I loaded the dream game

Ah, this...

Xia Zhi looked away guiltily.

……

"I object! I strongly object! I am innocent!"

In the end, despite Irena's shouting and insisting on her innocence, she was still taken away semi-forcibly by the soldiers.

Watching the girl's back as she walked away, Xia Zhi had already started to think about how much bail he would have to pay to redeem her.

"There are only two of us left."

Victoria turned around, looked at Xia Zhi, blinked and said.

"…It feels like I've returned to that time again. Do you miss it a little?"

Looking at the girl's cute face with a hint of playfulness, Xia Zhi couldn't help but wonder, was the reason why she turned a blind eye to Irena's situation just now because of this situation?

...No, even if you were selling your daughter, you wouldn't do it like this, right?

Oh, she didn't seem to know that was her daughter, that's okay.

"Summer Solstice?"

Seeing that the boy seemed to be distracted, Victoria tilted her head slightly and called him softly.

"Huh?" Xia Zhi came back to his senses and looked at her puzzledly.

"Let's go in?"

The girl said this and stretched out her little hand to hold his hand.

……Down.

Chapter 761 Recovered Memories

Passing through the city gate, straight stone steps extend forward, and the white walls of the buildings on both sides reflect dazzling light under the sunlight.

There are various bookstores, post offices, coffee shops where you can read, and memorial halls for famous writers on both sides of the road. Whether it is pedestrians passing by or residents resting on the benches by the roadside, they all hold books, newspapers or other items in their hands.

The scenery I saw was not much different from when I first came here, as if time had not left many traces in this country.

However, Xia Zhi was not in the mood to reminisce, nor did he have the mind to appreciate the beautiful country listed in the text. His attention was completely focused on the girl beside him and the hand she was holding with him.

Although they have already entered the country, the girl still has no intention of letting go, and it seems that she intends to keep holding him like this.

"I'm just missing you..."

Facing his gaze, Victoria explained: "Didn't you hold my hand like this last time you came?"

I don't remember anything like that.

...At most, it was just a short distance, right?

That's just because there are so many people coming and going at the border, and they're afraid that you might get lost.

Xia Zhi defended himself in his heart.

On the other side, seeing that the boy didn't care about it, Victoria showed a smile on her face. After thinking for a while, she loosened her hand holding his, quietly put her fingers into his fingers little by little, and then held them tightly again...

After doing these things, she blushed like a child who had done something bad, and turned her head away, no longer daring to look at the boy.

Summer Solstice: "..."

The last time we held hands, I think our fingers weren’t interlocked, right?

Looking at the gray-haired girl beside him with a slightly red face, he looked away and changed the subject:

"Speaking of which, why did you come here last time?"

"I just happened to pass by and stopped here for a while." The girl replied in a low voice.

I'm just taking a break, there's no need to use Irena's identity, and I won't be treated as a suspect, right?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart and continued to ask:

"So, what have you been doing in this country?"

"...I did some simple small business." The girl continued to answer.

Although it was a small business, thinking about the survival skills he had taught the girl, Xia Zhi probably understood why the guards said she was a fraudster.

After all, what I taught her in the beginning were basically one-time transactions that could only be done once, and the buyer had to run away on the same day after the sale.

So, is it still my own fault in the end?

Xia Zhi shook his head, looked at her and continued to ask:

"Are you going to fish Irena out?"

"Let's finish the work first."

It seems that between work and her daughter, the dedicated Miss Victoria chose the former without hesitation.

So, following the route they remembered, the two came to the library again.

Victoria handed the wooden box to the administrator and explained the situation to her.

The administrator first thanked you for your hard work, then took the box, took a look at it, and asked doubtfully:

"You haven't opened it to look at it, have you?"

"...That's not the case." The girl replied.

Summer Solstice: "..."

Don't look at me secretly when you lie?

"Really?" The administrator was a little skeptical, but he didn't ask any further. He shook his head and said:

"Sorry, I'd like to trouble you to store this cargo with me for the time being."

Because the library is conducting regular inventory work these two days, the book storage function has been temporarily closed. Even if you receive the books, you cannot put them into the library immediately.

