Stars Fall Into The Sea, Love Never Fades Chapter 43

Chapter 43: Mountains and seas are allies and the world of fireworks

After Zhi Heqi graduated, he did not choose to work hard in a big city, but stayed in this small town by the sea.

They rented an old house with a small courtyard, placed the studio on the side facing the street, and hung a wooden sign saying “Xingluo Studio”.On the walls of the studio, half are pasted with children’s paintings, and half are hung with their starry sky and sea. Sunlight shines in through the glass windows, falling on the paint tubes and brushes, filling them with warm smoke.

The “Starfall Project” is growing in scale. They are no longer limited to communities and orphanages. They also cooperate with local psychological clinics to provide free art therapy courses for patients with depression.Zhi is responsible for designing cultural and creative peripherals to raise funds, while Qi stays in the studio, accompanying the patients to outline the light in their hearts stroke by stroke.

The days were dull and fulfilling.Every morning, Zhihui would get up first, cook a pot of porridge and fry two soft-boiled eggs.Qi Hui stayed in bed until the sunlight covered the quilt, then slowly stood up, stepped on the wooden floor with his bare feet, hugged Zhi from behind who was washing the dishes, put his chin on his neck, rubbed his shoulders and said coquettishly: “Can you not draw today and go to the beach to pick up shells?”

The executive turned around with a smile and pinched his cheek: “Let’s have an afternoon. There is a little girl coming to learn painting in the morning. She said she wanted to paint for her sick mother.”

Qi nodded and obediently let go of his hand, but did not forget to secretly kiss the corner of Zhi’s lips.

You can always see them at the beach on weekends.The executive committee is carrying a drawing board, and Qi Hui is carrying a food box filled with mango pancakes.They would find a secluded rock to sit down, draw pictures, and read books. Occasionally they would raise their heads and smile at each other. The sea breeze would roll up the corners of their clothes, carrying a salty and wet breath, as if time had slowed down.

“Zhi, look.” Qi suddenly raised his paintbrush and pointed at the sea level in the distance, “Does that sunset look like “Reincarnation of Stars” in our art exhibition?”

Zhi followed his gaze and saw that the orange-red sunset covered the sky and merged with the waves on the sea. It was so bright that people couldn’t take their eyes away.He stretched out his hand to hold Qi’s hand, and the fingertips touched each other. The warm touch spread from his palm to the bottom of his heart: “Like. It’s also like every day in the future we will be so good.”

Qi curled up the corners of his mouth, leaned on Zhi’s shoulder, and watched the sunset sink into the sea little by little.He knew that this was the life they wanted – with mountains and seas as allies, with fireworks as companions, and with each other by their side, day after day, year after year.
