This was Xia Yixin's first "relatively serious" fight in this world.
Xiao Yunting was indeed experienced and almost caught her several times, but after all, he was a man without any "cheat codes".
After fifty moves, Xiao Yunting also felt some strain. Neither of them used weapons, and although neither of them landed a real hit on the other, he knew that she had taken control of the rhythm.
His past experiences made his punches more ruthless and menacing.
He got serious.
Xia Yixin also sensed his change and revealed an opening when she blocked the opponent's punch.
Xiao Yunting seized her wrist, trying to subdue her, but unexpectedly, she turned around with his strength, stepped on the trembling tree trunk, and delivered a side kick.
The kick was very powerful. Xiao Yunting's shoulder was hit, and his throat tightened immediately. Based on his experience, his left shoulder would not be frozen for at least half a month. When he stood up again, the outcome was already decided.
"I lost," Xiao Yunting readily admitted.
Xia Yixin shook her head. "To be honest, you are good at using daggers and firearms. I am just stronger, and my experience points are not as high as yours, nor is my willpower as strong."
Xia Yixin absolutely admires him for this. For example, right now, even though his shoulder is dislocated and fractured, he still doesn't change his expression, which is evident.
She couldn't bear it, so she threw it at him—a small porcelain bottle containing medicinal pills.
"You should be able to fix your dislocation yourself. Take this pill for three days, one a day, and your internal injury will heal faster."
Xiao Yunting took it, thanked him, and then asked, "I saw you use a military dagger before, could we fight again with weapons?"
Even now, Xiao Yunting is still curious about the weapon that could cut through a steel dagger in one go.
He was referring to the Black Yama Spear!
Xia Yixin's pupils contracted slightly as she refused him, saying, "You're already injured, there's no need for us to continue the competition, and besides, that weapon is broken."
Xiao Yunting didn't insist. He nodded, turned around, clutched his shoulder, and walked into the depths of the forest, disappearing into the darkness shortly afterward.
Xia Yixin felt a little lost. She turned around and saw Lu Yan walking towards her. Her heart stirred, and she ran to him and hugged him.
"Are you hurt?" he asked.
She shook her head and sighed softly, "Suddenly I feel that we are quite lucky, actually."
After all, he managed to bypass the power of the main storyline, and as the male lead, he still ended up with her.
The black jade ring she had specially worn on her ring finger tonight sensed the warmth emanating from his "other half," which also ignited Xia Yixin's heart.
It was the dead of winter.
After the two got into the car, it started snowing heavily outside.
The two leaned on each other, their fingers intertwined.
As Xia Yixin felt the warmth of the man's palm, countless memories flashed through her mind of when the two of them had embraced indoors, watching the snow fall outside the window. At that time, besides the joy of discovering love for the first time, she felt mostly sadness at the impending separation.
She suddenly understood why she cared so much about Xiao Yunting and Zhao Jie as a couple.
Perhaps it was because of certain characteristics of Xiao Yunting that reminded her of her first world with Lu Yan. The regret was that they loved each other but could not be together.
She has experienced the vicissitudes of life, and it is a miracle that she can be reunited with him now.
He noticed that the little girl beside him had gradually fallen silent, and all he could see was that she looked like she was about to cry. He felt a pang of heartache and pulled her into his arms. "What's wrong?"
Xia Yixin said sullenly, "I'm just a little scared of being happy."
Just as Lu Yan was about to say something, her next sentence made his heart skip a beat.
"Lu Yan, let's get our marriage certificate when we're old enough, and then have a child."
She had never been so determined. She looked up at him earnestly and said, word by word, "I want a complete family. Even if we may not be able to be with that child for the rest of our lives, I want to have proof that our blood ties have been severed."
It has nothing to do with sex, but is an expression of the deepest love.
As Lu Yan looked at the girl who was speaking sweet words, his eyes gradually darkened.
That evening, Lu Yan originally wanted to "practice" with a certain woman, but unfortunately, she suddenly realized that her period had arrived, and she finally understood why she had suddenly become so sentimental.
The man, who was already ready to go, went to the bathroom with a dark face. She originally thought he was going to "take care of personal matters," but he came out with a basin of hot water a little while later.
She drank cold soda all night and wandered around outside for half a day. She hasn't had any reaction yet, but she'll probably be writhing in pain tomorrow. Lu Yan had no choice but to treat her urgently.
He knelt on the ground, took her icy little feet and placed them in the basin of hot water. The temperature was just right. She leaned on his shoulder, gently stroking his hair, smelling his faint, cool fragrance, and unknowingly fell asleep.
Lu Yan confirmed that her feet were no longer icy cold. After drying them, he carried her back to bed. Instead of rushing to clean up the mess, he unconsciously leaned down and kissed her smooth forehead.
There was a "thank you" that had always been hidden in his heart.
He has someone he wants to protect. He is indeed "not strong enough" anymore, but it is precisely because of her that he can give up everything to protect her, even his own life.
Outside the window, the moonlight was dim and soft. Unbeknownst to us, it had been snowing all night, but inside the house it was unusually quiet.
Tonight, couples are together, and the flowers are in full bloom under the bright moon.
Four months later.
With the start of the college entrance examination.
Those self-proclaimed "entertainment industry expert marketing accounts" are up to their old tricks again.
Before the results were even released, people were already predicting the worst, saying things like #a student's primary duty is to study, they shouldn't enter the entertainment industry too early#.
Some even went so far as to say, "If celebrities like this continue to exist, they will be dangerous role models for today's teenagers. They will follow suit. Studying is a student's duty. She is only eighteen years old and should not have entered the entertainment industry so rashly. Her college entrance examination results will definitely be her first warning sign."
They even dug up the original owner's high school grades from the previous three years from who knows where, deliberately creating the impression that she had poor academic performance.
However, soon after, the college entrance examination results came out.
They were proven wrong, becoming the top scorers in the capital's college entrance examination with a high score of 681!
The capital city's examination center even specifically criticized those so-called "entertainment industry expert marketing accounts," stating that they were absolutely fair and impartial, and even presented all of Xia Yixin's exam scores from her senior year of high school, with the highest score even approaching 700.
It was a slap in the face to those marketing accounts.
The story of how the teams behind those marketing accounts were later found to be involved in some shady cases, imprisoned, bankrupt, and disappeared is another story.
Xia Yixin passed the art exam back in February and will enter the Huaguo Drama Academy as a freshman in the acting department in September.
