"Yuki, do you know where Xuko has gone?"

Finding that the void that was still lying next to him just now was gone, Chun Yue sat up from the beach chair with some difficulty, and asked Youxi through the useless Shijiuru.

But this time, Yuki just straightened up his upper body stiffly like a robot, and silently shook his head at Chun Yue, maybe he wanted to express the meaning of "I don't know", or maybe he just "didn't want to say".

"This imaginary ...... Where the hell have you gone......

For some reason, Chun Yue's heart seemed to be suddenly a little upset, and he muttered back to lie down again, but he no longer had the leisurely and comfortable mood just now.

……

At this time, Xuzi, who slipped away from the group of girls alone, was wandering on the ramp between the villa and the beach.

It was as if she was just walking there to eat, and as if she was waiting for someone to appear, and perhaps even she didn't know why she suddenly wanted to go out and hang out by herself.

"Ah......h

After wandering aimlessly for a short while, Xuzi saw Chu Xuan and Gu Quan walking towards him.

The two of them had several large bath towels in their hands, apparently intended to be sent to the girls lying on the beach, so that they would not catch a cold from the night sea breeze.

"Huh? Xuko, are you taking a walk? ”

Seeing the void standing in front, Gu Quan showed a somewhat contrived signature smile and took the lead in saying hello to her.

"Ah...... Hmmm......"

For some reason, such a sentence was just used for greetings, but Xuzi had no way to answer it at all, he just looked at Chu Xuan hesitantly, and there was a strange look in his eyes.

"Ah...... That's right......"

Gu Quan smiled as if he understood something.

He took the other bath towels from Chu Xuan's hand, leaving only one, and by the way, he gave Chu Xuan a "come on" look, and then walked away by himself bypassing Xuzi.

And when passing by Xuzi's side, Gu Quan also said to her empathetically:

"Don't worry, if anyone asks about you, I'll say I don't know."

"Huh? W-What do you mean......

At this time, Xuzi, whose brain was blank, didn't react to why Gu Quan said this at all, and Gu Quan didn't explain to her, he also gave her a "come on" look, and left without looking back.

"Put it on, lest you catch a cold."

Chu Xuan walked to Xuzi's side expressionlessly, and directly handed the bath towel to her very puzzled.

At this time, a clever man will take the initiative to put on a bath towel for the girl.

Chu Xuan is also too reserved in this regard, so he can't catch up with the girl.

"Oh, oh......"

Xuzi, who suddenly became a mess in his heart, took the bath towel in a daze, draped it over his bikini-wearing body with some mechanical movements, and continued to stand there in a daze.

After a short while, Xuzi lowered his eyes and asked softly to Chu Xuan, who had been standing silently in front of her and accompanying her:

"That...... Want to go for a walk over there? ”

The Void was pointing in the opposite direction to the road leading to the beach, where there was a small patch of wood, which was probably the source of fresh water for the isolated island.

"Okay."

Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly and replied very cheerfully.

Then, shoulder to shoulder, the two men walked towards the grove.

Xuzi kept her head down all the way, just walking along the road mechanically, and the light of the moon was also blocked by the trees on both sides of the road, and the mottled shadows made Xuzi's entire silhouette seem a little flickering, let alone see her expression at the moment.

Walking and walking, the dirt road overgrown with weeds finally came to an end in front of a small waterhole, so Xuzi stopped, and Chu Xuan, who had been moving forward with her footsteps, also stopped.

Xuzi silently looked at the dark pool for a while, in fact, he couldn't see anything, and then squatted down, silently staring at the moon reflected on the calm and waveless water, or with the help of the reflection of the moon, observing the tall figure beside him who seemed to be a soldier.

After the already tall Xuzi squatted down, she felt even more that the person next to her was so tall, and she was now like a red panda or some other weak little animal huddled next to that person.

This kind of imagination made the corners of Xuzi's mouth unconsciously curl, and he imagined himself as a cute red panda...... Isn't it a bit of a boast?

Xuzi suddenly became childlike, and stretched out his hand towards the small figure on the water who seemed to be nestled next to Chu Xuan's legs, wanting to destroy that "her".

"Be careful."

At this time, Chu Xuan, who had been stunned, bent down as fast as lightning, stretched out his hand, and directly grabbed the hand that Xuzi stretched out to the water, and directly pulled her into his arms and left the water's edge.

"What's wrong?"

