Rain

Eleven months to go.

This town is very beautiful.The simple and solid house is made of solid wood, and the walls painted in light colors are covered with lush green vines, which are lush and lush, and countless roses are blooming on the vines.Delicate red pink, plain white, elegant goose yellow, unrestrained crimson... All kinds of pleasing colors are like strong oil paintings, covered with greenery and roses everywhere.Buds are about to bloom, big flowers are in full bloom, and half-withered.When the breeze blows, the delicate petals fall with the wind, which is beautiful.There is also a thin layer of petals on the ground, which is extremely soft.The light rose fragrance flutters in the air, which is very pleasant and relaxing.

"Kingdom of roses?" I couldn't bear to step on the petals lightly, and walked slowly along the street.

"Well, the Kingdom of Roses is world-renowned for its growing roses and tourism." Eric happily patted my shoulder with his hand and blinked playfully, "It is said that it is a capital city full of romance and encounters."

"Pfft, work hard." I also patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Good luck."

"Thank you." Eric grinned harmlessly, hugging the goods we purchased, "but I have to transport these back to the ship first." Mr. Boxer Ryan: "You too."

Recently joined, he always likes to wear his baseball cap backwards. The cool Mr. Boxer with short blond hair gave him a blank look and gave him a slap

Breathing out, squinting sleepily, muttering: "Got it, I have to go back...to sleep..."

"Then I'm off to go sightseeing." I waved and walked down the busy street with a smile, "See you later!"

As the journey progressed, I gradually discovered the connection between myself and the dead.I can see them, I can touch them, and they can touch me.They appear in the dark, where there is no sunlight, and there are many places where there are no people.

So now as long as it is in the daytime and in crowded places, I can move alone without the company of anyone.

The long-lost down-to-earth private time...

Mr. Boxer, a newcomer to the regiment, liked to sleep like a lazy animal cub.But when he was fighting, he was extremely energetic, with an excited and fierce expression, just like a huge and ferocious carnivore.But after the fight, he immediately went to sleep listlessly.Now I seriously suspect that he takes drugs, but drugs are fights... when there is a fight, he is full of energy, and if there is no fight, he is listless.The first sentence he voluntarily said to me was at the dining table. While he was breathing heavily, he looked at me sleepily and bit his chopsticks: "Can you get some spicy food next time?"

He likes spicy food very much, he can eat extremely spicy food without blinking, and then he wants more.Whenever and wherever he could just sit down and fall asleep, but he never fell asleep at the dinner table, ever.

I don't know how much better than a certain captain... I slandered Ace in my heart, and at the same time walked to the large fountain in the city center and sat down on the stone wall.There is a sculpture of roses in the center of the fountain made of white and smooth marble, from which clear water is spraying tirelessly.

I was a little bit in a trance, stretched out my hand and took a handful of the slightly cool pool water, watching the spring water without impurities flow back into the pool from between my fingers.

There were lovers embracing each other at the side, throwing coins into the pool, Ren Weiwei sank into the water with a plop, and gradually sank to the bottom.The coins at the bottom are almost full of sincere wishes.

Maybe the people who dropped the coin didn't make it through forever and ever, but wouldn't it be nice to have this moment of satisfaction?There was warmth in my eyes, watching the couple embrace each other, with sweetness on their faces, and only each other in my eyes.

bless all of you.May you carry each other to the old age and live a happy life.

Everyone has their own choice, maybe it will lead to happiness, maybe it will lead to hell, but I don't regret it.

I flicked the petals that fell on me, stood up, and stretched.The shops are pretty much the same, and the scenery is pretty similar, so it's time to go back to the boat.Everyone is on board.

People are very strange creatures. After knowing that their life span has been limited, they will spend every day more attentively, and cherish those moments with others, every minute and every second.

When you are looking at others, you often do not know that you have become the scenery in the eyes of others.

A man suddenly walked up to me and blocked my way.He was wearing a black suit. Although his expression was relaxed, he couldn't stop his sharp aura like a sword, and he had a strong sense of presence.I don't even know why I hadn't noticed such a figure being around all the time before.He is a rare double black, with a handsome appearance and a faint smile on his face.He stood up straight, looked into my eyes, and asked slowly: "Miss, may I have the honor to have a drink with you?"

