The third watch is completed.

Qin Xiong hesitated and called Sylvia.

She was invited to join her on the Advent Day of St. Nicholas.

But when Sylvia received the call, she began to hesitate.

She studied in the university dormitory, as a good student with excellent character and learning, Sylvia's day is only 24 hours, no more than a minute and a second more than others, in terms of time utilization, she is better and diligent than others, so she can take care of her studies at the same time, as much as possible to do part-time work to earn money.

At the University of Amsterdam, she majored in history and minored in art collection.

Starting tomorrow, for a week, there will be an antiques fair in Amsterdam, where more than 30,000 people will visit or trade at the fair.

With Sylvia's professional knowledge, she can do a part-time job as a guide for visitors, so she has called the organizer to consult, and the other party has not promised anything, just asked her to come tomorrow, if the organizer is too busy to run out of manpower during the event, she will consider recruiting part-time staff.

Before Qin Xiong called, her established plan was like this.

Last time, Qin Xiong gave her a ticket and invited her to watch the game, but she didn't go.

This time, St. Nicholas Advent Day, to be honest, as a local, Sylvia was not familiar with that event, and there was no special attraction.

But after hesitating, she agreed to Qin Xiong!

After hanging up the phone at the agreed meeting place, Sylvia put one hand on her forehead with a strange expression.

"I must be crazy"

Tomorrow's antiques fair, if she can get a part-time job, the pay will definitely be higher than the average part-time job, but she gave up and went to the kind of festival like Children's Day.

She didn't understand either, after hearing Qin Xiong's invitation, she obviously hesitated for a moment, but she still agreed by mistake

St. Nicholas Advent Day is a bit like a warm-up for Christmas, and it's also a child's holiday.

On the morning of the 19th, Qin Xiong, who was dressed in casual clothes, was waiting for his friends at the meeting point in the city center.

Kaahus, Zeller, Louisel, and De Huus appeared in front of Qin Xiong with their girlfriends, and Sylvia, who was belated, did not dress up very carefully, in fact, she has always dressed up naturally and ordinarily, but her appearance is beautiful, and she is an ordinary dress, which can also make her particularly attractive.

After the rendezvous, they watched the festival parade together in the city center.

One of the festival's organizers, dressed in a traditional decoration similar to a bishop's robe, appeared in the center of the city, and that was St. Nicholas, the Mayan bishop, who marched through the city center with his black acolytes, mostly with parents and children.

Qin Xiong thought it was such a grand event, but in the process of watching, he found that it was actually just like that, and it was indeed related to too many children around, like young people here, it seemed a little out of place.

He could tell that Sylvia wasn't in high spirits, even though she always had a smile that made her smile.

After the parade, they boarded the more characteristic steam train and went to the port, ready to board the ship that the organizers had carefully decorated.

That's the means of transportation of St. Nicholas, who is also the symbol of the patron saint of the sea.

Today is not as good as Qin Xiong expected.

He thought he would be able to have a day of fun with Sylvia.

However, the atmosphere and content of the event were more or less disappointing, and even he, who had experienced such an event for the first time, felt bored, so as a local, Sylvia, her feelings can be imagined.

And his friends, probably because they are in pairs, whether the activity is fun or not, is not the most important, originally, people just take the opportunity to come out to play and talk about love.

Qin Xiong was keenly aware that Sylvia was forcing a smile, which made him feel a little guilty in his heart.

Embark on a cruise ship to visit, because there are many tourists, Qin Xiong can only follow behind Sylvia, the cruise ship is not big, and the deck aisle can only be three or four people walking side by side.

As they walked down the deck aisle, some hapless kid in front of them shouted, "St. Nicholas has started giving gifts!" ”

Then, the children on the boat, under the boat, and still boarding the boat, went crazy!

Like locusts swarming towards the bow of the ship, the narrow aisle became more crowded in an instant.

Sylvia took the initiative to make way for the children, clinging to the fence by the sea, the ship's fence design was also problematic, obviously low, when more children rushed to St. Nicholas to ask for gifts, Sylvia suddenly lost her center of gravity, and a few ignorant children went on a rampage, ignoring the space in the aisle on the deck.

