The days passed by in a hurry.
This morning, the sea breeze seemed to carry a hint of the saltiness of farewell.
After Li Qing put all his things into Soul Tool, he took one last look around the room where he had lived for twelve years.
From an ignorant child to a young man about to travel far away, this place holds too many memories for him.
The tranquility and majesty of the Sea God Hall, the sometimes gentle and sometimes shy face of Bo Saixi, and the Mysterious Origin Water-Controlling Flag who is always by your side...
Everything seems like yesterday.
Gently closing the door, Li Qing took a deep breath and stepped out of the hall.
Farewell always makes people a little sad, but more importantly, it is the expectation of the unknown continent and a hint of excitement about entering the world.
However, as soon as he walked out of the corridor of the side hall, a familiar silhouette that made his heartbeat inexplicably speed up stood quietly under the sun-filled pillars in front of him.
It's Bo Saixi.
But today she is completely different from usual.
She did not wear the bright red robe trimmed with gold, which symbolized the majesty and sanctity of High Priestess, nor did she wear the gorgeous golden crown.
She put on an extremely simple white dress. The skirt was soft and close-fitting, without any unnecessary patterns, but it vividly outlined her tall, graceful and concave figure.
The long sea-blue hair was not pulled up as meticulously as usual, but was spread smoothly on the shoulders, with the tips of the hair gently blowing in the breeze.
The sunlight fell on her body through the gaps in the corridor columns, coating her with a warm halo. Her beautiful face looked even more thrilling under the soft light, a little less majestic than in the past, and a little more soft and mature.
She just stood there quietly, as if she had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Li Qing coming out, her blue eyes as deep as the ocean moved slightly, and her ethereal voice had an imperceptible tremor:
"Ready?"
Li Qing looked at Bo Saixi, who was completely different from usual and breathtakingly beautiful, and his heart palpitated inexplicably.
He calmed down, nodded, and tried to sound as relaxed as possible, "Well, you're ready, sister."
Bo Saixi nodded slightly, his eyes lingering on his face for a moment, as if he wanted to carve his appearance deeper.
She was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "Is there anything else you want? Or... is there anything else you want to say to sister?"
Her tone was very soft, with a kind of tenderness that is unique to elders when bidding farewell to younger ones, mixed with a little reluctance and concern.
Although the words Li Qing usually said were a bit annoying and embarrassing, when she really left, she realized that she felt a little empty inside.
It seemed that I was used to having such a living treasure around me.
After all, before this, she was basically alone, and the rules on Sea God Island were very strict.
Li Qing also fell silent after hearing this.
He tilted his head and seemed to be really thinking seriously.
After a moment, his eyes involuntarily fell back on Bo Saixi, lingering on that perfect face and figure with unabashed admiration.
Noticing Li Qing's eyes that were almost glued to her, Bo Saixi's delicate body trembled almost undetectably, a trace of vigilance and solemnity flashed across her beautiful face, and even her breathing was slightly stagnant.
[This kid... could he be a demon before leaving? No way... he agreed to go to the mainland with Qian Renxue...]
Bo Saixi's heart was ringing with alarm bells, fearing that he would have some shocking thoughts or demands.
However, Li Qing just grinned, showing a bright and even childish smile, and said with a smile, "Sister, it will take several years for me to come back after I leave. If you... can't see me, don't be too sad, and take care of yourself."
Bo Saixi: "..."
The feeling of separation that had just arisen in her heart was instantly washed away by Li Qing's extremely narcissistic words, leaving only a lot of speechlessness.
She glanced at him angrily, and her voice regained some of its former coldness. "Don't worry, sister, I will try my best to restrain myself and try to... not be so 'sad'."
Li Qing didn't seem to hear the ridicule in her words.
He took two steps forward and came to Bo Saixi, opening his arms with an expectant smile on his face, "Sister, before you leave, give me a big hug! Consider it a farewell gift!"
This request made Bo Saixi stunned again.
She looked at the clear eyes of Li Qing, and thought that she had watched this child grow up after all. This trip, the return date was not yet determined, and the softness in her heart was touched again.
Maybe... he just wanted to say goodbye with a hug from a loved one?
It's because I think too much.
Thinking like this, Bo Saixi relaxed his vigilance a little.
She sighed softly, nodded, and softened her voice. "That's fine. It's been years since I've been here, so be careful along the way."
After saying that, she took the initiative to stretch out her arms, gently put her arms around Li Qing's shoulders, and hugged him into her arms.
Li Qing also hugged Bo Saixi's slender but tall waist, and buried his face in her lightly fragrant shoulder and neck.
[Wow... My sister smells so good. It's not the kind of powdery fragrance, it seems to be the smell of sea breeze mixed with sunshine...]
[The body is so soft and comfortable to hold... just as expected, no, better than imagined!]
[It's over, it's over... I seem to... like her more again, what should I do?]
Just when Bo Saixi thought this was just a simple farewell hug, and just when a hint of relief and reluctance filled her heart, Li Qing's familiar voice sounded like a magic sound filling her ears, clearly ringing in her mind again!
Bo Saixi's delicate body trembled uncontrollably again!
Her beautiful face was once again stained with a touching blush, spreading from her cheeks to her ears and neck!
This time, she wasn't as shy as usual, or trying to push Li Qing away.
She just hugged him quietly, feeling the boy's embrace that was not wide but warm enough. What surged in her heart was a deep sense of despair and powerlessness that almost suffocated her.
[It's over... it's all over now...]
[This kid... simply... can't change!]
Bo Saixi lamented in his heart.
No matter how she hinted, how she avoided, she even made an engagement for him and "pushed" him to Qian Renxue...
The boy's deep yearning for her never seemed to weaken, but intensified at this moment of separation!
She could even feel that her originally peaceful inner lake had ripples that shouldn't have occurred because of this hug and these few words.
After a while, the two of them let go of their hands.
Bo Saixi has quickly subsided the blush on his face and returned to his usual elegant and dignified appearance, but there is still a trace of unnoticeable complexity deep in his eyes.
"Let's go, don't keep them waiting too long." She turned around and walked out of the hall first. Her back was still upright and elegant, but her pace seemed a little faster than usual.
Li Qing rubbed his nose and followed quickly.
