Swing the sword at the future female devil

Chapter 233 You are my exclusive memory
Seeing that the girl liked the otter so much, Duan Huaige couldn't help but remind her: "You can put the food a little further back, so that there can be more interaction."

However, the always well-behaved little social phobia did not listen to Duan Huaige's words. Instead, he shook his head and smiled gently, "This is not good. There are still many people waiting behind."

As she spoke, she fed the food in her hand to the Laughing Otter who had been reaching out to grab food, and then reluctantly pulled Duan Huaige up and left. Duan Huaige saw the girl's reluctance and pulled Xie Cangling:
"Let's line up again." Duan Huaige said seriously: "Seeing you feeding so happily, I also want to experience it."

Xie Cangling's beautiful almond-shaped eyes were filled with surprise.

"Really?"

"It's fake." Duan Huaige said unhappily, "You don't think I can't see that you really want to play it again, do you?"

"Xiao Xie, please be generous and sincere when you go out to play. If you like something, look at it more times. This is your right."

She asked cautiously, "But... won't you feel bored?"

"Of course I will. So please stop staring at the otter while you're waiting in line and chat with me instead."

Xiao Shekong lowered his head a little embarrassedly, and finally mustered up the courage to raise his little face and said: "Huai Ge classmate, I want to feed you again, can I?"

Duan Huaige smiled and nodded.

"of course can."

They returned to the end of the line. There were many couples and families visiting the aquarium on weekends. As the Otter Park is a popular tourist attraction, there was naturally a long queue.

This time, the obedient Xiao Xie gently pulled Duan Huaige's clothes and told him about the habits of otters and some scientific knowledge with gentle and graceful eyes. Duan Huaige quietly appreciated the girl's cute look with a little excitement, and seemed to feel that he had re-acquainted himself with this gentle and timid little socially anxious person.

It turns out that Xiao Xie also has a talkative side. But generally speaking, when dating a girl, it seems that it is the boys who are the ones who talk endlessly and show off themselves, right?
After a long wait, it was finally Duan Huaige and his partner's turn. Xiao Xie pushed Duan Huaige from behind and blinked, signaling him to feel it first.

Duan Huaige said that a tough guy like me would never be won over by this little thing's cuteness.

Not long after, Duan Huaige put the snacks far away and couldn't help laughing at the cute look of the little otter stretching out its claws to scratch the food.

You know what, it’s really fun to feel the soft little claws scratching the palm of your hand.

The two left the Otter Park reluctantly and headed towards their next destination. They saw tropical fish, fed the nodding little penguins, watched the killer whale show, and finally walked into the deep blue underwater tunnel.

Deep blue waves flow on the curved glass, schools of golden trevally pass through the dome like liquid meteors, fragments of light refracted by silver scales dance in the pupils, and the spread wings of stingrays cast flowing shadows, like ink blown away by the wind.

Under the impact of such a spectacular scene, most people could only cover their mouths and stare blankly at the scenery in front of them.

When the tiger shark swam past the glass, Xie Cangling subconsciously took a step back and stretched out her hand as if wanting to grab something. At this moment, a hand reached out and held hers. What was transmitted from the palm of her hand was not only the boy's body temperature, but also the overlapping heartbeats of the two.

She turned her head to look at Duan Huaige. A swarm of jellyfish was floating overhead. Among the billions of glowing water droplets, what was reflected in his eyes was not only the dark blue secret realm, but also the red corners of the girl's eyes.

"Why are you crying?" Duan Huaige raised his eyebrows and asked.

Xie Cangling wiped the corners of his eyes and smiled with tears in his eyes.

"I didn't cry. I was just so happy."

Perhaps happy times are always extremely short. Although they both slowed down their pace intentionally, the huge aquarium was still filled with their footprints. They touched dolphins together, ate in the theme restaurant of the underwater tunnel, and watched the sea lion show together.

Duan Huaige noticed some of the girl's little thoughts, but he did not ask questions immediately, but accompanied her patiently. When they walked out of the aquarium, the sky had gradually darkened. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Duan Huaige handed Xiao Xie an ice cream. Xie Cangling licked it in small sips. Both of them realized that they were about to part, and no one spoke to break the silence.

Finally, Xiao Shekong glanced at the melting ice cream and said softly, "When my mother passed away, the last place she took me to was the aquarium."

"At that time, she also bought me an ice cream."

Duan Huaige's heart trembled violently when he heard this, and self-blame surged in his heart.

So this is the reason why Xiao Xie’s father’s face changed at that time?
Damn it, I should have asked and changed the place earlier.

Duan Huaige said apologetically: "I'm sorry Cang Ling, I made you think of sad things."

"It's none of your business, Huaige." Xiao Xie shook his head and said, "Actually, I haven't been to the aquarium since my mother left. My father and grandfather were afraid that I would remember it, so they always avoided this place, as if there was some kind of taboo."

"But it's not like that." Xie Cangling said softly, "This is where my mother and I had our last memories. How could I not like it?"

"Then I thought, maybe it's not me who is afraid, but they themselves are afraid. Adults will also be afraid and have many taboos. In order not to scare them, I have to pretend that I don't like it."

Duan Huaige was silent for a moment. He finally understood why Xie Laodeng had such a strange expression at that time, and why little Xie was so familiar with this place.

He didn't say much, just nodded and suddenly asked, "Have you finished your ice cream?"

"Not yet...what's wrong?"

"Let's eat next time." Duan Huaige said with a smile in his eyes: "Your father originally asked me to send you home before nine o'clock, but it seems that I will disappoint him again today."

"Come on, I'll take you to see the sunset!"

"Now?"

"Yes, right now!"

Duan Huaige stretched out her hand to Xie Cangling. The girl looked at the boy's face without any hesitation in her heart and placed her little hand on it.

The small electric scooter sped towards the winding mountain road. The setting sun was getting farther and farther away. When the last ray of afterglow was about to fall below the horizon, a flying boat carrying two people suddenly flew up from the mountains, chasing the stars and the moon, heading towards the setting sun that should have been silent.

If he were in a rational state, Duan Huaige would definitely scold himself for being a prodigal son who burned spirit stones and drove a flying boat to chase the sunset, but now he didn't care about spirit stones, or even whether Xie Laodeng would get angry and make the forgiveness task, which was originally a natural task, more difficult.

He looked at the girl with bright eyes sitting next to him, and the faint smile on the girl's cheek. For him now, all he needed to do was to keep this smile for a while longer.

Even if it's just for a little while.
