After visiting the underwater tunnel safely, the two walked out of the tunnel exit one after the other. The sea breeze gently blew the woman's long black hair onto the boy's face.

His face was itchy, accompanied by the scent of violets.

Xi Nian still lowered her head slightly, looking a little absent-minded, and continued to walk forward like a child, being held by Diana's hand.

Diana seemed to know what Xi Nian was thinking, looked back at him, and said softly, "Still thinking about the episode just now?"

Xi Nian nodded, raised his eyes, and a ray of light flashed in his eyes: "Perhaps... my classmate didn't read it wrong."

after all. A shark with hands and feet, he has actually seen one!

Say it again.

Since the last time he left the island country where Staro was being held, he hadn't seen anything about the surviving members of Task Force X anywhere else, not even on TV or in newspapers.

What is their follow-up?

Whether they were re-incarcerated in the Dream Prison specially made for serious criminals, or sent to the Arkham Asylum in Gotham City for mental treatment, or took the opportunity to escape the control of the top US and lurked in a dark corner of the world.

Although those are the most vicious criminals in the world, these are the results of Xi Nian's triad, which makes him have to care.

"I have everything."

At the same time as Diana said, she lightly squeezed the palm of the boy's hand, and her slender and white fingers fell into a warm feeling.

She was stunned for a moment, but only then realized.

The two have basically never let go of their hands since they got in the car. It's just that from Xinian holding her hand, he took the initiative to hold his hand, as if he had become accustomed to intimate physical contact.

This is outside the home.

Although many parents also took their children, Diana's heart trembled slightly.

"Auntie..." Xi Nian was about to continue discussing with Diana, but outside the exit of the undersea tunnel, familiar figures, one big and one small, came forward.

"Hey, Miss Diana! Xiao Xi Nian!" Mary Jane walked over with Gwen while waving her arms enthusiastically.

"Miss Diana, good afternoon... I'm glad you can come and visit the museum together!"

Gwen looked a little restrained in the face of Diana. She was wearing a black uniform and a small foreign dress. She had the quiet temperament of a lady, and bowed in a proper greeting.

"Gwen, you don't usually do this..." Xi Nian muttered, and saw Gwen glared at him secretly, so he stopped talking.

"Miss Jane, long time no see."

"Gwen, you've grown up a lot, and you're looking more and more beautiful." Diana smiled, nodding to the mother and daughter one after another, responding with incomparable grace and politeness.

Gwen reached out to cover her slightly hot cheeks, her eyes were full of joy, as if she valued Diana's approval very much.

"I always thought I took good care of myself, but compared with you, I really feel like I'm not as good as a year." Mary Jane stepped forward to take Diana's hand and said with emotion.

"Where, you still look very young." Diana smiled slightly.

Mary Jane let out a long sigh: "You see, I have wrinkles on my face, but it doesn't look obvious with makeup. I don't look like you, my skin is bright and watery like a little girl in her twenties."

"Miss Diana, isn't she only in her twenties?"

Felicia, the assistant instructor passing by, stopped, she couldn't help but join the topic, and looked at Diana with a curious look: "It should be only two or three years older than me, right?"

"Miss Felicia, you don't know, Miss Diana at least..." Mary Jane stopped her words in time, covered her mouth with her hands, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I always hate it. Others talk about age, and now they almost get caught."

"it does not matter."

Diana shook her head gently, let go of Xi Nian's hand without leaving a trace, and gently patted the back of his hand and said, "You and Gwen go for a walk nearby, don't go too far."

"Is it alright?" Gwen's eyes brightened slightly, and he looked at Xi Nian next to him.

"Let's go, there are more topics with peers." Mary Jane seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to Xi Nian: "By the way, Xiao Xi Nian. Remember to come to my house on Sunday this week and eat together. dinner."

Sunday this week?

Xi Nian was stunned for a moment, and Gwen looked at each other. They just had an appointment for Saturday yesterday.

Gwen was also a little puzzled, and asked curiously, "Mom, why does it have to be Sunday?"

Mary Jane smiled and said, "Little fool, have you forgotten? This week's Sunday is your birthday, your seventeenth birthday! Or, you don't plan to let Xiao Xi Nian come over to attend your adult ceremony."

"God, I almost forgot!"

Gwen was stunned, slapped himself on the forehead suddenly, and realized that he was embarrassed, still in front of the Xinian family and the assistant instructor.

Seeing the corners of Xi Nian's mouth twitching, he almost snickered. Gwen blushed suddenly, reached out and dragged him and ran out.

"That... Auntie, I'll go out for a walk first." Xi Nian hurriedly turned around.

"Go, don't go too far."

Diana smiled and nodded, and continued to chat with Mary Jane and Felicia.

...

The reception hall on the second floor of the Museum of Oceanographic Research.

Gwen dragged Xi Nian to the handrail of the fence in the hall, and along the floor-to-ceiling windows, he could see the fishing boat pier and the vast blue ocean.

It was almost noon, and the sun was slanting westward, so that the sea was shimmering.

"Please, forget what happened just now!" Gwen bit her lip, her short hair swayed like a rattle, and let out an imperceptible cry: "God, I'm actually in front of your aunt..."

"Your sloppy appearance is actually quite cute." Xi Nian covered her mouth, patted her shoulder, and said sincerely, "Don't worry, my aunt won't lower your evaluation score because of this."

"Damn, just laugh if you want!"

Gwen angrily raised her small pink fist, only Xi Nian knew that this fist was no joke.

Gwen suddenly remembered something and said worriedly: "Oh, you've already made an appointment with Kara and said that she went to her cousin's side on Sunday as a guest."

Xi Nian pondered for a while: "I will explain it to her tomorrow."

Gwen shook his head and said firmly: "It's my fault, let me explain. If possible, see if she wants to change it to Saturday."

"It's all right."

Xi Nian agreed. In his opinion, Gwen is his own brother, and whoever explains it is the same.

"I didn't expect that you are almost seventeen years old."

Xi Nian looked at the beautiful girl in front of him. He didn't know his date of birth, so he never celebrated birthdays.

The more special thing was Christmas, when my aunt picked him up that night.

"My coming-of-age ceremony, you have to prepare the present well." Gwen squeezed his hands together on his back, and slightly pushed forward his well-developed chest, which was very close to Xinian's body.

She raised her short shiny golden hair from the bottom up, blinked her eyes as bright as gems at him, and said softly in a meaningful tone: "When the time comes, I will ask for it together with the previous compensation!"

"Of course!"

Xi Nian didn't think about it too much, and complied.
