Chapter 9, A Romantic and Blissful Kiss in the Air

I simply said, you must wear the mask, otherwise the consequences could be unimaginable. I whispered to him, noticing his eyelashes flutter slightly.

"Who are you?" Yi Ming gazed at Ze Jiu Ying with a somewhat complex expression.

Since you like my mask so much, I will come a little closer so you can see it more clearly, don't you think? After a while, Ze Jiu Ying leaned in front of me, her melodious voice carrying a hint of light, alluring laughter

Um... I hurriedly pushed Ze Jiu Ying aside, blushing as I lowered my head to answer the phone. Yi Ming had called twice, and since he was looking for me so urgently, it might be something important.

The sound of rushing water

I do not know how to tell Yiming... How can I destroy the dreams in the heart of a good brother

I felt my cheeks flush with a "whoosh," and I awkwardly wanted to step back, only to realize that my back was already pressed against the railing

The noisy sounds gradually faded away as the "Shen Ying" took off. It is unclear how long it took, but the "Shen Ying" ceased its ascent and began to fly steadily, the surroundings became quiet, and even the wind turned gentle

Am I not uninjured now? When do you think you will be able to come? I found a spot to sit on the flat "Divine Eagle" deck, surrounded by exquisite railings, with matching seats on both sides, splendid and grand.

The "Eagle" quietly ascended from the clock tower, silently soaring into the sky. I excitedly grasped the lever, raised my head, and curiously looked around.

I wanted to continue asking, but Hua Ying Ye merely pressed her lips together and said nothing, ultimately choosing to ignore me altogether

He doesn't have R! Attention, everyone, please pay attention to safety, do not push around, and do not get too close to the hot air balloon to avoid accidents. I am replying on behalf of Ze Jiu Ying, how could a robot possibly have R, and even if it did, it wouldn't casually tell others.

That gentle and tender kiss made me forget everything, as if it were going to melt me completely

He grasped my wrist, his gentle lips pressed against my ear, softly saying: "Sister Wei, I said I like you too"

He changed into the uniform of the Cosmic Academy. The fitted uniform with a black base and white trim could not conceal his perfect physique, tall and well-proportioned, resembling the protagonists from comic books. Even while wearing a magnificent golden mask, he exuded an irresistible charm, a mysterious and strikingly present young man, impossible to overlook

The beautiful young man wearing a mask! What is your name? A girl curiously inquired, half of her body leaning out of the hot air balloon, how dangerous!

Zejiao Ying's eyelashes fluttered twice, and he leaned closer. What was he going to do? ... I stared at him in a daze, and in a flash, he kissed my lips again

Hehe... Yiming's laughter became somewhat strange, and then it seemed that he lowered his voice to say something. I couldn't hear clearly, I only saw Zejiu Ying frown, and then he placed my miniature communicator on the control panel of the Shenying.

Is this what you said you would prepare this morning? I walked around the Eagle, this "bird" is astonishingly large, and even I do not know where I found the courage to climb up just now

"Then you hold it for me first. Wearing a mask makes it impossible to truly face you. Don't you want to see my appearance?" His long fingers gently pinched the back of my hand, stopping my movement

"It's nothing." Ze Jiu Ying replied softly, her eyes as bright as glass shimmering with a gentle light, as if a pair of warm hands had touched the depths of one's heart

"Sister Wei, you don't need to frown so tightly; it is truly safe now." His gentle and melodious voice resonated in my ears, and then I heard the sound of him removing his mask

Be careful, this is very dangerous! I watched them with trepidation, oh my, if they fall, it would be a matter of being shattered to pieces

I am in the sky

The hot air balloon slowly ascended, and at the critical last second, I hurriedly helped Ze Jiu Ying put on the mask, so as not to be seen by my classmates. Phew, fortunately, my movements were quick

To be precise, this is not called a mobile phone. Four centuries ago, this object was referred to as a mobile phone. However, in the 25th century today, it is called—induction energy. Commonly known as: AA

In the afternoon, upon receiving a text message from Ze Jiu Ying, I took the grass car to the Spiral Clock Tower. Beneath the clock tower lies a grove of hearts that was just opened to the public on Love Day, where many small robots are placed on the trees, each engraved with names of love. Today, there are particularly many people here

"Do you really think jumping down from such a height will be fine?" After a while, I nervously expressed my inner unease.

