"It seems to be..." Catherine could only see the top of the other party's head, only Chris, and there were no other people wearing Griffith's school uniform around him. Did Chris come alone
Soon, Catherine's energy returned to the game. Ivy played again. After he and his opponent got acquainted with each other, the game was a bit stalemate, and then ended the round with a sword advantage. This made Mark even more nervous.
Lin Yifei put his arms around his shoulders in a funny way, "You just have to do your best. Think about it, none of us could participate in the team competition last year, but this year our entire men's saber team participated in the competition. How memorable it is."
Mark took a breath, "Thanks."
What is surprising is that Mark suddenly became brave this round and only lost to the opponent with a sword. In this way, they still have a three-point advantage of 26 to 22. Lin Yifei swung his shoulders and went on stage. Hayes' coach whispered a lot of words into the big man's ear, I believe he was told not to be impulsive like the last round. Sure enough, the big man was much more difficult this round than at the beginning, and Lin Yifei was more cautious. He knew that the big man had always been impatient, how long could he last with such composure? Lin Yifei took the initiative to attack, and the speed and strength made the big man overwhelmed. Sure enough, this guy lost his patience and tried to suppress Lin Yifei, but Lin Yifei found a gap and scored two points in a row.
This point annoyed the big man, and his subsequent slashing carried a lot of personal emotion. When Lin Yifei made another strike from him and retreated, that guy actually came up in two or three steps and slashed towards Lin Yifei's arm. With so much strength, Lin Yifei almost sat down on the ground.
There were sighs in the audience, and the referee also showed him a yellow card warning. Perhaps this made the big man calm down, and he performed very well afterwards, taking two swords from Lin Yifei. However, the level gap between Lin Yifei and him was relatively obvious. When the three minutes ended, the score between the two schools became 32 to 27. This gap of five swords was a heavy burden for Hayes Middle School. As a prestigious school, they certainly don't want to lose the first round of the team competition to an unknown public middle school that doesn't even have a coach. Ivey only drew with his opponent in the third round, the score was 36 to 31, and the gap was still five swords.
"Ah... ah... Mark, you have to be strong, don't output all 5 swords..." Catherine clasped her hands together and prayed in a low voice.
Perhaps it was because in the last round, Mark's nervousness completely surpassed that of the previous two rounds. His limbs were a little stiff, and some judgments also appeared errors. Naturally, he couldn't avoid losing points. Fortunately, in the last minute, this state eased, and he won back two points. A five-point advantage left three points when Mark finished, not too bad actually, 40 to 37
Lin Yifei let out a sigh of relief, what he wants now is to score 5 points before the opponent, as long as 5 points, the team competition is over.
"I'm sorry, I didn't gain any advantage for you." Mark sat back with his head down.
"Don't worry." Lin Yifei stood up, put on the mask in an orderly manner, and watched his leaving back, Mark suddenly felt that the person in front of him was confident and dazzling.
Every sword of Lin Yifei made the opponent tremble, and he did not give up any small chances. In the three-minute match, Catherine counted the big man and only gave Lin Yifei three threatening attacks, and was suppressed by Lin Yifei for the rest of the time. There is no room for turning around. Both Mark and Philip wanted to whistle that kind of carefree feeling.
The game score was locked at 45 to 39, and Washington No. 3 Middle School upset and eliminated the famous school Hayes, which made Mark and Philip almost cry with joy.
Mark said that he would invite everyone to eat pizza, but Catherine said with a smile: "The points are basically lost by you, of course you have to invite everyone to eat pizza!" This made Mark feel embarrassed.
Walking to the gate, Lin Yifei was bumped hard, Catherine wanted to hold him back but was a step too late. Just as Lin Yifei stretched out his foot to go down the stairs, he was bumped by that guy and fell down. Although there were only three steps, he still staggered to the ground.
If Chris was present, Lin Yifei wondered if he would tell him with a smile, "This is the modern usage of '五体投地' in Chinese".
The big man stood not far away, looking at Lin Yifei's embarrassed look with contemptuous eyes, "What's the matter, can't you even walk the road?"
"Hey! Why are you so low-level!" Catherine angrily stepped forward to beat her up, but was stopped by Chen Manman.
Lin Yifei's right hand was scratched when he was supporting the ground, and when he was about to get up, his ankle felt painful and sprained.
"How are you?" Mark and Philip quickly helped Lin Yifei to the side, unfastened his sneakers, and sure enough his ankle was swollen.
"What are you doing!" Catherine felt more and more that she really shouldn't let that bastard go, so she got up, and before she could get up to that guy, she saw a young man striding up to the big man, and suddenly punched him fiercely. The ground hit him on the face, the boy's movements were very large, and even the sports jacket swung wildly.
