I like you

  The big tree growing on the shore bends its waist, gazing at the flowing water with a gentle gaze. A gust of wind passes by, and the leaves fall gently onto the water's surface, like a small boat drifting away with the current, lost in thought, almost entranced, with a blank mind.

  "Yi yi!"

  A cry made Yiyi turn back.

  "Sheng You, what brings you here?"

  "I've just finished handling the case, and what about you? It's class time now, don't tell me you're skipping school to welcome me."

  "You're beautiful, I was unfortunately killed in a PK match with an old witch."

  "It's a fitting metaphor, it's like this kind of PK match happens every day, and it seems like you lose every time."

  "That's what I told her, she just didn't memorize the English well, no need to scold people!"

  "Ah, someone like me who is superior can't possibly understand your current anger."

  "Alas, Sheng You, you've been handling cases all day, won't your grades be affected?"

  "It can be said that it fell from the sky."

  "That makes me feel at ease."

  "The worst was third in the whole school, and that kid Hirano Toshinao always took the top spot!"

  "What?! I've been burning the midnight oil and I still only scored 800!"

  "Hey, there are only 1000 students in total, you're really too bad."

  "Ah, this is fate!"

  "Did everything go well last night?"

  "Ah, this is something that Hirano-senpai gave me."

  Yiyi pointed at the hair clip on her head.

  "So, didn't you give him anything?"

  "Got my ears pierced!"

  "Even if a young working girl like Qiu Ju can afford some nice earrings, he definitely won't wear them, it's too embarrassing."

  "Don't look down on others, at critical moments, they can save you..."

  "What?!"

  "I mean, Hirano-senpai even had me put it on him personally."

  The saint's eyes rolled once, and the plan was on his mind.

  "If you go apologize to the old witch now, I'll take you to watch Ping Jun's basketball game this afternoon, it's gonna be awesome!"

  "Alright, I agree!"

  Yi Yi disappeared from Sheng You's line of sight.

  "What a good scam." Sheng You muttered to himself from behind.

  "Ding ding"

  As soon as the bell rang, regardless of whether the teacher had finished speaking or not, everyone rushed out in a hurry. Some were talking, others were fighting, leaving the teacher with no choice but to storm off in anger.

  He turned back and asked Yiy, who had been holding in ten million whys for a whole class.

  "Why did the chivalrous woman turn back into a shore?"

  "Because I'm going to watch Hirano-senpai's basketball game this afternoon."

  "Have you obtained permission from the school?"

  "Sheng You said take me there."

  "Yiyi, you've been getting quite close to Prince Shengyou lately."

  "Don't get me wrong, we're just ordinary friends!"

  "Calm down, I can listen to your explanation. The Imperial Guards don't think that way, they want to put you on the blacklist of their number one deadly enemy."

  "Tell the Imperial Guards to let their hair down and chase after him, in my heart there is only one person, Hirano-senpai!"

  After finishing speaking, Yiyi stormed off, and He shouted from behind: "Where are you going?"

  "I'm going to jump into the river!"

  "You'd still be guilty even if you jumped into a river and drowned!"

  The wind blows in gusts, causing the leaves to rustle and whirl around in the tree clusters, swirling the leaves on the forest path.

  Yiyi and Shengyou were hurrying towards the gymnasium.

  It's okay, the two of them had just sat down when the whistle sounded and the game officially started. This was a championship match between their school and another school, and it started off extremely fiercely.

  "Good!"

  Only the sound of dunking, cheers and applause filled the air.

  Hirano Toshiya scores another goal!

  Yi Yi saw the earring on Hirano Takeru's left ear and was delighted, not stopping to show off to Sheng You. Sheng You happily said: "Looks like you two have a chance."

  Yi Yi had yet to reveal her smile when a black aura burst into the gymnasium, causing everyone to faint, leaving only Sheng You, Yi Yi and Hirano Toshi.

  The three of them gathered together, unaware of what had happened, only Yiyi knew that the demon had visited again.

  The diffuse black air instantly turned into dozens of black ghost monsters, rushing towards them.

  "Hey Ping Nian, I told you to learn martial arts with me, now look at you, suffering a loss!"

  "Hirano-senpai doesn't know martial arts?"

  "Hirano, by now you should believe me. It seems they're after me again, you'd better leave now while you still can."

  "We won't leave, we want to stay!" Yiyi and Hirano replied together.

  "Yi Yi, what makes you think you can handle them? They won't go easy on you. Besides, do you even know martial arts?"

  Yiyiyang strongly looked at Sheng You with a glance: "You watch me!"

