A few hours later, the sports car stopped in the garage of the villa. It was almost dawn, but because of the arrival of the typhoon, the coastal cities were still shrouded in a dark and changing sky.
Zhou Yu's home is very luxurious, a three-story villa with an expensive piano in the living room. Although the lights were not turned on, they were tidied up in an orderly manner.
"Hush." Zhou Yu signaled Sun Ce not to speak, so as not to wake up his mother.
"There is no one else?" Sun Ce was a little surprised. In theory, there should be a housekeeper and servants.
Zhou Yu replied: "It's a typhoon day, everyone went home."
Zhou Yu gently took Sun Ce to his room on the second floor. Sun Ce soaked in the large bathtub of Zhou Yu's house, which was full of hot air. Zhou Yu took a shower in another cubicle. In the sound of water, Sun Ce asked leisurely, "Why are you so overwhelmed?"
Zhou Yu threw the towel angrily and said, "You killed me!"
"What's the matter?" Sun Ce said, "Is it about the exam? My grades were not good."
Zhou Yu was so angry that he had nowhere to go, so he finally had to sigh. After a while, he said: "I promised my uncle that if he fails to enter school and graduate, he will stop studying marine biology and come back to help manage my dad's company."
"Isn't this great?" Sun Ce said, "If you have money, what can't you do?"
"You don't understand," Zhou Yu said, "I don't like doing business. I like diving, surfing, and being free. I don't want to sit in an office every day."
After taking a bath, the two sat at the tea table in the room. Sun Ce searched in the refrigerator in the kitchen, found a lot of food, opened a bottle of red wine carelessly, and sat with his legs crossed to drink.
"How much is a bottle of this wine?" Sun Ce asked.
"Drink yours, stop talking nonsense." Zhou Yu said angrily.
Sun Ce said: "My grades were not good. Let's study for the summer vacation and make up the exam together. By the way, you come to my surfing team. Let's compete together, how about it?"
Zhou Yu finally did not reject Sun Ce this time, but said wearily: "Is there any point in your pursuit of that champion?"
"Of course," Sun Ce said, "Just like studying oceanography is your dream, surfing is also my dream. Isn't it great? I'll help you with tuition, and you go surfing with me?"
"You still have to take tutoring with your grades?" Zhou Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Sun Ce said: "My buddy Lu Meng has good grades, and Ling Tong's kid is also good. Ling Tong is in the same major as you, and he will catch up after the summer vacation."
Zhou Yu was noncommittal. Sun Ce looked at him with a smile, and stretched out his hand. In the end, Zhou Yu had no choice but to high-five Sun Ce and make a deal.
Ding dong, Sun Ce finally succeeded in attacking.
After waking up the next day, it was dusk and the typhoon left the country. After waking up, Mother Zhou entertained Sun Ce for dinner, and said to him with a smile, "Sun Ce, Zhou Yu will take care of you."
"Hmm." Sun Ce nodded hastily while eating the feast.
Zhou Yu's brows were obviously furrowed, very embarrassed. Zhou's mother said again: "Zhou Yu always had no friends in his previous school, which is rare. This is the first time he brought friends to his home..."
"Mom!" Zhou Yu said displeased.
Sun Ce laughed and said, "He's pretty good. We're going to surf and study together during the summer vacation."
"Very good, very good," Zhou's mother said, "Don't stay at home if you have nothing to do, don't go diving, it's good to surf on the beach with Sun Ce."
Zhou Yu hummed depressingly, "Understood."
After staying in Zhou Yu's villa for a few days, Zhou's mother bought a suit of clothes for Sun Ce and Zhou Yu respectively. Sun Ce seems to have been recognized by Zhou Yu's mother, and his confidence has become stronger, bossing around, as if he has become Zhou Yu's big brother. Zhou Yu was about to be pissed off by Sun Ce, but he couldn't resist, so he could only obediently follow him back to school.
Summer vacation is here, and the students have all gone home, leaving Sun Ce, Ling Tong, Zhou Yu and Gan Ning to stand in a row and practice surfing on the beach. Sun Ce introduced Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu wore a pair of blue beach shorts, nodded to everyone, and said little.
"Let's start!" Sun Ce was so confident that no one could defeat him this time. In his words, he couldn't defeat me, he could only make me stronger. Several people echoed and swam to the sea one after another, rolling and rolling with the waves under the scorching sun and the waves.