Heavens! I must not be dreaming! I held my breath, my fingertips suddenly trembled, and the AA communicator worn on my fingertips began to vibrate. I raised my hand to sneak a glance, and what was displayed was—Flower Shadow Night!

Then I will just hang up for now... I quickly ended the call with AA, and the ringing finally ceased

Is he concerned about me? I leaned closer to the screen to see more clearly, and the concern in his beautiful eyes stirred a wave of longing within me

There are too many people here, and I am truly concerned that his appearance will cause trouble; even if he wears a mask, it is still too conspicuous

Ling Qing? The shadow of the flowers drifted as his indifferent gaze swept across my cheek. He seemed to hold a strong prejudice against Ling Qing, mockingly saying, "You actually believe her words? I never made an appointment with you at all."

I cannot be certain, I can only gaze at him anxiously: "I did not hear that incorrectly, did I?!"

"Why don't you ask me where the transmission port is? I will definitely tell you. Or... do you think that by hiding the Ruyi communicator in my sleeve, I wouldn't know that you are using 'crawling'?" The voice of Zeyou Ying came from the communicator in my sleeve. I secretly stuck out my tongue; it was terrible that my actions had been discovered by him, how embarrassing!

Zejou Sakura pressed the booster, raising the aircraft. The "Divine Eagle" ascended rapidly and smoothly, and the swift upward pressure made me somewhat uncomfortable. The strong wind tousled my hair, and even the lapels of my clothing were blown about with a "flap flap" sound.

How could I have such a strange thought? Even if he wants to kiss me, he must wear a mask! Safety first! Moreover, is it even possible for him to kiss me? ... He must be joking with me ...

His twinkling, sparkling eyes were fixed on me, and at that moment, I realized the distance between Ze Jiu Ying and me was quite ambiguous. Along with Yi Ming, there was also Hua Ying Ye, who stood high above on the pirate ship, his sharp gaze sweeping meaningfully across my face.

My thoughts are in turmoil, joy mixed with doubt, a complex feeling settling in my heart. Did he really say he likes me

The wind brushes past the tip of the nose, and the breath is filled with a familiar and pleasant subtle fragrance of lilies, elegant and enchanting

"I have arrived." Accompanied by a gentle voice, Zhe Jiu Ying miraculously appeared before me. He had entered through the transmission portal, so he was enveloped in a faint glow, which vanished in the blink of an eye

You speak first

The lightweight and paper-thin communication device suddenly displayed the video image of the other party... A magnificent golden mask appeared on the screen, and Ze Jiu Ying's deep brown eyes sparkled with brilliance, showing no distortion even after passing through the electronic display.

You should refrain from looking at this strange thing, as it may cause nightmares at night. He displayed a subtle and elegant smile, gentle yet handsome, as he put away the letter

"Look, look! There are so many hot air balloons over there!" I excitedly pointed to a certain direction, tugging at Zhe Jiu Ying's sleeve. It is worth noting that hot air balloons were replaced by aerial sightseeing vehicles in the last century. From the 21st century to the 25th century, the only aerial vehicle that has remained unchanged is the helicopter; all other flying machines have long been replaced by new generations of products. Perhaps out of nostalgia, people in the 25th century have turned helicopters into "antiques," and wealthy individuals almost all have collections of them.

"Then... could it be that this machine was made by you?" I cautiously raised my eyes to look at him; otherwise, how could he have the right to test-fly it? I blinked slightly and found that he was merely looking at me noncommittally, a faint smile playing on his pink, glossy lips.

Hello! Why did the call drop! An Mingwei, are you all...'' The voice of Yi Ming came from the pirate ship

I took out the Ruyi communicator

"I originally intended to invite you, but you hung up on my call, it turns out you were with him." Huaying Ye seemed to be speaking to himself, covering the transparent controller as he adjusted the speed and flight direction of the aircraft. I detected a hint of dissatisfaction in his somewhat unusual tone, and I was certain it was not my illusion

"Just pretend you don't know, please don't expose me!" I took out the communicator and awkwardly looked at Ze Jiu Ying on the screen

I know I am safe, but he is so close to me, how can I open my eyes?

I saw nothing at all. His response remained brief, and then he pulled me aside so that I would not obstruct him, hindering his control, but his movements were much gentler.

There is a voice in my heart reminding me ... ! ... It is time! It is time to say that sentence!