Xuko's voice trembled a little, and her face was already burning hotter, hotter than the sun on the beach in the afternoon, and even hotter than when she had been charcoal-grilled in front of the barbecue.

But fortunately, there wasn't much light around the two of them, and Xuzi was leaning back against Chu Xuan's chest, Chu Xuan shouldn't be able to see her cute ears that had turned red, and he couldn't feel the heat emitted by her face.

"There was a snake swimming under the surface of the water just now."

Chu Xuan gently placed the void in his arms and said to her confidently.

"Snake, is there a snake here?"

Xuzi's voice trembled even more, and he even turned around and threw himself into Chu Xuan's arms all of a sudden.

However, the flush and heat on her face began to recede rapidly, and instead she had to absorb heat from Chu Xuan's chest, who was already wearing a thin shirt, to maintain her body temperature.

Based on his trust in Chu Xuan, Xuzi didn't doubt whether he deliberately made up a lie in order to hug him, and Xuzi didn't think about whether Chu Xuan, who was standing, could really see the snake lurking under the water that she didn't even notice even when she was squatting.

However, Chu Xuan was not lying, there was really a snake there just now, which can only be said to be a coincidence.

"Just a non-venomous grass snake.

Don't worry, it's gone. ”

After theoretically perfecting the enhancement adjustment, Chu Xuan was not only able to see the underwater snake in the dark night, but he was even able to distinguish the specific type of snake, but Xuzi didn't notice his unusual ability, he just believed his words without thinking.

"Well, that's good......"

Although even if the snake swam away, it should still be wandering around this small pool, but Xuzi was immediately relieved by the comfort of Chu Xuan's boring voice that seemed to be able to calm people's hearts.

However, Xuzi, whose body temperature began to warm up again, did not leave Chu Xuan immediately, but still stuck to Chu Xuan's chest, silently listening to his slow and steady heartbeat.

Now Chu Xuan was able to hold Xuzi in his arms as long as he had one ring of his hands, but his hands were honestly hanging by his side, standing motionless like a piece of wood.

And even though Xuzi had been sticking to his chest for a while, Chu Xuan's strengthened and adjusted heart did not speed up the slightest, like an unusually punctual mechanical clock, making a steady and powerful beating sound.

Xuzi left Chu Xuan's chest with a slight loss, but it was only a small step back, and it was still an "intimate distance" that could still make Chu Xuan raise his arm and take her into his arms.

"The ......"

The eyes of the Xuzi with his head down wandered, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Western and Spanish seafood risotto, delicious!"

Because he smelled the smell of oil smoke that was still remaining on Chu Xuan's body, mixed with the smell of a variety of seafood, the blank void in his mind subconsciously blurted out the only sentence he could think of in his heart.

Then, the Void hung her head lower, almost touching her chest, which was nothing.

The girl's heart was filled with shyness and remorse, and she was anxious to say something to make up for her mistake just now, but the more anxious she was, the more she couldn't think of anything in her head.

Perhaps, it's because all the brainpower of an ordinary person has been exhausted during the final exam.

"If you like it."

Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, and said lightly to Xuzi.

Then, his right hand, which had slid by Xuzi's side, was put back to his side in an orderly manner, without the slightest intention of taking the opportunity to "touch" this beautiful girl.

"Happy, like! Very much! I like it the most! ”

The void that had already turned into a mess in his mind immediately followed Chu Xuan's words, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one.

Is Spanish seafood risotto reed? Yes, of course I did!

Whether it is Spain or Portugal, Chu Xuan's craftsmanship has nothing to say, it is simply at the level of the god of food, and Xuzi, who has been eating in Chu Xuan and Youxi's house for nearly three weeks, knows this very well.

No matter what country Chu Xuan cooks, Xuzi likes it very much, and he won't get tired of eating it.

Even the dishes of the bento that have been eaten at breakfast have been chilled down, and Kyoko feels that it has a different flavor.

If someone actually didn't like Chu Xuan's cooking, Xuzi would definitely suspect that that person's sense of taste was broken, or that his brain was also broken.

If...... Just what if...... If Chu Xuan could cook for Xuzi all the time, she would definitely die happily.

- Happily become a fat woman, and then die because of excessive obesity or something.

"Chu, Chu Xuan!"

"Whoa......

Xuzi finally raised his head bravely, and when he wanted to use the momentum just now to say the words that had been haunting his heart to Chu Xuan, behind them, there was a sudden sound of grass and trees shaking.

"Void Child...... Chu Xuan...... You two ......" (To be continued.) )
