【Yo Deng】Badger and Snake

Long smiled kindly: "Pure-bloods always have the bad habit of looking down on Muggles, but if you ask me, the Muggles in Manchester are the most courageous people I have ever seen to express themselves—"

With that said, he pushed open the door of the bar.The hustle and bustle of voices filled my ears in no time, and a brand-new picture suddenly unfolded in front of Saeki Shamixiang's eyes: both sides of the street were crowded with people, colorful flags and colorful slogans were waving in the air, some people painted rainbow flags on their faces, and some people Wear colorful flags, and even paint the naked upper body in the colors of the rainbow——

"Colors after a rainy day—beautiful, isn't it?" Aaron sighed beside her. "The rainbow flag is a symbol of Muggle sexual minorities."

Ye Li stared at the center of the street: "Even the police cars came to participate in the parade?"

"I've been involved all the time. The Manchester Police Department also has a special person to take pictures and record it."

"Eh, so..."

The two people around were chatting one after another, but Saeki Samika had no intention of listening.Her body and mind were shocked by this scene, and she climbed up to the sky step by step with cheers—she could hear that not all of these people were like her, but they still shouted and cheered for people like her Now, this is a scene she can't imagine, nor can she dare to imagine-she never thought that one day she would see it, or in the Muggle world.

These people obviously don't know magic, but they seem to have cast a spell of courage on her.She thought of many things, of her cautious words and deeds in front of her family, of her silence when she heard related discussions, and of Qihai Dengzi—of her rejection—and of her not even having the courage to express her heart.

She couldn't help but have an urge to cry.

If she had seen this scene sooner—if she had known there were people in the world who would cheer her—

She will definitely say it, even if she doesn't get the desired response.

"How does it feel?"

Beside her, Ye Li asked in a low voice.

"Very good." She stared at the parade crowd and replied in a weak voice.

"That's good," Ye Li showed a smile, "Then—this book, I will give it to Senior Zuo Bo."

She took out the "Prisoner Bird" from her bag.

"I wish my senior's love affair will blossom and bear fruit one day, even if it goes through hardships and tribulations—it can also have a happy ending like this story."

Saeki Samika stared at the gilded canary on the paper, and suddenly smiled: "Thank you, Classmate Ye."

"But—it's out of the question—she has a lover."

The flaxen-haired woman pushed the book back.

"My parents needed me, and it was impossible for me to feel that way for another human being."

Ye Li's hands froze.

"Even—after seeing all of this, do you still feel that...?"

"I understand what you mean, Classmate Ye," Zuo Bo turned his hand away, "I am very grateful for all the scenery you showed me today, but... I have no choice."

Caged Bird (3)

The eyebrow pencil is gently slid across, bringing a slightly itchy touch; the color of the lip red is moist and bright, not too much, not too much, too appropriate.The warmth of his hand left his cheeks, Saiki Samika slightly opened his eyes, and saw himself in the mirror, and his smiling mother beside him.

"Perfect," Mrs. Saeki said, putting her hands on her shoulders. "My daughter is the most beautiful person in the world—Theodore will be fascinated by you."

"Thank you." Saeki tried hard to pull out a smile, but the corners of his mouth were so stiff that he could hardly move.Noticing this, Mrs. Saeki held her hand reassuringly: "Don't be too nervous, everything is according to the rehearsal, it's okay."

"Okay." Zuobo stood up with strength, and the dark green dress and long skirt poured down, reflecting the brilliance of the room.

There was a knock on the door, and a thick and steady male voice came to my ears: "Sa Mixiang, dear, it's about time."

Saeki felt his nose ache as he stared at his father who rarely showed loving eyes.The mother handed over her hand to the man, and the latter held it up preciously: "You are so beautiful, just like your mother back then."

"You mean that I'm old now?" Mrs. Saeki interjected jokingly, which made the hostess embarrassed for a while; but Saeki didn't have the heart to understand the conversation between the husband and wife. She took a deep breath while adjusting At the same time, he finally managed to keep the corners of his mouth in a less rigid arc: "I'm ready, father—"

"Let's go" - she wanted to say that, but these two words stuck in her throat, as if blocked by an unbreakable wall.

