I already said this is not a life simulator!

"I said I would slow down, but I still look at things out of habit..."

Xiwang looked at the sun gradually setting in the west and whispered to himself.

"Hush...huh..."

Close your eyes, adjust your breathing slightly, and try to let go of the remaining anxiety and complicated thoughts in your mind.

At the same time, after losing vision, other senses began to become sharper.

The tip of your nose is lingering with the salty and humid smell of sea water, mixed with a hint of coolness unique to sea water. Your ears are filled with the sound of waves crashing. Even if you don't use your eyes to see, you can subconsciously imagine the appearance of white waves crashing on the shore.

The sea breeze blew across his face and body, along his fingertips, over his knuckles, across the back of his hands, and up his arms like a stream of water, finally lightly touching his neck and face.

"call……"

Xi Wang breathed steadily, as if someone was gently holding his face, with a hint of coolness like water, yet as gentle as a mother's. He subconsciously obeyed the gentle gesture and raised his head slightly.

The sound in my ears was getting lighter, as if there was a thin membrane between them. The surrounding environment also seemed to become damp and a little colder. Then...

tick-

A crisp sound suddenly broke Xi Wang's current state.

I opened my eyes and looked at the water drops falling on the back of my hand. I raised my head and looked at the rain clouds that had filled the sky at some point.

"Ah...it's going to rain..."

Xi Wang lowered his eyes slightly and muttered to himself. Then he scratched his head in confusion, took out his terminal and checked the time.

"Why have I stayed here for so long... Did I fall asleep? That shouldn't be the case... Or have I just been in a daze for a few hours?"

"This is really bad. If it were normal, this period of time would be enough for me to do many things..."

"But...rainy days aren't bad, though."

Feeling that the sporadic raindrops were gradually turning into a drizzle, Xiwang's mouth corners slightly raised, and he stood up and walked in the rain.

Unlike other travelers who were anxious to take shelter from the rain, regretting the untimely rain, and rushing to restaurants or hotels with umbrellas, Xiwang just stood in the rain, and his originally slow pace gradually became cheerful.

The rain wet his clothes, soaked his hair, and cast a light filter over everything in front of him, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. His mood even became happier.

He hummed an unknown tune and let the breeze carry his singing voice, which was soon covered by the sound of rain. However, he did not mind. Under the flowing rain and on the shore with surging waves, he was in an unexpectedly cheerful mood.

And he didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the rain and even the surging waves at the moment were conveying a faint emotion of joy to him...it's just that other people couldn't feel it.

And to be honest, Xiwang's move was not very good, at least it had a bad influence on other people, especially on children... Many children saw Xiwang's cheerful look, and out of curiosity or playfulness, they wanted to leave their parents and go into the rain to play in the flowing rain water.

Fortunately, their parents grabbed them in time, allowing them to play in a safer place instead of walking on the edge of the coast like Xiang Xiwang.

Xiwang also realized this and slightly adjusted his position to avoid bringing any bad influence to the children.

Afterwards, Xiwang found a quiet and deserted place, sat on the rain-soaked ground, looked at the boundless blue sea, and hummed his own song softly.

"嘤——"

In the blur, I seemed to hear some creature chirping.

Xiwang looked with a sense of discovery and found that there were several black and white creatures swimming on the distant sea.

--------

[Blood Relatives (Killer Whale/Skadi) (Blue), Effective]

[Orca-like creatures have a higher affinity towards you! Your affinity towards orcas has increased! A orca that can be called "Skadi" has a significantly higher affinity towards you! 】

--------

"Are you calling me...?"

Xiwang was a little surprised. After all, they were so far away and there was the sound of rain. Logically, he should not be able to hear their chirping, but... he could still vaguely sense it.

This feeling is really wonderful.

However, just when Xi Wang was about to stand up and move closer, a worried voice came from behind him, and the rain stopped falling on Xi Wang.

"Brother, is there something bothering you?"

Looking back, I found that a young man who was a little older than Xiwang was holding an umbrella to protect Xiwang from the rain.

"If you have any unhappy things, you can talk to me, brother. Maybe I can provide you with some solutions."

There was undisguised worry in his voice.

"Don't be alone... There is always a solution to any problem."

"Think about your parents, your family, and your friends. They probably wouldn't want you to be like this."

"Ah...I'm sorry, I'm not what you think."

Xi Wang was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up, smiled and waved his hand... This man probably thought he was a teenager who wanted to commit suicide after getting into trouble.

But if you think about it carefully, a person is caught in the rain in this kind of weather, sitting in a quiet, deserted, and somewhat dangerous place... It's worrying no matter how you look at it.

I just prefer rainy days, and I want to find a quiet place to stay for a while... I'm sorry to make you worry."

Xi Wang spoke politely.

"I'm sorry to bother you... I'll be back soon."

"Is that so? That's good..."

He seemed to be relieved, and then looking at Xi Wang who looked like he was fished out of the sea, he handed the other umbrella in his hand to Xi Wang without much hesitation.

"Don't keep getting wet in the rain. It's not good for your health... Let me use this umbrella to protect you for a while."

"Ah, no need..."

"Take it, just think of it as a gift from me, it's not worth much anyway."

