Probably after finishing her work in the store, Sister Bachu finally called back. Everyone who received the call couldn't wait to get up, grab their things, put on their beach slippers, and headed for the beach.

Soon, he met up with Bachu, who had been waiting at the door of the store for a long time.

Xi Mio immediately noticed that Sister Ba's fair forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, perhaps from the scorching sun or from being busy in the store just now, and she herself was unaware of it.

“Is business in the store good today?”

Xi Mio couldn't help but ask out loud. Seeing Sister Bachu constantly rubbing her wrist, it was really worrying.

"Business is...very good, because there are tourists coming here, and our store is close to the entrance and exit of the beach, so business is naturally good."

When she thought about how she had just finished serving those customers with great difficulty and was going to the beach to relax with Xi Mio and the others who had rushed over to join her, the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

"By the way..."

After coming to his senses, Ba Qu turned his gaze to the things in the hands of several people.

"Why are you each holding an inflatable swimming ring? And it's not even fully inflated. What do you want to do?"

she asked with some confusion.

“That’s surfing, of course.”

"Eh?"

Although she knew what Arisa meant by surfing, given their physiques, shouldn't they be using surfboards to surf?

What Yachi didn't know was that the last time she and Xi Mio were playing in the sea, they were also seen by the other three people, Alisa, Asi, and Fanxia, ​​who thought surfing with a swimming ring was quite fun.

then.

After the trip to the beach, we each bought an inflatable swimming ring and planned to have a good time.

Only a few people came to the beach where there were many tourists, but fortunately it was still relatively early. Although there were many people on the beach, many of them came to take a walk in the sea breeze or surf.

It would probably take a while for the real main force to arrive here, which made it convenient for Xi Mio and her group. They took their picnic blanket and parasols and occupied a good spot on the beach.

"Phew~ Fortunately we came early. The tourists are probably still having breakfast or sleeping in!"

Xi Mio looked around and found that there were not as many people as she had imagined, and she couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

But Sister Bachu, who was standing aside, suddenly fell silent, as if she was thinking about something.

She had just been in the store and saw the dark-skinned girl named Nishiyama Kyoko and her friends.

If she remembered correctly, they seemed to be wearing swimsuits too...

Thinking of this, Bachu also imitated Ximiao and glanced around, but did not find the familiar figure, and then muttered softly.

"Could it be that he has already gone back?"

If that's true, it would be pretty good~ she couldn't help but think so.

Just when a few people were planning to go to the beach and take a quick dip in the water to cool down, Arisa, who was rummaging through her backpack, stopped them.

"What's wrong, Arisa?"

Xi Mio turned around curiously and looked at Alisa who was kneeling on the picnic blanket. She didn't quite understand why she called them.

As a result, after a while, he saw the girl take out a bottle of sunscreen and motioned them to come over.

"Put on the sunscreen first, then go out and play! If you get a sunburn on your back, you'll have a hard time taking a shower."

After hearing what Arisa said, the few people who were originally excited to run into the sea to play in the water suddenly calmed down.

Then they realized that they were so excited that they forgot to take off their coats, and the inflatable swimming ring was deflated and not properly inflated.

then.

There was only the sound of a zipper being ripped open. Xi Mio, who was wearing a pair of tight-fitting swimming trunks, did not feel as shy as last time because her swimsuit was more normal this time.

After seeing that Arisa had poured sunscreen on the palm of her hand, Xi Mio volunteered to be the first to step forward.

As Aresa applied the cool sunscreen evenly on his skin, although it would feel sticky afterwards, it was still relatively comfortable now.

Just as Xi Mio and the others were here, leisurely applying sunscreen.

far away.

Also under the parasol, Nishiyama Kyoko was lying on the picnic blanket with a comfortable look on her face, humming a little tune, while asking her bestie to apply sunscreen on her.

The girl next to her was speechless, not understanding what the purpose of Nishiyama Kyoko applying this was.

"Hey~ Xiangzi, you're already tanned, why do you still need to put on sunscreen? Isn't that a waste?"

"Huh? No, what does this have to do with whether I'm dark or not? Sunburn and tanning are two different things!"

"Huh? Is that so?"

The girl obviously didn't quite believe what Nishiyama Kyoko said, so she squeezed the sunscreen onto her hands reluctantly and then applied it on her smooth back.

"By the way, Xiangzi, someone just said that they saw Xi Mio and the others also came to play on the beach."

As if she suddenly remembered something, the girl who was helping her apply sunscreen cream suddenly said this.

After hearing the news, Nishiyama Kyoko sat up suddenly and looked around for the figure she cared about.

But after a long time, there was no sign of Xi Mio, which made her a little discouraged.

Then, she asked, "Did they really see Xi Mio-kun?"

"Eh? They are right. I just caught a glimpse of Xi Mio and his group at the beach entrance, but I don't know where they went."

"..."

For a moment, Nishiyama Kyoko didn't know what to say, so she could only sigh silently, lay back down, and continued to let her help apply sunscreen.

On the other side, Xi Mio, who didn't know that Xishan and the others were also playing on the beach, was sitting cross-legged under a parasol, helping to blow air into an inflatable swimming ring with great difficulty.

Just his own little yellow duck swimming ring made him dizzy after it was inflated.

But those two bastards, Arisa and Fanxia, ​​actually handed him their inflatable swimming rings and asked him for help.

So now, what can be seen is that under the parasol, Xi Mio has a resentful look on her face, holding a swimming ring and blowing air into it.

Fanxia and Alisa were playing with their mobile phones and taking pictures leisurely, as if they were planning to capture the memory of this trip.

As for Sister Bachu and Aunt Yashi, they said they wanted to discuss issues concerning the store, but while they were talking, the two of them ran into the sea and disappeared in a short while.

