I rely on healing powers to save my life

Facing Shiratori Natsu's gaze, Oda Sakunosuke was rarely nervous.

Oda Sakunosuke took a deep breath, and wanted to say something, but the children beside him couldn't wait any longer.

Xingsuke pushed Shiratori Natsu, "Okay, Odasaku, let's talk later if you have anything to say, we are going to take Brother Shiratori to see our secret base."

"That's right, you won't be able to see it when the tide rises." Shinji nodded.

Even Saku Le pulled Shiratori Xia anxiously, "That's a gift we specially prepared for Shiratori, it would be bad if it was washed away by the tide."

Stared at by five pairs of small eyes, Oda Sakunosuke had no choice but to let go of Shiratori Natsu's hand.

The children cheered and surrounded Shiratori Xia towards their secret base.

Before leaving, Kosuke didn't forget to turn his head and tell Oda Sakunosuke, "Oda Saku, don't follow me."

Shiratori Natsu also turned her head, and Oda Sakunosuke stood there and nodded helplessly, but with gentle eyes, watching his children go away.

Silent but gentle, like a calm sea and a brackish sea breeze.

The secret base the kids were talking about was actually a naturally formed hollow in the lower half of a reef.

This void is only revealed when the tide is low.

The children led Natsu Shiratori into the hole, and Xingsuke mysteriously took out a small box from the side and held it in front of Natsu Shiratori.

"This is our present for you."

Shiratori Xia took the box curiously, "Thank you."

"Quickly open it and have a look." Saki Le urged from the side.

The small box is a small wooden box, not to mention how delicate it is, but it was carefully locked by the children.

Shiratori Natsu took the key from Shinji and opened the box, and the contents inside were reflected in Shiratori Natsu's eyes.

The small box is full of all kinds of shells, which seem to have been carefully selected by the children. Every shell is very complete and beautiful. Shiratori Xia even found a few pearls in the corner of the box .

The pearls are of different sizes, some are light-colored and some are purple-black. It seems that the children have tried their best to choose regular-shaped pearls to put in, but they are not as round as the pearls sold in the market.

Shiratori Xia raised her head and saw the expectant eyes of the children.

These little things may not be worth much, but they are all collected and carefully selected by these children and given to him, which is more precious than any money.

Shiratori Xia smiled and rolled her eyes, "Thank you, I like it very much."

Hearing that Shiratori Xia liked it, the children's eyes lit up, as if a galaxy of stars had fallen into it.

Xingsuke was originally the most active one, but at this moment he suddenly felt embarrassed, he wiped his nose and looked away, "You, as long as you like it."

Saki Le's big eyes were filled with anticipation, "If Shiratori likes it, we will keep collecting beautiful shells for Shiratori in the future, so can Shiratori also agree to our request?"

Shiratori Xia asked curiously, "What request?"

Saku Le and the rest of the children looked at each other, they nodded, Saku Le stepped forward and said, "We hope you can stay with Oda Saku."

Shiratori Xia was taken aback when he heard this, "Huh?"

"Odasaku has always taken care of us. He has devoted a lot of time and energy to take care of us. We don't want us to be a burden to Odasaku. We want Odasaku to have his own happiness." Saku Le said seriously.

"We all know that Odasaku likes you very much, very much." Shinji squeezed in and said.

"During your absence, Odasaku has been looking for you. Although he never told us about this, we are not children anymore." You said.

"During that time, Odasaku was in a bad mood." Katsumi recalled while crossing his chest.

Xingsuke nodded, and said in a very formal tone: "So we have unanimously decided to ask you to stay with Oda Saku."

After speaking, the children relaxed as if they had finished a formal action.

Shinji: "After all, Odasaku is 27 years old."

You: "If you don't look for a wife, you may not be able to find it."

Saki Le: "The books say that no one wants an old man with a child."

Katsumi: "Odasaku brought five more!"

Xingsuke: "And because I bought this hut, I don't have much savings."

The five children looked at each other and sighed like little adults worried about their families.

Shiratori Xia was amused by these children.

Shiratori Natsu patted their heads one by one, "Does Odasaku know that you are doing this?"

"Of course I don't know." Assistant Xing said confidently, "We're going to do it secretly."

Saku Le looked at Shiratori Natsu, and frowned worriedly, "Does Shiratori not like Odasaku?"

Shiratori Xia pondered for a moment, "It's not that I don't like it..."

"That's what I like." Saku Le nodded.

Shiratori Xia looked at Saki Le's bright eyes and didn't know how to answer the little girl for a moment.

"Believe us, although Odasaku is no longer a badass, he is definitely a good person. He is very gentle and caring. He will never get angry at us, and he will never make you unhappy."

"And I won't cheat!"

"Because he likes you very, very much, so much that every time he mentions you in front of us, he will smile unconsciously."

"He has a stable job, three outlooks are upright, and he is a good man!"

The five children looked at Shiratori Xia sincerely, and Shiratori Xia blinked.

Just as he was thinking about how to answer, he was knocked on the outside of the reef.

Oda Sakunosuke's voice came in from outside, "The tide is about to rise, remember to come out quickly."

Xingsuke poked his head out from the reef, "Odasaku, how do you know we're here!"

"I guessed it." Oda Sakunosuke pressed Kosuke's head, "You need to practice more to deceive a detective, little guy."

