Time is like flowing water, and when I don't know it, it's been a few hours... Few days.... A few weeks. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mingcheng happily works with his colleagues every day, and after work, he has Ling Xue by his side to spend dinner with him, living a happy life, and he will set off again for the official promotional video shooting on the isolated island of Sanya in three days.

However, on this day, Ming Cheng and Ling Xue came to Xia Mengyue's office together after discussion.

"Mr. Xia, we want to take a week off from the company, and we hope you will approve it" Ming Cheng and Ling Xue submitted a leave application to Xia Mengyue.

Xia Mengyue was a little surprised when she saw the two of them coming over together and applying for leave at the same time, she took the application and put it on the desk, and did not read the content of the application, but asked them directly, "Tell me what is your reason for asking for leave."

"I want to take Ling Xue to see the places where I used to live and work, so that she can understand my past" Ming Cheng didn't deliberately hide it, and replied very honestly.

“... Do you think this reason for your leave is valid?" Xia Mengyue raised her head and looked at Ming Cheng, "Don't you know that in a few days we will have to travel to work again?"

"I know, but for this official shooting, I personally think it will be safer to arrange Lu Yuan to go, after all, she is more professional than me, and if she travels, I believe it will do better than me."

"You haven't told me why you want to go with Ling Xue," Xia Mengyue emphasized the crux of the matter again.

"Because I asked him to take me on leave" Ling Xue, who was standing beside Ming Cheng without saying a word, suddenly opened her mouth and snatched the words, "We are ready to start dating, I want to know everything that belongs to him before the official relationship."

I don't know why, after listening to Ling Xue's words, Xia Mengyue's heart ached, and she felt so uncomfortable, "Yes, it turns out that you are going to start dating... Although the company is not against employees having office romances, you have done it too obviously, and it will affect the working atmosphere of the company."

"We know, but this is really important to us, I beg Mr. Xia for approval," Ling Xue lowered her head and pleaded.

"Well... I approve your leave" Xia Mengyue sighed deeply, in fact, she didn't agree because of Ling Xue's plea, but because in her opinion, Ming Cheng had a life-saving grace for her, and being able to fulfill them could be regarded as a kind of reward, "You guys go, but only this once, not for example."

"Thank you, Mr. Xia..."Ming Cheng and Ling Xue thanked each other in unison, and then turned around and left the general manager's office.

Looking at the vacation application form on the desktop, Xia Mengyue thought: Le Mingcheng... Le Mingcheng, you didn't call me Mengyue this time, is it because of Ling Xue's relationship next to you?Why did my heart feel like a knife after hearing you say that you were going to start dating, did I like you too?... Mingcheng.

Early in the morning of this day, Ming Cheng packed his luggage and walked to the bookcase, picked up the five silver chains and said to the five people in the photo frame in front of him: "I have a favorite person now, but she doesn't know my past with you, now I decided to tell her everything in the past, take her to the place where we live together, and go to see you... I know that I am not qualified to have a happy life and a family of my own, but I consciously tell me that I can't live up to this girl who loves me deeply, so I hope you can forgive me for my selfishness and accept her by my side" Then his gaze shifted to the two women in the photo "Natasha, Miho, in my heart, I will always love you deeply, forever".

...

"Le Mingcheng... You bastard, do you have a time when you won't let me wait for you?" Ling Xue, who was standing at the gate of the Osaka community with her luggage, scolded at Ming Cheng in the car.

Looking at the angry Ling Xue outside the car window, Ming Cheng immediately said quibly: "Ouch~ I just went to refuel, after all, I want to get on the airport expressway, how can I do it if I don't go to refuel."

"Hmph~ There are many reasons and excuses for you, every time."

"Okay, come ~ come ~ come, give me the luggage" Ming Cheng got out of the car and took Ling Xue's luggage and put it in the trunk of the car, "Let's go, I'll make amends to you later, don't be angry."

"Hmph..."Although on the surface, Ling Xue was angry because Ming Cheng was late again, but in fact, she was very excited and happy in her heart, because this was the first time in her life that she went out with a boy and left the city.

...

Arriving at the airport, after completing some check-in procedures, the two got on a plane to California International Airport in the United States.

"Le, I really didn't expect that the place where you used to work was in California, USA."

"What's the matter, we're just landing there, and then we're going to change ships and sail at sea."

"Eh~ Isn't there a direct plane where we are going?" Ling Xue asked curiously.

"No... Because it is a city abandoned by the world and full of sin, the name is Santa Annapura (a coastal city on the coast of California, USA, a place of pure fiction, not in reality), there is not even a coordinate on the map, it is like a hellish place" When Ming Cheng said this, his eyes and face changed, and he felt as if he was full of murderous aura.

