The afternoon sun burned the beach, and it felt a little hot to sit on it.

"Why did he leave?"

Mari Goto asked subconsciously.

"Why can't he leave?"

Gu Qingqiu replied pretending to be confused.

"No, I mean, he..."

Mari Goto couldn't speak any more.

Yes,

Who said you can't leave after you save someone?

People don't take credit, don't ask for reward, and don't even need to say thank you. In the words of Kyushu people, what do you call it?

When the matter is over, brush off your clothes and hide your merit and fame?

What a good man!

Thinking of this, Goto Mari felt even more uncomfortable. She owed such a huge favor and if she couldn't pay it back, she would feel uncomfortable for the rest of her life.

"He is a tourist. He has been playing around in the past few days. You might even meet him!"

Gu Qingqiu secretly observed the expression of this Sakura girl and found that there was some regret and embarrassment on her face.

This convinced Gu Qingqiu that she was a good girl who was grateful and reciprocated.

His plan was indeed right, let Lin Baici leave, and the next time they meet by chance, he can gain more favorability points.

"I'm a little hungry."

Xia Hongyao touched her belly and interrupted at the right time: "How far is it from the nearest town?"

"Is there anything good to eat in town?"

Let’s go to town first.

"It takes about an hour to ride a bicycle."

Goto Mari turned her head and looked at the beach.

She is a responsible girl. As a beach lifeguard, she wants to stay on the beach until sunset even if it is her last day. But now, she wants to repay the other person for saving her life.

In Goto Mari's view, Gu Qingqiu woke up earlier than she did. People and friends had been taking care of her who was in a coma. She should treat them to a meal and express her gratitude.

"You just keep walking along this road and you'll be there!"

Goto Mari checked her phone: "At 6pm, do you have time?"

"I want to treat you to dinner!"

Xia Hongyao waved her hand quickly: "You're welcome, it's our turn to invite you!"

"Please appreciate it!"

Gu Qingqiu's respectful attitude made Goto Mari so humble that her face turned red with embarrassment.

After all, no one could be saved, and he himself drowned.

Gu Qingqiu and Goto Mari chatted for a while, agreed on a dinner time, and left.

There is nothing interesting to see or do on the beach. Staying here all the time will easily arouse the suspicion of Sakura Girl.

After riding his bicycle and running for ten minutes, Xia Hongyao finally couldn't help it and burst into laughter.

"It's done!"

Gao Ponytail is very happy, Xiao Linzi and Xiao Loach, his two trump cards are enough to solve all problems.

"Actually, there's no need to go to such trouble. With the looks and figure of the alumni, it's really a killing!"

Gu Qingqiu joked: "I don't believe that Sakura girl can withstand it!"

Gu Qingqiu was looking forward to this "Love Theater" and treated it like a drama.

The two rode for a while, and when they arrived at the sunflower field, they saw Lin Baici parked his motorcycle on the side of the road. He had an easel in front of him, and he was writing and drawing on it with an oil paintbrush.

Just as Xia Hongyao was about to pass, he was grabbed by Gu Qingqiu.

"What's wrong?"

The high ponytail is puzzled.

"Watch it for a while!"

Gu Qingqiu liked this scene very much.

Lin Baici was standing on the roadside sketching in a large field of golden flowers. The background was a clear blue sky with a few white clouds floating by occasionally.

The whole world is so clean that it seems that even the silt sinking in my heart has been cleared away.

call!

Gu Qingqiu couldn't help but take a deep breath and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Lin Baici's observation skills were quite keen and he quickly spotted Gu Qingqiu and the others: "How are they?"

"all the best!"

Xia Hongyao made an OK gesture, rode over, then stopped, with his left foot on the road without getting off.

"Why did you suddenly become artistic?"

Xia Hongyao glanced at the oil painting and then at the flower field: "Could this field of sunflowers be related to pollution?"

"No, I'm just painting in case I need it!"

Lin Baici had to wait for Xia Hongyao and the others, and was bored, so he wanted to learn how to conquer the cherry blossom girl, and painting was one of the steps.

"oh!"

Xia Hongyao appreciates oil paintings.

On the drawing paper are large fields of sunflowers. The colors are very gorgeous. One look at it makes people feel better inexplicably. Then in the flower field, there is a path, and a girl is riding a bicycle!

Looming and appearing!

That youthful and joyful aura rushed to my face.

"The painting is quite good!"

Xia Hongyao likes it very much.

Gu Qingqiu told him everything that happened after Lin Baici left, as well as her character profile of Goto Mari.

In order to be realistic, the two parties did not ride together, but separated, entering the town more than ten minutes apart.

The town is not big and there are not many people there. They all looked at the two foreign tourists Xia Hongyao curiously.

After waiting for the time agreed upon with Goto Mari, Xia Hongyao and Gu Qingqiu went to a restaurant called ‘Shan no Taste’.

Mari Goto kept her promise and arrived early. When she saw Xia Hongyao and the others, she waved immediately.

"There is nothing interesting in the small town, only in the mountains!"

Mari Goto said this while inviting the two of them into the restaurant.

The restaurant is not big, but it is very popular. It has just arrived at dinner time and there are already many diners sitting there.

The boss is a middle-aged uncle, with his head wrapped in a blue cloth, and he is busy.

Tempura, fried pork cutlet, ramen soup...

Various fragrances are mixed together and rush over together with the cold air from the air conditioner, whetting your appetite.

“It smells so good!”

Xia Hongyao couldn't help but sniff.

Mari Goto found a seat and arranged for Xia Hongyao and the others to sit down. While chatting with the boss, he went to the front desk to get two menus and handed them to them.

"Uncle Fujii's ramen is super delicious, and the soup is made from wild boar in the mountains!"

While introducing, Goto Mari went to get three bottles of drinks from the ice bucket with ice cubes.

“Then eat ramen!”

Gu Qingqiu twirled the menu with his fingers and scanned the dishes.

In this kind of restaurant, the chef cooks in front of the guests, so the menus are written on several wooden boards and hung above the kitchen counter.

"I also want a piece of ramen, plus a piece of tempura, dumplings, and a few side dishes, too!"

Summer red medicine order.

…

Goto Mari was a very simple female high school student. After eating a meal, Gu Qingqiu didn't use any words and just chatted casually, making her situation very confusing.

Her family is in the mountains, so she came to the town to live with her aunt because she had to go to school.