Beneath the shining and gigantic wings of the eagle, the words "Divine Eagle" are inscribed. I cannot find the transmission port, and I can only muster the courage to climb up.

You put it on! I raised the volume, and my expression became serious

Beautiful boy! I am a mask enthusiast! Could you leave me a phone number?

I had thought he would coldly berate me, but he did not; he merely glanced at me.

"Did you see the fairy or not? If you did, remember to give her the letter." The voice of Yiming came through the miniature earpiece, and I stood beside it, hearing it clearly. This meant that Zeyou Ying also heard my earlier conversation with Yiming

Yi Ming looked at me speechless, while the girls surrounding Hua Ying Ye and Yi Ming beside me had their jaws nearly dropping to the ground, gazing at me in a half-dreaming, half-awake state

The white clouds float in the sky, with pure white strands drifting all around, gliding in the wind

Rumbling ... ...

"Who I am is not important. The fairy you are looking for does not exist at all. It would be better for you to give up early to avoid wasting your energy." Ze Jiu Ying returned the communication headset on the console to me and whispered softly in my ear, "Sister Wei, I am leaving now. See you next time"

I saw my slightly flushed face clearly reflected in his eyes

His actions undoubtedly attracted the attention of the students, and more and more men and women with hot air balloons nearby gasped in surprise, the noisy sounds surged in an instant

As I was speaking, in the blink of an eye, I felt a force pressing down on me, and my lips were captured by Ze Jiu Ying's delicate pink lips

Not long after, a large flying object approached from the sky, a gigantic pirate ship silently sailed parallel to the "Divine Eagle". Ze Jiu Ying quickly put on her mask

"Sister Wei, I think it would be better if you do not answer the phone. If your friend asks you to go find him, that is not very realistic. Our current situation makes it inconvenient to return to the surface," Ze Jiu Ying gently reminded me, her soft voice seeming to melt one's heart, gradually breaking down the defenses within me.

"Put on the mask quickly; if they come up and see you, it will definitely cause a stir!" I hurriedly handed the mask to Ze Jiu Ying, urging him anxiously.

No need for that, quickly put on the mask; it would be bad if someone finds out!" I hurriedly took his mask and put it on his face.

"If you like my mask so much, I will give it to you," he said. He removed the golden mask from his face, revealing his handsome features. A gentle breeze stirred the bangs on his forehead, and his charming smile was exposed to the sunlight, making his skin appear even fairer in the daylight.

He just kissed me, which means I still have hope

"What will you do if you get hurt..." His gentle voice was so faint that I almost thought I was imagining it, but I clearly saw his lips move, and the shape of his lips confirmed it.

Her soft lips gently pressed against mine, the tender and light touch leaving me bewildered and deeply entranced. A faint floral fragrance lingered at the tip of my nose, that familiar scent intoxicating me. A warm current rose from the depths of my heart, ... merging into every cell of my body, this feeling ... ! ... sweet, warm, and utterly enchanting !

The faint scent of lily flowers wafted into my nose, and I found myself somewhat intoxicated

Swish

Classmate, what is your R? My R is HU67287636, feel free to contact me when you have time! A girl was vigorously waving at us, and the boys next to her looked pale, seemingly on the verge of exploding with anger

R is currently the most advanced human body sensing tracking device. As long as it receives the sensing signal, it can locate the other party, provided that one knows the tracking password of the other person. Such a high-tech private number is certainly not something that would be casually shared with others. These girls really are...

I was deeply shaken; this time I heard very clearly that he really said the same thing to me, that he also likes me! I was almost overwhelmed with joy and on the verge of tears

... ...

My AA ringtone has sounded again, and this time the unique ringtone from AA is specifically for a call from Yiming

Suddenly

Hoo Hoo

Suddenly

I was so startled that I immediately opened my eyes, blushing and hurriedly saying: "I just opened them..." However—

Sister Wei..." Ze Jiu Ying slightly lowered his head, gently laughing as he leaned closer to me. He reached out and gently brushed aside the messy strands of hair from my forehead, allowing my gaze to fully meet his gentle eyes

Ah! I have finally seen the latest flying tool, the 'Divine Eagle', which has been secretly developed for half a year!

I understand your concerns, and I will find an opportunity to inform him. I nodded in agreement, as continuing to delay would indeed be detrimental to Yi Ming.

Almost simultaneously, Ze Jiu Ying hung up for me! He seemed to notice that I was distracted while kissing and punished me by biting my lip!