After joining Zhou Yu, the surfing team immediately became a whole. Zhou Yu was at the end of the team, sometimes turning around with Sun Ce, sometimes turning around together and rushing down from the top of the wave. At the beginning, Gan Ning and Ling Tong didn't like Zhou Yu very much, but Zhou Yu convinced them with his powerful skills.
Sun Ce asked everyone to set up the windsurfing sails and go into battle again to start the second round of competition. The four of them bypassed countless buoys and shot into the vast sea. When the strong wind blows, Zhou Yu's surfing skills are so-so, but the sails are extremely well controlled, obviously he used to play often.
The official competition schedule is very hard, with four hours and 12 links. Once you go out to sea, you will be affected by the weather, waves and personal skills. It is easier to suffer from heatstroke and collapse on the sea, which requires very high physical strength.
Sun Ce has gradually increased the intensity of training these days until he has completed the entire distance of the standard race. Zhou Yu is a little tired, but he also keeps up. His skin was almost tanned, and his face was a little peeling.
In the end, the four drew an arc in a beautiful formation, and finally rushed to the shore at the same time, which ended perfectly and ended the practice.
"The technology is good." Ling Tong said.
Gan Ning's evaluation of Zhou Yu was: "You are too arrogant."
Zhou Yu laughed in a rare way, and Sun Ce re-planned the formation, preparing to continue training tomorrow, and everyone dispersed. At night, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu sat in a small bar by the sea, spread out their textbooks, and reviewed fluid mechanics. Ling Tong made an appointment to come over, and under the sound of the waves and lights, he helped Zhou Yu review the knowledge again.
Zhou Yu studied very seriously this time—for the make-up exam and his persistence, Sun Ce listened to the scriptures, half-understood, and asked Zhou Yu after returning from evening self-study.
On the last day of the competition, Sun Ce came to find Zhou Yu. There is no need for training this day, Zhou Yu is sitting in a bar by the sea reading a book.
"Too nervous?" Zhou Yu asked.
"It's okay," Sun Ce said with a smile, "You read your book, and I'll sit with you for a while, and feel at ease."
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were sitting opposite each other. Zhou Yu was still reading, while Sun Ce was playing with a coin, tossing it back and forth repeatedly.
"You're worried." Zhou Yu said without raising his head.
"I'm not worried. With you and them, our team will definitely win," Sun Ce said casually, "This beach will not be taken away."
Zhou Yu closed the book and couldn't help asking Sun Ce.
"Why are you so persistent?"
"Why are you so persistent?"
Sun Ce asked back.
Zhou Yu asked again: "Do you believe that people have an afterlife?"
Sun Ce didn't know why, so he looked at Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu took a sip of summer iced tea, sat under the wind chime in front of the porch, looked sideways at the sea in the long night, thoughtful.
"When I was young, my mother and I went to the mountains to escape the summer heat. A master once said to me that the fate of people gathers and dies, just like this sea, like the waves in the sea, like sprays in the waves. Sometimes we meet together, sometimes there is no trace."
"So, you want to learn marine life?" Sun Ce asked.
Zhou Yu put one hand on his forehead, couldn't bear to look directly at it, and finally replied: "I guess, do you usually dream?"
Sun Ce said, "Do it."
Zhou Yu asked again, "What did you dream about?"
Sun Ce shrugged and said, "I forgot, I dreamed of sleeping side by side on the same bed with a very familiar stranger."
"anything else?"
"Also... it's a very beautiful place with beautiful lakes and mountains, and you can fly kites on bamboo rafts on the lake."
"The master told me that dreams are sometimes a past life that a person can't let go of."
"Hey, you're wrong to say that," Sun Ce said seriously, "This is called 'déjà vu'. The scientific explanation is that when you walk to a place, you will have a feeling of déjà vu on the scene, as if you have been there before. It's just our brains..." Sun Ce poked his head with his finger and said, "It's an illusion created by deceiving the central nervous system."
Zhou Yu: "..."
Sun Ce: "We are engineering students!"
"You won." Zhou Yu replied immediately.
Sun Ce said: "I stayed here because I grew up by the sea. This is my hometown. I like this beach. My mother and brother have gone abroad, so I didn't go with them. I even built a tower before. Luo card test, saying that my fate is here, and I will wait for those who want to wait. Go, go back to sleep."
