Obsession’s Edge

Chapter 13

As expected, no one came to claim the little kitten.

Lin Jinse thought for a while and went to ask Jian Lanyi and Zhang Qianhua for advice on whether this cat could be kept or not.

When they heard that Jian Yi actually agreed to let Lin Jinse keep the cat, they were all very surprised, as if they had heard something incredible.

Lin Jinse also learned that Jian Yishi was indeed allergic to cats, but it was very mild and only caused sneezing. He didn't like cats, mainly because he was mysophobic and hated having cat hair on his body.

In this way, Lin Jinse finally relaxed and raised the kitten, but in order not to affect Jian Yishi, she discussed it with Aunt Chen and decided to keep it with Aunt Chen. Aunt Chen and the others live in another house.

In the next few days, everyone could clearly feel that Lin Jinse was much happier.

In the courtyard, you can often hear Lin Jinse's clear call: "Lihua, come here, mother is here."

Then I heard the kitten’s meowing meow, and the bell on its neck jingled as it ran.

Speaking of the reason why the little milk cat was named Pear Blossom, Lin Jinse said that firstly, its fur is as white as snow and lives up to the name of Pear Blossom; secondly, it appeared under the pear tree and was related to Pear Blossom.

Whenever Lin Jinse sat alone under the pear tree in a daze, the little pear blossom would squat at her feet, nuzzling her feet from time to time and purring twice, and then Lin Jinse would pick it up and talk to it gently.

As the sun sets, one person and one cat sit under the bare tree, feeling less lonely.

On Friday afternoon, Lin Jinse got up after taking a nap, took a shower, changed her clothes, put on light makeup, and waited at home for Luo Wentao and the others to pick her up.

At about three o'clock, Luo Wentao and the others came. When they saw Lin Jinse, they were all amazed.

The three of them came here on motorcycles. Zhang Qianhua was worried about Lin Jinse taking their car, so she arranged for Uncle Wang to drive Lin Jinse there.

Arriving at the entrance of the Municipal Gymnasium, Luo Wentao said to Uncle Wang: "Uncle Wang, please go back first. We are going to play here all day."

Uncle Wang looked at Lin Jinse, who nodded to him, "Uncle Wang, I'll call you when I go home."

Uncle Wang then left.

"Hurry, the semi-finals are about to begin." Luo Wentao led Lin Jinse and the three of them into the gymnasium in a familiar manner and headed to the second floor.

The Ling Qing Cup Youth Men's Foil Semi-finals and Finals are held in the second competition hall on the second floor.

Luo Wentao opened the door and Lin Jinse saw that the competition hall was similar to a movie theater, but twice as big as an ordinary movie theater.

The stage directly opposite is the competition area. There is a glittering track with a big screen behind it and the audience seats are stepped from high to low.

"Our position is in the front." Luo Wentao pointed to the first row.

That’s the best seat in the entire auditorium, with five empty seats in the middle.

Lin Jinse followed Luo Wentao and the others to their location. Someone greeted them, and a boy secretly asked Luo Wentao: "Mosquito, who is such a beautiful beauty? Is she from our school?"

Another boy patted his head and said, "Silly, how could it be that she is from our school? If so, she must be the school beauty. How could we not have seen her before?"

Luo Wentao smiled mysteriously: "Guess."

Beiling Experimental High School selected 50 people to watch the competition on site through voluntary registration and then drawing lots.

Most of them were girls. When Luo Wentao and others appeared, they focused their attention on Lin Jinse and whispered.

Lin Jinse didn't care, there was no wave on his face, and he followed Luo Wentao and others to sit down.

Many girls came to Luo Wentao to inquire about Lin Jinse's identity, but Luo Wentao still looked like he had "no comment."

The lights suddenly dimmed, the lights on the competition stage came on, and then the music started.

The two referees led the four athletes onto the competition stage, and the audience burst into warm applause.

Jian Yishi was wearing a white fencing uniform, holding his helmet in one hand and holding a sword in the other. He followed two referees in black and took the lead on the stage.

The audience cheered again.