Not yet. I almost forgot about the matter of the letter

I let out a sigh of relief, raised my head with ease, and noticed that the flower shadow, Ye, was quietly watching me from the side, her light brown eyes reflecting a somewhat complex expression

Oh my goodness! The girl next to the beautiful young man is actually the Night Watcher An Mingwei! Wuwuwu! No, no, I don't want this!" A girl raised her head and shook it vigorously, while others took out binoculars to observe.

"It's calling me! The beautiful boy is concerned about me! You ugly monster, stop being so self-important!" Nearby, some girls began to express their dissatisfaction, and the two started to bicker incessantly. Apparently, they had completely forgotten about me. I looked at them helplessly and sighed.

No wonder there are no external aircraft over the academy today; it seems the roads have been closed. This holiday appears to be quite significant, otherwise, there would be no need to go to such lengths to close the roads

Why haven't you put it on yet? Hurry up and put it on! I am anxiously watching him, I am almost going crazy!

Under the sunlight, vibrant colors flow beautifully, as if he can see through my thoughts. My heart skips a beat, and my expression becomes somewhat evasive; I don't need to touch my face to know that I am blushing.

In fact, there are some things that you are not yet in a position to know. When the time is right, I will slowly tell you... The voice of Ze Jiu Ying floated in the wind, faint and elusive. I could only vaguely hear his voice, but I did not catch it clearly.

"If you don't speak up, he will continue to misunderstand. Moreover, he merely wants to see what I look like; he just wants to confirm that I exist." Ze Jiu Ying gazed intently at me, her exquisite and three-dimensional features, reminiscent of a mixed-race beauty, showed no flaws under the sunlight

"I like you." The words were almost whispered simultaneously by Zeku Sakura, who stood before me

However, the disappearance of the bell does not signify the vanishing of the crowd; the hot air balloons continue to hover around, and the students' discussions have never ceased.

Who is that boy! His silhouette is very slender, and judging by his figure, he must be a handsome young man

I suddenly recalled the kiss from earlier, my fingers involuntarily brushing against my lips, as if the warmth from that moment still lingered between my lips, a few strands of sweetness unfurling on my tongue

"No, I wasn't thinking of anything at all. I just think your mask is beautiful." I hastily found a reason to prevent him from asking me again. Just as he was about to speak, I immediately interrupted him, "By the way, was the test flight of the 'Divine Eagle' considered a success? Are there still any issues with it?" I tried to smile, my eyes crescent-shaped. "By the way, was the test flight of the 'Divine Eagle' considered a success? Are there still any issues with it?" I tried to smile, my eyes crescent-shaped.

Alright, I will head up first. There are many students under the spiral clock tower, so please be careful. As I adjusted the functions of the communicator, I looked up to observe the position of the Great Eagle's transmission entrance.

While others hold hands, he always prefers to squeeze mine

You even had Lingqing tell me to wait for you, how could I possibly be mistaken

In the center of the silver wing, there is a row of sleek controllers and a transparent steering wheel. Ze Jiu Ying extended her slender fingers and lightly pressed a key in the control area, activating the "Divine Eagle".

What should I do? I don't want to wear it now. He looked at me very seriously, and I was almost startled enough by his words to fall to the ground. Did he say he didn't want to wear it?! I must have misheard, what is there to consider at this moment?!

I gently pressed my lips together, is he joking with me? Yet his tone is very serious! That enlarged, magnificent mask is getting closer and closer to me, dazzling beyond compare

Sister Wei, come to the ceiling of the Spiral Clock Tower, there is a surprise!

The sound of rushing water

I slightly widened my eyes, blinking in disbelief. He, he, he...? Did he just say he likes me?! I must have heard wrong! Does this mean we both confessed at the same time?

As for what he said about the 'fairy', it was merely an excuse to drag me out. " Zekuoying's lips moved, speaking quickly and softly, and I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I nearly missed his words

What are you thinking about, so lost in thought? Is it..." He seemed to elongate his tone ambiguously, his starry eyes subtly filled with a profound smile.

