I loaded the dream game

It was unclear what the boy was thinking at the moment. Although she only received a simple compliment, Victoria seemed very happy. After gesturing in front of the mirror a few more times, she bought the dress from the counter clerk.

To be honest, apart from the time he paid Irena, this was the first time Xia Zhi saw a girl seriously paying money to someone else. It was quite rare.

Xia Zhi began to hesitate in his heart, wondering whether he should take a photo to record this memorable moment.

Victoria turned back to look at him suspiciously: "Are you thinking something bad about me?"

"You think too much." Xia Zhi denied without changing his expression.

As intuition as Irena's... Is this also hereditary? He complained in his heart.

The girl obviously didn't believe it, but she didn't ask any further questions.

After thinking for a while, she walked up to the boy with the clothes she had just bought, raised her head slightly, looked at him and asked:

"Can you help me change into this?"

now?

Looking at the girl's clear eyes looking at him, Xia Zhi hesitated.

Although this store has a changing room, isn't it a bit inappropriate to walk in in front of others?

"Is it not possible?" The girl tilted her head.

Faced with her request, what else could Xia Zhi do?

He sighed slightly and snapped his fingers softly.

The next moment, brilliant sparks spread out, and a barrier that isolated cause and effect descended, dyeing the world bright red...

……

Because "Seal" can only pause the internal time but cannot stop the passage of external time, when Xia Zhi and Victoria came out from inside, the sun in the sky outside was almost setting in the west.

"What kind of magic was that just now?" Victoria had already changed into the dress she had just bought. She walked with a slightly awkward step, holding the boy's hand to prevent herself from falling, and looked up at him curiously.

"Time management magic." Xia Zhi replied.

I always feel that, to some extent, "Seal" seems to have gradually deviated from its original purpose in his place, and is always used in some strange places...

I wonder if Shana, who taught me this free style, would be angry if she knew about this?

...No, if you really knew, you would definitely be angry, right? It's just not because of the way "Seal" is used.

Xia Zhi thought so.

"……ah!?"

The girl suddenly let out a small cry of surprise.

"what happened?"

"I forgot my hat... in that store."

She touched the top of her head, but only felt the floral ornament in her hair. The witch's hat that was supposed to be on her head was gone.

Just as she was about to turn back to look for it, she felt something being gently pressed on her head.

"I knew you would be so forgetful." Xia Zhi put the hat on the girl's head, rubbed her head and said this.

"..."

Victoria pursed her lips slightly after hearing his helpless words. The feeling of being taken care of and protected by him, having him backing her up, and not having to worry about anything, made her feel as if she had returned to the past, recalling the sense of security she had when he took her on a trip.

So, I'm just a girl of the same age.

She thought silently in her heart and opened her mouth slightly:

"Summer Solstice..."

"Ok?"

"I like you."

"Yeah, I know." Xia Zhi responded.

"so……"

At the end of the street, at the foot of a clock tower, the gray-haired girl stopped, raised her head, looked at the boy with her glassy eyes, and said softly:

"...How about trying to separate us?"

.......

Chapter 770 "I hope you will only like 'Victoria'"

To look at you separately...?

What do you mean?

Looking at the gray-haired girl in front of him who was slightly raising her head and looking at him, and her glass-colored eyes that clearly reflected his face, Xia Zhi felt a little doubtful.

Victoria did not answer immediately, but glanced at the tall clock tower beside her, then turned back to look at Xia Zhi, blinked, and asked:

"Can you take me up there to have a look?"

"Can't you fly too?" Xia Zhi asked.

"I went out today without my wand or broom." The girl replied

As a witch, wouldn't it be incompetent of you to go out without a wand?

This basically means you are completely putting your personal safety in your own hands, right?

Xia Zhi thought, he didn't know whether to be happy or helpless about the trust the girl had given him. Finally, he sighed slightly, took her hand, and flew with her to the big clock on the top of the clock tower.

As for the sign next to the clock tower that read "To all magicians: Do not fly or climb at will", he ignored it... he was not a magician.

In the distant sky, as the sun gradually sinks, the clouds have been dyed the red of the sunset.

