Half an hour later.

Because he has always been strong, he has a face that is attractive enough. As a result, Arthur's football match on behalf of the college caught the attention of almost the whole school from the very beginning. In less than half an hour, the small stadium was full of people from all over Oxford, and the boys and girls watched the ball, which added a rare touch of vitality to Oxford, a place full of old medieval academic atmosphere.

The race is about to begin.

After a few more light warm-ups, the young lads walked onto the pitch one by one, led by Arthur. As a supernumerary who came to cheer on, Gwen went to the audience to find her friend after agreeing with everyone, while Merlin occupied the most favorable terrain on the side of the field to watch, and pulled West with his hand, and the two of them just nested in the shadows near the goal, paying attention to every movement in the stadium.

"Do you look like a group of knights who are about to go on an expedition?"

Sitting quietly on his knees, the boy gently bumped his companion's shoulder, his smile warm as if the sun was gathering between his brows.

As far as he could see, he saw a group of immature monkeys jumping up and down. West twitched the corners of his mouth suspiciously and agreed, "...... Resemble. ”

He wasn't a compliment against his will. After all, when I was in Camelot, whenever I had to go on an expedition or go hunting routinely, this group of round tables was not this kind of virtue, noisy and noisy, and it was not bad at all.

And if you really want to talk about it, in fact, the mage next to him is the quietest among them.

flattened his mouth, and involuntarily glanced at the people around him, but found that the other party was also peeking at him. West and Merlin were stunned for a moment, then coughed awkwardly and looked away like a thief.

- Why is he looking at me like this? Don't you know if it's a damn flirtation?

Almost at the same time, he roared in his heart, and the two of them, who remembered everything but thought that the other party had forgotten everything, sat side by side on the grass, and said nothing for a while. For Merlin, it's actually no different from when he was Colin, just a new acquaintance with a different vest. As for West, he naturally didn't know that the archmage was so bad, and he couldn't see the slightest problem after living for a thousand years, not to mention that he had personally erased Merlin's memory at that time, even if he returned to Camelot's era, the mage would no longer have half an impression of him, let alone now.

And—

With a flick of the stud earrings, everyone in the stadium was enveloped in the range of telepathy. West's eyes narrowed slightly, he could easily trace the thoughts and memories of anyone except Merlin in this area under his absolute control.

He couldn't even catch his brain waves.

It's a little frustrating. Curled up his legs quietly, trying to focus his gaze on the court and not on the face of the non-teacher, the young man sighed. Merlin now is a blank slate for him, unable to explore. And this can easily be frustrating for a psychic person, and it can also make people feel that none of this is real.

Will he accept me again without any guilt?

And should I approach again without hesitation?

No one can answer.

Looking down at his bony hands, West lowered his eyes, and his mind, which had gradually calmed down from the joy of reunion, was a little dazed.

Although reason told him that he should not let himself and Merlin get close too soon before he had settled Yi Laizhe, and not bring him unknown risks because of himself, if this heartfelt feeling could be so easily trapped in the bottom of his eyes, then it would not have tormented him so much and remained silent.

The boy's heart was in turmoil. He needed a little time to think about it and organize his thoughts now, but Merlin was sitting next to him, so he couldn't even keep his head down, let alone the restless fellows of the Knights, even if they were out of breath in the court, they didn't forget to stop him.

Like what.

"Hey, Gowen's little boyfriend! Help kick the ball over!! The opposing player fired a powerful shot, but was blocked by Percival in front of goal. Seeing the football clattering to West's sideline, Lancelot stood on the boundary line and waved at him.

- The hermit's forehead twitched dangerously.

"Hey, Gowen's little boyfriend! Did you see that ball just now!! "The glory of kings requires rejoicing. Arthur, who had just scored a goal, enjoyed enough of the frenzy of the fans present, and when he turned around and saw the brown-haired boy cowering in the shadows with an expressionless face, he couldn't help but show off triumphantly with the new members.

- The hermit clapped his hands without love.

"Hey, my little boyfriend!" Even in the end, even Gao Wen himself couldn't help but run to join in the fun. In front of the whole school, he threw a flying kiss to the black-faced West without any scruples, just like he did with countless girls who had dated him, and said affectionately: "If I win this victory for you, can you reward me with yourself?" ”

'Smack-' finally couldn't bear it anymore, this time Merlin smiled and burst the mineral water bottle in his hand.

I was taken aback. West looked in surprise, and clearly felt the temperature around him drop.

"Is it really the first time you and Gao Wen have met today?" Speak gently. The expression on the mage's face looked normal, but what the truth was, I'm afraid only he knew.

“…… Be. "There's nothing to deceive about.

"There's something you need to remember, little boyfriend."

