Chapter 252 – Lin Xiao, I Promise, One Time (1/2)

“He looked extremely sad when he was leaving, it really scared me… it’s the first time I’ve ever seen him like that, strange.”

Shen DaiYing became concerned when she heard Rosie’s explanation.

Is Lin Xiao parting ways with someone?

Was it with Snow?

No, that’s not it.

Lin Xiao is returning to the academy and Snow is returning to the church, so they’re still living in the same city and can meet whenever they want, so why would he be sad?

So the person Lin Xiao is parting ways with isn’t Snow, but someone else.

And that person must be his maid, Elena!

“Heh, I think I figured it out.”

Thinking of it, Shen DaiYing smugly raised the corners of her lips.

Elena was a high-level demon and Lin Xiao was a human, it was already strange that they were in a master servant relationship, and Snow was probably involved as well. She was guessing that the reason that brought them together disappeared, so Lin Xiao had to say goodbye to Elena.

Although she didn’t know what the reason was, but she still felt happy.

If Elena was gone, then no one would be fighting for Lin Xiao with her… even if she’s not going to marry him or advance their relationship, but he made her feel comfortable. So she wished to spend more time with him and didn’t want him to be seduced away by another woman.

A life of happiness and steady companionship, even if she’ll marry Caesar soon, she still yearns for that intoxicating happiness, that sense of comfort and security that only Lin Xiao could give her.

“Hey Shen DaiYing, what are you smirking at?”

Rosie’s voice pulled Shen DaiYing back to reality.

“Eh? A-am I?”

“Of course! You looked like you stole someone’s honey… what, why are you so happy that Lin Xiao’s saying goodbye to a friend?”

“N-no reason, hehe.” Shen DaiYing forced a laugh and muddled by, she then glanced at Caesar, after confirming that he didn’t react, she went back to packing her things and prepared to head back.

She guessed that she wouldn’t see that eccentric maid, as such, Lin Xiao would be the only left at home.

“Lin Xiao, do you still remember? I said that I would personally cook a lavish dinner for you after the competition, hehe.”

It was originally a three person meal, now that there’s one less intrusive maid, it saved a lot of trouble for her.

…

…

Holy Light Church camp.

Outside the tent.

Standing outside, Lin Xiao knew that once he brings Elena inside, they’ll see Snow and he was well aware of what would happen next. He was already mentally prepared, but when the time actually came, he felt awful.

He looked back at Elena who was walking slowly behind him and couldn’t help but complain.

“Hey! What are you dillydallying for?”

“Tsk, then what about you? Spacing out in front of the tent like an idiot.”

“You… really aren’t cute!”

“If you want cute, then go to your sister, oh, if you still want to fuck around, then go look for Shen DaiYing, don’t come to me.”

“You!”

Lin Xiao didn’t bother bickering with her and wanted to go in the tent to meet with Snow. But for some reason he couldn’t take the first step, it felt like his feet were stuck to the floor, leaving him standing there like an idiot.

“Why aren’t you moving? What are you waiting for, you…”

Finally catching up to him, Elena wanted to curse at him then push him inside, but it was hard.

That was because she saw a gloomy, distraught expression, from the damn pervert that was always laughing and joking, actually revealed such an expression.

The two just stood like that, one behind another, neither paying attention to the other or saying anything.

“Elena, I…”

He turned around, not wanting her to see his face. Lin Xiao looked up into the sky and sighed.

He wanted to say something but it just wouldn’t come out.

How laughable.

He was adept at acting, lies flowed out whenever he opened his mouth and he could easily trick anyone like he often did to Elena. But now when it was his time to be honest, to speak the truth, to speak his mind, he couldn’t say anything.

“Hm… never mind, Elena, let’s go see Snow.”

Whatever, isn’t it fine like this, Lin Xiao took a step as he comforted himself. As he planned to lift the flaps to head inside, he was stopped by Elena.
