Chapter 32: A Gentleman Desires a Beauty
What else could I do? I could only smile and admit it was my fault.
“Yes, yes, it’s all my fault, all my fault…”
“He’s just Angaygay, and he dares to show off.”
What nonsense was Angaygay? But I could tell Lianbing was just making something up to hide her shyness.
I scratched my cheek, feeling a bit happy, but I still brought up the confusing question first.
“Uh, well, I just said it without thinking too much. It’s your reaction that makes me curious. Didn’t you hate me?”
“Hehehe, I can’t explain it myself. Because I was dumped, I developed a hatred born from love?”
“That reaction doesn’t look like hatred born from love.”
“So, it’s love and hate for you?”
“That’s indeed a complicated feeling.”
At this moment, Lianbing finally calmed down, but the blush on her cheeks hadn’t completely faded.
Lianbing turned sideways and opened the classroom window, letting the wind blow her hair to one side. The twilight light happened to fall on her, making her glow beautifully.
I couldn’t help but think that perhaps this was the color that suited her – not pure black symbolizing death, but the twilight color that shone as the last rays of life.
Twilight, young miss, is truly breathtaking.
“It’s… complicated. If I truly loved you, I… would…”
“You would want to kill me and preserve my corpse?”
Lianbing narrowed her eyes, her tone and gaze turning hostile. If this were a manga scene, her background would surely be completely black, and her pupils would have highlights.
It was no wonder she reacted like this, with such a secret, known by almost no one, suddenly revealed by me.
“Don’t be surprised. I’ve known for a long time that you confessed to me because you were interested in my body.”
That was indeed the reason Lianbing initially approached me.
It was love, in a way, but twisted and deformed, dedicated only to corpses.
*Hohoku Light Novel*
Lianbing shouldn’t have any special feelings for me as a person.
“Did Shirley tell you?”
“Huh? Why would you mention Miss Shirley?”
“Because Shirley seems very familiar with you, and… anyway, she came to find you alone, right?”
“I am very familiar with Miss Shirley, but she didn’t tell me about this.”
“Then how did you know? Based on your answer, I’ll choose your cause of death.”
Oh, killing intent is surfacing.
It’s still as chilling as ever.
“So I told you, it’s because of you. I know everything about you.”
Her face turned red again.
How interesting.
I couldn’t help but laugh.
Then Lianbing’s face immediately darkened, likely realizing she was being teased.
“Hehehe, Juncheng, have you decided how you want to die?”
“Ah, wait, wait. I was teasing you a bit, but I wasn’t lying.”
“Can I interpret that as you falling in love with me?”
“Of course.”
As soon as I answered, Lianbing released her hand from my collar. I could tell she was trying hard to calm herself down.
“But I still hate you now.”
“Huh? Why?”
“I don’t know either. I suddenly started to hate you… But as if resisting this feeling of hate, another feeling inexplicably appeared to counteract it.”
“Oh, is that the feeling of liking me?”
*F SF Light Novel*
“So, don’t misunderstand my previous reaction. This is just a symptom, like an immune response.”
After being warned, the Young Miss seemed unwilling to admit that the expression she had just shown was driven by emotion.
I didn’t dare to joke about it anymore. Lianbing’s pride was too strong. If she rejected this feeling excessively again like last time, it was hard to guarantee that she wouldn’t have another split personality.
Although I personally would have liked to see Ruansui again, it was better to ensure her mental stability for Lianbing’s sake.
If she awakened as a Witch of Calamity due to a split personality before re-establishing our fated connection, it would be a disaster.
“This is, indeed, a very unpleasant feeling.”
It’s probably like the vague feeling of past life memories that Yu Hui and I have. It makes one feel like they’re not themselves…
At this moment, I remembered my conversation with Li Nai. Re-establishing our fated connection and restoring their memories was equivalent to restoring past life memories, wasn’t it?
Is this really okay? Am I making the same mistake again…
“Ah, it’s alright. What’s wrong?”
“How dare you space out while talking to me… Anyway, what I wanted to say is, this feeling of hating you, Juncheng, seems to have appeared out of nowhere. I don’t think it’s my own emotion.”
Oh, you mean you think someone might be setting a trap for you?
Lianbing nodded and looked at me very seriously.
“That’s right. I want to find the instigator. The Ji Family’s motto is ‘If someone offends me, I will repay them a hundredfold.'”
The Young Miss exuded a stern aura. Anyone who dared to provoke Lianbing was truly tired of living.
But why would she come to me about this?
Wouldn’t Miss Shirley handle everything for her own Young Miss?
*SF Light Novel*
“Didn’t you ask Miss Shirley?”
“Shirley told me to come find you. Hehehe, it’s really the first time she’s refused my request. She pushed me away like kicking a ball and even forbade me from using the Ji Family’s power.”
She seemed quite resentful, but Miss Shirley wasn’t an ordinary maid. To Lianbing, she was more like a tutor, and even like a mother.
So even if Shirley didn’t help her, Lianbing wouldn’t dare to act out.
Oh, Miss Shirley asked Lianbing to come find me… She’s creating an opportunity for me!
Oh yes! Let’s go for it! : =
I must seize such a rare opportunity!
However, I didn’t have the initiative at all. Lianbing leaned close to me again and directly pulled my school uniform tie.
“You said before that you wanted to lick me, right?”
“Cough… uh…”
“I don’t want to know the reason. You just need to answer yes or no.”
“…,… …….”
“There’s no ‘but’. If you help me find this person, I’ll let you lick me.”
“I think I should explain. I didn’t want to lick you, but to find the mark on you. The reason for licking is because my mark is on my tongue.”
I stuck out my tongue, concentrated my Destiny Power, and showed Lianbing the cross mark on my tongue. Lianbing merely glanced at it and said disdainfully,
“Oh? Are you trying to justify your actions? However, this doesn’t change the fact that you want to do perverted things to me, hehehehe.”
“I’m not, I didn’t…”
“That’s enough. The more you explain, the more I’ll look down on you. Just tell me if you agree or not.”
I didn’t answer immediately but fell silent. Cl 工 ‘ d匹
Honestly, with such good terms, I had no reason to refuse Lianbing. My main mission now was to quickly restore my connection with the Four Disaster Witches and find Lou Ling’s Fated Witch, Xi’er.
But because I had thought about past lives just now, I hesitated for a moment. Of course, this hesitation was only from self-doubt. I knew very well that I couldn’t turn back now. At least I was on the side of the world, wasn’t I?
So, it was just a brief hesitation. I definitely didn’t have any ulterior motives.
But in Lianbing’s eyes, it was different.
“Not enough bargaining chips?”
Uh, I didn’t say that.
“Hehehe, alright. Shirley told me that you, Juncheng, seem to be a pervert for maids.”
Don’t expose someone’s fetish in front of them… I’m just a little interested in maids, in an appreciative sense.
“Then, an additional bargaining chip. I can call you ‘Master’ and serve you in a maid outfit for a week.”
Really?
The Young Miss of the Ji Family in a maid outfit, serving me for a week?
Who would believe this if it were said out loud… Anyone who saw it would probably doubt if they were dreaming.
Could such a dreamlike thing happen?
But this is taking advantage of her… A gentleman is open and aboveboard, how could I…
“Hehehe, for a month.”
“Deal!”
I’m sorry, Li Guo Nü Chu Wu Jun Mao Hao Shu +
It felt so good to have Lianbing call me Master!
