The Second Volume Chapter Six: The Red Apricot Comes Out of the Wall

  That sudden cry was actually Huo Yang's. It turned out that this kid had been crouching outside the window, secretly watching Xiang Yue, but couldn't bear to break the tranquility. As a result, his legs were numb from standing still for so long. He had planned to quietly change positions, but his head accidentally bumped against the window frame, and he immediately cried out in pain.

  At this moment, he saw that the little beauty was startled and scattered her things all over the floor. The villain was immediately anxious and rushed in hastily.

  Qing Chi! ? Xinyue was somewhat excited, but turned around and looked, couldn't help but feel some disappointment, it was actually Huoyang.

  The two of them fell silent, squatting down to hastily gather up the letters. Huo Yang had thought Xiang Yue was reading a book, but unexpectedly scattered all over the floor were those flowery green... love letters!

  "Here, take it!" Finally all picked up, Huoyang handed the letter in his hand to those injured small hands, but saw Xiangyue had already blushed, even those two delicate little ears turned bright red, transparent all over, so cute!

  "Ah, thank you!" Xiang Yue took the letter and swiftly stuffed it into her desk drawer, then changed the subject in a nonchalant tone: "Huoyang, what brings you here? Anything going on?" To appear even calmer, Xiang Yue habitually punched Huoyang's shoulder, which was their usual greeting.

  It's just... The little beauty seems to have forgotten something...

  Huoyang's fist still hadn't arrived...

  She raised her beautiful eyes slightly, sneaking a peek, and saw Huoyang with a happy face, like a spring breeze, his eyes bursting with red hearts: Does she know me? Oh my god, Xia Xinyue actually knows me! Why did he touch me? (Please, it seemed like a punch...) Is it a hint? Is it a confession? Oh my god, oh my god! It's too sudden! What should I do? What should I do?! However, that one touch felt so comfortable, soft and gentle... Ah...

  The little beauty finally found the key to the problem! Oh my god, how careless I am! The current Huo doesn't even recognize me anymore!

  "Haha, haha ~, sorry about that. I just saw a mosquito on your shoulder and tried to swat it away, unfortunately missed it. Hope I didn't hurt you."

  "Oh, I see... It's alright, don't mind it." Huo Yang replied with a dejected expression, his voice weak and listless.

  "Right, Huoyang, aren't you in the same class as Yin Qingchi? Where is he?" Finally, the key question was asked...

  "Ah!? Good heavens, didn't he tell you? He's going to play basketball this afternoon, but he came back."

  "What!?" Xīn Yuè exclaimed, suddenly feeling a surge of anger and suffocation in her chest, as if she had been toyed with.

  "Hey, Xia Xinyue, why don't I go with you to the gym? We can find Qingchi there."

  Xīn Yuè pursed her small mouth tightly, as if she had made a big decision, and said softly: "No need, thank you! I...I'm going home."

  Looking at the pitiful eyes of the little beauty in front of him, Huo Yang's heart was shattered, and his anger surged even more. Tian Sha's Qing Chi, I'll definitely give you a lesson another day!

  Xīn yuè ān ān jìng jìng de shōu zhuāng zhe shū bāo, xīn li hǎo wěi qu, zì jǐ gū dú de děng le bàn tiān, dé dào de què shì zhè ge jié guǒ... Hǎo guò fēn! Bù lái zǎo diǎn shuō ā, zhè jiù xiàng bǎ rén pěng qǐlái rán hòu nà huàn huàn de dǎ zài dì shàng yí yàng, bù guǎn shì shuí yě huì shòu bù liǎo ba.

  "Xia Xinyue, I'll send you home, your hand..." Huo Yang lowered his head, looking like he wanted to say something but stopped.

  Xīn Yuè felt a bit embarrassed, thought for a moment and refused him, "Thank you, Huǒ Yáng, I'm fine, my home is very close."

  He rubbed the back of his head and mustered up the courage to say, "T-then... can I see you off tomorrow?"

  "Ah?" Xīnyuè was somewhat stunned, and she looked up at Huǒyáng. He gazed at her intently, his eyes shining brightly. The sunset cast a golden glow on his face.

  Fire halo, fire halo, fiery red sun... Hehe, it really does look a bit like that!

  Shanghai Oriental Sports Center

  74: 76, Shengao trailed by 2 points with 5 seconds left in the game.

  Qing Chi got the ball. At this moment, he was sweating profusely and panting heavily, involuntarily lamenting that his body wasn't strong enough. Why was Feng Gao's basketball team so formidable? Relying on his own skills, which were not inferior to those of college students, he couldn't lead Sheng Gao to easily win the game. What should he do now? Should he score two points and go into overtime or take a gamble and shoot a three-pointer to decide the outcome?

