The next morning, as the first rays of dawn pierced through the clouds and quietly leapt into the sky, the red sun had not yet risen for long. Gentle sunlight spread like a light veil over the vast, boundless sea, and a gentle breeze swept across, causing the originally calm surface to ripple with layer upon layer of brilliant light that sparkled like countless precious gems inlaid within, creating a breathtaking view.
The sunlight at this hour was still mild, lacking the scorching intensity of noon. Gusts of sea breeze blew leisurely, caressing people's cheeks and bringing a hint of coolness that refreshed the mind and gladdened the spirit.
The beautiful beach was exceptionally lively, with bustling crowds flocking there to take advantage of the rare and pleasant weather. Some ran and played happily on the sand, leaving trails of deep and shallow footprints; others could not wait to rush into the sea, fully enjoying the coolness and exhilaration of the water. Swimming freestyle or breaststroke, their athletic forms moved as flexibly as fish in the water. Some young children played cautiously in the shallow areas, occasionally letting out crisp, silvery peals of laughter. The entire seaside was permeated with a joyful, relaxed atmosphere that intoxicated anyone who visited, making them reluctant to leave.
