Chapter 07: The Art of Magic, The Sky Castle

Ugh... how infuriating. Although I have already entered the hospital room, I do not know why, upon seeing Shengye sitting there, I suddenly feel nervous. My tongue, which usually moves faster than a fan, feels as if it has lost power, completely failing me. I cannot utter a single word and can only stand dumbly beside the hospital bed, watching Shengye attempt to move his injured ankle again and again. His face grows redder and redder, and by the end, this hero's face is almost purple with embarrassment.

What kind of person is this? How shameless to hide outside the window and eavesdrop on others' conversations

Zheng Zhizhao forcefully dragged Sheng Ye to the edge of the dance floor, loudly declaring: "This time, we will achieve a great victory in the competition! Today, we invite the chief and deputy chief of the sports meeting to dance a piece together, to celebrate our two victories. What does everyone think?"

Thank you

"What... what happened?" I looked at Saint Yi, who was staring wide-eyed, in confusion, then lowered my head and looked in the direction where his gaze was focused.

Silence ... ... Silence ... ...

I slip, slip, slip, slip - I hide

I was taken aback, suddenly coming to my senses, staring at the enlarged eyes and eyelashes of Saint Yi, my heart abruptly leaping to my throat

Shasha shasha shasha

Strange? Could this be a compliment to me, or does it imply that I am special

However, the other classmates are already dancing gracefully around us, while we stand like two wooden sticks in the dance floor

More importantly, because I didn't know what to do, I wanted to ask "Lightbulb Head," but unexpectedly, his answer left me even more confused. At this moment, the scene from that day resurfaced before my eyes

Every time I see you, you are always causing trouble in a crazy manner, and many of your thoughts and behaviors are quite different from those of normal people. I think, in my lifetime, I will probably never encounter someone as strange as you again

Oh? That... doesn't really require a response, does it? Hehehe... I mentioned that this school badge is worth at least one yuan, and I, the great hero, intend to keep it as a reserve resource, so I certainly won't give it to anyone else

Eh—no, it can't be... Sheng... Sheng Yi! Is it already Sheng Yi's turn? This... this hero was still planning to escape... Damn! Is it too late?!

Boom—Christmas Eve has always been here, but why does he want to stay in the corner?

Yes, indeed, we will leave now, you all continue, haha!

How infuriating! If it were any other time, I would have been so enraged that I would have jumped up and cursed at Holy Night. But today, why do I only feel regret and coldness in my heart? If I must say I am angry, it seems that I am more upset with myself than with Holy Night.

Is it not possible... The sound of Christmas Eve seems to carry a hint of disappointment

"Cut it out, what are you being so profound for!" I scoffed dismissively, glancing over at the frustrated Zheng Zhizhao, "'Lightbulb head', I didn't understand half of what you said!"

Since it is like this ... ... Saint Yi finally turned around, raised his head to face me, but the determined and stubborn gaze of Saint Yi was something I had never seen before. The sense of oppression he exuded even made me feel a bit scared, wanting to flee

... ... Xiaoxi, how did you manage to catch up?

Puff!

"Idiot pig, is the orange in your hand for me?" I never expected that the one to break the silence would be Holy Night. He turned his head and glanced at me, who was at a loss, and his gaze briefly landed on the orange I was holding.

Huh? ... This sound ... ! ... It's Saint Yi. ! My body trembled slightly, and I suddenly turned my head.

However, what I truly want to express is my heartfelt gratitude for your care towards Saint Yi..." Saint Ye paused for a moment, his gaze flickering slightly, and finally uttered a few words. After speaking, he turned his head away and no longer looked at me

Silence ... ... Silence ... ...

Ah? What? "Snap!" I suddenly opened my eyes, only to see the noble brow of the Holy Night deeply furrowed, with bright eyes fixed intently on me

Bang! Bang! Bang!... It is well known that Song Yoon-ah did not attend the ball due to some matters, so that means... that means... the deputy commander is referring to me?! I widened my eyes in disbelief as I stared at Zheng Zhizhao, conveying a "deadly" glare: Baldy, what on earth are you doing?!

Noticing the rescue signal from this hero, "Squid" was taken aback and gently nudged the still wooden-like Xiaoqiang with his arm, the two exchanged a secret glance.

This hero has been thoroughly provoked by the great demon before him, and the flames of anger surged from his heels to the top of his head, illuminating the entire infirmary in a bright red glow

I was taken aback for a moment, and then I remembered that this Saturday is the anniversary celebration of our Maple Forest High School. I have never been interested in soft and delicate dances, but upon hearing Sheng Ye's words, I felt an inexplicable excitement, as if my inner universe was expanding infinitely, and my voice became gentler than anyone else's. "Why would I give it to someone else? This school badge, I was planning to keep it for when my pocket money runs low, to sell it for one yuan to someone else, and then buy beef skewers to eat. This is my emergency food supply!"

