Ning Ke is an old friend of Yan Qing.

Yan Qing was abducted when he was nine years old and suffered a great shock. The good child was almost scared crazy.

Although through Liang Yunian's hypnosis, she turned into the clever and lively Yan Qing again.

But since that year, the Yan family has had a new activity.

During the summer vacation, Yan Sichen would take his wife and children abroad for vacation.

Every summer, they come to Clifton City and spend half a month here.

At that time, Yan Qing was still young.

She only knew that her father and brother seemed to be busy with something and she could never see her mother.

She was a little child who couldn't stand loneliness. She was always crying and running around in the holiday villa, and no matter what she did, she couldn't be comforted.

There were other boys and girls in the holiday villa.

They socialized and danced together, talking about things that Yan Qing couldn't understand.

Ning Ke is the only Asian face among them.

When Yan Qing saw him, she felt close to him and liked to hang around him.

After a while, looking after Yan Qing became Ning Ke's regular task.

Clifton City is located on the seaside, and the holiday resort covers a large area of ​​sea, with a coastline that stretches for dozens of miles.

Ning Ke has lived here all his life, and the tides of the sea seem to be engraved in his bones.

In order to prevent the child from crying, he always took the young Yan Qing to the beach and went fishing with her at low tide.

He always carried a small bucket, as well as a shovel, rake, net bag and other tools.

He was wearing a black T-shirt, shorts, and beach sandals, revealing his muscular, slender calves and arms.

At that time, Ning Ke was just a teenager.

He was a man of few words. He walked on the rocks and threw sea creatures into the bucket.

The twilight outlined the boy's neat figure, and his temperament was very much like that of some sea beast.

Yan Qing was like a little follower, jumping around Ning Ke, making a lot of noise, constantly expressing exclamations and praises, with his emotional value at its maximum.

Ning Ke bent down, used a tool to pry open the small oysters attached to the reef, and fed the tender meat inside to Yan Qing.

The first time she ate live oysters, nine-year-old Yan Qing was stunned. She couldn’t believe that these things could be eaten raw.

"No, I'll definitely have a stomachache if I eat it!"

She widened her eyes and waved her hands.

"And it's not washed, so there must be germs!"

Ning Ke explained patiently,

“As long as it has not come into contact with seawater, it is clean.”

He handed the oyster meat, which was as big as his little finger, to Yan Qing's lips.

"delicious."

Yan Qing was brave and curious, and finally he couldn't resist the temptation, closed his eyes and swallowed it in one gulp.

The taste was unexpectedly good.

The meat of the small oysters is very tender and smooth, like jelly.

It has the natural salty taste of sea water and is extremely delicious.

"Really?" Yan Qing smiled, "It's super delicious! Better than cooked ones!"

She was no longer afraid of getting a stomachache and kept asking for more.

Ning Ke couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, then he straightened up and continued walking forward.

If you find small oysters, just pry them open and give them to Yan Qing to eat.

If you catch other creatures, put them in the bucket.

When we returned to the villa, we set up a bonfire and a small pot, washed and cooked the food, and dipped it in seafood sauce as a midnight snack.

Yan Qing has lived in the imperial capital since she was a child, and seaside life is really fresh and fun to her.

And Ning Ke... doesn't seem to get along well with people of his age.

Those boys and girls with foreign faces, who ate and dressed much better than him, seemed to look down on him and never played with him.

After all, they were guests of the holiday villa, and Ning Ke was more like a servant being ordered around.

Only Yan Qing followed him like a little sparrow.

Two people stayed at the beach for a whole day.

Either watch the high tide or look for the gifts of the sea at low tide.

Yan Qing's fair skin would also be tanned red by the strong sunlight at the beach.

But she was not a squeamish person. Even though it hurt from the sun, she still insisted on going out to play.

Every time Yan Qing saw Ning Ke at the holiday villa, he felt like he was one year older.

From a delicate and pretty little girl, she grew into a young lady with a beautiful face.

The boys and girls who came to the villa for vacation have also grown up a lot.

There were also young men who spoke unstandard Chinese and wanted to strike up a conversation with Yan Qing.

But most of them were persuaded to give up by Yan Jin.

Unexpectedly, Yan Jin trusted Ning Ke very much and left her sister in his care.

Yan Qing still likes to go fishing.

Ning Ke sometimes felt strange, and he really wanted to ask Yan Qing why she liked to play with him when he was such a boring person.

But looking at the girl's smile, he finally didn't ask.

For Yan Qing, the name Ning Ke represents summer, sea, tides, sea fishing and... oysters.

She never thought that she would meet Ning Ke in the imperial capital.

What she didn't expect was that Ning Ke actually had her brother's phone card, and that his face was disfigured.

The story behind this... is really thought-provoking.

The two came to the rockery of the pavilion, and Yan Qing's head was full of question marks.

Ning Ke did not respond to her confusion at all, but directly informed her,

"Come with me."

"Leave?" Yan Qing was puzzled. "Where to?"

"...Leave China first."

Ning Ke looked around subconsciously.

"Next... adapt to circumstances."

"What? Leaving China?"

Yan Qingren was confused, "Why?"

“Because it’s unsafe.”

Ning Ke briefly explained,

"I came here to take you away."

Yan Qing widened his eyes, shook his head repeatedly, and took a step back.

"No, I don't want to leave with you."

"Why?" Ning Ke frowned, "I told you, this place is no longer safe. Do you want to die?"

"I won't die! Why do you say this place is unsafe?"

Yan Qing's attitude was extremely firm.

"I still have things I have to do... Besides, you suddenly showed up here and kept saying you wanted to take me away. That's suspicious!"

Ning Ke didn't expect her to be so stubborn, and he was not good at arguing, so he was choked and speechless for a moment.

"I'm not leaving anyway."

Yan Qing looked straight into his eyes.

"If you need help, you can contact me, but I won't leave you like this without knowing the reason."

Ning Ke hesitated to speak.

The next second, he seemed to realize something, hurriedly said "contact me later", and disappeared.

Yan Qing was left standing there in a daze.

"Miss! Why are you here?"

Gu Qingyan rushed over without knowing when.

"I thought you were missing! Was that man just here harassing you? I'm going to settle the score with him!"

"No." Yan Qing shook his head. "He... is also a fan of Alice in Wonderland. He came here to chat."

"Oh, that's good." Gu Qingyan nodded, "The comic exhibition is about to end, shall we go?"

"Yeah." Yan Qing pursed his lips and followed her silently.

***

The imperial city that never sleeps.

"Your little Yanqing seems to be a bit restless."

The white night seems to be smiling but not laughing,

"You're so damn brave. You dare to date anyone."

Fu Wangjin closed his eyes and said coldly, "This is because you are not careful."

"Tsk, you're protecting your own shortcomings, right?"

Bai Ye was happy and stood up from the sofa.

"Well, I wasn't careful. I'll go over and make amends."
