He walked down the street holding You Ning's hand, not daring to mention anything about his magical talent.
As the sun sets, it paints the sky orange-red like an overturned palette of paint, the irregular hues creating a unique and vivid scene.
They walked silently along the roadside.
One in front and one behind, remaining silent.
For a very long time.
Yixing stopped in his tracks, looked up, and said earnestly, "Ningning, don't worry, I will definitely protect you from now on!"
You Ning refused: "You have your own life too, there's no need for me to..."
Yixing interrupted her, stopping her from saying those discouraging things:
No.
"Yixing protects Youning because—"
"They are best friends."
"I love You Ning the most! You Ning and I are the best of friends in the world!"
"Yixing must protect Youning."
"Because Yixing should protect Youning, protect her for the rest of his life!"
The warm sunlight bathed them, adding a touch of vitality to You Ning's cold, pale face.
This further enhances the credibility of Yixing's resolute expression at this moment.
You Ning's eyes stung slightly. She looked down at their clasped hands, her voice choked with emotion:
"Fool."
"A lifetime is too long."
Yixing didn't care how long a lifetime was; he only cared about smiling to keep Youning from being sad.
"Mom said so."
"Magic is used to protect the most important people in your life."
"My family and You Ning are the most important people to me."
"I should strive to become stronger to protect the most important people in my life!"
Yixing pulled Youning forward, smiling happily.
"I want to grow up quickly and work hard so that Ningning can tell others—"
"My partner Jiang Yixing."
"He's the most amazing person."
You Ning's nose tingled, and she nodded with a soft laugh:
"Um."
"Yixing is the most capable person."
They were on their way home.
"Come to my house for dinner today. Grandpa said he's making lots of delicious food. We'll invite your grandpa, grandma, and sister over too."
"Hehe, I hope I can eat Grandma's crispy pork today! Please, please! God help me, please don't let my sister go into the kitchen today."
"puff--"
"If Sister Lili hears this, she's doomed."
"Hmph, you dare say you're not afraid of eating your sister's food?"
"...That's true."
I'm home.
Ye Xinchu and Jiang Li brought out the dark-colored dishes.
The two men, surrounded by the smoke of gunpowder, said in unison:
"Hmph! My cooking is the best!"
Why are you mimicking my speech?!
Yixing and Youning, who had just pushed open the door, paused:
"It's over..."
*
When Yixing was twelve years old, seemingly to prove his promise, he studied so hard that he forgot to eat and sleep, putting in more effort than anyone else.
Logically speaking, at twelve years old, he is not yet qualified to enter a magic academy and does not need to study hard in advance. He is prone to going astray due to his young age.
Fortunately, his grandparents were magic professors at the world's most prestigious school.
It can help him learn magic effectively.
Yixing studied very diligently and was able to learn offensive magic very quickly.
Yixing always dragged Youning to class with him.
It seemed as if they were sulking with the tester.
I always felt that You Ning wouldn't be completely devoid of magical talent as the testing equipment claimed.
Does not having talent mean you can't learn?
He doesn't believe it!
You Ning is so smart!
You Ning could see through his little scheme, but she didn't expose him and just played along with his antics.
You Ning attended every class after that, staying by Yi Xing's side.
Yixing pestered his grandmother to teach him attack magic.
It took a long time of persuasion before they finally agreed.
Grandma stroked his head lovingly and helplessly: "Yi'er, it's not that Grandma doesn't want you to learn attack magic, it's just that it's best to learn this magic when you're of the right age."
"Using offensive magic at an age that is not appropriate will put a strain on the body."
"Okay, then I'll study ahead of time, okay? I'll learn attack magic as quickly as possible!" Yixing changed his approach.
"Why haven't I seen you so eager to learn before?"
Yi Xing made no attempt to hide his thoughts; his eyes shone brightly like the morning star.
"Because I want to protect Ningning!"
"Grandpa, Grandma, and Sister are all amazing. Everyone is amazing."
"As a boy, I should protect my friend, and my friend will catch up quickly. Before she catches up, I need to work hard to protect her."
You Ning, who was reading a book nearby, stopped abruptly, her hand unable to turn the page no matter what she tried.
She didn't expect that Yixing still hadn't given up on this idea.
After hearing this, Grandma patted Yixing's hand with a kind smile:
"Our Yixing is truly responsible."
You Ning closed the book.
She looked up at Grandma Yixing and asked, "Grandma, may I listen in too?"
Hearing this, what else could Grandma possibly object to?
"Okay, Grandma will teach you everything!"
"Just remember not to use this magic beforehand."
Yixing immediately straightened up and saluted obediently: "I promise! I will listen to Grandma!"
You Ning sat up straight: "I promise too."
Yixing and Youning learned attack magic for two days, and obediently did not use the magic.
On the weekend.
Yixing invited Youning to go out and play.
He stood at the door of You Ning's house, pressed the doorbell, and waited for You Ning to come out.
While waiting, he wiped away his sweat again and again because the sun was so strong.
He took out his water glass and gulped down several mouthfuls of water.
