1 [Lin Benxu's perspective]

The integration plan between Gangwan City and Qianshan City was launched.

On the TV, the sentence was displayed in oversized font.

Today is December 29th.

The bill that has just been passed decided to merge Minatowan City and Sensugi City into a metropolitan area.

How far is Minato City and Chisugi City......

Perhaps seeing my doubts, Liu Xin looked at me with a blank expression.

"Qianshan City is 112 kilometers away."

Liu Xin said expressionlessly.

"Ah, 112 kilometers."

Looking back, it took me a total of 18 minutes and 35 seconds to fly from here to Sensugi City during yesterday's 'scuffle'.

Well, that's pretty fast.

"More than 100 kilometers, which can be regarded as 'far', is it really feasible to connect these two cities together?"

"Since they have all proposed, there must be something for them to consider. Let's not think about it. ”

Liu Xin said uninterestedly.

Wouldn't it be more convenient for us to go to Sensugi City from now on to establish a metropolitan area? Or that Harbor City will also develop by leaps and bounds, so it is quite worth looking forward to.

I nodded and imagined what the future would look like and smiled for a moment.

It's Thursday, morning. Liu Xin and I sat at the dining table, and the TV was right in front of us, so we could catch a glimpse of the TV while eating.

Today's breakfast: grilled toast, eggs, cheese, milk. It can be seen that it is biased towards the Western style. Compared with Chinese breakfast, Western style is more convenient to make. For me, it's also quite happy. Because—

Western-style breakfast, not so much 'sweet food'. For Liu Xin, who is as sweet as his life, he may feel very uncomfortable.

I looked at Liu Xin, and she didn't actually take out the 'Liu Xin's Special Sweetness MAX Jam', but bit into the toast normally.

Could it be that Liu Xin has also changed.

I thought so and picked up my toast and bit down.

No, it looks like I'm overthinking.

“…… Why – so sweet??!! ”

I screamed unconsciously, which, of course, was rude.

"Is it sweet? In order to make a Western-style breakfast, I also put a little less sugar. ”

Liu Xin tilted his head and said expressionlessly.

"Is there a difference??"

It's exactly the same sweetness as usual.

"Yes, usually the sweetness is 100%, but today it is 96%."

I don't know at all! She can feel the 4%.

I don't want to complain about anything, after all, people are willing to make me breakfast so that I can sleep a little more, and I am very satisfied.

Looking at Liu Xin, who has a happy face in the face of sweets, I also feel very happy. After all, only at this time can you see her 'smiling face', and other than that, Liu Xin always has a straight face.

Xu Liuxin when he was a child was not like this. It's a pretty lively, quite cheerful, and even a little stubborn girl.

I don't know when she gradually 'lost her feelings', maybe it's more inappropriate to use the expression 'loss', but I feel that it is true. Isn't it a kind of loss that the things you originally owned are gradually disappearing?

Perhaps, she is not the only one who has 'lost' her feelings.

After the meal, on the way to school, we still walked side by side as usual – but without saying a word.

I observe Liu Xin, petite body, black hair reflecting a beautiful blue-green light in the light of the morning sun, small red lips like a god carving, and like a famous embellishment on a delicate face. The pain of orange red, the beautiful eyebrows, despite the tightness of her cheeks, could not hide her radiance.

"That, Xiaoyanagi."

I call her sensually, and I have to put it close to her.

“？”

She tilted her head and looked at me, as if a question mark had popped up on her head.

"May I ask you ......?"

No, it's weird to talk like that.

"I think you're cute."

I said with a smirk.

"Really? Thank you. ”

She blinked quickly and bowed in thanks. The etiquette was very formal, which made me feel embarrassed.

"However, I think you used to be even more cute."

I continued.

"Before?"

"Well, when we were young, we were childhood sweethearts, right?"

This question is very strange.,Originally, we were childhood sweethearts.,Why use interrogative sentences.。

"What's wrong?"

Liu Xin's upper eyelids drooped slightly, and he didn't seem to be very interested.

"I remember when I was a child, I was often scolded by you."

I said with a smile.

"I'm often beaten by you."

I added.

"Is there such a thing?"

She turned her head and said weakly.

"At that time, you were also very cute."

"Thank you."

"And, I like it very much."

