Shuttling in the blue waves, he hoped in his heart that he could catch up with a body.

The vague and clear back was always like this, but he was still here, and the aches and burns of his whole body soon made him float feebly in a white foam, and the sound of rattling was lapping in his ears, when he thought so in the depths of his devastated heart,

He sank to the bottom of the sea.

Turtles, seaweeds, red corals, dazzling pearls, schools of fish passed through his fingers, slippery against his face and into the collar of his sweatshirt, laughing and dancing on his skin, not itching but scratching and flapping of cells. The mottled light and shadow filtered by the waves cast on his forehead and cheeks, Wen Cheng swiped his arms and continued to dive, and soon saw the thick dust on the bottom of the sea, scattered bones and broken pottery, and here the feeling of oppression transmitted by the whole body was removed, and the interweaving of light and shadow became more and more profound.

He closed his eyes and quickly fell into a stumbling illusion of light and shadow.

The eyes of a dead man stared at the alternation of black and white in the retina, and slowly transformed into a figure, that person had no sorrow or joy, would not reveal a word, and left only a smile at the door.

The family should always be together, blowing the air conditioner, scooping up the same hemispherical watermelon with two spoons, fighting over the TV remote or the toilet, yelling at each other or not saying a word when they get annoyed. And as the most trivial means of maintenance, the woman serves the meal, and the two men pick up the chopsticks, and there is no sentence to find a topic that is not interesting.

Of course, he is not familiar with and does not need these, and the collective unconscious has long been slowly dissolved by him into an independent mind - for the sake of his beloved, not the original family maintained by blood.

Wen Cheng used his last strength to push away the sand and gravel on the bottom of the sea, stroked a shiny glass jar with his hand, and after soaking his last breath, a beam of light sprinkled above his head.

The bubble contains a name that is neither hateful nor like.

◇

It is not talent that achieves miracles, but obsession.

Wen Cheng took a deep breath, slowly opened his eyes, and instinctively raised his arm to draw an arc in the dry air.

There was only one thing he had to do.

When I opened my eyes, I saw the dim ceiling and the faint LED ceiling light, and in the blurred vision was the smiling face of a woman, and her slender hand was caressing Wen Cheng's forehead.

Who is she?

Su Meng? Yoo Zhen? Xiaozhu?

Neither.

"Teacher...... Father......" Moon Seung muttered to the blonde beauty, his eyes still cloudy, but he smirked.

"Oh, I'm awake." The languid voice sounded like an angel's harp.

For some reason, I always feel so relieved.

"Brother!" Xiaozhu was sitting on the edge of the bed on the right hand side, and immediately pounced after finding that Wen Cheng woke up, hugged Wen Cheng's neck for a long time before putting it down, and after being stared at by Catherine, he walked to the corner with interest, and came to Su Meng's side and looked back at his brother.

And Su Meng sat at the desk in the corner and skillfully tapped on the laptop, she just resisted the urge to pounce and turned to a warm smile looking back.

What is she banging? Why is it so important, you don't even want to come and see me......

Wen Cheng slowly woke up and sat up, finding that all the pain had dissipated, leaving only the burning residue in his chest. Inside the quilt was a bare chest, the abdomen was immaculate, and the blood-stained T-shirt was gone, and I don't know who took it off...... Don't worry about it for now.

Strange, what about Yoo Jin? It turned out that the tired red girl was sleeping soundly on her side in another bed, her long hair scattered on the pillow.

"Hmm...... What time is it?" Wen Cheng rubbed his eyes.

"Ten o'clock." Su Meng said without looking back, and continued to type on the keyboard.

"It's ten o'clock!" Wen Cheng was shocked and jumped out of bed, and found that only a pair of underwear was left, so Xiaozhu turned his back in a playful manner, Catherine looked at his weak body with a smile without shying away, and Su Meng didn't look back, and replied in a gentle voice, "Ten o'clock in the morning, Wen Cheng, let's rest again."

Whew, it's not ten o'clock in the night! It turned out that I had only slept for two hours...... But for some reason, I am still not satisfied with this result.

Fourteen hours remaining.

"No rest, wait for me for a while."

Wen Cheng got up and went to the bathroom, peeled off the packaging of the disposable toothbrush and brushed his teeth, and after a quick rinse, he found that a school uniform sleeve stretched out from the door of the bathroom, he took the clean gray T-shirt and newly bought underwear handed by the warm little hand and changed it on, and then came to the room and put on a gray tracksuit with a lot of blood stains.

There were so many things to do, Wen Cheng found a chair to sit down, grabbed his wet hair and combed his thoughts.

"By the way, Master, when did you come?"

Catherine, who was still sitting on the edge of the bed, just gave him a blank look, and yawned with her hands in her hands.

"Sister Catherine, when did you come?" Wen Cheng asked again.

Catherine held up two fingers.

"Two points? Or two hours?" It's a pretty bad number, isn't it......

To be precise, Catherine did not answer Wen Cheng's question.

"First." Catherine got up and paced, and then pointed to the sleeping girl in red.

It turned out that Liu Zhen called her...... Wen Cheng nodded.

"Second, apprentice, what day of the week is today?" Catherine pointed to Xiaozhu's neck.

Sunday, what's wrong...... Oops! Wen Cheng patted his head.

