Chapter 16: Fortunately, I am still there

The bright stars sparkled in Jolina's eyes.

......

Akta looked at her silently, opening her mouth slightly, not knowing what to say.

"You're not going to come up yet?" said Jolina, looking at him and silent for a while.

The other party was stunned when he heard this, and then slowly swam towards the shore, and when he climbed ashore, Jolina walked quickly to his side, grabbed one of his arms, and pulled him.

A wave of warmth quickly spreads from the arm to the heart...... It was these hands that made Akta feel a little cold in the night—a reflection of how warm those hands were.

"You ......" Arcta's voice was a little hoarse, and his eyes unconsciously followed Jolina's hand until it landed on her face, which had a similar temperature to her hand.

And also...... Her eyes ......

Warm and focused.

When you meet such a look, the surrounding things suddenly "disappear". He was stunned for a moment, and while his "sanity" returned slightly, his cheeks burned uncontrollably, and he subconsciously wanted to step back, but just raised his arm, and the warmth on it made him dare not move.

Jolina didn't seem to notice the change in his expression or small movements, and leaned forward......

What does she want to do?

Akta's body froze, probably because his heart was beating too fast, and the cold that had been felt a little obvious disappeared completely, and his blood boiled.

They hadn't seen each other for more than a year, and at this time, Akta took the opportunity to "take a good look" of her, even if it was the person who had been with her day and night—Jolina's brown eyes were the same as before, pure and translucent, but at the same time there was something more—and there was a magnificent color refracted in the depths, with a hint of the seductive light that the women of the Red Fox Clan would have.

Even though, it seems that Jolina's dissatisfaction with her lack of the characteristic of the Red Fox Clan is still in her ears.

In the blink of an eye, she was no longer the little girl she was a few years ago - she was a young girl now, and she was getting more and more beautiful, and eventually she would grow into a beauty that everyone she saw praised her.

Akta's mind drifted somewhere, her eyes were a little dull and her heart was beating faster and faster.

She was getting closer to him......

Plop, plop.

Late at night, the lake was unusually quiet without people, only the sound of heartbeats - everything, I don't know if it was too quiet around, or if the sound of heartbeats was too fast and too loud.

"You ......," Jolina opened her mouth slowly.

Akta's mind wandered a little better.

"Stupid. Jolina continued.

Akta was stunned for a moment, and the whole person came to his senses: "You say...... What the. ”

"I said-you're stupid?!Who the hell told you the token necklace was in the lake?!Told you the necklace was in the lake and you jumped down?Fortunately, you can swim—what if you would?!" Jolina leaned over to him and stared at him, as if to make sure he really had a bad brain, and the speed of her speech became faster and faster.

Akta looked at Jolina's appearance with mixed feelings, coughing heavily, and the last trace of red on her face vanished - although she felt a little disappointed, but more than that...... Glad.

"And!" Jolina sighed again.

And also?

Akta was actually in a trance, and subconsciously trembled - I don't know if he was scared or what.

Sand......

A blanket was placed over Akta's head - watching Jolina reluctantly close the alchemy bag she was carrying: "Don't you feel cold." ”

"You've changed a bit. Akta said softly.

Jolina was stunned.

"You didn't talk that much nonsense before. ”

“......”

"You...... I wouldn't have said that to me before, Jolina. Akta continued, not looking at Jolina's complicated expression, but at the surface of the lake—he didn't know why he had jumped like that, though he ...... Even if you think about it, you won't regret it, "Thank you." ”

The anger and dissatisfaction on Jolina's face gradually subsided, calmed down a little, and sat down beside him: "Then what would I say before." ”

"'Hahaha nice job,' 'Wow, you're so good at swimming,' 'Since you want to help me so much, don't thank you,' or something. Akta said without hesitation.

“......”

It turns out that I have always had such an impression in the other person's heart......

"Teresa went and asked your counselor, and Shul told me, or I might not know anything—and I should have known nothing. Nothing can be done. ”

"Oh, is that why you haven't contacted me for a year since you left Wenger?" Jolina said suddenly, perhaps in a tone or something "tragic" about what she said, and Akta was speechless.

In fact, Akta didn't dare to speak.

This topic is somewhat sensitive to them.

Because it wasn't that long ago that they really hadn't been in touch for a while.

Akta was a year older than Jolina, and therefore a year older than her - he did not tell Wenger when he left for Anlimont College, he never wrote to Jolina after arriving at the college, and he did not return to Wenger during the holidays because he had gone to another city.

He thought it would all end like that.

And as imagined.

But—here he was, and again he met her, though the beginning was no different from the first meeting, and in retrospect it was somewhat tragic.

"Aha. Seeing that Akta didn't answer, Jolina chuckled and slowly stood up, "That's—thank you for helping me jump in the lake once, it's flat." ”

Get even...... Finish?

Aketa was stunned for a moment, and immediately stood up: "I didn't mean to ......"

"That's intentional. Qiao Lina walked forward without looking back and waved her hand, "It's about the same time, I'll go back first, so I won't be able to get up tomorrow." ”

"What about you...... Be careful. Don't be so late in the future......"

"Mother-in-law's. Jolina felt like she was going to be annoyed, "It's annoying." ”

Well, everything seems to be back to square one – and that's what Arcata remembers when she was at Arsene Wenger.

"Jolina. But Jolina hadn't gone far when she heard Aca's voice coming from afar.

She looked back.

"I really didn't mean it - it's nice to have you again. "He was covered with a blanket and looked a little embarrassed.

Jolina was silent, first lowered her head, and then raised it again after a long time.

"Oh. She said, "Aren't you going to leave, and the walls of your dorm are so easy to flip over?"

Akta didn't react when she looked at her, but breathed a sigh of relief - that's it, it's good.

The two of them moved forward quietly, one in front of the other, and the background was stretched a little long, as if they were advancing on a long road.

Fortunately, each other was still there at this time.
