Chapter 008: The Tide is Going Out
after eating.
The parents then took a shower and went to bed.
There weren't many forms of entertainment in the 1990s.
There were no cell phones or TVs, and everyone basically went to bed early, since they had to get up early the next day to work.
……
Why are you sitting so far away?
In Fang Hao's bedroom.
He noticed that Song Yaxin was huddled in the corner of the bed, deliberately keeping a safe distance from him.
"No...no."
Song Yaxin pursed her lips.
He quickly shook his head and didn't say anything more.
Is this a rhetorical question?
She was probably afraid that Fang Hao would harm her.
"Am I that scary?"
"If someone really wanted to do something to you... do you think you could resist? Even if you screamed your lungs out, it wouldn't make a difference... Besides, we're a married couple who've already gone through the wedding ceremony, so even calling the police would be legal."
Fang Hao joked with a smile.
He knew that Song Yaxin was wary of him.
However, these days, people follow their husbands wherever they go, and there's no such thing as marital incompetence. It's not the ridiculous era of later generations.
Even if he really wanted to do something.
Even if Song Yaxin resisted, it was no use.
"..."
Song Yaxin was immediately speechless.
That's a rough but true statement!
Thinking about it, it really is true.
If Fang Hao really forced her to have sex, she wouldn't be able to refuse and would have to accept her fate.
"alright!"
"I was just joking with you."
Song Yaxin was rendered speechless.
Fang Hao quickly changed the subject.
Don't mess things up!
"How about I sing you a song?"
The atmosphere became somewhat silent.
Fang Hao suddenly had a sudden inspiration.
Take advantage of this moment when I'm a little bored!
This is a perfect opportunity to cater to her interests and get closer to Song Yaxin.
Although he wasn't particularly talented at singing, he was still quite good at karaoke, and he often went to nightclubs and karaoke bars with his friends.
"what?"
Song Yaxin was also taken aback.
Clearly, she hadn't expected Fang Hao to say that, and he even sang for her.
You need to know about music from the 90s.
That was the peak of the music scene.
Hong Kong Island saw the emergence of numerous superstars, with a constant stream of classic songs, truly an era of epic competition.
Song Yaxin also enjoys listening to music.
She likes singers like Jacky Cheung and Faye Wong, and even has an unrealistic dream of becoming a singer.
of course!
Everyone has dreams.
For example, Fang Hao wanted to become the boss of a triad.
Unfortunately, he could only live as a good-for-nothing gangster in the countryside, wasting his life.
"Cough cough cough!~"
Fang Hao cleared his throat slightly.
Then she began to sing a cappella.
"I haven't really had a chance to experience it properly yet..."
A song by Queen Wang, titled "Red Bean".
Fang Hao knew the songs Song Yaxin liked.
It just so happens that he still remembers one of them!
It's not bad to sing it now to make a girl smile; after all, I'm a guy who frequents karaoke.
"?"
Fang Hao was really singing.
Song Yaxin couldn't help but frown slightly.
This song doesn't seem to match any of the songs I remember hearing. Could it be a new song?
That sounds pretty good!
Fang Hao was singing very seriously.
She regained her composure and continued listening.
Sometimes
I believe everything has an end…
As I listened...
Song Yaxin's cheeks flushed slightly.
Fang Hao sang while looking at himself with deep affection.
I felt a little shy and embarrassed for a moment.
They say talented men are the most handsome!
Fang Hao's singing now did indeed evoke a different feeling in Song Yaxin.
This era!
Romance is something to look forward to!
soon.
The song was over in one go.
Song Yaxin still seemed a little unsatisfied.
"how?"
"It's alright, isn't it?"
Fang Hao said with a smile.
He had listened to this song countless times; he knew it by heart.
Although I don't sing as well as those singers, I'm definitely at least at a 70 or 80 level.
"It sounds...good."
"Whose new song is this?"
Song Yaxin nodded slightly.
Then, still very curious, he asked.
"Um...from Hong Kong Island."
Fang Hao paused for a moment.
This song is Wang Tianhou's signature work.
It won't be available for at least several more years.
I'll borrow it for now!
"oh oh."
"It sounds nice."
Song Yaxin nodded.
There was no suspicion.
After all, most singers nowadays come from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the mainland is also deeply influenced by the entertainment culture of these two regions.
"Hahaha~"
"Absolutely!"
Fang Hao said with a smile.
This is a timeless classic.
It was a hit for twenty years in its previous life and is still loved by many people; it's also a must-sing song in karaoke.
"..."
Song Yaxin glanced at Fang Hao.
A strange glint flashed in his eyes.
"Um?"
"Why is it so noisy outside?"
Just at this time.
Noises kept coming from outside the house.
It seems like a lot of people are passing by my house.
"The villagers have gone to the beach."
"The tide will recede around 11 or 12 o'clock."
Fang Hao shook his head and said.
Clearly, they are very familiar with this.
The so-called "going to the beach to collect seafood" means going to the sea to collect seafood.
Every year when the tide recedes significantly on the 15th of the lunar month, the sandy beach is exposed, allowing people to dig for snails, catch crabs, and knock down oysters.
Actually, you can go to the beach during the day or at night, it just depends on when the tide is right.
"Going to catch something in the sea?"
Song Yaxin immediately became interested.
Keep in mind that her home is 20 kilometers away from here, not a village by the sea, and she is not familiar with the sea, let alone ever having been to the beach.
"Um."
"Mom will probably get up and go out soon too."
Fang Hao nodded and said.
Every time there's a big beachcombing event, many people from the village go, mainly women and children.
After all, you can sell crabs and other good stuff for some money, and you can eat snails and other things you dig up for your family.
"What's wrong?"
"You want to go too?"
Seeing Song Yaxin's heart fluttering expression.
Fang Hao immediately understood.
"No...no."
Song Yaxin quickly shook her head.
Although I was genuinely curious and wanted to see it, I decided against it.
"You practically had 'I want to go' written all over your face."
"Let's go! I'll show you..."
Fang Hao isn't exactly a straight man.
Taking the initiative at times like this is beneficial; taking Song Yaxin to the beach can also enhance their relationship.
The feelings between people.
That means more contact is needed to improve the relationship.
"..."
Seeing Fang Hao's actions.
Song Yaxin couldn't help but feel happy; she hadn't expected him to have such a thoughtful and warm side.
It even feels a bit unreal!
"Change into some older clothes before you go."
"Don't let all the good stuff get gone. Hurry up and grab a good spot. Maybe we can even get some good stuff for supper tonight..."
Fang Hao urged with a smile.
Then I went out first.
Beachcombing is a skill that requires expertise.
"Uh-huh."
Song Yaxin nodded.
A sense of anticipation began to stir within me.
After all, this was her first time going to the beach at night, and she was very curious about what beachcombing was like.
For people who do not live by the sea.
This is still quite a rare thing.
