The golden ship excitedly handed over the conch shell, its pink eyes shining frighteningly bright.

"I refuse, don't touch me."

McQueen coldly pushed the conch shell away.

"Ugh—McQueen, you're so boring—"

The golden ship looked disappointed, its silver horse ears drooping.

But the next second, she regained her composure.

"Oh, right! I just found an amazing rock in the sea!"

She took a dusty gray stone out of her pocket and solemnly showed it to everyone.

"Its shape is remarkably like an emperor's face!"

The Emperor of the East Sea raised his head, a hint of confusion flashing in his blue eyes.

It was just an ordinary oval stone with a few irregular lines on its surface.

He bears no resemblance whatsoever to the Emperor of the East Sea.

"Ship, I think you might need to get your eyes checked."

"What! It looks just like it! Look, here's the eye, here's the nose—"

"That's enough, I don't want to listen to aliens anymore."

McQueen covered his face in exasperation.

The Emperor of the East Sea smiled and shook his head, as if he wanted to say something.

On the other side, Kitcho, carrying a plate, sat in a spot where he could see Riko Kashimoto.

While eating, she discreetly observed the situation on the trainers' side.

Riko Kashimoto's face grew paler and paler.

She eats very slowly, and her hands tremble slightly when she picks up food.

Ji Zhao's blue eyes narrowed slightly.

She also noticed something else.

At some point, Lingzuan Qibao sat down next to Poetry and Wine.

The two were very close, their shoulders almost touching.

The lights in the cafeteria are a warm yellow.

The light fell onto the silver-gray hair of the diamond-studded gemstone, giving the soft, long hair a faint golden edge.

Her ears swayed merrily, occasionally brushing against Poetry and Wine's shoulder.

"—And that seashell was absolutely gorgeous! It had so many stripes on it!"

Diamond Treasure was excitedly recounting her afternoon seashell-collecting adventures, her silver-gray horse ears swaying back and forth in rhythm with her speech.

When she gets excited, she unconsciously leans close to Poetry and Wine's ear.

Warm breaths brushed against the ears of poetry and wine.

Poetry and wine's expressions were somewhat stiff.

Diamond Treasure has a very pleasant smell.

It smells like fresh shampoo, mixed with the scent of sea breeze and sunshine.

The aura grew clearer as she drew closer, making the poetic and wine-loving thoughts somewhat hazy.

She should have stayed away.

But she didn't.

Even when the diamond treasures came closer, her body would unconsciously tilt slightly in that direction, as if being pulled by some invisible force.

"Little Jiu, what's that in your pocket?"

Suddenly, Diamond Treasure stopped its chattering and its light green eyes curiously fell on Poetry and Wine's coat.

Poetry and Wine glanced down.

Her coat pocket bulged slightly, forming an irregular arc.

That was the outline of the seashell from that afternoon.

"...The one you gave me."

The sounds of poetry and wine carried a hint of barely perceptible unease.

"Do you always carry it with you?"

Diamond Treasure's eyes lit up instantly.

"I just forgot to take it out."

Poetry and wine should keep their distance, refusing to look at those overly bright, light green eyes.

"But you didn't throw it away!"

Lingzuan Qibao said happily, leaning closer to the poetry and wine.

Her shoulder rested against the arm of Poetry and Wine, soft and warm.

A wave of heat, making one's heart race, emanated through the thin fabric.

Her long, silver-gray hair swayed gently with her movements, the ends brushing against the sleeves of her poetry and wine robes.

"Little Jiu really cherishes the gifts I give her."

Her tone was filled with undisguised smugness, as if she had discovered something extraordinary.

"You think too much."

The sounds of poetry and wine were somewhat stiff.

She felt her ear tips getting hot.

It's not because it's too hot in the cafeteria.

In fact, the nights at the beach are quite cool, and the air conditioning in the cafeteria is on.

The buzz comes from elsewhere.

But poetry and wine were not spared.

She could even feel the warmth of the diamond-encrusted treasure's arm seeping into her through her clothes.

My heart is racing.

"A little wine."

Diamond Treasure suddenly lowered her voice.

Her face was very close.

Up close, I could see the subtle changes in the light in her light green eyes, which reflected the somewhat stiff face of Shi Yujiu.

Her breath, as she spoke, warmly brushed against Shi Yujiu's cheeks.

Poetry and wine instinctively wanted to retreat.

But his body felt frozen in place, unable to move at all.

You look better today than yesterday.

Lingzuan Qibao spoke earnestly, his gaze carefully sweeping over Shi Yujiu's face.

As if examining a precious work of art, her gaze moved from the eyes of poetry and wine to the cheeks, then from the cheeks to the lips, and finally settled on the lines of the chin.

"is it?"

The sounds of poetry and wine are somewhat dry.

"Hmm. The dark circles under my eyes have faded a bit, and my complexion isn't as pale anymore."

Diamond Treasure reached out and touched the corner of Poetry and Wine's eye with her fingertip.

"Do you feel less uncomfortable now?"

Poetry and Wine paused for a moment.

The black-haired girl subconsciously stroked her chin, pondering for a moment.

She reflected on how she felt throughout the day.

When she woke up in the morning, the dull pain that felt like someone was grinding in her bones had lessened considerably, at least enough that she wouldn't want to stay in bed as soon as she opened her eyes.

My legs felt a bit lighter when I walked on the beach in the afternoon.

Now, when I sit here to eat, the pain in my back and shoulders is much better than before.

It is indeed recovering.

Does this mean that the deaths we owed can be wiped out immediately?

However, Diamond Treasure noticed these subtle changes at a glance.

"You've been observing me?"

Poetry and wine asked curiously.

Of course.

Diamond Treasure said matter-of-factly, its silver-gray horse ears twitching slightly.

"Because Xiao Jiu is a very important person to me. I know about every change in you."

The blue and white figure being pursued is called Miracle: Chapter 110 Hehe, I want to see something exciting (Third update)

"That's a strange thing to say."

The sounds of poetry and wine became somewhat stiff.

"What's weird?"

Diamond Treasure tilted her head, and her long, silver-gray hair slipped down to one side of her shoulder, revealing her fair neck.

The action looked innocent, but Poetry and Wine felt that she must have done it on purpose.

"never mind."

Poetry and Wine angrily turned their heads away, no longer looking at the face that was too close.

The tips of her ears were bright red.

Under the light, the red color was particularly noticeable, spreading from the tip of the ear all the way to the auricle, and even the neck was tinged with a light pink.

She tried to maintain a blank expression, but her hand holding the chopsticks tightened slightly, her knuckles turning white.

Looking at her profile, Lingzuan Qibao subtly curled up a small smile.

She didn't say anything, but silently moved closer to the poetry and wine area.

Shoulder to shoulder.

Arm to arm.

The distance between the two was even closer than before.

After dinner, everyone left the cafeteria one after another.

The trainers also stood up, preparing to return to their dormitories to rest.

When Poetry and Wine stood up, they found that their legs were indeed not as uncomfortable as before.

After walking for a while, my knees and calves would always feel heavy, as if I had sandbags tied to them.

But after spending the whole day on the beach today, that feeling actually lessened a lot.

Her body is recovering, faster than she expected.

She moved her ankle to make sure there was no discomfort.

Riko Kashimoto also stood up.
