"Yeah, she told me it was someone Texas and I both knew, but she didn't say who it was specifically, saying we'd know when we send the person off... Hey, don't talk about me, talk about yourself." Angel of Exorcism turned to look at Chen An: "I heard from Skadi that you have been looking around suspiciously these days. Could it be that you have been to the Lower City too many times to see those patients with Originium Disease and got infected with Originium Disease, and your brain is in trouble?" Her words were blunt, but her concern was hard to conceal. "Although I feel a little sorry for the people in the Lower Town, I would advise you not to go to the Lower Town anymore. It's not enough to make money from treating patients, sometimes you even have to pay for it yourself. I know you're a good person, but what's the point of doing this all the time? If someone is really infected with Originium Disease by accident, what will you do to Skadi?" Texas rarely responded: "I think so too." It’s not that they don’t have good intentions, but after spending more than half a year together, both of them feel that Chen An is more important than the people in the slums. "What nonsense are you talking about." Chen An rolled his eyes at Angel Energy, but avoided her advice: "I'm not always suspicious, I just always feel that someone is thinking about me." "Remembering?" "Yes, and it's not just ordinary concern." Speaking of this, Chen An couldn't help but want to pour out his bitterness: "That feeling is like walking on the road, and suddenly find yourself walking on a bridge, and there are ferocious beasts on both sides of the bridge. That's fine, but when you look down, you see the water Skadi under the bridge staring at you. It's so scary."

Both Exorcist and Miss Texas were shocked. The water under the bridge was Scars. What kind of weird metaphor is this? After complaining for a while, Chen An suddenly became proud: "But later, I thought about the fact that I could fly, and that feeling wasn't scary at all. If I can't walk forward, backward, or downward, I can't walk in the sky, right? Aneng, you have wings, but you can't fly." The Archangel was furious: "What do you mean by that..." Before Archangel Angel could finish venting her anger, Skadi, who had been swimming happily in the water, came ashore and ran over. "Chen An, let's go swimming together." She pulled at her swimsuit, shook her breasts, then pulled Chen An away. ...... Skatti took Chen An away, leaving only Exia and Texas on the shore. Exia was cursing, still angry that Chen An had complained about her being a monster. Texas watched Skadi and Chen An enter the water. Texas said: "Aneng, are you really not going to Checheng?" "What's the point of going there? Isn't it better to go with croissants?" Although she knew that the job Texas mentioned about going to Che City was not the same as the one he mentioned before, Angelica still looked nonchalant. She rolled her eyes, cursed Chen An, and said casually, "I joined Penguin Logistics just to make money. I don't make money to support my family, but to buy games, comics, delicious food, and live a happy life." "If the emperor had told me half a year earlier... no, even if he had only told me a few months earlier that he wanted me to leave Longmen and go to Qie City as a liaison, I would have listened to him. But now? No way." Texas said meaningfully: "Raise the salary." "What's the use of a raise? Money can't buy my happiness." Miss Aneng curled her lips and said, "It's like asking me to separate from you in exchange for a raise. I don't want to do that. Besides, who will cook for me when I go to Qie City? I have been in Longmen for so many years, and I have never seen anyone who cooks better than Chen An. There is no one in Longmen, so I don’t think there will be one in Qie City. The game is also... humph, no matter how I play, I always lose, I have never won once. I have never suffered such a big injustice in my life. I don't even think about leaving if I don't win once!" Speaking of this, Angel couldn't help but look bitter and resentful.

