Chapter 39 Diary1 & Diary2

Diary1

①Snow in Winter Island

The white snow flying all over the sky blurred people's vision.

The whole winter island is covered with silver.The biting cold penetrated through the gaps in the clothing, making people's hands and feet stiff.

A pair of heavy snow boots were on her feet. Every time Adelina stepped on them, the boots would sink deeply into the snow layer, leaving footprints of different shades.

The snow is falling more and more.

Adelina opened her mouth and exhaled slightly, the warm breath liquefied into a hazy white mist in the cold air.

A few grains of ice landed on the collar.

Ace, who was walking ahead with an open flame to explore the way, heard the slight movement behind him, turned his head and walked towards Adelina, straightened her coat and hat, "Is it cold?"

The sentence that was originally intended to be said was fine, but was blocked by Ace's focused gaze.In the end, Adelina nodded honestly.

They didn't expect that luck would be so bad.

After going to the island, they traveled long distances and finally found a small village, only to learn that Tiqi had already run away.

It was getting dark and the blizzard had never stopped. It was impossible for them to go back to the shore to find a boat at this time.But before the two of them could find a place to rest, a sudden avalanche flooded most of the village—and blocked their way forward by the way.

"There is a stone cave in front." Ace combed the hair on Adeline's forehead, "Just rest there."

Ace freed his free hand and held Adelina tightly behind his back.

The cold wind howled.Under a piece of soft white snow, a thick layer of ice has condensed.

In places with less snow, a corner of the clear and smooth ice layer is faintly exposed, reflecting the silhouettes of pedestrians on the ice.

……

"Well, the wind seems to be a little less."

Adelina straightened up, added a few pieces of dry wood to the fire in front of her, and then lay back in Ace's arms.

The two sat on the floor against a stone wall.Ace was only wearing a long sleeve at this time, and he took the rest of the clothes to wrap Adelina without authorization.

Adeline could clearly feel the temperature on Ace's body through a layer of not-so-thick clothing.

"But you, is it really okay?" She stretched out her finger and poked Ace's strong forearm exposed by rolling up his sleeve.

When she did this, she also moved her head slightly, which made Ace's neck itchy.

Ace smiled helplessly, "You idiot... I am a fire myself, how can I be afraid of the cold." He grabbed her cold fingers and held them in his palm, and by the way, put the coat covering the two of them on Adeline moved where she was sitting.

Although she knew this was the case in her heart, she still felt a little inappropriate when she saw that Ace was wearing such thin clothes.

Ace stretched out a finger, put it on Adeline's lips, and smiled to signal her not to worry about herself.By the way, he pulled her closer to him.

"...is it still cold?"

His clear voice was especially pleasant in the howling wind.

"It's not cold anymore." She replied in a low voice, her voice sounded a little tired.

As long as he is around Ace, his nerves can always be easily relaxed.

Smelling the reassuring aura of that person, Adelina felt her eyelids get heavy.

Her voice gradually dropped.

Ace tilted his head slightly, resting lightly on her head.

Glancing at the snow flying outside the cave, his eyes glanced over the burning fire in front of him, and finally - he fell on the peaceful and beautiful sleeping faces of the people around him.

Ace lowered his head and placed a soft kiss on the forehead of the sleeping girl.

"Good night, Dinah."

The girl who always used strength to arm herself was now lying safely in her arms.

Like a docile and well-behaved cat.

The next day, the light sunlight at sunrise quietly spread into the cave along the footprints on the snow.

The black-haired young man next to him snorted, then stretched out a hand.

She raised her eyes a little, only to feel that the sun was not so glaring.

The eyelashes fluttered slightly, and swept across the palm of the man's hand that shielded him from the sun.

"Good morning, Ace."

The ice and snow melted beside the charred dry wood.

The sunlight jumps on the two leaning shadows.

② Her wanted warrant

"Dinah! Ace fell into the sea..."

Before Qiqila finished speaking, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the stairwell.

The sound of splashing water was heard—by the time Qiqila finished notifying the others and everyone gathered on the deck, Adelina had long since disappeared.

Looking at the sparse bubbles rising from the water, the crew members looked at each other in blank dismay.

