[comprehensive] red tide

Feeling that the person lying in her arms softened her body, and her breathing became indistinct at the same time, Aokiji was stunned for a moment, then looked down and realized that within a few breaths, she really fell asleep, defenseless, like a child.

Seeing the fluffy hair on the top of her head, Aokiji hesitated for a moment.

Her back was close to him, and her shoulder-length hair was spread on his shirt, and a few strands swirled and extended into the back of her neck. Looking from this height, against the black hair, the delicate porcelain white skin was so soft It's so soul-stirring that it makes people's minds fluctuate.

He stared at her quietly for a while, then quietly withdrew his hand again, trying to help her crooked posture, so that she could sleep more comfortably.

The moment her fingertips touched her, she opened her eyes without warning, like a beast awake in sleep, with a hint of sleepiness between her brows, but a coldness in the depths of her pupils.

It seemed that he was looking at him and he didn't see anything in his eyes. There was a faint hostility dormant between the bones and veins of his slender body.

His hand was hanging in the air, her eyes were confused and confused, he and her just looked at each other.

After staring blankly at him for a while, she closed her eyes again, her body relaxed, and then she buried her face in his skirt, humming a few times coquettishly, exhaling softly and shallowly, piercing his thin shirt, bringing Burning hot.

In an instant, Aokiji's heart ached beyond measure.

Just now when he deliberately restrained his breath, she still woke up with a start. It seemed to be a subconscious conditioned reflex, such a habit developed after years of immersion in killing, had already been integrated into the flesh and blood and it was difficult to get rid of it.

Even though he knew early on that it was impossible for a person like her to truly relax herself no matter when and where, seeing it with his own eyes at this moment, he still couldn't help feeling sorry for her.

Her situation should have only appeared in those men who fought in the battlefield.

His little lady should have been like every ordinary girl, only worrying about whether the clothes are exquisite enough or whether the make-up is fashionable enough, or hesitating which suitor should accept the invitation, not like now , even sleep with one eye open, always vigilant.

If he didn't force her to stay by his side because he hesitated to let her escape back then, wouldn't his little girl live a peaceful and stable life today?

…………

He waited until she fell asleep again, before he dared to let go of his hand that was in mid-air. He carefully supported her shoulders, imitating how she hugged the baby, and he gently put her around his heart.

This time she didn't wake up, she just twisted a few times, mumbled in a daze while groping for his skirt, and then buried her face deeper.

Aokiji unconsciously held her breath, and her whole body suddenly became stiff, allowing her to curl up her legs and slowly curl up into a ball like a kitten, and it took a while before she calmed down.

After waiting for a long, long time, he noticed that the aura emanating from her had stabilized. He mentioned that the half-empty heart fell back to its original position, and slowly put away the attention stuck to her, and took the time to look at the young boatman who was waiting on the side. '.

The other party still had a flat expression, as if he was really facing a stranger, but there was a trace of awe and longing in the depths of his pupils that were staring intently at him.

While the young man was staring at him, Aokiji was also looking at him, and the two looked at each other for a moment.

After a while, the young man didn't seem to dare to look directly, his eyes dropped a little, and he walked around the person he stopped in his arms, with a faint look of inquiry.

Qingzhi's eyes turned cold slightly, he coughed lightly, and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything else you need?"

The young man took a breath, raised his eyes, and a dark aura flashed across his clear pupils, "Old Kaku." After he announced his name, there was a trace of hesitation on his face, and then the corners of his mouth tightened, and he stopped talking.

After thinking about it, Aokiji frowned quickly, then said with a brisk low smile, "Ah la la ~ young people these days are really not polite, so it's hard to make an appointment on vacation, I don't want to be disturbed by anything... "

Concisely stated his only purpose for this trip, paused, under the astonished gaze of the other party, he slightly buried his head and kissed the hair of the person in his arms, then stood up again, and snorted softly, "So, just now The person who bid farewell should go too, right?"

"To disturb you, I'm really old and rude." The young man smiled slightly, raised his hand to put the hat on his back, slowly got up and straightened the corner of his clothes, and then said in a low voice, "Speaking of dating , there are many good places in the Seven Waters."

"For example, in the tavern on Central Street that the old man frequents, the owner Bruno is a master at bartending."

"If you are interested, you can go and have a look."

While talking, the young man took a few steps towards the edge of the house, and then turned his head, the eyes hidden under the brim of the hat disappeared for a moment, "The tavern closes at eleven o'clock at night."

…………

The house was warmed by the sun, and the corners of the vermilion eaves refracted the dim light. The figure of the young man drew a silhouette in the air, and soon the wind slid into the distance.

Qingzhi slowly retracted his gaze, lowered his eyelashes, and sighed indistinctly.

He knew of the existence of this young man. Apart from this young man, there were also the tavern mentioned just now, and several other characters in the city of seven waters. Aokiji knew everything about it.

He didn't want to pay attention, at least for two days, but the other party didn't seem to want him to stay out of it, and specifically mentioned the location and time, implying and requesting him to come over after the tavern closed.

He really didn't want to pay attention to it, but unfortunately, his identity gave him no reason to shirk; whether it was 'Aokiji' or 'Kuzan', the position of [soldier] was superimposed in front of it.

His persistence for half his life did not allow him to truly be a bystander.

Thinking of this, his heart stabbed slightly, and Aokiji couldn't help retracting his arms, and smiled bitterly silently.

Could it be that the time for him to dream is so short?

