"...Someone, come and save me"

This faint cry for help...

·· ···Request flowers· ·······

……

I don’t know how much time has passed, and how many times the sun has risen and set in the sky.

The girl searched every corner of the city, but couldn't find anyone other than herself.

She tried to walk out, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get outside and reach the other side of the bridge.

It was as if she was trapped in... no, it should be said that she was abandoned in this world.

No one can come to save themselves.

The girl has realized this and accepted this reality.

Gradually, she began to feel tired.

From the initial anxiety and panic to the final numbness and despair.

Although the city is still functioning normally, it has enough water, electricity, and food that seems to never go bad to keep itself alive.

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

But... that's enough.

At night, on the shore of the lake in the park, looking at the shimmering lake surface reflecting the moon and the starry sky under the moonlight, she threw a small stone into the lake.

With a soft "plop" sound, the tranquility of the lake was broken.

Looking at the ripples that stirred the stars and the moon in the water, her face was expressionless, and no one knew what she was thinking.

That’s...enough.

The girl thought again in her heart.

Looking at the slightly rippling lake, she finally took a step forward.

"puff"

The still starry sky was shattered.

At the moment when the cold lake water covered the girl's head, she saw the sea of ​​stars first rolled into a whirlpool by the water flow, and then was shattered into a turbulent silver light, rippling and spreading like the ripples she had just seen.

so beautiful……

For the first time, she noticed that the starry sky of this world was so dreamy and beautiful.

It's a pity that she only realized this now.

…Gradually, the scene in front of her eyes became blurred. She didn’t know if it was the sensory confusion before death, but she felt like she was hallucinating.

"Wow--"

It seemed as if an impossible sound of water entering the water came from the water, and the bright silver galaxy was shattered once again.

In this broken illusory light and shadow, the girl saw a hand reaching out to her.

The next moment, she felt herself being held tightly in his arms...

……Several.

Chapter 1136: The Hand That Reluctant to Let Go

This is the third time I have rescued someone from the water today, right?

I clearly came here to play in the water, but why do I feel like I have become a professional lifeguard?

Looking at the silver-haired girl who was wet all over, lying on the ground by the lake and coughing constantly, Xia Zhi thought to himself.

The only difference from Sonoko was that the girl really choked on water... No, it should be said that she drowned.

Looking at her expression, if I had been a few steps later, or if I had been someone who couldn't cross half the city in the blink of an eye, I might have really died, right?

...By the way, she has been coughing for so long, does she need my help?

As Xia Zhi was thinking anxiously, the girl who had been coughing for a long time finally recovered a little.

"call……"

She turned over and sat on the ground. Her cheeks were extremely pale. Her chest rose and fell violently as her mouth opened and closed. She greedily breathed in the fresh air.

Her silver-white hair was wet and stuck to both sides of her cheeks. Water droplets fell along her hair, one drop after another... Her thin dress was soaked by the lake water and stuck tightly to her petite body, making her look fragile and pitiful.

"..."

The girl coughed weakly twice again and couldn't help but hug herself a little tighter.

Suffocating, cold, dark...

The cold lake water poured into the lungs, causing the body to cough and breathe subconsciously, but it only allowed more lake water to be inhaled.

This was the darkness that gradually swallowed her up when she sank into the lake, in contrast to the brilliant light of the overlapping stars and reflections.

After returning to the shore, I felt the inhaled air flow smoothly into my lungs. The feeling of being able to breathe smoothly was like being reborn.

It was not until this moment, in contrast to this life, when her thoughts detached from the beautiful starry sky, that she finally realized that it was the shadow of death that shrouded her as her consciousness and vision gradually sank into darkness.

As she was thinking this, she suddenly felt as if some clothes were draped over her body, and a warm feeling came over her.

She subconsciously tried to raise her head, but something covered her head, blocking her vision.

"I personally don't recommend committing suicide by diving."

Xia Zhi simply squatted down in front of the girl, wiped her wet hair with a dry towel, and said this.

Compared to the more popular traditional suicide method of jumping off a building, drowning is a more painful process, and considering that if no one finds it for a while, the final death will be even uglier.

If conditions permit, he would still recommend... Uh, no, why am I saying this.

Xia Zhi shook his head and took off the towel after wiping himself simply, revealing a delicate and lovely face. With pure silver-white hair and penetrating blue eyes, the girl's favorability towards him increased by 23 percentage points.

"What's your name?" he asked aloud.

The girl didn't answer, but stared at him with her deep blue eyes without blinking, as if she was in a daze.

...Is this child going to be stupid?

Xia Zhi thought with some worry.

"Do you know what day this is?"

