“Then let me tell you, I care about Alicia just as much as you do. At least for me, as long as I still have a breath left in me, I won’t let her get hurt.”
Luo Ye spoke calmly, quietly circulating the Magic within his body. Even though he didn’t really know what the standard for Magic in this world was, he was sure his own Magic level wouldn’t be considered low.
Hisina looked at the faint golden glow radiating from the Magic Pattern on the back of Luo Ye’s hand. She was a little surprised, but it lasted only a moment before she returned to her usual composure.
She lowered her head, thinking deeply for a long time. Finally, she took a deep breath and said:
“In that case, I won’t insist for now. But I still hope you, Mr. Luo Ye, can protect Alicia. If you can’t, I will take her back myself.”
“Don’t worry, I’m good at taking care of people,” Luo Ye shrugged.
Whether that means there’ll be one more person, though, I’m not so sure.
Maybe even two?
“Then, goodbye. Sorry to have bothered you today.” Hisina gracefully lifted her skirt and curtsied, then straightened up and walked past him.
Luo Ye nodded, just about to turn and leave, when unexpectedly, just as Hisina should have left and ended the conversation, she suddenly leaned close to him as they passed by. The faint fragrance from her body drifted into his nose, intoxicating and pleasant.
“You…” Luo Ye raised his eyebrows in surprise.
“Luo Ye Teacher, there’s something I need you to investigate.”
Without the slightest hesitation, Hisina pressed her curvy body tightly against Luo Ye, her soft cherry lips right by his ear, her warm breath making his body tingle and shiver involuntarily.
But the message she whispered next made his whole body jolt.
“Alicia… Something definitely happened to her in the past that made her the way she is now.”
What do you mean?
Luo Ye was just about to ask for details, but Hisina’s clever eyes flicked to the side. She hugged Luo Ye’s arm tightly, letting her soft, snow-white chest wrap around it.
“What are you—”
Before he could finish, Luo Ye suddenly felt a bone-chilling aura sweep over from behind, as if a silver-haired girl was approaching with a powerful obsession.
In an instant, snowflakes began to fall, and a biting wind mixed with icy, blade-like snow drew closer and closer to Luo Ye and Hisina.
Luo Ye couldn’t help but sneeze. Hisina beside him was also finding it hard to endure the cold, but she kept her original expression, looking elegantly and confidently at the expressionless Alicia.
Alicia slowly raised her eyes, first staring at Hisina, who was forcing herself to resist Alicia’s aura, then at Luo Ye, whose arm was wrapped in useless fat by her chest, and finally, she lifted her gaze to look at the side of Luo Ye’s face.
Her expression was as cold as thousand-year-old ice. Her cherry lips parted slightly as she spoke:
“Fiancé, are you enjoying yourself?”
“How long do you plan to keep enjoying it?”
Of course it’s enjoyable.
But Luo Ye didn’t dare say that.
He could almost see Alicia’s face turning black as the bottom of a pot.
Even though her face was expressionless, and her demeanor unchanged, you couldn’t judge a person’s mood by what they said, but by what they did.
To say Alicia wasn’t angry—Luo Ye wouldn’t believe it.
I’m doomed…
How was he supposed to explain this? It wasn’t like he wanted to be forced into this mess.
At this moment, Hisina’s mouth almost split to her ears with a smile. Although she had come to ask Luo Ye for a favor, having been put in her place by him so many times, it was impossible for her to be completely free of resentment.
If she could see Alicia dissatisfied with him and propose a breakup, that would be perfect.
As long as she could find out why Alicia had changed so much, why she separated from her a year ago, then winning Alicia back would be a piece of cake.
As for Luo Ye, let fate decide.
At most, he’d get a third of the credit.
However…
“I’m saying…”
Just as Hisina was celebrating in her heart, Alicia suddenly turned her gaze, scanning Hisina up and down. Then, those cold, bone-chilling eyes locked onto hers.
“How long do you plan to keep hugging my fiancé?”
?!!
Hisina was so frightened she instantly let go, putting distance between herself and Luo Ye.
Seeing them separate, Alicia immediately stepped forward, grabbed Luo Ye—who was still savoring the lingering warmth—and without waiting for him to react, and ignoring Hisina’s envious, jealous, and resentful gaze, she led Luo Ye away from the scene.
Bathed in the gentle afternoon sunlight, the girl with sky-blue hair walked ahead, holding the boy’s hand as they strolled along the campus path, looking for all the world like the closest couple.
From the side, from behind, from any angle, it looked like a warm campus romance comedy. The seemingly chaotic love triangle was actually a scene of fierce protection, bringing a smile to the onlooker’s face, while forcing them to breathe in the sour scent of love in the air.
But if you looked at them from the front…
“Maybe I should find you a few big-breasted assistants in the future, so you won’t get too lonely, Luo Ye Teacher?”
Alicia suddenly stopped, turned, and stared at Luo Ye, her eyes sharp as ice blades.
“Wait, I can explain!”
Sensing the dangerous air of jealousy and probing from Alicia, Luo Ye quickly let go of her hand and stepped back.
“She was the one who suddenly hugged me, and then you showed up right at that moment.”
Luo Ye puffed up his chest, thinking, Alicia, if you hadn’t spoken up just then, I might’ve even said, ‘You are all my wings.’
Alicia couldn’t help but arch her delicate brow. “I let you two talk privately, and you ended up hugging each other?”
“…It’s all a misunderstanding.”
Luo Ye explained.
“…” Alicia stared at Luo Ye for a while, then suddenly narrowed her eyes and smiled sweetly at him. She stepped closer, her unique scent mixed with a hint of coldness filling Luo Ye’s nose. “Fiancé, I don’t care about your private life, but could you not agree to a partnership with me one second and then flirt with another woman right in front of me the next?”
Luo Ye raised an eyebrow, resting his chin in his hand as he studied Alicia’s long lashes, fluttering like bird wings, her bright amber eyes fixed on him, pondering the hidden meaning in her words.
“Are you… jealous?” Luo Ye asked tentatively.
?!
“Who’s jealous of you? Shameless!” Alicia’s face flushed with embarrassment and anger.
Heh, women.
“Alright, I promise you, I won’t flirt with other girls in front of you.”
Luo Ye shrugged indifferently.
He didn’t expect this woman to be such a love-struck fool.
“Fine.” But Alicia suddenly put away her earlier emotions, the blush on her face vanishing in an instant. “In that case, I hope you’ll keep your word.”
Luo Ye: ???
How did she change her face faster than flipping a page?
Luo Ye still wanted to figure out the answer to this question, but then he saw a hint of disdain in Alicia’s gaze.
So, the girl was actually a schemer.
