I loaded the dream game

Xia Zhi took the opportunity to hug her gently.

At this evening time, the setting sun shines through the window, casting a hazy twilight over everything in the living room, adding a somewhat dreamy and unreal feeling.

Holding the girl's soft body in his arms, listening to the sounds of cooking coming from the kitchen and the sound of the news broadcast on TV at just the right volume, everything was so comfortable that Xia Zhi couldn't help but feel a little sleepy...

however……

"A few short messages"

"A major smuggling case was recently uncovered in China, with the amount involved reaching ..."

"The mountains around the town were strangely penetrated, and a narrow and long hole appeared. This magical phenomenon caused heated discussions among people..."

"The latest news is that the largest pyramid in Country X has disappeared. Experts and scholars are currently conducting research and analysis..."

"Our reporter Yu..."

"Click"

After turning off the TV, Xia Zhi fell into silence.

He felt that he probably knew where Irena had gone.

.......

Chapter 731: How should the witch who made a mistake be punished?

That night, a figure slowly descended and opened the attic window.

Irena let out a "hey whoosh" and jumped lightly off the broom. Her little boots made a light "tapping" sound on the floor, a sound so soft that it could not be heard far away even in the silent night.

As expected of me, I have controlled the strength just right. Irena nodded with satisfaction.

In this way, it shouldn't disturb Xia Zhi, right?

Just as she was thinking this and yawned, preparing to change clothes, take a shower and go to bed, she felt a force coming from the back of her collar, pulling her whole body to the spot.

eh?

Irena turned around in confusion and met a pair of familiar black eyes.

"... Summer Solstice?" She tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then greeted the boy: "Um... Good evening?"

Being caught staying out all night made her feel somewhat guilty.

But soon Irena realized... No, I didn't stay out all night, did I? And the boy is just my boyfriend, not my father, - why do I feel guilty?

Thinking of this, Irena immediately gained confidence and straightened her chest.

"Did you have fun outside?" Xia Zhi looked at her and asked.

"It's okay." Irena thought for a moment and replied, "It just took a little longer to select and process the local specialties."

Although she didn't need to feel guilty, she still gave some explanation after coming back so late.

Local products...

Xia Zhi pulled the corner of his mouth and continued to ask: "The local specialty you are talking about is a building with a square bottom and a pointed top, made of stones?"

"Yeah." Irena nodded.

"The one covering an area of ​​52,000 square meters?"

“I haven’t measured this…”

Irena answered and looked at Xia Zhi in surprise: "You knew that?"

Could it be that... the boy has been paying attention to her?

Nonsense, how could I not know that it was on the news? Xia Zhi thought to himself unhappily.

After thinking about it, he became angry again and couldn't help but hit the girl on the head.

The girl let out an "Ahhh" and covered her head with her hands, looking at him angrily, as if accusing him of attacking her for no reason.

So Xia Zhi knocked her a few more times.

Under someone's "violent" oppression, Irena finally realized her mistake. And finally, under Xia Zhi's order and supervision, she was dragged to return the pyramid overnight.

……

"What? I collected it with great difficulty..."

After returning home, Irena pouted and muttered in dissatisfaction.

"That was built with great difficulty by people in ancient times." Xia Zhi looked at her unhappily and corrected her with the same words.

He never thought that when the girl said she wanted to choose a souvenir, she would actually set her sights on the pyramids.

"I heard that it is one of the origins of human civilization in this world, so I thought it must be of great commemorative value..." Irena explained.

"That's a relic, not a souvenir!" Xia Zhi tapped her head gently again.

According to what you said, there are so many valuable things that can be used as souvenirs. Why don't you steal those lighthouses and stone circles?

"I didn't steal it!" Irena argued, holding her head. "I didn't take it without permission. I went to discuss it with their king!"

Summer Solstice: ?

Can this matter be negotiated?

"Did he promise you?"

Irena nodded.

"He said, if you have the ability, just take it... He didn't charge a penny, what a good man he is." The girl sighed.

Summer Solstice:…

They obviously think you're here to cause trouble, so they're just being perfunctory, right?

"However, according to what you said, Xia Zhi, since that thing is so valuable, if I listen to you and return it now, then our debt will be written off, right?" Irena blinked and looked at him expectantly and asked.