"Is that right?" "What else can I do... Hey, where are the people?" The Archangel raised the sun visor on his nose and looked at the lake in surprise. Texas also looked towards the lake when he heard the sound. The lake was calm, and Chen An and Skadi were nowhere to be seen. ...... Chapter 10: Sugar, sweet sugar The blue water of the lake is cool and clear. Immersed in it, the feeling of moistness enveloped the whole body, and the scorching heat of midsummer disappeared in an instant. Skadi is a deep-sea hunter from the ocean, accustomed to living in water. The humid sea breeze, the salty sea water, the endless blue sea, the world she once lived in and missed have now become memories. How to describe that feeling? It was like the fish suddenly came to the ground, and the living environment changed drastically, becoming unfamiliar. Being forced to live in a strange place, I became confused and depressed. Skadi missed everything about the sea, especially for a period of time. She always felt that everything about her life at sea was wonderful before she came ashore. Although she was fighting all the time, she had companions, and those days were the happiest time. She wanted to share those with the people she loved. But later, she changed her mind. Pulling Chen An to swim in the water, the two came to the center of the lake. The sunlight falls on the lake, making the waves sparkle. At first glance, it looks like the lake is glowing. Skadi swam around Chen An like a mermaid, laughing with a bright and cheerful smile. Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed Chen An, and after saying "inhale", she pulled him into the water. The world under water is completely different from the world above water. Except for the close proximity of each other, everything seemed shaky, hazy and dreamy. Pulling Chen An, they dived into the water to a depth of five or six meters in one breath. Skadi raised her finger and pointed above her head, motioning Chen An to look up. The water ripples, and the light shines into the water obliquely and is bent, turning into thousands of psychedelic colors and spreading out. There were two mermaids swimming in it, with red and black scales attached to their private parts - they were Exia and Texas, who jumped into the water fearing that their friend was drowning. "Chen An." Skadi called out the name of her beloved in front of her, and her voice merged into the water, rolling and rising with the bubbles, flying into the sky. No sound can be heard in the water, but Chen An seemed to have heard Skadi's call. He lowered his head and met her gaze.

There was light in the scarlet eyes, and in the light was him. Skadi likes Chen An, and she expresses this love more through actions and rarely through words. The most intuitive manifestation is that the boldest confession Skadi and Chen An have ever made is simply "I like you and want to be with you." "I love you." With her body surrounded by water and in this silent world, Skadi became brave. She looked at Chen An tenderly, then opened her arms and hugged him, holding his waist with both hands, her face against his chest, listening to his heartbeat. "I want to go back to the sea, but I want to be with you even more. The days with you are so happy, Chen An, can we stay together forever?" The water surface is the sky and the lake is the clouds. In the clouds filled with myriad colors and where the sound disappeared, the man seemed to hear the girl's confession. He opened his mouth and his expression became helpless and gentle. He held Skadi's shoulders and back with his backhand, and rested his chin lightly on her forehead, thinking to himself: I really can't do anything about you. Under the sparkling water, the scene is like a dream. ...... As the sun set, the four returned to Longmen, and their vacation came to an end. After having dinner at Chen An's house, Angel Energy stayed and dragged Chen An to play games. It was not until late at night that she was dragged away by Texas cursing - she lost the game badly again that night. The next morning, after having breakfast at Chen An's house and packing his luggage at home, the Angel of Power swaggered into Chen An's room. Chen An is sleeping... Don't get me wrong, he is not sleeping until now. He just finished making breakfast and eating, and found that he had nothing to do so he went back to his room to take a nap. Hanging a bunch of keys on the door handle, Angel of Energy knocked on the door with his hand to remind Chen An that he was here, and said in a loud voice: "Little Chenzi, your big sister Aneng and I are going to Che City to deliver goods today. When we are away, our family will leave the old rules to you. Remember to help clean up every day." Chen An, who was woken up, sat up and glared at her unhappily. Why did she have to specifically mention such a thing? Wouldn't it be better to just put the key on the kitchen table? "Also, Texas and I both have some underwear and pantyhose in our rooms that we didn't take away. Don't have any weird thoughts and do anything weird with our things." After thinking about it, I felt that this was not a good idea. How could I ask someone to help me clean the house but not want to give any benefits? So he changed the subject and said reluctantly, "Forget it. Since you are a young and energetic man, I, Aneng, am so charming and have such a good relationship with you. If you really have any desires that cannot be vented, then I and Texas's things will lend you some. But remember to wash them after use, and don't tell us, because we still need to wear those clothes in the future." Chen An: “…” “——Get lost! What do you think I am, you shameless little girl? Get lost now!” With Chen An's angry shout, the farewell that was not sad at all ended. The dirty-mouthed Miss Angel was kicked out of the door by him, and the innocent Texas was also affected. Standing at the door, looking at Texas who had a sullen look on his face, Archangel Exia couldn't help but laugh dryly. ......