It is a very unwise choice to lead to the level of 'me', for Liu Xin: what kind of 'me' you like has nothing to do with me. I'm just her childhood sweetheart.,At best, it's a childhood sweetheart.。 At worst, I'm just a passer-by at her house.

"Thank you."

She still thanked mechanically.

"Why, you are different now than before?"

I asked anyway.

I saw Liu Xin's eyebrows rise slightly, and his mood fluctuated slightly.

"Perhaps, grow up."

She replied coldly, that indifference was clearly trying to cut off the topic.

“……”

Looking at her appearance, I can't continue to ask.

She kept her head down and walked forward in silence.

When I came to the school, Gangwan City No. 2 Middle School, as soon as I entered the door, I saw a familiar figure. Two bundles of whips on his chest, beautiful eyes, thin but by no means thin body.

"Wind chimes—"

I greeted her.

Actually, I was hesitant to say hello to her.

Because between me and her, it is still full of embarrassment.

"Ah, Xiao Xu."

Su Fengling's attitude towards me has also changed, not as 'positive' as before, and there is a lot less physical contact.

"So, can I be your girlfriend?"

She said hesitantly.

This is a conversation that took place at my house on December 24th, and the protagonists of the conversation were naturally Wind Chimes and me.

When I heard this sentence clearly and saw the determined eyes of the wind chimes, I realized the seriousness of the matter.

Subsequently – my reply was:

"Let me think about it."

That's right, this is the worst and worst reply.

But I do need time, either way.

Because I've never thought about these questions --

An air of embarrassment came to my face.

"Xiao Xu, are you still doing it tonight?"

Wind Chime said shyly.

I pondered the meaning of her words for a moment.

Today is Thursday, December 29th.

See, under normal circumstances, on Thursday nights, I would go to the house of the wind chimes and practice taekwondo.

Wind Chime is a black belt in Taekwondo, and although her stature does not look like a 'mighty' person, her martial arts are actually quite powerful - powerful.

Not only taekwondo, but also wind chimes are also highly accomplished in martial arts such as sanda.

It can be said that at the level of [ordinary fighting], I am far inferior to the wind chimes.

Of course, I also know that my body is very special, my whole body is made of steel, and when my skin is irreversibly damaged, it will reveal my steel body. Such a trait may just be a gift from the gods, there is nothing to show off, and since the [Zhang Minggang] incident was resolved, I have also lost the meaning of fighting. It may be a great blessing to spend this life in an ordinary way.

Regarding Su Hongyuan and the 'Nian Qi Shen', I was only entrusted by the Hong Kong Association (mainly referring to Sister Ye Xin). But it doesn't mean that I am determined to join the Hong Kong Club, but rather, if I join the HK Club, I have no chance of ordinary life.

I sighed, because I also knew that from the moment I got this Iron Body, bad things didn't stop. Maybe this is a joke of the gods.

But anyway, I want to be like 'taking a break from the busy'. The pursuit of 'peace' in 'bad' may be precisely because of the existence of 'bad' that we can feel the beauty of 'calm'.

"Today...... Forget it, I was so tired yesterday. ”

I excused myself and said, 'I was too tired yesterday' to refer to yesterday's battle with the 'Nian Qi God'. But when I thought about it, the wind chimes didn't seem to know about it.

"You ...... Have you already made it this far? ”

I didn't even notice that Xi Ning, a classmate of the wind chimes, was right behind me, leaning against Liu Xin's side.

She now wears glasses and looks rather quiet. But the big smart eyes betrayed her.

She's a rotten girl.

"Huh? Why are you here. ”

I said.

"What's the matter, I'm a student, can't I go to school?"

Xi Ning said to me dissatisfied.

Although her height is quite regrettable, her chest is quite remarkable, and her body is quite charming.

"Was you so tired last night? How many times? ”

"What are you talking about?"

I replied disapprovingly. This guy is obviously a rotten girl, why are you interested in me and the wind chimes?

Wait a minute! Could it be that this means that the wind chimes are boys?

What a brilliant reasoning.

I admire myself.

It's weird that way.

I smiled wryly and shook my head.

Liu Xin still looked like he didn't care, tilted his gaze to me slightly, and found that after looking at me, he moved back to the ground.

Liu Xin's appearance is a little strange.