Ahahaha—Holy Night, I heard that you injured your foot, so I came to see you. However, when I reached the door, I was afraid of disturbing your rest, so I decided to go back instead, hehehe—

"Hmph, it's easy for you to say!" I rolled my eyes in defiance, resembling the scholar Zheng Zhizhao, resting my head on my arm, gazing blankly at the white clouds slowly drifting across the small patch of blue sky visible from the window. "Those two guys... I don't want to hurt anyone... Moreover, in situations like this, it's really hard to make a choice, isn't it..."

"Yilinxi, this is different from skipping class..." Huh? What happened to 'light bulb head'? His voice suddenly became deep. I stopped my hands that were 'plowing the field' above my head and curiously looked at Zheng Zhizhao's occiput, noticing that a sense of melancholy seemed to be enveloping him.

"Who have I let down?" I said, confused, pouting my lips.

The clear eyes of Saint Yi gazed at me, yet I felt as if someone had seen through a small secret of mine, causing my heart to tremble slightly

How foolish! During the 10-minute break, the girls will exchange their school badges with the boys they like. In simple terms—"Zheng Zhizhao secretly glanced at me, it is the time for girls to confess to boys."

I had completely forgotten that just a few minutes ago, I was hiding at the door, secretly watching myself on Christmas Eve. I angrily shouted and rushed towards the window, sticking my head out.

Come one! Come one!

What should I do ... ... what on earth should I do?

Alas, if I don't speak, I will leave!" I pouted in anger and turned my head, ready to walk out the door

Dear students, the next traditional program for the Fenglin school anniversary is the group dance! Please have the boys and girls form two concentric circles, with the boys on the outside and the girls on the inside

Someone has fallen over there, it seems to be the first place runner, the president of the Holy Night!

Xiao Xi

On Christmas Eve, Sheng Ye lifted her injured foot, wrapped her arms around herself, leaned against the door frame of the infirmary, turned her face to the side, and looked at me with a disdainful expression

Ugh... wait, I have to dance with everyone once... so, does that mean... I will dance with Holy Night and Holy Yi in turn? But... I still haven't figured out what to do about the school emblem. Oh no! What should I do? Since the school anniversary dance, I have been carefully avoiding them, planning to think it through before talking to them, but now... Ahhh, how could I not have thought of this earlier? Since the school anniversary dance, I have been carefully avoiding them, planning to think it through before talking to them, but now... Ahhh, how could I not have thought of this earlier?

"Idiot pig, what are you doing here?"

Yilinxi

"Brother... is still maintaining order inside, he let me go first..." Sheng Yi's expression suddenly changed, her lips involuntarily pressed together, yet her gaze was fixed on my hand with a glimmer.

Of course! I, Yilinxi, am a chivalrous hero who values loyalty. Regardless of the circumstances, we are now in the same boat, so it is only natural to offer some comfort and reassurance, hehe!

Although the "bulb head" is so righteous, it seems that he cannot be of any help in this matter. A tremendous yawn surged from my throat, which is really annoying. This group dance even requires that I dance a round with each person; I really want to run away right now

Xiao Xi, why do you need to explain so much to me

My mother once told me that no matter how skilled a person is at lying, their eyes will always be honest. Darn it, I absolutely cannot let Saint Night discover that this hero keeps making mistakes because of nervousness. This concerns my dignity; even if I were to lose my tongue for lying to the King of Hell, I must not let him know!

"It doesn't hurt." Saint Night replied decisively

Boom! This thought felt like a heavy stone suddenly thrown into the center of a lake, and I couldn't help but pause—what is happening? ... It seems like I am ... ... waiting for something? ... ... ! Yet it also feels like I am disappointed? ? ! Just a moment ago, I wanted to find a hole to hide in when faced with Saint Yi's invitation to dance, but now? ! Wow—my already chaotic mind is even more confused, and I am almost on the verge of fainting!

Seeing him sitting on the hospital bed, trying to move his injured foot on Christmas Eve, I suddenly felt my heart skip a beat for some reason, and I found myself feeling pain as well

Puff!

He didn't ask me anything just now, probably because he sensed my difficulty... Saint Yi is really very considerate... Perhaps because of this, I feel even more reluctant to hurt him, and I don't know if I should reject him... Ugh... My head hurts, it hurts so much! Even when I was preparing for the joint exam for the entire province a while ago, my head never hurt like this!

"Xiao Xi, just now... did your brother ask you not to give the school badge to others at the school anniversary dance? Did you promise him?"

It seems that the bandage on his foot is wrapped very thickly, is the injury quite serious? Looking at the expression on his face, which was tightly furrowed just now, my own foot seems to be starting to hurt as well

After the group dance, it was time for the highly anticipated badge exchange ceremony among all the girls. As Sheng Yi appeared at the entrance of the hall, she was immediately surrounded by a throng of girls. ... Seeing this, Sheng Ye hurriedly rushed over, spreading her arms wide to fend off the countless hands reaching out frantically, and continuously used her body to shield Sheng Ye, who was being pulled in all directions by those girls

... ...

School emblem ... ? ... What should I do? ? ! ! At this moment, who can come and tell me what to do? ... ! Holy Night. ... ... ... Saint Yi ... ! ... Alas, Yilinxi, this time you have personally pushed yourself into hell!