I don't know why, but I think he seems nervous.

However, I was accosted.Thinking of Mr. Navigator's previous words, I suddenly laughed out loud.What a novel experience.This guy's eyes are very honest again, not those smooth-talking playboys, you can see that they don't do it very often... As a woman, I admit that I like this kind of attention.Anyway, it's still early before we return to the ship, and it takes two days for the island's record pointer to be fully recorded, so we won't leave in the short term.He is not offensive.

Since there are only eleven months left, it is better to experience it once.So I blinked playfully and accepted his invitation: "If you please."

The man seemed relieved, the smile on his face widened slightly, and he felt very comfortable around him.He stood beside me, and said in a calm voice, "Of course."

We randomly found a small shop on the street, sat down, and ordered a bottle of wine.He ordered the specialty here, rose wine.The wine has a beautiful rose color, is very fragrant, and the alcohol content is not high, so it is suitable for women to drink.

We let the breeze blow on our faces, drank in small sips, and chatted happily.

"My name is Keku, and I'm in the Navy." The man raised his wine glass and looked at me, "What about you?"

Alarm bells rang out in my heart, the navy... no wonder there is such a style of standing up straight... I suddenly regretted my recklessness.But what if this is a trap set by the Navy for the Spade Pirates?Our different positions determine that we are bound to confront each other.

I drank the wine in the glass, sat in the rattan chair and smiled subtly: "I'm just an ordinary tourist, how can I compare with your majesty, Mr. Navy." I don't have the habit of cheating, so I didn't tell him my name.

"I'm not a local..." I seemed to hear him murmur, and then he looked at me seriously, and said emphatically, "Please don't call me Mr. Navy, call me Keku."

"Okay." Anyway, it was just a title, and I didn't struggle with it, so I smiled and said, "Keku." Pretending to look at my watch casually, I exclaimed in a low voice in surprise, and stood up at the same time, "No, I It's late, it's time to go back!"

"Wait." Ke Ku also stood up and said naturally, "I'll see you off."

Brother, this should be a question, right... I politely declined his offer: "It's very close, it doesn't matter."

"A gentleman should not let a lady walk alone." He said his chivalry, and his insistence could not be refused.To be honest, this kind of declaration is very touching, but if it weren't for the fact that I am a pirate, I would have sent you to my brother...

"A qualified gentleman should also respect women's wishes." I didn't back down and smiled brightly. "With your navy here, I believe in the security of this island."

He received my overt and implicit hints of refusal, and although he frowned slightly, he finally gave in in a gentlemanly manner, fulfilling my insistence.I thanked him again and turned around, ready to leave, but he held my hand: "Please wait."

I turned around strangely, and he quickly took my hand back.It was a little dark, so I couldn't see his face clearly.

He raised his hand and pinned a few strands of my hair behind my ears, and my ears were warm, and something was put on them.I reached out and touched, tentacle

Soft, it turns out to be a rose in full bloom, with a tangy aroma.He looked at me intently, and after a long silence, he said, "You are beautiful." His tone was very serious, not joking or flirting, but a sincere compliment.

This made me a little stunned, who knew I was a little bit different, and I didn't know how to react.And he saw my surprise and a little panic, and there seemed to be a slight trace of annoyance in his eyes.

"I just want to say, I'm not usually like this." He spoke slowly, and it was obvious that he was not very good at talking, carefully considering his words, "Can I... see you again? "

"Maybe." I smiled at him, and began to regret why I didn't directly reject his invitation. After saying this in a hurry, I turned around and left.When I looked back, I saw that he was still standing there, just looking at me.

It's fine if you don't keep up.Strange encounters, strange navy.Well, it's okay.

When I got back to the boat, the rose he gave me was bright red in the buttonhole I pinned on my chest.I hummed a little tune in a good mood, and prepared sweets made with rose petals in the kitchen.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps at the door, I looked up and saw Ace stopped in front of the door.He leaned against the porch, did not come in, his voice seemed slightly different from the past, and there was no smile on his face: "Where did you go?"