He gently pressed the mask and turned off the Ruyi communicator

After an unknown amount of time spent talking with Yi Ming, Ze Jiu Ying could no longer contain himself. He gently took my hand, lightly pressed the AA I was wearing on my fingertip, removed the miniature earplug I had in, and held it to his ear to listen to Yi Ming chattering incessantly on the other end of the AA

This is it; it is the latest advanced aircraft developed by the Cosmic Academy, equipped with the world's most cutting-edge flight technology. Today, it will undergo its test flight. His long fingers caressed the magnificent metal railing, as the gentle sunlight danced at his fingertips, radiating a brilliant glow

I looked up and saw him, frantically shouting into the communicator at his fingertips. Halfway through his call, he noticed me, and the communicator in his hand fell directly to the ground

The production of the 'Divine Eagle' has been very successful, with no issues whatsoever, and it can be returned in a few days

"An Mingwei, where are you? Have you delivered the letter to the fairy?" The childish voice of Yiming came through the phone.

It is Ze Jiu Ying, it is his palm! I can feel the warmth emanating from his hand, so familiar, so warm, the fear in my heart gradually diminishes, replaced by sweetness

"Did you not tell him that I am not a woman?" Ze Jiu Ying approached me, her expression gentle.

In an instant, the temperature of my face rose rapidly; his lips were very soft, and I felt as if my entire body was enveloped by a warm, trembling force, with a deep sweetness reaching my heart and lingering for a long time

His eyelashes trembled gently, yet the gaze of his bright eyes held onto me tightly. I could only see his lips move slightly: "Sister Wei, if I wear a mask, how can I kiss you?" His tone was gentle, not as if he were joking with me, and his warm expression was truly captivating

You may open your eyes now. The voice of Ze Jiu Ying is so close that I can even feel the gentle breath he exhales while speaking, he, he, he...! ... It seems he is very, very close to me!

"Yi Ming is not that kind of person." I wanted to explain, but I found that Ze Jiu Ying seemed unwilling to listen, so I had no choice but to give up. It appears that he has some misunderstandings about Yi Ming.

Where are you?" he continued to ask, his tone a bit anxious

Classmate, which class are you in? I would like to be friends with you

Who made him so handsome! Even with a mask on, his perfect physique can still captivate many girls, not to mention his utterly charming and gentle demeanor.

I curiously looked around him as if I had discovered a new continent, praising his skills without reservation

The nostalgic students riding the hot air balloon below us all raised their heads to look at the "Eagle" and excitedly discussed among themselves

Sister Wei... I and Ze Jiu Ying almost started at the same time. I felt as if we were both brewing some emotions. I looked at him, wanting to say something but hesitating, and he gazed back at me with gentle eyes

In fact

I had not yet reacted when he pressed the automatic flight button, and in the blink of an eye, he jumped off the "Eagle God" and disappeared into the vast white sea of clouds! It is so high; will it be safe to jump down like this? I staggered back, feeling dizzy, with worry and fear in my heart

My mind is experiencing a violent eruption akin to a volcanic explosion, and Ze Jiu Ying actually, actually... kissed me again

Hmm? I came back to my senses and looked at him with a hint of confusion. Why is he looking at me with that soft gaze that makes my heart race uncontrollably? I actually felt as if I was about to be melted into a soft, tender state.

My communicator vibrated in my pocket, and I quickly took it out. Ze Jiu Ying sent a reassuring message—"Wei Mei Mei, I have brought the mechanical wings, and I am now very safe"

"Today is Valentine's Day, and the academy has aerial activities, which is why the hot air balloon has been approved for launch." Ze Jiu Ying stood gracefully on the deck, looking like a beautiful sculpture, stunningly exquisite.

The sound of the wind arose, and the "Divine Eagle" flew towards the direction where the hot air balloons were gathered. Soon, I saw a dense cluster of hot air balloons beneath us, with the "Divine Eagle" flying much higher than the balloons.

Beep beep

Because the "Divine Eagle" suddenly flew diagonally downward, the distance from the pirate ship quickly widened, and the angle of inclination caused me to crash directly into the embrace of Huaying Ye!

He has a robotic physique, what if he gets shattered if he falls? ... Pfft ...! ... I must not speak of inauspicious things! Ze Jiu Ying will definitely be fine, will definitely be safe!

He he he ... ...

Are you saying that I can experience this test flight? Can I really? I excitedly reached out and tapped the beautiful railing with my finger, somewhat unable to believe my luck; what a delightful thing this is!