  According to Qingchi's character, he naturally chose the latter.

  4 seconds...

  Hesitation gave way to two teammates coming to his aid, and in Qingchi's heart, the entire arena fell silent, with only his heavy breathing and irregular heartbeat audible.

  3 seconds...

  Beautiful back-to-back crossovers, add a behind-the-back dribble, shake off one defender, and Qing Pool is already standing outside the three-point line.

  2 seconds...

  Sigh... sigh...

  Fake jump, hey, that idiot really jumped with me. Qingchi seized the time difference, suddenly jumped up, ammunition replenished, turret angle in place, FIRE! (Launch)

  Great! Feeling wonderful, everything is going smoothly, we will definitely win!

  One second...

  A black figure suddenly jumped up, completely blocking the clear pool in the dark. That was Feng Gao's middle iron pillar, who was said to be able to jump vertically over one meter. "Pa", a light sound, although not a cover shot, but the fingertips touched the basketball.

  Everyone present, spectators, players, referees, and even the cheerleaders held their breath.

  "Clang!" The ball hit the rim and bounced off.

  The game is over!

  Fenghuang High 76:74 defeated Shengao High.

  Yunxi Street.

  Xīn yuè yōu yōu de zǒu zhe, qíng xù dī luò dào gǔ dǐ.

  Translation:

  Walking quietly and slowly, her emotions had sunk to the bottom of the valley.

  In the blur, a figure like Qingchi seemed to appear in front of me, thin and tall, like an electric pole!

  That guy... He's actually smiling triumphantly!

  The small fist clenched tightly and angrily smashed towards that familiar face!

  Ah!!!!!!!

  Ouch ouch ouch!!!!!

  Heaven... Sky...

  It was actually an electric pole!?!

  The electric pole is hard, the fist is soft, the soft hits the hard, so...

  It's really too much! At least half of the injuries he suffered were thanks to him! He doesn't know how to repay kindness, and he doesn't know how to cherish and appreciate a good thing.

  Pity Xiang and cherish Jade? The little beauty's forehead was beading with sweat the size of beans, how could she have such a strange idea?

  Let me think about it some more...

  I didn't ask him to treat me to dinner, who cares!

  But... it's really unbearable when someone cancels plans that were clearly made earlier!

  How hateful!

  The little beauty thought and thought, feeling more and more indignant, when another illusion appeared before her eyes. Qing Chi crouched with his body half-squatting, grinning mischievously as he made a face at himself, looking just like...

  Forget it! The little beauty couldn't care less about her demeanor and kicked out with one foot.

  "Oh no!" The little beauty cried out in pain and sat down on the ground, hugging her small foot and moaning incessantly.

  That's right... It's actually a trash can...

  "Xia Xinyue, are you okay?" A soft female voice came from behind.

  Turning her head, it was surprisingly Yongji, how did she end up here?

  "What's wrong with you, kicking the trash can for no reason? Let me take a look." Yīng Jī said as she squatted down and naturally reached out to remove Huàn Yuè's shoes.

  The latter was shocked and retreated conditionally, her small face slightly red, she bowed her head and said in a low voice: "That, Yuki, the people next to us are watching us."

  Yong Ji turned her head back, and the gentle face returned to its usual cold expression. "What are you looking at? Mind your own business!"

  Those people on the road who widened their eyes immediately turned away, whistling and reluctantly walked away.

  Yongji looked at Xinyue with a pleased expression, her small face turning pink and radiant, making Xinyue feel both close to her and amused.

  Yōng jī hǎo piào liàng a! Yǒu gè dà měi nǚ zhào gù zì jǐ de gǎn jué zhēn hǎo!

  Translation:

  Song Ji is so beautiful! It feels great to have a big beauty taking care of oneself!

  Xin Yue covered her mouth and smiled secretly, feeling a sense of pride in her heart.

  Wait!...

  Does this count as a breach of faith? Does it count as betrayal? Would Qing Chi be unhappy if she knew? Xiang Yue bit her finger and fell into deep thought, but soon denied her own idea. No! Yong Ji is a girl, and so am I... at least for now, so... it doesn't count!

  She had already taken off her shoes and socks, revealing her small feet with skin as white as ice and snow. Her delicate blood vessels were faintly visible, and her five little toes were curled up mischievously. The translucent "windows" at the tips of her fingers sparkled like crystals, shining brightly with a hint of pink.

  "Wow, Xīnyuè's skin is so beautiful!" Yōngjī held the small foot in one hand and gently massaged the ankle with the other. "It seems to be twisted, does it hurt?"

  "Hmm, a little," the young beauty had already blushed and asked in a tiny voice: "Uh... Yuki, thank you! But... but my feet... won't they smell really bad?"

