Prologue, farewell, Sea of Memories
Li Zheyu smiled gracefully as he explained into the microphone
Xiaoying, do you want to strangle me? I have told you not to swing on my neck...
As soon as the host's voice fell, the roaring cheers on the beach came to an abrupt halt. "Instant... instant noodles? What does that mean?" On stage, Su Youhui stared wide-eyed in surprise at the host, "Isn't the prize 50,000 yuan?"
We heard this somewhat special vocabulary, and Jin Yuanye, Li Zheyü, Ling Chenxuan, Bai Suji, and Qiu Xiaoying were also unaware of what Su Youhui was thinking at that moment, exchanging puzzled glances with each other
Oh? Isn't this a gathering of caterpillars
"What are you thinking about at night?" Li Zheyü, standing next to Su Youhui, noticed that Jin Yuanye seemed a bit distracted, and he found that the focus of his gaze was actually on the small white house where he had once lived.
Early morning, Xuan! Whose figure do you say resembles a door panel?! I, Bai Suji, am well-known for my golden ratio! Curvaceous! Perfect figure!
fifty thousand yuan
"Pfft!" The golden moonlit night, squatting beside and inspecting her own work, couldn't help but laugh at Li Zheyun's words, "Sister Youhui, you also share the same 'genius troubles' as Ah Xuan!"
We won! Yay! We are the champions!
The special grand prize isーー
Hahaha! Bai Suji, is what you made a thousand roses? I think it resembles a thousand caterpillars more closely!
Damn it! Return the Nobel Prize medal to me!
My work is 'Cupid's Arrow', and the meaning I wish to convey is 'Love of Destiny'
"Youhui, it's night, we have arrived." Li Zheyü, who was sitting by the aisle, stood up and kindly helped Su Youhui with her luggage as they walked towards the car door. Jinyueye playfully flicked Su Youhui's forehead, yet her eyes were filled with affection and tenderness.
Now I have no way out either, Xiaoying..." Jin Yuanye said with a wry smile, shrugging his shoulders, "But why is this sand sculpture competition such a big deal?"
Miss Su Youhui, well... although your new work has transformed from a small sand sculpture into six sand sculptures, the quality of the sand sculptures has not changed... even if it were made into the sea, it would still not be acceptable...
Be careful, or I might hit you
Bai Suji! What do you mean by "my sea turtle, just let it go"?! Also! What I made is not a sea turtle! Idiot!
"Youhui, what are you making?" Amidst the clamor of the "Frenemy Trio," Li Zheyu walked over to Su Youhui, shaking the sand from his hands. "Oh? Youhui, are you making a birthday cake?"
The lavender field I visited is the one where I used to go with my friends often
The competition ... ! ... has finally arrived. ! ! Since the winter break, it has been a long time since anyone has competed with me! Regardless of the prize money, what I want is the trophy! What I want is the cheers! ! The flowers! ! And the applause. ! ! Only these can illuminate the life of me, "Goddess of Competition" Su Youhui!
The language of lavender flowers is—love that waits. Just like that fool from earlier, I want to tell the one in my heart that the rich fragrance of this sea of flowers represents my longing for him. Regardless of the harsh winter or scorching summer, whether in glaciers or plateaus, my lavender will forever bloom for him
The stage on the beach is adorned with pink and lavender heart-shaped balloons, and in the center of the stage backdrop, there is a large heart model made of roses, beautifully arranged there
What exactly are you hiding from me and Youhui at night
Ah... Although I have received such a lofty honor, why do I feel so calm at this moment? Perhaps it is because I have put in so much effort that such a result seems only natural. A life without surprises is indeed quite dull... Oh ho ho ho ho!
During the time you have not been with us, what exactly have you experienced
Qiu Xiaoying, stop messing around! Youhui! We have been waiting for you for a long time!" Bai Suji followed closely behind Qiu Xiaoying, her short hair from summer had grown quite a bit, and with her makeup on, she appeared more mature, exuding a woman's charm and delicacy.
