Chapter 247: Jolena's Confession
The results of tonight's match are in.
Amaterasu of Ukizakura actually lost the game.
Shocked, stunned, and surprised, the discussion on the Internet was overwhelming.
There is also more than half of the hot spots, which are related to Jolena's 'semi-announced boyfriend'.
Some people can't accept idols announcing their relationship, some people send blessings while just lemons, and some people simply eat melons.
But these have little to do with the parties involved.
While there was an uproar on the Internet, Jolena withdrew from the arena amid the tsunami-like shouts of the scene, and her slender waist, long legs and high ponytail disappeared into the shadows of the players' passage.
The wound was deep, but fortunately it didn't hurt the internal organs...... You have to deal with the bandaging quickly. โ
Looking down at the bloodstains cut by the Kusanagi sword, Jolene pursed her lips and reached out to push open the door of the lounge, calmly making a judgment.
There is a medical kit in the lounge, so you can treat your wounds briefly before treating them with the Priestess. โ
After pushing open the door, Jolena was slightly stunned, only to see that Lin Xiao, Sigrid, and Chu Yun were already waiting in the lounge.
"Jolena, your wounds ......" Sigrid looked at the bloody wounds on Jolena's body, her eyes worried.
"It'll be back soon, so let's go out first." Jolene said.
"I can help you with it!" Sigrid is a hacker and doctor.
Jolene smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, I'm more used to treating it myself." โ
During Sara's travels, she was injured a lot, but luckily the Tarot card "Priestess" was a card she acquired early on, which provided the ability to "heal".
Chu Yun looked at Lin Xiao and saw that he nodded slightly, so he patted Sigrid on the shoulder and motioned for her to go outside with him.
Smack.
Chu Yun led the door of the lounge.
Jolene, with a thin sweat on her forehead, exhaled, turned her back to the still standing figure and said:
"Why aren't you leaving?"
"I'm actually a doctor." Lin Xiao said seriously.
"Okay, got it...... So get out of here. Jolene said helplessly.
"Don't underestimate people, lie down, I'll help you bandage!"
"Hey!" Jolena Hongtong was a little stunned, reflecting Lin Xiao who walked away, and then a little ashamed.
How can you take advantage of people's danger like this!
She was almost pressed by her shoulders and lay on a chair in the lounge.
Lin Xiao adjusted the back of the chair, used it as a simple operating table, and said:
"The terrible thing about the Tiancong Cloud Sword is not that it is slashed, but that there will be the resentment of the Yaqi Great Snake in the place where it is beheaded, and the wound is difficult to recover, so I will deal with it more reliably......"
Jolena stared at the watery ruby eyes, her body stiffly lying on the back of the chair, firmly staring at Lin Xiao's every move, without saying a word.
"There happens to be a medical kit here...... Lin Xiao finished her preparations and looked back at Jolena, "Do you take it off yourself or do it myself?" โ
"Hmm......" Jolene whimpered unwillingly in her throat.
"Okay, don't bother, time is precious." Lin Xiao walked up to Jolena and stretched out her hands.
"I'm out of ......," Jolene said resignedly.
She took off her black and red blazer and small waistcoat, which was a black Victorian corset.
Lin Xiao observed for a moment and asked abruptly, "Okay...... Where's the button? โ
"Back ......" Jolena's cheeks were so red that they were almost dripping blood, and she said softly, "You move lightly......"
"Don't worry, I won't touch the wound."
Lin Xiao glanced at Jolena's lower abdomen.
The drawing of the Tiancong Cloud Sword tore a gap in this corset, and the flesh and blood at the wound turned out, dripping with blood and staining the red and snow-white skin.
Lin Xiao was a little distressed. She was probably able to walk back to the lounge with her head held high, instead of being carried back on a stretcher by the event's medical team.
Jolena noticed Lin Xiao's eyes, the red boy flickered slightly, stretched out her hand and grabbed his messy hair, smiled slightly, and said:
"I'm fine...... Injuries are commonplace, aren't you? โ
"I usually kill the enemy in seconds, and I don't have a chance to get hurt." Lin Xiao said expressionlessly.
Jolena pulled the corners of her mouth, and the wound hit with severe pain: "You guy......"
Lin Xiao walked around behind her and helped her take off the bloody corset that was sticking to the wound. Jolene closed her eyes and hissed.
She looked like a wounded white rabbit with a single tied hand, her lower abdomen with a waistcoat line rising and falling slightly, and a deep wound a few inches above her umbilicus, like a bloody centipede.
Lin Xiao didn't look around with the leisure elegance of looking around, frowned slightly, and said:
"I guessed right...... The Kusanagi Sword has the ability to prevent wounds from healing. It was a cursed sword taken from the corpse of the Yagi serpent. โ
"Heaven Descends"
"Haven't you been defeated by me?" Jolene said stiffly.