Seeing this, Xi Mio couldn't help but sigh, and had to resign herself to continuing to help blow up the inflatable swimming ring.

I don’t know how long it took.

Xi Mio fell back subconsciously. As if she had predicted Xi Mio's action, Arisa came behind him at some point and let the boy lie on her soft thighs.

Although because of the two huge evil masses, Xi Mio couldn't see what Alisa's expression was, but she always felt that she seemed to be in a pretty good mood.

Thinking of this, Xi Mio was able to close her eyes with peace of mind, planning to have a good rest and go play in the water again after her head was no longer dizzy due to lack of oxygen.

However, Sister Fanxia next to her was inflating a swimming ring. After she was done, she couldn't wait to run into the sea with the swimming ring.

Then she just kept going up and down with the waves. Even though she didn't know how to ride a surfboard, she still felt the fun of the waves and had a lot of fun playing there.

"Speaking of which... Sister Fanxia, ​​she wouldn't freeze the sea water, would she?"

Xi Mio suddenly remembered that Sister Fanxia was a snow girl, opened her eyes and asked worriedly, if any trouble really happened, it would be a big deal.

Before he could continue, Arisa was amused by his unrealistic imagination.

"Pfft~ If she really had that ability, she wouldn't be unable to defeat me."

"Eh?"

He seemed to have heard something, something extraordinary.

It seems like you two really had a fight!

Chapter 35 Encounter

After simply resting for a while on Arisa's soft and charming lap, Xi Mio, who had regained her spirits, walked towards the beach with the girl, dragging their inflatable swimming rings.

The moment the cold sea water covered his ankles, the boy, who was wearing swimming trunks that were tight against his skin, shivered subconsciously.

But soon, Xi Mio adapted to the cold feeling of the sea water, took her little yellow duck swimming ring, and skillfully placed it on the water.

Then he sat down on it, and used his hands and feet to move towards the distance with some difficulty. This made Arisa, who was watching the scene, laugh.

"Do you want my help, Mio~"

Seeing the young man looking at her, she quickly put away the smile on her face and looked at Xi Mio seriously, as if nothing had happened just now.

Xi Mio looked at Arisa's expression carefully, but didn't gain anything from it, and there was no room for him to find fault.

then.

Xi Mio, who really felt that she might not be able to go surfing in the sea with the little yellow duck swimming ring before noon, nodded silently.

It was considered as agreeing to what Arisa said just now and asking her for help.

Then, the girl waved her hand helplessly, walked forward, pushed the little yellow duck swimming ring, and brought Ximiao to the sea some distance away from the beach.

Judging from the visual, this place should be enough for Xi Mio to play for quite a while, and then she imitated Xi Mio, exerted force with both hands suddenly, and sat on her swimming ring.

"Okay, next, just wait for the waves to come over here."

As she spoke, her fair little hand silently held Ximiao's hand. Ximiao, feeling the touch on her hand, did not say anything.

At the same time, on the other side, Sister Bachu and Aunt Yashi, who had run away to who knows where, were resting behind a reef.

"So, what do you think about the grocery store? I think Xi Mio should have explained it to you clearly, right?"

Yashi looked in front of her with a little curiosity. The lady Bachu, who was a head taller than her, seemed to be expecting her answer.

"Shouldn't Xiao Mio have the final say on matters like this?"

"That's right, but he seems to want to give you the choice to make."

"..."

When Bachu heard this answer, although he had expected it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

In her heart, she was complaining that Xi Mio, who always complained about trouble, had left this matter to her to make the choice, even though she already had the answer in her heart...

Bachu nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with the plan proposed by Yashi, but she still asked with some concern.

“After joining the brand, can I still work there?”

"Of course you can~ It's just that the store has changed from being just you working alone to a three-shift system. This will make it easier~"

Yashi could see that Bachu was worried about something, so he patted his chest which was tightly wrapped in his swimsuit and made a promise.

After getting the answer, Yachi withdrew his gaze and looked behind the reef, where in the distance, he saw Shimizu surfing on an inflatable swimming ring with Alisa.

If doing so could allow her to spend more time with him, she would not have any objection even if her conscience was a little uneasy or she had to continue living under someone else's roof.

After a long time.

Xi Mio was probably tired from playing, so she just sat on the little yellow duck swimming ring, floating on the sea with the waves.

The sun in the sky was covered by thick clouds, temporarily giving everyone on the beach a moment of respite from the uninterrupted and scorching sunlight.

Just as Xi Mio was thinking about what to eat for lunch at noon, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

"Ah, isn't this Xi Mio-kun? What a coincidence~ You're also here at the beach, where are the others?"

Nishiyama Hibiki was originally strolling along the beach hoping to find Xi Mio.

By chance, she actually saw Xi Mio sitting on the swimming ring, staring at the distant horizon in a daze.

Obviously, Xi Mio did not expect to meet Nishiyama Kyoko here. She was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and looked at the dark-skinned girl who was evasive and did not dare to look her in the eye.

"What a coincidence, Nishiyama-san. If you're looking for Arisa and the others, you'll probably have to wait a while..."

Before Xi Mio could finish her words, she was interrupted by Nishiyama Kyoko. The dark-skinned girl changed her shy look and looked like a hunter, staring at Xi Mio who was only wearing a tight swimming trunks.

"No, no, no~ I'm not here to look for them, Xi Mio-kun, I have something I want to ask you."

"Eh?"

After hearing what she said, Xi Mio was stunned. In his impression, he was not familiar with this girl named Xishan Xiangzi at all...

As if she could see Ximiao's confusion, Nishiyama Kyoko sighed silently and then sat down directly on the beach next to Ximiao.
