A few years later.
Melissa graduated from the academy at the age of nineteen.
One day later, it's her birthday.
…
The next day.
Klein and Benson bought some wine and food, cooked a sumptuous dinner, and celebrated Melissa's birthday, which moved her very much.
Halfway through the meal, Benson took out a gift and gave it to her: "Melissa, my dear sister, today is your nineteenth birthday, and you have grown up. You are a big girl. I don't have anything to give you." , I’ll give you a dress.”
"Thank you, brother." Melissa was overjoyed, she liked the gift from Benson so much. The courtesy is light but the affection is heavy, so I immediately reached out and took it.
Then Klein also presented the gift he prepared and said, "Melissa, I wish you a happy birthday."
"Thank you, second brother." Melissa reached out and took it again with a smile on her face. The gift is not important. What is important is that the eldest brother and the second brother have not forgotten her. Celebrating her birthday is the key point.
Chiba smiled: "Well...Melissa, I didn't buy a gift, but I personally customized this birthday cake for you. I hope you like it."
"I like it so much, thank you, Brother Chiba." Melissa smiled, very happy that he had prepared this nine-layer cake for herself.
"Melissa, blow out the candles?" Klein smiled.
Hmm~
Melissa immediately made a wish, then blew out the candles, then cut the cake, and they ate together and enjoyed dinner together.
Melissa had a great time that night.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was already three days later.
Chiba stood in the yard, staring at the delicate red roses that had just bloomed on the branches of a rose bush in the flower bed in a daze.
Da da da~
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps. He didn't look back. Melissa had already come to his side. She smiled: "Brother Qianye, what are you looking at?"
"Flowers." Qianye replied.
He reached out and picked a rose and handed it to Melissa: "Just like it, you have just bloomed and are at your most delicate and beautiful."
Melissa's face turned red, and she quickly reached out to take the rose from his hand and held it tightly, unable to put it down.
"Melissa, I'm leaving tomorrow." Chiba suddenly turned around and said to her.
"Where to go?" Melissa asked nervously. She was not prepared at all and didn't want him to leave her, so she was very disappointed when she heard that he was leaving.
"Sailing, I'm going to sail tomorrow." Chiba said his plan, and it was something he had always wanted to do, so he was ready to set off tomorrow.
"Sailing!" Melissa thought, he was gone, what about herself?
What about yourself?
What should I do?
She asked herself, asked herself, asked herself.
"Brother Chiba, are you...are you sure you will go sailing tomorrow?" Melissa asked again. Check to see if he's really planning on it.
"Yes, we will set off at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon." Chiba said with great certainty.
Melissa fell into silence for a moment, then looked at him and said: "I...I also want to go sailing. Can we go together?"
"Are you going too?"
"Yes, are you unwilling to take me there, or do you think I will drag you down? Are you unwilling to take me?"
Chiba thought for a while, and it was not impossible for her to go: "Melissa, it's not that I don't want to take you, but sailing is not as easy as you think."
"After all, there are winds and waves on the sea, tornadoes, stormy nights, hot sun rays, and pirates burning, killing and robbing. There are also sea monsters and sea monsters in the sea. It is basically dangerous and abnormal. Sailing is equivalent to going on an adventure. Do you want to go there? It’s your freedom, but you have to think carefully, because once you get on the ship, there will be no regrets. Do you still want to go?”
