[Twilight] Amis

"thump!"

The moment I fell into the water, the water splashed around my ears, and then, a boundless and depressing emptiness spread rapidly.

The water rushed from all directions with great pressure, overflowing her eyes, ears, mouth and nose, wrapping her whole body inside.

This familiar feeling...

Laila closed her eyes, and in an instant, a scene deep in her memory flashed across her mind like a meteor.

……

"Ladies and gentlemen! Beauties and handsome guys! This is the annual 'Braveheart' double challenge competition! Now the competition has reached the third level, and there are still three pairs of contestants left. The incomparable... the great high priest of the Yamis family, Mr. Il, and the beautiful Miss Leila! This pair is currently receiving the most attention, and I won’t say more about the reasons you know, as well as Gia and Mia This pair of charming twin sisters! And the father and son of Qisen and Xiaoqisen!"

The male host's voice, which was so excited that it almost broke, rippling loudly over the auditorium.

"Now three couples are rowing their own bamboo rafts in the crooked canyon, the first in line is the High Priest and Lila! It's the High Priest and Lila!!! Oh, dear fans, I can understand your excitement I am also very excited, yes, but please keep your voice down, I can hardly hear my own voice!"

The fans continued to shout hoarsely.

"...Okay, let's go on, the second place is Chisen and his son, Giya and Mia are going to cheer up! Oh no - there is a waterfall ahead! The high priest and Lila fell! They fell!! !"

There were screams at the scene.

"Alright, alright, the Qisen father and son are about to fall off the waterfall, and we can see a huge pool connected to the bottom of the waterfall—what kind of unscrupulous guy designed the pool so deep and wide...... This is the last level of the game, and the first pair to reach the shore is the final winner! I must reiterate that no spells are allowed in this game! Once a spell is used, it is considered automatic Give up the qualification! So now—the time to test the swimmers' swimming skills has come! Come on, players!"

Why do you have to test swimming! ! !

The moment she fell into the pool, the girl with black hair and black eyes couldn't help shouting resentfully from the bottom of her heart.

She can't swim, hey!

Tan Shui came from all directions, oppressing her body, like an insect wrapped in resin, deep panic spread uncontrollably in her heart.

what can we do about it? !After finally breaking through the last hurdle, it was just a little bit close, should I just give up like this?But what if you don't give up?

I'm almost running out of breath...

There was a sudden warm and soft touch on the lips, which was very clear in the icy pool of water.

The moist breath came from the place where they touched.

The girl opened her eyes with a "swipe", and was facing a pair of familiar eyes, dark blue, as inclusive as the sea, full of focus and tenderness, and there were some things she couldn't understand.

"Oh!! No—what did I see? What did I see! The High Priest kissed Miss Lyra on the lips!!!"

The male host yelled in disbelief.

"I seem to have heard the hearts of all the beauties at the scene. In fact, I know that the hearts of the beauties were already broken when the high priest and Miss Leila announced their partners to participate in the competition, because I was also heartbroken, oh no, Don't get me wrong, my heart is broken because of Miss Laila! Okay, let's get down to business, the high priest is taking Miss Laila to swim to the shore at a fast speed! As expected of the high priest! Even with one person, he can swim like this So cool and so fast! They're swimming first! First! Oh - they've reached the shore! They've won!!!"

The audience burst into thunderous applause, cheers, whistling and sobbing, mixed with the male host's excited voice:

"Let us dedicate the warmest applause to our handsome, unrestrained, unparalleled, unparalleled... the great high priest of the Amis clan, Mr. Il, and the beautiful Miss Leila! I'll tell you quietly, I've already guessed what they are like. One pair is sure to be champions. They will receive precious prizes from the 'Braveheart' organizing committee! Congratulations to them!"

……

In my mind, the loud shouts of the host and the noise of the scene gradually dissipated, and the picture returned to darkness.

Laila sighed inwardly, moved her fingers slightly, and was about to cast a spell on herself, when the water around her suddenly surged, and then, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her body, bringing her out of the water .

"Laila! Lyla!"

An anxious and panicked voice called her name in her ear, and she opened her eyes almost at the same time as the voice sounded.

"Lila!" Seeing her open her eyes, Edward's face suddenly showed great surprise, "Are you all right! Are you all right!" He asked anxiously.

