Chen Ziang actually doesn't want to take a vacation.
It's not that he is always eager to serve the people, but that he now urgently needs to collect more fire.
To him, fire originally meant being stronger, more agile, and smarter. But as the mysterious "Secret Realm of the Lord of the Deep Sea" was opened to him, Chen Ziang has now realized that the true value of fire may be far away.
It's much more than that.
If fire can be exchanged for the "dream walking" ability, then somewhere else, there must be more, more powerful abilities that can be exchanged for fire.
Improving his physical fitness will only help him perform tasks better. But if he can obtain more magical powers, it may mean that these precious fire seeds can be used...
...save his sister.
When the two of them left the unit, it was during the evening rush hour after get off work, and the interregional light rail car was packed as hot and stuffy as a sardine can.
Tsukimiya Suzuna pretended to be squeezed by the crowd and shrank into Chen Ziang's arms, then raised her head and blinked her big eyes.
"Senior, it's so crowded." She pretended to complain.
Because the two of them were so close, whenever Suzuna Tsukinomiya spoke, her sweet and fragrant breath would penetrate Chen Ziang's neck.
Chen Ziang turned his head uncomfortably, blocked the breath full of youth and hormones with his collar, and asked tentatively:
"Speaking of which, Moon Palace, why do you have to come to visit today?"
"Because I want to see my sister-chan." Tsukimiya Suzuna said casually.
"Sister?" Chen Ziang was stunned for a moment, "Have I ever told you that I have a sister at home?"
"Ah, no." Although Tsukimiya Suzuna knew she had made a mistake, her reaction was very quick, "I heard what Senior Lu said. After all, I am the only daughter in the family, and I have wanted to have a younger sister since I was a child, so...
I care a little bit haha.”
She gently curled the ends of her hair with her fingers and lowered her head in embarrassment, showing the look of a shy and innocent little daughter.
"Are Lu Yunfeng familiar with you?" Chen Ziang asked in surprise.
"I'm not very familiar with him either." Tsukimiya Suzuna quickly explained, "I heard him talk to other seniors when he was passing by the corridor next to his work station."
"Moon Palace." Chen Zi'ang felt that he needed to ask clearly, so he carefully considered his words and asked cautiously, "Although it is a bit presumptuous to ask this, but... why are you designated to be paired with my master and apprentice?"
"Because I think senior is very powerful." Tsukimiya Suzuna said with admiration, "I want to learn more business knowledge from senior."
Her posture was graceful, her expression was calm, and her tone was quite sincere, but this did not dispel Chen Ziang's wariness.
Because he had a very secret, unreasonable intuition: the way this beautiful girl looked at him did not look like a look of admiration for a senior, nor was it a look of love at first sight, but a very complicated one that seemed to have something indescribable.
The look of nostalgia.
For example, it's like a childhood sweetheart from the past who finally reunites after a long separation, but because the other person doesn't recognize you, it's hard to reveal your identity for the time being.
As a front-line operator who has been fighting mysterious things all year round, Chen Ziang trusts his intuition very much, but the problem is that as a time traveler, his memories from childhood to adulthood are very clear.
I don't have any childhood sweethearts, nor any childhood friends. It is indeed the first time I met Tsukimiya Suzuna today, and I have definitely never seen her before.
He carefully looked at Suzuna Tsukinomiya. The girl was looking at the scene speeding past outside the carriage, revealing her delicate and perfect profile.
Under her long, curved eyelashes, there are big bright eyes. No wonder it is often said that "the beauty of a woman lies first in her eyebrows". It is this pair of eyes that can talk and shine, as beautiful as the stars.
It's enough to impress any man.
Well, I've definitely never seen it before.
Chen Ziang shook his head and dispelled the strange intuition from his mind.
"What are you thinking about, senior?" Tsukimiya Suzuna suddenly asked.
She had noticed that Chen Zi'ang was staring at her just now, and she felt a little excited in her heart, as if she had discovered a little oriole bird with buds on the willow tree, and began to sing happily for the coming spring.
But Chen Ziang quickly looked away, and the oriole in her heart retracted into the tree hole in disappointment.
"I didn't think anything of it." Chen Ziang shook his head and said.
It was obvious that he was just perfunctory... Tsukimiya Suzuna looked out the window again, feeling her mood slowly darken.
Of course she knew that the relationship between her seniors at this point in time was just that of unfamiliar seniors and seniors whom she was not familiar with, so of course it was impossible to have a deep and superficial relationship with them.
Relationships need to be gradual, and rashly closing the distance will only make the other party feel uncomfortable. Although beautiful girls have a natural advantage in this aspect, they have little effect on men with the character of their predecessors.
You still have to take your time, just...
Just like a drowning and suffocating person longs for breath, and a drowned person longs for light, I have been waiting for too long, too long...
"Then senior, do you know what I'm thinking?" After a moment, Tsukimiya Suzuna asked with a smile.
"Uh, what are you thinking about, Moon Palace?"
"I'm thinking," Tsukimiya Suzuna said seriously, "What kind of person is your senior?"
Chen Ziang didn't know how to answer, so he could only laugh.
"Well, the master and apprentice are already paired up anyway. We will have the opportunity to get to know each other in the future." Tsukimiya Suzuna also showed a cute and bright smile, "Please give me more advice in the future, senior."
————————
Chen Ziang's residence is located at No. 126 Tonegawa Road, Kiryu Street, Gunma District. It is a two-story small building with a yard.
Since his parents passed away very early, now only he and his sister Chen Xiaozhu live in Chen Ziang's home.
Tsukimiya Suzuna was still nagging her, "Do you want to buy some gifts for your sister?", but Chen Ziang refused:
"No need to prepare gifts, she won't accept them."
"Why won't you accept it?" Tsukimiya Suzuna asked strangely, "Anyway, this is my first time meeting my sister-chan, so according to etiquette, I should prepare a meeting gift..."
As Chen Ziang opened the door, her eyes passed through the entrance of the house and fell on Chen Xiaozhu, who was sitting quietly in the living room, and the words in her throat stopped abruptly.
I saw Chen Xiaozhu sitting on the rocking chair, his delicate little face turning around according to the sound, but his eyes were empty, focusing on an invisible distance.
"Because my sister had a high fever when she was very young." Chen Ziang replied, "She lost her eyesight permanently and also suffered from autism."
Tsukimiya Suzuna looked at her blankly.
Gradually, two lines of clear tears slid down her pretty face.