He hopes to get two days with her, even if the future runs counter to each other or even meet in battle, there will be some memories for him, enough for him to support the rest of his life, so that he doesn't have to be tortured almost crazy by those delusions.

After all, he is not young anymore, maybe he can't wait for the next 20 years, and he doesn't want to bury it in the dust with regrets.

What he wants is very simple, just two days, no responsibility, no contradiction, no hatred and calculations, he and her pretend to be a pair of lovers who love each other, maybe add a child, and the three will form a dream family.

It is also difficult for him to ask for it.

He and her were separated by the fire at West Sea O'Hara. Even if she obediently obeyed as agreed, it was only due to coercion, and she might even fight to the death after the deal was completed.

As early as when they first met, when he saw her for the first time, the moment he was tempted, fate destined this ending.

Maybe it's really a bad relationship, but it's a pity that he refuses to break the bond.

…………

In a daze, Aokiji noticed that the person in his arms moved, looked down and saw that she had woken up and looked up at him, her eyes were misty, and her expression was gentle when she was half asleep.

He couldn't help but put her on the rug, leaned over, and kissed the corner of her lips very lovingly. When she pushed away impatiently, he looked at her tightly frowning eyebrows, and smiled at her again. .

After a while, she turned her back to him, and he walked past him quietly but didn't do anything else. He just patted her back with his hand, and he didn't feel discouraged when he was dodged, he just coaxed her looking at her.

After a long time, she seemed to have compromised and no longer resisted, so he reached out and pulled her close to his heart.

Lying on the ground on his side, with one hand on his pillow and the other protecting her, Aokiji smiled carelessly, but he knew in his heart that besides smiling, he couldn't find any other expression to face her.

…………Dividing line…………

Time is lost unconsciously.

The fireball hanging in the sky fell westward, and the thin clouds in the sky were dyed a rich golden red. People who had slept for most of the day woke up silently, and the timing was precise and subtle.

She sat up slowly, and then she turned her head, with a face showing a little bit of trouble, "Mmm—" she hummed softly with a nasal sound, rubbed her eyes, and yawned a little at the same time, "Slept well."

Qingzhi stared at her blankly, perhaps because the atmosphere was too peaceful, he was a little lazy for a while, and he couldn't think of disturbing her.

She looked at him, then got up and walked to the small rocker, bent down to lift the curtain, and picked up the baby from inside.

The strange thing is that the child who also slept for most of the day still had his eyes closed, and his small body struggled and wriggled, exuding a very unhappy breath of being disturbed.

Put the child upright and pat him to coax her, then she sat cross-legged on the spot, flipped her wrist, and immediately there was a fist-sized fruit on her fingertips, "Be good~ eat the fruit, you can go back to sleep after eating."

She coaxed loudly, opening a hole in the fruit, and brought the overflowing juice to the child's mouth. The baby stopped crying in an instant, and the fleshy little mouth couldn't wait to close it...

Seeing this, Aokiji slowly narrowed his eyes, and sat up unconsciously.

"This child..." After staring at the baby for a long time, he pretended to be unintentional and asked, "I remember that the baby shouldn't be fed indiscriminately, right?"

Hearing this, she glanced at him with a little alertness in her eyes.

Seeing that she was protecting the little baby without any trace, he raised his hand as a sign of surrender, and said with a wry smile, "Hey, don't worry, little miss, I won't do anything to the baby."

She stared at him coldly, and continued to lower her head without answering, as if she was too lazy to answer.

He put down his hands embarrassingly, thought for a while, and said again, "I admit that I was dizzy at first, but..." In any case, how could he do anything to the baby?Even if malice appeared in his heart, that bit of darkness was quickly wiped out.

"I know~" She interrupted his explanation with a flat expression, and glanced over while speaking, with a slight smile in her eyes, "If you can say it, it means you're fine."

Adjusting the posture for the little baby, she lowered her eyes, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and her voice softened, "No matter what kind of person there are two sides, the only difference is whether you know how to control it or not."

"If you don't respond at all, I'd rather be worried."

…………

The sun set in the west made her cheeks flush slightly, with a smile on her lips, she quietly squinted at his eyes, which were like a soft feather, gently scratching Aokiji's heart.

He couldn't help but move to her side, stretched out his hand and hugged the two of them, one big and one small, tightly, "Miss——"

After opening his mouth, he realized that his voice was unbearably hoarse. He couldn't help but fell silent, swallowed slowly a few times, suppressed the disordered heartbeat for a long time, and then asked her, "If I don't respond, what are you worried about?"

"I'm worried about your hypocrisy." She turned her face slightly, stared at him carefully for a while, and said with a half-smile, "You haven't changed in 20 years, you are very stupid."

Before he could react, she had already turned her eyes away, facing another direction, her voice was as calm as if she was discussing the weather, "You guys in the Navy are all like this, obviously you can't stand it soon, so let's bear it."

After being stunned for a while, Aokiji then laughed self-deprecatingly, "I can't help it~ If you don't bear it, the little lady will get hurt."

What followed after the indulgence was boundless regret. Of course, what he regretted was definitely nothing but that she would get hurt. Therefore, even though he felt hot all over, he didn't dare to act rashly.

As a result, she snorted and her voice became cold, "In that case, please continue to bear it."

As soon as the words fell, she turned her face like turning over a book, she elbowed him away, and instantly appeared in front of the small rocker, bent down to put the child back in her arms, and carefully pulled the curtain back.

After finishing everything, she turned sideways and stared at him quietly, her face half hidden in the low twilight, "There is one day left, two nights left, General Aokiji."