Throw away the trash that has been twisted into twisted hands in your hands. Merlin tilted his head and stared straight at the boy who was called Shock, and his tone was very sincere:

"The first time I saw you was in the library, almost two months ago. While you may not remember, I'm sure that's you. ”

So?

I couldn't figure out what the boy meant. West looked at it suspiciously, but coldly crashed into the mage's deep light gray eyes, as if by magic, firmly attracting him, making people unable to take their eyes off.

"I just wanted to state a fact...... I met you before Gawen, West. ”

Merlin just laughed softly. The dazzling afternoon sun fell into his eyes, like an evil wizard, casting a seductive spell on the boy that could never be broken—

"So, if you have this intention and want to find a boyfriend by your side, I should be more qualified than him no matter how you think about it."

His chest froze, and his eyes widened suddenly. Looking at the man's calm and breezy expression, the hermit who had always seen through people's hearts was at a loss, and couldn't tell whether this was a truth from the heart or another innocuous joke.

So, he didn't dare to answer.

… …

A 90-minute standard game seems to come to an end in the blink of an eye.

In the end, Arthur and they won, and there was no suspense about winning. After all, the opponent is not on the same level as them, let alone losing, even if they win very reluctantly, the arrogant coach of the school team will sentence them to fail, and then let everyone be killed this summer. The drill peeled off a layer of skin.

In a way, they're actually winning back their summer vacation.

In a trance, I watched the young knights come against the light. West was stunned for a moment, and this time he remembered that he should have stood up and said congratulations, but when he put it into practice, his eyes went black, and he almost slammed his head into the cement stands behind him. Fortunately, Merlin quickly helped him with his hand.

- This damn deviant.

Baring his teeth, the hermit rolled his eyes in indignation. Although sitting in a posture for a long time is almost all this virtue, but that is by the standard of an ordinary human being. And it's obvious that he's not an ordinary human, so that's too much, right? No one told him that the genetic mutation would change more and more?!

"What's the matter with you?" It didn't seem to have much strength, but the arm around his waist was quite strong. The archmage carefully let West stand on his feet, and frowned worriedly, "Did you suffer from heat stroke?" ”

…… No, but if you don't stay away from me, I'm going to get heat stroke.

Through only a thin shirt, you can feel the temperature on the boy's skin. The dizzy black shadow in front of him gradually faded, but his heartbeat was like a drum, and the tip of his nose was surrounded by the smell of sunshine belonging to Merlin, if he suffocated to death in the next second, the hermit would not be strange at all.

"Oooh! Merlin, you're going to rob my little West? ”

As soon as he got closer, he saw their reverie-inducing posture, Gao Wen reflexively teased, and then found that the joke seemed to be out of time: "Why are you so pale?" Anemia? ”

"It should be hypoglycemia."

Seeing that Gao Wen's voice was about to lure everyone over, West spoke lowly, signaling them not to worry, and vaguely said that Merlin could let go of himself first.

However, the mage did not like him.

"You didn't eat lunch?" Remembering that when he saw this guy in the lounge just now, he seemed to be carrying a bowl of fried dumplings that had not been touched in his hand, Merlin's face turned dark all of a sudden, "Just after class, he was pulled directly from the street to the stadium, right?" ”

Gao Wen silently looked down at the ground.

"And, more than lunch, you didn't eat anything today." As early as when he pretended to be Colin, he figured out all of West's class schedules and schedules, so he naturally knew what kind of virtue he was on weekdays. The mage's voice was a little more dangerous: "Lie in bed, catch up with the morning class, and don't bother to do it yourself...... Saved breakfast? ”

West looked up at the sky with a weak heart.

- Good.

I'm going to be by this big-sized bear child. Merlin suddenly didn't want to be gentle, and the gentleman didn't pretend anymore, so he strangled the young man's waist and threw a knife at him if he dared to resist, but his face was still smiling as always.

"I'll take this Mr. Xavier to rest first, and then call me when you have a place to set up for the evening."

Looking up at Arthur who was walking this way, before he could ask what was going on, he was immediately frozen in place by the mage's smile and hidden knife. Merlin didn't wait for the others to react, and then turned and walked away, with a neat and unquestionable movement, like dragging a dead dog that was unwilling to move.

"......" former King Camelot was deeply shocked.

He looked at his teammates behind him in disbelief.

"Merlin is angry." Knowing his feelings, Lancelot spoke for him beside him.

"Well, for a kid who doesn't take good care of himself." Shrugging, Percival said he couldn't agree more.

"And they've only known each other for less than three hours." The voice was ethereal like a wandering spirit, Gao Wen finally added.

"So-"

With an unfathomable expression, Arthur put his hands behind his back and dragged out his voice. But a malicious smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"Looks like we're going to get used to seeing that boy all the time, next to Merlin?"

He nodded vigorously, and everyone present was deeply convinced of this.