The big man sat down on the ground with a crash, opened his eyes wide, covered his nose and looked at the stern boy in front of him, nosebleeds flowed from his fingers.
"Ah... ah... you hit me..."
"And then?" The boy was Chris, he raised his head slightly, and looked at the big man like garbage, "I will kill you next week."
Catherine really wanted to applaud him for his domineering appearance.
But Lin Yifei was stunned, he never thought that Chris would appear, let alone that he would beat up that big man.
Chris walked up to Lin Yifei and squatted down with his back against him. Lin Yifei was still in a daze, but Catherine woke up first, put Lin Yifei's arm on Chris's shoulder, and then Chris carried Lin Yifei on his back.
"I'll take him to the hospital."
"Oh, good." Catherine nodded, and Chen Manman and Mark were stopped by Catherine when they were about to follow, "What are you going to do? Chris has a car at home, and the car can't drive if you all squeeze in." .”
"But..." Chen Manman was still a little worried.
"Come on!" Catherine just felt that Lin Yifei finally had a chance to reconcile with Chris, and she didn't want other people to disturb the situation, so that the two of them could not talk.
Chris was carrying Lin Yifei on his back, which made Lin Yifei suddenly not know where to put his hands, and Chris' silence made the atmosphere between the two even more awkward. In front of him was the back of Chris's head, and there was still a faint smell of shampoo in his hair.
"Why don't you let me down, I should be able to walk by myself."
"Let Mr. Brown show it to you, and then I'll have George take you home." Dr. Brown was the family doctor of the Ozburn family.
"Actually, it's just a sprain, so don't bother..."
"Do you still want to continue your sports career? Or do you not want to participate in the team competition next week?" Chris's voice became cold, and Lin Yifei had no choice but to shut up.
Walking to the parking lot, George saw Chris carrying Lin Yifei on his back, and opened the door on his own initiative.
"Go home first." Chris said as he helped Lin Yifei into the car.
The car drove out of the parking lot, Lin Yifei pursed his lips and looked out the window, the dull pain in his ankle was not as good as the cautious feeling that Chris brought to him.
After getting off the car, Chris planned to recite Lin Yifei again, but Lin Yifei insisted that he could walk.
In the living room, Lin Yifei was sitting on the sofa. Mr. Brown checked his ankle, with an optimistic expression on his face, "It's not serious. Don't do any exercise these days, and don't massage casually. Use ice compresses to eliminate it." Just swell."
Elizabeth, who heard Chris coming back, ran down from her room excitedly, but saw Lin Yifei.
"Why is he here..." Elizabeth noticed that Chris was sitting next to him, and there was still a nervous look between her brows.
"It's really just a slight sprain, and it won't affect future fencing practice?" Chris asked.
"I'm sure." Mr. Brown shook his head amusedly, "You have to trust my diagnosis."
At this point, George had come over with ice wrapped in a towel.
Chris bent down, lifted Lin Yifei's leg, placed it across his thigh, took the towel from George, and carefully placed it on Lin Yifei's ankle.
"Hiss..." Lin Yifei frowned.
"Be patient, wait until the swelling subsides." Chris lowered his brows, and his gentle demeanor made Elizabeth not far away envious.
She didn't understand whether she was a girl or his cousin, why Chris never showed such an expression to herself, as if something in his hand would break if touched.
While Lin Yifei sat by the sofa, George prepared some snacks and put them on the coffee table.
"Did you give up the singles competition to avoid me?" After a long silence, Lin Yifei almost forgot the time, and Chris suddenly spoke.
"..." Heart skipped a beat, Lin Yifei quickly waved his hands, "No, of course not! It's just that with Ai Wei joining us we finally have a saber team, so I put all my energy on the team competition."
Chris leaned his head slowly towards Lin Yifei, "If you avoid confronting me because I confessed my love to you, I will press you on the locker in the locker room and kiss you."
Although there was no expression on his face but full of momentum, Lin Yifei was stunned, almost sweating on his back.
Chris didn't say anything more, but when Lin Yifei's ankle got better, he slowly lowered his leg.
"Eat something if you're hungry, and George will take you home." After speaking, Chris went upstairs to his room.
Leaning against the door, Chris raised his head and sighed, his breath was pulled long and thin, and he reached out to hold his heart, which still seemed to be in pain. It took him so much to resist the urge to kiss him.
"That idiot!"
Elizabeth stood there looking at Lin Yifei, "Hey! When did you know Chris!"
Lin Yifei had long been used to Elizabeth's arrogance, so he just took the snacks on the table and ate slowly, "He hasn't come to Oz's house before."
"Oh..." Elizabeth counted the time in her head, "It's been a long time, and I'm still wondering how Chris has a friend like you!"
It means that Lin Yifei's family background is not rich, and it is impossible for him to study in a famous school like Griffith.
