I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 562

Chapter 109: Always by Your Side

Once she started talking, Xue Nuo couldn’t stop.

“Who do you think is at fault here? Do you think I’m worried about someone else? It’s all because of you, leaving me behind alone. You have no idea how much I…”

Halfway through, her cool voice turned hoarse, and Xue Nuo realized she was overreacting, finding Roy cornered on the sofa, looking a bit uncomfortable.

“Sorry, that’s not your fault.” Xue Nuo lowered her head and backed away, shutting her eyes in a bit of a slump. “If anyone is to blame, it’s me.”

“As a teacher, I can’t even protect you.”

But just then, a youthful chuckle rang in her ear.

“So, does that mean Teacher Xue Nuo is so worried about me she can’t sleep?”

“…Is that wrong?” Xue Nuo murmured with a hint of grievance.

“It’s strange for a teacher to care about their student?”

“Not strange, but Teacher Xue Nuo should also understand that concern is mutual. Just like you worry about me, I don’t want to see you forcing yourself either.”

Roy sighed lightly, then reached out and placed his hand over Xue Nuo’s delicate one.

“Sorry for the offense.”

The young boy always brought her warmth, but this time, Xue Nuo’s eyes widened in disbelief.

This wasn’t an illusion; it was a real sensation.

Her chaotic bloodline calmed, warm currents flowed from his palm, spreading throughout her body.

“This is…”

“My ability. It helps calm others’ bloodlines. Is it feeling better now, Teacher?”

“Mm.”

Outside, frost and snow persisted.

Gently responding, Xue Nuo unconsciously intertwined her fingers with Roy’s, completely lost in this warmth.

There was a hint of shyness, but mostly a sense of desire.

She thought of Winter.

Just imagining Winter putting a ring on her and having to make physical contact made her feel uneasy all over.

But Roy’s words…

A little closer wouldn’t hurt, right?

It felt like it wasn’t the first time he did this…

With dazed eyes, the girl stared at their clasped hands, like a small animal craving warmth, unconsciously leaning in closer.

Then, she gently pressed the back of Roy’s hand to her lips.

“?!?” Roy was completely thrown, thinking she might bite him.

“S-sorry! I just… accidentally…”

Xue Nuo suddenly snapped back to reality, realizing her rudeness, and hurriedly explained, her snow-like cheeks flushing a light pink.

Could it be that she felt the speed of the “bloodline resonance” was too slow?

Roy pondered for a moment and explained, “Teacher, the more body surface area in contact, the better the effect. If you want your bloodline to return to normal faster, maybe we should make more contact…”

Halfway through, noticing the girl before him, Roy shut his mouth.

Xue Nuo was still wrapped in bandages on her other hand, making it impossible to increase contact anymore, right?

But upon hearing his words, Xue Nuo’s throat trembled.

She had to admit, the feeling of bloodline resonance was a bit addictive.

Increase contact area?

Indeed, for the sake of calming the chaotic bloodline, it was unavoidable, right?

Roy’s words—being a bit closer seemed fine, right?!

This was also a sign of affection from her student!

Holding back her excitement, Xue Nuo steadied herself and asked, “What should I do?”

“Uh, well…”

Suddenly, the girl showed an eager and sparkling expression, putting Roy in a bit of a bind.

Last time he helped her with excessive medication, he had directly stripped her down and pressed against her from behind.

But that was because it was an emergency; there was no alternative, and she was in a coma at the time.

Now, Xue Nuo wasn’t in such dire straits.

Moreover, she was conscious! Doing that would be too humiliating for a teacher!

Rubbing legs, leaning against backs, touching bellies—no matter how he thought about it, this would cross boundaries, right?!

Xue Nuo trusted him completely, and Roy didn’t want to take advantage of that trust.

He definitely didn’t want to get caught with his hands in the cookie jar and end up frozen solid from the cold like a popsicle…

After considering, Roy came up with a relatively less offensive proposal.

“Teacher Xue Nuo, can I touch your feet?”

“…Fine.”

That’s it? Xue Nuo felt a bit disappointed.

She sat on the bed while Roy half-knelt in front of her.

The silver-haired girl lifted her nightgown, revealing her smooth calves. Then, slowly, she raised her fair, bare feet from her slippers.

Holding her delicate feet, Roy couldn’t help but lose focus for a moment.

Xue Nuo’s feet were slender and bony, her skin fair and translucent, with a hint of blue veins showing, like a piece of jade.

Her toes were elongated and slender, her arch maintaining an elegant curve, the cool touch in his hands felt like holding delicate snowflakes, evoking immense tenderness.

It felt a bit inappropriate to touch a girl’s feet!

Roy snapped back from his daydream and focused, cradling both snow-like feet in his arms and using “bloodline resonance.”

Warm currents poured from the soles of her feet, feeling like fish kissing in a hot spring, far more pleasant than Xue Nuo had imagined.

No, this isn’t good.

It was just her feet and…

The girl couldn’t help but let out an embarrassed moan: “Mm~…!”

Roy quickly released her: “Does it hurt?”

Xue Nuo shook her head repeatedly: “No!”

“It’s just that, um, I was a bit startled…”

No, you’re the one who startled me!

Seeing the girl clutching her chest, slightly panting, Roy hesitated, “Should we stop?”

“Absolutely not! Don’t mind me, just keep going!”

As she urged, one of her delicate feet nudged him again.

In that case, Roy had no choice but to repeat his previous actions.

This time he eased the intensity of “bloodline resonance,” and Xue Nuo finally didn’t make any strange sounds, instead closing her eyes and showing a cloud-like, dreamy expression, completely relaxing.

“Roy, you’re amazing…”

“It feels like you’ve done this for me before. Was it during the New Year’s Gala, too?”

“Pretty much.” Roy buried his head in shame.

If he mentioned what happened back then, they’d probably end up in a bloodbath.

As she basked in the warmth of the young boy, feeling her bloodline gradually stabilize, Xue Nuo’s gaze began to blur.

It felt like she was back in that peaceful time in the Academy, with the howling cold wind outside, yet feeling warmth with the boy by her side.

Winter, the Demon Race, Snowwind Fortress—everything seemed like distant affairs from another world.

As the last member of the Andevis family, defending Snowwind Fortress was a duty she couldn’t, and wouldn’t, shirk.

But every time the night fell quiet, she couldn’t help but think…

“If only it could always be like this…”

“If only I could always be by your side…”

Roy’s heart trembled.

But when he looked up, the girl had already tilted her head, closed her eyes, and succumbed to sleep.
