Seeing Su Xue's gloomy expression, Long Yun was a little at a loss for a while.

He secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, but he couldn't directly let go of Shangguan Ling, who was still unstable in his arms, so he had to help the eldest lady who was weak to sit down slowly and take a breath, and then hesitantly took two steps in the direction of Su Xue. However, to his surprise, the little girl who had just witnessed the scene in front of her without saying a word, and her face was still pale, showed no signs of seizure, but raised her hand slightly with her eyes lowered and asked Long Yun to hand her the bath towel.

"Ling, you're out of power again today. That's not good! ”

Draping the bath towel casually over her shoulders, Su Xue walked past Long Yun who was standing beside her, and sat down next to Shangguan Ling, who was still a little panting, and wiped the water on her face with the corner of the bath towel. Hearing Sister Su's advice, Shangguan Ling glanced up at Long Yun, and did not reply immediately, but just sat on the ground with his legs reclined and continued to take a few breaths.

"-I, I'm probably still, I'm still too competitive."

"I know that. But...... You can't do everything better than everybody, right? Hee-hee~"

Suspicious didn t bother with long yun anymore su xue said with a smile and continued to wipe shang guan ling and herself in fact she herself seemed to swim easily and she had worked quite hard just now she just tried her best to keep her breathing steady and there was no obvious thing that was.

After sitting on the ground and resting for a while, she helped the eldest lady next to her, and then tilted her head to look at Long Yun, who was still stunned next to her:

"Well, let's go flush."

"Good...... Good. ”

At the end of the short 100-meter competition, both Shangguan Ling, who was doing his best, and Su Xue, who seemed to be leisurely, were already tired enough, so the two of them flushed together, put on their clothes, and returned to the room with Long Yun to rest.

……

In the afternoon of the day. Long Yun and Lin Feng spent time on the competition simulator in the small theater of the "Ruby".

In order to seriously prepare for tomorrow's final match. That is, the decisive battle to determine the ownership of the PRSFT champion. The two immersed themselves in studying the usual tactics of the "Albatross" at the game site, and at the same time inquired about the specific aircraft type and the battle map.

May and Albatross are both simulator teams from the Eastern Nations League, but whether they are looking for a championship out of respect for their opponents or a desire for a championship, the May partners will give their all, and I believe their opponents will do the same. Unlike Lin Feng, who was full of ambition and high spirits because of the last victory, while busy with the training operation in hand, Long Yun was a little absent-minded; From time to time, he would think of Su Xue's complicated expression by the pool, was this little girl angry or what's going on?

After that competition from the pool. didn't dare to use his consciousness to snoop to understand Su Xue's mood without authorization, relying on his pitiful emotional intelligence, Long Yun scratched his head a little embarrassed, he really didn't know how to deal with it.

However, no matter how nervous he was, he could probably guess that this little girl was a little unhappy because of his physical contact with Ling, or in other words......

Could it be that this little girl is jealous?

With a heavy heart, Long Yun had been training on the spot until late before saying goodbye to Lin Feng; Have a casual dinner in the cafeteria and see that it is past eight o'clock in the evening. He returned to the cabin a little apprehensively.

Pressing your finger on the fingerprint sensor, she gently opens the door and enters the living room. Long Yun saw at a glance that the neatly dressed Su Xue was sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding a book in her hand.

"You're back? ――Have you had dinner? ”

"Ah...... Eaten. ”

Hearing Su Xue's voice was very soft, Long Yun subconsciously glanced at the bedroom of the two girls, and he guessed that Shangguan Ling should not have gone out and might have gone to bed at this time. Seeing the attention of the man in front of her with a touch of afterglow from the corner of her eye, the little girl put down the book in her hand and replied indifferently:

"Ling is a little tired, and has already laid down to rest."

"Oh......"

In the quiet living room, the atmosphere became a little awkward for a while, Long Yun, who noticed this, didn't know whether to sit down and try to communicate with Su Xue, or should he go back to his room for a while, he stood in place and looked at the little girl on the sofa with a little guilt, and after a while, he found that the dress she was wearing now was very formal and extraordinarily beautiful.

Isn't this silver-white delicate dress the outfit of the night of the Piano Newcomer Award finals?

Under Long Yun's somewhat frightened and somewhat uncontrollable admiring gaze, Su Xue, who looked demure, was silent for a moment at first, and then slowly stood up and straightened her elegant long body:

"Long Yun, it's already late at night, come out for a walk with me."

……

It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and the wide viewing platform at the stern of the "Ruby" was a little scarce.

Walking on the side of the softly lit platform, the night of the ocean at the end of October is already cold, and the sea breeze blows in all directions with a slight coolness; Following behind Su Xue, who was walking calmly, feeling the cool breeze blowing, Long Yun took off his coat and put it on the little girl's shoulders, and stopped by the railing with her to look at it from afar.

