Three weeks later.
Dozens of big suns that should have been hanging high above our heads suddenly merged into one a week ago and turned into a super big sun, and then slowly moved westward.
By now, half of the body has been blocked by the horizon, and the remaining part is even larger due to the contrast, as if it occupies half of the sky. Just looking at it is shocking.
The sun generously spreads its golden brilliance, and the endless blue sea also reflects the golden scale-like luster.
The sea breeze blew rough waves, and the fearless waves launched a fatal charge against the earth, and then smashed against the solid cliff. The sea breeze also blew up the long hair of Zheng Yuan and Xiang Bai, the dark and light gray hair. The long hair is intertwined with the help of the sea breeze.
On the cliffs near the sea, the rugged rock walls have been hit by the sea water for many years. Even the hard rock walls are gradually being obliterated by the tireless charge of the waves. The closer the rock walls are to the sea, the more they are dented inward, and the rock walls appear to be inward. The sea surface is in the shape of a crescent, and at the top of the crescent, a man and a woman sit side by side, their shoulders very close, as if they are leaning on each other, but also as if they have never been close.
"It's so beautiful!"
Zheng Yuan looked up at the big sun. The warm yellow sunlight outlined the outline of his face. He smiled lightly, with a hint of smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was happy that he could see such a beautiful scenery, but also as if he was mourning the coming of sunset. .
“Can a sunset that happens once in a hundred years not be beautiful?”
The brilliant shape of the sun was reflected in her light gray pupils. The golden light complemented Xiang Bai's snow-white skin. She pressed her hands on the solid cliff and looked at the sun that seemed to occupy half of the world. Her eyes were filled with tears. It's a stream of light, so bright that people can't bear to look away.
"The tide is coming!"
Xiang Bai said again, she turned her head slightly and glanced at Zheng Yuan from the corner of her eye, with no apparent expression.
"..."
Zheng Yuan looked at the sunset and said nothing.
There was a long silence.
"Am I so unlikeable?"
Xiang Bai said, she shook her tail in frustration, her thin tail fin glowing with colorful light.
"Everyone doesn't like me. I'm not gentle, but rather rough. My hair and eye color are also very ugly. They all call me blind and old. I eat a lot every day and sleep for a long time. I'm not strong. I have no perseverance and no lofty ideals. I always give up halfway. I am a very bad person..."
Xiang Bai talked to himself and kept talking.
"..."
Zheng Yuan looked at her with a smile on his face, like looking up at the big beetle through the mottled shade of the trees in summer.
"Actually, you should go find Xiang Ling. She likes you very much. When we were playing, she would hide and watch from a distance. You were just pitying me, right, so you came with me."
Suddenly, Xiang Bai became dejected again, with a dejected tone, like a big broken cabbage, and the whole fish was wrinkled.
"Ha ha."
Zheng Yuan smiled slightly, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"You don't have to pity me, I...I..."
Xiang Bai's tears involuntarily filled his eyes, the corners of his eyes were red, and he could no longer speak.
Zheng Yuan silently held Xiang Bai's hand. He lowered his head and looked straight into Xiang Bai's pupils. This was the first time they met each other's eyes.
What does that feel like? His whole heart seemed to be clenched, his blood surged up, his ears couldn't help but turn red, and his cheeks were hot, like the feeling of rising body temperature during a fever. Xiang Bai felt dizzy, but the next second, Her tears became even more intense.
"Sorry...I couldn't save you."
Zheng Yuan put down his hand holding Xiang Bai and turned to look at the setting sun, his lowered eyes full of sadness.
"...I thought you didn't know."
Xiang Bai stopped his tears, smiled bitterly, and said softly.
"I knew it the first time I saw you. You looked like an eighty-year-old grandmother, looking like you were going to drive west at any time."
Zheng Yuan suddenly made a little joke.
"Because I am really an old woman who wants to go west. The lifespan of a shark is half that of a mermaid, only 500 years. I am a mutant species, and my lifespan is even shorter, only 250 years. 250, haha, half sealed, half crazy."
Xiang Bai laughed at himself.
"You are really pitying me, aren't you? Seeing that I am going to die, leave a little warmth for this poor person like me at the end of my life."
"No, it's not pity, it's a pity."
Zheng Yuan rejected Xiang Bai's words. He held Xiang Bai's hand again and spoke seriously.
"You are not weak, you are also very gentle. You are very beautiful. Your eyes make me seem to see the stars in the sky. You have not given up halfway. You have been working hard. I am just pity. It is a pity that your life has ended after the dawn. Ushering in a sad ending, I hate sadness the most. I like comedy, comedy where everyone gets together and laughs... Why didn't I save you..."
Zheng Yuan said seriously. The more he spoke, the sadder he became. These days, he had been playing with Xiang Bai. He basically visited all the places worth visiting on the mainland, looking for various delicacies and cooking them with all his strength. He wanted Xiang Bai to evolve his gourmet cells after eating them. , get a longer life... Unfortunately, he failed.
"...Thank you, I'm very happy that you praised me so much."
Xiang Bai held his hand behind his back and gently grasped Zheng Yuan's fingers.
"Promise me, don't fall in love with me. Falling in love with someone who is about to die is a very painful thing. Don't forget me, let me live in your memory, so that on the day you die, I can be with you. Die together..."
Xiang Bai whispered in Zheng Yuan's ear. In front of him, the setting sun became weaker and weaker, like a candle that was about to burn out, like... Xiang Bai.
"The first ninety-nine percent of my life was filled with depression, irritability, and incomprehension from people around me. However, all of this seemed to be in exchange for the last one percent. In these few days, I really Very happy, really...really..."
Xiang Bai gently leaned his head on Zheng Yuan's shoulder, his voice getting lower and lower.
"...I'm so sleepy, take a nap, don't call me...
...
...
do not forget me. "
She closed her eyes, her breathing gradually weakened and stopped. Zheng Yuan stared blankly at the setting sun in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
The sky suddenly turned dark, and you couldn't see your fingers. The next second, the stars in the sky lit up, and an abyss across the sky suddenly appeared. Bright silver water mixed with starlight poured down from the sky, suspected of falling from the Milky Way.

PS: I didn’t really like what I wrote about Atlantis. I always felt like there was something weird about it, but the next one will be the ultimate one, because I wrote this book just for the sake of this next one. It seems like dumplings made for a dish of vinegar, but there will be less food in the next article, because after this article, I will enter the food world!
Spoiler: In the following article, I will write about why my book is called Burning Out, the origin of Zheng Yuan’s Food Demon, and fill in some minor bugs in the plot of The Prisoner of Food.
But I have to say that Shimabukuro Mitsunen is a genius. The prisoner of delicious food came out too early. If in later years, all Japanese comic writers go crazy, will he go crazy? The Internet is developed, and netizens all have great imaginations, and they don’t have to worry about food ideas. The male protagonist is heroic and domineering, and the supporting characters are basically good-looking. Each one is more handsome than the other, especially Sanhu. His tights are simply amazing, and the plot is a bit boring. A touch of beauty can attract female readers, but not too much. The level settings of RPG games basically prevent the combat power from jumping (I’m talking about you, One Piece, don’t look around, you are now even more powerful than Naruto, The top fighting Yonko are about to become clowns! The collective red-nosed Bucky is in the brain!!)
Although the combat power jumps quickly in the later stage, as long as you watch carefully, you will know that Aru and the others also have a basic logic, that is, the plot is not straightened out, and Shimabukuro Lightnian is too eager to finish, otherwise the prisoner of the delicious food must be a god! !
