Chapter 408: It's really amazing
When it is dusk, the light is no longer so glaring, but shines softly on people, bringing comfortable warmth.
After a crazy day of fun, Xu Cheng and Lin Wanzhou returned to the camp bathed in the sunshine. This atmosphere made them feel like they had had a great time.
The large troops that had gone out had now all gathered back.
Everyone started preparing for the evening dinner, and the brain, which had been dull just now, became excited again because of the extremely lively atmosphere in the camp.
Xu Cheng went to get something, and when he came back he searched for a while before finding Lin Wanzhou. She was holding a handful of skewers in her hand, and her mouth was full of oil from eating.
"Look at what you eat."
The boy took out toilet paper from his pocket and wiped Lin Wanzhou's mouth with a doting look.
The girl did not resist, but just looked at the boy in front of her with a giggle. She felt like she had turned into a child again, coming back from playing with a dirty face, and being caught by her father to wipe it off helplessly. However, she knew clearly that she had grown up now, and the man in front of her had become the boy she loved.
"I can't eat any more. These are for you." The girl pointed to the remaining skewers on the plate.
"Wait a moment." Xu Cheng took off the bag on his shoulder, took out the extra coat he brought from it, and put it on Lin Wanzhou. "Put this on. It's a bit cold by the lake at night."
The girl did not resist and let Xu Cheng's clothes wrap around her shoulders. Then, like an adult putting clothes on her, she stretched out her little hand to put it into the sleeve, and then stretched out the other hand.
As my body was wrapped in Xu Cheng's jacket, relying on the clothes to protect against the cold wind, I felt a slight warmth, and the heartbeat deep in my heart also radiated a soft warmth inside my body.
"The sleeves are so long."
Lin Wanzhou's white little hands finally pulled out from the sleeves of her clothes.
His jacket was too big, and it didn't look like a jacket on her anymore. It looked more like a large windbreaker, but it didn't look ugly at all. Instead, it had a lazy and bulky fashion feel.
"Does it look good?" She looked at Xu Cheng.
The boy nodded and smoothed her hair with his hands.
“It’s very pretty.”
Lin Wanzhou was extremely satisfied to receive his affirmation.
Whether other people think it looks good or not is not important at all.
"Do you want to go out for a walk again later?"
"OK."
The two of them slipped out quietly again. The sun was setting and was about to set. The clouds in the sky were red as if they were on fire. When reflected in the lake, the lake and the sky became exactly the same.
Compared to daytime, there were fewer people by the lake at this time, so Xu Cheng held the girl's hand, and the two walked along the lakeside.
Xu Cheng saw a particularly cute purple flower on the side of the road, which seemed to match Lin Wanzhou's clothes very well, so he picked it.
"For you."
The girl took it with great joy, held it gently in her hand, and even tried to sniff it with the tip of her nose.
She was already cute enough, and at this moment, under the atmospheric dusk scene, she looked even more charming. The wind blew gently, and the corner of her skirt swayed with it. A few strands of her hair also fell on the flowers, and between the gaps in her hair, there was a brilliant light from the horizon.
Xu Cheng felt that he would remember this moment, just like the countless moments they would experience for the rest of their lives.
The sun seemed to set particularly quickly and it was dark in a short while.
"I'm tired." Lin Wanzhou muttered.
"Then let's find a place to rest."
There were sparse street lights on the roadside. The two searched and found a bench by the lake and sat down together.
Lin Wanzhou shook her skirt, revealing a section of her fair and tender legs. She put her small hand on her white and tender legs and touched them, then frowned and hummed.
"I walked too much today. My feet hurt."
"Shall I rub it for you?"
Xu Cheng was immediately interested. As he spoke, he bent down, lifted the girl's legs and put them on his legs. He couldn't wait to reach out and untie her shoelaces.
"Eh hey hey? What did you do?"
Lin Wanzhou reacted and hit him, "You hooligan, you pervert."
"Don't hit me, don't hit me. I'll just massage your acupuncture points. Don't worry, I won't do anything else."
"Really nothing else?"
The girl was puzzled, but soon realized that just rubbing it was already too much!
Xu Cheng didn't say anything else, he moved very quickly.
The big hands untied the shoelaces twice, and the fingers touched the girl's calf vaguely.
Lin Wanzhou's legs are really beautiful.
When her legs were placed on his thighs, her tight, white legs had a very strong visual impact. Not only the visual impact, but even the touch made him unable to suppress his excitement.
The shoes were quickly untied, revealing the feet wrapped in white socks. The white socks had slight wrinkles on them, and the socks and feet did not fit well. The toes touched the top of the head, showing a little pinkness.
Perhaps because of the slight chillness of the feet, the cute little feet couldn't help but gently shake on his legs.
Xu Cheng's Adam's apple rolled, and he hugged her legs into his arms again.
"Where does your foot hurt?"
