At the age of twenty-five, Shao Yuyou resigned and returned home to take over the seafood shop that his mother had been running for half his life.
This seaside town is not big, but it can completely contain all the memories from her childhood to the present. Those still-fading tides covered Shao Yuyou's sight. Everything around him had not changed, except that the ice rice and sweet water shop next to his shop had moved away. The shop was in a mess. He looked up at the plaque and read a few big words -
A snack shop by the stream.
One morning when she opened the door to unload the goods, she turned her head and found that although the room next door had not been renovated, the lights were bright. The boss sitting in the shop, with a clear face and eyes, was slowly eating a bowl of fish ball noodles with his head lowered.
When the man saw her walking to the door, he smiled and pointed at the squid in her hand: "It can be processed, boss. Do you want a bowl too?"

Bai Tingxi was seventeen years old that year.
Her parents divorced, and her mother took her to remarry her stepfather, and gave birth to a child with her stepfather. Bai Tingxi's place in the family suddenly disappeared.
She had nowhere to go and always felt homeless. After school, she often sat on the sidelines of the school basketball court in a daze. At that time, the women's basketball team was training on the court every day, and there were people's voices. Bai Tingxi felt very safe.
Among them was a girl with a high ponytail who was a senior from the next level. She seemed cold and unapproachable, but she was unexpectedly enthusiastic. She heard them all call her Xiaoyu.
It rained heavily that day, and Bai Tingxi had nowhere to go. The senior student named Shao rode her bicycle and then came back, taking her home. In the salty and sweet aroma of the seafood shop, under the hazy moonlight, Bai Tingxi looked out the window——
The spring tide was about to rise in the sea, and the sea water became a thread tied to her feet. She knew that she would come back again. On the day when the moon rises.
