Chapter 4: The Girl

The sunset is red, the sun has sunset, the sea is glowing with orange-gold light, and not far away the seabirds are returning to their nests in flocks, and a small helicopter is quietly parked on the bare beach.

"It's here. The sea breeze was blowing, and Yin Yuyao stroked her hair that was blown up.

"Hey, why is the helicopter pilot gone?" she got out of the car and looked into the cockpit of the helicopter.

"You won't run into enemies, will you?" said Lai, looking around, and then cautiously ran to the helicopter. It was a large red and white civilian helicopter with the cockpit and cockpit doors closed.

Closer inspection revealed that the glass was intact, the iron sheet was shiny, and there were no signs of an attack, more as if the driver had left for some reason.

"Probably that person received some urgent mission, really, and he didn't report me. Yin Yuyao turned to Li Jinyi, "Do you know how to fly a helicopter?"

"I've learned a little, but I'm not very proficient. "In the course of Xingyu Academy, civil aircraft piloting is an elective course in the eighth year, and Li Jinyi happened to choose this course, but he just passed.

"Then~ give it a try?" Yin Yuyao made a gesture of please.

Time was pressing, Li Jinyi didn't hesitate, he climbed into the cab hard, checked the instrument with sporadic memory, and then sat in the co-pilot's seat.

"After checking, hold this and press this again, and it should start. Li Jinyi had words in his mouth.

With a slightly rusty operation by Li Jinyi, the rotors of the helicopter turned, and it seemed that he had not forgotten everything.

"When this indicator light is on, it's time to raise the joystick, are you ready?" he looked at Yin Yuyao, a hint of smugness on his face.

"Okay, hurry up. Yin Yuyao said impatiently.

The rotors rotated rapidly, the indicator light lit up, and Li Jinyi began to lift. A feeling of overweight came and then disappeared. At this time, the helicopter had already detached itself from the ground and rose into mid-air.

"Success!" Li Jinyi shouted excitedly.

"Not bad, not bad~ The coordinates are on the electronic screen, drive there, thank you for your hard work, I'll rest for a while, I'm going to call me when I arrive. With that, Yin Yuyao closed her eyes.

"No problem. "Li Jinyi has just overcome a big hurdle, and he is full of confidence at the moment.

The helicopter left the beach and began to fly towards the middle of the Mediterranean.

Suddenly, there was a shout from below.

"Hey, hey, Lord Yin, I'll go to the bathroom, why did you just take the plane away! Hey, my lord! Wait for me!"

A middle-aged man in a pilot suit jumps on the beach and waves his hands, trying to get attention.

"Ignore him, leave him on his laurels and leave him here as punishment. Yin Yuyao said without opening her eyes.

"So cruel to yourself, Lord Yin?" Li Jinyi sneered.

"Don't call me that! It sounds like I'm older than you. Yin Yuyao twisted her body and wanted to change her sitting position.

"I would venture to ask, are you the daughter of a high-ranking star of the Star Brokers?" Li Jinyi glanced at her, "Don't get me wrong, I think this mainly because I know one of the few Star Brokers in the Star Alliance, and her father is also one of the four heads of the Star Brokers, I think you should know her, and I have also heard her called 'Lord' by some Star Brokers." ”

"Lena Fields, you say?" Yin Yuyao opened her eyes.

"Well, exactly, do you know each other?"

"Of course, it's not just that we know, we are good sisters~ When I was a child, we played together every day, but since the Fields family suffered that incident eight years ago, she actually clamored to go to school at the Star Royal Academy on your Cloud Peak Star Island, she is a star intermediary! Moreover, she was only 10 years old at that time, and she had to run away to study in a helpless place alone, and his father Eichel disagreed with ten thousand in his heart, but in the end he couldn't resist his baby daughter and let her go. I occasionally sneak over to see her, eh~~ Maybe we've seen her before. ”

After speaking, Yin Yuyao looked at Li Jinyi, as if she was expecting something, but Li Jinyi didn't react.

A hint of loss flashed in her eyes, and she asked again: "By the way, how is she doing over there, is there anyone close to her over there, especially men?" Gossip is the nature of girls, and so is Yin Yuyao.

"In my impression, she gets along quite well with everyone, and as for the male classmates who have a good relationship with her, well~ there is such one. ”

"Oh, it can't be you, right?" Yin Yuyao asked pretending to be careless.

"No, it's my good friend, Lu Xin. Li Jinyi replied.

......

"Ahh

On Yunding Xingyu Island, more than 10,000 kilometers away from North Africa, in a two-story villa, a boy who looked about the same age as Li Jinyi sat on the sofa and sneezed loudly.

"Damn, someone is saying bad things about me behind my back?" a long snot appeared on the boy's face, probably from the sneeze he had just sneezed.