A book that has not been put into the warehouse will cause trouble for the inventory work and may even be lost... This is the explanation given by the administrator.

"So, I'll have to trouble you for a while longer."

"That's not a big deal."

Victoria answered, and then reminded her: "But you should also know that according to the rules of our witch industry, the freight has to be paid on delivery."

"..."

If Xia Zhi remembered correctly, she should have said before that for witches like them, the freight is usually collected in advance, right?

It's only been two days and the rules have changed... So the rules of the witch industry are so flexible?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart...

The shipper and the consignee both get benefits, and the information gap makes the game clear to you.

"Please also settle the escrow fees that have been deposited over the past few days in advance."

Do we need to fleece the sheep again?

On the other side, another deal was successfully concluded, and after making all the money, Victoria put away the money bag with satisfaction.

Then, she took out the slip of paper that was handed to her when she entered the country, which said "Your books are stored in the country", and handed it to the administrator.

"Also, I would like to take the books that I deposited with you that year."

……

"What did you write?"

On the way out of the library, Xia Zhi looked at the gray-haired girl who was holding the booklet in one hand, still holding his hand with the other, and following him briskly, and asked curiously.

It seems like she is in a good mood?

"I forgot." The girl replied.

Forgot? Xia Zhi was slightly stunned.

"So many years have passed. It's normal to forget what you wrote. Isn't it?" Facing his puzzled look, Victoria tilted her head and explained.

Xia Zhi thought about it and it seemed to be true. If he was asked to remember the specific content of a letter he had written to someone a few years ago, it would seem like it would be a difficult task.

“However, I can still remember a little bit of the general content.” The girl lowered her head and kicked the stones under her feet while whispering... Because the boy was holding her hand, she didn’t have to worry about falling or bumping into someone if she didn’t look at the road.

She didn't remember what was written on it, she just remembered that it was something very embarrassing for her at the time.

That’s why she used the excuse that it was a “girl’s secret” and didn’t want the boy to see it.

As for now...

"If you're really curious."

A smile appeared on her face, she looked up at the boy and said:

"I'll tell you after I finish reading it."

.......

Chapter 762 "She is my daughter, right?"

After a long interrogation, Xia Zhi paid a sum of bail and fine, and after being scolded and told "Don't do it again next time", he finally let Irena regain her freedom.

"What? I clearly said it wasn't me who did it."

It was obvious that Irena, who had been scolded for no reason for an entire afternoon, was full of resentment towards this country.

"Xiazhi, should we keep the book we gave them for ourselves?"

She raised her head and looked at the boy, and quickly proposed a plan for revenge.

"It wasn't given to them. We were escorting it on their behalf." Xia Zhi corrected seriously.

Victoria has just collected the money from both parties and got a little extra money, but you want to embezzle the goods. You two really don't intend to leave any leftovers for others, right?

He complained in his mind.

"Besides, what does the library have to do with the guards?"

"Girls are unreasonable when they are angry." Miss Witch defended herself.

You just don't want to be reasonable, right? Xia Zhi thought.

"Speaking of which, why did you let me die without saving me?" Irena gave him a suspicious and dissatisfied look.

"You know I was wronged, right?"

Of course Xia Zhi knew that she was being wronged... after all, the person actually involved was watching right beside her at the time.

That being said, from Irena's perspective...

"I don't know exactly what you went through before you met me."

"?"

A question mark appeared above Irena's head.

What do you mean, do you think I'm lying?

I'm the kind of person who would... uh... I might lie to you... um...

Irena hesitated...she found that she seemed to be a little confused.

Forget it, anyway

"you do not trust me!"

She shook her head, looked at the boy and puffed up her cheeks slightly, saying dissatisfiedly: "Not only do you not trust me, but you don't come to save me!"

Obviously, she intended to take advantage of the privilege that girls don't need to be reasoned with when they are angry.

Xia Zhi tried to comfort her, but the girl, who was still angry, shook her head and shook his hand away, as if she didn't want to walk with him. She quickened her pace and walked in front of him, her steps becoming heavier, and her little leather boots made a "tapping" sound on the ground.

I have to say, even when she is sulking, the girl is still exceptionally cute.