Mr. Saeki nodded knowingly, and completed the sentence for her: "Then let's go."

Leaving the prepared guest room, there was no one on the way.Guests from all walks of life are enjoying the aftertaste of the party in the meeting room of Rozier's house at this time, but Saiki Samika takes every step with deep regret.

—Remorse, yes.When she clearly realized this, her heart seemed to be frozen and lost the power to beat.

Why should I say yes?Why not refuse?

She looked up at her father's majestic side face, and her sleepy brain finally started to work.

— because Father needs me —

But what he needs is not the real me.Saeki thought wildly, he would not agree with himself who admired women.He needs a perfect daughter, a prop that can be used as a political bargaining chip—

Saeki bit his lower lip angrily.

——No, it is wrong to think so.No one knows better than her how much effort and investigation her parents have put into this marriage; Theodore Rozier is a person worthy of entrusting her life, and her father will choose to give her hand to him.

But she still regrets it.

She didn't hear the applause of the guests, and she didn't pay attention to Theodore Rozier's stiff black dress—the boy's face was thin but handsome, his brown curly hair was trimmed just right, and his hands in white gloves were behind his back. When the girl he liked approached, he stretched out a hand in a gentlemanly manner, bent down, and kissed the back of that tender hand.

The applause from the guests was even louder.The soft but solemn music was played under the command, and Theodore led Zuobo to the center of the hall.

The master of ceremonies stood there.It was a kind-faced old wizard, with gray hair and a white dress that complemented each other perfectly.Meeting Zuebo's eyes, he smiled slightly, raised his wand, and said softly and resonantly, "Are you ready?"

"I'm ready." Theodore Rozier's voice sounded from her left side, and the strength of pinching her hand was slightly heavier; feeling the eyes of the people around him, Saeki Shamixiang moved his lips, and finally only Smile and nod instead.

——So sorry.

She watched blankly as the master of ceremonies waved his wand, and two rings appeared in the air.

——So sorry.

Theodore Rozier took one of them off and gently put it on for her, but her matching smirk was already in tatters and was about to be peeled off.

——So sorry.

She took another ring with trembling hands, but failed to align it with the boy's finger after several attempts.Theodore touched her shoulder reassuringly, but she twitched nervously——

"Don't be nervous, it's okay," the boy comforted in a low voice, "I'm here."

She raised her head, and through Theodore's azure pupils, she saw another pair of sea-blue pupils—the eyes that belonged to Qihai Dengzi.

——As a result, at this time, I still think about her.

She thought sadly, and the regret in her heart grew stronger.She thought that she would never meet someone like Qihai Dengzi again in her whole life, and she would never watch over and love another person like that again in her whole life; but at this moment she realized that life is so long, so long that it can be used for Unplug and forget.

"Mr. Theodore Rozier, are you willing to recognize the person in front of you as your wife, enter into a marriage contract with her, and spend the rest of your life together?"

The emcee's old voice echoed in the hall, and Theodore Rozier nodded without hesitation: "I am willing."

"Miss Saeki Samika, are you willing to recognize the person in front of you as your husband, enter into a marriage contract with him, and spend the rest of your life together?"

Saeki Samika was silent.

Theodore squeezed her hand encouragingly, but she exerted a little force, trying to pull her hand out of the opponent's palm. ,

"...Samixiang? Are you okay?"

Facing Theodore's worried inquiry, Saeki closed his eyes.An embarrassing silence swept the surroundings, and there were whispered discussions among the guests; Zuobo tried hard not to think about his father's disappointed face, and forced himself to speak: "I..."

——I regret it, I regret it, I regret it, I regret it——

There was nothing on her mind at the moment but regret.Once this "I do" is blurted out, she will enter into an irreversible marriage contract with Theodore Rozier-but she doesn't want to, she doesn't want her life to come to a conclusion.

"I……"

The second time she spoke, her words changed in a strange way.

"...I don't want to."

There was no sound in the hall.