This person is Li Jinyi's friend Lu Xin.

"What time is it, why hasn't Xiao Xuan come back yet, shouldn't she go to play next door?" Lu Xin reached out to touch his mobile phone, ready to make a call.

At the same time, the phone vibrated and someone was showing an incoming call on the screen, and seeing that the caller was "Dear sister!", he immediately connected the phone.

"Hey, Xiaoxuan, when are you going home? Although Lu Xin was anxious in his heart, his tone was very gentle, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.

"Brother, the people in the team are going to come to the house for dinner tonight, and on the way back, I happened to meet Sister Lena, so I called her over by the way, it seems that the food at home is not enough, you have to go out and buy some." There was a girl's voice on the phone, it was Lu Yixuan's sister Lu Yixuan, she was shopping with several girls at the moment, one of them was Lena Fields that Li Jinyi and Yin Yuyao talked about, that is, "Sister Lena" in Xiao Xuan's mouth.

"Oh, well, okay, I'll go. When he heard that he couldn't be alone with his sister tonight, Lu Xin seemed a little disappointed.

"That's it, bye-bye, thank you, brother. ”

"Well, bye-bye, stay safe outside. Lu Xin hung up the phone, got dressed, left the house, and ran towards the vegetable market.

......

The scene returns to the sky over the Mediterranean.

"Huh?!"

In the helicopter, Yin Yuyao's exclamation came from her, she had just finished listening to Li Jinyi's description of Lu Xin.

"Do you mean to say that the man closest to Lena is actually a cowardly, lustful, not serious, and very self-righteous sister control perverted man? And this man's sister is still Lu Yixuan, unbelievable. Yin Yuyao stomped her foot angrily.

"Well, I didn't say that, your understanding is too extreme, he's not a bad person. By the way, you mentioned Lu Yixuan just now, do you know her?"

"She's recognized by the high-level within the Star Intermediary as the strongest combat force in the new generation of your Star Alliance. Yin Yuyao leaned towards Li Jinyi and whispered, "There is no one." ”

"The evaluation is so high? But yes, I've heard Lu Xin say that she can use magic at the age of 5, read a magic book at the age of 8, complete all the courses of the Star Royal Academy at the age of 9, enter the Ministry of Magic for an internship at the age of 10, and win the championship at the magic competition jointly organized by the Star Alliance and the Star Intermediary at the age of 11, and then won two consecutive sessions in the next two years, so that she was embarrassed to sign up. At the age of 13, he became a full-fledged member of the Ministry of Magic. At the age of 15, he single-handedly killed the general Bishop Max of Saquig, and at the age of 16, he founded the 'Arc of Silence' team, leading the team to make countless contributions. At the age of 17, that is, recently, 4 team members terminated a branch base of the passive net. Li Jinyi actually said a lot of information about Lu Yixuan in one breath.

Yin Yuyao was unhappy when she heard this.

"Yo?!Rolling melons are ripe!Remember so clearly, you shouldn't be interesting to others, right?!" Yin Yuyao got closer than before, and poked Li Jinyi's shoulder a few times with her fingers.

"Don't get me wrong, Lu Xin mentions these things in my ear every day, so that I can memorize them, just now I was just learning from him, so that you can experience this kind of noise. Li Jinyi smiled.

"Oh~?" Yin Yuyao tilted her head, "Then I'll barely believe you." ”

"I didn't expect you to be quite gossipy, why don't you talk about yourself?"

"Hmph, there's nothing to talk about this girl. Yin Yuyao muttered in a low voice.

"According to your qualifications, there shouldn't be no suitors, could it be because you're too barbaric and scared everyone away?" Li Jinyi deliberately stimulated.

"I want you to take care of it!" Yin Yuyao waved her hand at Li Jinyi, pretending to slap him, and a breeze came from her sleeves.

At this moment, Li Jinyi's expression froze.

He was surprised to notice that in the breeze, there was a faint fragrance that he was very familiar with, maybe he was too nervous to notice that this fragrance was not the fragrance of tea brought out of the teahouse, more like, more like...... What was it, his head was stuck.

"This girl is going to sleep, remember to call me when she arrives!" Yin Yuyao closed her eyes.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Li Jinyi's mind, and he remembered it! Isn't this smell exactly the flowers brought by the aliens on the mountain behind Master's house? That kind of flower is very strange, and the fragrance of flowers is said to last for a hundred years, so it is regarded by aliens as a symbol of friendship and love, and after the planet was destroyed by the void, the aliens brought this romantic plant to the earth, but the earth's environment is not suitable for their growth. What is planted on the sacred mountain today may be the only one left in the entire universe.

Master Xu Xiao cherishes these flowers very much, and has never picked them after planting, and the fragrance of the flowers on the girl in front of her is definitely not sent out from the master, so it must be the ones that Li Jinyi secretly picked a few years ago.

