Chapter 444: Confession
The girl version of Ruo’er is way more considerate than her loli form.
This consideration comes from both her personality and physical presence.
In terms of personality, she’s gentle and caring, able to tell Lin Nuo’s needs just by looking at his expression.
Pouring tea, fetching water, giving massages—she showcases the skills of an exceptional maid.
Physically, her presence is simply caring, her body closer to Lin Nuo than ever.
Her hands rest on Lin Nuo’s shoulders as she lightly leans forward, her face hovering near his.
A fragrant aura surrounds her, and her silvery hair cascades softly over his shoulders. As Lin Nuo turns his head, he’s greeted by her pure, radiant face. Her big, soulful eyes sparkle playfully, making her even more charming and cute, igniting an overwhelming urge to kiss her.
“Master, how do you feel? You worked hard in your training!”
“Mm.”
He doesn’t resist Ruo’er’s presence; rather, he enjoys it.
“Master, have some grapes. They’re really fresh!”
Ruo’er presents a plate of grapes she just washed. They look fresh, with a splendid color that stirs one’s appetite.
“Master, here, let me feed you!”
Ruo’er brings a grape to Lin Nuo’s lips. Normally, he would refuse, thinking he could feed himself, but today is different. He doesn’t hesitate; instead, he opens his mouth and lets Ruo’er feed him.
The grapes are sweet, and with her delightful smile, the sweetness lingers from mouth to heart—without being too cloying.
“Master, are the grapes good?”
“Pretty good.”
Lin Nuo nods,
“More, please.”
“Mm-mm! Okay!”
Ruo’er continues to smile as she feeds him grapes, and Lin Nuo, in turn, relishes this double sweetness of grapes and Ruo’er’s smile.
It’s sweet yet not overwhelming, helping him forget all past hardships.
“Master, are you hot? Let me fan you!”
Ruo’er pulls out a small fan with their portraits and a large pink heart in the center.
“No need, I’m not hot. You don’t have to fuss. Just sit down.”
“Alright, alright!”
Ruo’er obediently sits beside Lin Nuo, her fluffy silver ears and tails wagging excitedly.
Like a beloved pet clinging to its owner, she radiates joy and excitement.
She sits there, wearing a radiant smile, her gaze never leaving Lin Nuo.
As if he’s her entire world; she just wants to keep her eyes on him.
“We have so much fruit; you should eat some too.”
“Mm-mm, okay.”
While keeping her eyes on Lin Nuo, Ruo’er eats a grape, feeling its sweetness flood her heart—a lingering aftertaste.
“You can do your own things; you don’t need to stay here all the time.”
“Does Master not welcome me?”
Upon hearing this, Ruo’er’s ears and tail droop, as if she’s been scolded or rejected.
“I do welcome you; it’s just that you should rest when you’re busy, no need to serve me so diligently since your work is tiring too,” Lin Nuo explains.
“Oh, I see!”
Ruo’er’s ears and tail perk up again, filled with hope.
Master is caring about me!
She continues to chuckle softly:
“No, Master, I’m not tired. I just want to be with you!”
“There’s no need to take it that far as a servant.”
“It’s not because I’m a servant!”
Ruo’er suddenly takes Lin Nuo’s hand and beams, saying:
“Because I like you, Master. I hope to be with you forever!”
“For a servant to please their master, I can understand.”
“No! I really like you, Master! Not just for serving you. It’s a true feeling, the kind that yearns for everlasting companionship. I hope we’ll be together until the sea runs dry and the rocks decay.”
Ruo’er responds firmly, without a hint of hesitation or insincerity.
She takes Lin Nuo’s hand and places it against her soft cheek.
“I like you the most, Master. I only want to be with you forever.”
Faced with Ruo’er’s heartfelt confession, Lin Nuo is stunned, rendered speechless for a moment.
A stunning silver-haired fox maid is confessing her feelings; this overwhelming sweetness makes his heart race, making it hard to refuse.
His thoughts swirl—he usually handles various situations with ease, yet now he’s at a loss for words.
Because he finds her stunning, and her confession is sweet, he has no intention of rejecting her.
However, his style won’t allow him to accept it outright, throwing his thoughts into chaos.
“Master.”
Ruo’er leans closer, gently brushing aside her hair, and says sweetly:
“Master, Ruo’er loves you.”
As the words leave her lips, Ruo’er’s soft pink lips meet Lin Nuo’s, like a flood of sweet spring water rushing in, and he revels in this extreme sweetness.
A maid kissing her master is a breach of propriety. Lin Nuo should scold her, but he doesn’t; instead, he even pulls her into his embrace as the little silver fox maid joyfully lunges toward him, gradually wrapping him in the affection she desires.
The two bask in this exquisite sweet moment, forgetting all past bitterness.
…
He wakes up.
The room is quiet, with no noise at all.
Opening his eyes reveals the ceiling, and some light streams in through the window.
There’s no fox maid beside him, no fruit, just him all alone.
“Ugh, was that a dream?”
Lin Nuo rubs his forehead; that dream felt too real, still vivid in his mind.
“Why did I even dream something like that?”
Lin Nuo finds it strange; he never thought about Ruo’er growing up and becoming a maid.
He hadn’t even indulged in such ridiculous notions after becoming a villain.
Suddenly, it just hit him, catching him completely off guard.
“If anyone finds out I dreamed about this, the dog from the neighboring village would laugh to death.”
Lin Nuo quickly rises, sitting cross-legged, calming himself to focus and try to erase the dream from his mind.
No success; as soon as he closes his eyes, the dream’s scenes flood back to him.
White hair, fox maid, white stockings—everything stunning and visually pleasing, excessively sweet.
“What the hell, what kind of dream was that?”
Lin Nuo gives up on meditating and finds himself unable to shake off the thoughts of the dream, so he decides to go out for some fresh air.
…
In Zifeng Valley, the maid’s quarters.
Ruo’er had dozed off for a bit, drifting into a dream, and once in dreamland, her smile never left her face.
After some time, she awakens.
“Ah! What’s happening?!”
She opens her eyes to find the previous scene vanished.
She and Master were kissing in the room, enjoying a sweet moment together.
But now, the dream is over!
“Oh no, oh no! I must continue that dream.”
She closes her eyes, desperately trying to recall the dream’s scenes, but she can’t return to that dreamworld.
“Waaah, it’s gone! I can’t bring it back!”
She feels like she’s about to lose her mind; how could such a good dream just vanish?