Then the last one is this elegant gentleman! The host wiped away tears and walked over to Li Zheyu, leaning in to observe.
What a wonderful wish! The host gazed into Su Youhui's eyes, which sparkled with admiration, but suddenly, a smiling face intruded into his line of sight, interrupting his dreamy gaze
Are you a fool? Even if you want me to play in the sand, you should at least find a few beautiful women to accompany me
After coming to her senses, Bai Suji, who had been striving tirelessly for the 50,000 yuan prize, and Lin Chengxuan, exploded like a detonated atomic bomb
From the meticulously calculated brainwaves of the golden moonlit night
What a touching confession! I hope your feelings can be conveyed! Now, the next one...
You all have arrived, Youhui, Ye, and Yu!
The Nobel Prize? The Nobel Prize is certainly not awarded to someone still with a runny nose
Oh oh oh oh! A simple yet passionate confession! It moved me so much! Although I still think what you did was a sea turtle...
"Idiot! Is something wrong with your eyes? Am I making a turtle?! Forget it! Ordinary people will never understand the struggles of artistic geniuses"
New Year Valentine's Day Sand Sculpture Competition
You are all amazing! I am so envious of you! Su Youhui spoke exceptionally well!
Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to announce that the recipient of the 2010 Nobel Prize in Literature is Miss Su Youhui, who hails from Xinghua Province in China, distinguished by her elegance, exceptional wisdom, and standing out among the crowd
As soon as Qiu Xiaoying's voice fell, several beams of golden light suddenly flashed around her, and a mixture of brainwaves echoed in the air above the beach like the sounds of morning reading in a classroom
With 50,000 yuan, I can go to the pub, meet a few stunning beauties, and infuriate Bai Suji
Looking around at everything in this room, even though a long time has passed, seeing the scenes in this room once again still causes his heart to ache repeatedly
50,000 yuan ! 50,000 yuan !
Qiu Xiaoying's words caused everyone's faces to turn ashen in an instant
"Wait a moment!" Su Youhui suddenly shouted, drawing the attention of everyone present.
Well, earning some money is not bad. Anyway, I have been planning to find a job recently. It is indeed not easy to save up for a ring for my sister Youhui
Bai Suji's temples bulged with two veins, as she desperately suppressed her anger for the competition
Thunderous applause and earth-shattering cheers suddenly erupted all around, while on the stage, Su Youhui stood tall and proud like a celestial being descended to the mortal realm, gazing calmly and with emotion at the ordinary people below the stage
Because Xiaoying advised me not to bring extra people. Besides, didn't Yu come along as well
Su Youhui! You are truly magnificent! You are a goddess! You are the savior of humanity!
Indeed, it is very much in line with our theme... This idea is quite special..." A drop of cold sweat hung on the host's forehead, and when he turned his head and saw Su Youhui standing against the wind, his eyes suddenly brightened, "Miss, what are you doing?"
However, suddenly, a white piece of paper that had fallen under the bed caught Li Zheyu's attention. He curiously walked over, bent down to pick it up, shook off the dust on the paper, and upon closer inspection, his face gradually turned as pale as the wall.
Su Youhui, with cold sweat on her forehead, glanced at her own and others' works. Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she looked towards the host, "Mr. Host, in fact, we haven't finished introducing our works just now."
Yay yay yay yay yay! 50,000 yuan!
Give him/her the most special love
Su Youhui stepped to the center of the small stage on behalf of her sand sculpture team, smiling gracefully and accepting the applause, cheers, and endless admiration from the other contestants below, like a queen
Fifty thousand yuan ... can be enough for me to buy N new clothes, and I can also go buy one or two luxury items!
"Hehe, at night, have you also begun to believe in fate?" Hearing Jin Yueye's words, Li Zheyu asked with a somewhat puzzled smile
Amid their increasingly fervent discussions, the electronic attendant's reminder echoed through the carriage
Wow, fifty thousand yuan! Fifty thousand yuan! Hearing the host's words, Bai Suji and Qiu Xiaoying in the audience were already so excited that they started singing!
