2054 AD, Geeta Peninsula

The Geeta Peninsula at the beginning of August is different from the crispness of Boling, where the only sensation is heat. In the early 21st century, nearly 400 large and small parks have been built on the Geeta Peninsula, which covers an area of only a few hundred square kilometers, and the green coverage rate here has reached 80%. So Carter still feels most familiar here, because it makes people feel as relaxed as if they were in nature.

As the sun was rising, Carter was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, black trousers, and shiny brown leather shoes, while he was walking down the jungle trail in Link Park while eating, and he was already sweating in a short time.

In the middle of Link Park is a nature reserve, a park converted from virgin forest, where Carter can easily hide from the sun's rays, but the heat forces him to find a stone chair in the shade of a tree. He came early in the morning to observe several relatively hidden jungles in Link Park, ruling out the possibility that he or Qin Sijie would be noticed, because Carter planned to let Yamamoto Matsuda show up, confront Qin Sijie face to face, clarify the contradictions, and give Yamamoto justice.

In Carter's eyes, Qin Sijie is quite a good person, she doesn't have so much scheming, and she can't see any ambitions, Carter chooses to believe her.

"Squeak Squeak...... On the lawn not far to Carter's left, there are a few small squirrels foraging for food.

Carter saw that the elves were so cute, and even though he knew that feeding the animals was forbidden here, Carter thought that just a few small crumbs should be fine, so he tore off a small piece and threw it to the little squirrel.

The little ones were startled by Carter's smashing of bread and flinched. After a while, one of the slightly larger squirrels leaned over carefully, sniffed with its nose, and then expertly lifted the small piece of bread to its mouth with its front paws, and began to chew and swallow greedily.

Seeing this, the other companions naturally did not want to suffer, and rushed over to try to snatch it from its mouth, so the little squirrel began to hide everywhere, and the other three little squirrels followed and waited for the opportunity to snatch it. Looking at these cute little ones, Carter forgot his troubles for a while, and his bearded face was filled with a serene smile.

......Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps in high-heeled shoes not far away, and Carter didn't care about the passers-by because people were passing by from time to time.

"Carter?!" Suddenly, someone nearby shouted, Carter looked up and found that the person in high heels turned out to be Qin Sijie, this girl with a beautiful face looked at Carter with a look of surprise and couldn't help laughing.

Qin Sijie broke the calm and dignified image of the past in one fell swoop today, she changed her ear-length curly hair today, and the ends of her hair were dyed purple and black. The sexy lips were painted a thin layer of vermilion, and he was wearing a blue-and-white vertical striped high-necked, low-cut, short-sleeved shirt and a short black skirt.

Qin Sijie also replaced her usual black wide-rimmed eyes, and deliberately put on a pair of thin-framed gold-rimmed glasses today, the whole person looked like Carter's eyes lit up, this usually steady female boss didn't expect to be so stunning in dressing up, looking enchanting but not pretentious at all.

"Qin ...... Chief ......" Carter looked at Qin Sijie silently, completely attracted by her beauty at this time, and forgot about the little squirrel next to him for a while.

Qin Sijie felt a little embarrassed to be stared at by Carter so much, but she was ecstatic in her heart, and she was able to successfully attract Carter's attention, which proved that the elaborate dressing she spent more than an hour early in the morning was not in vain.

"Just call me Sijie, Carter, how long have you been here?" Qin Sijie couldn't hide the joy in her heart after all, the shyness on her face quickly faded, and she generously came to sit next to Carter, the charming smile on her mouth at this moment was so sincere and happy.

Carter felt a little lost, he felt that he had never paid attention to this female boss, and today she was so enthusiastic, he was not sure for a moment who the wall in his heart was holding onto, for Riley? Or for yourself?

"I've just arrived ......" Carter smiled and put down the milk and burger in his hand, shook his knees a little unnaturally, looked up at Qin Sijie and said, "I think your original black-framed eyes are very good-looking, but these golden-edged eyes are really good!" ”

Qin Sijie stared at Carter tightly, listened to Carter's words very carefully, and then smiled happily and said, "Really? I just went to match it last night, and I love it too! By the way, when did you return to the Geeta Peninsula yesterday? I've been worried about whether you're hurt. ”

Carter looked at Qin Sijie in a daze, and did not answer her words, at this time he was a little conflicted in his heart, the purpose of his meeting with Qin Sijie this time was to find out the truth, whether Riley's death was related to UNSA, and to help Yamamoto Matsuda correct his name, clarify UNSA's misunderstanding of him, and fight for all the rights and freedoms that originally belonged to him.

