Will you die if you don't act cute every day?

In the endless sky, clusters of thick, overlapping clouds seemed to divide the blue sky into countless large and small squares.The golden sunlight inlaid a gold border on the corners of the clouds, and countless clusters of thin light poured out from the edge cracks between the clouds and sprinkled on the vast land.

A row of towering white city walls stretching to the endless end is like an angel with huge wings. The sun is dyed on the top of the city wall, and the people moving under their feet are set off as ants.A bell tower protruded from the city wall. It looked simple and simple in appearance, but the huge bell body and the solemn atmosphere on it made people awe-inspiring.This wonderful feeling is like a naive child suddenly meeting a respected elder in the family, the moment when he held his breath, that moment when his movements became cautious, and that moment of panic and excitement intertwined gracefully.

"This is the Bell of Hope. It rings on time at six o'clock every morning, symbolizing the start of a new day." Seeing that Cheng Si had been looking at the clock tower, Xia Ying explained aloud.

Cheng Si's gaze on the clock tower flickered slightly upon hearing this, "It's very impressive." She lowered her eyes and realized that it was inappropriate for her to speak like this, so she hurriedly added, "I mean, the meaning is also very good. "

Xia Ying raised her head and followed Cheng Si's line of sight to the towering clock tower. There was a special kind of tenderness in her eyes, but this kind of tenderness didn't last long, and soon turned into a sigh, "It's nothing The meaning is just a spiritual sustenance artificially created."

"However, I have a heart." Cheng Si smiled slightly, looked at the clock tower again, shook his head and said softly, "Go on."

Xia Ying responded softly.A faint smile melted on her charming face, and her clear pupils seemed to know everything, but also seemed to know nothing, and the words implied, "People of today always have too much for the future." Doubts and fears, how can I think about it so much, like that bell, it will ring when it should ring, even if... one day, it is no longer needed, then it will not ring." She was talking. , tilting his head and laughing softly, his gentle eyes fell on the people passing by the roadside, his words and smiles were sweet.

Cheng Si looked at her profile, at the people passing by in a hurry, and he also smiled.

"Too."

The thought of "being close to the hometown" in my heart was inexplicably wiped away.

After all, Cheng Ming is a child. Walking in front and seeing so many novel things at once, he felt that everything was full of attraction for a while. He jumped up and down like a monkey, holding Ji Xi with one hand, and discussing with her Discussing here and there with her... After a long while, probably because he was tired, he turned his head and jumped up to Cheng Si excitedly, raised his tender face and blinked his watery eyes, "Sister Cheng, Sister Cheng, this place is so awesome, so majestic, so... so... oh, oh, I can't express that feeling!"

"Hope." Liu Xin stared at the city wall and added lightly.

"Yes, yes, this place is full of vitality, which makes people feel better!!" Cheng Min's cheerful smile broke into Cheng Si's heart, which made her quite amused, and she couldn't help but want to make fun of it.

"Usually like a little old man, why are you so active now?" Cheng Si flicked his forehead slightly with his fingertips, and smiled lightly.

"...Who are you talking about, the little old man? If I were a little old man, then what are you? A big old woman?" Cheng Min covered his head and grinned.

Ji Xi watched helplessly, but he didn't want to interrupt this rare relaxation, so he just stood there and looked at them with a smile on his face.

Cheng Si caught a glimpse of Ji Xi's eyes from the corner of his eye, and a gentle smile brushed her cheeks like a breeze, making her blushed, but Cheng Si didn't show any discomfort in consideration of her past "image of being calm in times of crisis" She pretended to be serious and coughed twice while suffering from "suffering" in her heart. She glanced at Ji Xi lightly and said angrily, "What are you laughing at?"

Ji Xi turned her and Cheng Ming's eyes lightly, pondered for a long time, then lowered her head slightly, and whispered in her ear: "Cute."

On the almost transparent white face, the curved willow eyebrows were stained with a smile, and the quiet and soft light in Ji Xi's eyes made her body seem to be covered with a gentle gauze.

This... This is clearly a joke that she is still having trouble with children at such an age. Cheng Si deliberately ignored Ji Xi's expression, snorted softly from his nostrils, and walked forward quickly with a sullen face.But before she took a few steps, she couldn't help showing a slight smile on her face with her back to Ji Xi. Really, why do you keep showing that expression when you're okay... It makes me feel weird...

Xia Ying stood in front of them waiting for them, and the scene that happened under her nose was naturally... gritted a mouthful of silver teeth... Bah, she shouldn't have brought Cheng Si and that Ji Xi here in the first place , Look at the pink bubbles popping up around these two people, it's so sour!

The point is... Xia Ying glanced at the expressionless faces of the people around her, twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "Hey, don't look at them, they are just two loving dogs. Let's go quickly and leave them alone."