She opened her eyes, and the surprise on Theodore Rozier's face could not be concealed: "You...what did you say?"

It seemed that the master of ceremonies had encountered such a situation for the first time. His hand holding the wand froze in the air. He stared at Zuobo dumbfounded. After a long while, he managed to force out a smile: "Madam, you..."

"—she said 'no'! Didn't you hear that?!"

A sudden growl broke the silence.Zuobo heard the sound and looked towards the direction, and found that two figures in black robes and masks appeared at the side of the hall at some point, one tall and one short, one big and one small, looking rather weird.

"Who are you!" Theodore Rozier was the first to react, "Show your face! I don't remember having a banquet for you!"

"Oh, come on," said the smaller figure, "I think there are too many people you don't remember."

"Guards! Where are the guards, please get them out!" Theodore yelled angrily, but the black-robed figure started to move quickly—the tall one smashed something on the ground, and the smoke quickly spread, thick enough Even Theodore and Saeki, who were holding hands, couldn't see each other.

Theodore gripped her hand tightly, drew out his wand, and was about to say a spell, when he was thrown forward like a club, and fell to the ground.

Zuobo took two steps back in shock, bumping into a short and soft body - that petite figure in black robe.A female voice she seemed to have heard somewhere passed through the smoke and reached her ears: "Senior Saeki, come with me."

"You are..." Zuo Bo grabbed her arm, his tone was full of disbelief, "Student Ye?"

"Yes." Ye Li took a step forward. Amidst the chaotic shouts, her lazy voice was very clear: "You said you had no choice, so we are here——now do you want to stay or follow us?" Walk?"

※※※

ten hours ago.

"This is crazy!" Qihai Dengzi slapped the table vigorously, "Nort, do you know what you are talking about?!"

"What don't you know!" Landon Knott growled with his neck stuck, "I told you, I can't just stand by and do nothing, I'm going to snatch a marriage!"

"You..." Qi Hai was at a loss for words for a while, "You are not someone from Sha Mixiang at all, so why..."

"I care so much about him!" Langdon walked around the room excitedly, "We can't let the marriage contract succeed! Don't you think so too? Is there a better way now?!"

Qihai couldn't help being silent.Yu Koito smoothed things over in a timely manner: "Even if you want to snatch the marriage, we still need a plan. Do you know where the engagement ceremony will be held?"

"At Rozier's house," Ye Li, who had been silent all this time, finally raised his head at this moment, "we will start receiving guests at 07:30 tonight, and the ceremony will be held at nine o'clock."

Yu looked at Qihai, who exchanged a helpless look with her: "Student Ye, have you really considered that you want to act with Nott?"

"Yes," Ye Li replied clearly, "I'm sorry that I failed to convince Senior Saeki to complete the two commissions. From yesterday to today, a sentence that Senior Saeki said has been lingering in my mind—she Saying she 'has no choice' - but that's not the case, I want to show her that the choice is always there, it's just up to her to reach out."

"...In this case," Nanami crossed her hands, "then make a plan. I can help you get the floor plan of Rozier's house, the guest list and the detailed ceremony plan, but I will not act with you—— "

"—you'd better not come," Langdon looked at her threateningly, "you let her... let her... you have no face to show up at her engagement ceremony!"

Qihai sat up straight indifferently: "There are two reasons why I'm not suitable to appear: one is that I don't want to give Sha Mixiang the illusion; the other is you——Nort, I believe that we will never have a happy day of cooperation."

"Okay, okay," Yu interjected at the right time, "Since this is the case, let's split up. Senior Nanami is in charge of intelligence collection, Li and Nott are in charge of implementing the plan, and I'm in charge of external support—"

"—you'd better not show up," Langdon pointed his middle finger at her viciously, "I don't think Zobo wants to see you, a half-breed bastard—"

"Landon Knott!" With Qihai's loud shout, Langdon and the single sofa fell to the ground together, "Apologize to me!"

