Chapter 08: The Triangle, Brothers in Rivalry

Bang! The door was suddenly slammed open.

Little Yi! Are you alright? We will take you to the hospital right away

Shining ... ... Shining ... ...

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Wow! Student Sheng Yi! Wait for me! No matter what, I must exchange school badges with you today!

Thud

"Fool!" The Holy Night smiled faintly, and in his obsidian-like eyes, a steadfast light flickered. "Do you still not understand? In my heart, your safety is the most important thing! If they truly threaten your safety for that box, it doesn't matter if I bear all the blame, it doesn't matter if I go against my own principles! It doesn't matter if I pay any price..." The sunlight spilled over his fair skin, and he seemed to shine brightly. He slightly lowered his eyes as if murmuring to himself, but those words flowed from his heart like a stream...

Ah, it is Saint Yi

Go Hayakawa High School! Go Hayakawa High School! Go Hayakawa High School!

Ah? Is it really that simple? Huh, I suddenly feel like a deflated balloon, curling up in my blanket.

Bang

At that moment, a flash of white light suddenly appeared across from the swimming pool

The colorful bubbles that had just risen into the air suddenly burst all at once. I glanced sideways, with dark clouds looming overhead. Can't this guy show a little decency? My brothers are all present after all

I was momentarily taken aback and hurried over. At that moment, there was no one else in the corridor except for me and Sheng Ye. Remembering what had happened after the ball yesterday, my face suddenly flushed, and my already exhausted heart began to race again, pounding against my throat!

Alas ... do not be afraid, do not be afraid, Yilinxi. ... it is merely a stretching exercise in the water, there is nothing to fear!

In an instant, a myriad of expressions crossed Saint Yi's face. He lowered his head and fell silent

... ...

Go to hell! ... This hero is so reckless that he even dares to insult me ... ... I was just about to explode, wait a minute ... ...

"Brother... why... why did you save me first?" Suddenly, Sheng Yi, who had been silent all along, slowly spoke up. He gazed blankly at Sheng Ye's injured leg, his eyes filled with a swirling emotion, as if it were he who was injured.

And I also stood on the diving platform, but my heart was pounding "thump thump! thump thump!" and would not obey.

Watching the three foolish members of the "Maruko Group" flee in disarray, a line as long as chopsticks slid down from my forehead. Just as I was contemplating whether to pan-fry or deep-fry those three fools, their screams suddenly echoed from the auditorium in the distance

"Holy Night! Holy Night!" I suddenly opened my eyes and sat up abruptly from the bed.

... ...

Thank you

Today, no matter what, I will not give up

No, I cannot! I am not yet able to face Saint Yi. I have not thought clearly about how to speak to him. I do not want to hurt him, I cannot!

What? ... ! My brain short-circuited again, and I stared blankly at the Holy Night, perhaps he could no longer evade my gaze, finally he slowly turned his head and glanced at me... ...

Ah, this sound... is Saint Yi!

Little Saint ... ... my heart wavered once again

Xiao Xi ... ... " Sheng Yi looked at my hand tightly gripping the phone, and her expression stiffened for a moment, " Your school badge ... ... "

Ugh... how infuriating. The domineering tone of Holy Night is truly astonishing. Even I, the invincible hero of the world, can only pout in discontent and mechanically turn my face towards him, asking, "What... what do you want to do?! Ugh—"

Saint Yi... he actually chased after them, his sneakers dirty from being stepped on, his steps somewhat unsteady, probably due to being jostled too much by the girls. The buttons of his uniform jacket had all come undone, and even the white shirt worn underneath his coat appeared somewhat disheveled. However, despite this, the blue rose emblem on his uniform remained firmly pinned in place, showing no signs of having been tugged at.

Hahaha, it seems that I, Yilin Xi, am indeed a genius. It is likely that I am the only unique heroine who participates in a swimming competition with a swimming ring. I must achieve ultimate victory in Fenglin!

Xiao Xi! Xiao Xi!

Just as I had newly fallen into the Arctic ice cave, the sound of Christmas Eve suddenly rang out. I looked up and saw Christmas Eve, drenched in sweat, rushing towards me with somewhat unsteady steps

Come out to play quickly ... ... Come out to play quickly ... ...

In an instant, a warm current seemed to wander through our room, as if accompanied by the sunlight, lingering for a long time

Thud

Half an hour later, the three of us stood side by side at the entrance of the park, looking up at the large red characters "Red Maple Central Park" hanging on the iron gate of the park, with three distinct expressions on our faces: speechless! triumphant! surprised!

... ...

