"Jing Xing?"

"Huh?"

"Jingxing ......"

"What's wrong?"

"Jing Xing!"

"What the hell is going on?"

"It's nothing, it's just a casual call, hahaha......"

…… It's a strange laugh.

Yan Jingxing couldn't help but complain in his heart.

The mask-covered gaze stared at the little girl sitting on his shoulder.

He could tell that she was very happy, her innocent and lovely face was flushed, and the cold wind blew her long hair that curled slightly, fluttering behind her like a flag.

Chunzao is usually very lively, and he has seen excited laughter, happy smiles, and smirks that can't close his mouth. And everyone's laughing habits are different, so just by hearing laughter or seeing the curvature of the corners of the mouth, you can tell the acquaintance.

But......

Chunzao's expression after the smile made him feel a little strange.

I had never seen this girl look like this, it was the calm after the cheers, and she stared at herself quietly, revealing a maturity that she had never seen before.

That's just, it's just......

It's like a real grown-up.

Yan Jingxing's heart suddenly pounded.

For no reason, his mouth was dry for an expression.

He began to rejoice that he was now in the state of driving body, otherwise his red face would definitely be seen by Chunzao and then laughed at.

……

The white giant was suspended in the air, and beneath him was a sea of undulating and uncertain clouds, and the cotton-like clouds were constantly clustered and stacked, like a kingdom standing in the sky, and everywhere you could see the palaces made of rows of tiled beams;

Above him was a huge open blue hole, and the blue and clear dome was inlaid with twinkling stars;

In front of the giant, there is a dazzling light, and the brilliant half-round corona emerges from the sea of clouds, illuminating the "palaces" of the clouds transparently.

For Yan Jingxing, this is also the first time he has seen the scenery, and for a while he only feels open-minded, and indescribable emotions are stirring in his chest.

When he transformed last time, his mind was full of only fighting, and naturally he would not have the opportunity to fly into the clouds and enjoy the heavenly scenery far from the earth like he did now.

If he could witness this scene with his own eyes, he believed that everyone would easily let go of the troubles of the world, and in the face of such a vast world, it really felt that the soul was washed. It's a pity that unless it's a superpowered person like himself, people can only see the scaly feathers of the sea of clouds through the small porthole on the plane.

"How does it feel?"

He asked again.

"The wind is so strong!"

"Because it's in heaven."

Yan Jingxing's mood became cheerful.

"Cherish it, after all, there is less than ...... Well, less than three minutes. ”

"That's right."

"Don't be sad, I'll have a chance when I'm done. And as I get older, I get more and more used to the superpowers of warriors, and the time I can control the body will become longer and longer, maybe one day, I can fly to the sky with you and watch motionless like this for a day. ”

"Hehe......"

Ji Chunzao laughed.

"That's exciting."

"Hmm."

"However, for me now, just looking at it like this is satisfying...... So, don't care. ”

Ji Chunzao said.

The giant floats in the air, and the maiden sits on the giant's shoulders.

The two faced the brilliant sun wheel floating on the sea of clouds together, and no one spoke for a while.

"Jingxing ......"

"Huh?"

"Jing Xing."

“……”

It's here again.

Yan Jingxing heard Ji Chunzao calling his name more than once, but when he wanted an answer, he never got a response.

He wondered. Not knowing why, he just listened in silence.

He suddenly noticed that Ji Chunzao was rubbing the armor on his body with his hand, and then leaned down, his lips squirmed, and whispered in his ear-

"Jing Xing, I ......"

That sentence was drowned in the oncoming wind, and Yan Jingxing couldn't hear it anymore.

No, with his superhuman hearing, it is impossible not to hear.

So there is only one reason, that is, Ji Chunzao did not make a sound at all.

*

A few minutes went by in a flash.

The giant fell into the sea of clouds.

Without any cushioning, the giant was dragged by gravity towards the center of the earth, making a freefall motion. The most exciting buildings in the playgrounds built by humans are far less exaggerated than they are.

Harunamo, who sat on the giant's shoulders, pressed her skirt with her hands, her hair fluttering upwards.

At first, she was frightened by the dangerous and exciting free fall, screaming loudly, and her little face turned pale; But it didn't take long to get used to it, like a professional skydiver.

Because she knew that Jing Xing would never let herself be hurt, this sense of reliability and deep trust easily defeated her natural fear, so the little girl soon began to enjoy this unprecedented experience.

Yan Jingxing heard the girl screaming and cheering, as if she had returned to her usual childish personality.

……

"Bang!"

The White Giant descended from the sky.

With a terrifying screech from far and near, like an airplane flying low overhead; The giant's body was on fire from the violent friction, and its whole body was wrapped in a dazzling golden red, like a falling meteor, smashing directly into the ground.

"Boom!"

Sounds of terror.

The white giant's knees were slightly bent as a cushion, and the mountain rock, which was the foothold, had been smashed into a deep depression. The solid stone beneath his feet was as fragile as a wafer biscuit in the face of this astonishing impact, falling apart and falling in a clump.

With the landing of the body as the center, a circular shockwave was set off, and the ground next to the pit was forcibly spread out like a spider web.

