Chapter XVII
" Hehe, that's why I said that it's really effective. Don't you think so, Ying?"
"Humph!" Ying smiled and nodded.
"Meatball divination…" He gently stroked the meatball in his hand (Meatball referred to Ying's cat and the other referred to the cat's limbs).
Meatball was lying on its back in You's arms, sleeping peacefully. From time to time, You would leisurely push out its claws.
"Hah!" Ying suddenly stood up and turned around, her back facing the two of them.
"About the origin of meatball divination…It can be traced back to when the first master of this Sayiki Shrine took care of an injured lost cat…"
"Forget about that." Ying Zheng was seriously telling the story, but Liang Ping suddenly interrupted.
Ying Yi turned her head and puffed up her face in dissatisfaction. It wasn't easy for me to think of it!”
" What Liang Ping said makes sense. There's nothing to divine about these things." You pinched the meatball and said gloomily.
"Meow ~~" The meatball in his hand suddenly meowed.
"Oh! The meatball cried out! Meow!" Ying excitedly came over and counted Meatball's claws.
"Hmm ~ The second finger ball ~ The hand root ball ~ The fourth finger ball ~ The divination result is…"
You and Liangping looked at each other and listened to her quietly.
"The result of the divination is that this is the best opportunity to confess my feelings to the person I've liked for a long time!”Ying pointed her finger at Yu
"Oh! Really? You, you're so awesome! You're lucky in love!" Liang Ping excitedly put his hands on You's shoulders, then hugged him and whispered into his ear,
"Take this opportunity to quickly confess to Nao!”(whispered)
You frowned, put down his hand, and stood up." How can divination come true? I'll leave first."
After You finished speaking, he lowered his head and slowly walked down the mountain. The two of them quietly looked at his back.
"Sigh! That guy…"So cold," Liang Ping said disdainfully with his hands on his hips.
" Well, You Jun also has her own difficulties, right?" Ying said with an uncertain tone.
"I understand that the two of you want to matchmake the two of them, but this method is too rash, and it might cause side effects ~" One Leaf quietly walked out from the left side of the two of them.
" One Leaf is right. The two of you are too rash. Anyone would feel uncomfortable if you used such a method to force others." Cang crossed his arms as he quietly walked out from the right side of the two.
"You two have been here all this time?" Liang Ping said awkwardly,
" Yeah, I thought you guys had already noticed." Cang crossed his arms and turned his head to look at him with a smile.
" Sigh…I thought it would definitely work this time…" Ryohira also crossed his arms and sighed.
"Yes, yes! He clearly got the best draw."Ying also folded her arms and sighed.
One Leaf covered his face and was speechless towards the two of them. Cang quietly watched them and then looked towards the distant sky.
"Damn ~ I really can't stand it! "If that's the case, we'll have to use force," Liang Ping said disdainfully.
" What stupid idea did you come up with again?" Cang turned to look at him with one hand on his waist.
"Hehe, this time it will definitely work!”Liang Ping revealed a wretched smile and gave Cang a thumbs up.
" Hey, you…" Cang covered his face and was speechless.
...............
" Then I'll leave first!!"
"Ying! Wait a minute! "In that case, I'll also…" Ying ran out of the classroom with her bag on her back. Just as she ran down the stairs, One Leaf chased after her and stood at the door of the classroom, shouting,
"It's okay! Small One, wait until I'm even busier before you come and help!”Ying stood at the top of the stairs and poked her head out.
"But…"
"It's okay ~ Although it's quite interesting to see Small One stuck between the mothers-in-law and the others! But forget it!" Ying ran downstairs after saying that.
"How rude ~ I'm not out of place or anything," One Leaf said helplessly.
" Who knows?" At this moment, two voices came from behind One Leaf. She turned around and saw Lone and Cang. Cang was leaning against the door frame, while Lone was standing at the door and smiling at her.
"Seriously, why are the two of you...!”
"Humph!" Cang couldn't help but laugh.
" Hahahaha!" Yu laughed out loud.
the other side.
Ying quickly ran out of the school gate and stopped running. She leaned against the wall and panted tiredly. Before she could recover, she ran out again.
In the afternoon…
(Violin music)
(Beautiful melody)~~~~
(Finally slowly stopping)~~~~~~~
The sun was about to set, and the people in the school were almost gone. You and Cang stayed
Cang leaned against the door frame of the music classroom, quietly listening to a leaf playing the viola in the classroom
Sitting quietly below, they listened to her play. When they saw her expression when she played the viola, they knew that something was wrong.
One Leaf gradually stopped and finally put down his viola, looking at the two of them gloomily.
"I'm sorry…" One Leaf apologized softly, then put the viola back into its packaging.