Good! I trembled as I forcefully pulled out the phone from my jacket pocket—119? 120. Damn it, what is the number to call an ambulance? Yi Linxi! Yi Linxi! If something happens to Saint Yi today, it will all be your fault! It will all be your fault! It will all be your fault!

Brother

Thump! Thump thump! Thump thump!

"It's so noisy!" Sheng Ye glanced at Sheng Yi, then shot me a fierce glare, and said in a low voice, "It's nothing, just that the wound from last time hasn't healed yet."

"Xiao Xi, I beg you... please do not hide from me like this anymore, and do not run away from me at will... This makes me more afraid than facing death..."

However, as I watched their figures grow increasingly distant, the sounds around me also faded away. Why are my eyes becoming blurrier? My heart feels heavy, sinking down along with my body

"Little Sheng, stop chasing me. No matter what, I will not stop today. Hurry up and give up!" I anxiously shouted to Sheng Yi behind me.

The holy night was unusually calm, and he calmly raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a warm smile as he gazed reassuringly at Saint Yi: "The competition is not the most important thing."

Uh... that... hehehe... this guy, Saint Night, is still so fierce. It must have been a dream just now. "Oh! Hmm..." I nodded, recalling that dream, and hurriedly ran towards the exit of the corridor. However, just as I reached the door, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a chestnut-colored hair strand on my shoulder.

Alas, yesterday's chase race caused the already injured foot of Holy Night to flare up again. Not only did the wound on the foot burst open, but it also swelled up like a large radish, making it impossible to participate in the competition

The "Maruko Group" sensed that the situation was not favorable: "Hehe, hehe, Boss, President, Master Uncle, we won't disturb you any longer, we'll take our leave now!" Saying this, they dragged Zheng Zhizhao out with them.

As I turned around, I ran forward with all my strength

I do not know why, but I have some concerns

This time, Fenglin High School is doomed in the relay swimming finals! I heard that Shengye cannot participate in today's competition due to a recurrence of a foot injury, and that girl must be here to replace Shengye!

However, the cold and unyielding face of the Holy Night suddenly jumped into my mind

Oh? School... school emblem

What is the matter? Is this the attitude one should have when visiting a patient?

... ... En ... ...

I felt someone shaking my arm vigorously, and as I blinked, the blurry image before me became increasingly clear

Saint Yi laughed out loud with a "giggle," but then mischievously winked at me, and with unwavering determination continued, "However, if Xiao Xi gives you the school badge, I will find a way to snatch it back from you in the second year!"

Saint Yi let out a silent cry, and then he seemed to be frozen, just like me, not uttering a single word, only staring blankly at Saint Night. After a long while, a thin layer of mist appeared in his bright eyes, and he glanced at me in a somewhat flustered manner, as if trying to break free from something... I only saw him tightly biting his own lip, lowering his head, and remaining silent for a very long time... I only saw him tightly biting his own lip, lowering his head, and remaining silent for a very long time...

I finally managed to persuade him to let me compete on his behalf. Although at that time I confidently assured him, now my heart feels like it is beating like a drum...! ... That damned Lady Jin somehow got wind of it and actually sent someone to inform us that we must either give up or I can only compete!

Go for it! Go for it! Go for it, British High School!

Ah! ... That white figure in front ...! ... No mistake, it is Saint Yi ...! It seems there are many people strenuously holding onto someone who is about to jump into the water ...

Eh? ...! Saint Yi. ... ...! Didn't I tell him not to chase after me? ...! Why is he still... ...? Woe, there's no other way. Although "Lightbulb Head" says that avoiding is a very poor thing to do, in this situation, I would rather be seen as inadequate by Saint Yi than to casually make him sad. Alas, Yi Linxi, runーー.

Oh? Holy Night

No... I will not give up! I turned my already steaming face away, not daring to continue looking into those eyes as deep as the night sky on Christmas Eve. Since I have accepted the task of guarding Maple Forest High School, then ensuring victory in the competition is my responsibility! Moreover... this sports event is crucial for whether Maple Forest High School can rank in the top seven. You must be eager to qualify for the final orienteering competition, so go find Rinbow. Therefore... no matter what, I will not give up!

... ... Little Saint ... ... Little Saint! Little Saint!!

Boss, you must not throw us three brothers down like this!

Sigh... When I looked back again, as I had thought, Saint Yi had stopped chasing me... Behind me, there was only a hollow darkness left... That fool should have given up long ago, knowing full well that his health was poor, yet he still desperately pursued me. Doesn't he realize how dangerous this is? ... Really... But why do I feel this emptiness in my heart? That fool should have given up long ago, knowing full well that his health was poor, yet he still desperately pursued me. Doesn't he realize how dangerous this is? ... Really... But why do I feel this emptiness in my heart?

