The Lone Wolf of Tomorrow's Ark

"Okay, by the way, there are some shoes of acceptable quality over there. They are not expensive commodities. If you don't mind, you can pick two pairs and treat them as gifts."

After speaking, Kachel casually wrote a few notes on the bill, then ran to the corner and brought a bunch of shoe boxes over, saying:

"These are miscellaneous brands left over from previous sales. Because the heat is over and there are no sales channels, I hoard them. I tried them and the quality is not bad. Look for them if you like them, and I'll find them for you later. A few outfits to match."

"Okay, thank you."

Watching the store manager go to pick out clothes, Phoenix looked at Texas, who seemed not used to the high collar and was gently pulling the sweater collar, walked up to her in embarrassment, without waiting for Texas to say anything, directly He reached out and pulled Texas into his arms.

"Yeah! Brother... Brother?"

Phoenix's move really startled Dexas, but after being startled, her heart was pounding with joy that was about to burst out, and she was so fast that she wondered if it would happen in the next second. I'm going to jump out.

Seeing Texas looking up at him from his arms, Phoenix couldn't help but turn his head aside in embarrassment, and said:

"I have nothing to do. I just saw you wearing this outfit, Lina, and suddenly wanted to hug you, and then... that's what I did."

After listening to Phoenix's words that sound like love words, the blush on Dexa's cheeks spread out without disappointment, and his body temperature rose by about five degrees at once, as if he didn't want Phoenix to see him blushing, Dexa Si hurriedly buried his face in Phoenix's arms, put his hands through Phoenix's armpits, and also embraced him, whispering:

"Woo~ brother, you are really too cunning to say that suddenly."

"Um...is there?"

Feeling the hot air hitting Texas' chest one after another when he breathed, Phoenix's face turned red, and he carefully looked at Kachel, who was still looking for clothes, and said:

"Let's pick out the shoes first, the store manager is still here."

"……Um."

Nodding his head, Texas seemed to let go of Phoenix reluctantly, lowered his head and began to rummage through the pile of shoes absent-mindedly.

Phoenix saw Texas like this, and his thoughts became firm again, but it was not the time to say it, so he calmed down and began to concentrate on choosing shoes for Texas:

'Well... Lina usually performs messenger tasks, and the heels are too high, which will hinder her movements, so she can only focus on flat soles and wear-resistant types. In addition, breathability and aesthetics must also be considered... '

After rummaging and trying on clothes, the two spent more than three hours, and it was already night when they came out of the clothing store.

"I didn't expect it to be so late. I left a note for them in Lapland. Don't worry, Lina, let's find a place to eat first?"

"Ah."

Ever since he was hugged once from the clothing store, Texas has always maintained this absent-minded look, asking everything just 'um' and 'oh', which made Phoenix and Kachel embarrassing when trying on clothes.

Seeing that Texas is still in this posture, Phoenix sighed, found a bench, let Texas sit down, and said:

"I'm going to buy some fast food or something, please wait for me for a while."

"Well, hurry up and come back."

Seeing that Phoenix was about to leave, Texas was more or less out of the state just now, but he still had a slightly flushed expression of not knowing what he was thinking.

Twenty minutes later, the two of them were holding a bun and eating slowly, as if they were thinking about something, they just ate the bun in silence, without saying a word, however, at this moment...

"Chirp-boom!"

With a slightly piercing sound, a huge firework exploded over the city, blooming a beautiful flower in the dark night, and as the first firework bloomed, one after another flew up to the sky. It exploded in the air, and it was too beautiful to behold.

"Wow! Will there be fireworks at night?"

"Not really."

"Ok?"

Probably due to the strong attraction of the fireworks, Dexas got out of the strange state just now, and whispered to Phoenix.

"Tomorrow night, Longmen will become a city that never sleeps for only one day. Almost all the residents of Longmen will have a carnival all night, and tonight is the eve of Requiem Night. There will be more or less rich people joining in the fun and setting off fireworks. Yes, it’s like this every year, brother, come with me, let’s go to the viewing platform.”

After finishing speaking, Texas grabbed Phoenix's hand and ran to the viewing platform closest to Pacific Place. For some reason, there was no one on the viewing platform at this time, so Phoenix simply took off his hood , Leaning on the railing with Texas, watching the fireworks fly out of the city and explode.

"Brother...Brother, do you remember the first time we foolishly counted the stars together?"

Watching the fireworks, Texas took a deep breath, and asked Phoenix in a low voice, and Phoenix replied with a smile:

"Heh, why don't I remember? At that time, I was forcibly dragged out of the warm bed by you, ran to the yard and sat on the swing to count the stars, and then both caught a cold the next day, and I was scolded by my mother."

"Pfft, yes, that time when my mother was cooking porridge and preaching to us."

Probably remembering what it was like at that time, Texas couldn't help smiling, then looked at the fireworks in the distance, and said with a trembling voice:

"If, how great it would be to go back to the past..."

Hearing this sentence, Phoenix turned his head to look at Texas lying on the railing, walked to Texas, and whispered:

"... Lina."

"Ah? Brother, um......!!"

Just after Texas heard Phoenix calling him, Texas straightened up subconsciously, turned around and was about to say something, but the softness that suddenly covered his lips held his mouth, and he couldn't say a word. Unable to speak……

After a long time, the lips parted, and Phoenix took half a step back with a slightly red face. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Texas gently covering his mouth, and the tears in his eyes poured down as if the floodgates had been opened. Choked up and said:

"Woo... ah... stupid... idiot Phoenix... you, do you know how long I've been waiting for this... woo... why... all of a sudden... I wasn't even prepared... stupid... woo... ..."

