Chapter 26:

Xiao Xiao looked at her, lowered her gaze slightly, and said softly, "The sand is on her."
"Eh, ah..."
Linyou responded stiffly, and the hot cheek felt the trace depicted by her fingertips, following Xiao Xiao's eyes.
The uneven body temperature makes the touch more vivid, the soft skin is separated by fine gravel, and the action is more like rubbing than wiping.
The damp sea breeze grew, and the clothesline and scattered hair were curled up.
As if to avoid the wind coming from the wind, Xiao Xiao closed his eyes slightly, very close, Linyou could see her white eyelashes were shaking slightly.
The red sun was sinking, and the twilight was in all directions.
It was clear that the heat dissipated, but Linyou felt as if she was in the midday sun, her exposed skin was hot and the wind was hot.
Xiao Xiao opened his eyes again. Her eyes were deeper than usual under the glow of the sea like a surging sea, and her clear eyes were plated with a magnificent color.
...The heart beats too fast.
Lin Yuyou's throat moved slightly with trimmed nails, and Lin Yu's throat moved slightly. From this movement, he felt an unusual sense of crisis and subconsciously grasped her hand.
"...?" Xiao Xiao tilted her head and looked at her suspiciously.
... Linyou didn't know why he did this.
I knew that Xiao Xiao wouldn't hurt her, but the illusion that she was just stared at was...
Linyou cleared her throat and said as calmly as possible: "...It's okay. It's normal to play with sand on the beach. Look, you have it on your face."
Although it seems that I accidentally got it up... Linyou thought humbly.
"Well...where?" Xiao Xiao turned his face, and his eyes seemed to signal her courtesy.
"……Here."
Somehow, Linyou thumped for this action. She rubbed it twice randomly, unconsciously putting it lightly: "Don't care, just take a bath afterwards... Ah, that shell over there."
She pretended to let Xiao Xiao go naturally and went on to collect shells.
"..."
Xiao Xiao looked at her figure and touched her gently touched face with her fingertips.
Linyou enthusiastically invested in the business of collecting shells, and finally picked up a lot, enough to make ten wind chimes, before letting go of the beach that she was looted, and Xiao Xiao piled up sand for a while.
She tried to make a simplified version of Xiaohong under the guidance of Xiao Xiao, but because of the frequent disturbances of lucky money, she always gave up her efforts unconsciously at the prototype stage.
Lin Yuqi buried the big cat with sand.
Lucky spent a long time to earn himself out of the sand, shaking his hair like shaking the bath water.
It pawed the bag hanging around his neck with his claws, the flying fish in it swimed, and the golden scales reflected a ray of light.
Linyou, who was not disturbed by fluff, finally made a humble little red body.
She nodded in satisfaction: "Well, even if Xiao Hong's spirit is involved in family activities."
It's a pity that she can't take pictures now, otherwise she can take the group photo back and show it to Xiaohong besides the beach specialty.
A lucky paw that got away broke the flower.
"Meow!"
"..."
Forget it, Lin Pome, who piled up the finished product once, was too lazy to control it.
The sky gradually darkened, and a bright moon rose from the sea.
Xiao Xiao took Feiyu and didn't know why. After taking a shower, Linyou changed clothes and sat on the carriage, playing a simple ghost draw with two birds. Lucky was expelled from the player's team due to his inability to hold his cards, so she could only serve as a cushion for her.
The wind lamp at the giant tree was brought over and placed in the middle, emitting soft light at night.
"I won!"
"Ga..."
Linyou put a note on Xiaoqing's body.
Because of the difference in species, no matter how hard you try, you can't understand each other's expressions. Linyou's luck is obviously good today, and after a few rounds, it was a complete victory.
She shuffled her cards with a smile on her face, and when she planned to buy another 100 million, a smoky layer of yarn fell in front of her eyes.
"……Eh?"
It is the tail fin of flying fish.
Flying fish flying in the air, under the shining of silver-white moonlight, golden scales circulate in the light.
Compared to the brilliance of the setting sun, it is a bit more cold and mysterious, like a fantasy creature jumping out of a storybook.
It was tied with a saddle-like vehicle, and the snow-haired long-haired forest goblin rode on it, his eyes bent to reach out to Linyou.
"Grapefruit, do you want to come up?"
"..."
Don't—it's impossible!
No one can refuse such an invitation? Lin You sat at the back, holding Xiao Xiao's waist tightly, and hadn't recovered from the incredible scene. His mood was as high as the arc when he crossed the sea.
"Where are you going?"
Her voice shattered in the wind brought by the flight, but Xiao Xiao seemed to hear it.
"Um... didn't think about it."
Lin You said: "Does it have to fly all the way across the Pacific Ocean?"
Xiao Xiao answered very seriously: "Grapefruit, want to go?"
"Just kidding! Don't go!"
Xiao Xiao's brisk laughter came from the wind across his ears.
Flying fish turned down sharply, crossed the sea in Lin Yu's rapidly beating heartbeat, raised beautiful water splashes, then jumped over the reflected moon shadow, and slowly stopped in mid-air.