Standing on the top of the bell tower, looking at the sun gradually setting in the distance, Victoria said with a sigh:

"It's going down again."

"Yeah." Xia Zhi responded softly, and then fell into thought.

So, what did you do today?

It seems like I have wasted another day just like before.

As he thought to himself, his eyes fell on the gray-haired girl in a dress with her back to him.

Well...it’s not really a wasted time.

"Summer Solstice."

Just then, the girl suddenly called him.

"Ok?"

"Like I said before..."

Victoria continued softly:

“I’d be jealous too.”

She withdrew her gaze from the dusk glow in the distance, turned her head to look at the boy, and continued:

"In your heart, there is always a subconscious thought that I am Irena's mother, right?"

this……

Xia Zhi was about to retort when he was interrupted by the girl shaking her head.

"Don't deny it, I know it... it's a preconceived notion after all."

After all...she has known you for so long before me.

Victoria looked at the boy's face and thought silently in her heart.

Because the girl didn't let him deny it, Xia Zhi had to reach out and touch her head, trying to comfort her first.

Victoria shook her head slightly and continued:

"I'm not angry. After all, if it weren't for this relationship, you wouldn't have helped me so much, right?"

To some extent, it was Irena who brought them together.

only……

The girl pursed her lips slightly

It's so unfair.

Why couldn't you meet me earlier?

She took a deep breath, looked into the boy's eyes again, and said seriously: "Xiazhi, I am Victoria...that's all."

"To me, the things you think happened never happened, and the results you think never existed... No matter what happened originally, I like you now, and I will only like you... Even if you and I have a daughter in the future, I will not regard her as Irena."

The girl was very smart and easily deduced from Xia Zhi's words "the past has changed" that since the boy's arrival changed the timeline, she should not have known the boy in the original timeline.

She didn't like that kind of "future".

She couldn't imagine a world without Xia Zhi, and she didn't want to accept it anyway.

Therefore, her words are basically equivalent to denying the original future and only acknowledging her current present.

And since I only acknowledge this moment...

Victoria thought to herself, walked forward and gently hugged the boy, put her head on his chest, and whispered:

"I don't want to be separated from you... But at the same time, I also hope that you can treat me as an independent existence and love me only as Victoria."

As the girl spoke, there was a barely perceptible tremor in her voice.

"I... am not Irena's dependent."

"I don't want you to fall in love with me because of her."

She didn't look up at Xia Zhi...or rather, she didn't dare to look up at Xia Zhi at this time.

Looking at the girl who buried her head in his arms, Xia Zhi sighed slightly, stretched out his hand, ran it down along her gray hair, pressed it against her chin, and gently lifted her head up.

Then, in Victoria's confused eyes, he lowered his head.

“Ugh…!?”

The girl's body tensed up immediately, then gradually relaxed, hugging him tightly with both hands.

After a long time, the two separated again.

Xia Zhi looked down at the girl's cheeks, which still had a blush on them, and said to her softly:

"Of course I didn't fall in love with you because of her."

"At that time, even if it wasn't for Irena, I would have saved you."

As he spoke, he picked up the hat that the girl had just dropped from the ground, helped her put it back on, rubbed her head, looked into her eyes and said

"It's you I like, Victoria."

"..."

Victoria's glassy eyes flickered slightly as she listened to the boy's words. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and opened them again after a moment. She looked at Xia Zhi and changed the subject and asked:

"But, compared to me, you actually like Irena more, right?"

Compared with the "calling for accusation" just now, the girl's tone of voice returned to the original one. Combined with her efforts to suppress her smile and her deliberately stern face, it sounded more like a little girl's dissatisfied complaint when she was upset.

· ········Request flowers··· ··

"Well..." Xia Zhi thought in his heart, how should he answer better?

Victoria shook her head: "No need to explain... After all, you two are already an official couple, and I am just the third party."

"At that time, the reason you chose to leave me was also because of Irena, right?"

Regarding this, Xia Zhi really didn’t know how to explain it... After all, it was indeed the case.

But, that’s also because their relationship wasn’t what it is now, right?

"So, if you were to go back to that time, would you still choose to leave me alone?"