Oh...! ... No! It's so chaotic, my mind is so confused! I can't stop! ...! Huh... ... ... I'm thinking, take a deep breath, brace myself, and speed up to charge forward.

... ... Hey ... ... Idiot Pig ... ... Yi Linxi! Wake up! It's time for the competition! Yi Linxi!

Little Saint

Everyone take their positions

I forcibly erased the image of Saint Yi's sweat-drenched face and his incredibly determined gaze from my eyes and mind, turned around, and accelerated to full power, charging forward!

Xiao Xi took a deep breath, stood up straight, and smiled at me, saying, "I have caught you!"

"Because Xiao Sheng, you are my one and only brother, the only family member in the world!" Sheng Ye trembled slightly, then calmly raised his head to look at Sheng Yi, "From the moment our mother left us, I vowed that Sheng Ye would exist for Sheng Yi."

Ah, I have it! Looking at the somewhat dejected Saint Yi, a sudden idea flashed through my mind, and I snapped my fingers

Sheng Yi bent over, gasping for breath against the ground, sweat falling from his cheeks like rain. After a long while, his breathing finally began to calm down slightly. ... Sheng Yi raised his head, and what appeared before me was a face that seemed to have experienced the greatest happiness in the world, a smile brighter than the sun—though this face had become paler than paper.

I have thought of a great idea! Hehe... I raised my head and flashed a mischievous smile at Sheng Ye and Sheng Yi, my teeth gleaming with pride in the sunlight. "Come with me!"

I nodded and made a victory "V" sign towards the pilgrimage night, then quickly ran out of the passageway.

Little... Little Sheng... why is your face so pale?! After being suddenly embraced by Sheng Yi, I felt a jolt throughout my body, as if my consciousness had returned to my physical form. However, Sheng Yi's condition was clearly problematic; his complexion was frighteningly white, as if a fierce monster was about to burst forth from his chest, and he was utterly unable to stop it

On Christmas Eve, Sheng Ye hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and softly responded.

Watching Saint Yi, who was already pushed to the limit yet still stumbling towards me, I could no longer muster the courage to turn and flee, but I also found myself unable to step forward towards him. My feet felt as if they had taken root in the ground, rendering me incapable of moving even a single step in any direction. I could only stare in shock, my eyes wide open, as Saint Yi approached me step by step... step by step... coming closer... closer... My feet felt as if they had taken root in the ground, rendering me incapable of moving even a single step in any direction. I could only stare in shock, my eyes wide open, as Saint Yi approached me step by step... step by step... coming closer... closer... closer...

Idiot pig, turn your head around

The sound of rushing water

Yilinxi, hurry up ah—ah ah—

I could only see Saint Yimao straining with all his might, paddling his hands vigorously as he sprinted towards me

Little Saint ... ... '' As I watched Saint Yi running towards me, panting and drenched in sweat, my heart seemed to be gently stirred by something. However, suddenly, a voice surged into my mind, jolting me back to awareness.

Ah? After hearing this, why do I feel as if I have drunk chili water, my whole body is burning, and my face is flushed... Little Sheng... Little Sheng seems to be stunned as well

Seeing other athletes heading in the same direction, I quickly grabbed my swimming ring and followed suit

This is merely to prove that you are bound to lose, Xiao Xi, it is better to give up! SUN remained calm in the face of my roar, his tone resembling both a warning and a consolation.

By the way, I still do not know who my savior is

Saint Yi gazed deeply at me, his eyes heavy enough to almost take my breath away. "Xiao Xi, I thought you always knew, for me, losing you is no different from dying."

Hehe... Brother, is that true?

That is the twin brother of the president of the Holy Night, Saint Yi

She is really, really sinking down

... ...

"Hello, Yi Linxi, is this the idea you came up with?" Sheng Ye had a look of frustration on his face, clearly displaying the words: "I really shouldn't have trusted you".

Yilinxi, you damned fellow

At that time, the president of the Holy Night had blood flowing from his leg again! It was a lot!

I waved my fist excitedly and shouted: "Stupid rock! Are you crazy?! We just lost a match, and the outcome is still uncertain! How can you do this? How can we just give up like this!"

However, at that moment, I suddenly thought that if there were no 'Idiot Pig', no troublemaker running around, life would probably become quite dull... The deep gaze of the Holy Night quietly looked ahead, and a gentle glow suddenly appeared on his face, as if it still carried a hint of a smile

... ...

