The afternoon sun burned the beach, and it felt a little hot to sit on it.
"Why did he leave?"
Mari Goto asked subconsciously.
"Why can't he leave?"
Gu Qingqiu replied pretending to be confused.
"No, I mean, he..."
Mari Goto couldn't speak any more.
Yes,
Who said you can't leave after you save someone?
People don't take credit, don't ask for reward, and don't even need to say thank you. In the words of Kyushu people, what do you call it?
When the matter is over, brush off your clothes and hide your merit and fame?
What a good man!
Thinking of this, Goto Mari felt even more uncomfortable. She owed such a huge favor and if she couldn't pay it back, she would feel uncomfortable for the rest of her life.
"He is a tourist. He has been playing around in the past few days. You might even meet him!"
Gu Qingqiu secretly observed the expression of this Sakura girl and found that there was some regret and embarrassment on her face.
This convinced Gu Qingqiu that she was a good girl who was grateful and reciprocated.
His plan was indeed right, let Lin Baici leave, and the next time they meet by chance, he can gain more favorability points.
"I'm a little hungry."
Xia Hongyao touched her belly and interrupted at the right time: "How far is it from the nearest town?"
"Is there anything good to eat in town?"
Let’s go to town first.
"It takes about an hour to ride a bicycle."
Goto Mari turned her head and looked at the beach.
She is a responsible girl. As a beach lifeguard, she wants to stay on the beach until sunset even if it is her last day. But now, she wants to repay the other person for saving her life.
In Goto Mari's view, Gu Qingqiu woke up earlier than she did. People and friends had been taking care of her who was in a coma. She should treat them to a meal and express her gratitude.
"You just keep walking along this road and you'll be there!"
Goto Mari checked her phone: "At 6pm, do you have time?"
"I want to treat you to dinner!"
Xia Hongyao waved her hand quickly: "You're welcome, it's our turn to invite you!"
"Please appreciate it!"
Gu Qingqiu's respectful attitude made Goto Mari so humble that her face turned red with embarrassment.
After all, no one could be saved, and he himself drowned.
Gu Qingqiu and Goto Mari chatted for a while, agreed on a dinner time, and left.
There is nothing interesting to see or do on the beach. Staying here all the time will easily arouse the suspicion of Sakura Girl.
After riding his bicycle and running for ten minutes, Xia Hongyao finally couldn't help it and burst into laughter.
"It's done!"
Gao Ponytail is very happy, Xiao Linzi and Xiao Loach, his two trump cards are enough to solve all problems.
"Actually, there's no need to go to such trouble. With the looks and figure of the alumni, it's really a killing!"
Gu Qingqiu joked: "I don't believe that Sakura girl can withstand it!"
Gu Qingqiu was looking forward to this "Love Theater" and treated it like a drama.
The two rode for a while, and when they arrived at the sunflower field, they saw Lin Baici parked his motorcycle on the side of the road. He had an easel in front of him, and he was writing and drawing on it with an oil paintbrush.
Just as Xia Hongyao was about to pass, he was grabbed by Gu Qingqiu.
"What's wrong?"
The high ponytail is puzzled.
"Watch it for a while!"
Gu Qingqiu liked this scene very much.
Lin Baici was standing on the roadside sketching in a large field of golden flowers. The background was a clear blue sky with a few white clouds floating by occasionally.
The whole world is so clean that it seems that even the silt sinking in my heart has been cleared away.
call!
Gu Qingqiu couldn't help but take a deep breath and exhaled a breath of turbid air.
Lin Baici's observation skills were quite keen and he quickly spotted Gu Qingqiu and the others: "How are they?"
"all the best!"
Xia Hongyao made an OK gesture, rode over, then stopped, with his left foot on the road without getting off.
"Why did you suddenly become artistic?"
Xia Hongyao glanced at the oil painting and then at the flower field: "Could this field of sunflowers be related to pollution?"
"No, I'm just painting in case I need it!"
Lin Baici had to wait for Xia Hongyao and the others, and was bored, so he wanted to learn how to conquer the cherry blossom girl, and painting was one of the steps.
"oh!"
Xia Hongyao appreciates oil paintings.
On the drawing paper are large fields of sunflowers. The colors are very gorgeous. One look at it makes people feel better inexplicably. Then in the flower field, there is a path, and a girl is riding a bicycle!
Looming and appearing!
That youthful and joyful aura rushed to my face.
"The painting is quite good!"