"Senior, don't—" Yu took her hand holding the wand, "Don't be like this—"

"I will never allow anyone to insult you, let alone in front of me!" Qihai still pointed at Langdon with the tip of her stick, and the latter curled up on the ground in embarrassment, as if enduring some invisible pain: "I—cough, Yes—sorry!"

Only then did Qihai put down her wand.Langdon seemed a little more relaxed. He struggled to get up, biting his lower lip to the point of bleeding.Ye Li waved his wand unbearably, summoned a bottle of healing potion and handed it to him, but he stubbornly refused.

"Remember, Qihai," he wiped the blood from his mouth, "one day, you will pay for your actions."

"I'll return the original words to you." Qi Hai no longer looked at him, but turned to Ye Li and asked, "Student Ye, do you have any blessings?"

"Ah," Ye Li quickly replied, "Yes, I was just about to say it——I will prepare a Felicia Elixir for two, and let Nott and I take it before carrying out the plan."

"That would be the best," Qihai softened her brows and eyes. "In this case, the success rate will be greatly improved-of course, this is just to allow you to successfully reach the front of Sha Mixiang. The final choice depends on her."

※※※

—Do you want to stay, or do you want to go with us?

These words were like the sharpest sword, piercing deep into Saeki Samika's heart.All the belated regrets were released at that moment, and the frozen heart beat violently, injecting fresh blood into the limbs.Instead of speaking, she drew her wand—

— The smoke was dispelled.Panicked guests and a large number of empty seats came into view, Landon Knott's black robe had been lifted, and he was sitting on a guard with a bloody head; her parents were hugging each other not far away , after seeing her, she was both surprised and happy, and shouted: "Samixiang!"

"—Father, Mother," Saeki's hand paused, "I'm sorry."

Holding Ye Li, she swung her wand while running, and deliberately bumped into Langdon Knott's shoulder at the moment of casting the spell——

"Apparate!"

——"噗嗤" There was a loud explosion, and the feeling of being oppressed by the air hit.The three of them became dizzy for a while, and when they shook their heads, they were already in the cool night wind.Zuo Bo let go of Ye Li, gasping for breath; Langdon grabbed the air and stared at the scene in front of him blankly, as if he hadn't recovered yet.

"This, this is—where?" Ye Li stabilized his body carefully, and found himself on the roof of a high-rise building. The traffic at the bottom of the building was dense and colorful, and the crowd was like ants.

"Where you brought me," Saeki replied breathlessly, "the roof of that movie theater—sorry, my first reaction was here."

"It doesn't matter." Ye Li took off his black robe, and put it on for Zubo who slid on the ground leaning on the sink, "It's absolutely impossible to be found here."

Landon Knott realized now: "Is this a Muggle territory?" He wiped the blood from his head suspiciously, "Is it really okay to stay here?"

"It's okay, it's not far from Diagon Alley—your head is covered with blood, just wipe some on it." Ye Li took out the healing potion; this time, Langdon didn't refuse.He slumped on the ground, sprinkled some on his head indiscriminately, then stared straight at Zuobo who was holding the black robe tightly, his eyes were full of suppressed affection: "Zebo, how are you?"

"I'm fine," Saeki said, avoiding his gaze. "Thank you, Langdon."

After a while, she said again, "Why are you here?"

The man was silent for a while, then pulled out a silver pendant from his neck: "The dance at the end of May this year, Nanami Lantern, and you—I know everything, Saeki."

Zuobo's breathing became rapid: "Did your brother tell you?"

Langdon smiled miserably: "Not only that, he also gave me this pendant - as long as I release the magic inside, everyone's memories will be restored."

"Don't!" Zobo subconsciously shouted, and it took a moment to realize his gaffe: "It's not good for you or Slytherin—"

"—I know, especially for you." Langdon slowly let go of the pendant, the silver chain pendant dangling from his chest, "so I won't free it."

After that, he pressed his wand against the emerald on the pendant, and looked at Zuobo without blinking: "I will destroy it, but please promise me that you will never do anything against your heart again. "

Saeki held his breath.

During the long silence, for a moment, Ye Li almost thought that she would not agree.But Saeki Samika finally let out a long sigh of relief and nodded: "I promise you, Langdon."

