After saying goodbye to Miss Yone, the young people set out on their way to Geumjiang City.

This time, they didn't rush with the prototype again, and they took the car to the hotel where the adults were staying.

Xie Yuzhi's father saw the children return safely, his eyebrows, which were originally anxious and wrinkled, stretched out, and his eyes were moist to the point of being happy, and he hurriedly got up to welcome him.

"Daddy, are you going to cry?"

Miss Xie raised her head and looked at her father.

“…… yes, that's a rare ......."

Xie Jianye smiled self-deprecatingly.

In addition to the joy, the man's mood is also a little guilty and complicated.

For him, his duty was originally to protect the child as he grew up safely, but he didn't know when it began to be reversed, and it was his turn to need the child to remind and protect.

"What did you do?"

"Our home, White Moon Town, was destroyed by monsters. We exterminated the monsters and drove them out of this world. ”

Xie Yuzhi explained succinctly.

"Understood."

Xie Jianye sighed, and he looked at Yan Jingxing and Ji Chunzao beside his daughter.

"Thank you for being there for her at a critical time."

"We are friends and partners." Yan Jingxing replied, "Without Yuzhi's presence, we would not have been able to win. ”

Without Xie Yuzhi manipulating the Life Weaving Aircraft Carrier, it would be impossible for him to use the true strength of the prototype to transform into a giant god, let alone defeat the sea monster and the divine pillar.

“…… Well. ”

Xie Jianye wanted to speak and stopped.

What he actually wants to say is that the children just need to take care of themselves, and there is no need to ...... So hard.

The destruction of Baiyue Town and the casualties of the townspeople are indeed sad, but as long as you can protect the people around you, it is already good.

Even if they have the ability to fight monsters, it doesn't mean that there is no danger. After all, in Xie Jianye's opinion, fighting alien monsters didn't sound like a group of middle school students should do in the first place.

From his perspective as a parent, he would rather the children be selfish than be harmed in any way.

But Xie Jianye didn't say this kind of thing in the end.

His daughter's personality and ambition are different from his own, and she is destined to take different paths, and she will not become an adult like him in the future.

She and her peers can grow up to be strong, courageous people, and parents should be happy to be parents, not to interfere with their children's development.

"Then let's do it, let's take a break and go meet the people you want to meet."

As an adult, perhaps the most important responsibility in life is to learn to let go when it is time to let go.

As a single father, Xie Jianye thought that he had already been mentally prepared. It's just that he didn't expect this lonely and frustrating moment to come far earlier than he expected......

Xie Yuzhi and Ji Chunzao both went back to find their parents, and Yan Jingxing met with his uncle Yan Yongzhi.

"You're back? You okay?! ”

Yan Yongzhi rushed over with an anxious face, reached out and pressed his nephew's shoulder, looking up and down.

"I'm fine, I'm healthy...... It's all right! ”

No matter what Yan Jingxing said, Yan Yongzhi still confirmed it several times before he was relieved.

"I left Baiyue Town with Boss Xie at the time, but as soon as I turned around, I saw that the whole town was blocked by strange things, and even the road disappeared, which was really scary."

Yan Yongzhi's tone was full of annoyance.

"I didn't know this was going to happen, I shouldn't have come to this town to teach in the first place, and I brought you with me. I also feel that this is to take care of you and be good to you...... If you have three long and two short, how should I explain to my brother and sister-in-law! ”

Yan Jingxing didn't speak.

I still remember that at the beginning, Yan Yongzhi left the place where he originally lived because of work scheduling, Yan Jingxing still felt unhappy, and he was awkward for a while.

For Yan Yongzhi, the quality of teaching in the town and the city may not match, but it is better to have him as an in-service teacher, than to let his nephew stay alone in the city. Let's not talk about whether it will be dangerous for minors to live alone, it is easy for children to learn badly, and there are no adults watching from the side, it is a matter of minutes.

But now, a summer has passed, and the attitude of the uncle and nephew towards this matter has dropped.

Yan Jingxing felt that he was unprecedentedly lucky to be able to come to Baiyue Town, and he could hardly imagine what kind of person he would be if he hadn't experienced this period of time.

He met so many unforgettable people and experienced so many unforgettable things firsthand......

Even if Baiyue Town has been turned upside down, even if it is rebuilt in the future, it will become very different from the past-

However, there are memories of this summer that will never be forgotten for the rest of my life.

So, he was just silent.

After a while, after his uncle had calmed down, he whispered:

“…… I think it's okay. Yan Jingxing shook his head again halfway through speaking, with a firm expression, "No, I think it's very good!" White Moon Town is very important to me. ”

"It's only been a few months, and you're already liking it?"

"Uncle, don't you feel it? It was a beautiful place to be when the town was peaceful before that happened......"

"No, I've lived here longer than you, and your dad and I grew up in the town when we were kids. So, I never thought about ......"

Yan Yongzhi's expression was a little emotional, but also a little regretful. However, his attention quickly returned to his nephew.

"But you're not telling the truth."

"Huh?"

"Isn't it because you kid cheated on a fiancée here that you think it's a good place? In the past, I wouldn't have imagined you could do this. ”

“…… There is also a reason for this. ”

Yan Jingxing's face was a little red, but he didn't deny it.

It's not just Xie Yuzhi, it's Ji Chunzao.

