Chapter 1035: Chapter 1018: Picking Up Shells Chapter 1035: Chapter 1018: Picking Up Shells By the time Gu Ning had finished putting away everything outside, he entered the house, only to find that Tang Yuxin had already fallen asleep, with her computer still on and displaying some sort of fighting game.

He didn’t know how she had managed to fall asleep like that, or perhaps she just liked the sound of it.

Gu Ning walked over, closed the laptop, and placed it aside.

Then he pulled the blanket up over her, as the warmth of the summer sun during the day gave way to a slight chill at night.

The area had distinct days and nights and clear-cut seasons, making it an ideal place to live with year-round temperatures within a comfortable range.

It’s no wonder so many people loved to vacation here.

The wind lifted a corner of the curtain, and occasionally a breeze laced with the scent of the ocean would enter, fresh and natural yet with its own unique salty crispness.

...

“Yuxin...”

Gently patting Tang Yuxin’s face, Gu Ning wondered if the five-hour flight had really tired her out so much.

She had slept all afternoon the day before, and all through the night without turning over once in her sleep.

During her workdays, even if she went to bed at four or five in the morning, a phone call from the hospital would have her getting up instantly, no matter what she was doing or if she was asleep, she would be full of energy, capable of performing a surgery and standing for hours on end even if she hadn’t slept the previous night.

But now that she was relaxed, she started feeling lazy.

“Yuxin...” Gu Ning patted Tang Yumin’s face again, “Wake up, it’s morning.”

Yeah, Tang Yuxin finally opened her eyes lazily, but morning, where was it bright?

She didn’t see any brightness, the sky was still dark.

She pulled the blanket over herself again and firmly covered her head with it.

She was sleepy and didn’t want to wake up, not at all.

She wanted to sleep a bit more, as she had finally gotten some vacation time.

If she didn’t sleep, she would be letting herself down, clearly forgetting who it was that had so ambitiously wanted Gu Ning to wake her up to see the sea and collect seashells.

Only in the early morning could one find beautiful seashells on the beach, and if lucky, even catch a crab or two.

Though there were many people outside selling such shells.

But what she wanted was the joy of collecting seashells, not buying them.

Those for sale were lifeless; she wasn’t interested in looking at dead shells.

If she just wanted to look, she could find a picture on the TV, or if necessary, take a stroll through the market and buy a large bag of them.

Taking their time, the two slowly made their way to the seashore.

This was Tang Yuxin’s first time seeing the sea.

The day before, she had only heard the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks and seen the sea and sky merge in the distance, but had never seen such a vast sea.

Even though it was still dark, the expanse of the sea left her dumbstruck for a while.

She, having lived inland all her life and only ever seen Blue River in Qing’an as the largest body of water, was truly overwhelmed and excited to see the ocean for the first time.

She might have been somewhat drowsy at first, but now she was as awake as can be.

She ran forward with a shout of joy, barefoot on the sand.

Although the seawater was somewhat cool in the morning, it didn’t feel cold at all.

Indeed, it was the time of low tide, and the receding waters left behind diverse shells scattered across the beach.

Gu Ning was holding a small cardboard box, saying it was for collecting shells for Tang Yuxin.

At this point, she didn’t care about looking childish.

Tang Yuxin felt like a kid, having grown up this big without ever seeing the magnificent sea before.

She shrieked, her bare feet on the beach, picking up one shell after another, of course taking care to avoid the sharp, pointed shells that might cut her feet.

But Gu Ning still thought it was quite dangerous.

He lifted Tang Yuxin’s shoes and placed them in front of her.

“Put on your shoes first.

There are some tiny shells here that could hurt your feet,” he said.

Tang Yuxin initially didn’t want to put on her shoes, but in the end, she complied and continued picking up shells on the beach, selecting the ones that looked nice and had unique shapes.

In no time, she had collected nearly a whole cardboard box full.

It might be because this was considered a private beach, and those who came here were staying in the nearby villa complex, which didn’t accommodate many people.

Very few would come out this early to collect shells.

As far as Tang Yuxin could tell, there were only about two or three people, and it seemed like they were the only few collecting shells along the entire beach.