Seeing Texas crying into tears, Phoenix smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to hold Texas in his arms again, and said in a low voice:

"Sorry, Lina, you also know my personality, so... can you give me a little more time? Just a little..."

"Ugh... idiot... did I think I cared about that little time...you know...whether it's a week, a month, a year, or a lifetime, I'll wait for you..."

The fireworks are still blooming, but they are only fleeting, but at this moment, for Texas, it is a moment that she can keep in memory and is called eternal.

Perhaps, in the not-too-distant future, when Texas is asked what 'love' is by his daughter, he will probably answer with a smile:

"The so-called love is probably that you are willing to spend your whole life waiting, waiting for the destined person to come to you and exchange tokens that symbolize eternity with each other. I think so."

Chapter 150 The Beginning of the Sixth Requiem Night

"hey-hey……"

Hearing the light smile coming from behind, Croissant shuddered again. Looking back, he saw Texas sitting in front of the box packing the express box. The box in his left hand was still unsealed. She looked at her right hand with a sweet face, but she was wearing a red glove on her right hand, so Croissant had no idea what Dexus was laughing at.

"That, Texas?"

"Ah? What's wrong?"

After being called by Croissant's name, Texas, who had just woken up from a dream, looked back at Croissant in a little panic, and asked.

Seeing Texas's ignorant look, Croissant shook his head helplessly, and said:

"I said Texas, why are you so out of shape today? The courier boxes are almost piled up, and you don't want to be dragged to work overtime by the boss on Requiem Night tonight?"

After listening to Croissant, Texas looked back at the express boxes piled up at the end of the conveyor belt, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said:

"Um, sorry, I was really absent-minded today, I'll be fine soon."

After finishing speaking, Dexa quickly picked up the tape and began to seal those express boxes quickly, basically one in two or three seconds, and processed the piled up boxes in a short while. Seeing that there are no boxes for the time being, Dexa Si returned to the state just now, looked at his right hand, and smiled from time to time.

Seeing that Texas had returned to the state just now, Croissant sighed helplessly, and was about to put the packed box in the warehouse, but suddenly heard a sentence coming from behind him:

"Tsk tsk, girls in love are really scary."

"I'll go! When will the angel come for you?"

Croissant was startled by the sudden voice, and when he looked back, he saw that Angel Neng was leaning against the door and looking at Texas who was facing them with his back, his face was full of emotion.

"Uh... You, just said you were in love? Texas has a partner?!"

As if hearing some terrible news, Croissant opened his mouth in surprise, and went directly to Angel Neng, whispering:

"Hey, tell me quickly, who is it? Is it someone from Longmen? How old is it? What does it look like?"

"Are you going to check your household registration? Then again, why do you care so much about your boyfriend in Texas?"

Seeing that Croissant was so excited, Angel Neng couldn't help but take two steps back, and asked a little strangely, logically speaking Croissant shouldn't be too concerned about things that can't make money.

"Hey, what is that look in your eyes? Do I seem to be the kind of person who doesn't care about my colleagues? How can I say that Texas is also a sister who has been with us for several years, so I can't help her check it out?"

Seeing Neng Angel's suspicious eyes, Ke Song said with a little shame, although she is indeed a little bit fond of money, but that's just because she likes Longmen coins, it doesn't mean that she only cares about Longmen coins.

Seeing that Croissant seemed to be really angry, Angel Neng smiled awkwardly, put his arms around her neck, and said:

"Okay, okay, let's treat it as a small joke. Besides, the sweetheart in Texas doesn't need us to check."

"Oh? Don't we need to check it? Why?"

Seeing Ke Song's puzzled look, Angel Neng saw that there was no one around, and leaned into Ke Song's ear and said:

"The sweetheart of Texas is her brother, and he received the ring last night."

Yes, the ring, just last night, Phoenix bought it together when they were shopping for dinner, and just after the two of them made a brief confession last night, Phoenix wore one of the couple rings in Texas on the middle finger of his right hand, and then, now Dexa is smiling at his right hand when he has nothing to do...

"What?! I c... Woohoo!"

Hearing such explosive news, Ke Song immediately wanted to swear that the representative of Longmen was surprised, but before he finished speaking, Neng Angel, who was almost in a cold sweat, covered his mouth severely.

After covering Croissant's mouth, Neng Angel quickly pulled Croissant to hide outside the door, then carefully looked inside, saw that Texas didn't pay attention to this side, breathed a sigh of relief, and then let go of Croissant , said in a low voice:

"Please, don't be so excited."

"Please me too! Can you not be excited?!"

It seems to have hit the mark, Croissant is quite excited now, the light in his eyes is almost catching up with the time when he sees a pile of Longmen coins.

"Think about it, can you be an angel, since Texas entered our penguin logistics, one day has not been a high-profile fan, but it turns out that he has a sweetheart, and he is still an elder brother who grew up together. This can be written as a romance The plot of the novel is a big seller!"

"Forehead……"

Seeing the inexplicably excited Croissant, Angel Neng wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his head in embarrassment, and whispered:

"I didn't even know that Croissant still likes to read romance novels."

"Good afternoon, both of you."

"Ah, Kong, boss, you are back."

Just when Neng Angel didn't know what to say to Croissant, Kong's lovely voice came from the entrance, and when he turned around, he saw Kong walking in through the door with a small box in his hand, and behind her was a man walking in the doorway. The Great Emperor with a small balance bike.

"I haven't seen you all day, what are you doing?"

Seeing the Emperor and Kong, Ke Song also got out of the state of excitement just now, walked over while talking, took the small box from Kong's hand, put it on the table, and opened it to have a look.

"Huh? Lanterns? Firework ribbons? And some weird accessories? You guys bought some of these after going out for a day today? What are you using them for?"

"Humph."