"Huh?!"

Sylvia realized that she had fallen off the deck at the moment when she lost her center of gravity after being hit!

And the place under her should be the sea!

At the last moment, Qin Xiong reached out and grabbed her arm, and Sylvia just breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes suddenly widened, and her eyes were full of incredulity.

Her body, just stabilized for less than a second, is still falling!

Qin Xiong's expression was also shocked, he leaned out of the fence with half of his body to pull Sylvia, but he was also squeezed by the child behind him and leaned outward, and suddenly his feet did not stand firmly, he and Sylvia fell out of the ship together!

It was about ten meters high, and it should not be able to fall to death, Sylvia closed her eyes nervously, in the darkness, she felt that someone was hugging her body, strong and powerful arms wrapped around her body, and there was a flip when she fell in the air, her face could be pressed against that fiery chest, she should have been in a state of panic, for a moment, she was no longer worried.

She opened her eyes, her gaze went up, she could see Qin Xiong's facial features, and saw his calm gaze, he hugged Sylvia's delicate body that was plumper than she imagined, and his heartbeat was unprecedentedly violent, and this heartbeat throbbing would definitely be noticed by her, because Qin Xiong hugged her, very hard, very tight.

The flip in the air caused Qin Xiong's back to face down, preventing Sylvia from being injured when entering the water.

Will it hurt?

Of course it will, ordinary people who can't dive, don't try to dive high-altitude diving, if it falls into the water with a large font on the front, it will definitely hurt to death.

Qin Xiong made eye contact with her, as if he was silently saying something and conveying something, so that Sylvia was no longer panicked, no longer afraid, and at the moment when she was about to fall into the water, she closed her eyes and held her breath.

The cold sea water invaded the two of them in late autumn, and when they were still falling in the water, Qin Xiong's strength to hold her tighter, as if he was afraid that she would not be able to swim, or, for her to dispel the cold.

And Sylvia also wrapped her hands around Qin Xiong's upper body, her mind was emptied in a short time, and she forgot to hug his body for a while, as if seeking safety, and it was also like conveying warmth to him.

When the body stopped falling, with the buoyancy of the seawater, Qin Xiong and Sylvia stepped on the water with their legs at the same time, and after floating to the surface of the sea, the two let go of a hand, Qin Xiong looked at the wet Sylvia in front of him, and asked with concern: "Can you swim?" ”

Sylvia didn't maintain her trademark smile and nodded silently.

Qin Xiong and her tacitly let go of the other hand that was holding each other's bodies, and swam to the shore together.

With the help of the shore staff, Qin Xiong and Sylvia went ashore, and De Heus and the others ran off the boat after realizing it, and their friends immediately took action.

Some went to get towels, and some took off their coats for the two of them.

In late autumn, it is not particularly cold, but when you fall into the water with your clothes on and go ashore, the cold cannot be dissipated.

Sylvia sneezed a few times and sat on the shore with her arms folded, occasionally shaking instinctively twice.

Qin Xiong, who was drenched all over, left, and in the incomprehensible gaze of everyone, he walked away without saying a word.

But he soon returned, and he went to buy two sets of clothes, and handed Sylvia a bag containing ladies' clothes.

The two found a bathroom to change their clothes, and finally got better.

This time, there was no interest in playing at all, Qin Xiong and Kaahus were separated, planning to send Sylvia home.

He offered to take a taxi, but Sylvia insisted on taking the bus.

Walking on the way to the bus stop, the two didn't say a word, Qin Xiong felt that he was a failure, and Sylvia was also a little guilty, thinking that she had swept Qin Xiong's interest, and when she was working on Wardle Street, she knew Qin Xiong's life.

Today's opportunity may be one of Qin Xiong's few entertainment and relaxation.

When approaching the bus stop, Sylvia stopped, she was about to say goodbye to Qin Xiong, but when she just said a word, she suddenly weakened and passed out in Qin Xiong's arms.

Qin Xiong, frightened!

For the first time in his life, he was so frightened, and he felt that strange sense of fear!
