Just as the human heart is unpredictable, the weather in the new world changes in an instant, and it is gradually brighter than before.

Under the blue sky, the clear sunlight shines on the boundless sea of clouds, the snow-white clouds seem to have no boundary, continuous waves into the sea, surging until the end of the sky, the golden sunlight, like the blessing of the gods all over the sea of clouds, compared with this magnificent picture, the eagles and birds that occasionally skim the sky are as small as duckweed in the sea.

Everything was so laid-back and peaceful.

Ace opened his eyes, woke up slowly, felt the soreness in his arm, he lowered his head, sighed silently, the woman curled up in his arms, closed eyes, eyelashes trembled slightly, more like a sleeping beauty immersed in a sweet sleep in a fairy tale, the warm light slanted on her jade face, like light smoke and mist, hazy, beautiful like a trance dream.

Looking at Lilith's moist red and slightly upturned cherry lips, Ace's heart beat faster, his blood was rushing, and he almost couldn't control himself, he took a deep breath, restrained his mind, and seemed to notice his movements, and the wonderful eyes of the beautiful woman in his arms opened a gap slightly, "I woke up so soon, people are sleeping soundly, can't they lie down for a while?" ”

To his surprise, Ace subconsciously stretched out his hand, slowly leaned over, and grabbed the other party's fragrant shoulder, so that she could better lie in his arms.

"What did you do?"

"It's nothing, it's just a little psychological cue to make you have a good dream." Tossing and turning slightly, she brushed the slightly messy hair around her ears with her plain white jade hand, and opened her eyes wide with a smile, "What, do you feel it?" ”

"Huh? ······ to feel something." Looking at the other party's subtle expression, Ace blushed, and was shocked by the timidity in his tone, and hurriedly defended, "That kind of thing, how can there be!" I've already made an appointment with Yuna to go back to my hometown in Nanhai to get married after the war, so it's impossible for me to be tempted by a woman other than her! So there's no way I'm going to feel for you! ”

"You wanted to kiss me just now, did you think so?" Lilith smiled smartly, but her eyes flashed with a dark and strange light.

"Trying to use marriage as an excuse to tie up the budding heartbeat, are you doing this to deceive me, or to deceive yourself? Oh, new to love! ”

Eston was speechless, looking at the other party in a daze, not knowing what to do, so he had to dodge the other party's burning gaze, and his heart was even more uneasy.

"You taught me before to face your true self, and now, it's my turn to let you face your true feelings in your heart."

When Ace raised his head again when he heard this, Lilith unexpectedly came over and kissed him gently, his eyes met in an instant, and his watery eyes were full of longing, Lilith opened her hands enthusiastically, and the two jade arms hooked around Ace's neck, Joan snorted, her eyebrows and eyes flowed, and she whispered softly in his ear, and all the situations were as beautiful as in a dream.

The catharsis of emotions and the contact of the body made the body temperature of the two rise rapidly, and it was hot to the hands, Lilith was dressed in crystal clear snow skin, and it was even more flashing with an ivory-like halo, and the soft lines of the snow-white collarbones were faintly glowing with delicate pink in the whiteness.

For a long time, the lips parted.

The wet kiss just now brought Ace an indescribable sense of comfort, his mind was blank, groggy and at the same time, he seemed to be far away from the red dust, flying to heaven, galloping freely in the dreamy void, and looking at Lilith's slightly teasing smile after waking up, it was even more shy and embarrassing.

"Your kissing skills are as jerky as ever······" As if savoring the wonderful feeling, Lilith licked her lips and a look of unfinished thought appeared on her countenance.

"We're like lovers."

"You're just a companion with special emotions, a lover or something, it's not like that!" Feeling the heat of the other party's skin, Ace's face flashed a few unusual hints of crimson, as if resigned to his fate, shamefully implementing a policy of compromise and non-resistance.

"Maybe it's because of this that the relationship between us is not ordinary." Still resting on Ace's lap, Lilith combed his loose hair and said softly, "Even if you don't admit it, I can feel it, you've been in love with me for a long time, but you didn't even notice it." ”

"Love?"

In an instant, Ace's thoughts were confused, his heart was frightened, confused, scared, and incredulous, and there was an indescribable complex feeling intertwined with his different emotions.

"No, you're just an indispensable and important companion, not my lover, what I really love, what I really love is ······"

Just as the gloom on Ace's face became more and more intense, and he wanted to say that the person he really loved to prove his innocence and dispel the words that upset him, familiar faces flashed through his mind, including Bonnie's, Yuna's, Lilith's, and even the Empress's······ How so? The first thing he thought of was Yuna, who got along day and night! That's right, the girl who has walked with her for two years, crying and laughing together, is right, but why after thinking of Yuna, the figures of other people continue to come to my heart, and I can't disperse for a long time.

He was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that until now, he still didn't know which person was the most important person in his mind.

"Have you forgotten? You and that woman came together because of me. Lilith stared at Ace with unblinking eyes, but the other party did not dare to look at her.

"Do you really love her? If it weren't for the fact that I drove you to a dead end, that woman would have had the opportunity to confide in you, and you would have come together! If I hadn't shown up, would you have confessed to her? No way! So, can you tell me calmly that it's love? ”

"Yes, that's not love, that's just a habit, everything between you and her becomes a habit, even if one day someone suddenly throws a declaration of love to the other party, the other party will just accept it gladly, they don't think it's anything strange, everything is just natural, but this is a habit! It's not the same as love at all! ”

"But what about me?"

Lilith said word by word, her soft face and gently fluttering eyelashes formed a touching beauty, and under the eager gaze, it actually made Ace have a feeling of inauthenticity.

"You will come to the island alone for me, even if you risk your own life, you will save me from the hands of two evil dragons, you will also fall out with your own righteous brother for me, you will almost break your team to pieces for me, until now, you are still for me, leaving behind the victory that is about to come, giving everything to Whitebeard, and running to me alone, isn't it? In your heart, I am the most important, more important than Whitebeard, more important than Ralph Drew, more important than Onepiece, even you can't say why, of course, because you fell in love with me early on! ”

Lilith's words, like invisible fluctuations, set off unspeakable waves in Ace's heart, and a trace of confusion and pain flashed in her eyes, like a clay sculpture, standing on the ground, unable to move, wanting to say something, but suddenly her throat was blocked by something, and she couldn't say anything.

Is his love for Yuna really just a habit? As Lilith said, everything between him and Yuna seems to be so "taken for granted"? Because you are used to having a gentle and virtuous woman by your side, you are used to her warmth, and you are used to her body temperature,—— this is love?

Lilith stared at Ace in a trance, his melancholy, his worries, she saw them all in her eyes, a sad smile mixed with joy and sorrow, Sakura's lips trembled, "You told me, a person can't live alone no matter what, then, as long as you love me now, as long as you are by my side, I will never be lonely." ”

Gently brushed Ace's cheeks with his fingers, and then delicately helped him fix the ends of his hair that were blown by the wind and sand, when each other's eyes collided in the air, the sweet and touching voice gently floated past Ace's roots, "If we have a distance of a thousand steps, don't worry about anything, you only need to take the first step, and the remaining nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, let me come." ”

Ace was shocked, raised his head, but saw that the Yiren in front of him was smiling like a flower, shining brightly, and the teardrop in the corner of his eye was hanging, and it was not falling, like a dew drop, pure and beautiful.

"Anyway, if you love it, you won't get pregnant."