Li Jinyi took out a slightly worn star-striped coin from his pocket, then turned his head to silently glance at the girl who called herself Yin Yuyao. Yin Yuyao, who was squinting on the side, saw this scene and shrank nervously.

"Is that her?" he sighed softly, falling into memory.

That was a few years ago.

After Li Jinyi was adopted by Xu Xiao as a child, he lived in the master's mansion, although Xu Xiao nominally adopted him as an apprentice, but still arranged for him to study with his peers in the Star Royal Academy. Xu Xiao, as the deputy leader of the Star Royal Alliance, has high power, and he is also handsome and chic, very popular with the opposite sex, and is "busy with official business" all year round, and rarely teaches Li Jinyi empty-handed. Usually only Xiao Li Jinyi lives in the house with a presbyopia mother-in-law who is responsible for cooking.

About 7 years ago, when Xiao Li Jinyi was eleven years old, when he was practicing with robots in the yard, he looked up and found a person wearing a panda hood sitting on the courtyard wall, wearing a white hoodie and jeans, looking thin, about the same height as Li Jinyi, like a boy.

He beckoned to the man, who jumped down and didn't speak, but it was clear from the gesture that the man with the panda hood also wanted to play a few tricks with the robot. Li Jinyi agreed, and the panda head walked up to the robot, kicked it out violently, and kicked the robot to pieces with just one blow.

Li Jinyi was dumbfounded, this little thin panda head who was about the same height as himself had such strength, and he could scrap a robot that could be on an equal footing with ordinary Star Alliance fighters with one kick. Li Jinyi felt that he could learn a lot of combat skills from this person that he couldn't learn in school, so he wanted him to stay and accompany him in his cultivation.

But the panda head was reluctant and waved away. Li Jinyi took the hand of the panda head and begged bitterly, saying that his life was miserable, his parents died, the master was not at home all the year round, and his friends lived far away from him, and he was very lonely at home, hoping that the panda head could stay with him to practice, and finally took out a private snack gift bag, and under the double strategy of emotional cards and sugar-coated shells, the panda head agreed.

The panda head seems to be a mute and doesn't say a word. He told Li Jinyi through writing that his home was far from here, but seeing that he was so pitiful, he would barely stay for a while.

In just a while, he cleaned up Li Jinyi's snack gift bag, and deliberately turned his head when eating, gently lifted the front end of the hood, and quickly put down the hood after sending the food into his mouth, as if he didn't want Li Jinyi to see his true face at all.

After that, the two practiced against each other for a while, and Li Jinyi was beaten unilaterally. By dusk, Li Jinyi had a blue nose and swollen face, and the panda looked at the time, signaling in sign language that he was leaving, and before Li Jinyi could stay, he jumped out of the wall and disappeared without a trace.

At night, Li Jinyi lay on the bed with plasters on his face, looking at the starry sky outside the window, thinking that it would be nice to see that powerful guy tomorrow.

He never expected that he would get what he wanted. The next morning, because it was a weekend, Li Jinyi got up late, and when he was half asleep, he felt something poking his face, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the panda head was holding a wooden stick in his hand, and the other end of the wooden stick was against Li Jinyi's face. Li Jinyi jumped up from the bed excitedly and hugged the panda's head.

In the days that followed, on holidays, and even occasionally on weekday afternoons, the panda head would appear in the yard, and the two of them would either practice or drink tea while listening to Li Jinyi talking alone. Li Jinyi wanted to introduce Panda Head to his friend Lu Xin, but Panda Head refused, he didn't seem to want too many people to know about it.

The panda head saw that his birthday was approaching on the profile that Lai brought back, so a few days later, he gave Lai a gift β€” a delicate star-patterned coin with a blue glow of the globe in the center.

Li Jinyi liked this gift very much, he asked about the birthday of the panda head, and found that the difference was not far from him, so he also wanted to prepare a birthday gift for the panda head.

Li Jinyi secretly went to the mountain in the middle of the night to pick a few flowers, when he was still young and didn't know how to do any tricks, just packed it in a sealed bag and gave it to him on the birthday of the panda head.

The panda head opened the sealed bag and smelled the refreshing fragrance through the hood.

"It's very fragrant haha, these flowers are called Bividwu, which translates to 'the stars flow, this love is eternal'. It is said that after the flowers leave the branches, the fragrance of the flowers can last for a hundred years, and aliens often use them as gifts for lovers, but we are both men, and we are not, so we will not become lovers, but this is the best birthday gift I can think of, so I want to give it to you as a friend, as a symbol of friendship for a long time!"

The panda head stood there in a daze, and after a few moments came to his senses, he took out the pen and paper in his pocket and wrote, "Thank you, I like it very much." A few words.