Riley's departure is certainly the most painful wound in Carter's heart, this tough guy has frozen his heart for two whole years, more than 700 days of mental torture, Carter knows that he is fighting against himself, as if this way he can make himself feel better, because he was not able to protect his dearest people in the first place.

Faced with his daily exhaustion of inner redemption, when Carter looked at Qin Sijie's shining eyes at this time, the wall in his heart that tightly surrounded himself almost collapsed. This girl's eyes are just like Riley's eyes at the beginning, which is clearly a kind of yearning and admiration. Of course, Carter can't forget that it was like a life-saving straw, allowing Carter's strong heart to see a glimmer of hope after two years of purgatory.

Carter was so excited that he almost wanted to take the girl's hands and touch her cheek again, and suddenly he felt a light pass quickly in front of him, Carter blinked and finally came to his senses, the other party was his boss Qin Sijie, not Riley.

Carter was stunned, and he ruthlessly allowed his heart to fall from the top of the wall and into the trough.

"Dada...... "Carter seemed to have fallen into the bottom of a cold ice cave, and all he could hear was his own heartbeat.

Carter became more and more afraid, he was afraid to know the truth, and he was afraid that the girl in front of him, who looked like Riley instead of Riley, was one of the accomplices in Riley's murder.

"No!" Carter cried out in despair, "She won't!" Carter's inner panic gradually manifested itself on his face.

"Carter......" Qin Sijie held Carter's shoulder and shook it a little panicked, her face full of worry and concern.

Carter finally came back to his senses after being shaken by Qin Sijie like this, seeing that Qin Sijie was worried about Carter's heart was hot, he impulsively grabbed Qin Sijie's hand on his shoulder and said, "You...... Today...... It's so beautiful, I remember you once helped a child out of depression, you ...... It's a ...... Kind girl. ”

Carter's eyes never left Qin Sijie's face, and suddenly noticed that her eyelashes jumped, and the always capable Chief Qin showed a trace of unnaturalness and timidity on his face, she tried to break free of Carter's big hand, but Carter was obviously a little impulsive, he couldn't wait to see through Qin Sijie's heart, and saw through that she had nothing to do with Riley's departure, so that he held Qin Sijie's hand firmly without knowing it.

"Carter! You let go of ...... first" Qin Sijie faced Carter, who had always been cold, suddenly became so enthusiastic and abnormal, and she felt joy in her heart at the same time accompanied by fear and uneasiness.

Qin Sijie is happy that Carter, whom she has always admired, is praising herself, afraid that her sweetheart's impulsiveness and enthusiasm make her a little flattered, and uneasy is that she is worried that this is a dream. Maybe Carter is deliberately getting close to herself with some kind of intention, of course she knows that the upright Carter will not do this, this is not his style, but Qin Sijie just has no reason to worry and be uneasy, in the end she is still a little unconfident.

Carter looked at the shyness and uneasiness on Qin Sijie's face, and asked more and more anxiously: "Sijie, tell me that you are a kind girl, right?" ”

Carter longs for love, yes, he longs for this love more than anyone else, Carter made up his mind that as long as Qin Sijie nodded, he would desperately hold this girl firmly in his arms, no longer let her guess, no longer let her worry.

In Carter's heart, as long as he embraced her into his arms, then from this moment on, he would be equivalent to making his own decision, it would be a lifelong commitment, love should be serious, not perfunctory, at least he asked of himself.

However, Qin Sijie couldn't see through Carter, she explained to Carter, explaining that she was just worried about the other party, and looked at Carter with pleading eyes with her head down, hoping that he would let go.

Carter looked at the helplessness on the face of this former personable boss at the moment, and of course the flush on her cheeks, Carter already knew her intentions, but she didn't want to admit it.

Carter hesitated whether to express his promise, and suddenly he thought of Yamamoto again, and finally Carter held back and slowly let go of Qin Sijie's white and soft little hand.

"What's wrong with you? Carter. Qin Sijie rubbed the bowl in her left hand that was scratched by Carter, and asked carefully, "Are you okay, I'm a little worried." ”

Qin Sijie blinked and looked at Carter carefully, observing the change in the expression on his face, wondering if Carter was stimulated by something.

The girl had no idea that Carter's heart, which had been sealed in an ice cave, was slowly melting away from her, and she had made the man in front of her almost lose control. It is Qin Sijie's concern for Carter, as well as her kindness, as well as her personal charm as a female boss, that slowly awakened Carter's tenderness buried deep in his heart.