Of course, you have helped me so much, and you are very responsible in your daily work. If it were Huayingye, he would reward you as well. He chuckled softly, still gentle, but there seemed to be a meaningful glimmer in his eyes

I closed my mouth and held onto the railing, admiring the scenery below. The forests and rivers appeared very "condensed," and white clouds floated beneath my feet, as if I were half a step in the clouds. This feeling is truly wonderful

Below, the hot air balloon is slowly ascending, and as I watch the crowd drawing nearer, Ze Jiu Ying seems to feel no trace of tension. He lowers his eyelids and gazes softly at me

I gazed anxiously at the vast sea of clouds, fearing the worst, uncertain of what had become of Ze Jiu Ying

I quickly reached the top of the clock tower using the elevator system of the space shuttle, then pushed open the massive ornate iron door and stepped inside. A giant mechanical eagle made of metal appeared before me, and I excitedly ran over to it, curiously touching the eagle's large claws

Does Ze Jiu Ying want to play hide and seek with me? I stretched my neck to look down and saw the crowd surging in the woods below, the sounds of laughter gently echoing in the wind

Under the persuasion of the boys, the two opposing girls approached the hot air balloon. In Ze Jiu Ying's gentle, water-like eyes, there was a hint of helplessness; he seemed unwilling to witness this situation unfold. I involuntarily reached out my hand, my fingertips brushing against the elegantly contoured back.

"Where should I return it?" I curiously raised my head and found Ze Jiu Ying's deep brown eyes shimmering with a subtle light. He gazed at me gently and silently, his eyelashes fluttering slightly, as if he was reluctant to speak...

"Yiming is not handsome, but he is very cute, good brother, good brother, hurry up and answer the phone..." My slender ring "mobile phone" vibrated slightly at my fingertips, accompanied by a realistic ringtone. This sound was set during a boring night patrol with Yiming some time ago.

The handsome guy warned me to be careful, his voice is so pleasant and gentle! The girls held their hands in heart shapes, completely captivated by Ze Jiu Ying's enchanting voice.

So cute ~ ~ ! Handsome, what is your name? Is there an AA? If there is no AA, that's fine, just leave an R for me! The girls eagerly inquired one after another, while the hot air balloon swayed unsteadily in the air, as if it could fall at any moment, which was very dangerous

Could it be that I have really hit the nail on the head...

Very well! This is it; only by removing the cold-blooded creature from the shadow of the flowers at night will it be effective

What are you all talking about! Hey! What is that sound! An Mingwei, what happened to you?! Suddenly, a deafening noise came from the other end of the AA miniature receiver, and Yi Ming had not hung up yet, which meant he had heard everything that was just said. My goodness! I immediately fumbled to turn off the AA.

"Apart from An Mingwei, are there any other people here?" Huayingye interrupted Yiming, a mocking smile playing on his lips as he looked at us with indifference.

I gazed at Zhe Jiu Ying's profile, adorned with an exquisite mask, hesitating whether to speak. Is it a bit strange for a girl to confess to a boy? That was an old matter from four centuries ago. In our 25th century, it is usually the girl pursuing the boy; it would be considered strange for the boy to pursue the girl, sob!

I handed the letter that Yi Ming gave me to Ze Jiu Ying. He opened it and looked inside. I curiously leaned over to see, but was stopped by Ze Jiu Ying

With a thud, Huaying Ye jumped over from the pirate ship, standing steadily in front of me. His handsome face bore no extraneous expression, and his thin lips formed a cold arc.

What should I do? Am I supposed to open my eyes and see Ze Jiu Ying's handsome face so close to me? How should I face him so that I don't appear too embarrassed? Oh my... This situation is so awkward...

When you arrive, go to the back of the 'Divine Eagle'; it is very safe there, and I will be there shortly. Ze Jiu Ying's soft voice came through the communicator. My communicator is a high-tech product, equipped with the most advanced quality visuals and the fastest transmission capabilities. Even the audio is in true sound, making it indistinguishable from a face-to-face conversation.

"Rest assured, everything will be fine." Finally, Huayingye was willing to answer my question. This time, his response was very certain; he had clearly seen Zejiu Ying...

Oh. I responded softly, and then exclaimed "Ah!"

My confusion completely dissolved in his gentle kiss, does this count as his answer to me

"You have a lot of sweat on your forehead, wipe it off first." Ze Jiu Ying took a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat from my forehead. His movements were light, and his gaze was gentle

Oh! ... I ponder while stroking my chin, today is the day for girls to confess to boys, should I express my feelings to Ze Jiu Ying ... ? ...