"I, I'm not in pain anymore."
The girl shyly grabbed the clothes on Xu Cheng's shoulders and leaned her head against his shoulders.
"If it doesn't hurt me, you don't have to rub it. Put it down quickly."
"No." Xu Cheng shook his head stubbornly, "It has to hurt somewhere."
“How could this happen!”
The girl stared at him aggrievedly for a few seconds.
Thinking that this guy wouldn't give up until he got his way today, he pursed his lips.
"My heel hurts."
"Heel..."
Xu Cheng looked thoughtful, then put his hand on the girl's calf, stroked her beautiful calf, moved down along the skin inch by inch, and finally stopped somewhere at the junction with the small feet.
"The spot in the middle of the junction of the foot and the leg is called Jiexi Point. Rubbing it can relieve heel pain."
As he spoke, he held the girl's heel with one hand and gently massaged the place he mentioned with the other hand.
Lin Wanzhou's face turned red with embarrassment, but this method seemed to be really effective. She really felt a slight numbing sensation spreading from the acupuncture points massaged by Xu Cheng, and her heels were no longer as uncomfortable as before.
“It seems to really work?”
"Of course it's useful." Xu Cheng nodded, "I learned it from someone specifically."
"Is this true? Who did you learn this from?"
"Ji Yuhua."
Lin Wanzhou didn't know who Ji Yuhua was, but she felt the name sounded very familiar, and she intuitively felt that it was a woman's name.
She secretly memorized the name.
After all, it doesn't seem very serious to teach others these things out of the blue. I must be more careful in the future.
After rubbing for a while, the boy showed his fangs, bent down and kissed Lin Wanzhou's exposed white legs with his lips.
"Xu Cheng, you said you wouldn't do anything else!"
"I'm sorry, Miss Lin was so attractive that I couldn't control myself." The young man sincerely confessed.
I have gone back on what I just said, which means I am not keeping my word, which is also a lie.
Lying is a bad habit.
But even though I confess, I will continue to say what I should say next time.
They went from strolling by the lake to doing sneaky things by the lake, until the night seemed very deep, and then the two of them hurried back to the camp in the dark.
Maybe it was because the lakeside was dark at night, and apart from the two of them who sneaked out, there was no one else hanging around.
Everyone gathered in the camp with dim lights and sat together, playing the game of passing the flower under the organization of Li Meiying.
When Xu Cheng went back, a boy was unlucky enough to be pulled out. He performed the ghost step dance in the middle of the crowd, which immediately attracted a round of cheers.
Lin Wanzhou pulled Xu Cheng's sleeve and said, "How trendy, Xu Cheng. This dance looks quite interesting."
"Is it interesting..."
Xu Cheng glanced at it perfunctorily, and his tone sounded as if he was not very interested in it.
It was definitely not because Lin Wanzhou was looking at other boys that King Xu started to get jealous again.
It's definitely because he simply doesn't find it strange.
What’s so good about a little ghost dance?
Can you pass the third test?
"Are you jealous?" Lin Wanzhou turned around and looked at him with a smile in her eyes.
Xu Cheng would never admit it.
"No."
How could he be being stubborn? How could he be being stubborn? He just wouldn't admit something that didn't happen.
"oh."
Lin Wanzhou nodded, then stood on tiptoe to whisper in Xu Cheng's ear, "Don't be jealous, I only look at you, not others."
“…”
Feeling the wet and hot breath beside his ears, as well as the faint fragrance of the girl's body, Xu Cheng felt something in his chest move noticeably.
"I, I didn't eat it, really."
He turned his head away shyly, leaving the girl alone with her hand covering her mouth and grinning.
After playing some games, Li Meiying announced that it was time for the most anticipated part of every spring outing - the sword fight by the lake.
“It’s finally about to begin!”
The crowd cheered, and everyone had a burning look in their eyes.
Xu Cheng didn't understand.
Isn't it the same as having a debate in school? It's just an impromptu one. Why are everyone so excited?
Of course, even though he doesn't understand, he still respects these boys and girls who love to debate. When a person likes something to a certain extent, it will become almost obsessive.
Lai Meiying briefly announced today's eight debaters, and Lin Wanzhou was naturally one of them.
"Come on." The boy encouraged.
Lin Wanzhou gave him a gentle smile in return.
Li Meiying continued reading, and when she came to Xu Cheng's name, everyone was stunned, including Xu Cheng himself.
"Senior, I thought you were joking!"
But Lai Meiying didn't look like she was joking at all.
Under everyone's gaze, Xu Cheng walked to the center of the crowd and stood blankly beside Lin Wanzhou.
"What's going on?" The girl covered her mouth and laughed.
Xu Cheng shook his head.
"How should I know?"
Tonight's lineup can be said to be star-studded. Except for Xu Cheng, an unknown debater, the remaining seven debaters on both the affirmative and negative sides can be said to be the seven strongest star debaters in the debate club.