He stretched out a finger and waved it in front of the girl.

However, the girl did not look at his hands, her eyes were always on his face, staring into his eyes quietly.

Well, that looks really stupid.

Xia Zhi thought helplessly, shook his head gently, changed a clean towel, helped her wipe her face, and simply wiped the water droplets that kept dripping from her body, and took off the white over-the-knee socks that were soaked in water... As for the shoes, it seemed that one of them fell into the water just now and could not be found for the time being. After taking off the remaining one, he simply did not let her put it on again, and wiped the water stains on her feet with a towel.

During this process, the girl was extremely quiet the whole time, letting him manipulate her like a delicate doll.

After simply wiping it clean, Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, stood up again, and looked at the silver-haired girl in front of him who looked much fresher than before, with a hesitant expression.

As for clothes, there was no way to take them off as easily as socks, as they were completely soaked. Even my coat was soaked by water and could not be worn.

I’ll find a place to change her clothes later.

But, I can’t change it myself, right?

He thought to himself, shook his head, and reached out his hand to the girl again, trying to ask

"Come on, can you hold my hand?"

This time, the girl finally responded to his words.

She hesitated, stretched out her little hand, and paused in mid-air, as if she was afraid of piercing something. She wanted to get closer, but hesitated and didn't dare to touch...

Xia Zhi did not urge her, but quietly waited for her next move.

After hesitating for a long time, as if she finally mustered up the courage, the girl pursed her lips and gently held his hand.

At this moment, a warm touch came from her hand and wrapped around her little hand.

"..."

Feeling this real warmth vividly, she slightly widened her eyes as if confirming something.

The next moment, the azure eyes were gradually covered by mist, and tears silently slid down from the corners of the eyes.

At first Xia Zhi thought it was some water drops that had not been wiped off flowing down her cheeks, but as the girl's tears flowed more and more and could not stop sliding down her cheeks, he finally realized

This...why are you crying?

Xia Zhi hesitated for a moment, looking at the girl who couldn't stop crying but was still crying silently, he sighed slightly, squatted down again, and gently held her in his arms.

"It's okay now, I'm here."

He gently stroked the girl's back and whispered softly in her ear.

The boy's action seemed to turn on a switch. Hearing the soft words in her ear, the girl's body trembled slightly, and her inner emotions surged up uncontrollably.

“Woo… woo… wooaaaaah!”

She hugged Xia Zhi tightly, letting the emotions overwhelm her, and cried loudly.

She couldn't stop crying, as if she wanted to vent all the suppressed emotions for a while, and there was no sign of stopping for a long time.

What should we do now?

Holding the trembling, sobbing little body in his arms, feeling his chest completely wet with tears, Xia Zhi thought hesitantly:

Or... go ask Mio for help?

But to be honest, apart from helping me share some tears, it seems like she can't do much for me right now, right?

Xia Zhi thought about this and didn’t know how long it had been before the crying in his arms gradually became smaller and quieter.

When he came to his senses, he found that the girl had already laid on his chest. She seemed to be tired of crying and fell asleep with her eyes closed.

Even so, her little hand still tightly grasped Xia Zhi's hand, as if she was afraid that he would disappear, and she was unwilling to let go...

.......

Chapter 1137 Elf or Brave?

"So, you brought her back during the summer solstice?"

Looking at the silver-haired girl sleeping in the boy's arms, Mio tilted her head slightly and asked curiously.

"You can't just leave it there for her, right?" Xia Zhi replied as a matter of course.

Actually, it’s not impossible, but…

Xia Zhi lowered his head and saw that the girl was still holding his hand tightly.

There's no way to run away when she's holding me like this.

Of course, these are just jokes. Xiazhi can still be shaken off if you want to.

However, even if we put aside the influence of subjective emotions, facing such an unexpected existence that appeared in a world where there should be no one else except them, we can't just leave it there and ignore it, right?

Considering that the girl had fallen into a deep sleep after crying herself tired, it seemed inappropriate to wake her up and question her now, so Xia Zhi had to take her back first.

Because of this extra pendant on my body, I couldn't continue to attend the party.

And since he had left, Sonoko and the others... well, I heard there was no impact, and they happily drove until late at night before going home.

Tsk, didn’t you say that they are all my heroes?

Xia Zhi smacked his lips.

Fortunately, Yuanzi knew to bring him some skewers when she came back, so his love for her was not in vain.

But it’s probably not very convenient for me to eat now.

Xia Zhi thought to himself, glanced at the girl sleeping in his arms, and then set his sights on the other green-haired girl opposite him.

"Cong Yun, she was not invited."

Facing his gaze, Cong Yun gently shook his head and continued:
