The sound of the sea breeze whistling through the golden sand rolling on the beach, through the dark edges and corners of the reef, towards the deserted winding roads and the lush forests beyond.

Walking alone on the beach and walking along the coastline hand in hand with two people are two very different experiences.

The wind is fierce, the waves are turbulent, the sea with no end in sight, the sky is high and wide, the world is vast, and it is inevitable that a sense of loneliness will spring up from the bottom of my heart;

At this time, if you can have a companion by your side, this loneliness will quickly turn into a sense of peace with others.

Yan Jingxing and Ji Chunzao chatted while taking off their shoes and walking on the beach. The boys and girls let the soles of their feet come into direct contact with the sand, and the heat left behind by the sun is unbearable;

So every time they walked, they had to run to the soft muddy ground soaked in the sea until the cool feeling turned to a biting coldness, and then they ran back to continue to experience the feeling of being burned by the sand, and so on.

Yan Jingxing occasionally couldn't help but look down, the curly-haired girl's snow-white little feet were covered with golden quicksand for a while, soaked under the surface of the water foaming at the surface, and left a series of shallow footprints on the dark muddy mudflats.

He stared intently at her running around, almost fascinated.

"Look at the move! Hey! ”

was chatting, Ji Chunzao took advantage of his inattention, bent down and picked up a handful of cool with both hands, and threw it towards his face.

Yan Jingxing couldn't dodge, so he could only close his eyes and let the water splash and flow down the ends of his hair.

"Hey ......"

He was a little helpless.

"Hahaha!"

Yan Jingxing heard the girl's crisp and happy laughter, and thought to herself, Chunzao, she is really still a child's temper.

He wiped his wet face and asked:

"What do you mean by that?"

"Huh?"

Ji Chunzao tilted his head and asked suspiciously.

"Did I say anything?"

"You didn't say you wanted me to take you to ......"

"That's literal."

Ji Chunzao pursed his lips.

"Aren't you going to transform now, and you're going to fly? I want you to take me around the heavens. ”

"That's right......" Yan Jingxing thought for a moment and said, "Well, it's not impossible. ”

"I see!" The pursed mouth quickly loosened, and a smile bloomed on the curly-haired girl's face, "I thought you didn't react, but you just didn't want to." ”

The ability of the body is so dangerous and powerful, and there is a time limit, so it should be used in battle—others may think so, but in Yan Jingxing's opinion, there is no more important reason than using the ability for a friend.

"I just think you're making a lot of mystery on the phone, and I thought it was something very important."

"Is there one? Maybe it's because it came to me out of nowhere...... It's so enviable that you can fly in the sky like that. ”

Ji Chunzao replied with a grin.

"I'm going to be the first to enjoy! In this way, he will be able to show off in front of Yuzhi when the time comes. ”

It's for this reason that you said on the phone not to talk to the eldest lady? Compared with last night's experience, Yan Jingxing felt like he didn't know what to say.

"Ren Yuzhi is not as naughty as you, so naturally I can't imagine it."

"What do you say in front of people?"

The little girl pretended to be dissatisfied, and stabbed him hard with her elbow.

……

After the two of them walked to the edge of a mountain cliff and made sure that there was no one around, Yan Jingxing moved his body.

"Let's get started."

He said.

"Are you ready?"

"Hmm!"

Ji Chunzao shook his head up and down vigorously, his expression full of anticipation.

Yan Jingxing whispered to himself in his heart: "Body." ”

It's like an indicator word - the heroes in the anime often shout out a certain iconic name when they transform, and Yan Jingxing feels that he needs the same thing.

Although it was too shameful to shout it directly, he still set such a word for himself, and when he was engrossed in reciting it silently, the power that was sleeping in his body awakened, and the drastic changes that would happen to him -

"Click...... Click......"

With a subtle sound, like the friction between bones, or the movement of plant growth, the heavy white armor covered Yan Jingxing's face and body; The boy's physique quickly grew taller and stronger, reaching a full three meters tall, exactly twice the size of the little girl.

Ji Chunzao, who is more than 1.5 meters tall, has a head that is not even up to the waist of a giant, and she has to raise her head to see the face of the body.

Seeing the giant descend in front of her, Ji Chunzao's mood was excited, she took a deep breath, and then saw the other party leaning down and stretching out his hand towards her.

Without the slightest hesitation, the girl put her hand into the palm of the giant.

The big hand held her small hand carefully and lightly as if it were holding a fragile treasure, and there was an indescribable sense of security.

Jing Xing transformed, became handsome and tall, she thought.

Ji Chunzao quickly climbed onto the shoulders of the body, and the craggy bones on the giant's body allowed her to easily climb to the edge.

"Are you ready?"

The giant spoke, his body with the magical power of telepathy, and his voice seemed to come straight from her heart.

Ji Chunzao pressed his chest, this feeling was as if Jing Xing lived in the bottom of his heart...... Her little face crept red.

"Well, I'm ready."

The giant's body fell slightly for a moment, apparently in a posture ready to jump.

"Bang!"

There was a crisp echo, like a violent throwing of a plastic bag into an empty place.

Suddenly, the ground below began to move away rapidly. Startled, she grabbed the black tentacles peeking out of the cracks in her bones.

The stagnant wind around her began to flow, gently blowing across her cheeks, as if telling an incredible secret.

The sun poured generously down on her, and the wind slowly grew louder, enveloping her, pouring into her neckline and sleeves, replacing her breath—

Ji Chunzao closed his eyes forcefully, feeling this feeling that he had never experienced before.

Mankind's oldest dream, to fly—

Flap your wings like a bird and soar freely between the blue sky and white clouds.

The wind grew louder and louder, but not so violent that it would hurt her, or simply lift her down.

The giant's movement posture under him is very calm, like a train moving at high speed on the tracks, making people almost feel his presence.

That's amazing, Jing Xing...... Ji Chunzao couldn't help but sigh.

Finally, she noticed that the giant had stopped.

The girl slowly opened her eyes, witnessing a scene that she had imagined countless times but had never had the opportunity to see.

The world seemed to stand still, and she was floating silently in the air, surrounded by blue sky and white clouds, and whether blue or white, the color was as pure as a fake artificial device;

Ji Chunzao's hand grasping the tentacles harder, she was bold and looked down-

What catches your eye is a familiar and unfamiliar landscape, roads, mountains, forests, reefs, and coasts, all of which have become so tiny, like miniature sand basin landscapes.

"What a beautiful ......"

She sighed as she couldn't help but look at the giant's face.

Because it was covered by a strict skull mask, she couldn't see Jing Xing's eyes; But those powerful arms are transmitting the power of support.

She could feel that Jing Xing was "looking" at herself.

"Don't worry, with me, you won't fall."

The voice in my heart sounded again. The girl's face was always red, and I don't know if it was blown by the wind.

"Do you want to continue?"

“…… Well, go ahead. ”

The giant held her, up again.

Ji Chunzao pressed her face against the white bones, cold as metal, but she seemed to be able to feel the body temperature of the part that belonged to the "person" under the armor.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The heartbeats of the two men overlapped.

The girl's heart beat like a drum fast and regularly, and she had never felt her breathing, her heartbeat so clearly, and she was struck by the novelty and beauty.

The strong wind brought by the flight made the girl's hair fly, and the fabric of the long skirt clung tightly to her body, outlining the green curves.

The golden sunlight pierced through the clouds and fell like a feather, making people feel hot all over.

Ji Chunzao raised his head and saw an endless sea of clouds in front of him.

The giant marched forward like a whale from the calm bottom of the deep sea, wagging its tail towards the turbulent surface of the water.

"Be careful, don't stand up."

"Well, you're going to protect me, huh?"

In the process, the manic air flow collided with the sturdy armor like a vortex of blades, making a piercing sound and even splashing sparks.

The white giant raised his arm, and the fierce and sharp air flow was dissipated by the heat in the moment it surged over, and the girl who was protected by the giant in his arms was unscathed.

This process lasted for a few short minutes, until—

"Whew."

The sea of clouds churned, and the figure of the white giant pierced through it, leaving a sinuous trail in the blue background, like a whale leaping out of the water.

Ji Chunzao, who had curled up her body since just now, clinged to the edge of her arm as thick as the beam with her hands, and she carefully lifted her body and raised her face.

Below is the boundless white "waves" and "sea".

The giant was silent, raised his other hand, and pointed straight up.

Ji Chunzao followed his instructions and looked up into the depths of the firmament.

There was an endless deep blue, and in the daytime sky, the girl saw the stars hanging from the cosmic curtain.

The bright, huge stars are completely different from what you see from the land.

She stretched out her hand as if she could touch the distant planets, which had never been so close to her......

Summer vacation of 14 years old, summer sky without rain. She flew on the giant, soaring into the sky, and saw a blue as pure glass, like a clear and vast lake.

The world above the clouds is so beautiful, the sun and the temperature of the air are just right, with him.

I'm incredibly lucky.

Ji Chunzao turned his head to look at him again, this thought was extremely clear and intense.

"He's right next to me".

In this moment, which seems like an instant, and at the same time as an eternity, she is no longer just a spectator, but a part of this wonderful world.

She laughed silently.
