Seeing Luo Ge remain silent and not speak for a long time, Roxy seemed to understand something.
A hint of sadness suddenly flashed deep in his eyes.
really...
Luo Ge probably doesn't need me anymore.
Disappointed, she turned away from Luo Ge, preparing to get into the carriage and leave alone.
The carriage wheels rolled lightly on the stone pavement, and the horse snorted, as if urging her to make a decision quickly.
Just as Roxy was about to lift the reins and leave in the carriage...
Luo Ge finally mustered his courage and made up his mind.
In order to save Roxy, who left due to her inferiority complex, Luo Ge decides to chase after her and tell her a huge lie.
Although Luo Ge had told countless lies throughout his life, he believed this was the most perfect one.
There was almost no prelude, no build-up whatsoever.
The moment Luo Ge lowered his head, he suddenly looked up, effortlessly and unconsciously switching to his most perfect state.
"Wait a minute, teacher!!!"
With tears in his eyes, he chased after her, then looked at Roxy sitting in the carriage.
Under the astonished gaze of the other party, Luo Ge suddenly became affectionate.
He took the initiative to hold the other person's hand, gazing deeply into their face. "Once... there was a sincere love placed before me, but I didn't cherish it. Only after the teacher passed away did I realize my regret."
"..."
Roxy was stunned.
He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Her hand was held by Luo Ge, and she froze by the carriage, her mind buzzing.
"There is no greater suffering in the world than this..."
Luo Ge's voice was low and slow, as if he were reciting a monologue etched in his heart, each word enunciated clearly, "Teacher... bring your wand down on my head, if it makes you feel better, don't hesitate any longer..."
Seeing that Roxy was already stunned, Luo Ge suddenly turned his back and quickly rubbed his eyes with the onion hidden in his sleeve.
When he turned back, he had already switched back to his most perfect state.
Luo Ge's eyes were perfectly red, with a hint of moisture on his eyelashes, as he continued to slowly recite the lines to Roxy.
"If God could give me another chance, I would say those three words to my teacher in person—I love you."
Roxy's breath hitched, and her fingers unconsciously curled in his palm.
"If I had to put a time limit on this feeling, I would hope that my love for my teacher would last a million years."
These words were spoken.
Roxy could no longer hold back.
With a clatter, her wand fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
It stands out starkly in the quiet environment.
She covered her mouth in surprise, staring at Luo Ge with an incredulous look, as if she couldn't believe those words had come from his mouth.
Then.
Before she could react, she was already deeply moved. She jumped off the carriage, threw herself into Luo Ge's arms, and hugged him tightly.
Roxy also shed tears.
She sobbed, choked back tears, calling out Luo Ge's name, her shoulders shaking.
She buried her face in Luo Ge's shoulder, and tears quickly soaked a small patch of her clothes.
Her fingers gripped his shirt tightly, creating deep creases, as if she was afraid he would run away if she let go.
Both of them shed tears.
The only difference is that Luo Ge's performance was mostly acting, while Roxy at this moment was more of a genuine expression of instinct.
After putting the prepared onions into his pocket, Luo Ge continued to weep, choking out, "... Teacher, are you still going to leave me alone?"
"Waaah... Teacher won't leave, never again."
Tears streamed down Roxy's face like pearls falling freely to the ground.
Upon hearing this, Luo Ge finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he had seen more movies in his past life.
Although that kind of plot was already overused in her previous life, in this other world, for a native like Roxy, this kind of innocent girl is nothing short of a game-changer.
Thinking about it this way, Luo Ge actually felt a pang of guilt.
He had actually used such an awkward way to keep Roxy.
The two sat in the carriage, and before they knew it, Roxy's sobs finally stopped.
The carriage suddenly fell silent.
Roxy kept her head down and didn't look at Luo Ge, while Luo Ge didn't know what to say either. After all, this kind of awkward way of playing games made this straight man feel very uncomfortable.