Bang! Suddenly, there was another loud sound as a splash of water erupted.

I tightly gripped my phone with my trembling hand, turned my head in surprise, and discovered Saint Yi, lying in the embrace of the Holy Night, slowly opening his eyes weakly...

rumbling

The first leg of the relay swimming at Maple Forest High School is "Squid". Although this fellow usually keeps to himself, it is truly unexpected that he is quite skilled at swimming!

Yilinxi, hold on! Shengye shouted, lifting Shengyi with one hand so that his head could surface. However, when his other hand grabbed my shoulder, Shengyi suddenly sank down. At that moment, Shengye's brow twitched heavily, as if he was using all his strength to endure the pain. Ah! I almost forgot that he also had a foot injury! It is simply impossible for him to save both of us back to the shore with his own strength alone.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, and the warm feeling from when Saint Night held me suddenly resurfaced in my mind. This fleeting memory was like the most magical spell, and when I opened my eyes again, I found myself filled with confidence once more

feeling irritable and restless feeling irritable and restless

I swim swim swim ! ! I row row row ! ! Puff puff puff puff !

Eh? What are you looking at? What's so interesting?! It's over, my heart is racing faster and faster! At this rate, this great hero won't suffer a heart attack, will he!

Ah—Christmas Eve! The president of the Christmas Eve event at Maple Forest High School has jumped down!

Time seemed to stand still, and no one spoke. Suddenly, Sheng Yi lifted her head, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Sheng Ye, her voice trembling slightly: "Brother... thank you..."

There is one more thing I would like to tell you..." Saint Night looked at me, then glanced at Saint Yi, paused slightly, and gently said, "That box... I have already handed it over to Lady Jin!"

Then... who is it again... snore! snore! ... drank a lot of water... can't... can't manage this much anymore...

Brother ... ... Xiao Xi ... ...

"Fool! You clearly can't swim yet you still want to show off. If it weren't for President Shengye, you would have already turned into a dead fish!" Zheng Zhizhao glared with wide eyes and roared fiercely

Oh... yes... it is Holy Night! But this is the entrance passage for the competitors at the swimming pool, how... what is happening? Why is my head so dizzy? Did I just fall asleep? ! ... I... I seemed to vaguely feel Holy Night just now... he held me tightly... ? ... was it just a dream? But why does it feel so real? ... he held me tightly... ? ... was it just a dream? But why does it feel so real?

Thud— "Yi Linxi! Yi Linxi! How are you?"

Saint Yi ... ? ... Has he not given up yet? Why is he being so stubborn? ! ! Also, with such intense exercise, can his body handle it? . ! I stood up in surprise, looking into the distance, where I could only vaguely make out the figure of Saint Yi, my heart swinging like the needle of a balance scale, swaying violently.

"Keep it up," said Holy Night with a smile

Under the starlight, Saint Yi's smile is so radiant, as if it has captured all the brilliance of the night sky

I puffed out my cheeks, my hands and feet flailing in a panic beside me, yet to my surprise, I was sinking faster and faster

Mingde High School No. 1! Mingde High School will surely win!

Brother ... ... '' Sheng Yi widened his eyes, looking at Sheng Ye in confusion

Boom boom boom! ... Before I could react, the "Meatball Group" and "Lightbulb Head" had already surrounded my hospital bed, their four faces displaying a mix of anxiety, panic, and near tears ...! ... Some were even angry!

I turned my head and looked towards the stands, and found that Sheng Yi, Xiao Qiang, and "Meat | Ball" were all standing in the front row, waving vigorously at me. Ah, Sheng Ye is also here! Although he hasn't done anything, for some reason, the moment I see him, I feel filled with ideals!

Then ... ... then ... ...

On the long night of Christmas, she let out a long sigh and looked at me earnestly: "The competition is about to begin, so give it your all! However, if it becomes too difficult later on, just give up immediately. Do not push yourself to avoid any danger."

Thud

Huh? What is that? A strange sound entered my ears, and I curiously perked up my ears to listen around. An ominous premonition, however, quietly surged in my heart!

A large mass of dust, resembling a dark cloud, surged from the back door of the auditorium towards the small garden, and in almost an instant, the dust suddenly engulfed Saint Yi

Huh? That's strange, did I hear wrong? I am already outside the auditorium, so why can I still hear Saint Yi's voice?

Huh?! Is that Sheng Yi's voice?! Has Sheng Yi woken up?!

The feeling of this is still so good!