Dear passengers, we have arrived at Xinghai Station. Please take your valuable belongings and prepare to disembark
"This is HAPPYHOUSE," Su Youhui explained with an elegant smile, "It is a café near my high school. Although it is not extravagant, it holds many happy memories for us (including my first encounter with them). I hope these joys can continue forever"
Jin Yueye walked away with a smile. Li Zheyu watched Jin Yueye's silhouette, a wave of subtle concern rising in his heart
"Oh? You Hui, have you received the Nobel Prize yet? Welcome back to Bus No. 235 in Milan, heading towards the starry sea!" On the adjacent seat, Jin Yueye held up the banana that Su Youhui had squished, raising one eyebrow and grinning mischievously at Su Youhui, "I didn't expect you to like bananas so much!"
Then, while appreciating the masterpiece, please also share with me the significance of your own work
No problem! Master Ma's instant noodles, a guarantee of quality, can accompany you until the very last second of your life! Besides, if you can't finish it, you can leave it for your son to eat!
Instant noodles!
Su Youhui was taken aback, her face flushed bright red, when Li Zheyu's gentle voice interrupted their argument
Li Zheyu's words left Su Youhui somewhat shocked. Jin Yueye whistled and smiled, revealing a somewhat complex expression on her face. ... What a bold confession ...! ... Yu has really changed a lot ...! Seeing him so full of fighting spirit, I feel a bit relieved ... ...
--- From the brainwaves filled with vengeful dark energy at dawn
Seeing that the host was about to take the Nobel Prize medal from her hands, Su Youhui, in a fit of anger, reached out her hand to snatch it back
"You are right! Compared to me, you are indeed well-proportioned!" "Xiaoying is also quite immature!"
Xiao Ying understood! Xiao Xuanxuan made a turtle!" Qiu Xiao Ying happily said while holding the small shovel in her hand, "A thousand-year-old turtle and a ten-thousand-year-old turtle must represent 'I love you for ten thousand years'!
Li Zheyu saw a trace of loss and melancholy in Jin Yueni's eyes that only he could perceive, and he sighed softly: "I am thinking that the most special love is one that allows the other person to forget all painful memories, so I want to create such a sand sculpture."
"Are you looking for death? ! What I made is the Magpie Bridge! You fool! ! It is a wooden bridge in my high school!" Ling Chenxuan seemed to be throwing caution to the wind as he shouted at the host, "Legend has it that if you can meet the person you like on the bridge, you can be together with her forever... So, I want to tell her that I have been waiting for her on this bridge, regardless of whether it is sunny or rainy, even if it is the end of the world in 2012, I will wait until she appears. ..." Upon hearing Ling Chenxuan's words, Bai Suji was stunned as if struck by an electric current, her face flushed red. ... So, I want to tell her that I have been waiting for her on this bridge, regardless of whether it is sunny or rainy, even if it is the end of the world in 2012, I will wait until she appears. ..." Upon hearing Ling Chenxuan's words, Bai Suji was stunned as if struck by an electric current, her face flushed red.
Damn it! I don't care whether the prize is 50,000 yuan or instant noodles—my championship title! My cheers! My applause! ... My first place... ... ... Boo hoo!
With the sound of the whistle blown by the host, the competition officially commenced
"Golden Moonlit Night! Where has Li Zheyü gone? Why haven't I seen him?"
At the very top of the stage, there are several large laser letters filled with a dreamlike effect
Venus? Apollo? The Statue of Liberty? No, that's not right! These are not special enough! Come on, Su Youhui! I must come in first place!
Yu, are you confessing your feelings to me? Hahaha! Thank you! I am so touched! However, you should save your confession for Youhui. Because next, I am going to let Youhui experience my 'special love'!
Idiot! What do we need so many instant noodles for? Instant noodles worth 50,000, we could never finish them in our lifetime!
Ah ah ah ah! Su Youhui! You are our pride! We will always be proud of you!
