C11 I Admit I Was Tempted

The gorgeous crystal lamp cast a faint and gentle light, making the entire dining room appear tranquil and elegant. Soft saxophone music fills the entire restaurant, like an invisible smoke flowing in the restaurant, slowly takes over your mind, lets you relaxed a little, peace.

The customers eating in silence, the courteous waiter had a bright professional smile on his face, he called out "Seventh Young Master" and "Mr. Yi", inviting the two into a room. Within the private room, a faint zen fragrance could be smelled, almost indiscernible... Along with the quiet and elegant music, it unknowingly smoothed out the irritable and uneasy heart.

Through the huge window, he could see the elderly, children, and young lovers playing and skating on the frozen river surface.

Qi Qi drew his gaze away from the people playing on the frozen river. He glanced at Yi Ouhua, whose face was cold and expressionless, and moved his lips as if he wanted to say something. In the end, he just lowered his eyes, raised his hand and took a sip of the eye-catching dark blue drink on the table.

After a moment of silence, Qi Qi spoke once again, a faint and unhurried smile hung on his face as he said with a melodious voice, "At that time, when Wu Tie's fist was about to reach me, I stepped to the side …" Qi Qi squinted his eyes. While recalling the scene of his fight with Berserker, he told Yi Ouhua at a moderate pace.

At the end of his sentence, he turned around and looked at Yi Ouhua: "I've always felt that something was wrong there, but I can't figure out what's wrong …"

"Not enough combat experience." The moment Qi Qi finished his sentence, Yi Ouhua spoke, resolute and decisive.

"Practical experience?" Qi Qi slightly frowned and looked a little absent-minded.

"Yes, experience." After a short pause, Yi Ouhua spoke again: "For example, this step... "If you're experienced, you'll know that you should move forward instead of sidestepping; and here..."

Very soon, the two of them entered a state of complete oblivion.

Therefore, when the restaurant manager personally led the waiter and carried the dishes outside, no one answered for a long time. In the end, he was forced to open the door and entered, only to see a handsome immortal and a breathtakingly beautiful demon sitting face to face, their bodies leaning forward and their eyes focused on Berserker as they discussed Berserker's matters, completely oblivious to themselves.

The restaurant manager apologized again and again. Finally, he tactfully put down the fragrant delicacies and left with the waiter in a hurry.

"Teacher, let's eat first."

Perhaps because the restaurant manager thought that Qi Qi was the Qi Family Seventh Young Master, he specially placed the plate of lobster, which was a signature dish, in front of Qi Qi.

After the restaurant manager and the others left, Qi Qi pushed the alluring lobster in front of Yi Ouhua and said, "Teacher, you should taste their lobster. It's very tasty." Because Qi Family Five said it was very impolite to use his slobbering chopsticks to pick up other people's food, so Qi Family's people usually would not pick the dishes for others.

"Yes." Monosyllabic.

Qi Qi was used to it, so he ate his own food without batting an eyelid. Occasionally, he would say a few words, but it would just be "Teacher, eat more." That kind of advice.

Soon, he finished his meal, paid the bill, and left.

Other than the restaurant, Yi Ouhua didn't intend to go to the parking lot to pick up his car. Qi Qi frowned as he thought about it, but in the end, he couldn't help but ask Yi Ouhua: "Teacher, do you have any other matters?"

"Let's go to the river!"

In the restaurant, a flash of longing in Qi Qi's eyes was clearly seen by Yi Ouhua. Anyway, when he went back, he was going to explain it to Qi Qi. It was the same as by the river, so the effect might be better.

On the other hand, when Qi Qi heard Yi Ouhua's words, he was startled. Glimmers danced in his eyes and he was stunned for a moment.

His heart trembled slightly as if something broke out of its shell. His gaze fell onto Yi Ouhua's cold face that was like an ice sculpture and his expression changed. He was lost in his thoughts … Finally, all of them turned into a slight elegant smile, "Thank you!"

Yi Ouhua glanced at him, but didn't say anything.

The two walked side by side, talking as they walked.

No wind flowers, no snow moon, no gossip.

Qi Qi slowly explained to Yi Ouhua the moves he used during the battle in a low voice. Although Yi Ouhua still had a cold expression on his face after hearing this, but he would very seriously point out Qi Qi's strengths and weaknesses. Then he would analyze the reasons one by one and tell Qi Qi the most correct ones.

Qi Qi pricked up his ears and listened attentively. Afterwards, he brought Yi Ouhua's words into the scenes of the battle. In his mind, he recalled the scene of the battle …

After some comparison, he realized that the method Yi Ouhua told him was much more astute than his own reaction and actions at that time. If he fought according to Yi Ouhua's method, not only would he be able to injure Berserker to the maximum extent, he would also be able to save a lot of strength. To the Exorcist, having a little more strength meant having a better chance of survival.

Yi Ouhua's words were like a gush of wisdom to Qi Qi, opening Qi Qi's mouth.

The feelings in his heart were expressed on his face, and the light smile on his face became thicker bit by bit. Finally, the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably, but only a few words of thanks remained, "Thank you, Teacher."

At this moment, he could only say, "Thank you!" Being able to express Qi Qi's mixed feelings.

Yi Ouhua nodded in agreement. He glanced at Qi Qi's injured left leg and pointed at the big block by the river. "Go and have a seat over there."

Qi Qi followed his gaze and found countless dark heads by the river. Although it wasn't as crowded as the New Year's Square, there were definitely a lot of them. The place where they were standing was already so, not to mention the place where they were sitting. The only few large blocks were all filled with people. There were also quite a few people surrounding them. This … Where to sit?