Langdon Knott's eyes lit up, and he said something quickly, and the luster flowing in the emerald disappeared.Taking off the pendant, he approached the woman sitting on the ground with it, and stretched out his hand tremblingly: "Okay, here you are."

"Why?" Saeki looked at him with some confusion.

The crew-haired man showed a somewhat childish smile: "I like you, Saeki, I have never given you anything before."

"..." The woman's eyes flashed slightly, and she lowered her head after a moment, "Thank you... Langdon, but I'm sorry... I can't accept it." Like a tired soldier, she opened her lips lightly, and finally said That line: "I like women, you know that."

The man's smile froze.After a while, he straightened up and looked into the distance in a daze.

"Very well," he said, "very well."

"Very good." He repeated, walked to the edge of the building, and then threw it vigorously—

The pendant drew a beautiful silver arc in the air, and then disappeared.

"Then no," he murmured, "no."

Behind him, Ye Li slapped his head as if remembering something, and took out a golden vial and a small library from his robe.

"Senior Saeki, this is the Felicity Elixir," she handed the bottle of potion to the woman sitting on the ground, "a potion that will bring you good luck. Take it, and then go back, you will know what to do Explain what just happened."

"Also, this book—" She hesitated for a while, and finally handed it out. "This is a book I bought specially for you. If you don't want it, I will throw it away."

The book in the girl's hand is the "Prisoner Bird".

Saeki took the book, stroking the canary on the cover who ignored the open cage door and just stayed in the cage wholeheartedly, tears suddenly appeared in his eyes.She blinked desperately, endured the soreness, then gripped the book tightly, and said, "Thank you, Classmate Ye."

"You're welcome."

Ye Li smiled at her and held out his hand.

Saeki Samika stood up with strength and walked out of the shadow cast by the sink.

In her hand, the small silver-plated characters on the back of the "Prisoner Bird" reflected the light moonlight——

"I'm not going to be that caged bird anymore, never again. ""

Chapter8 Prison Bird End

Inter-chapter July 9st

The Hogwarts library on Saturday is a clean and good place. There are neither crowds of people rushing to do their homework on Sunday night, nor are there so many well-behaved people studying like Monday to Friday.With a pot of honey tea, a quill pen and a roll of parchment, Ye Li can spend an entire afternoon here.

Ye Li liked the feeling of indulging in the virtual world constructed by the smooth ink on the pen tip the most, so when the chair opposite was pulled away and made disturbing creaking noises, she frowned reflexively.

However, after seeing the person coming, her frown that was tightly furrowed immediately relaxed, and turned into a raised eyebrow in surprise.

"Senior Saeki?"

A woman with flaxen hair smoothed the hem of her robe and sat down opposite her.The golden single-sided glasses that accompanied her in the past disappeared, and the unshaded eyes refracted the sunlight outside the window, showing a kind of almost transparent emerald green, which was so beautiful that it made people tremble.

"Don't come here, classmate Ye." She put her hand on the table with a smile, and there were no books in her arms. It seemed that she didn't come here to study.

"Senior is the one," Li blurted out, "I haven't seen you for a few days, what happened afterwards?"

Saeki Samika made a calm gesture and said slowly: "It took a little time to deal with that matter, but it's all right now."

"...Really?" Ye Li looked at her worriedly, and at the same time conjured up a teacup and poured her a cup of honey tea.

Saeki thanked you, and took it over: "I am very grateful to you, Classmate Ye, on this matter—so I think you have the right to know. Your Felician is very effective," she raised the teacup to her lips, "I I confessed it to my parents when I went back, and they accepted it temporarily beyond my expectation."

"You—you came out?" Ye Li asked carefully.

Saeki put down the teacup: "No, I didn't. I said I was an unmarriageist. They didn't quite understand it, but they reluctantly accepted it—they said they would give me more time to think about it."

After a pause, she continued: "As for the outcome of that matter—Langdon probably told the family the truth, so the Nott family came to negotiate; they successfully diverted the anger and attention of the Rozier family. My father was very grateful for their rescue, and finally established a friendly relationship with the Nott family."