That thing didn't belong to you in the first place... and, didn't you just say that you didn't get charged a penny?

· ········Request flowers··· ··

Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

It was clearly you who made a mistake, but you didn't think about repenting. Instead, you set your sights on the value of the "dirty things" themselves. Although the final result did not change, you "paid off" the debt out of thin air... Good man, you really understand all the financial tricks.

Without a doubt, Xia Zhi decisively rejected it.

"Cut, stingy..."

Irena muttered softly, then turned to walk out the door, but the boy grabbed her arm.

"Where are you going?"

"Of course I'm going to take a shower and go to bed... I'm so tired today." Irena answered as a matter of course, feeling a little strange... Is there anything wrong with this?

... ....... .......

"You don't think that you won't have to bear any punishment after making a mistake, do you?" Xia Zhi said, looking into her eyes.

Ah, this...

Irena, who thought she had gotten away with it, couldn't help but feel guilty when she heard him say that, and looked away slightly.

Xia Zhi didn't care about her reaction and continued, "Besides, apart from anything else, I could have gone to bed early tonight, but I stayed up late waiting for you until now... Who do you think is responsible for this?"

"This... is it because you didn't supervise him properly?" The girl hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively.

"..."

Looking at the gray-haired witch who was unrepentant and still trying to shift the blame, Xia Zhi felt that, just as she said, he must take on the responsibility of supervision and educate her properly.

“Hey, wait…!?”

Feeling the strength in her hand increase, Irena, who was unexpectedly pulled into the boy's arms, panicked. She tried to struggle a few times, but found that she couldn't break free. She could only blush and say:

"But...I haven't showered yet."

Xia Zhi ignored her struggle... She would have to wash again later anyway, so she could wash them together then.

Before that, he had to make up for the time he wasted by staying up late with the girl...

……Down.

Chapter 732 Irena Wants to Go Home

Although he wanted to take a shower quickly, he wasted a little longer. By the time Xia Zhi noticed it, the sky outside was already getting light.

"Irena?"

Xia Zhi poked the girl in his arms.

"Ok?"

Irena, resting her head on his arm, let out a lazy nasal sound.

"Want to take a shower?"

"No." Irena refused softly... She didn't want to move at all now.

"You're so sloppy." Xia Zhi showed a look of disgust.

Whose fault do you think this is?

Irena gave the guy a cold look, buried her head in his arms, and stopped looking at him.

"Come to think of it, why do you collect souvenirs?" Xia Zhi gently hugged the girl and asked her curiously.

"Are you just thinking about this now?"

Irena snorted in dissatisfaction, still burying her head in the boy's arms, and replied in a muffled voice: "Since it is a souvenir, of course it is given as a gift."

It's really rare that you can give gifts to others.

After hearing the girl's words, Xia Zhi's first thought was this, and then he quickly reacted.

"Giving it away?"

Who are you going to give it to?

Xia Zhi recalled what the girl had said before... The reason why she was attracted to the pyramid was because it was a creation of the origin of human civilization in this world and was very valuable and meaningful.

It doesn't sound like these words are meant to be given to people in this world, right?

Could it be that……

Irena did not answer Xia Zhi's question immediately. She hugged him gently with both hands, rested her forehead on his chest, and said softly: "Xia Zhi..."

"Ok?"

"I want to... go back."

After hearing the girl's words, Xia Zhi finally understood why she had been behaving so strangely in recent days.

So you're homesick?

Come to think of it, after all, I have been traveling for such a long time, and now I am in a distant world that cannot be described by spatial distance. It is normal to miss home.

"In that case, let's go back." He said after thinking for a while.

"What? That's too straightforward." Irena wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction.

The young man agreed so decisively that she didn't feel any reluctance at all, and she felt a little unhappy.

"Otherwise, do you want me to refuse?" Xia Zhi looked at her strangely. Didn't you say you wanted to go back? Now that I agreed to your request, you are unhappy again.

...Is this a woman?

He thought in his mind.

In fact, even if he didn't have this relationship with the girl now, Xia Zhi would agree to help her go home... After all, this was something they had agreed to long ago.

and……

"Aren't you choosing a special gift?" Xia Zhi asked.