Xu Cheng was also under great pressure.
How does the saying go? Never use your hobby to challenge other people's profession.
Although he has participated in debates a few times, it is ridiculous to put him here based on his level...
Moreover, Li Meiying specially placed him in the position of the first debater of the affirmative side. Although the rules here are different from the traditional debate rules, with the first, second and third debaters stating their opinions and questioning each other, and everyone having equal status and responsibilities, the boy was still nervous and tense.
Fortunately, Lin Wanzhou was the second debater on the affirmative side and sat next to him. With her by his side, Xu Cheng didn't feel so nervous. Instead, he had the desire to perform well.
At this time, Lai Meiying announced the topic of the debate.
It was indeed a casual debate, and the topics were particularly novel.
Is martial arts just a dream?
As for Xu Cheng, who is on the affirmative side, what he naturally wants to prove is that martial arts is just a dream.
All the debaters began to ponder. Lin Wanzhou, who was on Xu Cheng's right, and two other people quickly started discussing the topic with him. By the end of the discussion, they had a general direction and ended the preparation time.
Xu Cheng was called to be the first to make an essay, and Lin Wanzhou's little hand secretly pulled him.
“I look forward to your performance.”
Xu Cheng stood up. His tall figure immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Hello everyone, I am the first speaker of the affirmative team, Xu Cheng."
The crowd burst into applause.
However, Xu Cheng was thinking, as an unprofessional debater, should he approach the topic from another angle?
The applause around him died down, and he made a decision in his heart.
"There was a movie called Inception last year, and I believe many people have seen it."
"The movie has a spinning top that can start a dream."
"Then this stone in my hand, just treat it as a wake-up wood. When the wake-up wood is snapped, please follow me into a dream."
The two people on the positive side were completely confused as to what this person was talking about. Although Lin Wanzhou's eyes were also full of confusion, in her opinion, this was Xu Cheng's style.
At this time, Xu Cheng slammed the table like a gavel, "Enter the dream!"
Everyone in the field was startled, and the noise and discussion of the crowd were all paused.
Xu Cheng spoke on his own at this time.
"If you go all the way west and pass Youzhou, you will reach Liangzhou. There is a mountain in Liangzhou called Qingliang Mountain. The Liangzhou Royal Palace is located on Qingliang Mountain. It has thousands of doors and gates, and is extremely prosperous. It owns the entire Qingliang Mountain."
At this time, everyone on the field, whether they were on the affirmative side, the negative side, or the audience, was already in a state of stupor, with confusion written all over their faces.
"There is a Tingchao Pavilion in the Liangzhou Palace. It is one of the three most forbidden dangerous places in the world. It has an armory that contains half of the martial arts secrets in the world. On the first floor, there are 30,000 volumes of introductory martial arts in the world, and on the second floor, there are 4,000 unique copies of Yin-Yang and Zongheng."
"You suppressed the great sword god Li Chungang, the thirteenth sword armor of the Spring and Autumn Period, and discussed the Dao on the Demon Slayer Platform. Your sword failed to open the gate of heaven, and from then on, your sword was broken and you were imprisoned on the ground at the bottom of Tingchao Pavilion for twenty years."
Most people didn't know what Xu Cheng was talking about at the moment, but they had already listened and began to be attracted by the world he described.
No matter what he is doing, just listen to the storytelling first.
"Further east, all the way to the East China Sea, there is the second forbidden area, Wudi City. The city lord is Wang Xianzhi. He has been watching the tides from the top of Wudi City for sixty years. He regards the world's swordsmen as actors. He calls himself the second best in the world, and no one dares to claim to be the best."
"The third forbidden area is the Wu Family Sword Tomb. The family has passed down the sword technique of sitting in silence. It abandons the sword spirit and seeks the sword moves of nature. There are 160,000 famous swords used by swordsmen of all generations buried in the sword tomb. At the peak of his career, he used swords to move east and west, and defeated thousands of cavalry with nine swords, shocking the world."
As Xu Cheng described, a magnificent map seemed to slowly open before everyone's eyes, and pictures of the martial arts world appeared deeply in their minds.
"There is a Jianghu family in Jianzhou, which is across the river from Longhu Mountain and is called Jiangxi Longhu Jiangdong Xuanyuan."
"The most famous temple in the world is Liangchan Temple, where only two Zens are practiced in one's lifetime."
… …
"…So, at the snowy plain of Huishan, Li Chungang raised his sword and entered the immortal realm on land again."
He spoke vividly and everyone was fascinated by his description.
At this moment, Xu Cheng picked up the stone again and slammed the table.
"Out of the dream."
The crowd was startled again, as if they had just returned to reality from their previous martial arts dream.
Xu Cheng just lowered his head and took a deep breath.
Then say something very funny in a not-so-funny tone.
"This is the whole paragraph I just said."
"I made it all up myself."
