Chapter 29 Seeing the Sea
29 I saw the sea
Ignoring Yinmei's cold eyes, Xiaowei resolutely chose to continue riding in Haitao's car, with a sense of the tragic heroism of "knowing there is a tiger in the mountain, and still going there".
Once some balances are broken, there is no need to worry about them.
There were laughter and joy all the way, and the nursery rhyme that we had memorized so well made the scenery along the way even more beautiful.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, we arrived safely at the seaside town.
The town is half the size of the one Xiaowei lives in, but it has an abundant seafood scene.
After checking in the room, we rested until three in the afternoon when the sun was setting and a group of children couldn't wait to rush to the beach.
When the road ran out, the little girl shouted excitedly: "I see the sea, I see the sea!"
"I saw it too. It's really big."
Yinmei laughed and scolded: "Naive, there is no such thing as a small sea."
I parked my bike at the seawall, ran down the bank happily, stepped onto the sandy ground covered with small reeds, and ran towards the water's edge.
"Don't take off your shoes. If they're wet, they're wet. Don't hurt your feet."
Qian Xiuwen gave the order without losing any time.
Everyone ran towards a pile of rocks by the water at the same time. Xiao Wei followed them slowly. Seeing Shi Mingsong and Qian Xiuwen standing on the left and right, like flower protectors, he found it funny but said nothing.
When they reached the reef, the water was already knee-deep. They all took off their shoes and climbed up the reef to look into the distance.
Xiao Wei was no stranger to the sea. He calmly trudged to the outermost tall and flat reef and climbed up with all his strength.
Qian Xiuwen and Shi Mingsong looked at each other, each grabbed one of her legs, and lifted her up together.
Then the relay began, and two little girls and two boys climbed onto the reef one after another. They continued to pull up and push down, and more and more people climbed up.
Seeing that he couldn't help, Xiao Wei walked to the edge, faced the sea, opened his arms like a bird, closed his eyes, and felt the warm and bitter sea breeze.
The two little girls jumped for joy: "Is that a seagull?"
"should be."
"Ah. There's a boat over there. It's really small."
"There's a fish! A fish jumped out."
"I saw it, too. It was quite big."
Behind the reef, Qian Xiuwen called out, "Xiao Wei, don't get too close."
Shi Mingsong said directly: "It's dangerous. Be careful."
Xiao Wei received the warning and looked sideways. The classmate who was hit on the head climbed up and asked vaguely, "Where is the fish? Let me see."
Taking advantage of the moment when she bumped into him, Xiao Wei suddenly turned around and hugged her, and with the help of inertia, they fell off the reef together.
As the little girl screamed, the two of them splashed water with a splash.
The moment he touched the water, Xiao Wei nimbly pushed her away and swam quickly to the other side of the reef. He soon leaned against the reef, gasping for breath, and looked coldly at the guy struggling in the water.
Several boys who could swim shouted and came over from both sides. It took a lot of effort to drag the man into the shallow water.
Xiao Wei, who was pulled to the side, was obviously frightened. He was shaking all over and couldn't speak.
The classmate who fell into the water was finally able to spit out a few mouthfuls of soup after being patted by everyone. He caught his breath and glared fiercely at Xiaowei who was sitting paralyzed in the water. He was also speechless.
Qian Xiuwen looked at Haitao coldly: "Is this also an accident?"
Haitao bit his lower lip, leaving a deep tooth mark: "Of course."
Seeing that the others were silent, and Shi Mingsong had already grabbed Xiao Wei's waist, helped her stand up and walked to the shore, Qian Xiuwen nodded with difficulty: "Okay. You have the final say."
The student who fell into the water finally burst into tears: "It's all my fault. It's all my fault that I didn't stand firmly. I almost hurt Xiao Wei. It's all my fault."
Yinmei said: "It was purely an accident. No one wants to joke with their own life."
Another close friend chimed in: "Unless you don't want to live anymore, you'll want to take someone with you before you die."
It seemed that Xiao Wei's repeated attempts to commit suicide had reached their ears. Everyone's attention quickly focused on Xiao Wei.
Even if he had not attempted suicide, given Xiao Wei's cold personality that treated life and death indifferently, and his loneliness and hopelessness in not being interested in anything, they would have believed that Xiao Wei had ulterior motives.
Qian Xiuwen said angrily: "What do you mean? Are you saying Xiao Wei did it on purpose?"
"I didn't say that. You misunderstood us."
Seeing that the situation was about to get tense, Xiao Wei sighed and stopped them: "I have no desire to live, and I wanted to hurt her intentionally. I have bad intentions. I apologize. I'm sorry."
Yinmei pressed the issue further: "Human life is at stake, is that all you need to do? Just say sorry?"
Hai Tao said loudly, "That's not true. I saw it with my own eyes. It was purely an accident. Don't blame anyone else. Let's not talk about it."
Everyone started to play peacemaker: "It was an accident, we all saw it."
"That's right. No one wants this to happen, so don't take it personally."
"The surface of the stone is not flat, so it is normal to slip."
"There's no irreconcilable hatred, so there's no need for misunderstanding."
"Yes. It's not worth worrying about at all."
"If we can get along, then we can get along. If we can't, then we should not have any contact in the future. Why should we become enemies?"
"The water isn't deep and everyone is here. If I really wanted to commit suicide, I wouldn't choose this time or this place."
Hai Tao resolutely issued an order: "Let this matter be forgotten, and no one is allowed to mention it again."
At this point, any explanation was unnecessary, so Xiao Wei shut up.
The two little girls were also frightened and could not stand up, so the two boys had to carry them on their backs. Compared to their excitement when they came, they all looked unhappy.
Xiaowei chose to sit in Haitao's car as usual, as if nothing had happened.
"sorry."
After keeping some distance, Haitao whispered with difficulty.
Xiao Wei calmly whispered back, "It's okay."
"There won't be a next time."
"hope so."
The dinner was quite awkward. Even though there were a few lively elements trying to interact, the atmosphere was still not good. Everyone went into the room early. The two naive little girls were still pestering Xiao Wei to teach them how to sing. Xiao Wei also tried her best to cope with it, not wanting to leave a psychological shadow on the children.
Qian Xiuwen and Shi Mingsong no longer hesitated and called Xiaowei outside to a place where there was no one around, begging Xiaowei for forgiveness: "It's not that we have to worry about the exam and admission, we have to be serious about this matter."
At this time, admission is not only based on scores. The school also has considerable decision-making power. Temporary transfer students like Xiaowei, who have incomplete files, lack of integrity, flawed morals, difficult to check academic performance, poor relationships with classmates, and other trivial reasons, can all be used as reasons to be rejected.
"I know you don't care whether you can pass the exam or not, but what if your score is high enough? We really don't dare to take the risk. I'm sorry, it's our fault."
Xiao Wei chuckled: "First, I can swim. Second, if you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have made a prompt decision. Forget about this matter, and don't mention it again."
In the darkness, Haitao promptly replied, "Okay. Don't mention it again."
Walking to the front, Haitao said again: "Don't worry. Xiaowei, as long as you can reach the passing score for the college entrance examination, it will be fine."
Qian Xiuwen nodded: "I believe you."
"Thank you."
Haitao opened his arms and hugged Qian Xiuwen, and then hugged Shi Mingsong.
Looking back, Xiao Wei turned around and left knowingly.