He said he wants to kiss me Is he really going to kiss me My mind is in a turmoil If we were to kiss, wearing a mask would indeed be inconvenient

I apologize, I did not leave intentionally today. I waited for you at the 'Sakura Hall' all morning, but you never showed up, so... I wanted to explain, but I found that Huaying Ye seemed to have no feelings about this.

Actually, I want to say— I like you! I finally mustered the courage to confess, this is my first time confessing to a boy, regardless of whether he is a 'human' or a 'robot', I really like him, the one I like is Ze Jiu Ying

What do you want to say to the fairy? This is a rare opportunity, and there will be no next time if you miss it. Ze Jiu Ying smiled gently, standing on the deck, admiring the magnificent mask in his hand that shone brilliantly in the sunlight, his eyes reflecting a clarity as pure as lake water

The sound of wind brushed past my ears as the "Divine Eagle" ascended into the sky, flying steadily and uniformly in the air. The aircraft emitted no noise, as if it were being carried forward by a magician's flying carpet

I faintly heard Ze Jiu Ying let out a soft sigh, yet he did not stop my actions; instead, he elegantly leaned against the railing and turned to look at the cluster of hot air balloons below

I do not have that item. You all should listen to An Mingwei; she is a favored subordinate of Huayingye. Disobeying her is equivalent to disobeying Huayingye." Ze Jiu Ying's tone remained gentle as she kindly reminded the group of girls who were not paying attention to safety, and they immediately obediently retreated.

I tilted my head to look at him: "What’s wrong?" Why does he look at me with that expression, soft yet subtly tinged with a hint of helplessness? It makes me think... that he has something difficult to say.

The sound of the AA ringtone interrupted my thoughts and completely brought me back to reality

"You just saw him, didn't you?" I began to feel anxious. Hua Ying Ye had just said to Yi Ming that he saw nothing, yet he clearly saw Ze Jiu Ying, and he seemed to understand without any surprise or questioning me. Was he trying to conceal something?

Having finished, Yi Ming began to speak of fairies again; his obsession with fairies had not yet been diminished by the punishment from Hua Ying Ye.

I nervously closed my eyes and gripped the railing tightly. Along the way, I felt a pair of warm and slender hands resting on the back of my hand. My heart suddenly jolted, and an indescribable feeling seeped into my heart, causing my heartbeat to quicken unknowingly, as if something was slowly taking shape.

I have arrived, why haven't I seen you?

"Do not talk to him," I quietly reminded Zejiu Ying, "you will be discovered." I stepped forward to pull on his sleeve, wanting to retrieve the miniature earpiece. Zejiu Ying slowly turned to the side, gesturing for silence, while gently holding my hand.

I certainly want to see what you look like, but the premise is to ensure safety! Although we are currently at a high altitude, it is not one hundred percent safe, as there are many classmates nearby riding hot air balloons. Just as I was thinking this, a sudden burst of excited screams erupted. I was about to lean out to take a look when Ze Jiu Ying pulled me back. Just as I was preparing to speak, I saw Ze Jiu Ying making a "hush" gesture to me.

"I did not make an appointment with you today, you must be mistaken." The shadow of the flower circled around me, heading to control the "Divine Eagle". The light brown hair swayed in the wind, and the pure white uniform was very clean. When I first saw him just now, I almost thought I had seen a handsome prince on a white horse

You speak first. Once again, we opened our mouths in perfect harmony, and the words we spoke were completely identical. I stared at him with wide eyes, and the tenderness in his gaze remained undiminished, which strengthened my resolve to utter those words.

Why do I feel that his gaze seems very complicated? He did not speak, but I am a bit afraid

Heavens! What was I just thinking?

"You should hide for now," I quietly reminded Zejiu Ying, as things would get messy later.

"Be careful," both Ze Jiu Ying and I cautioned them simultaneously. Immediately, I heard his gentle laughter ripple through the wind, a soft melody that resonated deeply within the heart

"There is no one beside you now. If you don't open your eyes soon, I will kiss you." He half-jokingly, half-seriously "threatened" me.

I quietly gazed at his profile, surrounded by sunlight, his fair and delicate skin, flawless like porcelain, made it impossible for me to control my hands, yearning to touch it

Oh no! The sound below is getting louder, and someone has suggested raising the hot air balloon to take a look.
