I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 591

Chapter 139: Absolutely Not a Lie

Xue Nuo’s expression darkened as she sighed gloomily, “You really remembered, huh?”

Roy nodded slightly, “Not much, but enough.”

“At least I know that we’re definitely not lovers. I didn’t say anything wrong, did I, Teacher Xue Nuo?” The moment he spoke, Roy’s memories started coming back clearly, and his suspicions were confirmed. All the discord made sense now.

No wonder Xue Nuo reacted so strongly in the bathroom; he always felt an internal resistance.

It’s normal to have barriers between a teacher and a student.

The familiar words made Xue Nuo shudder again; her lips trembled as if she used all her strength just to say a single word.

Despite having anticipated this day, she didn’t expect it to come so soon, and so coincidentally at this moment.

Look at this, even now she was still lamenting that she couldn’t share her feelings with Roy.

Xue Nuo, you really are a self-centered jerk.

That’s your apprentice.

The one who accompanied you, helped you, and even risked everything to save you—what have you done to him?

Wrapped your filthy ulterior motives in lies, even almost hurting him; what a disgrace to a teacher!

Cursing herself in her heart, Xue Nuo had already bowed her head, too ashamed to face the boy’s gaze.

She was terrified of seeing indifference, fear, and disgust in those eyes that were always warm, respectful, and trusting.

“Can I ask one thing? Teacher Xue Nuo, why did you do this?” Roy’s tone was quite calm.

But every time Xue Nuo heard a word from him, it felt like a dagger to the heart, causing her pain to twist her features.

“Why…”

Xue Nuo’s corner of her mouth lifted in self-deprecation.

“You should know the answer, shouldn’t you?”

“I want to hear you say it, Teacher Xue Nuo.”

What a wicked heart.

But this was a mistake she had made; if Roy wanted to take this opportunity for revenge, it was only fair.

Thinking of this, Xue Nuo sighed again and then turned to gaze at the night sky.

The auroras were splendid and beautiful as ever, but her ice-blue eyes were filled with emptiness.

“Because I like you.”

“At first, I just admired you; I wanted to be your mentor. But gradually, I found that I couldn’t live without you.”

“Whenever you encounter danger, it makes me lose my composure. When you’re lonely, it makes me feel depressed. And when you smile, it’s like I’m illuminated by the newborn sun; it’s so warm.” Xue Nuo held her chest, recalling moments with the young boy, and couldn’t help but smile lightly.

“I didn’t know what that meant at first; I just wanted to always be by your side as a mentor.”

“Until the day Winter proposed to me, I awoke.”

“If I had to choose one person to spend my life with, that person could only be you.”

“But how can a mentor be with their apprentice?”

Unfortunately, this was all just her unrequited fantasy in the end.

Upon hearing this, Roy finally got his answer.

Teacher Xue Nuo actually had such feelings for him…

It was a bit unexpected, yet not entirely surprising.

When he thought about it, those ambiguous moments in his memories had already hinted at developing feelings. He just saw her as a teacher and didn’t think much of it.

Xue Nuo’s smile turned bitter: “Sorry, it’s disgusting, right?”

“As a mentor, to have such dirty thoughts about my own apprentice. But don’t worry, I won’t force you to do anything.”

Whether it was a false relationship or a close mentor-student bond, at this point, everything should come to an end.

Roy was a gentle child; he must have feelings for his mentor yet felt disgusted by his own vulgar thoughts, caught in a painful conflict.

Since that’s the case, let her decide.

This is the price she needed to pay. She couldn’t even dream of seeking his forgiveness. It was a confession she had long thought out.

The Silver-Haired Girl closed her eyes, stifling her pain, and made her final decision: “Let’s just end it here.”

“Goodbye.”

Once the words fell, Xue Nuo turned to leave.

Her slender figure seemed as if it would shatter and disappear in the next second, like snowflakes melting into the night.

However, this snowflake ultimately did not dissipate.

A light, casual remark from the young boy shattered the girl’s resolve to give up everything.

“Teacher Xue Nuo, don’t you want to know my answer?”

“Eh?” Xue Nuo couldn’t help but turn her head back.

Roy looked up at the brilliance above.

“The ruins we visited didn’t have any records of the goddess. So, I also think the legend of the aurora is fake.”

“But I hope the legend is true.”

What greeted Xue Nuo was neither disdain nor disgust, nor was it the warmth and respect she was so familiar with.

Instead, it was a kindness brightened by the aurora, as if it could illuminate the whole world.

“Although my memory isn’t completely restored, it’s enough for me to recognize my feelings.”

“At first, I just saw you as my teacher; when you saved me, it increased my trust. Without realizing it, I grew dependent on you, only to discover your clumsy side that worries people.”

“When I heard you say we were lovers, even though I lost my memory, that joy was definitely not a lie.”

With each word Roy took a step closer to Xue Nuo.

Until they were face to face, until nothing else existed in his eyes except the silver-haired beauty, Roy finally smiled gently.

“I hope the legend is true.”

With the dress of the Holy Light Goddess brushing past, he would receive the blessings of the divine and bond forever.

Xue Nuo’s breath quickened, her pupils trembled uncontrollably; while her heart raced, she could hardly believe it.

“But… but I’m your mentor. Don’t you find me disgusting…?”

“Then does Teacher Xue Nuo find me disgusting? A mere apprentice having such unseemly thoughts about you.”

Roy boldly raised his hand, caressing the girl’s beautifully snow-like silver hair.

If any student dared to be so familiar with her, Xue Nuo would unhesitatingly end them.

Unless he was Roy.

The feelings of being an apprentice, of being a junior, shouldn’t belong to a taboos of the Empire.

Unless he was Roy.

The boy’s fingertips passed through her silver hair and landed on her cheek; Xue Nuo’s face flushed slightly, yet she made no move to resist.

This was something that should never exist between a mentor and a student.

But she really wanted it too much.

“If the legend is true, then worldly restraints can’t compete with the blessings of the divine,” Roy smiled slightly, his eyes filled with auroras.

“So, Teacher Xue Nuo, what’s your answer?”

“……I think you’re right.”

The brilliance exploded in the night sky, the laughter of lovers filled the air.

Under the goddess’s dress, all lovers either walked hand in hand or gazed into each other’s eyes, entangled in a kiss, reveling in that beautiful moment.

And among them, basking in the goddess’s greatest blessings, the figures clad in black and silver intertwined, sealing the truest bond with a pure kiss.

This time, it was absolutely not a lie or a falsehood.
