Because of you, I love to laugh so much.

   Ripples spread across the azure sea, like a crumpled blanket, like Mu Weiyun's thoughts, impossible to smooth out...

  "Push me!" Mu Weiyun excitedly sat on the swing, gripping the vines with both hands.
  Bai Minghao smiled slightly, gently walking behind her and pushing with gentle force.
  The small swing rose and fell, the beautiful girl bobbing up and down.
  "A little harder." Mu Weiyun slowly released her hands, spreading them out to the sides.
  He smiled again, then suddenly stopped. The swing's rhythm slowed. Mu Weiyun turned to look at him. "Why aren't you pushing anymore?"
  "I want to sit too." Bai Minghao said, sitting down next to her.
  "No!" Mu Weiyun immediately refused, then stood up.
  "Why?" Bai Minghao looked bewildered.
  "If we both sit, who will push the swing?" Mu Weiyun feigned reluctance.
  “That’s perfect. Since you’re already standing, it’s your turn to push.” Bai Minghao sat down in the middle of the seat.
  Mu Weiyun pouted, “No.”
  Bai Minghao looked at her, “Then…”
  Before she could finish speaking, he pulled her down, and she sat on his lap. “Then let’s sit together.”
  Mu Weiyun’s face flushed slightly. “How can we sit like this?”
  Bai Minghao pushed off the ground with his feet, using the momentum to make the swing swing. “Just sit like this.”
  His hands went through her waist and then grabbed her hands. “Isn’t this nice?”
  Mu Weiyun didn’t speak, perhaps because she was shy.
  “Um, to be honest…” Bai Minghao hesitated.
  “Hmm? What?” Mu Weiyun asked.
  Bai Minghao smiled. “To be honest, you’re quite heavy.”
  “Hmph!” Mu Weiyun shook off his hands.
  “Hehe, are you angry?”
  Mu Weiyun turned her head to the side and didn’t speak.
  “I’ll make it up to you, okay?” Bai Minghao coaxed. “I’ll treat you to ice cream later.”
  Mu Weiyun spoke up. “I want vanilla.”
  “Okay.” Bai Minghao said with a smile.
  "Why are you always smiling?" Mu Weiyun suddenly asked. "Because..." Bai Minghao deliberately   left
  his sentence unfinished. Mu Weiyun was intrigued. "Why?"   "Will you tell me or not?" Mu Weiyun turned to look at him.   Their eyes met, seemingly exchanging electric sparks.   Suddenly, he gently kissed her, then whispered in her ear, "Because of you."   Mu Weiyun froze, her heart pounding.   The leaves rustled, and perhaps because of the momentary silence, they seemed to hear each other's breathing.   The sea breeze was bitter, carrying back memories of him and her. Mu Weiyun looked at every footprint she had left on the beach, as if asking herself why she still couldn't let him go.   Because...   she had loved him... and she still loved him...   A pair of shoes appeared in Mu Weiyun's downcast vision. She knew it was him.   She looked up. It was him. The sea breeze gently lifted the hem of his clothes, and he was smiling at her.   She asked, "Why are you always smiling so much?"   He smiled, "Because of you."