Tonight, under the vast and blurred starry sky, the two of them leaned silently on the wooden railing, looking at the shadowy water and sky in the distance.

“…… Long Yun. ”

"Huh? ――What's wrong? ”

"You know, I'm thinking about something right now, isn't it?"

“……”

There is no need to answer in words, Long Yun's silence is the answer. Thinking of the scene in the swimming pool during the day, even if his emotional intelligence was low, he knew that Su Xue was a little unhappy at that time. But even so, if you want to talk about the reason why Su Xue is troubled, although Long Yun has a vague concept, he doesn't know what to do to dissolve it invisibly.

Sure enough, it's still an emotional idiot who is in trouble, isn't it......

"Long Yun, Ling, this girl, do you think she ...... How? ”

“……？”

One sentence stunned Long Yun, no matter how he guessed, he couldn't imagine that Su Xue would ask such a question, so he could only give a puzzled look, wondering if this kind of question didn't need to be answered at all? But even so, the subconscious mental activity immediately betrayed him completely; Sensing Long Yun's thoughts, Su Xue was still looking into the distance, but her expression became more entangled, and she fell into a long silence again.

waited until the red lips opened lightly again, and the questions asked made Long Yun, an obedient person, even more close to a state of madness:

"Then, Long Yun, do you like her?"

Hearing such a straightforward question, Long Yun struggled to maintain his breathing as if he was about to drown, as if he remembered that there was a so-called "standard answer" to this kind of question that was always correct, but he couldn't say anything, so he was speechless again in a daze.

Under the vast starry sky, in the quiet night, I felt that the thoughts of the man next to me were still entangled, and the little girl's heart began to churn and rise like a stormy wave. With the peculiar function of conscious snooping, she has long been accustomed to facing the reality that is completely real, but often not beautiful, beneath the surface of everything; But if she wants to use this to figure out a person's heart, she is a little hesitant now, and she doesn't know how to do it.

This kind of thing, if you think about it, isn't it just like the water in the bamboo basket and the sand in the palm of your hand?

Bing Xue is a smart and clever woman, but now she rarely falls into a complete emotional entanglement, she suddenly remembered the first time she was asked this kind of question that seemed to have no answer, in the face of her mother's loving face, she gave an innocent and young answer that surprised both parents.

"If you want a basket full of water, why don't you put it in the water?"

Yes, even if it is such a naïve idea, what is there that cannot be realized.

Subconsciously recalling this ordinary and warm conversation, the little girl's restless heart gradually regained its calmness. Faced with the emotional entanglement that seemed to be difficult to choose, although she didn't know what kind of ending would wait for the end of the road, she still couldn't hold back the expectation that was gradually blooming in her heart, and wanted to experience this perhaps the most tortuous and long, but also the most beautiful and unforgettable journey of life.

It was only after a long silence that Su Xue, who had been thinking for a long time, turned to face Long Yun and put her hands folded in front of her; With a hint of reluctantly suppressed shyness, the little girl's voice was still so sweet and soft:

"Forget it, don't think about that anymore. Actually, sometimes...... When it comes to such a time and occasion, you must be brave enough to say what you want to say, so that you can leave no regrets. - Long Yun, I've done it, what about you? ”

Under the brilliant starry sky, in the blurred night, the long and elegant silver-white figure was still clear, and it seemed that there was a gorgeous and dazzling peerless elegance all over the body, and Long Yun was a little dizzy for a while; Sensing the tide-like mind of the woman in front of him, he understood the meaning of Su Xue's words as if he had divine help, and all the tension and uneasiness disappeared in an instant.

The heart was pounding at a rhythm that had never been done before, and Long Yun had a fateful epiphany like an empowerment, that is, "there is nothing more suitable than now".

"Su Xue, that ...... Please, one thing! ”

"En......"

Hearing the hasty words of the man in front of her, at this time there was still no mood at all, but the little girl had already been completely unable to control that much, her face was crimson with low eyebrows and pleasing to the eyes, her head drooped lightly, quietly waiting for her sweetheart's confession; Seeing such a fascinating demeanor, Long Yun's words seemed to be a bit unreasonable, to put it bluntly, he still had no experience in this kind of thing, so he was extremely cramped and clumsy.

"We ...... Let's socialize! ”

Hey, what is this, haven't we all been dating for months?

Thinking that the ideological connection between the two is extraordinary after all, in fact, there is no need for any verbal confession at all, and the little girl's expression is unconcealable happiness rippling; She bit her lip lightly and raised her head, looked at Long Yun in front of her, who was obviously nervous, and muttered for a moment before her lips opened lightly:

"So, shall I think about it for a moment?" (To be continued......)