Noticing Ye Li's nervousness for a moment, she comforted her: "It's okay, classmate Ye, they didn't find you."

Ye Li smiled wryly: "Noter is loyal and didn't confess me."

Saeki took a sip of his tea: "I didn't expect that either—although his mind is not very good, he is unexpectedly reliable in some strange places."

"Haha," Li laughed dryly, "Senior Saeki is still so ruthless."

The woman on the opposite side raised her mouth: "I'm also strict with literary works. Regarding the "Prisoner Bird" you gave me, I wrote a post-reading review during the past few days at home. Do you want to read it?"

As a loyal fan of Lin Lianmo, Ye Li suddenly felt a complicated mood of a dilemma.She wanted to see it, but was afraid that the other party's evaluation would be bad; she touched her ears in confusion, and finally gritted her teeth under Zueber's gentle gaze: "Look!"

Zuo Bo chuckled, waved his wand, and a roll of parchment about [-] inches long was slowly unfolded in front of Ye Li.The handwriting on the paper was beautiful and slender, neatly arranged; Ye Li quickly scanned it, and after confirming that it was a good review, he let out a long breath, and looked at the parchment with some unconcealed excitement: "The writing is so good, there is I didn’t notice a few metaphors! Senior, have you taken a literary analysis class?”

"I used to do it when I was young." Zuo Bo showed a very subtle expression for a moment, as if it was not a good memory for her.

Ye Li, who was busy reminiscing, didn't notice anything strange about the other party, and said with great interest: "Speaking of which, I have some outlines here. I wonder if senior is interested in helping me to read?"

"Okay." Seeing that the other party was interested, Saeki couldn't interrupt her, "but I don't read novels very much, so maybe I can't give you any good advice."

"It doesn't matter, it's all a story outline, senior just tell me your feelings..." When talking about her field of expertise, the girl gradually let go of her restraint and opened up the conversation.Although Saeki didn't like novels, he was gradually attracted by the stories in her mouth, and the two discussed each other one by one.

The teapot was empty and full, full and empty again, after Ye Li got up to go to the bathroom for the third time, Zuobo stood up and bowed slightly apologetically: "Sorry, Classmate Ye, I have to go back to the Slytherin public. It's time for the lounge—I have an appointment for dinner."

"Senior Qihai?" Ye Li said quickly, and mentioned another name that was close to the restricted area of ​​the person in front of him.Seeing Zuobo's movements froze, she was extremely annoyed; she was about to apologize, but saw the other party's expression returned to normal: "She ran to Hufflepuff whenever she was free recently, where did she get time to accompany me? She values ​​sex over friends guy."

At the end, he actually smiled.Ye Li couldn't tell if there was a bit of sincerity or a bit of pretense in that smile, but the only thing she could confirm was that this senior had at least decided how to do it.

——In this case, she can only bless her choice.Ye Li nodded and jokingly said, "It's the same with You, he hasn't had dinner with us for a long time."

"Right," Saeki said with a chuckle, "I'm dating my dance partner, you probably don't know him, she's a sixth-grade boy from our academy."

"Dance partner?" Ye Li was stunned for a moment, and then realized, "Oh, you mean the joint dance of the Fourth Hospital next Tuesday night?"

"Yes, will Classmate Ye go?"

"I...I won't go," Ye Li embarrassedly scratched the back of his head, "I don't know how to dance at all."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but think of her friend Koito Yu.This joint dance of the four houses has been hyped more than a week ago. Since it was scheduled on the eve of the election week and was initiated by the seniors of the four houses, most people agreed that it was a different kind of election mobilization meeting.Koito Yu, as one of Nanami Toko's important supporters, will definitely attend, but the problem is——

Ye Li remembered that she could not dance either.

※※※

Ye Li's worry was not without reason.At this moment, Yuu Koito was clumsily repeating the female steps with changing patterns, and then No.30 stepped on Seiji Maki's foot for the second time.

"Ouch!" Maki cried out in pain, "Koito-san, take it easy..."