Suddenly

When Saint Yi grasped my arm, my body trembled violently

Huff, puff, huff, puff

Yi Linxi ! Yi Linxi ! Yi Linxi ... ...

I... I opened my mouth in a daze, but could not say anything.

Is it you?! I turned my head and was surprised to see SUN's face. An uncontrollable anger surged up again, and I could hardly restrain myself from wanting to punch him a few times. "How dare you come here! Was the incident on Christmas Eve your doing? Speak up, speak up!"

Boom! ... The question from Saint Yi has left me completely frozen ... ! ... I am both looking forward to and fearful of Saint Ye's response !

"Xiao Xi, don't be afraid! I'm here to save you!" Suddenly, Sheng Yi's head broke through the surface of the water, and a pair of icy hands tightly gripped my neck. He desperately flailed his arms, trying to support me and swim away, but he was powerless... His movements became increasingly labored, while his breathing grew more rapid...

The droplets blurred my vision, and I could only see a familiar figure recklessly approaching us. Splashing and crashing! The transparent azure water of the pool surged up and down like a rampaging warrior

Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash!

Speaking of which, the weather today is truly delightful, with a refreshing breeze that feels as if it is beckoning to me

"You will regret it!" SUN's voice was cold yet tinged with a hint of anxiety. What exactly did he want to say? He quickly glanced forward, his brows furrowing into a shadowy expression. Suddenly, he turned his head and slipped out of the passage, vanishing without a trace.

It has been a week since the sports meeting ended, and we still do not know how many points we have. Sigh, early this morning, Sheng Yi and I went to the student council office of Sheng Ye and reviewed the "Cultural Festival Activity Content Feedback Form" thoroughly.

Hahaha, look everyone, that girl from Maple Forest High School actually brought a lifebuoy to participate in the relay swimming finals!

Ah, it is Saint Yi calling me! ... Woe ...! ... Never mind, never mind, my mind is so chaotic, I need to find a place to calm down first!

Suddenly, I felt Saint Yi grip my hand tightly, and my body leaned to the side under that force. When I came to my senses, I found myself tightly embraced in Saint Yi's arms. "Xiao Xi..." Saint Yi rested his head on my shoulder. Is he crying? Why does his voice sound so sorrowful?

Chestnut-colored hair ... ! ... It is the Holy Night ... ! So ? ... ... ... So it is said ... ... Just now, the Holy Night was holding me ... ... ! Is it true ? !

Dear students, please consciously step back behind the yellow warning line on the stands and do not disrupt the competition

In an instant, I felt as if the entire world had lit up, and my heart was filled to the brim with a sweet sensation

At that moment, I suddenly felt a tightness in my shoulder, a tremendous force that even brought a wave of pain. Sheng Ye glanced at the pale-faced Sheng Yi, who seemed to have fallen into a coma, his eyes tightly shut, and even his breathing had become faint. The anxiety in Sheng Ye's eyes grew heavier; the hand that had been gripping the tip of my arrow trembled slightly. He turned his head again, the struggle in his eyes transforming into an inextricable darkness. Finally, a decisive glimmer flashed through his eyes. He looked deeply at me, gritted his teeth, and then turned his head, swimming towards the shore with Sheng Yi, disregarding everything!

"Brother..." Sheng Yi suddenly turned his head to look at Sheng Ye, smiling knowingly, "I knew you would come after me... In the past, you got to know Xiao Xi before I did, but this time, I was the one who caught her first..."

No, Xiaoxi!" Sheng Yi gasped, his gaze so resolute that it seemed no one could sway him, "I am just like you; today, no matter what, I will not give up either!

I am constantly choked, unable to breathe, and Xiao Sheng is also struggling, his body growing heavier. We feel as if we are trapped in a black vortex from which we cannot escape, ready to be consumed at any moment

I followed behind "Squid," carrying a lifebuoy, heading towards the swimming pool, while our partners were Song Yoon-ah and Jung Ji-cho.

Little Sheng! Little Sheng! What is wrong with you!" Little Sheng's cold hand gripped me tightly, refusing to let go, but both of us were inevitably sinking deeper and deeper... Oh my God! Little Sheng's body is so weak that she cannot endure such intense exertion!

After the grand and chaotic school anniversary dance concluded, the sports meeting reached its climax the following day. The usually empty swimming pool at Maple Forest High School was filled to capacity in the high stands, where the finals of the men's and women's relay swimming events were taking place

Brother... this is the competition you care about the most... You value promises so much, you promised to be the guardian of that box, so... why did you give up so easily..." Sheng Ye's words seemed to deeply shock Sheng Yi, his big eyes sparkling with light, as he gazed at Sheng Ye for a long time, finally murmuring the question in his heart after a while. His big eyes sparkled with light, and he gazed at Sheng Ye for a long time, finally murmuring the question in his heart after a while.

