Catherine did her part, half-sat on the table, raised her head and shrugged her shoulders, posing in Monroe's sexy pose. Although she didn't match her age, she was surprisingly cute. Everyone laughed, and Mark waved his hand, "Okay, Monroe stands by. Lin, it's your turn!"
Lin Yifei scratched his head, "I can't pose as Marilyn Monroe..."
"Then let's take a photo with Chris, you two handsome guys are so eye-catching together!" Catherine suggested while biting a hamburger.
Lin Yifei looked at Chris, and only then remembered that he hadn't taken a photo with him yet.
"Okay!" Lin Yifei leaned towards Chris. Chris has been sitting there very gracefully, causing Lin Yifei to feel that it would be strange if he hooked up with him.
Just as Mark was posing for the preparation, Chris stretched out his hand, gently clasped Lin Yifei's fingers, and slowly inserted into his fingers. Lin Yifei turned his head to the side in surprise to look at the young man beside him, the expression on the other side remained the same, but there was a little more softness between his brows and eyes than usual. Almost at the moment when Lin Yifei turned his head, Mark pressed the shutter.
"Hey, Mark! Why did you just press it? I'm not ready yet!" Lin Yifei reached for the camera, but Mark dodged triumphantly.
"How natural is my photo! It's better than the one where your smiling face is frozen!"
"I don't care, I took a picture!" Lin Yifei chased Mark around the table, how embarrassed he was to let him take a picture of himself looking at Chris.
In the end, Lin Yifei couldn't hold back, so Mark had to take another photo of Lin Yifei and Chris. It was a picture of Lin Yifei standing behind Chris and supporting each other's shoulders.
After eating McDonald's, everyone went home.
As soon as Lin Yifei and Chen Manman arrived at the station, the black Mercedes of Ozben's family stopped in front of them. Chris rolled up the rear window, "Would you like to come to my house today, we can practice fencing together."
The suggestion of "practicing fencing together" made Lin Yifei's eyes light up.
"Okay!" Lin Yifei had just agreed before thinking of Chen Manman beside him. If he left Manman and Chris and left, Mother Lin would definitely scold him like a stinker. And Manman also stood there as if a little at a loss.
"Well," Lin Yifei walked to the car window, "Can you take Manman with you? She is too lonely to go home alone."
Chris nodded and pushed the door open.
Lin Yifei happily squeezed in, and waved to Manman again. So the three of them sat in the back row, and Lin Yifei sat in the middle. Chris bent down slightly, and put on the seat belt for Lin Yifei in a very gentlemanly manner, while Lin Yifei could only put on the seat belt for Manman in a funny way. Maybe it was because he had just had his fill at noon, and within five minutes of driving, Lin Yifei started to feel sleepy.
At first, he just lowered his head to fish, but as the car turned, Lin Yifei had to lean on Chen Manman's body. And Chris just put his arms around his neck, when the car turned the corner and everything was smooth, Lin Yifei's head had already landed on Chris's shoulder.
Chen Manman looked over, Chris's expression was always calm, but it gave people an illusion that his shoulders only belonged to Lin Yifei.
The Osborne family's villa is not too far from the downtown area of Washington, but the area it occupies is not ambiguous. The car first drove through a tree-lined field, and the automatically controlled carved iron door in front slowly opened.
The villa in front of her, which looked like a simplified version of the palace, made Chen Manman's eyes widen. The car stopped at the main entrance.
Chris lowered his head and unbuckled Lin Yifei's seat belt, then patted his face lightly, "Yifei, we're here."
"Hmm..." Lin Yifei murmured and slowly opened his eyes, looked out of the window and sighed openly, "Wow... Chris, when did you live in the palace? Now you really become a prince, haha! "
Chris had already got out of the car first, and the butler George opened the door.
"Good afternoon, master." George was polite, but Chris treated him like air.
Lin Yifei pulled Chen Manman and followed him in. When he passed by George, he couldn't help but take a second look.
The luxury in the villa made Chen Manman look up all the time, but Lin Yifei had seen it before he was reborn, so he seemed much calmer. Mr. Osborne has always been a person of taste, the decoration of the whole villa is elegant but not luxurious, and some exquisite statues are also placed in just the right place. There are several modern oil paintings hanging on the walls, which also match the style of the whole villa very well. The exquisite crystal chandelier above the head adds momentum to the whole villa.
"Take you to the fencing room." Chris turned his head, looked at Lin Yifei holding Chen Manman, his eyebrows raised unconsciously, although Lin Yifei didn't see it, but Chen Manman noticed it. She just let go of Lin Yifei and put her hands behind her back, as if she had done something wrong.