Lin Jinse almost couldn't help but cheer along. After all, the boy was really handsome. She remembered Lisa Dong's explanation and took out her phone to record a short video. Everyone was recording anyway.

The host first introduced Jian Yishi: "The first contestant is Jian Yishi from Beiling Experimental High School. He was the defending champion of the Ling Qing Cup last year and the year before last, and was also the champion of the provincial youth championship last year..."

When he was concise, he bowed to everyone. When he raised his head, he looked directly at Lin Jinse.

Lin Jinse's hand holding the phone trembled. She felt guilty for some reason and quickly put it down.

"Sister Jinse, why don't you record it? How about I record it for you and send it to you later." Luo Wentao is very discerning.

Lin Jinse whispered to him: "My friend is a big fan of Ah Shi. I recorded it for her to see, so I'll trouble you."

When Jian Yi saw Luo Wentao and Lin Jinse talking head to head, she couldn't help but frown.

After the host introduced the contestants one by one, he announced the start of the game, and everyone gradually became quiet.

According to the draw, the first match was between Zhao Zhi from Beiling No. 1 Middle School and Tan Kai from Beiling Experimental School. Jian Yishi did not follow another player to the rest area, but walked directly off the stage to the audience.

On Hou's left was Luo Wentao, and there was still an empty seat on his right. He stood up and sat on the empty seat, giving up his seat to Jian Yishi.

Jian Yishi walked between Luo Wentao and Lin Jinse, glanced at Luo Wentao coldly, then looked at the seat next to him, and motioned for him to sit over.

Luo Wentao had no choice but to sit over.

Jian Yi sat down between Luo Wentao and Lin Jinse.

It was a pity for Lin Jinse. Luo Wentao would talk to her from time to time when sitting next to her, chatting for a few words, so it would not be so awkward. Now Jian Yishi was sitting next to her, exuding a cold aura, making her feel on pins and needles.

Fortunately, the fencing competition on stage was more exciting, Lin Jinse's attention was attracted, and the awkward feeling gradually faded away.

She looked at it for a while and felt a little thirsty, so she took out a bottle of water from her backpack and twisted it twice but couldn't open it.

Lin Jinse was a little depressed. It would have been better if Luo Wentao was by her side. Now with Jian Yi on one side and Yang Yang on the other, the person on the left would not help her at all, and she was too embarrassed to ask for help from the person on the right.

Lin Jinse put down her hand dejectedly. Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the left, with slender fingers and a wide palm.

Lin Jinse turned around and looked over. Jian Yishi was sitting upright, with a straight posture, looking straight ahead, looking intently, but his hand was stretched out in front of her.

Lin Jinse didn't expect Jian Yi to take the initiative to help. She was stunned for a moment and put the water in his palm.

Jian Yi held it and looked down at the water in his hand. It was a certain brand of lemonade that he usually liked to drink, and a hint of warmth appeared in his stern eyebrows.

With a slight twist, he unscrewed the lid.

Lin Jinse: "..." It was obviously very tight. She had tried her best just now, but why did he unscrew it so easily?

She felt a little embarrassed, as if she couldn't unscrew it on purpose.

"Thank you." Lin Jinse reached out.

Jian Yishi looked at her lightly. She was wearing a white turtleneck sweater, high-waisted blue jeans, tucked into the pants, and a beige woolen coat. Her long black hair was draped over her shoulders, and she had a quiet and gentle temperament.

In the dim light, her skin seemed to be coated with a layer of white porcelain glaze, white and translucent, and her dark eyes were so clear and quiet that even if she was just sitting quietly, they were so vivid that they attracted people to look at her.

Jian Yi suddenly felt a little thirsty, and his throat slowly slid against his neck. He put the water to his lips, raised his head and took a sip.

Lin Jinse: "..."

I knew he wasn't that kind and he was just teasing her.

Seeing Lin Jinse's chest rise and fall slightly, her quiet eyes filled with vivid colors, Jian Yi felt that she looked better like this.

He took two sips of water, put it at his feet, and stretched out his hand towards her.

Lin Jinse looked at him with an unkind expression. He said quietly: "I'll open another bottle for you."

