In Hong Kong City, where the winter weather was unusually hot, lying on a beach chair and enjoying a brief summer was a good choice.
Golden Fox comfortably lay on the chair, wearing sunglasses, her tail swaying back and forth behind her, almost melting into a puddle of fox on the chair.
“This is so nice… so cool… and the sea breeze is very comfortable…”
Su Tianqing murmured to herself.
On second thought, she hadn't sprawled out and done nothing like this in a long time.
In recent months, whether it was school lessons or activities as Xin Yuehu, every single one had consumed a lot of her energy. Her only entertainment time was weekends and now, this trip…
No wonder she was so eager to have fun during the villain Magic Girl activities; with such long working hours, having fun was only natural.
Put yourself in her shoes! If you worked 16 hours a day, you'd be just like Ben Hu!
“And…”
Suddenly, Su Tianqing's gaze shifted to not far from her, looking at Li Kexin, who was wearing a girl’s swimsuit and gazing at the sea.
It was probably about ten minutes ago; she was setting up the rented beach chairs on the sand when she turned around and saw Jia Yu leading Nan Xiaofeng over.
“What a coincidence, you’re also here in Hong Kong City to play.”
Nan Jiayu said with much emotion.
Although Nan Xiaofeng was also surprised, she dared not even breathe loudly in front of her elder sister, so she could only give a helpless, bitter smile in agreement.
After all, she knew that Tianqing Jie was Magic Girl Dandelion, and she also knew that these two had been playing in Sui City for a few days, so it was reasonable for them to come to Hong Kong City to play after the Sui City airport was destroyed.
But thinking of Xin Yuehu's attack premonition, Nan Xiaofeng suddenly had an urge to persuade her elder sister and Tianqing Jie to return to Rong City together.
However, then she thought of Tianqing Jie's identity as Magic Girl Dandelion and her power that could break through Xin Yuehu’s Mindscape World, and Nan Xiaofeng couldn't bring herself to say it.
Letting Tianqing Jie stay here might be able to help in certain emergencies! Nan Xiaofeng, holding onto this trust, muttered to herself.
—Su Tianqing herself didn't know Nan Xiaofeng's thoughts, her mind filled with the desire for fun.
“Miss Kexin.”
Golden Fox called out softly.
Li Kexin was slightly startled, turned to look at Golden Fox lying on the beach chair beside her, and blinked her eyes,
“Hmm? Miss Tianqing, is there something?”
“I didn’t expect you, Kexin, to come to the beach to play. I thought you’d prefer to ride a yacht on the sea.”
“That’s what my dad likes. I’m not very interested in yachts.”
Li Kexin answered honestly, shrugging, and looking into the distance.
On the sea, a deep blue Cat Girl was enjoying wakeboarding, with Nan Xiaofeng sitting on the speedboat cheering for her elder sister, looking eager to try it herself.
Meanwhile, Hua Ling and Lin Muyao were with a few other companions, building a sandcastle.
Building sandcastles is definitely a classic beach activity!
“It feels very leisurely, something I haven’t had in a long time.”
Seeing her companions’ smiles, Li Kexin exhaled deeply, picked up a drink from beside her, took a sip, and said as if to herself,
“It’s hard for me to have such leisurely days, let alone like today.”
“Is it because of your family?”
Su Tianqing asked curiously.
The education this young lady received was definitely something she couldn’t easily imagine.
Li Kexin gently shook her head, but then seemed to recall something, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded gently.
“There should be a part of that.”
“But Nan Xiaofeng and I have already discussed it, and I understand my original intention as a Magic Girl. I plan to put my initial thoughts into practice during this trip to Hong Kong City.”
“Oh, that’s wonderful then.”
Su Tianqing smiled slightly, her sweet smile making Li Kexin momentarily lost in thought, but she still returned her own smile.
This is good enough. Su Tianqing thought.
The former Li Kexin had been confused about her own identity, lost in the Magic Girl world of Mai Sui, and it took her a lot of effort to pull her back to Hyacinth's side.
But Magic Girls are all good children, especially after the rule-bending treatment by Fox Fox the Divine Doctor, Magic Girl Mai Sui has completely understood why she became a Magic Girl.
“So, I called Ye Yuxia and the others to Hong Kong City to play, so I can understand them more deeply.”
“Yuxia…”
Hearing this somewhat unfamiliar name, Su Tianqing wagged her tail, her fox ears perked up, and she gave Li Kexin a silent question.
“She is my companion, Luoluo.”
Ah, I remember now, Ben Hu saw this name when she unboxed on the secret codex. Su Tianqing thought, but on the surface, she pretended to suddenly understand.
“I see, traveling with companions can indeed deepen relationships. Then why don’t you go play with them?”
“Hmm…”
Li Kexin glanced at the increasingly tall sandcastle in front of them, her expression a bit awkward.
“That… I, I can’t swim…”
“Oh, what a coincidence, neither can I,” Su Tianqing replied with a light chuckle.
…
Everyone sat under the beach umbrella, applying sunscreen and drinking beverages, while discussing what to do next.
“I want beach barbecue!” Nan Xiaofeng was the first to raise her hand.
“That’ll have to wait until evening, Nan Xiaofeng, think of something normal.” Then she was glared back by Nan Jiayu’s eyes.
“Hmm, well then…”
Everyone was hesitant for a moment.
Leaving aside others, Hua Ling and Lin Muyao were completely inlanders from Rong City, and Su Tianqing was no exception. The four people on Li Kexin’s side also hardly went to the beach. Out of eight people, not one could suggest beach activities.
So, everyone’s gaze fell on Nan Jiayu, who was very experienced with beaches.
“…Why are you looking at me?”
The Cat Girl was wearing a sleek racing swimsuit, her hair tied in a bun, and her cat tail was tensed and held high.
“Jia Yu Jie! How did you play on the beach when you were in Shanghai?” Nan Xiaofeng asked first.
“Well…”
The topic suddenly fell to her, and Nan Jiayu hesitated slightly, thinking for a moment.
“First, building sandcastles, and then collecting seashells and swimming in the sea.”
“We’ve already played those.”
Everyone looked at the magnificent sandcastle not far away, over two meters high, attracting countless tourists to stop and take photos.
“Are there any activities, like, activities that many of us can play together?” Nan Xiaofeng continued to ask.
The Cat Girl pinched her chin and thought for a long time, only able to squeeze out a few meager options.
“Kayaking, boat tours out to sea, speedboat wakeboarding, and… ”
“…Beach volleyball.”
“Beach volleyball!”
Nan Xiaofeng raised both hands, saying excitedly,
“I know this, this must be super fun!”
“Nan Xiaofeng, calm down. How many of us here can play volleyball?”
“I can! Jia Yu Jie can too! And, and…”
“Volleyball, I know a little too.”
Ye Yuxia, who had been silent, spoke up, and Li Kexin also raised her hand with an expectant look, indicating that she had also taken a semester of volleyball lessons.
“Very good! Then Ben Hu will be the referee!”
Su Tianqing cheerfully wagged her tail and said to everyone,
“Nan Xiaofeng and Jia Yu are one team, Kexin and Yuxia are one team!”
“… … Tianqing Jie, are you serious?”
Hearing this absurd grouping, Hua Ling and Lin Muyao were speechless.
But both sides seemed to not notice any problem, and enthusiastically moved towards the volleyball court.
Looking at Li Kexin and the other, who were completely unaware of the terrifying physical strength of the Nan sisters, Hua Ling silently prayed for the two.
Hope they don't play too hard, Nan Xiaofeng, and Jia Yu Jie.
