Chapter 67
After taking a shower, Tracey rushed out of the bathroom. "Tracey, your hair was still wet!" Mrs. Xia shouted but could not stop her.
If other children encountered the same thing, they may had a huge psychological trauma. However, Tracey seemed to be afraid of nothing. "Mom, I'm going to brother's room." Tracey capered and ran to the next room.
"You..."
"Brother, open the door!" Tracey knocked on the door.
A few seconds later, someone opened the door. He was wearing a white T-shirt and a pair of jeans from the crew's son, with hair on the forehead.
He was much taller than Tracey. He looked down at the girl in a pink princess dress, with her long hair hanging over her shoulders, with water still was dripping down. "Little bunny, what's wrong?"
Tracey was anxious and scared when he was in the water, so he didn't see the young man's face clearly until this moment.
"Brother, you look so handsome!" Tracey blinked her eyes.
The boy was young, but he looked matured compared to peers. His black eyes were deep and cold.
As soon as he opened the door, Tracey quickly entered. He felt funny about this little girl, she just came without any invitation even without wearing shoes.
"Aren't you afraid?" Just survived from peril, the normal children would definitely stay with parents all the time and asked for their comfort.
However, she looked not scared at all. Instead, she quickly recovered. Her energetic footsteps made the teenager wonder if they were just coming back from a dream.
"Didn't you say that I will be alright as long as you were with me?" Tracey said innocently with her eyes blinking.
The young man felt a little speechless. In fact, at that time in the sea, he had to appease her so he said like that, otherwise, she would have been drowned.
There were many more dangers in the sea than he could imagine. How could he absolutely ensure her safety?
But Tracey fully believed his kind lie. He slowly squatted down and asked, "Bunny, tell me, why did you want to save us?"
He thought, at her age, this girl might not know too much about the reality, but she would risk her life as a threat to his father for the rescue.
But from Ben's standpoint, he may not have made a wrong decision. No one knew if the situation would go worse.
There were still many unknown dangers on the sea. It was not a good choice to stay too long under such circumstances.
"If I were the decision-making person on the ship, I'm afraid I would choose to do so." He thought.
Of course, from rational consideration, leaving was correct, but as a human being, it was inevitable to be subjected to moral judgment. But how such a little girl knew so much about this?! "All stories were written like that." Tracey smiled sweetly.
"What story?" The young man asked curiously.
"There are a lot of stories. For example, Snow White ate the poisonous apple, and a prince saved her; Prince Eric fell into the sea, and Ariel saved him..."
"In addition, the long-hair princess was saved by a prince when she was locked in the tower; Princess Belle removed the curse on Prince Adam..."
Seeing the little girl began to endlessly talk about the fairy tales she had read, the teenager was suddenly clear.
Although this girl had already been brainwashed by fairy tales, he had thanks to these stories for saving his life.
"Bunny, did you find anything?"
"Brother, why do you always call me bunny?"
"Because you looked like a bunny when you held me and cried in the water." The teenager said. She must be the most interesting little one he ever met.
Tracey turned around a bit angrily and pouted. "I'm not a rabbit. I have a name. It's Tracey!"
Seeing her angry look, the boy gently poked her cheek and said, "Fine, fine, then how about calling you little Tracey?"
"Okay!" Tracey smiled happily. Kids were quite easy to be amused. "Brother, did you ask if I have found something?"
"Yes, all fairy tales you told me were about prince and princess. Since you saved us, were you also looking for your prince?"
The young man looked at the little girl next to him. She was too young to really understand what he talked about.
"Of course not. Saving people is what I should do! Besides, how did I know if my prince was on the ship or not? But I believe that when I grow up, my prince will definitely come to me riding on his white horse someday."
All the little girl must had the same dream, imagining that she would become the princess in the fairy tales.
And she would meet his prince, who rode a horse walking toward her quietly on a sunny day.
"Little Tracey, have you read about Journey to the West?" The young man suddenly changed the topic.
"Of course, it's the most popular TV series of every summer vacation. I like Sun Wukong most. His as-you-will cudgel sometimes be big sometimes be small, and also can be put in his ears!"
In terms of divine drama, that was Tracey's favorite. Although she was fascinated with western fairy tales, she was also fond of eastern fantasy.
She had been very familiar with the stories such as Niu Lang and Zhi Nil and Lotus Lantern. When it came to Journey to the West, her eyes lit up.
"I thought your favorite person should be Tang Monk." The boy said.
"Why that monk? He lacks judgment and always misunderstands Sun Wukong." When he mentioned Tang Monk, Tracey got really angry.
Hearing her words, the boy smirked. "Because he has a white horse."
Tracey thought of his words for a while and suddenly understood what he meant. He did not directly tell Tracey that the man who was riding the white horse may not absolutely be his prince, but maybe Tang Monk instead.
"Brother, why are you so naughty?" Tracey poked his face.
"Do you regret saving me now?" The young man raised his eyebrows, but there was an evil smile on his face. "Maybe I am your prince."
Tracey looked at his teasing eyes. She was too young to get his point.
"You look like a prince in fairy tales. How about marry me when I grow up?"
"No problem, do I still need to ride a white horse at that time?" He was still joking.
"You are so bad, I'll leave you alone here." Tracey kicked him a little bit and ran out of the room. No one mentioned the joke again.
How could a naive little girl take his words seriously? However, the young man, who had experienced his first awakening of love, had never forgotten his promise.
From then on, the days on the sea had become less boring. Tracey played with him every day. When she was with him, he never thought of any annoying things.
It was closer to the day they should return and being apart. At this time, Tracey suddenly thought that she should know something.
"Brother, what's your name? Can I hang out with you in the future?" Tracey took his hand and asked.
She really liked this little brother, who sometimes cold, sometimes gentle, sometimes obedient, and sometimes naughty.