After an unknown amount of time, the woman poked her head out of the sea, taking a big breath of fresh air—the sea water wet Adelina's soft black hair, and it slid down the contours of her face.

Holding Ace with one hand, he climbed to the edge of the lifeboat lowered by the crew with the other.

After the clothes are soaked, being blown by the cool sea breeze really makes people feel a little chilly.

Adeline wiped off the water droplets on her body with the towel given by Chichila, while watching the others fish Ace into the boat.

The sense of panic that her heartbeat suddenly emptied just now made Adelina feel a little dazed at this moment.

"Dinah, you haven't recovered from your injury..." Qiqila frowned, looking at the layers of gauze on her back, feeling a little worried.

She took a deep breath, her lips were a little pale, "...it's okay."

She walked to the side of Ace who was lying on the deck and regained consciousness, and resisted the feeling of wanting to kick up—slowly squatted down beside Ace.

"Are you a fool? You can fall off the railing."

In her reproachful gaze, there was a trace of distressing caution.

Drops of water slid down the edge of the clothes onto the board.

Ace knew very well in his heart how much the accident of the war on the top hurt the girl in front of him——

Smiling apologetically, he raised his hand to straighten the wet hair sticking to her face.

After the powerlessness brought by the sea water gradually subsided, Ace immediately cheered up again.

He jumped up from the ground, sat cross-legged in front of the girl with red eyes, took out a wet, crumpled paper ball from his pocket, and handed it to her.

Adelina unfolded a corner of the ball of paper, and was a little confused for a while, "For this arrest warrant... you just ran to jump into the sea?"

"This is no ordinary arrest warrant."

Ace smiled mysteriously, and carefully put away the arrest warrant for "Isano Adelina".

Under Adelina's suspicious eyes, Ace just smiled and told her to go back to the room and change the wet clothes.

"So, is there anything special about that piece of paper?"

Chichila, who was sitting on the ground leaning against the railing, was a little curious as she watched Adelina walk towards the back of the stairwell.

Ace hooked the corner of his mouth, recalling the feeling when his forehead touched the paper in the deep sea prison——

"that is……"

Spiritual support.

③After a quarrel

The door panel was kicked open with a bang, and smashed straight into the wall.It broke the originally depressing and dead atmosphere in the room.

The people in the room turned their heads one after another, and looked at the guy who was supposed to be wandering several sea areas away, hesitating to speak.

Only the woman sitting on the bed remained motionless and did not respond to the sound.

Just stay there quietly.

Ace blushed, panting heavily, staring blankly at Adelina who was sitting silently on the bed.

Chichila, who was closest to Adelina, noticed that she was trembling slightly as she clutched the horns of her fingers.

Qiqila reckoned in her heart for a while—it was only two or three days since they told Ace the news without telling Adelina.

Returning to the New World across several dangerous sea areas in such a short period of time—it’s no wonder that Ace was a little more embarrassed than usual when he came back.

Ace held on to the door frame with one hand and hung stiffly at his side with the other, looking a little uneasy.

Before Ace spoke, Adelina sighed softly——

"A...s?"

The ending sound is erratic, with a hint of fragile haste.

The eyelashes trembled slightly, casting a shadow, blocking the distracted vision in those blue eyes.

Ace's heart thumped hard.

All previous concerns and contradictions were shattered when his eyes touched that slender and fragile figure.

Forget about the unhappiness caused by those details, he took a sudden step and walked towards her.

Qiqila and the other crew members exited the room very discerningly——

The boy was the last to leave the room.After closing the concealed door, he let out a long breath of relief.

The previous cold war between Adelina and Ace really worried them all.

When you are in a relationship, who doesn't have conflicts and emotions, but I just didn't expect that Ace would take the lead, and ran away on impulse, leaving the new world to wander around in other sea areas.Adelina looked indifferent and indifferent, but still ran in the opposite direction angrily. As a result, she was infected by poisonous plants on an island she was not familiar with, and was diagnosed as temporarily blind when she was sent back.

At that time, Marco grabbed the ship doctor by the collar and almost threw him into the sea.All fools know that it is temporary blindness, but no one knows when it will return to normal—right now the only thing is to wait for the ship doctor to return from the island to gather medicine.During this time, Adelina could only bear the powerlessness of being in the darkness alone.

