My second life is a bit strange?

Chapter 107 Past Days Like a Dream

More than half an hour later, Kaede and Hayasaka finally emerged from the cave, the atmosphere somewhat awkward.

"Ah Feng~" Qianhua waved to them while holding an ice cream cone.

"Where did you go?" Chika asked, licking the melted cream with her tongue.

"We went for a walk."

"We are looking for seashells."

The two gave different answers at the same time, and Hayasaka quickly explained, "We were taking a walk and looking for seashells."

Chika suddenly reached out and pinched Hayasaka's neck: "What is this? It's white, like dead skin."

As she spoke, she rubbed it with her hands, and it felt gritty, somewhat like sand.

"It's probably some spray from the waves that landed on my neck, and it got a little sand on it." Hayasaka didn't even believe her own words, and quickly wiped the marks off her neck, blushing.

Take out your phone and point it at yourself to see if there are any other images.

"Oh, I see. Everyone's playing banana boat, but I'm too scared to do it alone, so I came to find you guys. I've been looking for you for a while now. Let's go."

He then took Feng's hand and eagerly headed towards the beach, while Hayasaka followed behind, gently pinching his waist with her hand.

The roar of an engine came from afar, and a jet ski pulling a small, semi-circular boat sped toward the shore, making a sharp turn and splashing water.

Sitting on the boat were Kaguya, Eriri, and Kei. Eriri had her eyes tightly shut and was gripping the handrail tightly, afraid of falling off. She screamed with her mouth wide open. Kaguya held Kei's hand and took good care of her. Kei, on the other hand, was having a great time and had a smile on her face.

"This is so exciting! Let's hurry and line up!"

Chika quickly finished her ice cream, grabbed him, and ran away. When they arrived, Eriri squatted down on the ground, her face pale and muttering something under her breath.

Is it fun?

"That sounds fun!" Xiao Gui rushed over and grabbed his arm. "Brother, you should try it too."

"Okay~" Feng pinched her cheek and followed Chika onto the boat. She wanted to sit in the middle, but Hayasaka asked to move to the right side.

After fastening the seatbelts, the driver checked everything before starting the engine. The boat immediately began to vibrate, and Qianhua nervously gripped his hand.

He understood why Hayasaka had changed positions; Chika's hand was the one that held the ice cream cone, and it was probably because the ice cream had melted and stuck to her hand, making it a little sticky.

The boat suddenly accelerated, and I leaned back against my seat, only to be hit by a wave and the boat rocked.

Chika shouted excitedly and wandered around for a long time before returning to the shore. Chika pressed her hand to her chest to catch her breath: "I can't go on, my voice will go hoarse if I keep shouting."

"Go get some drinks."

Shizhi pulled Shishang along, while Xiaoyi pushed from behind, also wanting to get on the boat.

"Isn't this too dangerous?" Ishigami began to have second thoughts.

"It's okay, there are life jackets here. If you fall off the rock, I'll be the first to rush down and save you." Koichi flashed his white teeth and gave him a thumbs up.

Ishigami was forced to put on a life jacket.

Is it possible that the danger I'm referring to is the two of you?

The sound of the diesel engine made Ishigami's heart race. The boat sailed into the distance, and the two-meter-long rope tightened, pulling them across the sea.

The sensation of the wind whistling past their ears made their blood boil: "Whoosh!! Faster!!"

The driver floored the accelerator, floored it, and drove in a wide arc toward the shore.

Just as Shizhi was enjoying himself, a group of flying fish suddenly emerged from the sea, their tiny wings fluttering and shimmering in the solar system. They darted past him and flicked his tail, giving him a slap.

Startled, he immediately let go of the handle and used it to shield himself. Because of the seawater, the ground was slippery, and he lost his footing and fell headfirst into the sea. Perhaps he was going too fast, skipping stones like a stone skipping across the water, and finally gliding across the surface of the sea in a bizarre posture.

It just so happened to run ashore and plunged headfirst into the sandcastle that Xiao Gui had built.

(King Yama: What flashed at the door?)

