Manye and Heidi sat opposite each other on the floor at the stern, with the two children sitting on either side. The four of them formed a small circle and placed the notebook in the middle.

"Everyone writes two wishes. What should we write?" asked the little brother.

"Just write about this journey and do whatever you want," Heidi replied.

The kid's eyes lit up, "Then can you write about meeting a girl who makes your heart flutter?"

"No, you're still too young. Please don't think about falling in love every day." Heidi rejected it outright.

"Humph, it's impossible to even think about it. You know so many handsome guys... and you met one right after you got on the boat..." the kid muttered.

Heidi's eyes were already murderous.

"Are you really not siblings?" Wan Ye looked at the two of them. "The wish is to follow your heart, but you are so young, the word 'heart-throb' is not suitable for you. You can change it to 'meet a girl you think is beautiful'."

"Brother Wanye is still the best, but what is beautiful?" asked the little boy.

Wan Ye thought for a moment, "I can't really explain it. To me, it's probably like a mountain of red leaves and a clear sea. You'll know when you see it."

The kid seemed to understand, so he took the notebook and wrote down the first two lines carefully:

—Help grandpa find his friends.

—Meet a girl who makes you feel beautiful.

Heidi also thought seriously about her current wishes and wrote down two of her own.

—Can give some help to others.

—Forged the knife successfully.

"Why would it be to give some help to others?" Wan Ye asked.

Heidi smiled and said, "Of course I saw that you just solved a problem with a little trick, so I hope I can meet one myself so that I can satisfy my craving for tricks. Besides, it must be very happy to help others, so of course I want to be happy myself."

"Okay, then I'll help you keep an eye out for opportunities to perform." Wan Ye said and handed the pen to Qingqing.

Qingqing tilted her head and looked at them. She didn't seem to understand the wishes. Her world was small and fulfilling. "Brother Manye, I don't seem to have any wishes."

Wan Ye looked at her and said gently, "That means Qingqing is very happy, which is good. Then use your wild imagination."

Qingqing thought for a moment and said, "Auntie is always very happy when she basks in the sun on the deck. The sun can bring happiness."

Holding a pen, he wrote in the notebook:

—Become a little sun.

—Turn into a little butterfly.

Heidi took a look and couldn't help but touch Qingqing's little head. Even the wish was so cute.

Finally, it was Manye's turn. Manye thought for a while and then picked up the pen seriously:

- In times of danger, you can fight alongside your friends.

—Laugh out loud and from the bottom of your heart.

Heidi looked at the two lines quietly and glanced at Manye secretly. Under her face as gentle as water, there was also a slightly lonely heart.

Qingqing suddenly came over to Heidi, blinked her big eyes and asked, "Oh, I remembered a little wish I have. Can I continue writing it?"

Heidi held Qingqing on her body and asked, "Tell me what your wish is. I will help you judge."

Qingqing leaned close to Heidi's ear and spoke while covering it with her little hand.

After listening to this, Heidi said, "Although the rule of two wishes per person cannot be broken, this little wish can be used as an Easter egg. Write it at the end of the notebook. If the previous ones are completed, we can do this one. Okay?"

"Okay, okay!" Qingqing nodded with satisfaction.

Manye was curious, "What wish is it? Can we know?"

"It's a girl's secret." She touched Qingqing's little head and leaned close to her ear, "Add a sentence after your little wish..."

The child loved secrets the most. He nodded vigorously, jumped off Heidi, took the small notebook, ran behind Heidi, and quietly wrote down a little wish.

……

At night, the sea breeze was stronger, the clouds blocked the moon, and it was a little cold on the deck. Only the sailors would occasionally take a look around, and there was no one else.

The cabin was very lively. There was a jar of wine half a person's height on the wooden table, and a pile of large bowls stacked high next to it.

There were a lot of people sitting around the table, mostly crew members, but there were also passengers who came to watch the fun and wanted to have a bowl of wine.

Manye had seen it often, so he leaned against the outermost door. He smiled as he watched Heidi tiptoeing to look inside, and the other two little ones also trying to join in the fun.

Beidou, dressed in red, looked heroic. He walked to the wine jar, hooked his fingers slightly, and brushed away the red cloth on the jar.

She proudly placed one foot on the foot of the stool and said loudly: "Today, I will open the jar of new wine, let's drink together!"

The mud seal on the wine jar opened with a sound, and the cabin was instantly filled with the aroma of wine.

The spectators nearby couldn't help but say, "This smells like good wine!" After saying that, they placed the large bowl flat on the table.

Beidou smiled and picked up the wine jar with one hand. He tilted it with force, and the amber wine swayed and fell into the large bowls.

She raised the full bowl of wine high up and said proudly, "Come on! We won't leave until we are drunk today!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her head and drank the whole bowl in one gulp. After finishing, she turned the bowl upside down without spilling a drop. "Good wine!"

The spectators responded one after another, taking a bowl from the table and walking to the side to taste it.

"You two little brats are not old enough to drink." Beidou was sharp-eyed and stopped the president and Qingqing who were reaching out their hands.

The two little ones walked away with pouting lips.

"What about me? I can do it, right?" Heidi asked as she approached. "This wine smells so good, it makes me hungry."

Beidou looked at it and shook his head, "It's too young. Girls shouldn't drink casually outside."

"Big sister, just let her have a small taste. It's all my fault for promoting it for so long." Wan Ye said as he approached.

"New friend?" Beidou asked.

"Well, she's a photographer from Fontaine, Heidi," Wan Ye introduced.

"Hello, Big Sister Beidou. The Southern Cross Fleet is very famous on the sea. This time I finally have the chance to ride on it." Heidi said with a smile.

"Hello, Heidi." Beidou was in a good mood after drinking a bowl of wine. "Manye, your friend speaks very beautifully, so let's drink some."

"But if she drinks, you can't drink." Beidou looked at Wanye.

"Yeah." Wan Ye responded obediently.

"Hey, I'm welcome then." Heidi reached out to take it.

"Wait, this bowl is too big," Beidou stopped him, "The facilities on the ship are limited. I'll go get Manye's drinking utensils. You can use his."

"Ah."

After a while, Beidou handed Heidi a small ceramic cup, which was a small bowl.

Heidi joked, "It turns out Manye's alcohol tolerance is so small, he can only drink in one gulp."

"The big sister doesn't let me drink more." Wan Ye felt a little embarrassed at this time.

"I always feel that he is too young, and I'm worried about him drinking too much. He is different from other sailors." Beidou is as attentive as an older sister.

"This cup is quite special." Heidi took a closer look and saw two maple leaf patterns and seven small words burned on it.

"Freedom in the vast sea of ​​waves." Heidi finished reading and savored the words carefully. "This sentence is applied to the sea. It refers to both the wine in the glass and the waves on the sea. It is really appropriate. How can you think of it so well?"

Wan Ye didn't say anything, just watched her from the side. She took a sip, her eyes bright as if she was very surprised, and asked Beidou for some more. Because of the alcohol, her face soon turned slightly red, but she didn't realize it.

For a moment, he felt like he saw a red cherry hydrangea, which was quite beautiful.