Sun Ce carried the bag on his back, and Zhou Yu followed behind him. The sea tide fades away gently, thousands of stars rise slowly, and a Milky Way reflects the path on the seashore. Until the music on the beach faded away, and the sound of the rising and rising tide gradually left the world, only the pale yellow street lamps reflected the figures of the two walking side by side.
"Aren't you an engineering student?"
"Huh? Is there a problem?"
"Engineering students still do tarot card tests? Visual sense?"
"What is déjà vu?"
Zhou Yu: "..."
Sun Ce laughed, hooked Zhou Yu's shoulder affectionately, punched him in the arm, and asked, "Tomorrow is the match, are you confident?"
Zhou Yu replied: "If you fail, the beach will be gone. Do you really believe me so much?"
"I believe in myself." Sun Ce said, "This competition is only allowed to win, not to lose."
Seeing Sun Ce's confident expression, Zhou Yu smiled slightly, but sighed inwardly.
In the morning of the next day, the beach was crowded with people, and Golden Beach ushered in the most lively event of every summer: beach volleyball, surfing, swimming, beautiful women and handsome men. Many students who left school for the summer vacation are back, ready to participate in the beach volleyball game, and watch the next windsurfing competition by the way.
A huge TV wall is set up on the beach, and the sea water is so clear that it seems that through the boundless blue, you can see the gravel at the bottom. The wave rolled up the transparent wall of water and flew towards the sandy beach. The rule of this selection competition is to go around two coral islands through the established sea route, and pass through twelve suspended solar buoys. Every time you pass one of them, you must remove the pre-set marks on it.
This requires very high sail control ability, and one must have sharp eyesight and quick hands within one second of passing the buoy. Lu Bu was slender and strong, and when he walked towards the beach, there were crazy screams around him. Immediately afterwards, Sun Ce's team also appeared, and the two teams confronted each other, immediately pushing the atmosphere on the beach to its climax.
After the referee explained the rules, a whistle sounded, thousands of people cheered on the beach, and the two teams rushed out of the beach!
The first team is Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Ling Tong, and Gan Ning; the second team is Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Cao Pi and Ma Chao. A group of handsome guys with an average height of 1.8 meters, with their bronzed upper bodies naked, rushed out of the sea like flying fish on windsurfing.
The helicopter made a loud noise, and the cameraman took pictures from a height, and the eight snow-white trails dragged across the sea level, like comets who knew how to come and leave in a hurry in the universe.
Sun Ce shouted loudly, and several people's beach pants were rattling. At that moment, Zhou Yu looked at the leader Sun Ce.
The youthful and frivolous spirit shone in his eyes, like the scorching sun reflected in the vast sea. His eyebrows and eyes are sharp, and the white sail is like a water bird spreading its wings, skimming over the crest of the waves!
"Do you believe in dreams and past and present lives, Sun Bofu?" Zhou Yu whispered.
Lu Bu's black sail team caught up. He whistled at Sun Ce like a teaser, and the eight members of the two teams turned around at the same time, skimming a wave beautifully and bypassing the first buoy! Zhao Yun drove the windsurfing board, skimmed over the buoy, came up with an upside-down golden hook, and picked off the first mark. The moment Zhou Yu stretched out his hand, he almost got the mark, but Zhao Yun took the lead first, and immediately froze.
"Have you picked it up?" Sun Ce asked through the headset.
"No!" Zhou Yu said, "I made a mistake!"
"It's okay! There are eleven more!" Sun Ce shouted.
Zhou Yu was a little behind, chasing behind the team. Sun Ce put one hand on the communicator next to his ear and said loudly: "Gan Ning adjusts the formation and protects Zhou Yu!"
The formation changed, and the four of them changed from a single column to a peak formation led by Sun Ce. Lu Buna's team attacked side by side, Cao Pi and Ma Chao were slightly behind and blocked Zhou Yu.
The second bend was approaching soon, and the helicopter approached the sea surface. Immediately afterwards, a huge wave rolled up from the bottom, and the two teams were scattered with a loud crash!
"Sun Ce!" Gan Ning shouted.
"I heard it!" Sun Ce shouted through the headset, "Don't be nervous!"
The formation spread out, and Zhou Yu couldn't stop looking for the solar buoy reflecting the sun on the vast sea. As soon as the dark clouds were mentioned, a thunderstorm fell from the horizon, and the sea surface changed rapidly. Fifty kilometers away from the coast, it seemed that a heavy rain was brewing.