"What's wrong, Manman?" Lin Yifei looked over strangely.
"No...it's nothing. Brother Yifei, you don't have to drag me, and you don't have to worry about getting lost here."
"That's it." Lin Yifei nodded, but Chris directly grabbed his wrist and pulled him to go underground.
When the door was pushed open, Lin Yifei couldn't help being amazed. The floor of the 20 to 30 square meter room in front of me is very flat, and in the center is a metal track that meets the international competition standards, and even the triangle marks and preparation lines are clearly drawn. On the other side of the room hung armor and swords. To have prepared such a professional venue in the villa, it seems that Mr. Osborne spent a lot of money on Chris.
Chris went straight to the place where the protective gear was placed, took one off and handed it to Lin Yifei, "This set should suit you."
"Thank you!" Lin Yifei touched the protective gear, and it felt very good.
Chris's fingertips caressed the tip of the sword, and the whole momentum changed.
Lin Yifei was also eager to try. After putting on the mask, he stood outside the preparation line and saluted Chris, "It's been a long time since we've played against each other, let's see how your level is!"
And Chris also stood opposite him and saluted neatly, just like his usual style, sharp but graceful.
Lin Yifei looked at Manman who was standing on the sidelines, "Hey, you give us two timers! Three minutes per round."
"En!" Manman nodded vigorously. Fortunately, Lin Yifei found something for him to do, otherwise she would be very embarrassed if she just stood there in a daze.
With Manman's "start", Chris stabbed Lin Yifei with his sword first. It was a small sliding step, and the speed with which the sword rushed out made Lin Yifei's heart skip a beat. He was forced to retreat again and again, and when he was close to the bottom line, he stabilized his pace and suppressed Chris's sword. The moment he fought back, he was resolved by the opponent, and soon his shoulder was cut.
"One point." Chris took a step back, leaving some room for Lin Yifei.
This sword also made Lin Yifei wake up instantly. Chris is no longer the little boy who was corrected by himself by the ditch. He has received systematic training and experienced many games. More importantly, he has matured a lot and has a calmer judgment than before.
"Don't get complacent too early." Lin Yifei put on a posture, and suddenly rushed over fiercely. The footwork of his feet was different in length, but he kept a certain rhythm. Chris kept resisting, and Lin Yifei struck between the gap between the two swords. The son stabbed the opponent in the chest.
"One point." Lin Yifei's voice was a bit smug, and he was the one who taught Chris the footwork in the first place.
The games that followed were even more exciting. In the beginning, it was Lin Yifei who led Chris. As Chris gradually adapted to the opponent's flexibility, he kept moving the score back from Lin Yifei. Even Manman, who was clocking at the side, would stare blankly when something happened.
The door was slowly opened, and Mr. Osborne looked outside the door at the two confronting teenagers.
Chris's coach once told Mr. Ozborne that Chris is very talented, and with his current technical level, he has few opponents among his peers. But at this moment, Lin Yifei was attacking without hesitation, defending firmly, defusing Chris's attack step by step, and stabbing straight at Chris' throat. At that moment, Mr. Osborne was tense, and Chris turned his head to dodge it. Just when the audience breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Yifei pressed down on Chris as he had expected, and counterattacked in a circle. his right shoulder.
"Score!" Lin Yifei jumped on the spot, with a hint of joy in his voice.
Chris flicked the sword in his hand, moved his wrist joint, "Come again."
"What? Come again!" Lin Yifei's voice was very long, with a bit of childishness, "Stop it! How many rounds have we already competed?"
"21 rounds. I won 13 rounds." Chris got ready.
"I can't do it anymore, I'm tired." Lin Yifei took off his mask, his hair was wet with sweat on his forehead, looking a bit humorous.
"You were much better than me before." Chris walked in front of Lin Yifei and watched him slump on the ground.
"That was before, now I'm old." Lin Yifei fell down and lay there, as if he would not get up from death.
That's right, I am stronger than Chris in terms of experience and flexibility, but many times even if I can predict Chris's sword body, I can't react. In the past, Lin Yifei felt that he could take advantage of his pre-rebirth experience as if he had installed a cheat, but as he grew older, this advantage became less obvious, especially when facing Chris.
"You're too lazy, Yifei." Chris also took off his mask, sat next to Lin Yifei, and looked down at Lin Yifei's lazy appearance.
"Fun is the first priority." Lin Yifei turned over on his side, the appearance of his tired bones falling apart was very cute.
Chris lowered his head, tracing the shape of Lin Yifei's eyebrows and eyes.