"It's hard, right?" You smiled and cheered.
" Because the viola is a special instrument to me," One Leaf said quietly.
"Uh, sigh ~ I think I have to work hard too so that I can bear the burden of life in the future. But before that, I have to try my best to be a friend who inspires you to continue working hard…" You scratched her head in embarrassment.
"It's not like that."
"Eh?"
"Although the viola is my most important instrument, it's also the instrument I hate the most..."
" Yes." Cang, who was leaning against the door frame, turned his head and stared at her sharply. He realized that something was wrong. You also looked at her worriedly.
"Only in front of Ying, from the moment I first learned to play the viola... She always "
"Then, what you just said... "It's all related to your father, right?" In the blink of an eye, the three of them had already walked out of the school and were walking on the road where One Leaf came to find Cang last time.
Cang walked to the side and asked One Leaf quietly.
After One Leaf heard this, he silently lowered his head and pondered.
Cang's gaze turned to You, presumably You had also realized it.
silence
"Hey!" At this moment, a shout suddenly came from behind them. The three of them turned around and saw Baxun running over in a panic.
"Did you see Ying?!”Baxun hurriedly stood in front of the three of them and asked,
(Ying is missing? Why? Where will she go?
" Oh, if it's a Heavenly Eye, didn't she go back first?" she replied calmly.
Baxun's tired hands held onto the railing as he panted,"Ha ~ ha ~ I just ~ heard ~ Grandpa Yaomu ~ tell me ~"
" Slow down, you slow down first." Cang gently patted her back to help her relax.
"Ha ~ ha ~ ha ~ hu ~" Baxun took a deep breath and calmed down.
"Just now, Grandpa Zhimu said to me,'We clearly have an appointment today, but I waited and waited, but I just couldn't wait for anyone to come.'"
"Eh? Could she have gone somewhere else first?”You asked doubtfully.
" You, Ying wouldn't be so bored as to do such a thing. She wouldn't break her promise," Cang said before Baxun.
Eight Search glanced at Cang and coughed twice. That guy won't go back on his word. You should know this very well!”Roaring at You,
One Leaf's pupils constricted when he heard that and he immediately ran out." Hey! Zhu!" You also chased after him.
Cang and Hexagram were left behind. Cang looked at Hexagram, who was holding onto the railing with his head lowered and deep in thought.
" Let me help you walk." Cang reached out his hand and was about to put it on her shoulder. However, she hit him and Cang shrank back.
Eight Seeker looked at him with a sharp gaze." If you have time to care about me, why don't you hurry up and help me find Ying!”
Cang looked at the back view of You and One Leaf running far away, then looked at Eight Seeker, then ran out and gradually ran far away.
................
"Yes!" Cang opened the back door of the shrine and saw Ying lying on the ground.
"Ying! What's wrong with you?" He quickly squatted down and shook her. Ying slowly narrowed her eyes. Cang immediately touched her forehead.
" It's so hot. She has a fever." Her forehead was very hot, and her face was very red. However, it was not a shy blush, but a blush of a fever.
(Hmm? I've been exposed to this temperature before. A light flashed in Cang's mind, but the scene was very blurry and he couldn't remember.
"Cang…Lord Cang…"
"Ying!" Baxun ran in hurriedly and hugged her.
"Ah…Everyone... What happened?" The unconscious Ying said quietly,
You also rushed in. Are you alright?" One Leaf suddenly stopped at the door, his hand covering his mouth. His hand was trembling non-stop as he looked at Ying in surprise and retreated step by step.
Cang noticed that something was wrong with One Leaf. Just as One Leaf was about to run out, Cang pulled him back.
"Calm down. If you run out now, what will happen to Ying?”Cang calmly looked into her eyes.
One Leaf turned her head to look at him, tears flowing out of her eyes.
night
After making arrangements with Ichiha's family, the four of them stayed at the shrine to take care of Ying. Ichiha sat quietly beside Ying, looking at her face that was red from the fever.
Ying was lying on the bed with a wet towel on her forehead.
Yu walked in and stood beside her." Let her rest for a night first, then we'll see how it goes."
One Leaf's hands kept trembling as he lowered his head." Same."
Quietly looking at her
"I always think about what happened at the concert and forget about Ying.!.”
Cang leaned against the door and looked into her eyes. He felt extremely inferior and angry, but now…He couldn't do anything. He could only watch quietly from the side.
Cang looked at Ba Xun, who had her head lowered, just like him.
Cang lowered his head and slowly took out his phone to call Qiong. He walked to the center of the shrine and placed his phone by his ear.
“........”
“........”
"Hello, Qiong, it's me. We might have to come back late today. Something happened here."
..............