Feng pulled him out of the sand.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!" Shizhi spat out sand in a disheveled manner, his lips still trembling. After a check-up, he was lucky to have only suffered some scratches.

"You need to be careful, buddy."

Shizhi was both amused and exasperated, wiping his wounds with alcohol. Why was he so unlucky?

After reaching the shore, Shi Shang also rushed over, his face equally pale. It was terrifying that such a large person next to him had suddenly disappeared.

"Hey, thankfully nothing bad happened." Feng took the towel Eriri handed him and wiped the sand off his face. "I brought you guys out to play, so I have to be responsible for your safety. Just be careful from now on."

"understood."

Feng sighed again, hoping he had really taken it to heart, patted him on the shoulder, and left.

...

There was no moon tonight, and the stars were exceptionally bright. After finishing dinner, Feng took a walk on the beach to digest his food and happened to run into Ishigami.

"President, Eriri-senpai seems to be looking for you."

It's strange, I haven't seen her much today.

"Really? I'll go take a look."

Watching Feng leave, Ishigami smiled, a smile of success on his face.

When Kaede arrived at Eriri's place, she found the door open, with an easel and a chair placed in front of it.

The canvas is woven with warm sunshine and a beautiful beach. The figures are painted in great detail, but there are no faces.

Kaede walked into the house and saw Eriri sitting on the rooftop on the second-floor balcony. She was hugging her knees, staring blankly at the sky, her phone playing a sad song. She seemed lost in thought and didn't even notice his arrival.

Can I go up?

She only came to her senses when she heard the voice. Looking at him, her eyes were full of confusion. She didn't know why Feng would suddenly come to find her. She quickly wiped away her tears with the back of her hand.

"of course."

Feng climbed the ladder to the roof and sat cross-legged beside her: "The night is so beautiful tonight."

"Yes."

"What are you thinking about?"

"I think I had a very long dream. I dreamt that there was a boy who was very capable, a little childish, and very gentle and kind to me."

(I have a strange feeling)

We played together, slept together, went to school together, did everything together, but then everything changed, and the nightmare began.

He was stolen away by my best friend.

In the end, he still came back.

(Love that is lost and then regained is sweeter)

We only had each other; we grew up, got together, got married, and had children.

(I'm not fantasizing, don't wake me up)

Eriri couldn't help but shed tears; she so wished it wasn't a dream.

"Yinglili..."

Chapter 108 The Summer That Quietly Departed

"After all these years, our relationship hasn't progressed any further. Are we destined to be just childhood sweethearts?"

Why does my nose feel so sore?

Why are my eyes filled with tears?

Eriri looked at Kaede with tears in her eyes, her figure becoming blurry.

"Actually, I hinted at this to you a long time ago."

"what?"

"Do you remember what I said back then, what Song Xiaojun said?"

(Chapter 10)

“…What?” Eriri remembered, it was after school that day.

Feng didn't explain, but instead searched out the original words and showed them to her.

There aren't many beautiful things in the world, like the wind blowing from the other side of the river on an autumn evening and your irresistible laughter.

That last half-sentence completely shattered Eriri's defenses. Tears streamed down her face, her fingers clenched so tightly they turned white. If she had noticed earlier, would the ending have been different?

"Okay, don't cry." Feng carefully wiped away her tears and said gently, "I wasn't taken away by anyone. I've always been here."

Eriri sniffled, clutching Kaede's clothes, and complained, "Who would understand if I said it so vaguely..."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you were too young back then, I didn't dare to say it directly."

Eriri regained her composure, took his hand, and mumbled, "I've made up my mind."

"what?"

The girl closed her eyes and slightly pouted, as if waiting for something.

Feng bent down and pressed his mark on it, leaving his imprint.

This kiss was devoid of any other thoughts, only love. (Don't wake me I'm not dreaming)

As the song ended, their lips parted, they looked at each other, and the two of them snuggled together and talked for a long, long time.

Most of them complained about him.

"So, does that mean you confessed to me back in seventh grade, you lolicon!"

"It's like you're not anymore."

"I'm not a loli!!" Eriri angrily left a bite mark on his arm.

"Then tell me, when did you start liking me?"