Oh ... ...

If you are going to jump, then jump properly! Although his tone remained harsh, he slightly leaned down and gently held my hand. I felt a warm force flowing through my palm, guiding my body and steps forward, backward, and spinning. All the light and shadow danced around us, and everyone else became blurred.

Oh? ...! The figure that just disappeared around the corner... ... ... seems to be... ... is... ...

I haven't seen you anywhere. I think you must have come here to watch your brother's running competition

My eyes darted around restlessly, and finally I made up my mind. I turned around, tiptoed, and bent down, curling my arms like a weasel about to steal a chicken...! ... I sneak, I sneak, I sneak sneak sneak

"Idiot pig, you are truly a very strange girl!" Suddenly, Holy Night gently began to speak.

The idiot pig ... ... '' On Christmas Eve, he gracefully bent down, placing his hand on his chest like a prince and bowed to me. I was taken aback and hurriedly fumbled with my skirt, resembling a frog performing ballet, bending my knees and awkwardly executing a hideous curtsy.

I pointed at him, infuriated and jumping up and down

I held the orange that Xiao Qiang gave me, crouching like a warrior in a CS game, sneaking stealthily down the corridor on the first floor of the Academic Building at Fenglin High School that leads to the infirmary, taking three steps and then hiding. There was no one in front, and no one behind. Good, this time I must slip to the infirmary door in one go

Damn! ... Why is his mouth bulging, as if he is desperately trying to suppress something, but seeing his shoulders heaving...

What, how could this happen

A crisp sound interrupted the words of the holy night

Hehe... No, boss... "Xiao Qiang winked at me and said, 'When visiting a patient, you should bring a gift!'"

Oh? Confession, confession, confession... confession?!

Ding ding dong dong ... ... ding ding dong dong ... ...

I looked at the Holy Night in confusion, my heart racing with tension and excitement, but the words that followed from the Holy Night felt like a bucket of ice water pouring down from the sky, instantly bringing my body temperature to freezing point

Let's slip away, perhaps it's still not too late to make our escape now

Wuwuwu! ... Why does time always pass so quickly? The school anniversary dance that I was originally looking forward to because of a sentence from the Holy Night, has now left me feeling troubled and unwilling to face it due to a sentence from Saint Yi and that ... kiss.

On the holy night, she raised her head to look at me, her gaze so clear, like that of a child with no capacity for resistance

I raised my head and cautiously glanced at Sheng Ye, only to see that he also appeared somewhat at a loss, his lips tightly pressed together, merely lifting his head to search for someone's figure in the crowd... It seemed he had not found anyone, as he lowered his head gloomily to look at me, his eyes reflecting a complex emotion that I could not discern...

Yes, of course! My face was flushed, and I was breathing heavily through my nostrils with great vigor. I stumbled forward as if in a dream, approaching the Holy Night, swallowed hard, and my heart felt like it was going mad, pounding wildly in my chest.

Change, perversion? ! Hearing the summary and evaluation of my actions just now on this holy night, I feel as if something within me is collapsing, almost on the verge of complete breakdown

Is it my illusion? I actually feel that the Holy Night before me, that Holy Night which is disdainful of everything and considers itself supreme, that Holy Night which remains unperturbed even if the sky were to fall, with no trace of the word "fear" in its heart... at this moment, its eyes appear so bewildered, and within its slightly swaying gaze, there seems to flicker a few glimmers of insecurity and unease... at this moment, its eyes appear so bewildered, and within its slightly swaying gaze, there seems to flicker a few glimmers of insecurity and unease...

Something has gone wrong, something has gone wrong

Oh no... it's over... I've been discovered after all...

What does this mean

On Christmas Eve, Sheng Ye slightly parted her lips, staring directly at me, yet she said nothing

rumbling

Yes, indeed! I pouted, my eyes flickering, seemingly lacking a bit of courage as I waited for him, "Otherwise, what kind of attitude do you want?"

Xiao Qiang, do you wish to die? How dare you throw an orange at this hero!

Oh, it's the "Wanzi Group", we are saved!

Um... you are right. Since I came in, it seems I haven't asked a single question about your injuries. So... does your foot hurt?

I was trembling all over, mechanically raising my hand slowly like a crane. My palm, heated from nervousness, gently rested on the cold cheek of Shengye. The moment my palm touched Shengye's cheek, his body shivered slightly, but I could no longer stop myself. ... I steeled my heart, tightly closed my eyes, and slowly lowered my head ... ... little by little. ... ... ... little by little ... . ... Finally, my forehead gently rested on Shengye's soft hair. I steeled my heart, tightly closed my eyes, and slowly lowered my head ... ... little by little. ... ... ... little by little ... . ... Finally, my forehead gently rested on Shengye's soft hair.

Xiao Xi, you... The Holy Night gazed deeply at me... Opened her mouth as if she had something to say, yet ultimately said nothing.