  She got up, turned sideways and fell among them, and started fighting with the monsters.

  "I didn't know Qing Shui was so amazing?!" Ping Nian began to admire Yiyi. Meanwhile, Sheng You beside her quietly watched her punch and palm, which were executed with precision, and couldn't help but see the shadow of a pink Holy Guardian in her pupils.

  The black demons that had been knocked down by Yiyi all turned into black smoke before they could even be appreciated.

  Yi Yi clapped her hands and said to Sheng You Xiao with a proud smile: "How's that? Impressive, right?"

  "What's wrong with you, you're far worse than me."

  "Qīngshuǐ tóngxué zhēn de hǎo lìhài!"

  Translation: "Qingshui classmate is really amazing!"

  "Thanks for the compliment, Hirano-senpai! When it comes to dealing with monsters, I won't show any mercy."

  "Well said!" A man in blue clothes with white long hair descended from the sky before them.

  Yi Yi saw that he was emitting a strong aura of evil spirits from his body, so she walked to the front of the two and began to interrogate the man: "Who are you?"

  "Lan'er didn't tell you, did she? I am Yu."

  "Rain?! The Four Dark Kings."

  "What's wrong, why haven't you transformed yet to deal with me?"

  "What rain or fire, you're coming for me, aren't you!" Sheng You suddenly spoke up, not scaring Yiyi to death.

  "Narita Kiyoharu, the guardian you've been searching for is..."

  "Rain!" Yi Yi hastily interrupted their conversation, afraid that Sheng You would discover her true identity.

  "Someone has taken away your moonstone, what are you being so arrogant about?"

  She lowered her head and took a look, the bracelet on her wrist had disappeared. She bit her lip hard.

  "Cheng Tian Sheng You, she won't be showing up today, let's see who can still protect you!"

  The sound of rain had just fallen, and with a wave of his hand, water was summoned, slowly forming a water pillar, followed by the sentence: "It's time to end!" The water pillar suddenly attacked Sheng You...

  Pounce

  A burst of blood mist instantly dyed the sky red, also dyeing the holy Yōu and the pupils of the flat plain.

  "Yi yi!"

  They helped Yiyi up together, who was seriously injured. She looked at Sheng You with difficulty and saw the golden blue eyes shining brightly, she smiled slightly.

  "Are you stupid?"

  "Sheng You, she really won't be coming, don't wait anymore, let's go."

  "No, I won't leave you!"

  The two of them stared at each other, as if competing to see who could outlast the other and become the ultimate champion.

  "It's finally over, and yet it's still so sentimental. It really moves people!"

  The rain is going to start attacking again. But...

  Hirano Toshi stood up, glaring at the ruthless madman. The expression on his face had never been seen before in human history. He was no longer the gentle and refined Hirano-senpai, but a sun god filled with rage.

  The rain had just overlooked this little guy, thinking he was just an ordinary human being. But unexpectedly, his body was emitting power everywhere, and this power made the rain feel terrible.

  Sheng You seemed to have also sensed a different him.

  "I won't let you hurt Yiy!"

  A loud and powerful voice pierced the heart of every person present, thus igniting the Moonlight Gem and reawakening the dormant magic.

  Hirano Toshi's left ear stud emitted a massive white light that was dazzling and made it impossible to open one's eyes.

  "Moonlight, grant me power, let Jun complete his mission, transform!"

  At this moment, a white tornado formed by light swirled around him. His short and refreshing black hair grew longer and turned silver-white, his handsome basketball uniform transformed into a gentleman's white combat suit, under the silver-white bangs, diamond-like eyes instantly turned golden pupils, the moonlight gem on his ears still shone brightly.

  "God of Snow, White Sacred Protection!"

  "Hirano-senpai, you've become even more handsome after your transformation." Ii-chan, despite being heavily injured, still couldn't help but admire the handsome guy. Meanwhile, Seiyuu beside her was shocked first.

  "So you're the third Guardian Saint, I really underestimated you."

  Hirano Toshi looked at his changed body and didn't know what to do.

  And Yu saw his predicament and thought: He can transform but doesn't know how to use magic, what a useless shell.

  Then, the rain turned into sharp swords and prepared to attack him.

  Yi Yi looked out at the situation and used all her strength to shout: "Hirano-senpai, use the Moonlight Jewel to transform into a silver fan!"

  "But how can we make use of it?"

  Yu revealed a sly smile, knowing his enemy was thrown into confusion. He then swung his sword towards Pingyuan and chopped him down.

