"Can you give me a moment to think about it?" Ji Qi looked at the bright light above his head and whispered, his mind was a little messy now, and he didn't know what to do next.

"Yes, I can give you a day," the girl nodded in understanding, "and today can not be counted in the month we agreed upon." She stood up and lowered her head to look at Jiqi for a few seconds, her cold eyes full of complicated feelings. She didn't know what kind of mood she was feeling now, and when she decided to reach out to the figure who was struggling in the deep sea, it seemed that it was just to fulfill her regret when she was in the same situation. At that time, no one gave her a trace of warmth, a hug, not even a look of pity. And when she looked at Jiqi, who was also falling into the deep sea, unable to stretch out her hand to get salvation, she hesitated as the deep sea standing on the opposite side, like a roaring thunderbolt across the thick dark clouds.

Although she told herself countless times in her heart that the other party was an admiral, a damn scumbag, and an existence that was not worth saving. But deep down there was always a little voice whispering in her ear, save him, save him, even if it was ...... Simply because of his bravery in daring to stay alone. yes, he was much better than that scumbag at the time, at least he dared to sacrifice himself in exchange for the right to live for the ship's girls, at least he didn't kneel to himself and beg for mercy like other cowards, at least ...... I had a little thought in my heart, and I didn't want him to die like this. At that time, her heart was complicated, like a brilliant neon, and all kinds of colors were mixed in it.

In the end, Yamato still stretched out his hand to the admiral who had smiled at him before he died, and returned here with his thin body in his arms. In fact, on the way back, she wanted to throw away this burden more than once, but every time she saw his poor face and the blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, she would tell herself that he should not be given up like this, at least she had not given up on his thoughts.

Maybe it was just because of a little obsession, she said gentle comforting words to others for the first time, telling him again and again not to die, not to die. If he dies like this on the way, then there is no point in her working so hard to save him, so she tells him to persevere until the end.

When Yamato returned to the deep sea, when Yamato cleaned Jiqi's wounds and took off his blood-stained admiral uniform, she found that under the wide clothes was such a thin body, so thin that she couldn't believe that there would be such a strong courage and such a powerful burst from inside, and she clumsily wiped his body with a soaked towel while finding a bandage to wrap around him. And none of this seems to be able to stop his slowly passing life, his breath is getting weaker and weaker, like a lamp lit in the wind, which may be snuffed out by the wind at any time. Looking at the other party's face that was still smirking until death, Yamato didn't know what kind of mood it was, and he didn't know what kind of force made her slash her wrist and pour red blood into his plain white lips little by little. She knew that all those who possessed the talent of Admirals had the blood flowing in their bodies contaminated with the breath of the deep sea, and only in this way could they completely pull back a person who stood on the line between life and death.

Even though she felt a slight tingle for the first time, even though she didn't know why she had to give so much to save an enemy. But at that moment, when I watched his pale face gradually reddened under the infusion of his own blood, wisps of emotion quietly surged through his heart that he had never felt before, exactly the same as when he first walked out of the construction machine and saw that person many years ago, although time blurred his memory, but the feeling at that time has not been forgotten to this day.

She timidly stretched out her hand and quietly touched his warm face, looking at his delicate and handsome face in a slight daze, I don't know when Yamato's face climbed up a rare red, like a burning flame, she looked at Jiqi's side face and was stunned, the cold pupils were melted at that moment, and there was something Yamato had never experienced before, like candy in a child's mouth, so sweet that she couldn't help but smile.

Is this what humans call love? Yamato looked at Jiqi and had no answer in his heart. She turned her head sideways and stepped on the clogs to leave, leaving enough time and space for the other party to think about it. This month, he should let himself know what love is, she whispered in her heart, the sun outside the house shining on her plain face, flushing with a little blush.

in the room

Jiqi lay on the sofa and didn't speak, just quietly looked at the glass lights shining above his head. The translucent light entered the pupils, and the strong light made him squint his eyes slightly, and the pupils contracted.

He really doesn't know what the other party thinks now, it's already an incredible move to save himself as an old enemy, and then make Jiqi even more incomprehensible, make you fall in love with me? Is this a new deep-sea game being played? He exhaled weakly into the air, not knowing what to do for the next thirty days. Even if it's just a game played by the other party, he doesn't have the right to say no, the only thing he can do now is to win this so-called game, as she said, make me fall in love with you.

