the skylight, but also the lazy sofa underneath me. When I was young, I thought this sofa was so big that it made people lonely.

From the age of four to eight, in the span of four years, I read all the books here once. I looked up at the skylight above and slowly said, "Looking back now, this should have been quite an extraordinary thing, right?"

"It must be very hard." He walked up to me, looked down at me from above, and said, "Skylark, you must be even more hardworking than me! Having a higher IQ than your peers, understanding more profound knowledge than your teachers, it must be very hard!"

At this moment, I suddenly felt suffocated, so I stood up, walked to the window, and gently pushed open a window.

In the center of the study, there is a red recliner sofa, with piles of books next to it. I walked over and sat down on the sofa, casually picking up the book that was placed by my side.

Sunlight shines in from there, and the dust in the air is still swirling and floating, suspended and unwilling to fall.

Pushing open the door of the study, the furnishings inside remained unchanged. Books were everywhere, as if they were going to fill the entire room.

I have read all these books.I watched him quietly and said, "These are my bedtime stories, my Andersen's Fairy Tales."

As soon as you walk onto the sandy beach by the sea, you can faintly hear the noisy voices coming from the sea area not far from the scenic spot.

Looking back now, I can still recall the excitement and joy in my heart when I first read "A Brief History of Time".

Can you understand? Tang Ruizhe frowned, "How old were you at that time?"

When I was young, I often came here alone to read. Sometimes, I would spend the whole day reading. Many times, my grandmother would have to bring me home for meals. The memories this beach left me with are numerous, but upon careful consideration, there are not many worth remembering.

Remembering it, his name was actually given by me. I couldn't help but smile.

When I was a child, I always thought the skylight was very big because you could see a lot of things through it, especially on summer nights when you could see both the constellation Sagittarius and the constellation Cygnus.

I still remember to this day, the moment when the child opened his eyes, the astonishment and joy that surged in my heart. Even now, when I look back, I can still recall that feeling.

As soon as he came back, he started reading books!" Tang Ruize walked in, bent down and picked up a book from the ground, casually flipping through a few pages, "These books..."

I think this is too troublesome, so I said, "I can go alone."

Ha ha ha, I think so too. I said with a smile.

That day, I went to the seaside holding a book, but I found a little boy lying on the beach.

Haining. I looked at the calm sea, feeling a peaceful and tranquil sensation washing over me, "Shu Haining."

I nodded and said, "Yes, a little boy with blue eyes, he used to be the only person I could talk to. Other children, even adults, refused to listen to me, only he was willing to listen to me talk about things that seemed boring to others."

Some I can understand, some I cannot. I knew many characters when I was two years old, and at three years old, I would find storybooks and fairy tales by myself. At four years old, I read a book called "A Brief History of Time" and felt like it was a completely different world. Later, I finished reading all the books my parents bought for me and walked into this study. All the books here were collected by my parents before they became researchers abroad.

I was stunned, then smiled at him and said, "Okay."

Tang Ruizhe was stunned for a moment: "Found a little boy?"

Yunque, you are indeed very impressive. Tang Ruize put the book back and said, "You are a bit too impressive."

Probably.

I also don't know why everyone at that time let such a young me give him a name. Perhaps it was because his adoptive parents believed that I discovered and saved him, and they thought of me as his surrogate parent.

"I have to go," I replied, "I need to take care of some procedures. Although my student status has been transferred back, I still have to go in person. What about you? When are you going to register at the university?"

"Do you want to drive me away so soon?" Tang Ruizhe reached out and tapped my head. "The day after tomorrow, I'll accompany you to your school tomorrow, and then go to my school for registration the day after tomorrow."

Those are a pair of blue eyes that are even deeper than the sea, clearly such a beautiful color, yet the gaze is so hollow.

That happened when I was five years old.

It's very comfortable here.Tang Ruizhe took a deep breath, and the sea breeze messed up his hair. Under the sunshine, his eyes seemed to shine. "Unlike me, when I was a child, all I saw were iron fences and rainy days."

Tang Ruizhe looked outside the window and nodded.