Exchanging school badges is a form of commitment and agreement... Yilinxi, I do not wish to know to whom you intend to give your school badge; I only want to tell you that for those who like you, whether you accept or reject them, you must always hold a sincere heart. Because of this, the other party can also feel your sincerity, and regardless of whether the outcome is sorrowful or joyful for them, they will feel grateful. However, if from the very beginning, you only think about evading and do not consider the feelings of others... Because of this, the other party can also feel your sincerity, and regardless of whether the outcome is sorrowful or joyful for them, they will feel grateful. However, if from the very beginning, you only think about evading and do not consider the feelings of others... Such people who disappoint others' feelings are the worst.

"Stinky rock! Who are you calling a pervert?! I, the great hero, came to see you with good intentions, yet you still insult me. Do you even have a conscience?!"

Ahahaha, little... little Saint, that... hehehe... The classmates around us have already started to salute each other, and Saint Yi stands opposite me, gazing deeply at me, who is at a loss, like a shining prince

Uh... the worst-case scenario has occurred... it turns out that Saint Yi was already by the window, and actually witnessed the entirety of this hero's embarrassing moment from beginning to end

I ... . ... I, the great hero Yi, may never feel as nervous in this lifetime as I do now

Ding ding dong dong—ding ding dong dong

"Ah, our Saint Night President, why are you hiding alone in the corner? This is not like you!" At that moment, the loud voice of 'Lightbulb Head' suddenly erupted in the air, drawing everyone's attention to the farthest corner from the dance floor. I looked in disbelief at Zheng Zhizhao, who was tightly gripping Saint Night's arm, as if afraid he would escape, while Saint Night appeared unexpectedly embarrassed.

Oh, how annoying! Those deep eyes that seem capable of drawing away my very soul. Am I about to meet my end? How can I find his roar so captivating? I instinctively turned my head away to avoid the gaze of the holy night

Saint Yi slightly lowered her head, holding one can of cola in one hand, while the other hand hung down at her side.

Saint Yi! Saint Yi, classmate! The school badge! Let's exchange badges! I beg you!

What Sheng Ye just said, could it be... could it not be... no, no, how is that possible? Yi Linxi, have you lost your mind? Look at what nonsense you are thinking! Idiot, idiot! You are the biggest idiot in the world!

Saint Yi paused for a moment and replied in a tone that was difficult to discern, "I do not know"

"No, nothing..." I replied listlessly

Hearing Saint Yi call me, my body stiffened mechanically, cold sweat poured down from my forehead like rain, and the smile on my face was as grotesque as a zombie twitching at the corners of its mouth

Ping pong clang!

Little Hope

Zheng Zhizhao mischievously winked at me and said, "You fool, happiness must be fought for!" Then he gave a knowing glance to the "Maruko Group." How bold of them! They simply pushed the holy night right in front of me

"Xiao Xi... would you be willing to exchange school badges with me?" Sheng Yi's voice floated gently from his attractive pink lips, and in an instant, I felt my head sink heavily.

A gentle breeze brushed past my ear, and the bangs in front of Saint Yves lightly touched my eyelashes

Who

Hearing my voice already at the back of his head, Saint Yi stopped, yet did not turn around to look at me; her silhouette appeared so desolate.

Little Hope

Oh no, if Saint Yi saw that scene just now, he must have misunderstood something! ... Although I don't even know what I'm worried about regarding what Saint Yi might have misunderstood, it doesn't really matter if he did misunderstand, but ... ... I still feel uneasy. ... ... In any case, I should catch up with him first!

Damn stone! You rascal... It is precisely because of your foul temper that I, the great hero, am filled with regret and wasting my time coming here to see you! I initially thought to offer you some comfort given the challenges we face, but seeing you like this, you clearly do not need any consolation, hm!

abnormal

"Xiao Sheng, was it you who just threw the cola into the infirmary?"

SOS ! ! SOS ! !

"You big fool!" Zheng Zhizhao said with a stern face, glaring at me fiercely. "Yi Linxi, I remind you, both Sheng Ye and Sheng Yi are serious. No matter what, you must give them a proper response. You have already let one person down; do not make others sad again..."

Tinnitus! I must be experiencing tinnitus! ... Holy Night. ... ... He would never say such a thing!

Fool, you should at least ask if the wound hurts or something like that

Are you... not satisfied with me?! Suddenly, a deep and somewhat menacing voice pierced my ears

Wow, that's great, it's time to jump and dance together!

Little Saint? Where is Saint Night? I looked at Saint Yi with curiosity and glanced around, but I did not see Saint Night.

sneakily ... ... sneakily ... ...

Ugh—who, who said I was going to see the Christmas Eve? I, I just need to go to the restroom... I won't talk to you anymore, I'm leaving

On Christmas Eve, I glanced at the orange in my hand that had fallen victim to foul play

I have imagined countless possibilities of what Shengye might say, yet I never expected that Shengye would ask me like this

Boss... Boss, please don't be so agitated! That person said the brakes were broken... It has nothing to do with Xiao Zhao.