If you accidentally bump into this scene by a passerby, it may be a little problematic, which is why they deliberately want to find a place off the beaten track.

The white giant gently lowered the girl in his arms, allowing her to stand on the ground with both feet.

"Thank you."

Ji Chunzao turned his head and patted his arm with a grin.

In order to realize her wish, Yan Jingxing can be regarded as exhausting all her strength.

After all, this was not a battle of life and death, so he ended the use of his body early before he felt the heat in his body rise rapidly and was about to reach a certain limit.

"Four minutes and thirty seconds, this is the time it takes for the driver to reach the safety valve of the body."

Yan Jingxing said as he exhaled.

"Get out of the way, I'm going to end the transformation."

"Oh."

Ji Chunzao nodded.

But she answered, but her feet did not move at all, and her big eyes stared at him without blinking.

Yan Jingxing was a little helpless by her, but there was no way, he had indeed reached the limit, and if he continued, he had to find a way to vent his heat.

As the white armor vanished, the rising water vapor enveloped him like a thick white mist.

Yan Jingxing's body shook slightly, and finally couldn't support it, kneeling on one knee, panting, and his head was full of cold sweat.

But......

His eyes were shaky and his mind was drowsy, but his consciousness was still lucid.

Sure enough, it was just a slight feeling of detachment and exhaustion, not a direct fainting like after the first battle.

"Are you alright?"

Ji Chunzao's figure hurriedly passed through the white mist and came to his side, trying to help him up.

"I didn't ...... I'm fine......"

Yan Jingxing staggered to his feet.

"Oops!"

As soon as Ji Chunzao's hand touched his body, the little girl exclaimed.

"You're covered in sweat!"

“……”

Yan Jingxing glanced at her speechlessly.

You've known about this kind of thing for a long time, right?

He looked at the girl in front of him staring at him with sparkling eyes, and he had no intention of looking away, and he began to hesitate whether to cover his important parts.

The white mist produced by the rise of water vapor can block it for a while, but it will soon dissipate; Besides, Chunzao is so close to her, it's hard to say if she has been looked at or not-

The sea breeze was blowing, and he suddenly felt cold across the room.

Yan Jingxing gritted his teeth and glared at the little girl in front of him hard.

…… This guy, did you do it on purpose?

"What are you looking at?"

"Of course I'm looking at you......"

Ji Chunzao's face was flushed, and as he spoke, his gaze unconsciously drifted downward.

"Hey, where are your eyes going?"

"See what's wrong? There will be no shortage of meat! ”

She puffed up her chest and replied with confidence.

You really dare to say it, Yan Jingxing thought to himself, obviously he was playing hooligan.

"Get out of the way, haven't you seen it once?"

He drove away angrily.

"Yuzhi was here last time, I'm sorry to look too closely."

The curly-haired girl stuck out her tongue, her face flushing even more rosy, but she still wouldn't look away.

It's really outrageous the more you talk about it.

At this time, Ji Chunzao suddenly put the bag behind him in front, and then raised it ostentatiously-

"See? I brought my clothes here. ”

It turned out that the bag was full of clothes, and it seemed that it was really prepared.

In contrast, he was compromised by Chunzao as soon as he was coquettish, and he transformed directly as soon as his mind was hot, and he simply forgot about the fact that "the clothes will burn after the transformation...... Who is more naïve?

"Hey, hey, if Jing Xing doesn't want to run naked, hurry up and let me see ......"

"Don't."

He snatched the bag with a quick hand, unzipped it and violently pulled the clothes on his body.

Ji Chunzao pursed his lips, as if he was really feeling regret, but he didn't say anything.

By the time he got dressed, the water vapor had almost dissipated.

The sea breeze blows on the body, bringing a cool feeling. Yan Jingxing took a deep breath, his head was dizzy, and he almost fell backwards.

The physical exertion is more severe than you think.

Ji Chunzao hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"Alright, no kidding." She said, "Let's go back together and have a good rest." Also, I'll give Yuzhi a call. ”

“…… What are you doing? ”

"Because being taken to the sky by you is indeed a very beautiful experience, far better than I imagined. Isn't it unfair that I'm the only one who can enjoy it? ”

Yan Jingxing was stunned for a moment.

It was not because of Chunzao's words themselves, but because of her demeanor and tone when she said this, which made him once again convinced that some kind of change that happened to the other party when he was in the sky was not his own delusion.

Ji Chunzao has become more mature, like an adult.

The passage of time in adolescence is to realize in a trance that unpredictable changes have taken place in the people around him: his closest friends, and the world to which he is accustomed.

……

They walked down the hill and decided to walk back along the beach again and on their way home.

As it approached noon, the sun hanging overhead became more intense and hot.

Bathed in the salty sea breeze, with the blue sky and white clouds in the background, the mermaid girl put her hands behind her back, her tail turned into a bare foot on the golden sand, her water-colored skirt danced, she spoke softly and smiled softly at him; That smile was obscured by the dazzling sunlight that fell, and it was not clear for a while.

After returning that day, Yan Jingxing quickly forgot what he had said to her at that time, but this scene was like an overexposed picture recorded by a camera, forever fixed in his mind.
