But Elizabeth is also a young lady after all, so it must be embarrassing to be said by Chris, "Lin didn't even say it was dangerous, what do you have to worry about?"
Chris took a slight step forward, his eyes almost piercing Elizabeth, "What if he falls? What are you going to do? Or do you want to see him fall?"
"Of course not!" Elizabeth knew that Chris was angry, but with so many friends looking at her, she couldn't back down, "Is there any boy who can't slide down the stairs?"
"I won't." Chris said.
"Forget it, it's really not safe to slide down the stairs, or you can do another thing." As a senior student, Andrew hurried out to smooth things over.
"No." When Elizabeth became stubborn, she was hopeless.
"Then listen to me, first, Yifei will become a fencer in the future, so you must not do any dangerous things, including sliding stairs. Second, this is the Ozben family, I am the owner of this place, I said You can't do what you can't do. Do you understand?" Chris raised his eyebrows, and the whole birthday party was quiet. In fact, everyone felt that sliding down the stairs was a little dangerous when they calmed down, so there was no need to insist on it, it was just Elizabeth's saving face.
On the contrary, Manman looked at the situation in front of her and felt that she had caused the quarrel with guilt, "It's just sliding down the stairs, I'll do it, I don't need Yifei to follow me."
After finishing speaking, she was about to go upstairs, Lin Yifei quickly grabbed her, "How can you slip?"
Elizabeth still looked at Chris without speaking.
"George, help me send Yifei and his friends back." Chris looked at George who was standing at the stairs on the second floor.
"Master, it's only nine o'clock in the evening."
"I said send them back." Chris walked up to the second floor, glanced at George, and then went back to his room.
George had no choice but to walk in front of Lin Yifei and say, "Lin, I'm sorry that I have to send you and Miss Manman home early."
Lin Yifei glanced at Elizabeth, who was about to cry, and nodded.
The car drove out of the Ozben family's mansion, Lin Yifei subconsciously turned around, but saw a figure leaning on the balcony on the second floor watching them leave.
Elizabeth pursed her lips and cried, and a group of people hurriedly comforted her. So a birthday party broke up.
"I feel like I'm sorry for Liz." Manman whispered while sitting in the car.
"Forget it, maybe Liz won't be angry in two days."
George, who was driving the car, comforted them instead, "Actually, these are none of your business. Miss Elizabeth is just jealous that the young master cares about Lin Duo more than his cousin. But we all know that the young master just insists on doing the right thing That's it. Sliding stairs is dangerous, not to mention Lin has a semi-final with Griffith Academy on Sunday."
As for Sunday's saber team semi-final, Washington No. 3 Middle School played against Griffith, the audience was much larger than Lin Yifei imagined. When the opponent revealed their lineup, Lin Yifei was really stunned, because besides Andrew, there was also Chris. This also made that fellow Mark look desperate.
"If it's just Andrew, Lin can barely handle him, but if Chris is also on board, we're going to hell."
Lin Yifei's surprise was based on what he knew about Chris, that guy was not suitable for group combat. Although Chris was always listed as a candidate for Griffith's team competition, he never competed. Maybe the semi-finals are approaching, and Griffith's coach also hopes to have the absolute certainty of winning.
Mark represents the first sword. He was completely defeated by Chris, and the process was quite miserable. Catherine in the auditorium almost hugged her head.
Ivy's second sword, Griffith's average level is good, Ivy can't shorten the difference between the two schools, and Lin Yifei can't do anything other than try his best when he comes on the court. Andrew's aura was much stronger than when they practiced together the night before yesterday. He is very calm, no matter how Lin Yifei disturbs the rhythm or makes a sudden attack, he can perfectly deal with it. At the end of their round, Lin Yifei only won him by one sword, but the previous loss was serious, so Lin Yifei and the others were not optimistic about winning. This situation continued until the end, and it was the first time that Lin Yifei felt that he had worked so hard. When the game ended, Washington No. 3 Middle School lost to Griffith by four points.
"It's okay, you can still fight for the second place." Andrew comforted them while shaking hands.
"Thanks."
And Mark stretched out his hand to Chris, "Hey, I'm completely under your strength, if you don't participate in the team competition, maybe we still have a chance."