Lu Bu led his team members to rush from the side, and was about to rush forward to pick up the red marker, at the last moment, Gan Ning whistled and ran towards Lu Bu! Lu Bu turned his sails suddenly to dodge, but Gan Ning turned around at the last moment and snatched the second buoy.
"Good job!" Sun Ce cheered.
The third and the fourth, Lu Bu's team was obviously extremely strong, and they wanted to beat Sun Ce to the ground at all costs. Sun Ce was a little anxious, frowning deeply, but Zhou Yu's voice came from the earphones.
"Do you need to consider changing tactics?" Zhou Yu said.
"Defend," Sun Ce said, "We three will defend, and you will leave the rest."
The formation changed again, and when they reached the first coral island, Sun Ce and Gan Ning approached from both sides, and Ling Tong followed closely behind. The three restrained Lu Bu, while Zhou Yu was far ahead alone, rushing to the fifth buoy! The coral island blocked Lu Bu's view, only to hear him roar in the communicator, and Zhao Yun followed Zhou Yu closely, dragging a white wave on the sea!
"Do you want to play some tricks?" Zhao Yun smiled.
"I will accompany you to the end." Zhou Yu replied.
Immediately afterwards, the two of them leapt together, and took advantage of the huge waves rushing towards the coral island to fly up at the same time. Zhao Yun rolled his head and feet 360 degrees in the air, while Zhou Yu spun flat and passed the buoy like a spinning top!
At that moment, the commotion on the beach almost broke through the sky! Zhou Yu borrowed the force of that rotation, like a brilliant shooting star exploding in the ocean, and easily removed the fifth mark! Zhao Yun cheered, Cao Pi and Ma Chao caught up, and Sun Ce left Lu Bu, and the two teams formed a team again in the high-speed surfing, bypassing the coral island and skating to the distance!
The gust of wind on the sea is getting stronger and stronger, the plastic shed on the beach is blown away, and the distant clouds are rolling in.
The referee looked at his watch nervously, the sky was already dark, and he wondered if the game could continue, but the audience was reluctant to leave and made loud noises.
The helicopter flew far away, ten of the buoys had been removed, and Lu Bu and Sun Ce's respective teams got five, and Sun Ce's breathing was a little unsteady. Lu Bu used offense as his strategy, and hardly gave them any chance to counterattack. However, Sun Ce's team, relying on their teamwork, evened the score in countless close calls!
The eleventh buoy appeared 400 meters away. At the same time, a strong sea cyclone rolled towards them, and the helicopter was blown around. Lu Bu and Sun Ce, who had experienced sailing competitions, changed their expressions at the same time, knowing that it was an invisible air current. The sails were circling in the sea, and the two teams could hardly control the direction, and they furled the sails at the same time. Sun Ce and Lu Bu took advantage of this last opportunity to rush towards the buoy standing in the sea.
The two captains bumped into each other hard. Lu Bu was tall, 1.9 meters tall, with long fingers. When the two turned around, the moment Sun Ce stretched out his hand, there was only a centimeter difference from Lu Bu. Lu Bu got it!
"Oops!" Sun Ce shouted.
"Oops..." Zhou Yu's eyes reflected the vortex airflow in the zenith.
The two teams looked at the sky while speeding at high speed, their expressions changed.
"It's not a rainstorm!" Gan Ning shouted, "It's a tornado! Run!"
A strong cyclone suddenly formed on the sea, the vortex rolled up, and a roaring wind column went straight to the zenith, and then pulled up the entire sea surface, sucking hundreds of tons of seawater, connecting the sky and the earth!
The referee blows his whistle, signaling a stoppage of play, and the helicopter throws a rescue ladder. However, the tornado came too fast, and Lu Bu and Sun Ce no longer cared about directing the team to evacuate.
"Ride the sail!" Sun Ce shouted, "The direction of the tornado is not from our place—"
Everyone manipulated the sails to escape. The cyclone came so suddenly that no one even evacuated from the beach. They all stood on the top of the embankment and looked at the sea level.
The tornado swept across the coral island, and the trees, weeds, and soil were all rolled up. Just as everyone was evacuating, Zhou Yu resolutely turned the sail and rushed towards the last buoy!
"Zhou Yu!" Sun Ce shouted angrily.
Lu Bu's face suddenly changed: "You don't want to die!"
