Chapter 1392: Reluctant to Leave

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ordinary people couldn’t tell if a police officer’s card was real or fake. Even if the officer used a fake document right in front of their eyes, they probably couldn’t recognize it. Nevertheless, there weren’t that many people carrying fake police IDs, were there?

He didn’t know why. Perhaps it was his temperament and the way he carried himself. Zhang Zian thought that this police officer, who claimed his surname was Sheng, could be trusted.

The police officer picked up the phone and made a call. It seemed that he was contacting the police station and asking them to send a car, telling them that there was a lost girl.

After the phone call, Sheng, the police officer, said to Zhang Zian. “You should also find a place to dry off your body. You are all wet. Be careful that you don’t catch a cold...”

He stared at Zhang Zian and stopped talking. He seemed to want to say, “It is best to go to the hospital to get your eyes checked.”

After all, Zhang Zian was young and strong... Well, he was not that strong, but he was at least a young man, and he did not feel cold. His clothes, which had originally been wet with seawater, were being blown around by the wind. Adding to that his own body temperature, his clothes were basically halfway dry.

The other party was merely being kind, so he nodded.

He turned back and saw Zhuang Xiaodie standing a few meters away. She looked at the back of the girl in the wheelchair, but she had no intention to approach her. It may be because the tide was still rising. She may also be worried that the skirt of her costume would be stained by wet sand. That would be difficult to remove when washing.

As for the complicated look on her face...maybe it came from the competition between two beauties? Was she worried that her looks were less superior than the other party’s?

Zhuang Xiaodie was undoubtedly a great woman. If the physical appearance of the wheelchair girl was as stunning as her back, then her level of beauty would be almost the same as that of Zhuang Xiaodie. However, the dressing styles of the two girls were completely different. The former was complicated and gorgeous, while the latter was simple and pure. There was no comparison. Besides, the latter was rather inconvenient to move around. Zhuang Xiaodie’s sense of competition was completely redundant—at least, that was how Zhang Zian thought.

Zhang Zian had light conversations with the police officer. He saw a police car coming close to the road and stopped at the side of the road. Two female police officers got off the car. He was reassured when he finally saw them.

Police Officer Sheng greeted them and told them what had happened while pointing at the surrounding area.

“Police Officer Sheng, I am leaving now.” Zhang Zian waved the note at the police officer, meaning that he would call to ask about the follow-up actions to the situation.

He took a step, and his clothes suddenly became tight. When he looked down, he saw that the wheelchair girl was tugging on them.

“...What’s wrong? Is there anything else?”

He asked this, but he remembered that the wheelchair girl could not speak. Even when asked, she could not answer.

She used her other hand and pointed to the ground.

“Huh?”

He saw a few Chinese characters on the ground: “Thank you, Watermelon.”

It made sense. This was China. Was it not normal to see a message written in Chinese characters? But his mind flashed a thought in an instant: someone had actually written Chinese characters?

He was sure that there hadn’t been any words on the beach before, so these must have been written by her, but how had she managed to write these words on the beach?

She did not have the same long arms as Liu Huangshu, and her arms were of a reasonable length. It would have been impossible for her to write on the beach while sitting in a wheelchair, and he had not seen her bending over to write.

Then... There was only one possibility—that she had written the words with her toes.

This showed that although her legs are paralyzed, it was only temporary. At least she could write with her toes, so her condition was not as serious as he’d imagined.

He was sincerely happy for her and hoped that her inability to speak would also only last for a while.

But what the hell was Watermelon? Did she like to eat watermelon?

He smiled and said, “No need to thank me. Anyone who saw this situation would run over to help. The police are good people. You should cooperate with their work, and they will help you find your way home. Also...the pain is only temporary. You have to work hard to recover.”

The latter sentence was his speculation. After all, he was not sure about the real reason that she was in a wheelchair.

She listened quietly, but her hand still held onto his clothes.

Zhang Zian scratched his head. What could he do? He couldn’t stand here the whole time, and there was no need to go to the police station with her. Should he forcefully pry away her hand?

His gaze fell on the word “Watermelon,” and he got inspiration from it. He said, “I still have something to do now, but when I have time, I will call the police officer and go to the police station to see you... When I get there, I will bring you a big, sweet watermelon, how about that?”

After a moment, she gently nodded her head and let go of his hand.

She really liked to eat watermelon...

Zhang Zian do not know whether to laugh or cry. A girl so crazy in love with watermelon would be easy to satisfy.

“So then, goodbye. I will see you whenever I have time.” He waved, but he felt that she might soon find her family after she got to the police station, and they would take her home.

She also waved her hand.

Zhang Zian turned and walked a few steps toward Zhuang Xiaodie. He said, “Sorry, you have waited for a long time. I saw that you are troubled by something and decided to take you to the beach to distract you. I didn’t expect to encounter such a thing, and it interrupted our time together.”

“It’s nothing.” She still had an indescribable look on her face, and her mood was a bit sunken. “Let’s go. I have already felt enough sea breeze.”

Since he’d left her alone on the beach for so long, it was normal for her to be unhappy. Zhang Zian didn’t know how to comfort her, but if he were to choose again, he would still choose to save the wheelchair girl.

“Right...just now, did you see an assault boat on the sea? It is near that part of the sea.” He pointed to the sea as he spoke, trying to find a new topic. In addition, his mind was still fixated on it.

“No.” She shook her head.

He’d probably seen it wrongly... Might this be the legendary mirage?

“Then forget it. Anyway, recently, there have been quite a lot of strange happenings that can’t be explained. Adding this one is not a big deal.” He smiled helplessly.

Since she didn’t want to stay at the beach, he took her towards the sea wall and headed back in the direction of the city.

After walking for a while, he vaguely felt that there was something behind him. When he looked back, he saw that the wheelchair girl who had been facing the sea had been turned around by the police officer. He was looking at her, but he was far away. Her facial expression was already blurred and could not be seen clearly.

He waved to her again, and she waved back.

So close!

Famous swept through the area as invisible, inorganic matter. Countless spots of light were chasing after it behind its back.

“Sorry, I can only help you so much.”

It hurriedly glanced at the rising and falling tides of the sea.

After all, this was a world where there were no games or elfins. Appearing in this world in the form of fantasy creatures that existed in fairy tales might cause it to be violently rejected by the world itself. That would be beyond the scope of Famous, and it would have to improvise. It had chosen for her a human figure who looked very similar to her.

Fortunately, it had listened to her reading the fairy tale to her fans in the live broadcast room before. It hoped it would prove to be useful.

In this critical situation with many enemies chasing after it, it did not care to observe the results and hurriedly flew to the next place.