Because the winner of the competition will receive a special grand prize... it is a prize worth 50,000 yuan..." Qiu Xiaoying replied softly, feeling wronged, as she drooped her eyelids and poked at her own finger.
Ah! I know, this handsome gentleman, what you are making is a sea turtle, right? It represents everlasting love
Hello... your mouth is overflowing!
And in the end ... ... a brainwave stronger than that of others, Su Youhui was like a balloon being inflated, continuously expanding on the beach ... ... expanding
"Oh? Did we not win any awards..." Xiaoying pouted in disappointment
What does it mean? The perfect "Star Flower" cannot lose composure at critical moments
"Pfft—" Upon hearing Xiaoying's words, Su Youhui couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Alright, you all stop messing around. Xiaoying, you said there was something of great importance that required us to come over. What exactly has happened that is so significant?"
Really, I am not a child! But what exactly is Xiao Ying thinking in that little head of hers? However, choosing the day of the New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day for us to go to Xinghai is still rather inappropriate
Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet!" The host cleared his throat, deliberately lowering his excited voice, "We have now reached the final moment of today's event— I will present the ultimate prize to today's champion!
Oh, hehehe! That...
Qiu Xiaoying... Have you lost your mind? Today is Valentine's Day! You actually made me come to the freezing beach to play in the sand?! The "Queen of Impulsiveness" Bai Suji was the first to explode.
After the host announced the final champion, Bai Suji, Qiu Xiaoying, and Ling Chenxuan were all excited, their faces flushed with joy
You idiot host
Indeed! Regardless of what constitutes art or not, this is our most sincere work and emotion
Really... If you are worried, just say it directly, why beat around the bush. Su Youhui thought to herself, feeling somewhat pleased as if she had won a battle, and shot a glare at Jin Yuanye.
Fifty thousand yuan! Fifty thousand yuan! Even if we each get ten thousand—let's just forget about the sea turtle at midnight—I would still have ten thousand yuan, which can buy a lot of new clothes!
Noticing Su Youhui's gaze, Jin Yueye displayed a nonchalant and indifferent smile on her face
Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! As the host's voice faded, several beams of magnificent and dreamlike golden light, reminiscent of those from heaven, shone down directly from above the stage, ultimately converging upon a person standing in the center of the stage
Oh! Xiaoying, very good! Occasionally, you can also express such profound thoughts!
Su Youhui smiled confidently as she walked to the back of her work, crouching down to build a low sand wall behind her creation, "HAPPYHOUSE." Upon seeing Su Youhui's actions, Jin Yueye's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she understood Su Youhui's intention. Inspired by Su Youhui and Jin Yueye, the others seemed to share a telepathic connection, exchanging glances and began to refine their own works. Soon, the sand walls built by the six of them were all connected. At that moment, Su Youhui walked to the center of the six works, erasing the boundaries between them, and created a wide and even "street" that connected all the way to the "PK wall" made by Xiao Ying.
It is evident that the house has not been inhabited for a long time, as even the air is filled with dust
What is this letter? Why would Ye write her a letter? ... No, this is suspicious ... I must investigate this thoroughly. As Li Zheyu thought of this, he let out a deep sigh and turned to look at the dark clouds gradually gathering outside the window, his eyes reflecting deep concern
"Yu? Just a moment ago... probably went to the restroom!" Jin Yueye replied with a smile, shrugging her shoulders.
You spoke exceptionally well
Li Zheyu gently brushed aside the cobwebs that had formed in the corner of the wall and the door frame, and walked into the small bedroom where Jin Yueniang had once lain.
My work is 'The Castle of Fairy Tales', and I hope that the person I love can live happily and joyfully forever, just like the princesses in fairy tales
Golden Moonlit Night ... ... You are too polite!" Su Youhui leaned back, desperately maintaining a trembling, flower-like smile on her face, "I don't like bananas that monkeys eat ... ... Why do you insist on taking the bus with me to Xinghai? Aren't you the eldest son of the Jin family now? Your family must have plenty of drivers and luxury cars!"