Sun Ce chased Zhou Yu, followed by Lu Bu, and rushed to the twelfth buoy, hundreds of meters away from the tornado. Zhou Yu's sail swayed violently, almost losing control at any moment, and being pulled into the sea.
All he could see was the glowing gold mark on the top of the buoy. At this moment, Sun Ce bumped into him from the side, abandoned his own sail, and balanced Zhou Yu's sail with the force of the collision. Immediately afterwards, the two stepped on the same pedal, Sun Ce controlled the sail with one hand, and held Zhou Yu's sail with the other. Waist, Zhou Yu leaned towards the buoy, but was dragged back by Sun Ce mercilessly.
"you… "
"You're crazy!"
Lu Bu caught up at the last moment, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu rode the board together, turned around with a drift, and flew towards the coastline.
That was the closest time the three of them came to death in their lives. As soon as they rushed fifty meters away, the tornado came with a thunderous force, tore the buoy into pieces, and rolled into the sky together with Sun Ce's sail.
The sky was furious, and the wind was so strong that Zhou Yu's heart was about to jump out of his throat. The tornado was left behind by them, and flew all the way to the beach. The wind is getting stronger and stronger, the beach has become a mess, and the torrential rain is pouring down. The moment Zhou Yu was on the verge of collapse, Sun Ce shouted, "You are too desperate!"
Zhou Yu waved his hand, Sun Ce quickly pulled him, and the rest fled to the embankment, watching the tornado in the distance.
However, the tornado did not rush to the shore, but swept across the two coral islands, and then rolled towards the depths of the sea. At the last moment, the dark clouds receded, revealing the splendor of the sea. A round of setting sun revealed a fiery glow from the clouds, sprinkled on the whole world.
Zhou Yu was still in shock, and he was still holding hands with Sun Ce. He noticed that everyone was looking at him.
Sun Ce slowly spread his hands, and what he and Zhou Yu were holding was the last mark.
"It's a tie," Zhou Yu said.
Zhao Yun and the others, even Lu Bu himself, seemed unable to believe it.
Zhou Yu laughed, but was pushed by Sun Ce and said angrily, "Still laughing!"
Zhou Yu laughed out loud, and Sun Ce was almost scared to death.
The beach was cleaned up again, the crowd gathered, and the referee counted the marks.
"There is no need to add time." Lu Bu said indifferently, "We admit defeat."
Zhao Yun waved his hand and said, "I admit defeat."
Sun Ce couldn't laugh or cry, and all the audience on the beach cheered at that moment.
Sun Ce shook hands with Lu Bu, each punched, and their fists met face to face. Sun Ce went up to put on Lu Bu's shoulder, wanting to say some more polite words to resolve their competitive relationship, but Lu Bu waved his hands and said, "I admire you both."
Zhou Yu sat in the bar drinking tea, looking at the setting sun in the distance, the overwhelming flames reflected in his pupils, just like a raging fire thousands of years ago, which has been passed down to the present.
As night fell, the Oktoberfest and barbecue meeting opened on the beach. Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun sat drinking together. Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Today's game was good."
Zhou Yu glanced at Zhao Yun and said, "Do you believe in past lives?"
Zhao Yun pondered for a while, then smiled disapprovingly, and said, "Why do you pay attention to these things?"
Zhou Yu looked at Zhao Yun, laughed, and patted him on the shoulder without saying a word.
"I've heard it before," Ling Tong said to Zhou Yu, "In our hometown there is a Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly Talisman. It is said that people who hold this talisman can recall their past lives in their dreams, so if they talk about past lives, maybe there will be one. "
Zhou Yu nodded thoughtfully. Sun Ce and Lu Bu each lit their own team's bonfire, stood up and called the team members to prepare dinner and have a barbecue.
Zhou Yu responded with a smile, holding a crystal cup in his hand, and walked on the beach barefoot. Sun Ce laughed hahaha, said something to Gan Ning, and took another sip of beer from his glass. Turning around and seeing Zhou Yu approaching, he took the cup and touched him lightly with a smile in his eyes.
The golden red of the bonfire was reflected in the cup, which quickly receded like a cloud. The rippling wine reflects the vast Milky Way on the zenith, the entire universe. The past, present and future seem to be spinning, gestating and transforming in these two cups.
The soft sound of clinking glasses spanned thousands of years and made the long years of the two teenagers. In the breeze and the sea, paved the way home.
