"Alright, that's it."

Xie Yuzhi crossed her hands on her hips, stood in the middle of the clearing with her chest up and raised her head, her forehead was covered with sweat, but her face was full of satisfaction, the space of the secret base had taken on a new look.

"It's not a big place, but it's more tiring to clean up than expected." Yan Jingxing sat down next to him, "And there will be dust again after a while." ”

"There's no way, the secrets here can't be exposed, we can only do it ourselves."

"You can call Chunzao to come over and help."

"Hmmm......"

Miss Xie tapped her chin with her finger, revealing a slightly subtle expression.

"Although I said that the marriage contract will not affect our relationship, it would still be embarrassing if there was someone staring at us in that situation just now, right? Neither she nor us, so I didn't call her. ”

"Yes."

"Okay, the car is at the foot of the mountain, let's go."

*

After returning home from the secret base, he immediately found his uncle and told him about the marriage contract with Yuzhi.

After listening to this, Yan Yongzhi opened his mouth wide in surprise and muttered:

"You're pretty outrageous."

"Wait, didn't my uncle say yes at the beginning?"

"I promised not to interfere with your choice, but I didn't expect to climb up the pole." The uncle said angrily, "You are both junior high school students, and you actually made a marriage contract without telling adults, and you are not a kindergarten child playing with wine, so it's a shame that you can think of it." ”

“…… Uh, so, you don't agree? ”

"No, I agree." Uncle sighed, "I've figured it out now, anyway, if you don't listen to persuasion, then let it all go." ”

"It's not that I don't listen to ......"

Yan Jingxing grabbed his hair, his expression slightly embarrassed. Recently, he has been doing a lot of work with adults, and he is no longer the image of a good child in the past.

And compared to the marriage contract itself, after understanding Miss Xie's feelings for him, his heart was able to settle down and no longer worry about what he had, which was the most important thing.

While the uncle and nephew were talking, the phone rang again.

"It seems that your little fiancée cares about you very much, and she called again so soon. It's not going to be tomorrow where you're going to go, is it? ”

As he spoke, Yan Yongzhi walked over and picked up the microphone, but his expression quickly changed.

Uncle covered the microphone again and opened his mouth to him, but no sound came out.

"Another...... One...... Piece? ”

Yan Jingxing read the mouth shape word by word, and walked over with a confused expression.

What does it mean to be "another"?

He took the microphone from his uncle's hand and heard a familiar voice.

"Hey! Jing Xing, are you free now? ”

"Spring algae?" Just hearing her lively voice, Yan Jingxing's mood became lighter, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a pleasant smile, "What's the matter, suddenly called?" ”

"It's going to be an official holiday tomorrow, do you have any arrangements?"

"Didn't you?" Yan Jingxing thought about it, it should take a few days for Miss Xie to make arrangements in place, "If there is something, I will tell you again." ”

"So you're free?"

"Hmm."

Yan Jingxing changed his hand to hold the microphone, and nodded subconsciously, as if he was talking face-to-face with the other party.

"What, there's a place you want to go?"

"That's right!"

"Don't you need to call Yuzhi along?"

"No, no, just the two of us."

Ji Chunzao, who was on the other side of the phone, laughed "hey, hey, hey", as if he was playing some strange idea.

"There are some things I want to enjoy first, so I won't tell her."

“…… Enjoy? What to enjoy? ”

He was a little surprised.

"Confidentiality." She said mysteriously, and she could hear irrepressible excitement in her tone, "I just thought of it, and then I called you right away." ”

"Oh......"

Although Yan Jingxing didn't quite understand, he still readily agreed.

"Yes. I don't care. Don't go to a secret base. ”

"Of course not, if you go on an alien adventure, you must get three of us together, this time it's just the two of us hanging out together."

"Where are we meeting?"

"Well, I want to think about it...... Why don't you find a place where no one is around, go to the beach, where we meet for the first time? ”

"Okay."

Counting Ji Chunzao's initiative to summon the predator king, it is the second time, that place has a special meaning for them, and the scenery by the sea is also good...... Yan Jingxing's answer was very crisp, and he heard Ji Chunzao on the other side of the phone let out a satisfied chuckle.

"That's good, thanks!"

……

After hanging up the phone, I saw my uncle clasping his hands and looking at him with strange eyes.

