A month's holiday, like Star Luo City the short warm sunshine in winter, is fleeting.
For Yin Chen, this time is a rare moment of comfort and relaxation.
He reunited with his former friends, and under Xu Yun's strong protest, he accompanied her and sisters Dai Luoli and Lan Susu for a whole day of fun in the city.
However, most of the time, he was with Xu Jiujiu.
They would read ancient books together in the royal library. She would explain to him the unknown secret history of the Star Luo Empire, and he would share with her Shrek Academy's wild theories and insights.
They would also walk side by side in the courtyard of the Snow-Listening Pavilion at dusk, watching the setting sun make the shadow of the old plum tree slant.
Sometimes, they don't say anything, just stay together quietly, and feel that the years are peaceful.
This month is enough time for many things to be settled.
The ambiguous feelings that had long gone beyond friendship quietly fermented and heated up as we got along day after day. Finally, on a night with Xiao Xue floating in the air, it became completely clear with a kiss on the lips that had the coolness of snowflakes.
Xu Jiujiu, has officially become Yin Chen's girlfriend.
When Xu Yun heard the news, his expression was wonderful.
She first showed a look of understanding, as if I had known this would happen, and then her face dropped, and with a bit of depression, she punched Yin Chen hard:
"Okay Yin Chen, I treat you as a friend, but you want to be my uncle?"
She counted her seniority with her fingers and looked sad and angry:
"You have become my aunt's boyfriend... then I will really be a generation younger than you in the future? No, I can't call you uncle."
Seeing her crazy and helpless look, Yin Chen and Xu Jiujiu couldn't help laughing.
The day of departure finally arrived.
Shrek Academy's first day of school is approaching, and Yin Chen must make his way home.
In the early morning, outside the door of the Snow-Listening Pavilion, the cold air has not yet dissipated, and the breath of passers-by turned into a cloud of white mist.
Xu Jiujiu and Uncle Hui came to see him off.
Uncle Hui stood not far away, with a heartfelt smile on his face. Seeing his young master and Her Royal Highness the princess standing together, she felt that they were absolutely right.
While waiting for sister Lan Family, Yin Chen turned to look at Xu Jiujiu beside her.
Today she was wearing a lavender dress with a thick white fox fur cloak, which further enhanced her appearance and graceful temperament.
"Jiujiu sister."
Yin Chen's lips curved into a familiar, slightly cunning smile.
He blinked his eyes, his voice not loud but full of hints.
"I'm leaving soon, why don't you say something?"
After speaking, he even stretched out his finger and lightly tapped his lips.
Xu Jiujiu heard this, his cheeks heated up slightly, and he rolled his eyes at him angrily.
Over the past month, she had already become accustomed to his straightforward and slightly evil teasing.
The amorous look in that glance, far from having the slightest power, was more like a shy response to rejection.
She didn't say much, she just took a step forward, stretched out her arms and put her arms around Yin Chen's neck.
Although Yin Chen is still young, his figure has grown rapidly in the past year and has surpassed Xu Jiujiu.
This intimate gesture forced her to stand on her tiptoes slightly and completely surrender her body's center of gravity to him.
Seeing this, Uncle Hui on the side immediately showed a kind smile that I didn't see anything. He turned around very wisely and admired the ancient masonry patterns on the city wall in the distance.
The soft lips pressed against her, bringing with them the coolness of the morning and the unique elegant fragrance of her body.
It was just a gentle touch at first, but soon, with Yin Chen's active response, the kiss quickly deepened.
The surrounding noise and cold seemed to fade away at this moment, and the world became quiet and warm, leaving only the blending breath and the faster and faster heartbeat.
After a full minute, Yin Chen reluctantly let go of Xu Jiujiu, who was already out of breath.
She leaned in his arms, calming her disordered breathing, a touching blush appeared on her cheeks, and her eyes moved as if covered with a layer of water vapor, making her look even more charming and charming.
Yin Chen looked down at her like this, and his heart felt hot.
He leaned close to her red ear and whispered in a magnetic voice with a hint of hoarseness that only the two of them could hear:
"Sister Jiujiu, let's try something more interesting next time..."
"Okay."
Xu Jiujiu Feeling the warm breath coming from his ears, his body trembled slightly, but surprisingly he did not refuse.
She raised her head and met Yin Chen's burning eyes, and a provocative smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"However, we have to wait until you are an adult."
Of course she knew what he said was more interesting.
She is not the kind of coy and passive character. Yin Chen's directness and initiative coincide exactly with her deep-rooted character.
In this month, two active people meet together and have experienced almost everything a couple should do, except for the last and most important step.
As for that last step, Xu Jiujiu has his own persistence.
Her words made Yin Chen Xin feel a little depressed.
People with the Douluo Continent, because of the nourishment of Soul Power, their bodies generally mature prematurely.
Whether it is his mind or body, he is no longer comparable to his peers in his previous life.
Facing such a stunning beauty like Xu Jiujiu who combines wisdom, beauty and power, facing each other day and night, he can still hold on to his last sanity, which is the best proof of his strong willpower.
The hormones in the body that belong to adolescents are often like boiling lava, clamoring to break through the dam of reason.
But he knew very well that he couldn't do that.
With his current strength, if he really wants to use force, Xu Jiujiu, who is a support type Soul King, simply cannot resist.
He also knew that she might not resist fiercely, but that respect and cherishment were far more important than a momentary impulse.
He also agreed with her words that some of the best things are worth waiting patiently for.
After all, the River Crab God is everywhere, so it's better to be careful.
He didn't want to be unable to continue writing future stories because of impulsiveness.
A month's vacation is just a blink of an eye in Soul Master's long life, but for young girls and boys, it is enough for many stories to happen and to settle many emotions.
When the last chill of winter was driven away by the warm breeze of early spring, Shrek Academy, this behemoth located in the center of the continent, woke up again and burst out with unparalleled vitality.
The new semester of Shrek City is very lively.
Although its prosperity cannot be compared with Ming Capital, the technological capital of the Sun Moon Empire, as one of the most important economic and academic centers on the Douluo Continent, its unique charm is irreplaceable.