Wait! The Holy Night called out to me for the second time

The music for the next dance piece resonated above the hall, and the students began to search for their new partners... How strange, I haven't seen Shengye at all... Since I entered the venue just now, I haven't caught a glimpse of him... Is his injury still not healed? I can't help but feel a bit worried, leaning forward to search for Shengye's figure among the crowd... If he doesn't attend the ball... wouldn't that be such a pity? I can't help but feel a bit worried, leaning forward to search for Shengye's figure among the crowd... If he doesn't attend the ball... wouldn't that be such a pity?

The excited discussions among the students made the newly decorated auditorium of Maple Forest High School appear even more lively. ... I never expected that there would be such a small episode during the sports meeting; the upcoming school anniversary dance could have allowed the students to temporarily relax, but unfortunately, I...

Speaking of which... I haven't seen my brother smile for a long time...

La la la la la! Is it really that difficult to dance with me? ... I cross my face, and the petrified body begins to show cracks ...

Holy Night ... ! ... Holy Night is truly magnificent ? ! Hoo—who is calling me ! ? Never mind, let's not worry about it for now

Ah, Sheng Yi, so you are here. I just saw you in a fluster, were you looking for someone? Huh?! Boss, why are you all... Ah, the school badge...

Ah... ah...? Hmm... oh! I swallowed hard, trying to calm the heart that was racing wildly in my chest, my body felt like a rubber band stretched to its limit, taut and tense.

Oh? That... doesn't really matter whether I agree or not. Hehehe... I mentioned that this school badge is worth at least one yuan, and I, the great hero, plan to keep it as a backup resource, so I won't give it to anyone!

Boom! I suddenly understood, my face flushed with heat, and I shouted at him in exasperation: "You rotten stone! If you dare to laugh, I, I... I will definitely never pay attention to you again!"

My foot has already been flattened by you! Idiot pig, can you even dance?! Damn it! When did the sound of your insults on Christmas Eve become so magnetic? My heart is like a nail being drawn in by a powerful magnetic field, desperately trying to leap out of my throat.

Suddenly, Xiao Qiang called out to me from behind. I turned my head impatiently and discovered an orange falling from the sky, heading straight for the top of this hero's head

Everyone, please remain calm

Sheng Yi stared at me blankly, her eyes revealing a kind of painful sadness, and the radiance that once adorned her face had dimmed... My heart sank sharply, guilt almost drowning me like a tide! Damn it! Yi Linxi, are you an idiot? Why do you have to show it so obviously! I raised my hand, my face flushed, hesitated for a moment, but still took the initiative to place it on Sheng Yi's palm: "Hehe, hehe, Xiao Sheng, let's dance!" In an instant, Sheng Yi looked at me in surprise, she let out a gentle sigh, but the corners of her mouth had already curled up, revealing that radiant smile like sunshine on her face.

Silence ... ... Silence ... ...

Steamed buns! I want to go eat meat buns

Because I truly did not know what to do, I told Zheng Zhizhao about the events that occurred that day in the infirmary with Sheng Ye and Sheng Yi, albeit with some reservations

Hold hands, spin, move forward, move backward, while spinning

Holy Night gently extended his hand towards me, and a familiar scent of roses wafted over. ... I stared wide-eyed at the palm of Holy Night's hand, my heart bouncing around erratically like popping candy, as if my hand, after much effort, was slowly, slowly reaching out to Holy Night.

Xiao Xi, although fate has taken everything from me, I have long since given up on struggling and resisting. However, this is the first time I have someone I do not want to give up on, and because of this person, I do not want to give up on myself either. This is not a bond between brothers, nor is it due to a habit of relying on you, and it is certainly not drunken talk; on the contrary, I want to protect you. The pain and sadness you cannot bear, I will share with you. I want to hold your hand and walk in the sunset, and I want the whole world to envy the happiness we enjoy. I know that doing this may put my relationship with my brother at risk, but I can no longer care about that. I like you... Xiao Xi, I just like you!

I struggled slightly, pulled my foot back, turned my head, and glared at the Holy Night with a face full of dark energy, "What do you want?!"

You dare to mock this great hero again 1! You, you, you ... ...

Ahahaha—I'm sorry, I'm sorry to both of you, it seems I have disturbed you!

What? Since it doesn't hurt, why do you want me to ask you? Are you playing with me?

Oh? Why explain so much? Because... because I... I don't want you to misunderstand anything and feel unhappy!

I do not know how much time has passed, but the air around me feels as taut as a drawn bowstring, as if with just a little more effort, it would snap. How heavy it is, when did the school emblem become so heavy? I feel as if I am carrying a large stone, my arms trembling incessantly, while my palms feel as if they are being burned, with waves of pain radiating from my palms.

I do not know the reason, but my body seems to be trembling even more violently, and the fragrance of the roses floating around has also disappeared... My heart feels like a balloon that has been punctured, suddenly becoming empty...

Do, do, do, do you have it? ! '' Ka! Ka! Ka! Ka! I lifted my head slowly like a rusty robot, mechanically turning my face towards the holy night, the smile on my face more rigid than a loaf of bread left out for a year, "You, you, you see, I, I am not dancing well, well, am I? Hehehehe... ...

