"It's time, Miss McCalla, let's go."

Shanks stood up and stretched his muscles, and Shinobu took out a bag of Baileys from his bag and placed it on the wooden bar.

"Anyway, that Shanks guy has decided this is the place. Let's pay the money for next week in advance." She smiled and followed Shanks out. When she was about to go out, she stopped and waved, "See you next time, Mai." Miss Kara, Mia!”

Shanks also followed: "Mia, see you tomorrow~"

The two left the small bar and took away the little smoke of fireworks left in the room. McCalla picked up the money bag from the table, untied the rope and glanced at it briefly.

She knew at a glance that it was too much.

"Mom, why do they come every day? Don't they have anything to do?"

Hearing her daughter's question, McCalla shook her head and bent down to rub Mia's furry head, which was frayed from running all the way: "Mia needs to be more polite to the guests."

"Oh..." Mia pursed her lips, but did not dwell too much on this. Instead, she took out a test paper from her schoolbag. The test paper was well tucked into the pages of the book. When she took it out, it was still flat without even a single crease. " Mom, look! One hundred points! First place!"

"Awesome!" She beamed with joy, picked up Mia, and rubbed her chin against Mia's soft face, "What gift does the baby want?"

"It's enough for me to make my mother happy! By the way, mother, school... I have to pay tuition next week."

If Mia had said it an hour earlier, she would have definitely had a headache. The bar's receivables were barely enough for their living expenses... She had not had new clothes for more than a year, and Mia usually had no entertainment activities...

But now, she held a heavy Bailey in her hand.

……

The sky is blocked by dense trees, cut into small pieces like a puzzle, and the light casts mottled shadows from the small holes.

It rained lightly last night, and the smell of pine and cypress drifted past Xiao Ren with the wind in the mountains, and the fragrance was a little bitter. She rubbed her nose, but couldn't help but sneeze.

Shanks, who was in the front, immediately turned back: "What's wrong? Do you feel cold?"

"No...but you should wear more clothes next time. After all, it will cause trouble for you if you get sick every autumn rain and cold."

"I don't find it troublesome."

"So you want me to get sick?" Xiao Ren didn't think Shanks' words were romantic. Because this is the truth. Unlike his appearance, he was unexpectedly patient and even took good care of the noisy Bucky...

"Huh?" Shanks was stunned for a moment, then immediately came over and put his arm on her arm, his eyes slightly widened to show his 100% sincerity, "No!"

"Really?"

"real!"

"Hmm~" She suppressed her laughter, stepped on his arm, and pulled him forward faster, "Anyway, the cold will be transmitted to you first, and you will also have a big nose. Do you know about the crystal pendant? "

"What crystal pendant?"

"My parents, a person named Xuxu Baobao, got a bad cold, and then during the live broadcast... ah, no, he was performing on the stage. Yes, when performing on the stage, he blocked his nose with paper, and then sneeze There was a long string of snot. It was dangling on my nose and I was named Crystal Pendant." After she finished speaking, Shanks had no reaction. She couldn't help but laugh. This shot was unacceptable. He put it away, laughing so hard that he held his stomach and leaned on Shanks' shoulder.

It can be said to be a famous live broadcast scene. That scene has been deeply imprinted in her mind... It is still so fun to think about it now.

She laughed for a long time, and the muscles on her face became a little stiff before she stopped. She straightened up and saw that Shanks was still confused. She rubbed the saline solution from the corners of her eyes and said, "You may not be able to imagine the scene from the oral description. I'll show you the replay if I have a chance...although I'll never have the chance in this life." "

Shanks: "?"

Shanks: "I can also imagine..."

"Then why are you still dumbfounded? It seems like I'm not normal. Don't you believe me?"

"No," he scratched his head, "Why do you call him baby?"

"Is this the focus?!" Xiao Ren said, and then thought for a moment that the name was indeed a bit misleading, so he explained, "I call him baby... because that's what his name is, and everyone calls him that. .”

Shanks: "The name of Wano Country... is so strange..."

She patted Shanks, who was a little speechless, on the shoulder: "Young man, you still have too little experience. Let's learn from the 30-year-old you."

“What’s wrong with me at 30?”

What's wrong? To say it would be a spoiler. And...has her arrival also changed the original plot? Maybe it will be different in the future. After experiencing different lives, will Shanks develop a different personality?

She was looking forward to it. Although she couldn't predict the future, there was one thing she was 100% sure of.

"You are 30 years old——"

"Uh-huh?"

"So handsome~"

"Really? What's it like?"

He didn't ask "how do you know" but "what is it like". Xiao Ren couldn't tell the specific difference between these two sentences, but instinctively they felt different.

It is this kind of "unknown" that is the most tormenting, making people keep wondering what the difference is. She shook her head, trying to get this thought out of her head.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing." She felt that her heartbeat was a little faster than usual. The thumping was very existential. She didn't know if Shanks could hear it. She pushed him away from her, "He is handsome, how can he be so handsome?" So many questions. As the saying goes, you look older at the age of three...wait..."

As if she thought of something, she took his wrist and pulled him closer to her. She held his face in her hands and looked at him closely for a while.

Until Shanks, who was very nervous, felt a little uncomfortable... She slowly said: "This doesn't seem to apply to you. If you enlarge it to the same proportion, you are also a refreshing school grass type... What on earth have you experienced... "

"You are...what are you talking about?"

She raised a finger and pointed at the sky: "Don't worry, it's just nonsense~"

……

They place their eggs deep in the forest, which is why they always come here. They cut down the surrounding trees to make boats. Without the branches and leaves to block them, the egg can better soak up the sun... But it was also completely exposed to the rain last night.

"It will be strong, right?" Xiao Ren put his hands on his hips and looked up at the top of the egg. It showed no signs of breaking out of its shell, and was as complete and smooth as a work of art carved by a craftsman. If the knowledgeable boss on the ship hadn't said that there was indeed a sound inside, she would have suspected that it was a lie.

"Yeah!" Shanks affirmed. He put his hand on the eggshell and put his ear to it. Xiao Nin also followed suit. After listening for a long time, there was nothing but the crisp chirping of birds in the mountains.

"What did you hear?" she asked.

"No." Shanks answered honestly.

"...So what are we listening to?"

Shanks' ears left the eggshell, and his eyes were like a good mother-in-law looking forward to giving birth to her daughter-in-law: "I don't know when it will hatch."

incubation? Shinobu felt like a famous detective in anime when he discovered a problem, and a burst of electricity flashed through his mind. Then, Blind Sheng discovered Hua Dian: "Speaking of this... hatching... does it have to... hatch?"