I continued to pick the edible whole roses I just bought in my hand, let the petals fall into the plate, rinse them under cold water, and answered simply: "I bought the ingredients, and then I went shopping."

Ace was very abnormal, and continued to ask persistently: "What else?"

I turned on the faucet, raised my head, picked up the towel to wipe my hands, and looked at Ace strangely.I tried to force a friendly smile, but couldn't.Giving up the smile, I looked at him with a calm tone and concise words: "I went to have a drink."

I don't know if it's my illusion, but after Ace got the answer, something seemed to sink in his eyes, and there was anger in his voice, like a weak crackling flame: "With whom?"

It is normal for him to see me drinking with Ke Ku, but why does he choose to question now?instead of asking?

My face was ugly, and my voice gradually rose: "When will I not even have the freedom to have a drink with others?"

"Girls, be careful!" Ace didn't back down, angry at my previous behavior, "You shouldn't go drinking with strange men casually! Girls should love themselves!" The last sentence was too much, as if I was a Shameless people have no moral bottom line.Women are always more sensitive than men, so they never understand why we are so neurotic.

"When did I stop loving myself!" I lost control of my emotions, and I threw the towel in my hand on the table. I felt tears welling up, and I yelled harshly. The language was clumsy, so I could only repeat this sentence , "When did I stop loving myself!"

I wouldn't go if the person I'm talking to can see that there's something wrong with it.If he's glib, I won't go.If he's going where there's a lot of fish and dragons, I won't go.I saw the navy patrolling around and maintaining law and order. Once I refused for help, they could come to help.If it weren't for the fact that the man was full of righteousness and could be seen as a principled person, I wouldn't have talked with him.I did not give him any useful information during the conversation, not even his name.Besides, when I came back, I deliberately took a lot of detours to prevent people from following me.I have my way of doing things, why do you question, why do you question?Why do you say I don't love myself!

All I have is myself and you, how can I not love myself!

Ace seemed to be aware of his unintentional excess just now, calmed down, and explained kindly: "Rain, I didn't mean that. What I want to say is that we all care about you, so we don't want to hurt you, you should be careful .”

"Us? Who are we? Everyone in the Spade Pirates agrees that I don't love myself! I've never seen you warn others like this!" I said sharply, and threw the rose on the button of my shirt to the ground hard When it fell, the originally beautiful flower could not see its original shape, and the petals were scattered all over the ground.I stomped my feet up again and completely ruined it, "So you're satisfied

? "Actually, I regretted it as soon as I stepped down, but I was really angry at the time.

"That's not what we mean!" Ace looked at the destroyed rose under my feet, with an annoyed expression, "Rain, calm down."

"Calm down?" I took a deep breath, and my voice gradually became calm, "Okay, I'll calm down. But can you tell me, who are you to me? Why do you control me like this? Ace, don't think I regard you as a friend that I can talk to, and you can start interfering in my life wantonly!" Because it was a sincere friendship, the hurt was even deeper.Because I shared the secret, I thought you were the one who knew me best.If even the people I think know me best think so, then is there any need for me to stay here?

Ace's voice also began to calm down, and he just looked at me calmly: "Rain, I am your captain."

What are you implying, Ace?I suddenly didn't want to investigate the reason for my gaffe at this moment, but I just felt tired and closed my eyes.In fact, I understand that he just cares about me... Our reactions were too extreme... But the current situation is a good opportunity...

"Even if it's the relationship between the captain and the crew, you shouldn't interfere with the private life of the crew, sir." I untied my apron, folded it, put it aside, and bowed to Ace, "Thanks for taking care of me during this time, Sorry to trouble you guys."

I actually relaxed a little in the bottom of my heart, and I kept thinking about what reason to leave. This is really a good reason.The female members made unreasonable troubles, yelled at the captain, and decided to leave the group, which seemed reasonable.

There was no room for him to refuse. I passed him by, opened the kitchen door and walked out. I didn't forget to leave three words before slamming the door: "I quit."

Please forgive me, if there is such a day, I don't want to let myself die in front of you.

The author has something to say:

Ace has an inexplicable sense of crisis~ jealous~

Then Rain was upset.

The relationship between the two is already there. (beat me up)

Rain was a little childish...but at least he calmed down(?) afterwards...