After running for a while, when I was certain in my mind that Saint Yi would not chase after me anymore, I stopped my somewhat sore feet and turned to look back—Saint Yi was actually still far behind me, running desperately.

... ...

Indeed! I nodded confidently, having automatically blocked it out. What can one think of while cooped up indoors? It is better to go outside and take a stroll!

My heart suddenly jolted, and I turned around in surprise

Huff, puff, huff, puff

Ignoring the astonished gazes of my classmates around me, I charged into the auditorium like a rocket, and then swiftly dashed out of the auditorium.

Xiao Yi ... ... Yi Linxi ... ...

"Holy Night, your foot..." I suddenly realized something and abruptly stretched my body out of bed, as if those white gauze were gradually seeping with bright red blood. "Are you hurt?!"

Wow! It is not Christmas Eve, it is not Christmas Eve!

"Xiao Yi!" Upon seeing the scene before her, Sheng Ye was suddenly taken aback, quickly rushing to my side to catch Sheng Yi, allowing her to lie on the ground. "Xiao Yi! Xiao Yi... Yi Linxi, call an ambulance!"

Upon hearing Sheng Yi's question, Sheng Ye involuntarily trembled as if an electric current had passed through him, but he quickly regained his composure. He raised his eyes and looked at me with a complex expression. Shi Hu thought for a moment, then lowered his head and gently smiled at Sheng Yi, saying, "If that is the case... I will be happy for you."

It seems I can open my eyes ... ... It seems I can see who that person is who is holding me tightly ... ...

Little Sheng! Holy Night! Are you all alright? That's wonderful! That's wonderful! Hearing Little Sheng's voice filled me with excitement. I looked around and immediately noticed that Holy Night and Sheng Yi were lying on the two hospital beds beside me. Sheng Yi's complexion was still a bit pale, but her bright big eyes had already regained their former sparkle. Holy Night's feet, however, were tightly wrapped in layers of gauze, and she gazed calmly ahead.

At that moment, a series of footsteps echoed through the corridor, likely indicating the arrival of other competitors

Saint Yi's words made my heart beat anew and with great intensity

At the very moment when my face finally met Saint Night, I suddenly felt a force gripping my arm fiercely, and my body lurched forward, plunging into Saint Night's embrace! A familiar scent of roses instantly filled my mind, and I felt as if I were intoxicated, dizzy and unable to think of anything. Then, a voice as soft as the wind gently floated into my ear. A familiar scent of roses instantly filled my mind, and I felt as if I were intoxicated, dizzy and unable to think of anything. Then, a voice as soft as the wind gently floated into my ear

Xiao Xi ... ... Xiao Xi ! Xiao Xi ... ...

On the holy night, she smiled at him, and I quietly watched the two of them gazing at each other, suddenly filled with a sense of joy in my heart

Ah, the park! So many people, shall we go in and have some fun

Oh? ...! Saint, Saint Yi. ... ...! Why is he asking like this?!

Little Hope

I took a deep breath, calming my chaotic emotions. However, just as I was about to turn and walk towards the dormitory, a swaying figure suddenly appeared at the end of the dim light, gradually becoming clearer and clearer

Is it an illusion? No, it is not an illusion! ... Christmas Eve ... ... He is standing there with a cane, gently smiling at me, and softly waving his hand ... ...

Yilinxi! In the blink of an eye, the second swimmer, Song Yoon-ah, has already reached in front of me. I high-fived her, lifted the swimming ring, and with a splash, jumped into the pool

Go, boss! Go, boss!

I could not afford to think deeply and could only hold tightly onto Saint Yi, who was completely limp in my embrace

Little Xi! Are you awake?! A joyful voice from Saint Yi came from my left, "My brother and I are here!"

My head is becoming heavier and heavier... I want to scream but no sound comes out, and that figure is getting closer and closer to me... closer and closer...

"We lost..." said Sheng Ye, looking at me deeply, his voice calm as water.

I stopped in my tracks, standing still, and turned my head in astonishment, my pupils dilating continuously in shock—dilating—dilating.

Yet on Christmas Eve, she gently pursed her lips, staring blankly at Saint Yi, her deep eyes flowing with more... more emotions that I cannot comprehend

The school emblem... is missing!

Who is it? ... ! They kept bothering me, and now it has finally quieted down ... ...

Huff, puff, huff, puff

Beep beep

Brother, I truly did not expect the outcome to be like this

By the way, brother...

