Chapter 1144: Chapter 88 Memory Resurgence_2
Looking into Xuan Yue’s clear, beautiful eyes, Ba Bu Yi trembled slightly, rubbed his hands, lowered his head, and avoided Xuan Yue’s gaze, muttering, "Yue Yue, Yue Yue, actually, I’ve always, always really liked you."
Xuan Yue smiled slightly and said, "I know! Ever since we were little, Big Brother has always been very good to me, and I’ve always treated you like a real brother. Big Brother, is that all you wanted to tell me?"
Ba Bu Yi’s heart grew anxious, and he quickly said, "No, no, what I mean isn’t that kind of liking. I mean, actually I..." He suddenly lifted his head, mustering all his courage, "Yue Yue, actually I’ve always loved you! Can you give me a chance? Let me spend my lifetime protecting you."
Xuan Yue shuddered slightly, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of confusion. She didn’t respond, just quietly looked at Ba Bu Yi.
Ba Bu Yi, who had finally voiced the feelings he had long suppressed, felt a surge of relief and relaxed a lot, "Yue Yue, I’m two years older than you, and there are many things I came to understand before you did. When we were still young, I already really liked you, though at that time I didn’t realize it was love. As I grew older, I found my heart constantly thinking of you. No matter how hard and tiring the martial arts practice, just thinking that the skills I’m learning now could protect you in the future, I would no longer feel tired. You are the motivation for my training! I told myself that in this lifetime, I, Ba Bu Yi, would only love Yue Yue and only marry Yue Yue as my wife. This belief, no matter how much time passes, will never change. Yue Yue, I love you. Give me this chance. I don’t ask you to agree now, I just hope you can give me the chance to pursue you. I believe, I can definitely use my sincerity to move you. In this world, no one could love you more than I do." He excitedly spoke all the words in his heart, his handsome face slightly flushed with hope as he looked at Xuan Yue.
Ba Bu Yi’s words had disturbed the tranquility of Xuan Yue’s heart. Ever since she began practicing Holy Magic, for the first time, she felt herself unable to remain calm. Ripples appeared on the tightly sealed door of her heart as a faint figure gradually emerged. However, that wasn’t Ba Bu Yi.
She gently shook her head and said softly, "I’m sorry, Big Brother Ba Bu Yi, I can’t accept your feelings. I understand the kindness you have for Yue Yue, but I’ve always seen you as a brother. Please don’t make this difficult for Yue Yue."
Hearing Xuan Yue’s rejection, Ba Bu Yi’s face, previously flushed, gradually turned pale. He clenched his fists and tried his best to control his emotions, "Yue Yue, why? Can’t you give me even a little chance? I know you’re still young and not ready to think about these things, but I can wait. I’m willing to wait, even for a lifetime. Can’t you give me that chance to wait? Yue Yue, I’ve said before, in this lifetime, I will only love you."
Xuan Yue took a deep breath, staring into Ba Bu Yi’s anxious eyes, she bit her lip and said, "I’m sorry, Big Brother Ba Bu Yi, I really don’t have those feelings for you. I can’t hold you back. There are many good girls in the Church, I believe you’ll definitely find your happiness. I’m sorry."
Ba Bu Yi felt a chill in his heart. Xuan Yue’s firm rejection pierced his heart like a sharp blade. He trembled and took two steps back, muttering, "No, it can’t be, Yue Yue, we grew up together, how can you not have any feelings for me? It can’t be, it can’t be, you must be joking, right?"
Xuan Yue sighed and said, "Big Brother Ba Bu Yi, calm down, you know I wouldn’t joke about this kind of thing. Although I don’t want to hurt you, I also don’t want you to fall too deep. Wake up, Big Brother, it’s impossible between us."
Ba Bu Yi’s face drained of the last bit of color, and his voice became bitter, "I understand now, I understand now, you must be thinking about that guy, Ah Dai, right? You won’t accept me because of him? In what way am I inferior to him? He’s just a commoner with an unknown background! He’s not even a devotee of the gods. Only I am truly worthy of you!"
Hearing Ba Bu Yi’s words, Xuan Yue trembled all over, the word "Ah Dai" crashing like a giant hammer shattering her confusion. Past memories surged from deep within her heart, and the honest, simple face vividly appeared before her eyes. Xuan Yue’s heart skipped a beat as events from three years ago flowed back through her memory.
...
"I was undergoing the Mage’s test, why did you interfere? You’ve messed with my magic power."
"Sorry, Miss, I didn’t mean to. How can I make it up to you?"
"It’s your ring that drained my magic power. Give it to me, and we’ll be even."
"No way! This ring is very important to me, I can’t give it to you, ask for something else."
"No, I want that ring."
"I really can’t give you the ring, how about, how about I give you some money?"
"Who wants your stinking money! Fine, you don’t have to give me the ring, but you have to agree to one condition."
"I’m touring the continent and could use a lackey; you seem somewhat capable. Just follow me and be my lackey for a year, and I’ll forgive you. This condition is quite generous. By following me, you’re gaining a blessing."