Lin Xiao turned a deaf ear and said methodically:
"I'll clean the wound first, it will hurt a little, then use the power of gluttony to draw off the curse of the Kusanagi sword, then use typhoid fever and miscellaneous diseases to stop the bleeding, and finally bandage ......"
Lin Xiao suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Jolena: "No opinion, right?" โ
Jolene stared at Lin Xiao motionless just now, but now she came back to her senses and said a little crampedly, "Of course I... No comments. โ
There was saline in the medical box, Lin Xiao took the saline bottle to help Jolena rinse, she didn't say anything, her eyes were closed, her eyelashes and eyebrows trembled slightly.
The next step was to extract the curse that swirled around the wound. Lin Xiao's right palm lit up with a cluster of black light, carefully controlling the power of gluttony, and swam along Jolena's wound.
A shiver erupted in Jolena's back, as if a feather was brushing over her lower abdomen, and she opened her eyes and stared at Lin Xiao, who was engrossed.
"Does it hurt?" Lin Xiao raised her eyes.
Jolene shook her head.
"It's not like I don't know your temper...... It's okay, it won't hurt anymore soon. Lin Xiao said widely.
Jolene was quiet for a moment, nodded her head, and saw a simple scroll appear in Lin Xiao's palm.
A healing force surged from the scroll, and the bleeding was successfully stopped, leaving only the last step of bandaging.
"I'll do it myself." Jolene looked at the medical bandage in Lin Xiao's hand.
Lin Xiao didn't make a sound, leaned over to finish the bandaging for Jolena, and then breathed a sigh of relief:
"It should be fine now."
It was already completely dark, and the lounge was quiet, echoing the breath of the two of them.
Lin Xiao raised her eyes and saw a different look in Jolena's eyes.
The two looked at each other quietly for a moment, and Lin Xiao's gaze involuntarily moved downward.
"Don't look at it." Jolene said with a red face.
"It depends on what I just saw." Lin Xiao said confidently, "Now is the interest that should be paid." โ
"Cut ......" Jolena bit her lip, reached for the shoulder strap, and said shyly: "Okay, okay......"
The tall ponytail girl's mind is a mess... Anyway, I would have identified him a long time ago...
Lin Xiao didn't force it, and changed the subject: "I'm hungry, clean up and eat supper, you have a treat." โ
Jolene: "?? โ
The hallway outside the lounge.
Sigrid and Chu Yun were like two door gods, standing on the left and right sides of the gate.
The little secretary turned his head to look back from time to time, and Chu Yun crossed his arms and held a cigarette.
"I said, why do we want to stay here and eat dog food?" Sigrid said aggrievedly.
"Because it's worth it."
Chu Yun took a deep breath, and the smiling appearance of the former captain seemed to appear in front of him.
"Everything before the end of the day can be meaningless...... But at least, people and human feelings are real. Chu Yun said.
"You talk like a philosopher sometimes, raven." Sigrid blinked.
"It's because of Lin Xiao's influence, so it's just that I became a secondary two." Chu Yun extinguished the cigarette butt and said vigorously, "Go back and continue to investigate the bones and evil gods." โ
"Alas...... The rest is over. Sigrid stretched, "Work work!" โ
โฆโฆ
As agreed, two days later was the day to leave to visit Jolena's father.
As a card master of the quasi-sanctuary, two days were enough for her to recover from her injuries.
The Worlds are still ongoing.
Augustus unexpectedly defeated a strong opponent to advance, and the duel between Jiang Shang and Brahma was about to kick off.
Although Jiang Shang has always behaved like a fishing veteran, as the former No. 1 powerhouse in Zhongzhou, he has a record of defeating many 'unparalleled national warriors'.
In Lin Xiao's opinion, although Brahma Chatian has the legendary card 'Asura', his background is still a little short of Jiang Shang.
Lin Xiao also got in touch with Jinlong Zhenjun.
After separating from Ying Long, Jinlong Zhenjun succeeded in living the life of an ordinary person.
However, he still has the highest level of search authority in the Middle-earth Alliance, and he can always search for some strange knowledge on the Internet.
In the chat group, when it comes to being knowledgeable, Jinlong Zhenjun is also unique.
In the past few days, the discussion on the Internet about the love affair of the heavy sword man has become more and more intense, making the gossip souls of the group members also burn.
After @้ๅไบบ, and after getting his own acknowledgement, a series of 'lemon' emojis popped up in the chat group.
Red Panda: "Today's Dog Food +1"
Snow Drink Knife: "Please don't send it, only when you send this kind of thing to show off, my heart is as uncomfortable as a knife cut (tears*3)"
Du Jingang: "@้ช้ฅฎๅ, don't go crazy here. โ
Ghost Bride: "(Licking Lemons) ยท Jpgโ
"It's strange, why haven't you seen the ghost bride explode these days?" The red panda suddenly noticed and said, "I'm a little unused to it." โ
Xue Drinkdao smiled: "I know, I want to transform and get married!" โ
The ghost bride sent a voice.
Lin Xiao peeped at the screen, clicked on the voice, the words were beautiful, and the voice was moving.