Oh oh oh! Oh oh oh! Oh oh oh!

Holy Night ... ... He is there ... ...

Zheng Zhizhao was momentarily taken aback, his expression stiffening for a moment. However, suddenly, he slapped his palm against his forehead, wearing a look that seemed to say "I concede to you," and laughed: "Yi Linxi, you are the biggest fool in the world! But if you encounter any difficulties in the future, just let me know, and I will definitely rush over... well, that's how it is.

My anger was suddenly extinguished, and I replied blankly: "Wha... what?"

Xiao Xi, you are indeed here

What should I do, what should I do, what should I do, what should I do? Is Sheng Yi going to ask me about the school emblem? How should I respond to him? ...! Refuse... ... ... Accept... ... Refuse... ... ... Accept...! ... They are fighting in my head!

I had just seen a can of cola suddenly drop from Sheng Yi's hand onto the grass, and then he quickly walked over... Suddenly, a blinding ray of sunlight made everything in front of me turn white, and I could see nothing clearly. I only felt my arm being tightly grasped by Sheng Yi, and two soft, warm lips, carrying a faint floral fragrance, gently pressed against my stiff lips... A blinding ray of sunlight suddenly made everything in front of me turn white, and I could see nothing clearly. I only felt my arm being tightly grasped by Sheng Yi, and two soft, warm lips, carrying a faint floral fragrance, gently pressed against my stiff lips...

Awkward ... ... Silence. ... ... ... Awkward ... ... Silence ... ...

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! This is truly despicable; I, the great hero, will never let you get away with this!" I raged, tugging at my hair and gritting my teeth, but suddenly caught sight of the 'Maruko Group' with their petrified expressions. I instantly calmed down, "What are you staring at? You all continue your conversation; I, the great hero, will take a stroll and be back soon!" After saying this, I pouted, stuffed my hands into my pants pockets, and wobbled away.

Yilin Xi, if I... say it hurts... would you... comfort me...

Hahahaha—" On Christmas Eve, one hand covering her forehead, she seemed to be desperately trying to hold back, yet she couldn't help but burst into laughter, her face turning bright red. "Yi Linxi, you truly are..."

You ... ... If you still don't understand ... ... '' I saw my eyes turn into two large incense coils, desperately spinning in the eye sockets, and Saint Yi suddenly fixed his gaze.

... ...

Everyone, please do not crowd! There are many people here, be careful not to step on others

Strange, why has suddenly everything gone silent? ... ! I looked down in surprise at the Holy Night, only to find that his expression shifted from shock to confusion, from confusion to doubt, and then from doubt to... ... ... to...

I suddenly have a strong feeling in my heart ... that the Holy Night will tell me something very important, very important, and just this thought makes my body tremble slightly, filled with anticipation ...

We want to see the dance We want to see the dance

"Come here, why are you standing at the door and not coming in? Fool." On Christmas Eve, Henry hummed softly, slightly propping himself against the door of the infirmary, and limped back to the bedside, turning around to sit down

Eh? Christmas Eve seems strange, as if she is lost in thought, standing there in a daze. Upon seeing me, she is slightly taken aback, regaining her composure with a somewhat stiff expression, yet she manages to curve her lips slightly, revealing a fleeting smile like a bubble, feeling so bitter... so helpless...

Brush—pop—

Red! Red! Red! A flush of red once again leaps across Zheng Zhizhao's face, and in the blink of an eye, the "light bulb head" has transformed into a tomato head

Oh? I don't know! Alas, it seems that Saint Yi must have misunderstood my relationship with Saint Ye. However, I truly did not expect that this kid would also have his moments of rising. "Little Saint, you misunderstood just now. Just now... I was merely comforting him, that's all. Don't overthink it, hehe..."

Wow—Christmas Eve is definitely the champion! So impressive! Hoho!

Rumbling rumbling rumbling—wow la la la la—

Oh? Is that true? I looked on in disbelief

Little Saint! Little Saint! Wait a moment! Saint Yi cannot engage in strenuous exercise, which is quite easy for me, an invincible hero who can traverse rooftops and walls.

... ...

Xiao Xi

Rumbling rumbling—rumbling rumbling—

Well ... ...

Yet all of this quickly vanished as I jumped down from the windowsill. I had no time to react and immediately chased after the direction in which Sheng Yi had just left.

Alas! Everyone else is laughing and chatting, why do our faces look as if they have been smeared with glue? Others flutter like butterflies, why do our legs feel as if they are filled with lead? How annoying, yet it is truly strange, what could be the reason? This hero has always been known for his exceptional courage and spirit, when exactly did I become so cowardly?

Suddenly, I felt my hand being held by a warm palm

Little Hope

As the music begins to play, the girls standing in the circle gently pinch the corners of their school uniform skirts, slightly bend their knees, and salute the boys standing opposite them. The boys, in turn, place their right hands lightly on their chests, bow gracefully, and extend one hand, inviting the girls across from them to dance together

Silence ... ... Silence ... ...