  However, when the sword was halfway through its swing, it couldn't be swung any further.

  Bright red blood flowed down his arm.

  "Holy Void!"

  Originally, at the critical moment, Sheng You blocked Ping Ye's sword with his arm in front of him.

  Sweat also flowed down with it.

  "Hirano, how's it? I saved you again."

  "Silver fan of moonlight, grant me power!"

  Hirano held up a silver fan in his hand and opened it to deflect the rain's sharp sword, then punched the rain out of several meters away. Then he disappeared.

  "Seiyū." Hirano Toshi rushed to support Seiyū who was about to fall.

  "Sheng You, why did you rush up here so recklessly?"

  "Learning from Yiyi's silly spirit."

  "You still have the energy to joke around, what if your arm really got cut off?"

  "I'm not playing basketball, what's the use of having two hands?"

  "It's all right, it's over."

  "No, it won't end." Yiyi struggled to get up and walked between them.

  "Ii, are you alright?" Hirano supported Ii with his other hand.

  "It's okay, Hirano-senpai. The rain will definitely not give up, it will come back again. But only the three Holy Guardians can fight him evenly, so, Hirano-senpai, you need to use the Moonlight Gem to contact the Blue Holy Guardian and ask for her help."

  "Then why not invite Pink Guardian as well?" Saint You asked with intention.

  "When 'because...' Yīyī didn't know how to answer, Hirano's question saved her: 'How can we get in touch?'"

  "Whispering her name in his heart."

  Hirano closed his eyes and silently recited a phrase in his heart, and a blue light descended from the sky.

  Lan'er landed beside Yiy.

  "What's going on, Yiyi? How could your bracelet be lost?"

  "Lan Er, absolutely unexpected."

  "This time it's going to be dangerous, isn't it? The frog at the bottom of the well has run into a formidable opponent!"

  "Hello, I am the White Guardian." Hirano quickly used a greeting to help Yiyi out of the situation. Lan'er looked him up and down, nodded slightly, and unintentionally saw Shengyou's injured arm.

  "Master, you're hurt!" Lan'er gently lifted Sheng You's arm, intending to use her own magic to heal him, but just then, Yu appeared before them once again.

  "Yi Yi, take care of the Holy Master."

  Lan Er and Hirano Toshiyuki stand on the same front line.

  "Only four Sacred Guardians can defeat me, and yet you've only brought half that number. How arrogant."

  "Yes, you're the god of snow. All ice gods are your arch-nemesis in rain."

  "Hmph, then give it a try!"

  Lan Er and Ping Ye nodded at each other.

  "Snow is coming, snow water splashing everywhere!"

  "Come forth, Ice! Freeze and petrify!"

  The snowflakes were like sharp swords, breaking through the rain's boundary.

  "Remember this!" Yu Jian saw the situation was unfavorable, threw down a ruthless remark, and instantly escaped.

  "That's great, it's finally over!"

  In the home of Yiyi.

  First floor. Lan Er is bandaging Sheng You's wound while telling him about the incident with the Holy Guardian.

  "So, in my previous life I was the Jiu You Sheng Zhu, and now you have come to protect me, I am the Holy Master."

  "Well, you could say that."

  "So, your true form is a white cat and Hirano is a student. Then, who is the real identity of the Pink Guardian?"

  "Huh?!" Blue thought, Yiyi didn't let me tell Shengzhu her identity, if I said it, she might not be happy.

  "Lan Er, why aren't you speaking?"

  "At present, the Guardians are scattered and nobody knows each other's identities, so I don't know."

  "Oh, I see." A hint of disappointment flickered in Sheng You's eyes.

  Second floor. Yiyi lay on the bed in a daze, Hirano Toshi sat beside her watching her.

  "Yi Yi, from now on I'll be calling you this, are you willing or not?"

  “………”

  "Yiyi, today's events are so mysterious, I inexplicably became the White Holy Guardian and have to protect that little guy Shengyou at all times."

  “……”

  "I know, you are the Pink Guardian Angel, the guardian goddess of Sheng You. You don't want Sheng You to know your identity, and there must be a reason for that. The earrings were given by you, and your bracelet is missing, I will help you find it."

  “……”

  "I don't know what's wrong with me, but I suddenly feel grateful to Sheng You for introducing us. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have known that there are girls like you in this world. Now I do, and not only do I like basketball, but I think I might also like you."

  “……”

  Hirano picked up Yiyi's small hand and placed it on his face, his mouth corners involuntarily curling up.

  The residual glow of dusk shines into this house full of love, even more poetic and picturesque.