How should I put it?
This feeling... it almost gave me goosebumps.
What should I say next?
How about we play another round of awkward games?
Just as Luo Ge was racking his brains for a solution, he suddenly thought of Paul. If Paul were here, he would definitely be able to teach him a few tricks.
It's a pity he's not here...
While Luo Ge remained expressionless, he was actually wearing a mask of pain, his mind racing with anxiety.
Suddenly... the two spoke almost simultaneously.
" Luo Ge!"
"Teacher..."
The two spoke at the same time, then stopped at the same time, glanced at each other, and then looked away at the same time.
You go first...
"Well, why don't you go first?"
Upon hearing Roxy's words, Luo Ge hesitated for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "Teacher, look, the weather seems quite nice today."
Roxy tilted her head, then looked out the carriage window, a hint of doubt flashing across her face.
Outside, the sky was overcast and gray, with fine, dense rain falling.
It looks like it's going to rain soon.
Is the weather nice?
Seemingly noticing Roxy's gaze, Luo Ge quickly changed his tune. "Well, actually... I prefer rainy days, cough cough, rainy days are a bit more romantic."
"Pfft!"
Noticing Luo Ge's urgency and embarrassment, Roxy covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
She smiled broadly for quite a while.
Then he turned his gaze to Luo Ge and looked at him.
"Um, Luo Ge."
"Actually... you don't need to keep calling me 'teacher' like that. Why don't you just call me by my name from now on?"
"Luo... Roxy?"
Luo Ge paused for a moment, almost stammering. He had been calling someone "teacher" for so many years, and suddenly having to change his address felt strange.
Is this really a good idea?
"Sure, Luo Ge."
Roxy smiled.
That smile was clean and gentle, her eyes curved into two crescent moons, and the curve of her lips was so soft that it warmed one's heart.
A smile suddenly swept through Luo Ge's heart, leaving an incredibly deep impression.
Teacher Roxy's smile is so healing.
Suddenly, Luo Ge seemed to remember something and said, "Oh right, I almost forgot."
Then Luo Ge pulled out the box he had prepared on his person before setting off.
The box wasn't big.
It's the kind of style you can carry around with you.
"Huh?"
" Luo Ge... what is this?"
Under Roxy's questioning gaze.
Luo Ge smiled and explained, "Oh, this is your sacred relic, Loki... Roxy. I've kept it safe all these years, and now it can finally be returned to its rightful owner."
"A sacred object?"
"Yes, it's your sacred object. Open it and see for yourself!"
Roxy opened the box out of curiosity, and a burst of holy light immediately greeted her.
It was a sacred radiance that instantly overshadowed the carriage.
As the light gradually faded, the true form of the sacred object was finally revealed inside the box.
Roxy was completely stunned.
Because what was inside the box was a white item...
Swish swish swish swish swish!!!!
Roxy's cheeks turned red at a visible speed, and then she quickly closed the box with a crisp snap.
" Luo Ge!"
" Luo Ge!"
" Luo Ge!"
"What are you doing? Why are you suddenly giving me something like this!"
"Huh, I'm returning a sacred object."
Luo Ge looked completely innocent and waved his hand at Roxy, explaining, " Roxy, don't you remember? This is your..."
Mine?
Roxy opened the box again, this time suppressing her shyness, and looked at it carefully.
He examined it carefully, turning it over and over, for a while.
As she looked at it, she frowned more and more, and soon her brows were furrowed into a straight line, her expression looking very strange.
" Roxy? What's wrong?! Your complexion looks off!"
"Um, Luo Ge."
There's something I need to tell you.
Luo Ge sat upright.
Roxy raised her head, her expression suddenly becoming very serious. She took a deep breath and said, "... Is it possible that you're mistaken, and this isn't something I wore before?"
"Ha?!"
Luo Ge stood there dumbfounded, completely stunned.
Huh??
Not a teacher?
Whose is that?!