Both Shengye and I were taken aback. Turning our heads, we discovered that, at some unknown time, a can of cola had been thrown in through the open window, rolling on the concrete floor of the infirmary

Well... my foot... hurts a lot

Since it is like this ... ... Saint Yi finally turned around, raised his head to face me, but this resolute and stubborn gaze of Saint Yi was something I had never seen before. The sense of oppression he exuded even made me feel somewhat afraid, wanting to escape

Huff... huff... huff... huff... huff... huff... huff... huff...

Boss, just now an idiot actually rode a bicycle and charged straight at the Holy Night President, the wheels heavily ran over his ankle, and his leg was also cut deeply. The Holy Night President has already been sent to the infirmary! When I rushed to the finish line, what greeted me was the miserable faces of the "Maruko Group" and Zheng Zhizhao's serious expression

Clap clap clap! Clap clap clap! Clap clap clap! The "Maruko Group" rhythmically clapped their hands, making faces and cheering: "We want to see dancing! Oh oh oh! We want to see dancing! Oh oh oh!"

Oh? Ah, oh, um... Yes, yes! How infuriating, when did I, this invincible hero, become so inept? I can't even articulate a single sentence clearly

However, just as my heart was entangled in various strange emotions, Shenye suddenly paused gently, lowering his head. At that moment, I happened to raise my eyes to look at him, and we quietly gazed at each other. Shenye's eyes resembled a lake shimmering with ripples under the silvery moonlight, creating waves that rippled in my heart... The music faded away... My classmates also disappeared... Shenye suddenly paused gently, lowering his head, and I happened to raise my eyes to look at him. We continued to gaze at each other in silence, and Shenye's eyes were like a lake gently rippling under the silvery moonlight, creating waves that rippled in my heart... The music faded away... My classmates also disappeared... Everything became still, and only the irregular beating of my heart reminded me that this was not a dream.

... ... Little Saint ... ... Is Saint Yi running over? He is panting heavily, and his face is very pale

Ah! This... this is not... I accidentally... alas... in any case, just let it be! When I got angry, I raised my hand and forcefully threw the orange into the trash can beside the hospital bed

Dong

Mad and crazy? Is this what he just meant by "strange"?

I looked at my elbow resting on my thigh, and as I sat across from the Holy Night, I suddenly felt a slight shock.

Let's get started! Huh... Has time really passed as if a century has gone by? On Christmas Eve, Sheng Ye suddenly took a deep breath and then gently exhaled, seemingly giving me a helpless glare. But why did I feel a hint of tenderness in that hard gaze of his?

Stinky rock! What exactly do you want to do?! My time is very precious! I turned around, hands on my hips, pouting with a look that screamed high fashion at him, but deep down... I felt a bit happy...

I originally thought Sheng Yi would take the opportunity to ask me for the final answer I gave him, but Sheng Yi said nothing at all. In the end, he and I exchanged a respectful bow as a gesture of gratitude for dancing together, then he left the hall with a brilliant smile, saying: "I will go out for a short break and will be back soon, Xiao Xi, wait for me!"

"Get out of the way!" Zheng Zhizhao pushed aside the wide-eyed Sanba, who was intently studying his hero, and said with some annoyance, "Are you an idiot? You should really think about your own matters, you fool!"

Then... shall I begin?

I strode confidently to the door of the infirmary, forcefully pulled it open, and prepared to rush out, intending to conclude my visit to the Holy Night with a thunderous slam of the door. However, just as one of my feet had not fully crossed the threshold, I suddenly heard the voice of the Holy Night behind me.

Alas, damn it! This hero is not here to spy on him, so why is he so frightened? ...! This only makes things feel strange. ... ... Alas, now that it has come to this, I absolutely cannot let him discover that I am standing here, otherwise he will surely say some nonsensical words to mock this hero!

Ah—Saint Yi! President of the Holy Night! Please exchange school badges with me!

... ...

Sigh... Upon reaching the destination, the infirmary was right beside me... I once again confirmed that there were no idle people in the corridor, stretched my ears to listen for any sounds from the infirmary, and upon finding no voices, I cautiously leaned my head towards the door and gently pushed it open a crack...

I turned my head and saw Saint Ida panting, standing in front of me

idiot

What is it?

Little Saint

Give the school emblem to others

Saint Night looked at the oranges in the trash can and let out a gentle sigh, then turned to me with what seemed to be a hint of anger, "Idiot pig, is this your attitude towards the patient?"

Gulong

I grabbed Zheng Zhizhao by the collar, my eyes wide open in disbelief

I extended my hand, ready to present the orange in my hand as a meeting gift for the Holy Night, but when I opened my palm, I was dismayed to find that the orange had somehow been squished flat by me, rendering it inedible, and my palm was filled with orange juice

Thud

Oh! How infuriating! Ah, it's driving me crazy! The more I think about it, the more agitated I become, and I end up scratching my head like a frantic monkey. Forget it, I have decided not to attend the school anniversary dance; it's just too much trouble! Besides, I often skip classes anyway!