Lin Jinse did bring two bottles of water, one of which was indeed prepared for him. After thinking about it, he stopped being angry and took out another bottle from his backpack and handed it to him.

Jian Yi still unscrewed it easily and handed over the water.

Lin Jinse took it and thanked him softly.

Luo Wentao and Hou Xi naturally noticed the situation between Jian Yishi and Lin Jinse. They looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

They are all boys, so naturally they understand boys best. Jian Yi was clearly "teasing" his sister just now, and he had never helped a girl twist a bottle cap before. This was the first time.

Soon the game on the stage was over. Jian Yishi handed the water he had drank a few sips to the side. Lin Jinse took it, and he got up and walked to the stage.

The individual foil competition is divided into three rounds, each round lasts three minutes. The first to score 15 points wins, or at the end of three rounds, the side with the higher score wins.

Jian Yi’s opponent was Yao Senhua from Beiling No. 2 Middle School.

Luo Wentao moved over and said to Lin Jinse: "Yao Senhua learned swordplay at the age of 5. He can be considered Ah Shi's senior. He was the runner-up in last year's Ling Qing Cup. Unfortunately, he was unlucky today and met Ah Shi early."

Lin Jinse looked at the competition stage. Jian Yishi was already standing on the track. He slowly raised his helmet and put it on his head. He walked towards his opponent step by step and stood about two meters away from his opponent.

He moved his left ankle and then his right ankle, stretched out his hand to hold the tip of his sword and bent it. Then with the referee's shout of "Everyone in position, get ready", he squatted slightly and took a ready posture.

Lin Jinse watched him doing this series of preparatory movements, which were cool and cool, and his heartbeat inexplicably accelerated.

She somewhat understood Dong Lisa's mood. He was already fascinated by him before he even started fencing.

The referee gave the order: "Start!"

Jian Yi just lunged forward and launched an attack with lightning speed. Before his opponent could react, he lost 1 point.

The audience cheered and shouted, and Lin Jinse couldn't help but reach out and cover his chest, feeling its strong beating.

After one round, Jian Yishi easily scored 10 points, but the opponent didn't get a single point.

There were cheers and boos in the audience. Some people mocked Yao Senhua for being too dishonest, but most people knew that Jian Yi was too strong.

The game ended at 15:2, with a total time of 5 minutes.

Then Yao Senhua played against Tan Kai and won the third place with 15:10, finally regaining some face.

Immediately afterwards came the championship match between Jian Yishi and Zhao Zhi. There was no suspense. Jian Yishi won the game 15:5 in three rounds with his superb swordsmanship.

He fully lived up to his reputation as a foil swordsman, with elegant movements and fierce attacks. The competition stage became a stage for him to show off his skills.

In the end, he led Beiling Experimental High School to win the first place medal in the team.

The school leaders of Beiling Experimental High School personally came to congratulate Jian Yi and said that the school had prepared a celebration banquet for the fencing team, which was attended by all the fencing team members, coaches, and family members of the team members.

The school girls who were watching the game cheered and screamed, "Master Jian! Master Jian!"

Qin Banruo, as a representative, held flowers in his hands, went to the stage to present flowers to Jian Yi, and asked: "Ah Shi, will you go to the celebration banquet later?"

"I'm not going." Jian Yishi said coldly.

Qin Banruo instantly understood that they had their own arrangements. She wanted to say something else, but Jian Yishi didn't give her a chance. She walked straight off the stage with her arms in her arms and walked towards Lin Jinse.

Lin Jinse was talking to Luo Wentao and Hou Xi when a shadow suddenly enveloped them. A handful of flowers were shoved in front of her, and she hugged them subconsciously.

She raised her head and saw the young man wearing a gray-white fencing uniform, with eyebrows like distant mountains and eyes like peach blossoms. Even wearing such light-colored clothes could not hide the beauty between his eyebrows.

Jian Yishi stood in front of Luo Wentao and others, but her eyes only fell on Lin Jinse. Her eyes were too dark and clear, "Wait for me. I'll go change clothes."
