Chapter 38: The Peaceful Nation (End)

The sun was setting, and the warm sea breeze brushed Shihe's face, lifting a few strands of brown long hair, dyeing it with a layer of golden brilliance under the sunset, which was intoxicating.

The elegant hair danced with the wind, as if it were teasing Li Boyong's heart, and a trace of numbness flooded into his brain.

Thinking seemed to have stopped, and Li Boyong instinctively held Shihe's hand.

Shihe widened her cute eyes, and the whole person was suddenly stunned.

This... this is...

What is this guy doing?

She pulled her hand out like an electric shock and looked around in a panic.

Athrun and the others were all focused on searching for traces of the Archangel and didn't notice this side.

"You..."

Shihe glared at Li Boyong fiercely, looking for a way to kill Li Boyong and destroy the body.

Li Boyong only then reacted and realized what he had done.

Hey, hey! What the hell am I doing?

Why did I go to hold her hand?

Teasing a girl?

Or an enemy pilot?

What kind of FLAG is this going to set for the next battle?

I feel very...

Seeing her expression that she couldn't help but want to kill someone, Li Boyong hurriedly shouted to the surroundings: "Hey, are you guys done? We're going to the next location!"

"Okay, we'll be there right away."

Athrun and the others heard Li Boyong's shout and ran back.

Shihe was helpless and forced herself to pretend that nothing had happened.

Athrun and the others looked at each other and shook their heads slightly. It seemed there was no discovery.

It was just that those who were focused on finding the Archangel didn't notice the subtle atmosphere between Li Boyong and Shihe.

"Is everyone here?"

Li Boyong saw Athrun and the others coming, and Shihe had to calm down, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

"Let's continue walking down."

Li Boyong led Athrun and his group to continue walking down, while Shihe fell to the end of the team. Grabbing the hand that had just been held tightly, she didn't know what was wrong with her?

Why... did she feel dizzy, and her heart beat so fast.

Walking to another base related to Morgenroete, Athrun and the others dispersed tacitly and continued to search for traces of the Archangel.

Unknowingly, only Shihe, who was still in a daze, and Li Boyong, who was responsible for leading the way, were left on the side of the road.

"Sorry, I didn't mean it just now."

Li Boyong felt it was necessary to explain, otherwise the next battle might be fought under Shihe's gun.

But as soon as Li Boyong approached, Shihe immediately stepped back and glared at Li Boyong vigilantly.

Li Boyong: "............"

He felt that his dignity and personality as a decent person were looked down upon by others.

No, I can't be looked down upon for nothing!

Seeing her vigilantly paying attention to Athrun and the others, as if she was very afraid of being seen by her teammates, Li Boyong suddenly had a psychological advantage.

"Don't hide."

He grabbed Shihe's hand and held it tightly.

Shihe took a sharp breath in surprise. Is this guy too bold?

She tried her best to shake his hand off, but bit her teeth tightly, not daring to make a sound.

It was this feeling again, her heart beat so fast, she was so afraid that her teammates would find out, she wanted to break free, but her body couldn't exert any strength.

Li Boyong smiled and made a mouth shape at Shihe: "Don't move, or I'll scream."

Scream...

Shouldn't I be the one screaming?

Shihe was so aggrieved that she almost cried, but she really didn't dare to struggle hard again.

Li Boyong saw her aggrieved expression for the first time and almost laughed out loud.

Just as he was about to say something, a mechanical bird flew out of the base next to it with the sound of "Tori, Tori".

The mechanical bird seemed to recognize its former creator and landed steadily on Athrun's hand.

Li Boyong: "???"

Here... is the base where we slipped out before?

What the hell is this feeling of world line convergence?

Can I meet Kira even if I just walk around with Athrun?

Li Boyong was surprised and loosened his strength, and Shihe hurriedly pulled her hand back.

The sudden mechanical bird also attracted the attention of Yzak and the others. They surrounded Athrun and looked at Tori.

And inside the base, Kira also ran towards this side.

Kira and Athrun, this pair of childhood friends, finally met face to face again.

Athrun walked towards Kira with a complex expression. Since he saw Kira here, he could be sure that the Archangel was still in Orb, so the two of them would inevitably continue to fight.

Kira also saw Athrun. His heart was filled with mixed feelings. After Athrun returned Tori to him across the wire fence, he couldn't help but say: "This is a very important thing, a precious gift from an important friend!"

"Is that so?"

Athrun tried his best not to show any abnormality and walked back to his companions slowly.

Seeing the two of them tangled, Li Boyong felt sorry for this pair of friends for three seconds.

Kira's vision followed Athrun's back and unexpectedly saw Li Boyong.

Why is the Second Lieutenant with Athrun?

Kira was so scared that his whole person became nervous.

Li Boyong saw Kira's surprised look and noticed that Shihe was almost at the edge of explosion, so he rationally said to Athrun and the others: "Sorry, sorry, suddenly remembered something, so I can't continue to lead the way for you."

Athrun had already obtained the information he wanted after seeing Kira, so naturally he had no intention of continuing to stay in Orb, so he nodded simply: "Thank you for your help, we are also going back to our residence."

Athrun left with his little partners, and Shihe followed. When passing by Li Boyong, she looked at him with a complex expression.

Looking at Shihe's back as she left, Li Boyong felt a sense of loss.

Hey, hey!

What are you expecting in your heart?

Showing less of your flashy operations can make you live a few more days!

Warning himself in his heart, Li Boyong adjusted his expression and walked towards Kira: "Yo, Kira, why are you here? Is the work done?"

Kira asked: "Hmm, Second Lieutenant, why are you here? Do you know those people just now?"

"Oh, you mean those just now?" Li Boyong pretended to know nothing and said casually: "When I went out to play, I met them getting lost, so I helped them lead the way."

"So that's how it is." Kira nodded slightly.

But meeting the infiltrating enemy while going out for a stroll, Second Lieutenant, you are really...

Fate sometimes really loves to tease people, just like me and Athrun.

At this time, Cagalli, who didn't know where she came from, ran over.

She felt furious when she saw Li Boyong: "Hey, I finally found you. Where did you go to play?"

Oops, caught by the young lady...

Li Boyong gave a bitter smile: "I'll go back to the base now."

Then he had a flash of inspiration and said to Kira: "Thank you, Kira. Thanks to your cover, I was able to play so happily."

Kira: "???"

When Cagalli heard this, she asked Kira again: "So you are in the same group as him. I trusted you so much."

"Didn't you say you didn't know when I asked you where that guy might go just now?" Cagalli was so angry: "Damn it, I treated everyone on the Archangel as companions, and you guys actually teamed up to lie to me?"

"No, Cagalli, listen to my explanation, I really don't know anything."

"At this point, what's the point of explaining?"

Listening to the conversation behind him, Li Boyong quickened his pace.

Run, run... ===== CHAPTER 39 =====