The tide full of moonlight was slowly surging.
Yinyue hangs high above the sky, and under its light, the starry sky seems to have become small.
Linyou slowly regained her breath.
She leaned behind Xiao Xiao and listened to her heartbeat and Xiao Xiao's heartbeat ensemble, and no one spoke. Between the vast world, it seemed that only the closest one existed distinctly from each other.
On the calm sea, a wide fishback suddenly floated, a whale, which spewed out a water column, rolled up the waves leisurely, and in the quiet moonlight, the ethereal and long-term tweets reverberated for a long time.
"……odor."
Xiao Xiao suddenly spoke, and she turned a little, her side close to Linyou.
"What?" Linyou asked.
"You shouldn't add Xiaohong's fragrance to the soap." Xiao Xiao's hair slipped off her shoulders and swept on Linyou's arm. She looked a little annoyed. "You're dyed that smell."
"..." Why did you mention this here, are you a small animal who recognizes people by smell?
Lin Yu couldn't help crying and laughing, and rejoiced a little about her childish possessiveness: "You are all all in it? We have the same taste."
Xiao Xiao froze for a moment, she blinked twice, and suddenly smiled: "This is... well, this is fine."
So... what is it like?
Lin Yuyou, who was supposed to be tired after playing for a day, was still thinking about this problem.
It is said that one of the three illusions of life is that you think that the people you like also like you. If this can be classified as a certain disease, Linyou thinks that she has already been ill.
With a slight sigh, she closed her eyes.
After that, they spent more than half a month at the seaside-mainly Linyou thought about coming here, boiled half a cart of sea salt, and then prepared to go back.
Xiao Xiao drove the car, passing the original university town area, and stopped at the entrance of SW University.
"Don't you go?" she asked the absent-minded Linyou in the passenger's seat.
"Huh? Huh..."
Lin You turned back and hesitated: "Xiao Xiao, didn't you ask me about it before? Would you like to go to my school too? Ah, I didn't seem to tell you? My school is on the next street ."
...I haven't said it yet.
Xiao Xiao's eyes were bright: "Go."
That said, it's not pretty.
Lin You and Xiao Xiao walked on the main road in the campus, and the surrounding facilities were badly abandoned.
She pointed to the building that appeared to have suffered serious damage and was now crumbling, and introduced to Xiao Xiao: "Our canteen. Although the school is not comparable to the next door, the canteen is top!"
"Hmm--" Xiao Xiao, who is next door, should be so agreeable.
There is a forest path beside the canteen, which is a shortcut to the girls’ dormitory. Lucky follow them and scare a mutant spider out of the forest.
"The front is the dormitory. Don't look so broken now... it's not much better before."
"Do you live here before Yuzu?"
"Hmm... wait," Linyou stopped her. "Don't go in, it's definitely dusty, and look like this, what to do if you collapse on the stairs."
"……Oh."
Xiao Xiao stopped in regret.
They strolled around for a while, and there was not much to look at. Linyou didn't plan to detour this time and left. He turned directly over the fence. On the other side was the back door of SW University.
Xiao Xiao turned over, "It's so close."
Lin You said with a smile: "Maybe we have met on the street before."
When Xiao Xiao met for the first time, she had thought about this problem, but her mood was very different now.
Linyou didn't wander aimlessly, but found the target in that direction.
"Grapefruit, have you been here before?"
"Well, I've been there a few times." Linyou said, "Because it's curious, what's the top university in China." Although walking here at that time, she was full of scum and felt ashamed.
...This is not necessary to talk to Xiao Xiao.
Linyou said "Ah": "I found it... I really didn't have much damage here."
Probably similar to the place of honor wall, it is covered with blue background photos, and the outside is separated by glass, so it has been well preserved after so many years.
There is no need to look for it at all. Among the photos that match the public's impression of the senior professors in the university, there is a special one.
Even such a photo resembling an avatar of an ID card cannot cut her delicate facial features and unique temperament.
"This feeling..."
In the photo, the young woman in a white coat has sharp, short hair to her ears, her lips slightly squeezed, her eyes cold, with unconscious arrogance, and a slight impatience in her expression.
Professor Yi Xiaoxiao at the School of Biotechnology.
The first impression... No, no matter how many times you look at it, it is a type that is not easy to get along with.
It is completely different from Xiao Xiao.
Linyou straightened up.
She was very clear that searching here or in the wreckage of the Shiwan base should get more information. Perhaps some of the doubts that haunted her so far can be easily solved.
but……
Linyou turned to Xiao Xiao who was half a step behind.
Xiao Xiao was staring at this, the movement of pursing her lips slightly resembled the person in the picture, but the look was only uneasy...and the indulgence of silently expressing her behavior.
"go home."
Xiao Xiao was startled: "...don't you continue?"
"It's not necessary." Lin You smiled. "After reading it, I'm more certain. It's not anyone else... My Xiao Xiao, it's just my Xiao Xiao."