Although Ling Xue on the side couldn't tell what it was like, looking at Ming Cheng's expression, she couldn't help but be scared, stretched out her hand and trembled slightly, holding Ming Cheng tightly.

Ming Cheng, who came back to his senses, looked at Ling Xue, who was a little frightened because of himself, and hurriedly comforted and apologized: "I'm sorry, I scared you, I just accidentally returned to the way I used to be, I'm sorry... But don't worry, although it is very dangerous there, I will definitely protect you, and I will never let you disappear from my sight or be hurt in the slightest.... Believe me... Okay?".

Ling Xue smiled and slowly leaned on Ming Cheng's chest, "I believe in you, as long as you are there, since I have fear in my heart, I am not afraid of anything."

At this time, Ming Cheng felt a trace of warmth, gently stroked Ling Xue's hair, and slowly closed their eyes and fell asleep in the cabin.

....

"Ming Cheng and Ling Xue should have set off by now" Xia Mengyue tilted her head by the window of the office, looked at a plane rowing by in the vast blue sky, suppressed the indescribable grief in her heart and said to herself, "Bless you, I hope you are happy."

....

The Port of Oakland is located in California on the west coast of the United States, at the southeast end of the Golden Gate Strait, on the east shore of the mouth of San Francisco Bay, across the bay from San Francisco, is a typical fjord port.

"Le, aren't we going to buy a ticket to the sea?" the two walked slowly holding hands.

"No, most people don't know about that place, and there is no special boat to lead there" Ming Cheng stopped, looked at the strong black man who was leaning on the handrail, and turned to walk towards him.

"take~me~to~avalon (take me to Avalon)".

The black man turned around and took off his sunglasses with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Okay, you're~ing~with~me."

The boat was slowly moving on the sea, Ling Xue looked at the endless sea, and couldn't help but ask Ming Cheng curiously, "Aren't we going to Santa Annapura?"

"yes".

"But why did you just say to that black man that we were going to Avalon?"

Ming Cheng held up Ling Xue's chin and said jokingly: "It's rare to have such a beautiful beauty around, I thought about it and decided to sell you for money."

Ling Xue didn't care about this sentence, because in her heart, Ming Cheng had always been an open-mouthed person who loved to laugh, stretched out her hand and gently pinched his shoulder, "I hate it, okay.... Tell me if you're serious."

"Avalon is a code, a pass to confirm the visit, because if you say Santa Annapura directly, no one will take us there, they will pretend not to know the place," Naruto explained.

"Is it really that complicated there?".

Ming Cheng held up Ling Xue's hand and gently kissed it with his lips, "Are you afraid, if you're afraid, it's still too late to go back now."

Ling Xue withdrew her hand, put her arms around Ming Cheng's waist, and leaned on her chest, "I have already told you on the plane, as long as you are here, since I have fear in my heart, I am not afraid of anything."

Hearing this sentence again, the relieved Ming Cheng joked again: "Are you really not afraid of anything? Then I will really sell you, see if you are afraid."

"Fuck it~ Stinky bastard" Ling Xue pinched Ming Cheng's thigh hard again, and Ming Cheng almost didn't cry out in pain.

In this way, the two arrived at their destination, Santa Annapura, accompanied by a cheerful fight.

Sant Annapura is a paradise for gangsters and mercenaries, divided into two districts (the Old Town and the Special Forces Zone), the Old Town: the people who live in it hate the powerful, hate the luxurious life outside, hate the inequality of being born in the slums, they are not bound by any law, they can carry out all the inhumane crimes, shootings, robberies, brawls, forcible x, murder and arson, these are all too common in the Old City, but they are still subject to the only restriction that they are not allowed to step into the Special Forces Zone without permission。

The boat that Ming Cheng and Ling Xue were sitting on docked at the edge of the harbor in the old city, from where they landed on the trail.

"Xue, you listen to me carefully, after entering the city, no matter where you go or what you do, you must follow me closely, and never let go of your hand and me, you know?" After speaking, Ming Cheng opened his suitcase, took out 2 silver chains from it, and brought them to Ling Xue.

Ling Xue lowered her head and looked at the chain around her neck, "What is this?"

"The military identification tag, referred to as the dog tag, is engraved with the name, blood type, military registration number, military type, military rank, and the unit to which it belongs."

Ling Xue picked up the tag and looked at it carefully, "How can you have such a thing, and the natasha~balalaika and miho~revy on these two pieces, who are they?".

"I'll explain to you later, let's go to the city first" Ming Cheng didn't explain too much, stretched out his hand and led Ling Xue to take her to the city.

"Well, let's go...."Although Ling Xue's heart was full of doubts and fears, she was actually not afraid, and even felt some expectations, just because... With a loved one by your side... Just because... That person was Narukoto.