Brush

Snap!

My body trembled slightly, and I raised my head in surprise, encountering the profound, steadfast, and gentle gaze of the Holy Night, which shone like stars in the night sky

At that moment, Sheng Ye gazed deeply into my eyes, what kind of expression was that

Thank you for your comfort! At the school anniversary dance this Saturday... your school badge... do not give it to others...

I can feel that Saint Yi's gaze is as gentle and tranquil as the light of the moon, watching over me... Because of this, from beginning to end, I dared not lift my head to look at him even once, only tightly keeping my head down to gaze at the ground, watching the sneakers on my feet and Saint Yi's feet draw closer, move in, spin around, come closer again, and then move away... Until the time spent dancing with Saint Yi came to an end.

Until the time spent dancing with Saint Yi came to an end

Holy Night

"Just close your eyes," Zheng Zhizhao said calmly, turning his head back to look at the same white cloud as I did. "After you close your eyes, the first image that appears in your mind is of whom, you can give the school badge to him."

My heavens, I feel as if I am about to be melted away! His chestnut-colored hair glows softly under the lights, effortlessly entering my heart. My originally restless heart feels warm, as if bathed in gentle light, so comfortable. His bright and deep eyes are more dazzling than any gem in the world. Now, he gazes deeply at me, as if the entire world consists of just the two of us.

Blood surged violently to my head, and I shouted as I rushed to the windowsill. Just as I was about to jump down, I suddenly remembered something and instinctively turned my head to glance at the holy night.

Eh? I, I ... ...

The strings in my heart have snapped one by one

Dizzy ... ... My head is so dizzy. ... ... ! What on earth is happening now ? ! My mind is completely blank !

"Will you also be concerned about the school anniversary dance and the school emblem?" Zheng Zhizhao raised his eyebrows and looked at me, "After the group dance, there will be a 10-minute break, which the students of Maple Forest High School refer to as 'Cinderella's 600 seconds'"

What are you doing

It seems that I do not need to join in this commotion at all. Like tossing a marble, I threw the school badge in the palm of my hand a couple of times, then grasped it tightly, feeling dejected as I turned around and walked out of the auditorium through the back door, intending to get some fresh air in the small garden behind the auditorium.

Ahahaha, Xiaosheng, Shengye just ran very fast, he must be the champion! I don't know why, but I instinctively changed the subject quickly, "Moreover, our school's tug-of-war team has also advanced, it seems those people are bound to lose!"

Idiot pig

Suddenly, a sharp whistle abruptly interrupted the conversation between Xiao Sheng and me. I could only see a large crowd of people raising a cloud of dust as they surged towards the finish line, with waves of noisy exclamations forming an invisible net in the air above the sports event

Oh? I stared wide-eyed at the Holy Night in disbelief, completely dumbfounded.

"Little... little saint..." Damn, if I had known, I would have studied the language properly. I can't understand a single word of what Saint Yi is saying

Silence ... ... silence. ... ... ... silence ... ... silence ... ...

Saint Yi seemed to have noticed my shock, gently turning his face away, his gaze looking at me as tenderly as water, "Xiao Xi, do your best at the sports meet... at the school anniversary dance, I await your response..."

Oh no! I was startled and instinctively pulled my head back quickly, leaning my body against the wall at the door of the infirmary, gasping for breath, my heart nearly leaping out of my throat

Suddenly, on Christmas Eve, Sheng Ye called out to me in an unusually calm voice, and it was so... gentle...

Little Xi! It was not until I felt a sudden tap on my shoulder that I turned my head and discovered that Sheng Yi had somehow appeared behind me. His complexion was somewhat gray, resembling a glass window that had not been completely cleaned; it allowed warmth to pass through but did not convey a sense of clarity. As soon as he saw me, a warm smile blossomed on his face like a flower

Something happened?! Christmas Eve?! These words pierced my ears, and my heart instantly tightened. I didn't even care whether the little saint had finished speaking, I dashed straight towards the finish line.

What?! Does he want to die?! I am about to explode with my bulging eyes

Hearing the sound of the holy night at the door of the infirmary, my mind buzzed, and a sweat droplet larger than a grape slid down the back of my head

Do not cry, do not cry, the holy night is the strongest, look, whoosh, the pain has flown away!

Gulu! I swallowed a mouthful of saliva. What a scene this is! Almost all the classmates were suddenly stirred up, clapping their hands and joining in the commotion. The noisy sounds nearly drowned out the music, and the boiling atmosphere became increasingly uncontrollable

Hmph, that little rascal Xiaoqiang actually saw through the thoughts of this great hero! The most disappointing one is still myself—being classmates, it is quite normal to check on his injuries, right? Why did my face suddenly become so hot, as if I were about to do something very shameful... How infuriating...

There is an opportunity to dance with President Seiya and Saint Yi! A rare chance that comes once in a thousand years, hurry up and line up!

Indeed, it was you who was peeking just now

Boss, wait a moment