Recalling Adelina's previous appearance of pretending to be indifferent, Qiqila felt very distressed.

Obviously such a proud girl - losing her light is tantamount to turning her into a useless person.

Marko saw that the worry on Chichila's face was still there, so he patted him on the head reassuringly, "At least now, Ace is back."

Chichira nodded.

Inside the house, Adelina seemed to sense the departure of other people. She turned her head slightly, as if she wanted to find out where Ace was.

A warm palm touched her cheek.

At that moment, the entire empty darkness she could perceive was almost overwhelmed by the warm moisture in the eye sockets.

She bit her lower lip, and that forbearance made Ace's heart sting.

He held the back of her head and pressed her head against his chest.

The familiar soft fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose. Ace hugged Adelina and rubbed his face against her hair.

The arms around his waist slowly tightened.

④About exercise

After her eyes returned to normal, Adelina began to exercise consciously under the advice of the ship's doctor.

She has been in the stage of health preservation before, and her face has gained a lot of flesh - staring at her somewhat rounded face lines in the mirror, Adelina thought so.

So one morning after the planned workout, she got up early for the first time.

Even if he lifted the quilt lightly, he was still caught by the guys around him.

"Why do you wake up so early?"

Ace muttered a few words while half asleep and half awake.

She leaned down to kiss the man's cheek, and said softly, "Go to exercise."

In the past few days, Adelina has been complaining to Ace that she has gained a lot of weight during this time.

Ace never thought she was fat - on the contrary, she used to think that Adelina was too thin, but now that she has more flesh, it feels better to hold her.

But exercise is always good for the body, and Ace expressed his support.

After getting a good morning kiss from the other party, Ace got back into the soft and warm bed and continued to sleep.

When I woke up again, it was already high in the sun.

The faint sound of dripping water floated into his ears—looking at the wooden bench next to the bathroom door with a pile of sweaty sportswear, Ace knew that Adeline had returned from exercising.

After getting up and washing, Ace sat on the edge of the bed in a daze until Adelina came out of the bathroom wiping her hair after taking a shower.

"Had breakfast?"

Adelina tilted her head and asked him while wiping her hair.

Ace shook his head, took a sip of hot water, and walked up to Adelina, "Not yet."

While taking the soft towel in her hand, he wiped her hair without any hassle.

Adelina was wearing a pure black bathrobe, which set off her fair and delicate skin.

After bathing, there is a light fragrance on the body.

It smells good.

After exercising and taking a shower, people are always prone to sleepiness.

She felt her eyelids a little heavy.

Ace's face in front of him was getting closer.

He pecked lightly on her mouth.Adelina just woke up and gave him a blank look.

"Ah, it was discovered."

Ace showed his white teeth with a smile, and continued to rub her hair with his hands. From time to time, he approached her hair and sniffed lightly, "It smells so good."

"It's not breakfast. You can't eat incense." Adelina laughed at his childlike tone, and poked Ace's face.

Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly broke her face in a serious manner, "Who said you can't eat it?"

Feeling the back of her head being hooked by the towel, the person in front of her made a sudden effort, and Adelina fell into his arms.

Ace smiled triumphantly. Originally, he just wanted to tease her, but he couldn't stop from the beginning.

Adeline, who was kissed by Ace, struggled unsuccessfully, so she simply wrapped her arms around Ace's thin waist and raised her head to respond.

The two turned around, and he easily pressed her on the spread out quilt.

The body fell into the soft sheets, and Adelina felt that the tie of the bathrobe that was originally tied was loosened by the man.

"You..."

All her whispers were swallowed by him.

"Skipping breakfast?"

"I don't want to eat."

Ace faltered a few times, and his hand had already slipped dishonestly into the inside of the bathrobe, wandering on her smooth back.

Adelina seemed to want to tease him, and the kiss back suddenly became passionate.

Feeling that the breathing of the man in front of her suddenly became heavy, she pushed him away with a smile, "But I'm hungry."

"Yeah—I'll eat it later."

Ignoring Ace's slightly resentful tone, Adelina straightened up and sat aside in a good mood, and rearranged the belt around her waist.