Liu Xin pursed her lips, and a look of sadness flashed in her clear eyes, "It's the first time I saw her smiling so happily."

Xia Ying was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized that the "she" she was talking about was Cheng Si. She was silent for a while, unable to see Liu Xin's dejected look, Xia Ying grabbed her shoulders with both hands with a serious face, and turned her over. to myself.When Liu Xin frowned and was about to ask her, she suddenly showed a bright smile. While smiling, she asked, "How is it? Do I have a nice smile too? It's not worse than that guy Cheng Si."

Hearing such rhetoric, the tip of his heart seemed to be scratched by something soft, Liu Xin's frown suddenly relaxed, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

Xia Ying originally only wanted to help her divert her attention, but Liu Xin smiled so face-savingly. Her eyes widened, her eyes drifted up in a daze, and she unknowingly showed a silly expression.

Seeing her dumbfounded look, Liu Xin shook her head helplessly, and put a question mark on the fact that she successfully entered the Astan base later on. Is Xia Ying really the leader of the Astan base?Look at this stupid... It really doesn't look like it, but the matter has come to this point, and they have no way out.There was a bit of slander in my heart, and when I was approaching the city wall, Liu Xin glanced at "someone" who was still out of state, couldn't help reaching out to pat her on the head, and reminded: "It's here..."

There was a soft and sharp touch on his forehead, Xia Ying's vision became a little darker, and then he immediately woke up.She glanced at Liu Xin faintly, curled her lips in grievance, and thought secretly in her heart: I have never seen Liu Xin beat Cheng Si so hard before, how can I let myself be so merciless?No, no, this is differential treatment. Now is an era where everyone is equal. When I look back, I must talk to Liu Xin carefully.

"Show permission to enter the city." The guard stopped them and said with a serious look.

"..."

After a while, Xia Ying still didn't move.Gu Zi fell into deep thought.

Liu Xin saw that the guards at the gate of the city were gradually staring at them vigilantly, and seeing Xia Ying next to her still looking so far away, she felt a little irritable for a while, so she simply stretched out one hand to Xia Ying's waist and twisted it hard. Bundle.

Aww... Xia Ying's whole body trembled, and her thoughts instantly became clear. She looked at Liu Xin blankly, with a look of grievance on what happened.

"Permission to enter the city..." Liu Xin looked at her coldly and said lightly.

"Ah... um." Xia Ying realized that they were already standing at the gate of her base, and she felt very embarrassed when she thought of her appearance just now.She took a step forward and stood in front of the guards, and resumed her usual indifferent attitude in front of her subordinates, then took out a golden badge from her pocket, and said in a calm voice, "These people behind me are all distinguished guests, go tell the third child, clean up. A few rooms come out."

When the guard saw the badge, he immediately paid attention to the military salute. His dark face and eyes instantly burst out with admiration, and his momentum was like a rainbow. "Yes, General."

Turned around and ran away.

When the guard ran away, Xia Ying turned sideways and made a "please" gesture to them, "Welcome to Astan Base."

When Bo Yang landed on her body, tiny golden dust seemed to rise in the air.The woman wrapped in a strong dress leaned over slightly, the folds of the clothes outlined several charming and downward lines on her abdomen, her straight and powerful long legs were stepped on black military boots, her narrow eyes were slightly narrowed, and the corners of her mouth were smiling like a smile. If there is nothing, the whole person exudes a strong aggressive smell, but at the same time, this aura does not make people uncomfortable.

It was the first time Liu Xin saw such a diametrically opposed Xia Ying, and it was difficult to look away for a while.Xia Ying naturally noticed the change in Liu Xin, the smile in her eyes deepened and her expression was gentle.

Liu Xin was looking into her warm eyes, with mixed emotions welling up in her heart, her throat was hard, she thought she had to say something, and she couldn't let Xia Ying get trapped any longer, it was impossible for the two of them to be together of.But in the end, thousands of words turned into a sigh, and Liu Xin withdrew his gaze and walked in.

After all, she was a bit reluctant to face Xia Ying like this.

Cheng Si and Ji Xi brushed against Liu Xin's shoulder one after the other, and Ji Xi purposely took half a step behind. When passing Liu Xin, he smiled softly and said, "General? Huh..."

Xia Ying lazily smiled back at Ji Xi, without saying a word, she followed Liu Xin step by step like her most loyal knight.

When they were about to arrive at the residence, a group of soldiers came, and the leading man leaned over and said something in Xia Ying's ear.

Xia Ying frowned slightly, then turned her head to look at them, and said: "The hotel is where you live, this hotel is a remnant, and the supplies inside are still complete, you live next door to me, nah, this brother will take you Go." She ordered the man who had just talked to her, "Take them to the 18th floor, the two rooms next to me."

"Yes."
