Chapter XXXVIII
"Mr. Ace······"
Almost at the same time as Ace returned, Princess Shirahoshi had already arrived on her pet Megalo, followed by the third prince of the Sea King, perhaps seeing that Ace was about to leave by boat, Shirahoshi immediately shouted loudly. Collection ~ Vertex Reading Network
.
"Uh, hi, good evening." Ace really didn't know what to say at this time, it was his idea not to say goodbye, and Neptune adhered to the principle of dividing the line with himself, and he didn't care, and Princess Shirahoshi was able to know all this, probably because of her three brothers.
"Mr. Ace······" When Bai Xing saw Ace come to her, the coldness in front of the hard-shell tower, the worries, sorrows and joy and excitement of the reunion in the past few days were mixed together, so that she resolutely grabbed Ace's hands, and tears couldn't stop flowing.
"Wait······ Isn't that all right for me? Seeing that the other party was crying into tears, Ace immediately panicked, not to mention Princess Shirahoshi's pretty face that had been haggard and haggard due to worry for several days, just a serious incident like making a girl cry had made Ace feel that his deliberate alienation was a bit excessive.
The mermaid princess of this world is actually just a little girl who can't help but be held in her arms and cared for carefully, with small cherry blossom-colored lips, crystal clear blue eyes, and a small and delicate nose that constitute a delicate and cute little face, although it has a body size comparable to that of a giant clan······ Ace tried to memorize all the characteristics of the other party, because he was gone, and it would probably be two years before he could meet again.
"I'm leaving, going to the New World." For the rest of the words, Ace didn't want to say any more, Princess Shirahoshi was a very good girl, there was no doubt about that, but Ace didn't love her, never did.
"Please wait, I have something to say to Mr. Ace!" Looking at Ace, who had made up his mind, the tears in Bai Xing's eyes once again couldn't be controlled.
"Please······ Please ······" Princess Shirahoshi seemed to muster up all her strength, closed her eyes tightly and said loudly, "Please stay and protect Fish-Man Island with me!" ”
"Please stay and protect Fish-Man Island with me!"
Bai Xing wanted to say this sentence from the beginning, she wanted to tell Ace, she really wanted to, but she was afraid that all she would get was a simple "oh" word, and she really couldn't accept that kind of answer. After thinking about it for several days, what kind of position Ace has in Bai Xingxin, she still hasn't figured it out, and even her father has repeatedly reminded herself not to have too much contact with each other, or is it true that the two are in completely different worlds?
The grievances, bitterness, and bitterness that have been accumulating in my heart over the years······ In an instant, all of them surged into her heart, accompanied by this indescribable and inexplicable strange feeling, which made her almost breathless. But when his brother told him that the other party was about to leave, Bai Xing's heart suddenly flooded with a strange and subtle feeling, spreading like ripples, this feeling seemed to have never been, but it seemed to be familiar.
"Shirahoshi, you have to remember that if a person's ideals and concepts are completely different from yours, but you can't stop thinking about him, then you are truly in love with him." Her mother's gentle words from years ago seemed to be still lingering in her ears, and she suddenly realized that she might really fall in love with this strange and familiar teenager in front of her, even if they had only known each other for a month!
"Really, please stay, I like Mr. Ace very much, I like it very much, I really hope that Mr. Ace can stay and protect Fish-Man Island with me, although this may be just a journey stop for Mr. Ace, but I will definitely let Mr. Ace be happy, and after that, I will also be happy!"
"So······ Please stay, I will love you very much, and please love me well. ”
Maybe it's Shirahoshi's boldness that makes Ace overwhelmed, and can make an originally shy girl say such a bold thing, which shows how much courage the other party has to confess to herself! Is it really good to reject such a girl? The mermaid princess with a prominent status fell in love with herself, a pirate who had nothing, should she say that she was lucky, or was it Shirahoshi's misfortune?
In Shirahoshi's hopeful teary eyes, Ace gently closed his eyes, put his right hand to his ear, and said slowly in a soft voice, "Did you hear that, Shirahoshi?" ”
"Hear me······ What the? ”
"The Pirate Banner is calling me!"
······
When I was a child, I cried and cried, and I laughed; When I grew up, I laughed and laughed, and I cried.
Bai Xing looked at the Golden Noah that had gone away with teary eyes, but a smile gradually appeared on the corner of her mouth, maybe she was really naïve, naïve enough to like someone for a second, but she would spend her whole life forgetting this person.
"Although the wounds in my heart are so deep now, although this painful memory will only bring me pain and sorrow, I would rather keep this memory forever and let it grow with me. Although I also wanted to forget it, I believe that if I don't run away from it and keep bringing it to the end of my life, one day, I will overcome those past events and make myself stronger! ”
"In this world, there must be things that you can't forget no matter what, so I want to open my mind and try to accept and believe. I will always be here waiting for you to set foot on this island again. ”
"What would happen to you if I wasn't there?"
"I'll go find you."
"What if you can't find it?"
"I'm going to keep looking for it, always, all the time, for a year, two years, three years······ Ten years, one hundred years, one thousand years······ Even if it takes eternal time to wait, I want to see you again! ”