Chris didn't speak, but shook hands with Mark anyway.
Andrew blinked at Lin Yifei: "Did you know, it was Chris who asked to play this time."
"Ah? Really?" Lin Yifei looked at Chris, who was arranging his protective gear.
"And he still wants my position. It seems that he really wants to fight with you." Andrew turned around with a smile, "But unfortunately, the coach insisted on giving me the position of the last sword. But Lin, you are really strong , with infinite possibilities.”
After the competition, Lin Yifei went to eat pizza with all the members of the fencing club. Catherine feels very sorry, if public middle schools can invest more funds in fencing, maybe their fencing clubs can have a better development. Now in the entire men's saber team, only Ai Wei and Lin Yifei can take the shot. .
"Don't worry about the result so much!" Lin Yifei held up the Coke, "To our Saber team - we only lost to Griffith Four Swords!"
"Yes, to our saber team!" Ivy also raised his glass.
"Ah, being infected by you, I want a women's saber team!" Catherine laughed, and the depression just now was wiped away.
And in the subsequent competitions, as Catherine said, due to the uneven level, Washington No. 3 Middle School only won the third place in the end and missed the national finals.
In the national finals, Griffith performed quite well. Although Chris hadn't played, he won the runner-up of Saber. In the individual competition, Chris won the championship. Although he has not yet reached the third grade, many high schools have extended olive branches to him. Catherine also complained, "Lin, if you go to the singles competition, maybe you can be so beautiful!"
Seeing Chris standing on the podium, even when a female official from the American Federation of Swords presented the award to him, he still looked arrogant.
Catherine came to Lin Yifei with a bunch of flowers in her arms, and bumped into him: "Hey, Chris is your good friend anyway. Well, I don't know if you are still good friends now, at least you should be friends Go ahead and congratulate him with a bouquet of flowers!"
Lin Yifei looked at the bouquet of blooming lilies, and suddenly laughed, "It's strange to send flowers to him."
"What's so strange? Where? Could it be a kiss?" Catherine forcefully put the flower into Lin Yifei's hand, "Hurry up!"
Lin Yifei was hugging the flowers, he knew that if he didn't give them away, Catherine would not let him go, and he chose to send flowers instead of kisses. On the way to the locker room, Lin Yifei deliberately slowed down, thinking tricks in his head and asking him "Hey, do you miss me when I'm not in the singles competition?" Before he reached the door of the locker room, he saw Chris walking out with his sports bag on his back.
"Well, congratulations on winning the championship!" Lin Yifei shouted towards his back.
Chris turned to look at him, with a faint smile on his lips, adding a bit of charm, "If you participated in the individual saber competition, I deserve more congratulations for winning this championship."
"No matter what, the champion is the champion." Lin Yifei stepped forward, stuffed the bouquet of flowers into Chris' hands, and made a big smile, "Hey, let's go to McDonald's to celebrate."
That's right! That's how it should be! Think about how refreshing they were eating French fries and burgers and drinking Coke together!
Chris chuckled, looked down and saw the card in the bouquet: To Catherine.
In an instant, all the smiles disappeared, and then his brows were tightly wrinkled, and he pushed Lin Yifei away, turned and left.
"Hey! What's wrong with you guy!"
Lin Yifei watched him put the bouquet of flowers on top of the trash can, as if he was about to throw it down.
"Chris, you took the wrong medicine!"
Want to throw away the flowers I gave you
The bastard! I want to hack you to death!
But Chris's hand froze for a moment, but he took it back, and then calmly walked towards the parking lot without showing any emotion.
After half a minute, Lin Yifei's mood gradually calmed down, but he still felt hurt. Gritting his teeth, Lin Yifei stepped forward.
At that moment, he saw two guys in masks and baseball caps tangling with Chris, George's head was hit by something, and he was lying on the ground unconscious.
Chris struggles, one guy holds him down, the other puts a handkerchief over Chris's nose, it looks like ether.
Just as Lin Yifei was about to rush forward, the struggling Chris saw him, waved his arms to signal him not to come, and left immediately.
But how is he going to leave