"Looking for you again?"

"Well, it's Haruzamo, and she invited me to hang out tomorrow."

Yan Jingxing said.

"Also, uncle, why did you just say 'another'...... Why are you so mysterious? ”

"Stinky boy, I really don't know what to do."

Yan Yongzhi reached out and rubbed his nephew's dog head angrily, making his hair as messy as a bird's nest, which was somewhat angry. After all, he is still single, and he never thought that his nephew, who was still a junior high school student, would already live a life of hugging left and right in advance.

"Aren't I worried that you will give up all the time, and I'm afraid that the little girl will call to find trouble? I thought you knew what to do. ”

“…… Yes? ”

Yan Jingxing touched his head and asked in surprise:

"What, what a mess and abandonment! She and I didn't ......."

"Really, really?"

"Just good friends."

He emphasized.

"That's what your kid swore to me yesterday, I remember it very clearly, don't think about it."

"Uh......"

"Aren't you and the eldest lady of the Xie family just friends before today?"

Uncle's words made him slightly stunned.

Speaking of which, Chunzao did only say the agreed place on the phone, but did not mention what to do, which made it mysterious.

Could it be that she called herself out in order to-

When he thought of this, his heart trembled, but he couldn't help but shake his head.

"Impossible."

He really couldn't imagine that Chunzao's ignorant face would say such astonishing words as "let's get married" like Miss Xie.

Although they are all the same age, in Yan Jingxing's eyes, Chunzao is even more childish than himself......

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

"Okay, I can't control you, you can handle this matter yourself."

Yan Yongzhi is out of sight and out of mind, and he doesn't plan to care anymore.

Even if this kid really stepped on two boats, it wouldn't matter to him if he capsized in the future-

That's the mistake you make when you're young. Since sooner or later we have to learn a lesson, it is better to suffer early than late.

*

The next day, Yan Jingxing took a bus to the beach.

There were snacks and drinks in the schoolbag he brought, although I didn't know what Chunzao wanted to do when he asked him to meet this time, but the last time we met, she forced herself to a state of almost fainting from hunger, which was really impressive, and she had to guard against it.

After walking a few hundred meters along the familiar sandy beach behind the rest stop, he suddenly heard singing.

Yan Jingxing raised his head and squinted his eyes to look ahead.

The sun is shining, the waves are undulating, the white waves crash against the reef, and the clear and melodious singing lingers over the road. This scene is familiar.

- A slender figure from the depths of the sea, sitting quietly on a huge reef.

The figure had its back to the sky, its hair long like seaweed, and the bright sunlight fell on her body, shining like broken gold.

Yan Jingxing subconsciously stopped his pace and didn't move forward for a while.

He stared at the mermaid-like figure and thought quietly: Isn't this what they saw when they first met?

Then, abruptly, the singing stopped.

The singing girl spotted him from afar, and immediately jumped off the reef, as nimble as a wallcat; She ran towards her, her water lotus-colored skirt fluttering in the wind behind her.

"Jingxing ——!"

Ji Chunzao, as usual, rushed into his arms recklessly.

Yan Jingxing didn't dodge or dodge, smiled and stretched out his hand to catch her, and was about to say something, when he suddenly noticed a silky smooth touch coming from the place where his palm touched.

Only then did he notice that the little girl was wearing a sleeveless dress, and her long black hair was hanging down, covering a large area of milk-white skin.

Yan Jingxing felt a little dazzling, probably because of the sunlight above his head...... He looked away silently.

"Jing Xing Jing Xing, I want to ask you for a favor."

Ji Chunzao, who grabbed his arm and refused to let go, buried his head in his arms and said loudly.

"Uh-huh, you say."

Yan Jingxing was a little absent-minded.

He suddenly realized that he and Miss Xie were already unmarried couples, should they keep their distance from other girls......

But after he broke free twice, he found that Ji Chunzao hugged him too tightly, like a sticky candy and couldn't shake it off at all, and he couldn't really push hard, so he had to continue to let her hold him.

Forget it, Chunzao shouldn't be considered "other girls", he thought to himself.

The two maintained a skin-to-skin hugging posture, and always felt that the temperature had risen several degrees at once.

It must be the fault of the sun in the sky.

"-Jing Xing, can you take me to fly?"

Then, he heard the girl in his arms whisper to himself.