" I'm sure there's something wrong. Otherwise, Ying wouldn't be like this," Ichiha said with a low self-esteem.
You could only watch quietly from the side, unable to do anything.
At this moment, You's phone rang. She opened it and saw that it was a call from Liangping. He was afraid of disturbing Ying's rest, so he went to the door to call her.
"Hello, it's me."
"You! Are you free tomorrow?"
"Eh? uh... There was indeed…However, he looked at Ying in the room.
"Alright then! If you have time, come to the school pool tomorrow."
"Does it have to be tomorrow? Tomorrow is Sunday, right?"
"Yes, I plan to give you special swimming training. It's too pitiful that you can't swim, so I'm giving you special training!”
"What's wrong? Why is it so sudden?"
"Gather at the school swimming pool at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon!! " You must come!" She suddenly shouted like an instructor over the phone, then she returned to her original natural tone and hung up.
"Eh? Hello? Liangping?" She tried to stop him, but he had already hung up.
" Hey, what's that guy doing?" He put his phone in his pocket and turned to Ying, who was resting on the floor. He quietly looked at Ichiha and Ying.
On the other side…
"Anyway, that's it. Just wait patiently for us to come back. After we're done here, we'll go home, okay?”
"I can't wait. I'm hungry."
"I can understand that you're hungry, but I really don't have time now. If you're hungry, there's still some leftovers in the pot. Can you heat it up and eat it alive?"
“.............”
"Forget it, I'm not eating anymore. I'm going to sleep."
"This... Cough cough, alright, don't starve yourself. We'll be back at 10 o'clock, you go to sleep first."
“..........”
(The phone hung up)
Qiong put down his phone and lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling.
"What? What do you mean by going home after you're done? Do you think I'm a child?"
Qiong rolled over and curled up, hugging Rabbit tightly. He closed his eyes tightly and a tear flowed out from the corner of his eye.
"Cang!"
...............
Sunday was supposed to be a day of rest, but You still came to the school pool as promised.
The water in the pool reflected his shadow. He looked around in his swimming trunks but saw no one.
" Sigh…" She raised her head and looked at the water surface. She noticed that there was movement on the surface of the pool.
There was a figure swimming in the water. He couldn't help but squat down to take a closer look.
His figure suddenly emerged from the water! "Pfft!"
"Hmm? Nao?"
"Hmm? Xiao You?"
...............
The sun was shining fiercely on the ground, and Yuu and Nao were sitting on chairs by the pool to enjoy the cool.
"Nao is…Did Liangping call you out?"
" Yes, he said he wanted me to teach him butterfly stroke, so he would treat me to a popsicle." Nao nodded lightly.
" Hehe, we really fell for his trick." You couldn't help but raise her head and sigh.
Nao nodded in agreement.
" Is Ying-chan alright?" Nao lowered her head and asked worriedly.
" She's still running a fever. Cang said that she's overworked and didn't rest well," he replied quietly.
" I hope Little Ying can get better soon." Nao sighed.
“............”
"Xiaoyou?" Nao saw that Yu was not speaking and called out to him,
Yuu stood up, turned her head to Nao, smiled and said,"Can you teach me the butterfly stroke?"
Before Nao could react, Yoo pulled her over and ran beside the pool.
"Sigh! Xiaoyou? You can't run around the swimming pool!”
Nao, who was being pulled anxiously, couldn't help but smile happily.
Just like that, half an hour passed. During this time, Nao had been teaching Yuu how to swim, starting from the basics of freestyle. She held Yuu's hand and let him swim freely on the surface of the water. At the same time, she looked at Yuu's face." Slap the water harder. Keep your hands straight."
"Ha ~ ha ~ ha ~" He patted the water's edge with his feet and panted hard.
" Yes, that's right. Continue."
.................
"Phew, that's enough. It's time to go back."
" Yeah, that's true." It was already noon. The two of them thought that they were almost done practicing, so they planned to go back.
The two of them entered their respective locker rooms and closed the doors.
Nao's perspective.
"Ha ~" After I closed the door, I leaned against the door and took a deep breath. I recalled the wonderful times I spent with Xiaoyou in the past and the leisurely and happy times I had with him now.
(Movement!)
"Eh?" I turned around and heard movement behind me. I was a little scared. or is
There were only lockers and a few cardboard boxes in the locker room. The opening of the cardboard box trembled from time to time as if there was something inside.
I swallowed a mouthful of water and looked at the opening of the cardboard box. It seemed that something was about to come out, which made me very afraid.
(Puff!!) The cardboard box suddenly exploded! A black shadow jumped out of the cardboard box! My pupils constricted and I could not help but cry out
On the other side…
Yuuki was wiping her hair with a dry towel when she suddenly heard Nao's shout. She immediately threw the towel away and ran out to open the door of the women's locker room.
