The male protagonist Shinji is a young fisherman born in Utashima. His father died when he was very young, and his mother raised him single-handedly with the income from being a haenyeo.
He is tall and strong, with shiny black skin and a straight nose, but his lips are shiny and his eyes are dark and bright. It is said that mountains and rivers nourish people, and Shinji's growth is inseparable from the hometown that nurtured him - Utashima. Utashima is a small island with a population of less than 400 and a radius of less than four kilometers. It is backed by the Ise Sea and adjacent to the Pacific Ocean. It is a natural fishing holy land.
Xinzhi fishes from the sea every day. After catching fish, he will give some fish to the lighthouse director and his family. Who is the lighthouse master?
is the island leader who manages the affairs of the island. He provided a lot of help to Xinzhi. When Xinzhi was about to graduate from middle school, he could not graduate due to poor grades. His family was in a difficult situation and could not afford the extra expenses. Xinzhi's mother came to find him. The lighthouse manager's wife cried and complained. Seeing that she was really pitiful, the lighthouse manager's wife explained the matter to her husband. The lighthouse manager went to see the school principal, and Shinji was able to graduate successfully. Since then, in order to repay the lighthouse director's family, Shinji has given them fish every day, and he and their daughter Chiyoko often play together, and they have a good relationship.
Xin Zhi works in the sea every day. His life is hard but fulfilling! He fantasized that while he was still young, he would work hard to make money by fishing, so that one day he would be able to afford a motor and sailboat, and engage in coastal transportation with his brother.
But this expectation for the future was broken by a girl named Hatsue! Shinji and Hatsue met on a beach covered with sunset. That evening, Shinji was walking home after fishing when he met a girl. Maybe the boat had just been dragged ashore, and the girl was resting against the side of the boat.
She has a healthy complexion and beautiful features. Maybe she was too tired, the girl's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and her face was red, but when the wind blew, she looked even more energetic!
Xinzhi didn't know her. Driven by curiosity, Xinzhi walked up to the girl and stared at her carefully. When the girl opened her eyes, she was startled, got up quickly, glanced at Xinzhi, and left.
But the girl's appearance was deeply engraved in Shinji's mind. After many inquiries, he learned the girl's name, Hatsue, who was the youngest daughter of the island's rich man, Miyata Teruyoshi. After
found out, Xinzhi felt an inexplicable sense of loss. He was just an ordinary fisherman boy with no power, and others would definitely look down on him.
Forced by the disparity in status, Xinzhi had to suppress the inexplicable emotions in his heart and continue living!
A few days later, strong winds hit the island, and the fishermen stopped going out to sea, and Shinji was no exception. After attending the regular meeting in the morning, he took the initiative to help his mother in the afternoon and went up the mountain to bring back the firewood she had collected. When he was about to go home, he suddenly heard a sound coming from upstairs. Shinji quickly walked upstairs and saw clearly the source of the sound - it turned out that someone was crying. The crying person was Chujiang whom he thought about day and night.
In an instant, a huge sense of happiness surrounded Xinzhi. Xinzhi asked the reason why Hatsue was crying. It turned out that the lighthouse chief's wife invited her to attend the etiquette lecture, but she was lost.
After hearing this, Xinzhi immediately said: I will lead the way. Hatsue agreed. Xinzhi introduced the history of this observatory to her while walking.
After that encounter, Shinji's longing for Hatsue gradually deepened. As the saying goes, "If you don't see him for a day, you miss him like crazy." Chujiang also had an unknown and vague emotion towards this boy. At this time, they didn't know what the unclear emotions were, but something happened later that allowed them to see their own hearts clearly.
As usual, Xinzhi was fishing on the "Taiping" boat, but he heard others chatting: Kawamoto Yasuo was going to be Hatsue's son-in-law. After hearing this, an emotion called "jealousy" slowly spread in his heart, and Shinji felt sad.
After that, wages were paid on the ship. After getting the salary, Shinji was ready to go home. On the way home, he met Hatsue, whom he had not seen for a long time, pulling the boat. He went to help without thinking. After the boat was pulled ashore, Shinji Went straight home. Although he wanted to take a closer look at Chujiang, he suppressed his inner desire.