A few days passed. I have to say, once you get used to being with Angelica, who is full of energy, good at finding fun, and never seems to be bored when you are with her, you will suddenly feel lonely and bored when you are separated from her. ......This is what other people think, but Chen An thinks the opposite. No one would rush to drag him to play games when they saw he had nothing to do, and curse him when he lost; No one would come over to harass you before mealtime, asking what you want to eat, whether you have this or that, which makes you wonder if they are so bored that they have memorized a menu and come here to cause trouble; No one gets excited when hearing about a game conference or comic convention, grabbing their wallet and running faster than a rabbit, not only running fast by themselves, but also dragging others to run fast together; No one... Chen An does not hate the hustle and bustle, on the contrary he likes it very much. However, while he likes the lively life, he is also quite lazy. He will never hang around if he can stand, never stand if he can sit, and never sit if he can lie down. He will just slack off whenever he can. His dream is to sleep forty-eight hours a day - twenty-four hours in reality and another twenty-four hours in dreams. Of course, because there were always so many things going on, his dreams never came true. Even the daily slacking off... Well, if Skadi is considered a fish, then it can be said that there is daily slacking off. Under such circumstances, during the days when the Angels were away, Chen An not only did not feel bored or lonely, but instead felt extremely comfortable. It would have been better if Texas and the others could have come back a few days later. Chen An felt so emotional. Just at this time. The door of the room opened quietly, and Skadi revealed half of her face, secretly observing Chen An who was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV. After watching for a while, she opened the door, tiptoed to the sofa, covered Chen An's eyes with her hands, and asked playfully: "Guess who I am?" I thought Chen Anneng had guessed it was me, but I didn't expect his answer to be like this: "Anen, how old are you? You're not a child anymore. Can you stop being so naughty?" Skadi: "......" She said angrily, "It's not Aneng, you guessed wrong on purpose, right?" Nonsense, you are the only one in the house, and your voice hasn't changed at all. If I didn't guess wrong on purpose, what else could it be? Muttering to himself, Chen An continued to play tricks: "Rich woman, I haven't seen you for a few days. How come you are as naughty as Aneng? Who did you learn this from?" Skadi puffed up her cheeks, looking as cute as a pufferfish that had expanded under pressure: "You are not Shi Huaiya. If you continue to be like this, I will be angry!" Some people want to say just be angry if you want to, but then think about it, forget it. If you tease her too much, she might get angry and run back to her room and hide, and then I will have to coax her, which is too troublesome. Chen An said with a smile: "I was just teasing you, why are you taking it so seriously, Didi." Didi is Skadi's nickname. Chen An occasionally calls her that, but of course not often. Skadi really liked Chen An calling her by her nickname. When she heard him call her Didi, she was no longer angry. Taking off the hand covering Chen An's eyes and hugging his neck instead, Skadi leaned forward, pressed down on the sofa, and used her chest to give Chen An heavy pressure on the back of his head: "It's so boring at home, let's go out and play, okay?"

"Aneng left and you came again. Can't you let me stay at home and be lazy for a few days?" Chen An complained, but actually agreed immediately: "Okay. I haven't bought you many clothes since I came to Longmen. I'll go buy you some clothes." "Ah." Skadi smiled, and her eyes curved into beautiful crescents. ......