He stuffed the umbrella directly into Xi Wang's hand and did not forget to urge him.

"Brother, you should also go home early, take a hot shower, and have a good rest. Don't catch a cold or anything. If you have any difficulties, tell your family or friends... If it doesn't work, tell me. Anyway, we don't know each other. You talk and I listen. You can relieve some of the burden, and I can also listen to a story. It's all good, isn't it? Don't keep it to yourself!"

Then, as if he was afraid that Xi Wang would go back on his word, he quickly ran away, waving and shouting at Xi Wang.

"My contact number is (a string of numbers). If you have anything that makes you unhappy, just tell me about it. Just like making a new friend!"

"...Well, thank you."

Xiwang opened her mouth and wanted to call him, but he ran away after a while, his figure disappeared in the rain, and even Xiwang's thanks were not heard.

"........."

Xi Wang looked at the umbrella in his hand, smiled helplessly, opened it to block the rain falling from the sky, and at the same time turned around to look at the sea covered by the rain.

"See you next time..."

He seemed to be saying goodbye to someone, then turned around, holding an umbrella, and walked towards the hotel where he was staying in the rain.

…………

After parting with Xiwang, the kind-hearted young man hurried to reunite with his companions.

"Hey, why are you late again?"

Seeing that he was out of breath and his trouser legs, shoes and socks were all wet, his companions patted him on the shoulder half-jokingly.

"I saw a brother who I cared about on the road, so we chatted for a while."

"Oh my goodness...someone committed suicide?"

"I thought that was the case, so I went up to him and had a quick chat, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding..."

"Oh, it's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding."

The companions were relieved.

"Hey, but you said you would bring an umbrella? Why did you only bring one in the end?"

"Give it to that guy just now. It's not worth much anyway."

He said it casually, and then there was a hint of strangeness on his face, and he spoke in a voice that only he could hear.

"And I don't know why, but I always feel like I'm giving that umbrella back to him..."

"Hey, what? Did you steal someone else's umbrella before?"

"Be careful or I'll sue you for libel. I've never stolen anything."

"Alright, alright, stop joking. It's just an umbrella, right? Just give it to me. It's great if it can help people. Besides, it's just an umbrella. We can just buy another one later."

"That's right, and maybe the rain will stop when we go out at night?"

"Alright, alright, have fun now. Cherish this rare vacation. You won't be so relaxed in the future. Oh, by the way, have you found a job yet?"

"No, I don't know what to do..."

"My mentor here recommended one to me."

"Oh, sure. That's awesome."

"You, have you made up your mind? You are the best student here. Are there any big companies that want you? Or do you want to start your own business?"

His companions pushed his arm and asked with a smile.

"Uh...I haven't decided yet, but I would like to try to start my own business."

He shrugged and spoke helplessly.

"You guys will have to help out more when the time comes."

"You really want to start a business... It's very difficult, right? You need to be more careful and don't get cheated."

"Hey, we are all still young, it's normal to suffer a little loss... If you really can't make it, you can make a living by delivering takeout."

I don't know who said this half-jokingly.

"Yes."

He also smiled and responded casually.

"At worst I can just deliver food, at least I can make a living."

…………

………………

Before we knew it, the vacation was over and the students welcomed the new semester.

In the top universities of Mu Continent, two new and interesting things happened.

The first one, of course, was that the talented young man with the wonderful pun suddenly changed his subject and went to the medical school... Although many students found it difficult to understand, they didn't care too much. After all, everyone had heard about it a long time ago.

But after it actually happened, I was still a little surprised... It's really hard to understand how someone would give up their bright future and go to study another subject.

And I heard that he has taught himself many other subjects and his grades seem pretty good... Is this a genius? It's too amazing, right?

Secondly, there was another talented girl who passed the exam with impressive results. And don't forget, this was not the semester for freshmen to enroll. In other words... she was admitted as a transfer student, and the school made an exception to admit such a student.

It can be said that she is on par with Xi Wang, except that she applied for mechanical engineering... and I heard that she is quite good-looking, which attracted the attention of many senior students.

...What's wrong? Is it strange to have a senior sister paying attention to me? Girls also like pretty and cute girls!

It's just that this new genius girl gave everyone a big job on the first day of school...

Bang!

The bell for the end of get out of class had just rang, and the teacher and students who had just finished the materials science course looked towards the classroom door in confusion.

What caught the eye was the two-toned fluffy hair with distinct colors, the impressive figure that had not yet fully grown but could already be seen, and... the face that was obviously a little more childish than the others.

"Surprise! Xiwang! I, Wei Erwei, am here to see you! Didn't expect that?"

Wei Erwei blocked the door with slightly exaggerated movements. While speaking in a flamboyant tone, she glanced at the people in the classroom, looking for the person she was looking for.

"Look! I, Weiwei, can do what you can do! Let's have a happy campus life from now on! I will let you know that I am also very...powerful...?"

"...where are the people?"

After looking around two or three times, Wei Liwei didn't see Xi Wang, and her tone gradually slowed down and became awkward.

"Uh...Vilvi...right?"

The teacher, who had just adjusted the lecture notes, looked at Wei Wei with a barely perceptible smile on his lips and spoke slowly.

"You're looking for classmate Xiwang, right?"