Idiot pig! Do not make such disgusting expressions at me

On the holy night ... ... it was still he who saved me

Saint Yi's words struck me like a jolt of electricity, causing my heart to tighten suddenly, and my chaotic mind instantly became blank.

Holy ... Holy Night, how did the competition turn out ... ... '' Hoo hoo, feeling anxious inside, it's so chaotic!

A series of overwhelming exclamations surged into my ears like an endless pool of water... I struggled to beat the surface of the water, fighting to prevent myself from sinking further, then stiffened my neck, straining to look ahead...

What?! I exclaimed in disbelief at the same time as Saint Yi

At this moment, I have completely reached my limit, my vision has gone blank

You... how did you come here? I asked with a slightly dry throat due to nervousness.

The suggestions put forth by everyone are either too outdated or too disconnected from reality. In just one week, the cultural festival competition will take place, and if this continues, it will become quite troublesome

Because you are, after all, my classmate

So... he looked at me again and said, "Yi Linxi, I hope you can understand as well"

Victory! Victory! I made a "V" sign at them, then turned my head, took a deep breath, and got ready

This hero remembers that a very powerful person once said, "Disaster rides on the back of a rhinoceros, so fortune will also follow!" After the swimming competition, although I encountered danger, I felt as if the strange knot in my heart had been untied. No one mentioned the school badge anymore; instead, we all worked together to win the competition and defeat the dark forces! Haha, this hero no longer needs to dig tunnels when encountering Saint Night and Saint Yi!

Go for it, Xiao Xi!

"Little Sheng..." I looked at him in disbelief, my gaze shaking with shock. "Fool... fool! Little Sheng, your health is not good, how can you run so far? Don't you know that this could cost you your life?!"

I do not know where the courage came from, but I blurted it out all at once, and after saying it, I regretted it so much that I wished I could pull my own hair out. Damn it! Why does my tone sound like that of a jealous little wife!

"If it weren't for the president of the Holy Night, you would have already turned into a dead fish!"

The mixed relay swimming competition is about to begin. All competitors, please take your positions and prepare for the race

The fragrance of the rose

Bang

After a long time, Saint Yi gently broke the silence, raising her face, her gaze slowly shifting from me to Saint Night's face

Bastard, this is impossible! Our Maple Forest must win this competition!" I glared at him fiercely and said loudly, "Just wait and cry!"

Little Saint! Little Saint! Are you alright? Do you have any pain anywhere?

It doesn't matter... I just... " Sheng Yi took several deep breaths in quick succession, but her voice gradually became softer, and her bright eyes slowly dimmed, to the point where she could not even complete her sentences.

Saint Yi sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at Saint Night with a serious yet somewhat vague expression, "If Xiao Xi did not lose her school badge and she gave it to me, what would you do?"

In a daze, I seem to have caught a faint whiff of rose fragrance, and my mind, which was previously clouded, gradually becomes clearer... Ah, I remember! The swimming competition! My swimming ring suddenly deflated, and even I, the great hero, felt that my life was in danger. At that moment, Saint Yi jumped down to save me but soon became exhausted, and then it was Saint Ye who rescued Saint Yi!

I seem to have caught a whiff of the fragrance of roses once again... I do not know whether it is reality or a dream, nor do I know how much time has passed... Just as I had exhausted the last ounce of my strength, my limbs no longer under my control, and my whole being plummeting downwards, a strong yet slightly trembling voice exploded in my mind...

Various shouts came from the shore, and almost all the students in the school were cheering me on. I instinctively turned my head to find the figure of Shengye, and in an instant, my confidence soared. I swung my arms even harder back and forth, desperately paddling forward!

I raised my head in disbelief, only to see Holy Night standing at the entrance, leaning on a cane, with his injured left foot bent, waving at me... The footsteps I heard just now... were actually his!

Ah, I have finished watching, how frustrating! It is all coffee houses and theater performances... there is not a hint of originality at all, how can we possibly win in the cultural festival competition like this!

When I clearly saw the face of that figure, my gaze suddenly froze, my heart tightened sharply, and my mind, which had just calmed down a bit, became incredibly chaotic once again

... ...

What ... ? ... What is going on? ! ... Christmas Eve ... ? ... What is he doing on Christmas Eve? !

Sheng Ye was taken aback, surprised as he looked at Sheng Yi. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but it seemed he suddenly remembered something, forcing the words that had risen to his throat back down into his stomach.

Suddenly, the gasps from the stands intertwined into a chorus above the swimming pool.

... ...

