On the day of the birthday, the temperature was terrifyingly minus forty-five degrees.

The Qile people were not afraid of the cold, and they wanted to wear a thick cloak to avoid being too eye-catching. At the site of the baptism in winter, he watched the disciples of the hermits dig the ice.

The glacier swimming lane is hundreds of meters long. Standing at the starting point and looking forward, there is a huge ice cross at the end, towering towering under the aurora of extreme nights, like a lighthouse at the end of the world.

From the perspective of a designer, Qi Leren felt that the design was very religious and profound. He could fully imagine how shocked a believer who had worked hard to complete the baptism in winter would feel when climbing up the river bank and witnessing this majestic cross.

The piety is 100, and it is directly full.

Lance also came to watch the ceremony and reported good news to Qi Leren: "Ning Zhou passed the last round of secret realm test."

Qi Leren smiled with relief: "That's great."

"Let's go, the venue is cleared near the starting point. Let's go to the cross at the end point to wait for him." Lance said.

The Qileren looked back and saw from a distance that the monks of the Secretariat were cleaning the grounds, and the contestants who participated in the winter baptism were walking here.

He saw Ning Zhou in the crowd at a glance and couldn't help but smile and wave to him.

Ning Zhou must have seen him too, but the customs of the Holy See made him not wave his hand to respond to such a move, but nodded at Qi Leren from afar.

The Qilemen walked away with confidence. When they arrived at the cross at the end, he talked with Reims about being baptized in winter.

"I heard that when the Holy See was still in the Holy City, baptism in winter was a mass activity?" he asked.

"Yes, the climate in the Holy City is warm, and winter swimming is nothing. Look at the temperature today. It's so hard that only one of your pants left to jump into the ice. This will really lead to death." Lance said, rubbing his arm with a hideous face, as if he never takes off his body.

This made Qi Leren worry. He originally thought that being baptized in winter was just a piece of cake for Ning Zhou, but now he was starting to worry about the contestants who were caught by the monks due to cramps and drowning in the glacier.

"My body can't stand it," Lance whispered.

"It's not just the body, but more importantly, faith and will. If there is no obsession in the heart, people cannot surpass their limits." Qi Leren looked at the distant starting point, and Ning Zhou took off the blanket wrapped around his body, revealing the young man's slender and flexible body, like a sculpture in the ice and snow.

The cold wind was blowing, and he walked along the ice sculpture steps into the long river of ice and snow.

Qi Leren held his breath and searched for his figure in the water nervously, but he didn't know that Ning Zhou in the water was the same.

It was too cold. After it was extremely cold, he felt that the water was warm, because every time he floated to the surface to ventilate, it was as if he was tortured in the extremely cold hell. Every mouthful of air was as cold as a blade. He felt that he freezed again and again when he breathed, and shook the frost and snow on his skin in the water again and again.

His companions lost the desire to struggle in the extreme cold, and let the cold sink with them.

But he still longed to the moment when it surfaced, his eyes looked through the frosted eyelashes and looked at the looking forward figure under the cross at the end.

At that moment, the gentle love melted in his heart like a surging hot spring, and there seemed to be some deep power deep in his heart, awakening little by little.

Qi Leren looked solemn. He knew that Ning Zhou's heart was sealed with one-third of the crystal of the Demon King of Destruction in his heart, but now the seal should be very solid. Why did the origin of destruction overflow? Was it the injury left by fighting with the devil in the tavern not long ago?

Does it necessary to condense half of the domain as soon as possible so that Ning Zhou can suppress the seal in his heart?

But Qi Leren really didn't want to watch Ning Zhou was wasting his time on the road that was doomed to be wrong.

"Hey..." Qi Leren sighed, compressed Ning Zhou's forehead with ice, and asked softly, "Do I tell you the truth? If you were asked to choose, what would you choose?"

On the table not far away, the candles on the birthday cake were almost burned, and Qi Leren blew out the candles.

Snowflakes were flying outside the window, and in the falling snow, Qi Leren saw the signal - a bubble flying by lightly, floating in the wind, floating in the wind, and finally fell gently in front of the window of the dormitory.

The tower of the Sepulchre is secretly summoning him, and it is time to welcome the secret.

Qi Leren took out his prepared birthday gift and pressed it under Ning Zhou's pillow.

"Although the painting is not as good as you, it's still acceptable." Qi Leren whispered to defend himself.

He had a foundation in sketching, but he had never been careful in this area before. In order to draw this painting, he secretly "cheated" and took out the photos taken with Ning Zhou in the dusk land, and drew them in front of them, and then drew a painting that was as good as it was. He also named the painting "To the Future" to explain why they looked more mature than they are now.

"I finally celebrated your birthday with you, but unfortunately you are sick. It's so much trouble." Qi Leren bent down and kissed Ning Zhou gently on the cheek.

"But no matter what... Happy 16th birthday, my dear Ning Zhou. I hope that every day in the future will be happier than before."

Qi Leren was about to withdraw, but when he turned around, he was pulled over the corner of his clothes.

He was shocked all over and turned his head suddenly.

Ning Zhou closed his eyes, his cheeks were red, and he said in a daze: "Don't leave...Don't leave me."

Even when he was in a drowsy state, his soul had a premonition of the pain of being about to part and tried to keep it.

Qi Leren couldn't take any steps, his heart was sucking slightly, and he wanted to be with Ning Zhou and never parted for a moment.

The next second, he was shocked by Ning Zhou's dreamy words.

Ning Zhou, who was burning in a daze, murmured and said the sentence he shouldn't have said, and he wouldn't have said—

"I like you."

Qi Leren held his breath and couldn't believe what he heard.

"So you know it yourself," he murmured, "but this time, we have no gender misunderstandings, and I have not followed you and confessed my love. So why do you still 'knowingly'?"

When he returned to Ning Zhou's childhood memories, he took the friendship route, but it still triggered the emotional line. They always met, always attracted each other, and finally achieved each other.

Ning Zhou, who was sick, couldn't give him an answer.

Deep in his chaotic consciousness, only whispers from the soul echo:

"I love you."
