Chapter 832 - 80: Second Wave (2)

Chen Lusi didn’t know what to say, so she just kept her head down, eating the lamb skewers.

But found that she was finished again.

And this time.

Xia Panqiu didn’t hand her another... Tang Language was still trying to save her own overcooked lamb skewer.

... It was already as burnt as charcoal.

Probably wouldn’t dare to give it to Chen Lusi.

"Here..."

As Chen Lusi turned to look at Tang Language, Xia Panqiu passed her another lamb skewer.

Chen Lusi turned back, meeting Xia Panqiu’s exceptionally bright eyes under the glow of the campfire.

Xia Panqiu blinked, then spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s: "... We can’t all switch partners and let Xiaoxiao be the only one showing off, right? It’s not fair."

"..."

Chen Lusi heard it, silently took the lamb skewer, but didn’t eat, looking at Tang Language: "Her skewer probably can’t be saved, she’s roasting even the iron skewer until it smokes. Let’s leave for a bit, give her a chance to swap it."

Xia Panqiu turned to look at Tang Language upon hearing that, noticing Tang Language’s desperate look and frequent glances towards Chen Lusi, while the lamb skewer in her hand... was indeed completely charred.

At the same time, Chen Lusi stood up and reached out a hand to her.

Xia Panqiu lifted her snow-white chin slightly, then lowered her head again, delicately placing her hand in Chen Lusi’s palm.

"Let’s go for a walk."

Chen Lusi pulled Xia Panqiu up, then looked at Tang Language.

Tang Language looked at the skewer in her hand, pressed it into the fire a bit, then sighed in relief: "Alright, alright! Go on, get going!"

Chen Lusi shook his head helplessly, turned, and left with Xia Panqiu.

...

As they moved away from the campfire.

The light gradually disappeared, and everything around them grew dark.

The sound of the waves continuously lapping against the shore became even clearer.

Xia Panqiu followed behind Chen Lusi, watching his back, feeling the warmth from his palm, and gradually calming the myriad of complex thoughts.

Until.

Chen Lusi turned around and spoke again: "... We’ve arrived."

Xia Panqiu snapped back to reality this time, looking down at the water lapping at her ankles, realizing they had reached the seashore.

As night fell.

The sea water grew colder.

Suddenly hitting the ankles, it was indeed quite piercing.

Xia Panqiu’s slender body shivered violently.

"Don’t be stubborn."

Chen Lusi noticed, advising: "It’s quite cold now, and there will be more opportunities, summer will come again."

"..."

Xia Panqiu lifted her head in response: "But you might not be here."

Chen Lusi shook his head: "I will be."

"No."

Xia Panqiu pursed her lips: "You won’t be, at least not the Chen Lusi who spent half the summer with me."

Chen Lusi was taken aback: "... Why do you say that?"

"Because there are too many people."

Xia Panqiu glanced at her own small snow-white feet wet by the waves, then looked back at Tang Language: "Xiaoxiao, Ji Xin Celestial Strategy, Lin Ying, Lin Wan, even Tangyu Celestial Strategy... they are all so much stronger than me, and the reason I can know you, stand next to you, is actually just because of a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding that started with me.

If... if that incident hadn’t happened, if Xia Yue hadn’t been there, maybe you wouldn’t even know who I am.

So the fact that I can stand in front of you right now is actually a series of unexpected events creating this outcome.

However, unexpected events always have an end.

They end now, as you become stronger and stronger, so strong that you can laugh off that initial accident and misunderstanding.

At that point, I become just an ordinary member of the third squad, a female member needing guidance and care... that’s all."

Chen Lusi heard this, feeling a bit helpless: "In your eyes, do I have such a poor memory?"

"No..."

Xia Panqiu shook her head, making her pretty short hair sway: "Of course not, it’s just there will definitely be a gap, after all, as time passes, even the most profound memories will blur. So I want to, at least while you still remember me, while you still vividly remember me, do something."

Chen Lusi thought for a moment, replying: "... That won’t happen."

"It will."

Xia Panqiu shook her head firmly.

"Then... channel some Spirit energy from within, don’t actually catch a cold."

Meeting Xia Panqiu’s determined expression, Chen Lusi had no choice but to offer a reminder.

"Mhm."

Xia Panqiu agreed.

But then, she didn’t move at all.

Chen Lusi waited for a while, feeling slightly puzzled.

Xia Panqiu’s cheeks flushed, a bit embarrassed: "... It feels a bit shameful."

Chen Lusi: "Then don’t..."

Before he could finish his sentence.

Xia Panqiu directly interrupted him, speaking softly: "Can you help me take off my jacket?"

Chen Lusi looked at her, a bit speechless.

"Please."

Xia Panqiu stepped forward, keeping her head bowed.

Chen Lusi could only reach out and hold her jacket, with Xia Panqiu obediently lifting her arms.

Easily taking off the jacket.

She was wearing a two-piece set different from Si Yujie’s style, the upper body was a small vest, revealing her slim waist, a youthful pink color with a hint of playful sexiness. The lower part was a short skirt, with polka dots and button designs that were very distinctive, the style was conservative yet youthful, exposing her round, fair legs, exuding a strong youthful vibe.

However.

She clearly didn’t listen to what Chen Lusi just said.

After just taking off her jacket, a breeze blew, making her involuntarily shiver, hugging her arms tightly.

Obviously very cold.

Chen Lusi sighed helplessly, stepping forward with her jacket to put it back on her again.

But as he stepped forward.

Xia Panqiu reacted, suddenly stepping forward as well, directly colliding headlong into his embrace.
