Wayne is fishing for crabs in the water.
The afternoon sun was scorching the earth, heat waves were rolling in the air, and even the lush trees could only provide a small patch of shade.
It was supposed to be a sleepy afternoon, but Chris woke up to persecute the innocent little life.
Well, be sure to eat a few more bites when you get to the table.
"This way, this way!"
Chris shouted happily, pointing to a pool of mud beside the stream, where small bubbles popped up from time to time.
"Got you!"
Seeing the right moment, he made a decisive move. A big crab waved its pincers feebly and was lifted out by Wayne.
"Wow--"
Chris excitedly wanted to stretch a small wooden bucket over and let Wayne put the crabs in.
But his foot accidentally slipped.
"Hey, be careful."
Wayne caught her arm just in time.
Wherever you touch it, it's soft and smooth.
A strand of blonde hair hung down playfully beside Chris's ears, but she didn't pay attention to these details at all.
"Put it in quickly! Put it in quickly!"
She shoved the barrel in front of Wayne.
The bottom layer of the barrel was covered with a layer of fine sand, and some clear stream water was also poured into it.
Seeing that Chris had stood firm, Wayne let go of her reluctantly.
The other hand casually threw the crab into the bucket, making a dull sound.
"Move gently!" Chris said slightly.
...There are so many things to pay attention to, and it is said as if it will not be cooked later.
Chrissy didn't wear boots, her white and tender feet stepped on the stones by the stream, her light skirt was lifted up, and tied in a rough knot beside her thighs.
From time to time, water splashes on large and small rocks, and the light mist blowing towards your face brings an indescribable sense of coolness.
ah--
Summer, it's great.
"Hurry up, there's more here!"
Chris was very excited. Although they were just a few ordinary crabs, they seemed to be more valuable than gold, silver and jewelry in her eyes.
Wayne cheered up, bent down and fished out a group of crabs one after another.
"Miss, Master Wayne..."
Not long after, Karen came from the forest with a basket filled with some mushrooms. "It's almost time for us to go back."
Just in case, Wayne asked one more question: "Are mushrooms not poisonous?"
"Of course." Karen said.
Chris thought there was something in his words, and snorted angrily: "Just eat your own, the poison won't kill you."
Wayne raised his legs and stepped on the rock where Chris was standing, facing her face to face.
Over the past few years, Wayne's stature has steadily increased, and he is now a head taller than Chris.
She stepped back a little uncomfortably and said in a fierce tone: "Why, do you want to show off how tall you are?"
Wayne laughed and said: "My shoes are behind your back, of course you come up from here."
Then Chris remembered that before going into the water, Wayne took off his coat, shoes and socks under the big tree by the stream.
She couldn't get off the stage, so she shoved the barrel into his arms.
"I'll go get dressed first, and then come back after you dry yourself!"
Wayne lowered his head and saw that the crabs in the barrel were all piled up in a pile, with their claws and legs intertwined, crawling around inside.
…
In the evening, the steamed crabs came out of the cage.
They were neatly arranged in a circle and lay motionless on the plate.
Before being served, these crabs have been processed by the kitchen. With a light pry, the shell on the abdomen will fall off, revealing the delicious crab meat.
"Pitiful."
Wayne took a big bite with pleasure.
At the end of the summer vacation, he and Chris were staying at a villa in the suburbs for vacation.
Because they were entering higher education, they had no homework and the holidays were extremely long, so the two of them enjoyed a carefree life.
"We have to go back to the capital tomorrow...and the day after tomorrow, we have to report to the academy headquarters."
Chrissy said in a very calm tone.
If it weren't for the extra force in her movements to eliminate the food, Wayne wouldn't be able to see her excitement.
"Yeah," he agreed.
Finally, the gears of fate are about to start turning...
Can Chrissie Winche escape the fate of being a villain and find her true happiness?
——Of course it is possible.
The script is so flattering, how can you lose?
Wayne has already decided that the first thing he will do when school starts is to create an opportunity to hug the original heroine's lap.
This school has a four-year academic system. My senior sister Olive has graduated with excellent results in the past two years and successfully stayed on to become a teacher.
As soon as I go back tomorrow, I will go to her to do some secret manipulation and arrange myself and Chris to be in the same class as the original heroine.

It seems that the many years of training in the Lily Club have taught me a lot of knowledge.
Before that, Wayne had secretly inquired about the "Magic of Light".
Apart from rough records such as "very rare" and "blessed by God", there is no useful information.
The only thing that is clear is that this kind of magic is really powerful, and very few people in history have ever had it, and they don't seem to be related to each other.
"Wayne, if...I mean if, you have a girl you really like in the future, will you hate me because of that person?"
Chris asked with a confused expression.
The fork in Wayne's hand stopped.
"Will not."
Hum, are you worried about gains and losses?
He felt a little secretly happy.
However, Chris's tone quickly changed.
"Hmm... Come to think of it, I'm so popular, no one will hate me." She said very confidently.
In her past career, she was well deserved as one of the leading ladies among aristocrats.
No matter where she is, there are always all kinds of girls she has seen and never seen, familiar and unfamiliar girls, surrounding her like butterflies attracted by nectar.
In a sense, Chris has no fewer fans among girls than the prince's admirers.
"By the way, His Highness the Prince is still looking for that mysterious person named 'Ecos', and he seems to really like him." Chrissy suddenly smiled.
Upon hearing this, Wayne felt as if he had eaten spoiled food in his mouth, and his expression instantly wrinkled.
please! Don't bring up this topic!
In order to avoid unnecessary episodes, he has tried his best to avoid transforming in the outside world.
In other words, since the last appearance, there has been no news about Echos in the royal capital for five years.
But His Highness the Prince was not discouraged, but became more determined.
All the girls who confessed their love to him were rejected by him without exception on the grounds that "my heart belongs to me and I only love one person in this life", and no engagement has been made yet.
"His Royal Highness is so infatuated~"
Chris sighed.
Wayne raised his knife and fork sadly and continued to work hard.
