He accidentally bumped into the witch while flying on his sword.

By the time he got closer, Tie Niu had already hidden more than ten meters away.

"Brother, we're all family! Putting everything else aside, feel free to take and use whatever you need from my shop! I won't charge you a single penny!"

After saying that, Tie Niu fled the terrifying beach at a speed that was clearly beyond his physical capabilities.

They escaped from that terrifyingly cute girl.

But the painful memories lingered in my mind and wouldn't go away.

I thought I had forgotten about it seven years ago.

It turns out... it had always been hidden deep in my memory!

“Dad…” A fair-skinned, chubby boy ran out of the hotel and happily hugged Tie Niu’s leg.

He patted his son's head and sighed deeply.

Let's just make do with this life...

……

……

Chen Shun didn't know what had happened, why the other person had suddenly made a complete 360-degree change in attitude.

Perhaps it was that little witch around my neck who secretly used some kind of magic on me again.

"Rui, are you alright?"

"No...it's nothing." Wang Rui was the most confused one.

That burly, dark-skinned man who was three times his size actually called him "brother"!

"Shun-ge'er, I'm still a bit dazed."

"Don't overthink it. Since they're willing to be your brother, what are you waiting for?"

"What do you mean?"

"Doesn't his family run a hotel? Let's go borrow some good stuff!" Chen Shun's eyes were sparkling.

He saw a diving suit displayed outside the hotel.

Yun Yi's big, watery eyes were also searching.

But she couldn't find a diving suit that fit her current body shape.

Oh no, our plan to go diving with everyone (mainly Chen Shun) is ruined...

Although she doesn't need any protection, she can only sneak off to dive late at night when everyone is quiet...

……

Zhang Chi, who was a step slower, led the remaining boys to rush over.

Even Xiao Di pulled out a baseball bat from somewhere, leaving a long trail of sand behind him, making him look quite like a delinquent, creating a strong sense of contrast.

At that moment, everyone had only one thought in their minds.

Xiao Di is a good person to get along with; she's really there for you when something's wrong.

Zhang Chi looked around but didn't see Tie Niu. He asked in confusion:

"Shun-ge'er, where's that big black guy?"

"Oh, he just acknowledged Wang Rui as his older brother and even said he'd lend us everything in the store!"

"Brother Rui, is it true?" Everyone was shocked.

"Really...really? Anyway, that's what he just said," Wang Rui replied hesitantly.

He hadn't even recovered from the shock he'd just experienced.

I only vaguely remember that my newly added younger brother was terrified by the class monitor's slap.

He tried to glean some clues from Chen Shun and the class monitor's expressions, but the two seemed to be used to it and were perfectly normal at the moment.

They couldn't detect even the slightest abnormality.

Forget about it, I have such a good relationship with Shun-ge.

“They probably aren’t bluffing us, Chi. Why don’t you try borrowing one?” Wang Rui tried to persuade Zhang Chi to be the guinea pig for the experiment.

Although Zhang Chi understood Wang Rui's ulterior motives, he also thought that the conflict just now was related to him, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.

He steeled himself and headed towards the hotel.

At the entrance of "Tie Niu Travel Rental Shop," there are several brightly colored surfboards, each marked with rental and purchase prices.

Zhang Chi decided to borrow a surfboard to try it out first.

"Boss!" he raised his voice.

"What are you doing! Want to borrow or buy? If you don't want to borrow or buy, don't touch it! If you touch it, you have to pay!" Tie Niu walked out of the store with a stern face.

"Boss, my buddy, the one over there, said you let us borrow things for free, right?"

Only when Zhang Chi stood in front of that burly, dark-skinned man could he truly feel the oppressive atmosphere.

But the boss, who had just been looking annoyed, immediately brightened up when he saw Wang Rui being pointed at.

Zhang Chi was naturally unaware that the boss's change in attitude was not because of Wang Rui, but because of the little girl riding on Chen Shun's shoulders, smiling brightly.

"Hey, you should have said so earlier! We're all brothers, my brother's brothers are my brothers too! If you need anything, just take it. You don't have to pay for it if you break it!" Tie Niu patted his chest loudly.

The sight of those muscular ripples sent a shiver down Zhang Chi's spine.

"Then... shall I borrow a surfboard first?" he asked tentatively.

"Here you go!" Tie Niu immediately grabbed the one with the highest price tag and stuffed it into Zhang Chi's arms.

He initially intended to send him away like that, but then he bent down and took several more boards until Zhang Chi could no longer carry them.

"I see there are quite a lot of you, so you can have all of these!"

"...Thank you, boss."

"You're welcome... Send them all, buddy!" Tie Niu patted Zhang Chi's shoulder lightly, and the latter felt a burning pain.

……

……

Amidst the incredulous gazes of the crowd, Zhang Chi returned to the beach carrying a small pile of surfboards.

"Stop staring at it, come help me, this thing is so heavy..."

"So it's true? You really borrowed it? You didn't secretly pay to rent it, did you?" Zhang Ze frowned.

"Does your dad look like he'd rent you this kind of thing?" Zhang Chi gave Zhang Ze the middle finger.

"It seems so."

"Don't let the boss's fierce appearance fool you, he's actually a very honest person!" Zhang Chi said excitedly. "He only gave me one yuan at first, but when he saw so many of us, he immediately added this much more!"

"Hehe..." Only Wang Rui knew what kind of person that boss really was.

It can only be said that although the class monitor has become smaller, he still suppresses them completely.

The boys, having received their surfboards, could no longer contain their excitement. They each picked one and rushed into the sea, only to be tossed about by the waves and left in disarray.

Yun Yi directed Chen Shun back to the parasol, and the two of them played in the sand together.

Looking at the little witch who was engrossed in the activity, her face covered in sand, Chen Shun couldn't help but tease her:

"You playing this doesn't seem out of place at all."

"Heh, I wonder who has a magical girl transformation wand in their bag, bringing something like that on a trip to play with?"

"Actually... it was prepared for you."

"Hmph, I almost believed it."

……

"What is that thing you're sculpting?" Chen Shun asked curiously, seeing the little witch's sand sculpture, which had finally taken shape after working hard for half an hour.

After all, she built a round sand dune.

I won't tell you~

"..."

……

"You've carved a pig's head?"

"No, it's you that's being carved."

With a soft "plop," Chen Shun pretended to be careless, tilted his body, and destroyed the pig's head statue.

Yun Yi wiped the sweat from her face with the back of her hand, glaring at him with a stern expression.

"You killed my boyfriend."

"Then I'll buy you a new one."

……

The two of them dug in the sand together.

This time, Yunyi said he wanted to carve a castle.

"I'm a witch, so it's perfectly reasonable for me to live in a castle, isn't it?"

"what about me?"

"I'll carve a pigsty for you, and you can be my pig herder."

"Do you know what 'pig herder' means?" Chen Shun stopped what he was doing and asked.

"Of course I know! They raise piglets!" Yun Yi replied absentmindedly.

It took ten seconds before I realized it.

"Stop looking! I could never be your little pig!"

She scooped up a small handful of wet, sticky sand and threw it at the annoying Chen Shun's face.