There is a bonus of 50,000 yuan... I am just worried that Youhui does not want me to use the family's money to buy a Valentine's Day gift for her. If I can win the competition, the gift bought with the bonus will surely be more to her liking...
Now, we have just appreciated the works of all the participants, and everyone is truly impressive!" The host returned to the stage, "However, the emotions expressed in the works of a few young individuals are exceptionally sincere, but unfortunately, the works are somewhat immature...
Everyone is in a square area of approximately 2 square meters, holding the sand sculpting tools distributed by the competition, diligently shoveling sand. Despite the increasing strength of the sea breeze and the significant drop in temperature, everyone's spirits are continuously rising
After Jin Yueye finished speaking, she turned to look at Su Youhui beside her. In that moment when their eyes met, Su Youhui felt as if she had touched her own soul, her heart racing wildly in her chest, and her cheeks flushed crimson
In a strange sensation, Su Youhui gradually awakened. She blinked her eyes a few times in confusion, her gaze hazily fixed on the "Nobel Prize medal" tightly held in her hand...
Wow, Youhui! How amazing! The sand wall resembles the shape of the starry sea on the map, and the sand sculpture we made looks very much like the islands in the starry sea
"I only believe in the fate that I am willing to believe in," Jin Yueye murmured as she gazed at the ceiling of the bus. "What a headstrong person..." Su Youhui glanced at Jin Yueye helplessly.
As soon as the host finished speaking, Ling Chenxuan's face turned completely red, and he exploded with anger
The brainwaves filled with the adoring voices of infatuated men directed towards Bai Suji
As the beach was in a state of uproar, just a few hundred meters away from the sand sculpture competition, Li Zheyu gently pushed open the moss-covered wooden door and stepped inside the dilapidated white cottage.
Jin Yue Ye! You shut up!
As Su Youhui and the other two had just appeared by the seaside, a sound as crisp as a music box echoed across the beach. Before they could even comprehend the situation, Su Youhui was tightly embraced by a figure that seemed to have suddenly fallen from the sky
Ah, it's nothing. Jin Yueye came to her senses, smiling indifferently as she shrugged her shoulders, "Yu, special love... what do you think?"
More than two hours later, all the contestants who had been continuously battling against the sand were exhausted and collapsed onto the ground
Hehe! Qiu Xiaoying revealed a smile as innocent and lovely as a daisy, saying, "I am inviting everyone to participate in the 'Sand Sculpture Competition'!"
Stop being so verbose! What are you doing? What is that lying on the ground? Is it a cow!
"Let us go, precious items." Gazing at the dazzling smile of the golden moonlit night, Su Youhui's face flushed bright red. Outside the window, a vast expanse of deep gray ocean brought forth images that had long been dormant in her heart.
Rumbling rumbling rumbling rumbling rumbling rumbling rumbling rumbling - Bang!!!
This year's last day was unexpectedly spent in the sea of memories, quite interesting! Without an ending, there cannot be a beginning; perhaps this is a good omen
Jin Yueye stood offstage, as if she could see Su Youhui in her heart, standing with her hands on her hips and laughing heartily at the sky, raising one eyebrow and revealing a smile that was both indulgent and helpless. However, Bai Suji, realizing that something seemed to be missing, looked around and curiously called out to Jin Yueye.
Memory Sea, we are here again
It is indeed a coincidence; my work is also about a place I visited with my friends—the Mysterious Well. I almost lost my life here for the sake of the person most important to me. I want to tell her that, from beginning to end, I have never regretted the decision I made in that moment. Even if time were to turn back and allow me to choose again, I would make the same decision. Regardless of the past, present, or future... I am willing to sacrifice my life for the person most important to me.
"Night! Yu! Why did you just arrive now?" In the early morning, Xuan was holding the handbags of Bai Suji and Qiu Xiaoying, following them like a maid, and angrily walked up to Jin Yueye and Li Zheyu, "If I had known, I would have taken the bus with you. Staying by the seaside with these two girls who are as flat as boards is so boring!"