Xia Hongyao likes it very much.
Gu Qingqiu told him everything that happened after Lin Baici left, as well as her character profile of Goto Mari.
In order to be realistic, the two parties did not ride together, but separated, entering the town more than ten minutes apart.
The town is not big and there are not many people there. They all looked at the two foreign tourists Xia Hongyao curiously.
After waiting for the time agreed upon with Goto Mari, Xia Hongyao and Gu Qingqiu went to a restaurant called ‘Shan no Taste’.
Mari Goto kept her promise and arrived early. When she saw Xia Hongyao and the others, she waved immediately.
"There is nothing interesting in the small town, only in the mountains!"
Mari Goto said this while inviting the two of them into the restaurant.
The restaurant is not big, but it is very popular. It has just arrived at dinner time and there are already many diners sitting there.
The boss is a middle-aged uncle, with his head wrapped in a blue cloth, and he is busy.
Tempura, fried pork cutlet, ramen soup...
Various fragrances are mixed together and rush over together with the cold air from the air conditioner, whetting your appetite.
“It smells so good!”
Xia Hongyao couldn't help but sniff.
Mari Goto found a seat and arranged for Xia Hongyao and the others to sit down. While chatting with the boss, he went to the front desk to get two menus and handed them to them.
"Uncle Fujii's ramen is super delicious, and the soup is made from wild boar in the mountains!"
While introducing, Goto Mari went to get three bottles of drinks from the ice bucket with ice cubes.
“Then eat ramen!”
Gu Qingqiu twirled the menu with his fingers and scanned the dishes.
In this kind of restaurant, the chef cooks in front of the guests, so the menus are written on several wooden boards and hung above the kitchen counter.
"I also want a piece of ramen, plus a piece of tempura, dumplings, and a few side dishes, too!"
Summer red medicine order.
…
Goto Mari was a very simple female high school student. After eating a meal, Gu Qingqiu didn't use any words and just chatted casually, making her situation very confusing.
Her family is in the mountains, so she came to the town to live with her aunt because she had to go to school.
Xia Hongyao said casually that she wanted to go to Mari Goto's house, so the enthusiastic high school girl hesitated for the first time and looked embarrassed.
"There's a problem!"
Gu Qingqiu immediately realized that that village might not be simple.
However, this issue is left to the alumni to resolve.
After the three of them had eaten, Goto Mari sent Xia Hongyao and the others to a B&B before returning home.
"She's a good girl!"
Gu Qingqiu sighed.
Goto Mari was looking around all the way. No need to ask, she must be looking for Lin Baici to thank him.
In the evening, Lin Baici came over, climbed in through the window, and discussed the details with Gu Qingqiu before leaving.
…
The sun was shining brightly in the morning, and Goto Mari took a good nap. After being urged by her aunt, she reluctantly got up, ate a few bites of breakfast, and ran to school with her lunch box.
After arriving at the school and entering the teaching building, Mari Goto rushed all the way to Class 2, Grade 3.
The noise was endless.
A group of classmates who had not seen each other during the vacation were sharing interesting stories about the vacation.
Mari Goto's seat is in the second row in the middle, third from the last.
"Marri-chan!"
"You've turned black!"
Hello friends.
Although it was the first day of class, everyone quickly fell into a familiar rhythm of life.
At noon, some people went to the school canteen to buy bread, while others ate their own lunch boxes.
When Goto Mari went to the sink to wash the lunch boxes and came back, she saw several girls crawling on the windowsill, looking at the playground, and chattering.
"Goto, come and see, there is a handsome guy!"
"He is so tall!"
"Is he a transfer student?"
"At this age, he should be a teacher, right?"
The girls had nothing to do and were in a panic. Now when they saw a handsome boy suddenly appeared on campus, they immediately started discussing it with great interest.
Goto Mari put away the lunch box and walked to the window. After just one glance, a hint of surprise appeared on her face.
"It seems to be the boy from yesterday?"
At that time, the distance was quite far, and because she was struggling from drowning, Goto Mari couldn't actually see the other person's face clearly, but with her height, it was easy to confirm.
Because the man who saved her was the tallest person she had ever seen.
"If I were a physical education teacher, I wouldn't pretend to have a stomachache and skip class in the future!"
"Maybe he's a health teacher?"
"That's it, then I will definitely skip classes more often!"
"More handsome than those boy band idols on TV!"
A group of female high school students were talking a lot.
