Momang Palace in the early morning.

"Are you sure Villette will come so early?" Leosley asked as he sat on the steps.

After dealing with the bomb last night, it was not far from dawn. After sending the children back to school, Heidi suggested going directly to the entrance of Momang Palace to wait for Naviette to go to work and hand over the work.

"Of course, I've seen him several times." Heidi ate bubble oranges with a look of certainty. Thinking of the scene when she and Navia Clorinde first guessed his working hours, she couldn't help but smile. The word "workaholic" is not an empty word.

"Did you all agree to meet in the early morning?" Leosley saw Heidi laughing foolishly alone. People underwater don't understand the operations on the water.

"It was by chance. It's easiest to meet Lord Villette when the first rays of sunlight shine down."

"Well, I envy the jobs on the water. The sun can't shine into Melo Petersburg." Leosley sighed.

"No, I think there is sunshine in Mellow Petersburg."

"Refraction of light?"

"Don't you know?" Heidi looked at Leosley and said seriously, "You are the big sun, shining the evil under the light."

"Yeah, Bubble Orange is magical. Everything I say becomes sweeter after eating it." Leosli folded his arms, leaned back slightly, and couldn't hide the smile in the corners of his eyes.

"Of course it's sweet when it's from the heart," Heidi muttered softly.

When the sun rose from the horizon like a bubble orange, Villette came from afar as if blending into the laws of nature.

"How about it? Super punctual." Heidi stood up with a smile and welcomed the arrival of the dedicated justice.

"It's reassuring to have Villette in charge of Fontaine." Leosli stood up and stood at the door of the Momang Palace. He always respected Villette, and his current position was inseparable from his support and help.

"Good morning, Leosley, Heidi." Villette looked at the two people at the door.

"Good morning, Lord Villet, please come in." The two men pushed the door open, one on each side, and respectfully gestured for him to come in.

"Isn't this too much hospitality?" Villette was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the two people.

"No, as a Fontaine native, I feel very lucky to have such a professional and dedicated chief justice governing this city-state." Heidi smiled and said, "Please come in."

That Villette looked to Leosley for help.

"I think so too. I think everyone thinks so." Leosley smiled.

"Then I'll be sorry to refuse." Villette smiled and stepped into the Momang Palace.

Being recognized and expected is always a happy thing.

"The Fontaine bombing case can now be declared over." Navrette finished reading the report and said, "Thank you for your efforts."

"The subsidy still needs to go through the process. Although it's not much, it's better than nothing." Navilette said, "However, Mo Mang Palace cannot reimburse your expenses on the ship, Leosli."

"Well, this was agreed upon before we boarded the ship. I have no objection." Leosley lowered his head slightly and looked at Heidi beside him. "I think this mission is very interesting."

Heidi followed his gaze and smiled, "I think it's interesting, too."

"You two seem to be getting along very well." The two of them created a barrier between them. Even Shui Long, who was not very good at understanding people, felt that something was different. "Did something happen on the boat?"

"A lot of things happened." Heidi wanted to speak, but the perverted list, the scene in the bar, and the drugging came to her mind. She still couldn't tell him about this, as she felt it might lead Xiaolonglong astray.

As he thought about it, his face turned red.

"Well, a lot of things happened, it's always... full of challenges." Leosley thought about it, and his ears slowly turned red.

……

Fontaine, Café.

"Treasure, treasure, let's go find treasure!" After reporting her work, Heidi was already sitting at the agreed location, waiting for Kaeya and Diluk to arrive.

"Why are you so sure that the coordinates given by the rich man are the treasure?" Leosley sat opposite and found Heidi's excited expression amusing.

"I like to think of unknown things as treasures, because treasures represent good things." Heidi is like a devout believer, "This belief can give me infinite strength and let me get there eventually."

"Yeah, that's a very optimistic attitude. I appreciate it."

"Hehe, since you appreciate it, I'll give you some optimism." She grabbed a handful of air and sprinkled it on Leosley's head. "Because of your work, you always come into contact with a lot of criminals. There are too many evil sides of human nature. In the future, when you encounter unhappy things, use optimism to dilute them."

Leosley asked with a smile: "If you share it with me, you will have less."

"No, you become happy and share your happiness with me." Heidi explained, "In this way, we are both optimistic and happy."

Leosley looked at Heidi quietly, savoring these words. For a boy who had been fighting underwater since childhood, fists seemed to be the hard currency.

Everyone underwater only knows that they must not offend others, and no one seems to care whether they are happy or not. After all, in such an underwater environment, survival may be more important.

Heidi's words always taste like orange jelly, with a unique sweetness. It is completely different from the cold metallic feeling of Mello Petersburg.

"Hey, let me see where that stupid goose came from." Kaia smiled and patted Leosley's shoulder.

"You're here." Leosley came back to his senses, "Heidi can't wait."

"Diluk has gone to rent a small boat. I'll take this opportunity to complete the story." Kaia pulled a chair and sat down.

Next, Kaeya told a fairy tale: "Mora of Time", which was told to them by Diluk's father.

Teacher Tuo Shou drew a blank clock on the blackboard and said, "Everyone, please draw your favorite time on it."

The little sparrow came up and drew it at 6 o'clock. "This is the time when my family and I sing in the morning every day. The sun will rise from the horizon. I think it is beautiful."

The little wild boar came up and drew it at three o'clock in the afternoon. "This is the time for our family to have afternoon tea. I like it very much."

The little fox came up and drew it at eight o'clock in the morning. "It's time to go to school with my good friend the little rabbit. It's fun to talk and laugh with him."

Teacher Tuoshou said: "Everyone's favorite time has its special meaning because of companionship. This is one of the meanings of time."

the next day.

The little fox invited the little rabbit to his home at 12 o'clock. The little rabbit, his good friend, arrived an hour early. The little fox was embarrassed to go in early and chose to sit outside the door until 12 o'clock.

This one hour made it feel particularly long.

After entering, it played with the little fox for the whole afternoon, eating desserts and playing games together. When they parted, it lamented how the afternoon passed so quickly.

It turns out that when you are waiting for someone special, time passes very slowly; but when you are with someone you love, time goes very quickly. Your mood is different, and time is different. This is another meaning of time.
