Chapter 281 – Maid Lover (2/2)

“I really don’t, I forgot…”

“Oh, since you forgot, then why don’t I remind you?”

“Remind? N-no need, Elena, why don’t we go back if you don’t want to dance, since there’s no point in staying.”

“No, I’m not going, I want to be clear about this.”

“Uh…”

The hall was filled with graceful and lively music, people made pairs and began to dance or exchanged cups of alcohol. The entire hall was filled with a joyous atmosphere, but Lin Xiao didn’t feel happy at all. He couldn’t hear the sound around him, or see the dancing people, it was like the entire world lost its color, and there were just her blood-red eyes and soft pink lips deeply etched into the black and white world.

“Lin Xiao, earlier you said, ‘Elena, you like me and I like you’, right?”

“…”

Lin Xiao held his breath as Elena continued on.

“It seems like you remember. So, were you serious, do you really like me?”

“…”

Thump, thump, thump.

Other than Elena’s question, his own heartbeat also echoed in his ears.

It was like everything around them suddenly stopped, and Lin Xiao was thrown into a barren world without time and the only two in that world was him and the girl in front of him.

Lin Xiao, do you really like me?

…

Of course I do! You’re my favorite maid. Elena, although I say I like ShenDai Ying, but I can’t let you go!

Elena, I don’t want to see you being bullied by someone else, I only want you to show your shy side to me, when I see someone harass you, I want to kill them!

Elena, I can’t bear the thought of you leaving me, I want you to be my maid forever, cursing at me and calling me a perverted master and making your disgusting food for me.

So, I really like you!

…

Should he answer like that?

Lie? No, those were his true feelings. Even if he didn’t say them, it should be clear from how he treats Elena normally.

Even though he says he likes another woman, but who’s the one he thinks about and worries about?

Isn’t the answer obvious?

If that’s the case, if he already knew the answer, but just hid it away. Now that it was accidentally revealed, why didn’t he go a step further and seriously confess?

It’s not like she would do anything to him if he told her the truth, she might even shyly call him a pervert, and might even actually agree and become his maid lover…

Of course, there was that possibility and Lin Xiao looked forward to it and was willing to take that first step to try.

But he didn’t do that.

Not because he was afraid, but because he couldn’t.

Because if he actually said the sappy stuff he was thinking, then as a responsible man, he should continue to say what comes after those words.