Lin Baici's appearance was already very good at hunting. After becoming a god hunter, he became rich, status and powerful. The combination of these conditions allowed Lin Baici to develop a very charming temperament.
Mature, confident, strong, noble...
Compared with those young ordinary high school students, their temperament is directly crushed!
It's strange that these female high school students are not confused.
Goto Mari immediately ran out to say thank you.
However, after leaving the teaching building, she did not go to Lin Baici immediately. Instead, she followed the direction Lin Baici walked and went to guard the front.
Because she doesn't want to be watched.
After waiting for about seven or eight minutes, the young man came, but there were three more girls beside him.
Goto Mari knew them as a female gangster in the third grade of school.
…
Lin Bai resigned and became numb.
I never thought in my life that I would be entangled by three female high school students.
He was fishing for Mari Goto, but who knew it was these three people who came.
There is a language barrier between the two parties, but the three high school girls are very enthusiastic and communicate with each other with gestures.
At this moment, Lin Baici's stomach growled. He immediately turned his head and scanned around, and then found half of his head exposed behind the corner of the west downstairs.
It's that Sakura girl.
"Should I smile? Or pretend I didn't see it?"
Lin Baici was still struggling, but a female gangster with dyed yellow hair had already seen Goto Mari and glared at her.
The meaning is very simple, don't come here, get out of here!
Of course Lin Baici noticed this episode and wanted to slap the female gangster away.
You scared my prey away, what should I do?
Lin Baici took out his wallet, took three 10,000 yen notes, handed them to the three girls, and then walked away quickly.
The three female gangsters were stunned and looked at each other, unable to figure out what Lin Baici meant, but they could clearly feel that the handsome guy did not want to talk to them.
This is……
Breakup fee?
How generous!
Mari Goto was not the kind of shy and weak girl. When she saw Lin Baici alone, she took a few deep breaths and ran over.
"Thank you!"
Mari Goto rushed to Lin Baici and bowed directly at 90 degrees.
"Are you okay?"
Lin Baici smiled, and even in order to increase his favorability, he activated the Sanskrit Buddha sound to make his voice more magnetic and pleasant.
Sure enough, when Goto Mari heard Lin Baici's voice, she immediately felt very comfortable. When she looked up, she saw a handsome face smiling at her.
It's as warm as the morning sunshine in spring.
"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine now!"
He asked me if I was okay?
He recognized me!
Goto Mari breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little happy.
"Rescuing people is a very brave act, especially when you are a little girl, it is even more worthy of praise!"
Lin Baici immediately praised and blew a rainbow fart: "But you have to do what you can!"
"If something happens to you, your family will definitely be very sad!"
"I know, I will pay attention next time!"
Goto Mari thought this big brother was really nice. After she finished speaking, she felt a little stuck.
She didn't communicate much with boys on weekdays, but now she met a handsome guy, a foreigner, and she didn't know what to say.
"I'm here for a trip. I've always been interested in your campus culture, so I came in to take a look!"
Lin Baici smiled: "I got the consent of the security guard and came in at the right time. Please don't get me wrong and report it to the teacher!"
"No, no!"
Mari Goto waved her hands quickly.
Ding dong!
The class bell rang.
Mari Goto was anxious: "Can you wait until I get out of school? I want to treat you to dinner?"
"By the way, if you have time in the afternoon, I can accompany you to visit the campus?"
"Is that the school bell?"
Lin Baici looked at his watch: "You go to class first!"
"Be a good student!"
Goto Mari didn't get a reply from Lin Baici, and couldn't wait any longer, so she could only run back to the classroom.
In the first class, Mari Goto was absent-minded.
After finally staying up until the end of get out of class, she hurried out of the classroom and looked for Lin Baici, but after looking around, she couldn't find him.
This disappointed her.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the school bell rang.
Mari Goto is the manager of the baseball club, and she usually goes there to help, but today, she asked her friend to take a leave of absence for her, and then wandered around the campus.
After going around in a circle, I still found nothing.
Just when Goto Mari was feeling lost, she suddenly remembered that she could see far from the rooftop and she could go up there and overlook the campus!
Mari Goto immediately rushed into the teaching building and ran to the rooftop.
After panting and opening the iron door leading to the rooftop, Goto Mari found that the handsome guy was pressing his arms on the railing, watching the baseball club training on the playground.
"Actually here?"
Mari Goto quickly adjusted her breathing and walked over.