The students and physical education teachers around them also asked.

Laila lowered her head and coughed a few times, spitting out some of the water she accidentally choked on when she fell into the pool just now, then shook her head at them, signaling that she was fine.

Edward's heart relaxed, and he couldn't help but hug Lila even tighter.

Just now, he saw her eyes closed, floating motionless in the water, with a calm and serene expression on her face, as if she had...already...

He never wanted to experience that feeling of fear and despair again.

Laila belatedly realized that she was lying in Edward's arms. This was her first swimming lesson of the term, so she was wearing... a swimsuit...

Lying in the arms of a woman with so little clothes...

She immediately moved uncomfortably, and the other party noticed her resisting movement, and reflexively tightened her arms. Just as Laila was about to continue to fight, a strange female voice suddenly sounded nearby, attracting her attention.

"I saw Dinah push her into the water!"

The speaker was a petite girl with short ear-length hair. She probably seldom spoke in front of so many people. She seemed a little nervous, but her tone was very firm, and she pointed at another tall man. girls.

that girl...

Laila narrowed her eyes.

That's right, it's her.

This was the face she saw just before she fell into the deep water, with wheat-colored skin, a high nose bridge, and gloomy emotions flashed in brown eyes.

At that time, she was walking on the edge of the swimming pool. When she accidentally slipped and almost fell, a pair of arms stretched out to support her. She raised her head and was about to thank him, but those arms suddenly turned. With force, she was caught off guard and pushed into the pool.

She thought, maybe the girl named Dinah reached out her hand to support her at first, but she suddenly became malicious for some reason.

"I didn't!" Dinah, who was named, immediately denied it, but the panic in her eyes betrayed him.

Edward was focused on Laila just now, and the short-haired petite girl's words made him notice Dinah's existence. He didn't even need to use mind reading skills to be sure that Laila's falling into the water was not an accident, but man-made.

"You're lying." He stared at Dinah closely, and said every word irrefutably, his tone was extremely cold, revealing an almost brutal anger.

And killing intent.

Dinah felt as if she was being targeted by a poisonous snake. A chill rose from the soles of her feet and climbed up her back to the top of her head. The courage to lie and deny just now seemed to be taken away in an instant.

"I... I was just, just joking with her." She swallowed and stammered.

"Are you kidding?" Edward sneered, and the anger in his eyes ignited even more. "Before you made this 'joke', did you know if she could swim? You push into the deep water area, do you think there will be no danger!"

"I, I thought she should be able to swim...it'll be fine..." Dinah whispered, her voice trembling.

"I won't." Laila looked at Dinah and said the words calmly.

She really can't swim.

For Amis, swimming is not a necessary skill, because there are spells that can help them move freely underwater, and she doesn't like water, so she never learned to swim.

During the short time in the water just now, she not only remembered the game she participated in with Il, but also remembered a thing that had been buried deep in her heart for a long time.

that matter……

Lyra sighed silently, and a sense of endless exhaustion suddenly came to her heart.

She stood up with Edward's support, looked at Dinah coldly and without saying a word for a while, until Dinah wanted to bury her head in her collar, and then turned and walked towards the women's changing room.

Now, she just wants to leave this place, this place that easily brings back bad memories for her.

"Laila—"

Edward spoke quickly to the physical education teacher, then stepped forward to catch up with Lyra.

"Are you really okay?" He looked at her obviously mentally unwell, and asked worriedly, "May I accompany you to the infirmary for a check?"

"No." Laila shook her head.

Edward frowned, "But your complexion doesn't look very good."

Lila sighed, stopped and turned to Edward, "It's not because of falling into the water just now, but..." She paused and changed the subject, "I don't quite understand, that Dinah, I don't even know She, why would she be hostile to me?"

So she was wondering about this question?

Edward recalled what he had just read from Dinah's head, and explained: "Because she likes Kevin, and Kevin once pursued you, and—" He paused, then continued reluctantly, "He still seems to have a crush on you, so..." He spread his hands.

"Kevin?" Laila's face showed a look called "dazed", "Who is he?"

"You don't remember him?"

"I have no memory," Laila shook her head honestly. "Did he really pursue me?"

"...Dinah thinks so."

"Oh."