Their relationship sprouted in Baiyue Town, whether it was the current friendship or what the future would turn into - as long as they were still by his side, Yan Jingxing would always remember what had happened in this town.

"Well, what about the future?"

"What?"

"What are you going to do in the future?"

"Aren't you going back to the city to study?"

"I'm talking about ......"

For a moment, Yan Jingxing saw an extremely complicated look in his uncle's eyes.

"Forget it, I don't understand, I can't help you. Let's do it well in the future. ”

Yan Yongzhi patted him on the shoulder again as a sign of encouragement.

He didn't say anything, but Yan Jingxing felt as if he had guessed what he wanted to say.

Uncle should have known that the person who saved him that day was his nephew, and that the disaster in Baiyue Town was solved by himself and his friends, but he seemed to have misunderstood something because of this, thinking that he had such a duty from a long time ago......

However, it doesn't seem to be bad.

*

After Yan Jingxing said goodbye to his uncle, he came to the corridor and happened to bump into Xie Yuzhi, and after the two looked at each other for a moment, they walked in the same direction with a sharp heart.

"What did Uncle Xie say?"

"I didn't say anything, told me to stay safe and not do anything beyond my ability. And then there's ......"

The girl pulled her hair up from her ears.

"Me and you, we are still young, even if we have a marriage contract, we still can't do things that shouldn't be done...... Something like that. ”

"Uh......"

Yan Jingxing was stunned for a moment, and then clenched his fists angrily.

"Uncle Xie treats me like someone! I—I'm not going to do that kind of thing......"

Miss Xie, who was walking side by side with him, glanced at him with a slightly strange expression.

"He said it to me, what are you excited about?"

Yan Jingxing coughed dryly and put down his hand with some embarrassment.

“…… yes. ”

"Where's your side?"

"My uncle thought I had a big mission, but he didn't want to ask, so he just told me to 'do a good job.'"

"You do have a great mission."

"Really? I don't seem to have any real feelings myself......"

"In the eyes of other insiders, that's the case. Of course, whether you really take it or not is another matter, and no matter which path you choose, I will be by your side. ”

"Thank you. Then, only spring algae remains? ”

"Hmm. She's ...... It might be a little embarrassing. ”

Since Ji Chunzao's parents were taken away by the alien spacecraft, the relationship with the uncle and aunt who raised him has always been cold, and they have always been very aware of this matter.

Although Chunzao didn't say it, they secretly made up their minds to face and solve family problems, so all they could do was watch silently from the sidelines.

And now......

"Bang!"

Before they could reach the room, the door was pushed open and the curly-haired girl stepped out of it.

She looks like a rooster who has won a fight, a bit of a show off; The smile on the corner of her mouth shows that she is in a pretty good mood at this time.

“…… Spring algae? ”

The little girl turned her head, the corners of her mouth curling upward, and she reached out and waved vigorously at them.

"Here we go! I have something to tell you. ”

"You...... Finished? Are you okay? ”

Judging from her expression, Yan Jingxing felt that the result of this negotiation was probably good.

To put it simply, after Xie Yuzhi and Miss Mi Ying finished talking, they quickly came up with the next plan and action, which was to help Xie Yuzhi seize the "palace".

Naturally, the implementation of this plan required the three of them to work together, and all of them were indispensable, as in every adventure they had before.

However, according to Miss Yone, the target needs to be searched for, and it needs to compete with other forces, and it is likely that it will not be limited to a certain region or even a certain country, so they need more freedom, and in order to get what they want, they may not even be able to return home for several months in a row.

It's not a problem on the school side, and the mood of other inconsequential people won't be taken to heart; For young people, the only people who want to understand are their parents.

Fortunately, their relatives are all relatively enlightened types, and after seeing the changes in Baiyue Town, they all readily agreed.

The only thing that could be problematic. There is only one Chunzao.

"As I said before, since I met you, my uncle and aunt almost didn't care about my business, so I could follow you all day long."

"Well, you said that. And now? ”

"Now, I'm taking the initiative to bring this up with them."

Ji Chunzao's tone was brisk.

"It was a tacit situation before, but now it's just a matter of saying. They don't have to take responsibility for my affairs in the future, I can take care of myself by myself, that's all. ”

"Oh." Miss Xie nodded, "Then can you?" Without the help of a guardian, it will be very hard to live alone. ”

"So, I'm actually lying, I've never been alone."

Ji Chunzao smiled slyly and cutely.

"I'll stick to you both like kraft candy in the future, don't want to leave me."

Hearing this, the three of them laughed together.

The maiden possessed a scarce sacrificial talent, and now she has inherited the power of the Divine Pillar, and is worshipped as a savior by the intellectuals...... If her relevant information leaks out, it will definitely attract a lot of attention and competition, and if you just want to find someone to take care of her, willing candidates can line up from one end to the other in Baiyue Town.

It's just that, just like none of them really care whether Ji Chunzao will rely on his friends for a lifetime, Ji Chunzao will not choose any "other people".

This pure emotion is a treasure that only belongs to the three of them.

"Oh yes, back to the topic just now, I have something to tell you."

Ji Chunzao pointed out the door and extended an invitation to her companions.

"How about we go out for a walk and have a chat by the way?"

"About what?"

"As for the future, there are ...... Our Covenant. ”
