"Why, I've only been out for over a week." Devi jumped down from the railing and approached Ace with a smile.

"What's wrong? You miss me so much?"

Looking at Dawi who suddenly approached him, Ace suddenly wanted to take two steps back, but he still resisted this feeling and was stunned for a while before speaking.

"Um... it's not because of this..."

"What? I've been away for more than a week and you didn't miss me at all. I'm so sad~" Davie pretended to be sad and pursed her lips.

"That's not the case! I definitely miss Xiao Xuehua! It's just...it's just..." Ace frowned and waved his hands quickly, hesitating.

"What's that?" Dai Wei tilted her head, a little confused as to why the child in front of her had so many worries.

"Ou Yaji asked me to be the captain of the second team." Ace sighed: "I just think..."

Ace seemed to have thought of something and stopped talking in the middle of his speech.

"Well, I know that. That's what I meant." Davey stretched out a hand and patted Ace's exposed back: "Ace is very strong. Even Ou Yaji admits that you are a captain-level player. What's wrong with that?"

"Why, do you think you are too weak? Unworthy of the position of captain of the second squad?"

"It's not because of this..." Ace sighed, looking at the girl in front of him who was staring at him with a smile, hesitating again and again, but in the end he didn't say anything...

"Since it's none of them, don't worry about it so much. Look what gift I brought you." Like a magic trick, Davie put her hands behind her back, reached into the space, and a black box appeared in her hands.

"Dangdangdang~" As if to show off, Davey opened the box, and a black bracelet appeared in front of Ace: "How about it, it looks good, right? I picked it carefully."

"Wow—" Ace exclaimed politely, took the box, and held up the bracelet to examine it: "Is this for me?"

"This is the second gift I received after going to sea." After putting on the bracelet, Ace raised his hands in the sun, and black snowflakes swayed.

"What's the first one?"

"My adoptive mother Dadan gave them to me." Ace touched the red beads on his neck and said, "I will cherish both of them."

"I'm glad you like it, but there's no need to be too cautious." Davi held Ace's wrist and put her face close to the snowflake.

Circling seagulls, sparkling sea, bright sunshine, and gentle sea breeze.

The girl's cheek was pressed against his wrist. The close distance allowed Ace to see the fine hairs on her face. Her deep blue eyes reflected Ace's stunned look at the moment, and her soft voice reached his ears.

"After all, this snowflake...will not melt."

[Boom! Boom!] The sound of the heartbeat was deafening.

Ace stared at the scene blankly, unwilling to take his eyes off it for even a second, his palm frozen in mid-air. Even though Davi was only holding it lightly, Ace was unable to move at all.

The white hair emits a faint halo in the sunlight, and for some reason it feels very good to touch.

Thinking of this, Ace did just that, his wrist being held moved down slightly, and the touch on his hand was just as he imagined, very soft.

"Ace?" Devi asked in confusion. Ace in front of her was turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like shrimps gradually becoming cooked in a pot.

[Boom boom! Boom boom!] It’s jumping faster!

The world seemed to become quiet, with only the sound of Ace's heartbeat continuing to roar.

Ace stood there with his mouth open, suddenly feeling that the world was becoming a little dizzy.

He felt as if he was burning up. No, he was really burning up.

"Ace!" Dawi hurriedly stepped back, looking at the man in front of her who was suddenly on fire.

[Is it necessary for this child to react so violently? ]

"Ah..." Ace seemed to react suddenly and covered his heart, trying to stop its violent beating in this way.

Dawi looked at the scene in confusion and tilted her head. What was this for?

"Well!" Ace stuttered, "I suddenly remembered that Thatch asked me to put out the fire, no, to light it. I'll go over there first!"

The panicked back looked exactly like that night.

【. . . 】

Shaking her head in confusion, Dawi sighed, turned and walked towards the training room. Usually at this time, Leah would be practicing in the training room.

"Lady Dawi." To Dawi's surprise, she saw Leah just after turning a corner.

After only a few months, Leah, who was less than 1.5 meters tall, grew to nearly 1.8 meters tall, and her face gradually grew into a softer one.

Her slightly round eyes gradually became narrower and longer as her body grew, just like a knife that was gradually being unsealed, emitting her sharpness bit by bit, with an almost paranoid piety.

"Oh, what a coincidence, you are here. I was just about to look for you." She raised her hand and wanted to touch Leah's head as usual, but when she saw the height difference between her and Leah, she put her hand down.

With her half-closed eyes, one cannot see Liya's expression: "What a coincidence, Lady Devi."

"Here, a gift for you." Taking out a wooden box from the space, Dawi handed it to Leah. The latter took it obediently but did not leave. She still looked at Dawi quietly.

"Why don't you open it and take a look?" The reaction was a little different from what Davie expected. She thought he would be somewhat happy.

"Lady Devi." Liya said, "I also want to be like Ace."

"Like Ace?" Devi was a little confused.

"I want to touch it, too." Leah had a serious look on her face, and it was obvious that she was not joking.

"Ah?" After a moment of shock, Davey finally responded: "What... If you touch me too much, I won't be able to grow taller."

He raised Leah's hand and placed it on his head: "Come on, just for once."

The touch under her hand was very similar to the Persian cat in the arms of a nobleman that Leah had seen from afar. Although she had never actually touched it, it should be about the same feeling.

A smile appeared on Liya's face: "Thank you! Lord Devi!"

Seeing Liya looking visibly happy, Devi muttered in confusion: "What? You look much happier now than when you received the gift."

It was clearly a gift I brought specially, so why were the two people's reactions... so weird.

Is it possible that I am not suitable to give gifts to others?
