"Jing Xing?"
"Um?"
"Jing Xing..."
"What's wrong?"
"Jing Xing!"
"What's going on?"
"Nothing, just shouting casually, hahahahaha..."
...This laughter is so strange.
Yan Jingxing couldn't help but complain in his heart.
The eyes covered by the mask stared at the little girl sitting on his shoulder.
He could see that she was very happy, her innocent and lovely face was flushed, and the cold wind blew her long, slightly curly hair, fluttering and stretching behind her like a flag.
Chun Zao is usually very lively. He has seen excited laughter, cheerful smiles, and half-closed giggles. Everyone's laughing habits are different, so you can tell acquaintances just by hearing laughter or seeing the curve of the corners of their mouths.
but……
Chun Zao's expression behind her smile made him feel a little strange.
I have never seen this girl show such an expression before. It was the calmness after cheering. She stared at herself quietly, showing a maturity that she had never seen before.
That's simply, simply...
Like a real grown up.
Yan Jingxing's heart suddenly pounded.
For no apparent reason, his mouth went dry over an expression.
He began to feel lucky that he was now in the state of driving his body, otherwise his ridiculously red face would definitely be seen by Chun Zao and laughed at.
…
The white giant is suspended in the air. Under him is the undulating and turbulent sea of clouds. The cotton-like clouds are constantly clustered and stacked, like a kingdom standing in the sky. Rows of tile roof beams can be seen everywhere. 's palace;
Above him is a huge open green cave, and the clear blue sky is studded with twinkling stars;
In front of the giant, there was a dazzling light, and a brilliant half-round corona emerged from the sea of clouds, illuminating the "palaces" of the clouds.
For Yan Jingxing, this was also the first scenery he saw. For a moment, he felt open-minded and unspeakable emotions surged in his chest.
When he transformed last time, all he could think about was fighting. Naturally, he would not have the opportunity to fly into the sky and enjoy the scenery far away from the earth like he did now.
If he could witness this scene with his own eyes, he believed that everyone would easily put aside their worldly worries. Facing such a vast and vast world, he would really feel that their souls had been cleansed. Unfortunately, unless they are people with super powers like themselves, people can only see the scales and feathers of the sea of clouds through the small portholes on the plane.
"how do you feel?"
he asked again.
"The wind is so strong!"
"Because it's in heaven."
Yan Jingxing's mood became lighter.
"Cherish it, after all, you only have less than...well, less than three minutes."
"That's it."
"Don't be sad, I will still have a chance after I finish my rest. And as I grow older, I become more and more accustomed to the warrior's superpowers, and the time I can control the physical body will become longer and longer. Maybe one day, I can I will take you to the sky and watch you motionless for a whole day."
"hehe……"
Ji Chunzao laughed.
"That's really exciting."
"Um."
"However, for me now, just taking a look like this is enough...so, don't worry about it."
Ji Chunzao said.
The giant floats in the air, and the girl sits on the giant's shoulders.
The two of them faced the brilliant sun floating on the sea of clouds together, and no one spoke for a while.
"Jing Xing..."
"Um?"
"Jing Xing."
"..."
It started again.
Yan Jingxing heard Ji Chunzao calling his name more than once, but when he wanted an answer, he never got a response.
He was confused. He didn't know why, but he just listened in silence.
He suddenly noticed that Ji Chunzao was stroking the armor on his body with his hands, then leaned down, his lips moved, and whispered in his ear——
"Jing Xing, I..."
Those words were drowned in the oncoming wind, and Yan Jingxing could no longer hear them.
No, with my superhuman hearing, it’s impossible not to hear.
So there was only one reason, and that was that Ji Chunzao didn't make any sound at all.
*
A few short minutes passed by.
The giant fell into the sea of clouds.
Without any buffering, the giant was dragged by gravity and flew towards the center of the earth, doing a free fall. The most exciting structures in the amusement parks built by humans are far less exaggerated than them.
Chun Zao, who was sitting on the giant's shoulders, held down her skirt with her hands, her hair flying upwards.
At first, she was frightened by the dangerous and exciting free fall and screamed loudly, her face turned pale; but she soon got used to it, just like a professional skydiver.
Because she knew that Jing Xing would never let herself get hurt, this sense of reliability and deep trust easily defeated her natural fear, and 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.
…
"boom!"
A white giant fell from the sky.
Accompanied by the frightening screams from far to near, like a plane flying low overhead; the giant's body was on fire due to the violent friction, and the whole body was wrapped in dazzling golden red, like a fallen body. The meteor hit the ground directly.
"Boom!"
Horrible sounds.
The white giant's knees were slightly bent as a buffer, and the rock as a foothold had been smashed into a deep depression. The solid stones underfoot were as fragile as wafer biscuits in the face of this astonishing impact, falling apart and falling.