"But Liu Zhen said on the phone that Xiaozhu is here, in fact, it doesn't hurt to do a simple week with Xiaozhu here, so it's rare for me to get up early, sister, ah......

Isn't it possible to worship without a church? There is still such an operation?!

Of course, Wen Cheng will not understand that both of these reasons are false.

Then, Wen Cheng suddenly walked up to Catherine very hard and bowed, "Although it is too abrupt to do this, but Sister Catherine, please join us no matter what!"

"Join you?!" Catherine stopped and blinked, the white skirt hung down steadily, revealing her smooth ankles, and the Western woman who took off her high heels regained her height about the same height as Yoo Jin, so she began to look up at Wen Cheng.

"Yes, join us...... Not...... Guardian ......" Wen Cheng shook his head vigorously, "I don't care about the name for now, it's just a few people in the room."

Su Meng, who was typing on the keyboard, heard this, and unconsciously shrugged his shoulders with his back to the crowd, and this action was captured by Catherine and showed a meaningful smile.

"Joining Yoo Jin's team, can I understand it like that?" Catherine asked.

"Yes! That's right! That's it!" Wen Cheng nodded three times in a row.

"Nope." Catherine glanced at Wen Cheng coldly and turned her back.

"Refusal? Why? I don't understand...... Didn't Liu really help you?"

"It's because of my sister's relationship with Yoo Shin that I have to refuse." Catherine walked to the cabinet under the TV and twisted the white porcelain teacup, took two sips of the black tea brewed in the tea bag, and then turned back to face Wen Cheng calmly.

"Listen up," Catherine sat back in her chair and held up a finger, "I represent the Templar Empire in this city, after all, and if I join the Guardian's unauthorised team, there will undoubtedly be a diplomatic strife."

"But ......"

"Second," Catherine held up a second finger, "Liu Zhen has a contract for helping me, and in addition to this contract, I have returned all other little favors, such as teaching you and sheltering Xiaozhu."

It seems that he inadvertently tricked Liu Zhen again...... Wen Cheng turned back to the sleeping girl and smiled wryly.

"What kind of contract is it? Can you talk about it?"

"No, I can't say it without Liu Zhen's authorization." Catherine shook her head solemnly.

"Third, well......" Catherine held up a third finger and looked up at the ceiling for a moment.

What the hell is it...... Wen Cheng couldn't help but droop his shoulders but was embarrassed to interrupt his master.

"Third," Catherine folded her legs and said again, "I guess you won't be able to pay your salary, or give you weekends, or afternoon tea, hmm...... I guess there's no more nap, so no, no, no, how can this kind of thing be done......

"Sister Catherine, no matter what...... Please help the apprentice!" Wen Cheng walked up to Catherine and bowed vigorously.

Since Catherine said that there are so many difficulties, then there is probably no other way, in front of Catherine, who is good at all kinds of strange operations and blind breaking, playing routines will definitely fail, so ...... All that left was the dead skin begging with a dead face......

Catherine didn't answer, just looked at the groveling Wen Cheng with a hint of a smile.

I guess there's no hope...... Wen Cheng sighed at the floor.

"Okay." Catherine replied.

Yes?!

"But ......" Catherine hooked her white right foot to the hem of Wen Cheng's blouse, hooked the stumbling Wen Cheng in front of her, and then pinched Wen Cheng's chin with a slight smile.

"But...... What ......" Moon Seung was uncomfortably stared at by his blonde sister, and he avoided her gaze hesitantly.

"There's one condition, though."

"Money?" I definitely don't agree with this.

"Of course not." Catherine smiled evilly, and glanced meaningfully at Su Meng in the corner on her right.

"That's ...... What ......?"

"I want you to break up with Su Meng." Catherine leaned back in her chair, grimacing.

A condition that makes people feel mixed, Wen Cheng frowned.

Although the fact is that they have broken up, it is not desirable to take advantage of Catherine's misunderstanding, and the undying love is at least sincere.

"No, I'm sorry, I can't." Wen Cheng replied, took two steps back, stood up straight, and quietly glanced at Su Meng.

Su Meng turned his face away to hide his expression, but the hands hanging on the keyboard trembled.

Since Master has always been so difficult, there is no way to do it.

"Well......" Catherine sighed, "that's going to be difficult." Then he slowly paced to the door, "So......

"Wait a minute!" Su Meng suddenly stood up, "Catherine, Wen Cheng and I have broken up a long time ago."

Faced with the fact that Su Meng had betrayed himself, Wen Cheng sighed and closed his eyes of remorse...... Are you really pushing me to someone else like that?

"Oh? Really?" Catherine turned her head and covered her mouth and smiled.

"In that case," Su Meng pushed his glasses, "even if you agreed, wouldn't you?"

"Of course not," Catherine said as she paced over to Wen Cheng and put her on his shoulder, leaning into his ear, "and then I need to make a marriage contract with me."

"Master, don't, don't be like this......" Wen Chengzhan took two steps back tremblingly, and plucked up his courage to say, "I have someone I like, I won't promise you!" Besides, she won't agree to it!"

The first-class blonde beauty did not show a humiliated expression, but looked at Su Meng calmly,

"So, what if the person you like agrees?"

"How is that possible?" Wen Cheng smiled confidently at Su Meng.

"I agree." Su Meng pushed his glasses.