"Hahahaha, no thanks, I'm afraid you won't accept it. I risked being kicked out of my house by Master, hehe. Li Jinyi grinned and scratched his head.

After that, the panda's head seemed to have become much gentler, and his hands were much lighter than before during sparring.

Li Jinyi's situation of being beaten all over his body and purple has decreased sharply, which makes him feel that he has made rapid progress and is very proud.

In the days to come, the two will also sneak out of the Cloud Peak Star Island on their rest days on their rest days, piloting a flying machine that the panda head got out of nowhere, and travel around the world. The two have enjoyed cherry blossoms at the foot of Mount Fuji, fought bears in Siberia, basked in the sun at the top of the pyramids, fished on the Huangpu River, experienced the prosperity of the Champs-ElysΓ©es, experienced the desolation of the Middle East, touched the bitter cold of the Antarctic ice sheet, and enjoyed the warm sunshine of Hawaiian beaches.

However, even though the two have experienced so much together, Li Jinyi has not been able to see the true face of the panda head.

In the blink of an eye, 5 years have passed. During this period, the clothes of the panda head became thicker and thicker, and even in summer, several layers of thick clothes would be put on, and Li Jinyi asked the reason for the panda head, and the panda head did not say, which made Li Jinyi more and more curious.

Towards the age of sixteen, a little more than two years ago, he did something he would regret for the rest of his life.

It was a warm afternoon, after a practice, the panda head nestled in the recliner to sleep, curiosity drove Li Jinyi, bold, sneaked up to the panda head, took off his hood.

Before that, he thought that no matter what kind of face was under the hood, even if he had deep scars, even if he had no nose and no ears, he would still regard the panda head as his best friend, and prepared a bunch of chicken soup for the soul that the panda head should show its true face in order to live happily, and he felt that the panda head thought that he was ugly or flawed and would always wear the hood.

But things were completely unexpected, and as the hood was removed, it was not a flawed person who appeared in front of him.

The long silky hair slid down naturally as the hood was removed, and the moment his fingers touched his hair, Li Jinyi was stunned.

Rejoice, that's how confident! No, no, no.

He was surprised that the panda head turned out to be a girl! It's been five years, and he hasn't even noticed it!

He was at a loss for what to do, so he could only stand still, stunned.

The startled girl quickly covered her face.

"Give it back to me!" the girl began.

It turns out that the panda head does not wear a hood because it is ugly, nor is it a mute.

Li Jinyi trembled and handed over the hood, his mind blank.

This scene was bumped into by Xu Xiao, who happened to come back.

Seeing Xu Xiao, the girl immediately panicked and fled from the courtyard wall.

"Stupid!" came the girl's scolding from outside the wall. She hasn't been seen since.

was kept in the dark for 5 years, Li Jinyi didn't know whether to be happy or sad, it turned out that the reason why the panda head wore a hood, wore thick clothes, and pretended to be dumb, etc., was because he didn't want Li Jinyi to find out that she was a girl.

He later learned that the star coin as a birthday present was some kind of high-class coat of arms of the Star Hunter. That girl is a star intermediary, no wonder she is so afraid that the people of the Star Alliance will recognize her, after all, as a star intermediary, running towards the mansion of Xu Xiao, the head of the Star Royal Alliance, two times in three days, is not a thing worth publicizing, which is similar to the concept of Pepsi employees running to have dinner with Coca-Cola's sales manager all day long or Adi designers going to Nike to chat if they have nothing to do.

Li Jinyi once tried to go to her and apologize to her, but he didn't even see the girl's appearance clearly, and he didn't know what her name was. Searching for it by feeling alone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

......

Time comes back to the present.

Li Jinyi realized at this moment that the familiarity when he saw Yin Yuyao at home today was not an illusion.

"You're crazy, you've been giggling since you started. Yin Yuyao didn't know when she woke up,

"Sorry, just thought of something interesting. Li Jinyi hurriedly replied.

"Wake me up when you get to your destination, you must have forgotten, right?"

Li Jinyi scratched his head in embarrassment, he thought about it a little too deeply just now, so that he left this matter behind, it was indeed his own fault, and he couldn't refute it.

"Look at what time it is!" Yin Yuyao put her watch next to Li Jinyi's face.

"It's my fault that I didn't wake you up, can you blame me for coming late, I don't know who has to waste time for tea. He pressed his fingers on the girl's watch and gently pushed it away.

"I'm so annoyed, I haven't changed my combat uniform yet. She got up and walked towards the rear cabin.

If Li Jinyi had paid attention to it just now, he would have found that there were a few words printed on the inside of the watch in Yin Yuyao's hand, which she had engraved with her own hands, and it read:

"The stars are flowing, and this love is eternal. ”

Recording the first heartbeat of her life.
