Chapter 411: Chapter 88: Memory Restoration (Part 1)_2
Gazing into Xuan Yue’s clear beautiful eyes, he trembled subtly, rubbed his hands together, lowered his head, avoiding Xuan Yue’s gaze, and murmured, "Yue Yue, Yue Yue, actually I, I always, always liked you."
Xuan Yue gave a slight smile and said, "I know! From childhood to adulthood, you’ve always been good to me, I’ve also always seen you as my own brother. Is that what you wanted to tell me?"
His heart hastening, he hurriedly said, "No, no, the liking I mean is not that kind. I mean to say, I, actually I..." Suddenly lifting his head, he gathered all his courage, "Yue Yue, I’ve been in love with you all this time! Can you give me a chance? Let me protect you for a lifetime."
Xuan Yue’s body trembled. A expression of confusion flashed in her beautiful eyes. She didn’t respond, just quietly watching him.
Having finally spoken his long pent-up feelings, he felt a great relief. He relaxed considerably, "Yue Yue, I’m two years older than you. There are many things that I understood before you did. When we were still young, I already liked you very much, but at that time I didn’t know it was love. As I got older, I realized that my heart is always thinking of you. No matter how bitter or tiring the martial arts training was, every time I thought of how these martial arts can protect you, I would feel no longer feel fatigued. You’re my motivation for training! I told myself that within my lifetime, I would only love Yue Yue and marry you. This belief, no matter how much time passes, will not change. Yue Yue, I love you, give me this chance. I do not ask you to promise me now, I just hope you can give me this chance to pursue you. I believe that I can touch you with my sincerity. In this world, absolutely no one could love you more than I do." He spoke passionately, his handsome face flushed with anticipation, his gaze fixed on Xuan Yue.
His words disturbed Xuan Yue’s previously calm heart. Since she began cultivating holy magic, it was the first time that she had felt unable to keep her composure. Ripples appeared in the depths of her sealed heart, it seemed like there was a voice at the bottom of her heart calling her, a faint figure gradually emerged, but it was not him.
She gently shook her head and softly said, "I’m sorry, big brother, I can’t accept your feelings. I understand your kindness towards Yue Yue, but I’ve always seen you as a brother, don’t make it hard for me, okay?"
Hearing Xuan Yue’s refusal, his previously blush face gradually turned pale. He clenched his fists, trying hard to control his emotions, "Yue Yue, why? Aren’t you giving me even the slightest chance? I know you’re still young and don’t want to think about these things, but I can wait, I am willing to, even for a lifetime. Are you saying you can’t even give me that chance to wait? Yue Yue, as I said, in this lifetime, I will only love you."
Xuan Yue took a deep breath, staring into his anxious eyes, bit her teeth, and said, "I’m sorry, big brother, I truly do not feel that way about you. I can’t delay you, there are many good girls in the church. I believe you can find your own happiness. I’m sorry."
His heart chilled, Xuan Yue’s determined refusal felt like a sharp blade piercing his heart. He staggered back a couple of steps, murmuring, "No, it’s not possible, Yue Yue, we grew up together, how can you not have even the slightest feelings for me? No, it’s not possible, you must be joking, right?"
Xuan Yue sighed and said, "Big brother, calm down, you should know that I would not joke about this. Although I don’t want to hurt you, I don’t want you to fall in too deep either. Wake up, big brother, it’s just not possible between us."
The last hint of color faded from his handsome face. His voice suddenly turned miserable, "I know it, I know it, surely you are thinking of that Ah Dai fellow, right? It’s because of him that you rejected me, isn’t it? In what way do I fall short of him? He’s just an ordinary guy with an unknown background! He’s not a follower of God, only I am truly worthy of you!"
At his words, Xuan Yue was taken aback. Ah Dai. The name struck her like a hammer, shattering the confusion in her heart, memories emerging in a flood from the depths of her heart. That simple and dull face clearly appeared before her eyes. Yue Yue’s heart fluttered. Memories from three years ago streamed out from the depths of her memory.
"I was taking the mage test, why did you interrupt? You owed, you owed me magic power."
"Sorry, miss, I, I didn’t mean to. How to repay?"
"It was your ring that absorbed my magic power, just give it to me as compensation."
"No way! This ring is very important to me, I can’t compensate with it, ask for something else."
"No, I want that ring."
"I really can’t give you the ring, or, or I can give you some money."
"Who needs your stinking money. Fine, you don’t have to give me the ring, but you have to agree to a condition."
"Miss, I see you are out on a stroll, in need of a servant, judging by your looks, you seem to be somewhat adept. You just have to follow me for a year, I can forgive you. That’s quite generous. To follow me is your good fortune."