"Snow Drink Knife, I (beep) you (beep) #@!"
Lin Xiao coughed dryly.
The telegraph operator in the chat group is yes.
After the water meeting, I chatted with Jinlong Zhenjun about the recent situation, and Lin Xiao went offline.
Pack your bags and get ready to go to the Federation with Jolena tomorrow.
Night shrouded.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the luxury hotel, brilliant fireworks are lit up to symbolize the opening of tonight's game.
The two sides of tonight's showdown are Jiang Shang and Brahman, and the final four places will also be decided.
Because he was going to the Federation tomorrow, Lin Xiao did not go to the scene to watch the game, and chose to stay in the hotel to watch the projection live broadcast.
Daifuku climbed ashore from the pool on his balcony, his beard wet and his small eyes looking up at the sky, reflecting beautiful fireworks.
The doorbell rings in the hotel room.
Lin Xiao opened the door and saw Jolena standing at the door with her right hand and left arm.
"Tomorrow, don't be late." Jolene said.
"I won't forget such an important event." Lin Xiao took a step back, "Come in and talk." โ
Jolena hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Excuse me." โ
She passed by Lin Xiao's side, her high ponytail swaying slightly.
Lin Xiao looked at her back and said, "How is your injury?" โ
"It's no big deal......"
As if remembering the scene in the lounge that day, Jolene paused and said softly, "Thank you." โ
"You don't have to be so polite with me." Lin Xiao opened the refrigerator door and asked, "Do you want something to drink?" โ
"No need...... Jolena sat on the couch, her expression a little cramped, "I'll leave in a while." โ
Lin Xiao took a bottle of mineral water, sat down next to Jolena, looked at the projection screen, and said, "I don't need to help you bandage your wounds, right?" โ
"No, I'll bandage it myself." Jolene said.
Lin Xiao let out an 'oh' and said, "That's good." โ
Accompanied by the passionate and loud commentary on the projection screen, the two tacitly agreed not to speak, and a quiet and harmonious atmosphere enveloped the two.
"The game is on." Lin Xiao said suddenly.
"Hmm." Jolene looked at Lin Xiao's side face, "Who do you think will win?" โ
Lin Xiao stared at Brahma Chatian and Jiang Shang who appeared on the screen, and muttered:
"It should be Jiang Shang. I'm pretty confident in him. โ
"Yes." Jolene echoed softly.
Lin Xiao turned his head: "What have you been watching me do." โ
"Sometimes it feels... You can be hard. Jolena paused for a moment and said slowly: "As the strongest card master, I have undertaken... Greatest responsibility. โ
"Nope. It's not hard. Lin Xiao's eyes flashed, and she said seriously: "I told you that I decided to fight against the end of the world, not for others, but for self-......."
Before the words fell, Jolena's cold hands clasped Lin Xiao's temples and smiled gently: "Okay, I know." โ
Lin Xiao was a little dizzy, and her body followed Jolena's movements, lying on her lap.
"I don't like people to be coquettish, but ......," Jolena said calmly, "You're special." โ
"Exceptional...... Significant. Jolene said.
The fragrance lingered on the tip of her nose, Lin Xiao's stiff shoulders gradually relaxed, pillowed Jolena's legs, stared at the projection screen, and said in a low voice:
"Occasionally...... Like, it's pretty good. โ
Lin Xiao felt a hand gently stroke her hair, and Jolena's calm voice came: "Occasionally...... You can also rely on me. โ
"Can't you keep it?" Lin Xiao greedily took a sip of the fragrance on Jolena's body.
"No, you can't." Jolene looked at Lin Xiao: "Because you are also special to this world." โ
Lin Xiao smiled dumbly: "You really look up to me." โ
"The knight did not embark on a journey to save the princess." Jolena said, "But if the knight falls, the princess will take up his sword and become the new knight." โ
"What a wayward princess." Lin Xiao said.
"At least you're with me...... Lin Xiao, I'm ......"
Like a kitten that has let go of her guard, Jolena approaches Lin Xiao step by step, but as soon as he has the slightest unhappiness, she will turn around and run away, like an oyster opening its shell in the warm water, revealing its inner softness, placing itself in the gaze of a predator.
She said in a very soft voice, "I like you." โ
Jolene was suddenly hugged tightly.
On the projection screen, the narrator congratulated Jiang Shang on his successful promotion, and the sound of fireworks rose outside the hotel.
Lin Xiao hugged the girl's soft body, feeling her head resting on her shoulder, and her body trembled slightly as if she was afraid.
What is she afraid of?
Afraid that I would leave her alone, afraid that I would walk too fast to keep up with me, or that the end of the world would eventually come?
Or maybe it doesn't really matter. The warmth at your fingertips is more real than the ethereal fear.
Lin Xiao just hugged his arms tighter, and said softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Tomorrow, I'll go back to the Federation with you."
The room was pitch black, with two figures on the sofa leaning close together, only the projection screen glowing.
