Remaining Traces

Drop by drop from the bottle.

However, being trapped in the sterilized plastic tube, there is no way to make a sound at the bottom of the water, so it can only be silent and repeat a process.

Flowed from the bottle, then dripped down.

Infusion standCaught and run around by its user, who held a cane in his other hand, she stumbled all the way from her room to the French windows.

Along the way, no one dared to stop her, and no one dared to dissuade her.

Although the cold wave outside has passed, it doesn’t mean that the temperature in the Arctic Circle has eased, so this restless one-legged lady can’t go out yet.

So someone grabbed her arm that was on crutches.

“Ambolis, where are you going?”

Kiyomizu Temple’s voice was quite cold, but even so, there was still a heavy breath in the air.

Amberis turned her head in despair, her teeth were chattering due to muscle contraction, and her hand holding the crutch was shaking with anger.

“I’m going to find Huang Hai, I’m going to find our companion!” She was almost crying, but there were no tears rolling down her eyes, only anger and remorse.

“I’m only one victory away from tying the score between the two of us! I’m going to fight back for this game…!”

She writhed as if she couldn’t control her body, trying to shake off Kiyomizu Temple’s grip on her, but it was already difficult for her to control her body and emotions.

Kiyomizu Temple didn’t answer Amberis’s words immediately. She let go of her hand as the other party wished. When Amberis was about to leave, Kiyomizu Temple suddenly slapped her across the face.

The crisp sound erupted together with the anger of Yamato Nadeko. Kiyomizu Temple exuded a terrifying and oppressive aura. She looked down at Amberis who was knocked down to the ground.

“If you want to die, stand in front of Chi Yuan and block all the shells for her, and it won’t be too late to die.”

She said such harsh words, but her fists were trembling slightly: “Huang Hai is dead.”

“Enough shut up! She’s still alive! She’s waiting for me to find her to equalize!”

Amberis started waving her arms like crazy. She didn’t care that the needles in her hands were ripped off by herself, and she didn’t care about the pain of the severed limb.

“She’s not dead! She’s a retired navy! She knows what she’s going to do on the battlefield! She fought against the deep sea for several years when she was human!”

While talking, Amberis supported the wall. She tried her best to support her body and stood up on one foot.

Shaky, frightened heart.

Amberis grabbed Kiyomizu Temple by the collar, her eyes were red, and she looked as scary as an ogre: “If we retreat sooner! If I retreat sooner—!”

“Ambolis, if you want to say that you killed Huang Hai, then I’m really very disappointed.”

Kiyomizu Temple stretched out her hand and grabbed Amberis’s arm, her expression was full of sorrow: “Yellow Sea… didn’t die for you, nor for the sky, let alone for a certain person.

“She died because she lived for what she cherished. Don’t insult her death, Amberis.”

Throwing away Amberis who was already in a daze, Kiyomizu Temple frowned and lowered his head.

Amberis, who was once cheerful and extremely positive in his way of thinking, had already died when Huang Hai was silent.

Chiyuan is the same.

When will it be my turn? Thinking so, Kiyomizu Temple turned around and left without looking back.

“Ambolis, my wish is that I can defend my motherland.”

Huang Hai once said this to Amberis when he and Huang Hai were quietly competing in the school’s waters. At this moment, these remembered conversations flooded Ampolis’ mind again.

“I hope that my motherland will not be bullied by others again. As her strength and her pride, I can walk to the last moment of my life with my head held high.”

“why?”

“Because that is my motherland, Amberlis. It is the motherland that raised our Chinese civilization with its battered body. I don’t need a reason to protect her, that’s all.”

——I don’t understand, Huang Hai, I don’t understand your pride in your motherland.

I’m so disappointed in a country like mine. I can’t understand how great your motherland is. Although it’s selfish to say that, Huang Hai…

I don’t want you to die.

Amberis, lying alone in front of the French window, burst into tears.

——

The room was surprisingly quiet.

The pioneer silently sorted out everything related to the Yellow Sea and the sky.

Huang Hai has a lot of things. The books she brought filled a whole suitcase, which took a lot of time for the pioneers and the upstream team.

But Tianmu, she has very few things.

Two or three sets of clothes, some daily toiletries, a comb, and then nothing.

Her life was as simple as if it didn’t exist, and the pioneer couldn’t help recalling the things before she broke up with Fenghuolin.

At that time, Tianmu was already such a person.

Perhaps, as everyone said, Tianmu’s heart had already died during that deep sea attack.

Thinking of this, she silently picked up the wooden comb in the box, but she did not expect to wear a very beautiful red ribbon because of it.

A golden badge was tied on the ribbon. The pioneers wiped the surface of the badge and found that it was a button on the Fenghuolin cloak.

…Did she still fail to speak out after all?

Wanting to fight side by side with Feng Huanhuo Forest instead of being protected – such words are obviously almost uttered.

“Tick tock.”

The warm water fell on the wooden floor beside the pioneer. She raised her head in astonishment, but sawYou Yihao stood beside him blankly, staring at the ribbon in his hand.

She obviously knows who the owner of this ribbon is, or in other words – she taught Tianmu the style and stitching skills of this ribbon.

The original good memories turned into sharp blades, and fell into the mind of No. 1 upstream.

“No. 1…” The pioneer wanted to say something to comfort her, but upstream No. 1 had already raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and brought over the box placed on the bed.

“Don’t put it on Sister Fenghuolin’s cloak, Sister Tianmu must think so too.”

She tried her best to endure her crying, opened the box, put the wooden comb in, and then closed the box.

“Although it may not match well with the cloak, it can be used as a tie. If Sister Tianmu knows about it, she will be very happy.”

She was silent as she spoke, until finally, the pioneer put down the ribbon in his hand, and hugged the girl beside him.

The two of them did not speak. They leaned against each other, wiping the wound with tears.

“Yes, Fenghuolin, being loved by Tianmu, is really happy.” The pioneer said so.
