When Mu Jiansheng was sixteen, a transfer student joined his class. The transfer student went up to introduce himself, while Mu Jiansheng slept with his head on his desk. In a daze, he only heard the words "from the city." The class bell rang, and Mu Jiansheng lifted his head, thinking, I don't know what that guy said, but he's got a nice voice. The next moment, the transfer student walked down from the podium and sat behind him. The transfer student was tall and good-natured, able to chat with anyone, but there was always something about him that felt out of place here. That's normal, Mu Jiansheng thought. He's from the city, so he must be a bit precious. After Mu Jiansheng had called him "city boy" over and over for several days, the transfer student gently said, "Jiansheng, I have a name." He handed Mu Jiansheng a note along with those words. The handwriting on the note was bold and sharp, not at all like the transfer student's own gentle temperament. Mu Jiansheng looked at the two characters "Bian Chao" and thought that both the surname and given name were pretty unusual. - One day, a year later, the transfer student left without a word. When they met again, Mu Jiansheng was twenty-six and a technical specialist at a shipyard. One day, the factory received a batch of orders, and the name of the person placing them stood out in the purchaser's column. Mu Jiansheng had long since moved on. Seeing those two characters, he couldn't help feeling that everything had changed. He was about to walk away when he heard a familiar, gentle voice behind him. "Jiansheng," the man said. "Long time no see." Mu Jiansheng realized his earlier judgment had been wrong He hadn't moved on. The proof was that he didn't really want to talk to the man. So Mu Jiansheng said nothing, while Bian Chao continued. "I haven't had a proper look at the sea yet," he said. "You said back then you'd take me to see it. Does that offer still stand?"
