Chapter 492: For the sake of her smile, it was worth it!

Afterwards, she picked up the sunscreen she had prepared and applied it to all the skin she had exposed.

"Alright, let's head out." An Yinan looked at Qiu Hua and smiled with satisfaction.

Qiu Hua did not pay much attention to her attire, and wore dresses even less often.

"Young ladies should dress up nicely. Just looking at these two vibrant girls makes one feel better." Grandmother beamed with joy the moment she saw the two girls.

She could never dote on them enough.

Liu Xicai, supporting the old lady, also smiled, "Who could say otherwise? Looking at beautiful things truly makes one feel good."

However, feeling the dress was a bit long, she used her other hand to lift the hem slightly.

"Big Aunt, you should wear a hat too." Nan Nan placed the hat directly onto Big Aunt; how could anyone tell she was fifty years old?

This was absolutely a beautiful woman in her thirties.

Big Aunt looked so good.

An Yinan exclaimed in admiration.

"Aren't you two wearing them?" Liu Xicai looked at the two girls.

An Yinan waved her hand; both she and Qiu Hua had their hair pinned up and couldn't keep hats on.

She had Grandmother and Big Aunt wear hats for fear of them getting heatstroke; after all, they were getting on in years, and heatstroke would be very taxing.

"We'll go around this way, walking and looking around, and in about twenty minutes or so, we'll reach the seaside."

An Yinan introduced the plan to everyone.

Zhao Qiu Hua was very excited; she had thought it would take a few more days to see the sea, and hadn't expected to see it today.

"The sea!" There were so many descriptions of the sea in books—some vast, some azure, some sorrowful.

Yet she could only imagine it in her heart, having never experienced it.

What would the sea look like in her heart?

"Haha, Qiu Hua, you like the sea so much!" An Yinan truly hadn't known that before.

Zhao Qiu Hua nodded, "Don't you yearn for it?"

She asked An Yinan directly.

An Yinan was stunned. In her previous life, she had no ability to yearn for it. By the time she earned her own money and traveled to many places, they were all places she had wanted to go but couldn't.

Later, as she went to more places, many memories became blurred.

And in this life, although there were many places she hadn't been, she had already witnessed prosperity and magnificent waves.

She had, instead, forgotten her former expectations.

"Perhaps it's because I've already seen it before?" An Yinan answered with a smile.

Zhao Qiu Hua agreed, "That's true!"

"Actually, Yuanyuan and Xiue both like the sea. When the four of us aren't so busy later on, we can come here for a vacation, stay in a small fishing village, face the sea, fall asleep listening to the sound of the waves every day, and wake up to the sound of the tide."

"Just thinking about that feeling is beautiful." Zhao Qiu Hua seemed to hear the sound of the sea; she ran forward a few steps and saw the sea she had always dreamed of.

"Nan Nan, I see it." Zhao Qiu Hua turned her head back, saw the three generations walking from afar, and waved her arm.

An Yinan smiled and waved her arm in response.

Grandmother and Big Aunt were also beaming at this moment.

There were no tourist attractions developed yet, no vendors selling things, and certainly no household trash.

The sea was bluer now, the sky was bluer, and the sky and water met.

An Yinan picked up her camera and took a photo of Zhao Qiu Hua.

The girl was waving her hand, looking into the distance with excitement, and An Yinan captured the moment she suddenly looked back.

Grandmother and Big Aunt were walking relatively slowly. The sand was soft; An Yinan had long since taken off her shoes and stepped onto the soft sand, feeling it slightly warm.

Grandmother took off her shoes too, though she didn't take off her socks, and followed Nan Nan's example, walking on the beach.

"This sand is so comfortable."

The white-haired old lady squinted her eyes in enjoyment, even wearing a somewhat cute expression.

Big Aunt put Grandmother's shoes into a bag, carried it in her hand, and took off her own shoes to put them inside as well.

"Yes! It's nice and warm." The gentle sea breeze blew the hems of their clothes and their hair.

An Yinan took a few snapshots, recording all of this in the camera.

"Grandmother, come quickly." Qiu Hua shouted loudly from the front.

An Yinan supported Grandmother, "Grandmother, let's go see what Qiu Hua is shouting about."

"Alright, alright." After arriving here, Grandmother was also like a child, full of curiosity and childlike wonder.

Liu Xicai took the camera and captured a photo of the grandmother and granddaughter together; in the photo, Grandmother was happily showing off something, and An Yinan was answering with a smile.

They hadn't planned this; it was just a sudden, temporary arrangement.

But she discovered that although she had taken good care of the old lady before, she had lacked deeper concern.

Now, seeing the smile on her mother-in-law's face, she felt this trip was worth it.

"Xicai, come quickly, look, pink seashells." Grandmother held the shells in her hand, turned back, and called to Big Aunt.

Liu Xicai ran over quickly, "Where? Let me see."

"Look, Nan Nan even found a blue seashell; this is just too magical. I always thought seashells were all white." Grandmother opened her hand, showed the three shells in her palm to Liu Xicai, and then treasured them by putting them into the bag Liu Xicai was carrying.

"We'll take them back for them to see; that bunch of blockheads at home definitely haven't seen such beautiful shells."

The old lady laughed happily and even splashed in the water a few times.

The seawater wasn't cold now, and the temperature was just right; the water washed over her feet, bringing a slight ticklish sensation.

"I'll listen to Mom." Liu Xicai smiled.

At this moment, Xiao Guo ran up, "Give the bag to me, I won't lose it."

He thought that since Guo Ge had given so many instructions for this trip, it must surely be a mission full of danger.

But seeing everything before them, where was there any sign of danger?

However, their people still cautiously stood guard not far away, neither disturbing them nor being caught off guard should any accident occur.

Along the coastline, the few of them walked and stopped intermittently.

"Grandmother, the sunset is almost here." An Yinan watched as the sun began to gradually sink.

She picked up her camera to take a photo, then put the camera down, choosing instead to stay by Grandmother's side.

Beautiful scenery can be found at any time, but loved ones will not be here forever.

"This is just too beautiful," Grandmother said in surprise.

Half the sky seemed to be reflected in red, a crimson glow filling the heavens.

Liu Xicai was on Grandmother's other side, while Zhao Qiu Hua sat on the other side of Nan Nan; the four of them sat leaning against each other, watching this beautiful scene together.

A moment they would never forget when they looked back on it in the future.

"It's getting a bit dark, Grandmother, you can't take your shoes off anymore." An Yinan helped Grandmother put her shoes on, took a cloak from her backpack, and draped it over Grandmother.

Although the temperature here was not low, Grandmother's frame was frail, and for someone of her age, resistance had declined, making it easy to get sick.

"Alright, I'll listen to Nan Nan," Grandmother said affectionately.

Suddenly, An Yinan came to a halt.