On how to make a deep-sea girl who doesn't understand human emotions fall in love with herself, this is really a difficult MAX paper, Ji Qi said self-deprecating in his heart. However, he definitely looked at the other party's expression, as if he was not joking, but really hoped that he could have the same emotions as humans and fall in love with someone. Otherwise, the other party would not have had to go to such great lengths, not only to save himself from death, but also to wrap his wounds with a strap, although the tie is not so good-looking, but you can also feel the other party's intentions from above. After all, this should be the first time she has made such a big sacrifice for a human being, maybe she is really serious this time, and she is not playing with the love on her lips as a game.

Jiqi grinned, slowly walked towards the closed door, and once again the picture of the girl tying her belt for herself appeared in her mind, like a good memory, deeply imprinted in her mind, like a fairy who fell into the mortal dust, and the happy side of the world appeared.

Deep Sea Girl, in thirty days, I will definitely let you say the words I love you. He clenched his fists, his eyes firmly opened the door, the sun was shining outside, the slender figure that had been dragged out trembled slightly, she turned around like a startled glance, and the grace bloomed in the sun.

"That...... Are you still here? Ji Qi smiled wryly, he originally thought that the other party had left a long time ago, but he didn't expect to wait at the door all the time.

"Well, just basking in the sun." Yamato nodded in reply, his cold eyes not melting in the slightest from the warm sunlight.

He looked at the girl who continued to turn her head to look at the sunset, scratching her head in a daze, not knowing how to continue the conversation. Because in the town guard's mansion, he has the most contact with Lexington and Wales, and as their admiral, even if there is no topic to talk about, even if he just sits there and watches the sunset, he feels very warm. And in the face of such a girl who will only get cold no matter what he says, he doesn't know what to use to melt, he thinks that he is not a scorching flame, nor a warm sunset, just a cool moonlight, just a place where you don't notice, silently giving you care.

Jiqi looked at the girl's beautiful back and laughed silently. "That...... Are you going to eat? Speaking of this, he seemed to remember his strengths that were different from those of the other admirals, and his frustrated eyes became frowning. I can make whatever you want, braised eggplant, white chicken, braised pork, whatever you want to eat, I can make it for you. He danced with joy, his figure dancing in the sun.

"I don't like to eat, have you ever seen the deep sea where you eat?" Yamato didn't look back, and replied softly, his eyes still watching the sun without turning. She hadn't eaten human food since she became the deep, and she had no other interest in food than orange juice.

"That's right...... That's right. Jiqi scratched his head in frustration, his smile so dry at this time. He hadn't heard of the deep sea still needing to eat.

"But there's a kitchen at the end of the hallway, and there seems to be some ingredients in the freezer, so if you're hungry, you can go there and cook your own food." The girl seemed to remember the fact that he was just a human in need of food, and her lips moved in remind.

"Is there a kitchen here?" Jiqi doesn't understand a little, obviously there is no need to eat, why is there a kitchen here? Suddenly, a light flashed in his dim eyes, although the other party had no need for food, but he usually would do something to satisfy his cravings, after all, if he didn't know that she had the identity of the deep sea, he would have thought that she was just a quiet girl who didn't like to talk. Thinking of this, Jiqi is full of hope for the next thirty days, doesn't the book say that if you want to catch a girl, you must grab her stomach, just grab her stomach, and you are afraid that she will not like you? He pulled himself together again, and it seemed that victory was within reach.

"Yes, that's what was left over from the time it was built." Yamato replied. In fact, this huge castle by the sea was built by Carmel for her and Atago, and the designers of the castle did not know that it was a habitat for the deep sea, so they built an unnecessary kitchen and specially filled the freezer with some ingredients, as if they wanted to please their owners with this, but they had no idea that this castle would be occupied by the infamous deep sea after spending their countless efforts, and it would also become their place of residence at sea.

"Is that so?" Jiqi said, his cracked mouth revealing a "I know it's all your excuse, I know." He happily hummed a little song in the aisle and walked towards the kitchen as the girl had spoken.

As everyone knows, Yamato, who was standing behind her and looking at her, was neither sad nor happy, and his expression did not fluctuate in the slightest.