As Sheng Yi finished speaking, his body suddenly collapsed. I rushed to hold him tightly, and in an instant, my entire body felt icy cold.

It is not good, that girl's swimming ring seems to be deflated

If it were not for this, the president of the student council would not have been hospitalized on Christmas Eve

Then why did you come back to save me

Student Saint Yi is currently in the small garden behind the auditorium, everyone hurry to find them

I slowly turned my head to look at Holy Night, but there was a hint of embarrassment in Holy Night's gaze, and he quickly turned his face away.

Huh? Compete... compete?

Indeed, the president of the Holy Night just helped Saint Yi ashore and immediately turned around to rescue the boss

Awakened from the panic I had just experienced by the reminder from Saint Yi, I opened my palm that had just held the school badge, only to find it completely empty

Huff! Huff! ... I don't know why my breathing has become rapid ... ? ... Isn't this a good thing! ? Everything should have been like this ... ! The Holy Night saved Saint Yi, clearly there is not a single problem ... ...

Yilinxi

On the holy night ... he ... first saved Saint Yi ...

Little Saint, don't come over, do not come over! I... I...

All contestants, please enter the competition venue through the entrance passage as soon as possible Please enter the competition venue through the entrance passage as soon as possible

Sheng Ye was taken aback, as if he did not understand what Shao Nian Gong Yi was saying, staring wide-eyed at him. I also widened my eyes, looking at Sheng Ye and Sheng Yi in astonishment

Idiot pig. Are you a horse? You can actually fall asleep while standing!

No, Yilinxi, you cannot be soft-hearted at this moment! I cannot casually say a few irresponsible words to Shengyi and brush him off; Shengye is an important friend of mine

Alas ...! ... It is truly unbearable! I wish I could launch countless pieces of "X" tape like the Three-Eyed Boy in the game, sealing the mouths of these individuals completely

What, did we lose?! In an instant, I felt as if I had been struck by lightning, my heart seemed to be suddenly pricked by a needle, and it convulsed violently! Every bone in my body creaked as if afflicted by arthritis

Hiss—hiss—hiss—

Xiao Xi! Just as I had walked into the competition corridor, a deep voice sounded in my ear

They moved out, and the entire ward suddenly fell silent; no one spoke, and the atmosphere became somewhat strange...

The starting gun for the relay swimming final fired, and the "first leg" swimmers from the five competing teams jumped into the water with a splash. The swimming arena immediately erupted with a roar that nearly shook the ceiling!

Bang

Although I did not see the eyes of the Holy Night, I could feel that his eyes were deeply gazing at me. Suddenly, her voice rang in my ear, "Yilinxi, turn your head and look at me"

It turns out he still cares about me! ... Although I am deeply moved in my heart, almost to the point of tears, my lips involuntarily curl upwards ... upwards ...

As soon as the first runner reached the shore, the second runner immediately jumped into the water

Holy Night! Holy Night! Little Saint! Little Saint, he... Wuwuwuwu! Wawawawawa!

Xiao Xi ... ... '' Upon hearing my shout, Sheng Yi's footsteps gradually slowed down, and the expression on his face became somewhat bewildered and lost. However, suddenly, his gaze fixed, and the footsteps that had just slowed down quickened again.

Get away! I will go out first!

Hoo, is she some kind of clairvoyant? How does she know that this great hero is capable of everything—except swimming! After all this fuss, I was confident I could secure first place in the relay swim, but now my hopes have dwindled! Oh, I never expected this sports meet to be so challenging; it's even harder than rock climbing! Are we going to lose?! Bah, bah, bah! Yi Linxi, are you a crow or something? Never mind, this time, this great hero will give it my all!

Little Xi ... ... Brother ... ... '' Saint Yi blinked her eyes with difficulty, offering a reassuring smile to both me and Saint Ye, '' Don't worry ... ... I'm fine, just a bit tired ... ... No need to go to the hospital ... ... ''

Holy Night! Indeed, it is Holy Night! When I saw that familiar face, my heart instantly brightened! I saw him tense his face, his brows furrowed deeply, as he rushed over with all his might, suddenly supporting both me and Little Saint—at that moment, Holy Night's gaze seemed to envelop me and Little Saint like a sturdy net.

My eyes darted around to assess the situation, and gripping the school badge tightly in my hand, I dashed towards the back door of the auditorium with a swift "whoosh"!

Thump—thump—thump—thump—

Huff, puff, huff, puff

I looked down and was immediately stunned—what was originally the position of the valve on the swimming ring had turned into a large hole! At this moment, waves of water were eagerly rushing into the swimming ring...