With the body's landing as the center, a circular shock wave was set off, and spider web-like cracks were forcibly spread on the ground next to the pothole.
This scene might cause some problems if a passerby accidentally caught it, which is why they deliberately found an inaccessible place.
The white giant gently lowered the girl in his arms so that she could stand on the ground.
"Thank you."
Ji Chunzao turned around and patted his arm with a smile.
In order to realize her wish, Yan Jingxing exhausted all his efforts.
After all, this was not a life-and-death battle, so before he felt the heat in his body rising rapidly and about to reach a certain limit, he ended the use of his body in advance.
"Four minutes and thirty seconds, this is the time it takes for the driving body to reach the safety valve of the body."
Yan Jingxing exhaled as he spoke.
"Get out of the way, I'm going to end my transformation."
"oh."
Ji Chunzao nodded.
But she said yes, but she showed no intention of moving at all, and stared at him unblinkingly with her big eyes.
Yan Jingxing felt a little helpless when she saw him, but he had no choice. He had indeed reached his limit. If he continued, he would have to find a way to vent his heat.
As the white armor disappeared, the rising water vapor surrounded him like a thick white mist.
Yan Jingxing's body swayed slightly, and finally he couldn't hold it any longer. He knelt on one knee, breathing heavily, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
but……
His vision was shaky and his mind was dizzy, but his consciousness remained clear.
Sure enough, it was just a slight feeling of exhaustion and exhaustion, rather than a direct fainting like after the first battle.
"Are you OK?"
Ji Chunzao's figure hurriedly walked through the white mist and came to his side, trying to help him up.
"No...I'm fine..."
Yan Jingxing stood up unsteadily.
"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 already knew about this kind of thing, right?
He saw the girl in front of him blinking and staring at him with her sparkling eyes, with no intention of looking away. He began to hesitate whether he should cover his important parts.
The white mist generated by the rising water vapor can block it for a while, but it will dissipate soon; besides, Chun Zao is at such a close distance, it is difficult to tell whether she has been completely seen——
The sea breeze blew gently, and he suddenly felt a chill in the space.
Yan Jingxing gritted his teeth and glared hard at the little girl in front of him.
...Did this guy do this 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 eyes drifted downward unconsciously.
"Hey, where are you looking?"
"Look what's wrong? There's no missing piece of meat!"
She puffed out her chest and answered confidently.
You really dare to say that, Yan Jingxing thought to himself, you are obviously acting like a hooligan.
"Get out of the way, haven't you already seen it once?"
He drove him away angrily.
"Yuzhi was here last time, so I was sorry to look too closely."
The curly-haired girl stuck out her tongue, her face getting redder, but she still refused to look away.
It's getting more and more outrageous.
At this time, Ji Chunzao suddenly put the bag behind him in front of him, and then raised it up like a showoff——
"Did you see? I brought some clothes."
It turned out that the bulging bag contained clothes. It seemed that he was really prepared.
In contrast, I gave in after being coquettished by Haruna for a little while, and transformed directly when my head got hot, and simply forgot about "the clothes will be burned after the transformation"... Who is the comparison? So naive.
"Hehehehe, if Jing Xing doesn't want to run around naked, please hurry up and let me see..."
"Never."
With quick eyes and hands, he snatched the bag, opened the zipper, and roughly gathered his clothes.
Ji Chunzao curled his lips, as if he really felt sorry, but didn't say anything.
By the time he got dressed, the steam had almost dissipated.
The sea breeze blows on the body, bringing a cool feeling. Yan Jingxing took a deep breath, his head felt dizzy and he almost fell back.
The physical exertion is more serious than I thought.
Ji Chunzao quickly stepped forward to support him.
"Okay, no more joking," she said, "Let's go back together and have a good rest. Also, I'll give Yuzhi a call."
"……what are you up to?"
"Because being taken up to the sky by you is indeed a very beautiful experience, far more beautiful than I imagined. Is it too unfair that only I can enjoy it?"
Yan Jingxing was stunned for a moment.
Not because of Chunzao's words themselves, but because of her demeanor and tone when she said these words, he was once again convinced that the certain changes he noticed in the other person when he was in the sky were not his illusions.
Ji Chunzao has become more mature, like an adult.
As time passes during adolescence, he suddenly realizes that the people around him have undergone unpredictable changes: including his closest friends and the world he is accustomed to.
…
They walked down the hill and decided to walk back along the beach again, on their way home.
As noon approaches, the sun high above our heads becomes more intense and blazing.
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 naked feet turned into tails stepped on the golden gravel, her aqua skirt danced, she spoke softly and was gentle to him Smiling; that smile was obscured by the dazzling sunlight that fell, making it difficult to see clearly 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 scene recorded by a camera, and it was forever fixed in his mind.