  "No way!"

  Oh my god! Yōji actually touched her nose to her toes and smelled... I'm going crazy!

  "It smells so good! How can it be stinky! Haha, I didn't expect Xiang Yue to love cleanliness so much, she even sprayed perfume on her feet!"

  "Ah, perfume?" Xiang Yue was astonished, "I've never sprayed perfume before..."

  "Wow, so it's body fragrance?" Yuki exclaimed, and then leaned in closer to sniff again.

  It's so embarrassing, but I'm actually enjoying it immensely. Hehe, is there really such a thing as body fragrance? How come I didn't know about it before?

  "Your feet might not be able to walk for a while, I'll carry you home, and it's Saturday tomorrow, so you can rest well at home." Xiangji didn't say another word, she had already leaned against Xianyue, stretched out her arms, waiting for her to get on.

  "Ah, like this... isn't it bad?" The man and woman didn't touch, Xiang Yue subconsciously shifted back a bit.

  "It's okay! We're all girls anyway, don't worry, I'm very strong, I can carry you!" Yōng Jī replied confidently.

  After some hesitation, Xiangyue obediently leaned against Yongji's back.

  The afterglow has long since disappeared, and on the pitch-black sky, the bright moon is like a plate, with dense stars twinkling, harmonious and serene.

  On the street, a stunningly beautiful girl leaned on another girl's back, unknowingly drawing the attention of passersby.

  Long hair fluttering, eyes tightly closed, under the skirt hem, a white and tender small leg is exposed, and further down, it's that bare little foot, so white and delicate. It seems to have gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, like a piece of exquisite jade, perfect and flawless, adding one more part would make it too plump, subtracting one more part would make it too thin, making people breathe rapidly and imagine wildly...

  That's just one foot...

  What if it's not just one foot?

  Hehe~ Haha~~

  。。。。。。

  Take a closer look, and there's obvious redness and swelling on the ankle, must be sprained? The little beauty is biting her teeth tightly now, with her eyes closed tight, it must hurt a lot. That pitiful appearance makes others feel uncomfortable too.

  Yongji walked happily, without feeling the weight of the person on her back at all. Hehe, was she made of feathers? Yongji thought with a smile.

  This scene seems familiar, only the identities are reversed, and yet that feeling is so familiar, as if Xiang Yue was the one from back then.

  Everything from childhood has become blurred, memories of that smiling face, that voice, those sturdy arms are also fragmented, but that heartbreaking love and vow will be unforgettable forever.

  She once thought she had found him, but became uncertain again. However, not long ago, Yongji suddenly discovered that familiar feeling appeared on Xinyue's body.

  Could it be that the one who saved her on the snowy field many years ago was actually a girl?

  All right, just take a look at the back to see if there are any scars! If not, borrow Grandpa's mysterious copper mirror and use it. Maybe everything will be clear!

  In short, I will never give up until I achieve my goal!

  Shanghai Oriental Sports Center

  The vast venue was brightly lit, but only one person remained, Qing Chi.

  "Bang!" The basketball bounced out again.

  Qingchi sighed, this is the fifteenth or sixteenth time in a row that he didn't advance?

  He really overestimated himself! I guess at that time, he wasn't capped and definitely couldn't get the ball in. Maybe without me, the basketball team would be even stronger. Qing Chi shrugged his shoulders and smiled self-deprecatingly.

  "It's really infuriating, losing a game like that and then blaming others? How pathetic!" A cold, icy female voice rang out.

  Qingchi turned his head and found that it was a tall and slender girl, almost 1.75 meters tall, Qingchi thought to himself.

  Porcelain complexion, crimson lips, bright eyes and white teeth, a small red mouth with a beauty mole, showing more charm. The girl wore a ponytail, a explosive and spicy sporty outfit, tight-fitting short-sleeved shirt, cowboy seven-minute pants, outlining her stunning figure.

  Good heavens, compared with her, my former self (Xinyue) was like a fledgling bird that had yet to grow its wings.

  Suddenly, the beautiful iceberg girl picked up the basketball on the ground, and her posture was as if she wanted to...

  Good heavens... She's standing more than 2 meters beyond the three-point line... Alas, a beauty is just a beauty, big breasts but no brains, long hair but little insight.

  Qingchi waited to see a joke, but saw the girl make a standard men's shooting motion and shot.

  The basketball drew a perfect flight trajectory and "swished" into the net.

  Qingchi was shocked and stared blankly, unable to help but ask: "My name is Yin Qingchi, may I ask the young lady's name?"

  "Ice, lotus, fragrance." The girl said lightly.

  What? This name... I seem to have heard it somewhere before. Ah! The number one beauty in the school, Bing Hanxiang from class 4 of grade 3!
