Chapter 142: Little Puppy
After having some snacks to cushion their stomachs, the two called a car and headed towards Qingxi Bay.
Their arrival was perfectly timed—
The setting sun painted the entire azure sky crimson, each layer of clouds draped in a dazzling veil.
The boundless sea reflected the sky, the water merging seamlessly with the horizon, a magnificent sight.
Wei Shi and Shen Shuman took off their shoes and socks, strolling along the beach.
The sand beneath their feet was fine and soft, dampened by the waves and still slightly warm.
The salty sea breeze blew against their faces.
Shen Shuman held down the hem of her knee-length skirt with one hand and tucked her windblown hair behind her ear with the other, following Wei Shi to a less crowded area.

She conceded, placing her hand in his large one and carefully climbing up.
Wei Shi was right. The view from a higher vantage point was indeed more expansive and magnificent than from below.
The wind whipped the sea surface into waves that crashed against the shore, roaring and splashing.
At the horizon, a fiery red sun slowly dipped below the skyline, sinking into the sea.
Seagulls circled above the water, their white wings flapping up and down, occasionally swooping low over the surface, as if dancing gracefully.
A faint crescent moon could be seen in the distant sky.
Wei Shi sat down beside Shen Shuman, and she followed suit.
They sat shoulder to shoulder, quietly gazing into the distance.
After a while, Wei Shi broke the silence. “There’s a legend about Qingxi Bay, I wonder if you’ve heard it.”
“What legend?”
“The story is a bit long…” Wei Shi said, his deep, clear voice carried away by the sea breeze.
“A long time ago, Hannei Island was just a small, unknown fishing village. In the village lived a pair of childhood sweethearts. The boy’s name was A-Qing, and the girl’s name was Xiao-Xi.”
“When A-Qing was still young and didn’t understand love, he boasted that he would marry Xiao-Xi when he grew up.”
“As time passed, they grew older. To marry his beloved, A-Qing started fishing at sea with his father early on.”
“One day, as A-Qing and his father were preparing to return, a typhoon suddenly struck. They were trapped at sea, unable to return.”
“During that time, many men from the village who went fishing perished in the typhoon.”
“The villagers said the Sea God was angry and needed a pure virgin, both in body and soul, to be sacrificed to appease his wrath.”
“The people of this small fishing village had relied on fishing for generations. Even though every family was reluctant to sacrifice their daughters, they had to choose someone.”
“Just as everyone was arguing about which woman to sacrifice, Xiao-Xi stepped forward.”
“Actually, when A-Qing went missing, she had already thought of going to find him. However, her family refused to let her go out to sea. So, she wanted to use this opportunity to search for her beloved and see if he was still alive.”
“She bravely boarded the fishing boat prepared by the villagers and sailed through the wind and waves. Finally, after a day and night of tossing and turning, at dusk, she saw A-Qing, who had accidentally fallen into the sea from his broken fishing boat.”
“She anxiously jumped off the boat to save him. But, after drifting for so long, both of them were exhausted and unable to climb back onto the boat.”
“On the verge of death, Xiao-Xi sadly kissed A-Qing’s lips. At that moment, the world changed dramatically. The stormy sea instantly calmed down.”
It was just an ordinary story, but narrated by Wei Shi’s magnetic voice, it became incredibly romantic, tender, and lingering.
Shen Shuman listened quietly, even the vast sea seemed to quiet down under his gentle voice, becoming calm and docile.
However, Wei Shi’s next sentence immediately pulled Shen Shuman out of the story—
“It turned out that their love moved the heavens, so God spared the small fishing village that was destroying the marine ecological environment.”
“Pfft…” Shen Shuman couldn’t help but laugh. “A perfectly good love story, and you mentioning ‘destroying the ecological environment’ makes it sound like a public service announcement.”
“…” Wei Shi pinched her cheek. “Did this advertisement teach you to respect nature and protect the environment, little one~?”