No, this is not the ocean; this is our sea of memories. Hearing the host's words, Su Youhui turned her head and looked at him seriously. In every place within this sea of memories—Star Pavilion, Angel Street, PK Wall, HAPPYHOUSE, Mysterious Well, Magpie Bridge, Lavender Flower Field... each carries and records our past. We once laughed here together, cried together, fell together, and then got back up together. We almost lost our most precious friend here, but ultimately broke through all misunderstandings and came back together. These sand sculptures are so naive, clumsy, childish, and ridiculous... but this is who we once were; this is our world! No matter how the wind and rain erode, how time washes away, or how the tides rise and fall, and the waves crash... our world will forever exist alongside this sea of memories, as will our love, friendship, dreams, and courage, eternally intertwined with our world!
"Then, please take a look at my work, esteemed host," Jin Yueye said with a smile, directing the host's attention to her creation. "It is truly strange... I can only say that my friends and I are so in sync that the works we created are all places we have visited together. What I made is our school's old library—Star Pavilion, because it holds the promise between me and the most important person in my life. I have heard that if you write your name and the name of the person you love in the sand, and it withstands the tide, they will never be separated. So, I placed our promise here, allowing time to test it, and I believe we can leave an everlasting mark of love by this sea of memories."
Return our 50,000 bonus!
Ding——
Indeed! Instant noodles worth 50,000 yuan! Because our event is sponsored by 'Master Chef Instant Noodles', it is the braised beef flavor worth 50,000 yuan!
Even the usually gentle and refined Li Zheyu showed a troubled expression, while Qiu Xiaoying, with tears glistening in the corners of her eyes, sought help from Jin Yuanye
Mission accomplished! After completing this street, Su Youhui straightened her back and proudly brushed the sand off her hands
Beep beep
Su Youhui, who was lying on the beach making final touches to her sand sculpture, felt her self-satisfied smile on her face twitch awkwardly.
A wave of warm applause erupted on the beach, and at the moment when Su Youhui deeply bowed to the audience applauding for her, she clearly saw the friends surrounding her, their clear eyes shimmering with tears of joy and excitement.
"So, miss, what is it that you do?" The host suddenly approached Bai Suji before the fist of the early morning show host came crashing down, and she just snapped back to reality, stammering her response.
I am Xiaoying! What I am working on is the PK wall and the ancient house number 23! Because there are ghosts there!
The brainwaves of Li Zheyu, filled with a warm smile
After visiting most of the contestants, the host stood in front of Lin Chenxuan's sand sculpture with a smile. He lowered his head in contemplation for three seconds, and then his eyes suddenly lit up
"You two really can't be quiet for a moment," said Li Zheyu, who was sitting on the other side of Su Youhui, with a smile. "Youhui, it was I who suggested to Ye that you sit on the bus together."
However ... ... soft and fluffy. ... ... ... sticky ... ? ... what is this thing
Moreover, Xinghai, our "Sea of Memories"... that vast ocean holds too many painful memories for the Night of the Golden Moon. Would choosing this day to go there hurt him...
Thank you all for your hard work! The host's resonant voice interrupted Su Youhui's gloom as he walked towards the nearest contestant with a wireless microphone in hand
Wow—fragrant, bananas! And they are peeled!
Suddenly transformed from a queen under the spotlight of thousands to mere dust in the air, Su Youhui stood on the stage in a daze, caught between laughter and tears
Thus, the beach became a chaotic scene, as the originally romantic and touching sand sculpture competition transformed into a "Instant Noodle Defense Battle"
I have made my decision! I will participate in the sand sculpture competition!
In the audience, Qiu Xiaoying was already eager to try: "Xiaoying has thought it through! Later, I want to be an Ultraman!" Su Youhui maintained a smile while continuing to listen to the host's explanation, but in her mind, she was nervously fidgeting with her hair like someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder, muttering to herself.