"Nao!" As soon as she opened the door, she was stunned. Nao was fine. She squatted on the ground with her back to You. When she saw You open the door, she turned around and looked at him.
"Nao?"
" I'm sorry." Nao smiled at You. Only then did You see the black cat in front of Nao.
Sitting in front of Nao obediently
"Meow ~~"
"Cat?" He walked over to Nao and bent down to look at the cat.
" Yeah, it probably came from there." Nao pointed at the open window and looked at each other.
"Humph humph humph hahaha", the two of them laughed happily after all
Knock, knock, knock. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. The two of them were stunned for a moment. They looked at the door and heard a sound coming from outside.
"Hey! Who's inside!"
" I'm opening the door." The locker room door opened and a middle-aged man walked in with a bucket.
The uncle looked around and saw no one inside. He thought about it and then walked in.
But there's still no one
(Movement!) He turned around and walked to the place where the sound came from
"Oh, so it's you."
"Meow ~~" The black cat jumped onto the window and looked at the uncle.
"Sigh, really!"
The black cat jumped out of the window and ran out. The uncle closed the window and walked out to close the door.
(Movement)(Movement)(Movement)
"Pfft!" Yuu and Nao emerged from the cardboard box and breathed in the fresh air.
"Oh?"
"What's wrong?" Naxo looked at You in confusion.
" Actually, I just need to go out through the door on the other side of the swimming pool." Yu pointed to the door leading to the swimming pool.
" Ahaha!" Nao laughed softly.
" Or Xiaoyou, you can hide here alone." Nao looked at the narrow cardboard box.
The two looked at each other.
"Humph! Hahahaha!" The two of them laughed happily again.
" Hahahahaha " You had already released herself and laughed out loud.
" Hahahahaha!" Nao held back her laughter in pain.
At this moment, the cardboard box suddenly split open due to You Xiao being too wide and narrow! This caused the entire box to flip over and fall down. At the same time, Nao was unable to stabilize her body and fell down as well.
(Puff! Pow!
"Yes!"
"Ah!"
Boom!
(Silence.)
Yuu slowly opened her eyes and saw two soft balls stuck to his body. Nao was pressed against him, and she slowly opened her eyes as well.
The two of them looked at each other.
Nao's pupils constricted as a painful memory flashed through her mind.
"Do you want to touch it? I want to touch it. Right? Phew ~"
"Yes!" Nao immediately took a few steps back and leaned against the cardboard box, looking at Yuu in pain.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoyou."
You smiled and sat up. It was me just now."
"No!" Nao turned her head.
"I'm actually apologizing to you for what happened that day."
As soon as I heard it, I recalled what Nao had said that day.
"That day, my parents 'relationship had always been bad. The family had always been filled with quarrels. I lived in pain every day, and I vented all the depression in my heart on Xiao You, but... "I can't just find anyone," Nao quietly said her feelings at the time.
He still smiled after listening,"I don't mind."
"Eh?" Nao stared blankly at You.
" Although I was very confused the first time and couldn't speak," Yuu said to Nao with a smile.
He stood up, bent down, and stretched out his hand."But we can start over here..." From today onwards…From now on…"
" Xiao You " Nao blushed slightly and smiled. She slowly reached out to hold his hand and stood up.
The two of them looked into each other's eyes, their eyes filled with love and possessiveness (Sorry, I've never been in love before! It's not romantic!)
Slowly, he caressed her face. Then, their faces slowly approached each other. Then, their lips pressed together, hugging each other's bodies and kissing passionately.
............
"Hmm?" Cang, who was eating lunch, suddenly froze.
" What's wrong with you?" Qiong, who was sitting opposite him, asked calmly.
" Oh, no, it's nothing." Cang continued to pick up his chopsticks and eat.
Qiong looked at his strange reaction and continued eating.
Cang Bian ate quietly while looking at Qiong from time to time, looking at her beautiful face and hair.
Qiong noticed his cold gaze and looked at him." What's wrong?"
"Ah, no, I'm just looking at you carefully. You're really good-looking.”Scratching his face, he said embarrassedly,
Qiong looked at him calmly, but her face was not honest. She slowly turned red and turned her head.
"How boring. You idiot!"
"If I praise you, I'll get scolded."
“...........”
The two of them didn't say anything and continued to eat.
Cang lowered his head and thought as he ate.
(Recently, I have a strange feeling that something will happen soon, but what is it? How should I face it?
(Shaking head ~)(Shaking head ~)(No, no, this should be my illusion, but if it's true)
Cang quietly looked at Qiong.
(This premonition might have something to do with the Sky, but who am I?)）