After arriving home, Xinzhi handed the money to his mother, but found that the money was missing. Xinzhi thought that it might have fallen on the beach while pulling the boat, so he turned around and went to look for it. Shortly after he left, Hatsue sent the wallet he picked up to Xinzhi's home. When he learned that Xinzhi had gone out to look for it, Hatsue turned and went to the beach to prepare to inform Xinzhi.
On the beach, the two people who had not seen each other for a long time finally met each other. Hatsue told Shinji what happened, and Shinji relaxed physically and mentally, but then thought of the rumors he had heard before, and immediately asked Hatsue if those rumors were true. Hatsue kept laughing after hearing this, and explained to Shinji that those words were false. After hearing this, Xinzhi was very happy.
At this moment, Shinji and Hatsue have confirmed their friendship with each other. They like each other and look forward to the long flow of "slowly fulfilling the trust for the rest of their lives, and the years will be quiet and peaceful with your words"!
After a kiss, Shinji and Hatsue agreed to officially start their date at the observation deck where they met last time.
That day, the sky was not beautiful and it suddenly started raining heavily. Shinji got up early, dressed himself up, put on a rubber raincoat and set out. He firmly believed that Hatsue would also keep his appointment on time.
When Shinji was walking on the beach, he saw a small pink shell, and he decided to give it to Hatsue as a gift. When he arrived at the observation deck, Shinji was soaked to the skin. He took off his raincoat, began to fumble for matches to light a fire, and waited for his lover to arrive.
It was still storming outside, but Xinzhi felt extremely at ease in his heart. With endless reveries about girls, Xinzhi slowly fell asleep surrounded by happiness.
When Shinji woke up, a figure appeared in the fire opposite. Apparently, his girl had arrived. But Shinji didn't call her, but squinted his eyes to admire the girl's half-naked body. Hatsue's skin was not white, but it looked particularly smooth and tight after being exposed to the rain, especially those shy breasts, which made Shinji both curious and excited.
Such a pleasant time did not last long. Shinji's blink disturbed Hatsue who was drying clothes opposite him. Hatsue immediately covered his chest with his hands and said: Don't open your eyes! Shinji immediately closed his eyes, but when he thought about it he felt that he couldn't keep his eyes closed forever, so he simply stood up and opened his eyes. This action made Chujiang feel even more shy, and he shouted again: Don't open your eyes!
But the straightforward Shinji didn't listen to Hatsue's words. He didn't understand why he felt uncomfortable when he saw the other person's half-naked body. He couldn't even speak normally or show intimacy.
The two stood on both sides of the fire and looked at each other. Hatsue acted more and more unnaturally. Shinji asked directly: "What do you want to do to be embarrassed?"
Maybe he wanted to tease Shinji, Hatsue said: "We two It would be embarrassing if you all take off your clothes." After hearing this, Xinzhi took off his upper body, but Hatsue didn't feel embarrassed yet because Xinzhi didn't take off his clothes.
Xinji thought for a while and said: "You take off your clothes, and I will take off my clothes too." Hatsue smiled, but no one understood what he meant. Hatsue took off her bra. Seeing this, Shinji also took off other clothes, and the two of them looked at each other naked.
As we thought, the next plot may be two people in love hugging each other, telling each other about their feelings, then kissing passionately, and then having sex as husband and wife. But the result was not like that. Shinji and Hatsue just hugged each other tightly, kissed hard, and never did anything beyond their limits. This seems to be an accident. It stands to reason that under such circumstances, Shinji and Hatsue could have done more things, but they adhere to moral principles and respect each other's wishes, which is really rare!
Shinji and Hatsue were immersed in the joy of embracing each other. The beauty in the ruins and the terrifying sound of the waves and the roar of the wind shaking the leaves appeared at the same amplitude. This seemed to be a gift from God.
Happy time is always short-lived. After they were happy for a while, they both got dressed. Shinji gave Hatsue a red shell he picked up from the beach. Hatsue liked it very much and immediately put it on his head. Then, at the end of their wonderful day, they hugged each other and returned home.