Xingsuke flung his teeth and claws free from Oda Sakuyuki's assistant, "That's right, you are now a detective."

"Of course." Oda Sakunosuke looked into the reef, "You guys also come out quickly."

"Okay." The children responded and crawled out from the hole in the reef.

Shiratori Xia followed behind the children, just lowered her body, and put a hand in front of him.

"These reefs are very slippery, don't slip on them."

"Hmm." Shiratori Xia responded, took Oda Sakunosuke's hand, and walked out of the reef with his strength.

"Go back to eat, the boss has already prepared the food." Oda Sakunosuke waved to the children.

When they heard that dinner was about to be served, the children scattered and ran towards the restaurant, and even started a competition for who would go back to the hut first.

Half a minute later, only Natsu Shiratori and Sakunosuke Oda were left walking slowly on the beach behind.

Oda Sakunosuke glanced at the small box in Shiratori Natsu's hand, and coughed lightly, "Don't mind if the children say something strange to you."

Shiratori Xia laughed and shook her head, "It's nothing, but it can be seen that the children like you very much."

"After that incident, the children really depended on me more than before."

Oda Sakunosuke didn't specify what it was, but both Shiratori Natsu and Oda Sakunosuke knew it.

If Shiratori Xia hadn't arrived in time that time, the children would not be living in the hut safe and sound.

Suddenly, Oda Sakunosuke stopped, "Shiratori."

"Huh?" Shiratori Xia also stopped in her tracks.

Oda Sakunosuke looked up, and behind Shiratori Natsu was a hut with a blue roof facing the sea, and a small flag was waving on the hut.

Everything was extremely similar to the scenes he had imagined countless times.

Oda Sakunosuke spoke softly, as if afraid of shattering the dream, "I haven't told you all this time, I really appreciate you saving the child and me."

"It's nothing to worry about, we are friends after all." Shiratori Xia blinked.

Oda Sakunosuke shook his head, "After you disappeared, I have been feeling guilty. I often think, if you hadn't come back from Europe and activated the ability to treat me, would you not have left."

Shiratori Natsu frowned slightly, and was about to speak when Oda Sakunosuke interrupted him.

"But when I saw you again, I was despicably grateful for the result, because I can still see you, touch you, and have the opportunity to say these words to you."

Oda Sakunosuke looked into Shiratori Natsu's eyes, the blue eyes were like the sea behind him, "I hope you can always stay by my side, Shiratori."

I like you.

Shiratori Xia took a small breath, the same as when facing Xia Youjie and Ji Guoyuanyi before, he didn't know how to respond to Oda Sakunosuke.

He couldn't figure out the meaning of the emotion in his heart, the sound of the beating heart.

Shiratori Xia opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say to the person in front of her.

"It doesn't matter if I don't reply now, you are always welcome in the cottage."

As soon as Oda Sakunosuke finished speaking, Saku Le poked his head out from behind Oda Sakunosuke and tugged at Oda Sakunosuke's sleeve, "Oda Sakunosuke! You are so slow! What are you talking about? We are waiting for you."

Oda Sakunosuke bowed his head and smiled apologetically, rubbing Saku's head, "Sorry, we'll go there now."

Saku Le's eyes turned around on Oda Sakunosuke and Shiratori Natsu, and suddenly he covered his mouth as if suddenly realizing, "I won't bother you."

"No." Shiratori Xia raised her foot and stepped forward, reaching out her hand to Saki Le, "Let's go."

Saku Le glanced at Oda Sakunosuke, took Shiratori Natsu's hand, leaned close to Shiratori Natsu and said cautiously: "You don't mean to reject Oda Saku, do you?"

"What are you talking about?" Shiratori Natsu patted Sakuro's head, then looked back at Oda Sakunosuke, "Let's go."

"Okay." Oda Sakunosuke nodded and followed Shiratori Natsu and Sakuru's footsteps.

Lunch was long-lost curry. Natsu Shiratori ate sweet curry with the children, and Sakunosuke Oda enjoyed a large plate of spicy curry all by himself.

The owner of the restaurant was very happy with the arrival of Shiratori Xia, and kept chatting with Shiratori Xia.

After lunch, Shiratori Natsu was dragged to the second floor of the hut by the children in the afternoon. In the evening, Shiratori Natsu and Oda Sakunosuke drove the last bus back to the commercial street.

Oda Sakunosuke was worried about Shiratori Natsu, and sent Shiratori Natsu downstairs all the way.

Shiratori Xia stood under the residential building and waved to Sakunosuke Oda, "My house is above, you can go back."

"OK, bye."

"Bye-Bye."

Saying goodbye to Oda Sakunosuke, Shiratori Natsu went upstairs.

Open the door with the key, the room was pitch black, Shiratori Natsu turned on the light without any hassle.

The moment the lights came on, the figure sitting on the sofa was reflected in Shiratori Xia's peripheral vision, and Shiratori Xia was caught off guard and shivered in fright.

Ji Guoyuan turned his head and saw Shiratori Xia, who was obviously startled, tilted his head, "What's wrong, Shiratori?"

Only then did Shiratori Xia's stiff brain realize that Ji Guoyuan is now living in his house.

Shiratori Xia patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief, "Why don't you turn on the light."

"I'm waiting for you."

"Eh?" Shiratori Xia Wenyan looked at Ji Guoyuan, "Have you been waiting?"

Ji Guoyuan nodded, "Well, I've been waiting."