Qi Qi turned around and looked at Yi Ouhua, only to see Yi Ouhua already striding towards the big block by the river.

As if he had guessed Yi Ouhua's thoughts, Qi Qi curled his lips into an interested smile and followed suit. As soon as he walked over, he heard Yi Ouhua say to the girl in a not so cold but not polite tone, "My friend's leg is injured, can you give up your seat?" His tone was a bit stiff.

"…" Is he looking for a scolding?

Qi Qi's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Just as he expected, before the girl could say anything, his boyfriend who was standing at the side stopped talking and said, "Are you f * cking crazy!?" His tone was fierce and full of vigor.

Seeing this, Qi Qi sighed and quickly pushed through the crowd. He grabbed Yi Ouhua and said, "Old …" Realizing that it wasn't a good idea to call him teacher, he hurriedly swallowed the word "teacher" down his throat before saying, "I'm fine, there's no need to sit." Then he turned around and said to the girl, "Sorry."

Then he turned around and dragged Yi Ouhua away.

Unexpectedly, Yi Ouhua didn't move. Qi Qi's hand was holding Yi Ouhua's sleeve loosely. The tug of his hand slid down his fingers, and for a split-second, their hands inevitably touched. The moment their fingers touched, Qi Qi subconsciously shook off Yi Ouhua's hand. His face changed and he hid his trembling hand inside the wide sleeves of his down jacket and clenched it tightly. His heart was already in turmoil.

His heart was in turmoil, but his expression was calm and collected. He turned around and pointed at a spot not far away where there were fewer people. "Where are we going?"

Before he finished his sentence, he had already fallen down.

The one grabbing Qi Qi's pants was a seven or eight-year-old boy. He was skating on the river, but who knew that he would accidentally fall. Seeing that he was about to fall, he instinctively grabbed onto whatever he could grab and grabbed the leg of Qi Qi, who was the closest to him.

Normally, with Qi Qi's sensitive senses, he would have already noticed the child's actions. However, his mood was in turmoil just now. He didn't react until the child grabbed his trouser leg and fell down as well.

Quickly, he bent sideways to avoid the tragic fate of slamming his head against the cement embankment by the river. When he came back to his senses, he found that his pants were still tightly clutched in the child's hands while the child was still sliding forward due to inertia.

"Be careful!" Although Yi Ouhua didn't move, he still warned him subconsciously.

The reason for reminding him was because he was worried, and didn't help him, but was because if he didn't even have that little ability, how could he be a Exorcist? How to defeat the cruel Berserker?

Qi Qi didn't let Yi Ouhua down. He tapped the surface of the river with his fingertips, stood up and leaned backwards, his figure leaving an afterimage in the cold wind. He bent down to pick up the boy who was grabbing onto his pants tightly.

Then...

The moment his feet landed on the ground, a cracking sound could be heard. The ice under Qi Qi's feet had cracked open, and he fell into the river as expected.

In a moment of desperation, Wu Tie forcefully threw the child in his arms towards Yi Ouhua, forcefully cutting off Yi Ouhua's step to save him. Yi Ouhua quickly moved his gaze away from Qi Qi. He stood up and stretched out his hand to catch the boy Qi Qi threw over. Then he spun in the air and fell back to his original place.

The child fainted but was unharmed.

The surrounding people were all shouting in surprise, but this time … Yi Ouhua felt that the voices of these people were annoying. His originally cold face turned even darker as it was dyed with ice.

He raised his arms and rudely threw the child into the arms of the woman closest to him. Then, he coldly said, "You, hug him." He had already crossed the river and landed in front of Qi Qi.

What he saw was Qi Qi climbing out of the river with his mouth pursed. The feathered coat hat on his head fell off due to the somersault just now, and it hung on his shoulder in a disorderly way, as if he was helpless. He was wearing a clean white down jacket, but his pants were already soaked through. Drops of water were dripping off his pants.

There was a gaping hole at his feet, left by a fisherman who'd fished, and it wasn't big enough to fit a man's legs into his hips.

The winter of Lingchuan made the water turn into ice, making it extremely cold.

Just two minutes after Qi Qi climbed out of the river, his pants turned into a hard Popsicle. When he moved his feet, the cold and hard, cold, and tender skin on his legs was extremely painful.

The temperature of his legs dropped bit by bit, until his legs became stiff and his face became luxurious. Wu Tie endured the bone-piercing pain in his leg. He felt a bit sad, but he couldn't open his mouth to ask Yi Ouhua to help him. He could only bear with the pain as he moved his stiff legs.

"Those people who swim in the river in the winter are great." As he spoke, he lifted his frozen legs and smiled bitterly. "I fell into the river for a while and then I just can't leave. They can still swim in the river."

For a split-second, even someone as calm as Yi Ouhua had the urge to slap him. His eyes saw someone swimming in winter in this -20 degrees celsius weather.

Did he think this was a city with four seasons like spring?

Even though he was very handsome in his heart, Yi Ouhua's expression was still like the bone-piercing icicles of winter. His eyes were filled with calmness and even a bit of anger was added to the iciness.

Pursing his lips with a cold expression, he quickly and cleanly took off the beige windbreaker on his body. Before Wu Tie could react, a warm feeling spread across his bone-chilling body. It was Yi Ouhua Shang's warm jacket and arm around his waist.

Qi Qi was so cold that his legs were trembling. He was stunned by Yi Ouhua's actions and let him wrap his coat around himself and hug …