"Yes, I'm sorry!" Yu moved his foot away in a panic, "Are you okay?"

"I don't feel well," Maki's mouth twitched slightly, "My instep seems to be swollen."

"Swollen?" Yu hurriedly pulled out his wand, "Show me? I know a very effective spell for treating abscesses, but if it's too serious, we'll have to go to Madam Pomfrey—"

"No, no, no need." Seeing that Yuu was about to squat down, Seiji Maki stepped back a few steps as if facing an enemy, "I'll just do it myself."

"..." You just pulled up the sleeve of your right hand, and couldn't help being a little hurt when you saw this: "Is there such a healing spell that doesn't trust me...?"

"Uh, no, I'm just...uh..." Seiji Maki wiped his sweat, and cast a look for help somewhere behind Koito, "Senior Nanami," he raised his voice, "you should come out as well." right?"

Hearing this, Koito turned around in shock, and saw a black-haired woman in a green-lined black robe slowly walking out from the shadow behind the pillar, with a hint of doubt in her voice: "When did you find out?"

"I think...it should be shortly after the start." Seiji Maki calmly took two steps back in the direction of the corridor, "Talk slowly, I'll be leaving first."

Before Yu could speak, the boy quickly disappeared at the door.She turned her head and saw the "culprit" looking at her innocently: "Your friend is really sharp."

The corners of Yu's eyes trembled: "Senior, peeping tom."

"Ah? No!" Qihai Dengzi yelled aggrievedly, "I just miss you a little... that's all," she shrugged awkwardly, "Besides, you told me that you had something to do this afternoon, but in the end you came to follow me He practiced dancing alone?"

"I..." You's face was a little hot, he hesitated and said: "I don't... want to be alone with him, just... don't want you to know that I... can't dance."

As she spoke, her head lowered along with her voice.The already petite figure is even more fragile and cute, which makes Qihai's heart warm. She can't help striding forward, gently stretching her arms, and pulling her into her arms: "What does it matter? You are already in the Muggle world When you grow up, it's quite normal not to know how to dance with wizards, and I won't look down on you because of it."

"I understand," Yu put his arms around her waist, his face became hotter and hotter, "but I just don't want you to know..."

"But I already know," Nanami kissed her forehead, "Don't bother Maki-kun, practice with me, I can dance the male step."

As she spoke, she slid her hand down, pinched Yu's right hand, and guided her to lift it up: "This way, hold me firmly."

"I, what if I step on you?"

"Then step on it," Qihai laughed happily, "I quite trust your healing spell."

This time I changed to quit: "No!"

Qihai stopped her pace: "Why?"

"You will hurt," Yu said bluntly, "I don't want it."

"There are so many things that will hurt me," Qihai gently brushed the girl's fallen sideburns behind her ears, "but you were never one of them."

Even if you step on me, I'm still happy - Nanami's eyes convey this without a doubt.Yu couldn't help but clenched her arm: "Senior..."

Seeing that her lover was wavering, Qi Hai quickly struck while the iron was hot: "Besides, I'll be jealous if you dance with others."

"..." Yu pondered for a while hesitantly, and finally raised his head reluctantly: "Okay..."

With permission, Nanami smiled happily; she hugged the girl's waist and took the first step as a guide.Koito Yu struggled to follow her steps, trying to adjust the order and position of her feet, trying not to step on her.

The two danced slowly in the empty classroom like this.

It's strange to say, I don't know whether Qihai's spring-like soothing in her ear has played a role, or Qihai's skills are really better than Maki Seiji, Yu gradually became less tense, and her steps changed from the original chaotic Gotta get organized.Half an hour later, she was able to concentrate and speak: "Senior, I heard that Senior Saeki came back to school today."

"Yes," Qihai slowed down, "After Nott intervened, Zobo and Rozier have reached a settlement, and the matter has been revealed."

"That's good," Yu said with a long sigh of relief, "That night was really chaotic, I never thought that Senior Saiki would say 'no' at that time."

"I didn't expect that either," Qihai cast her gaze into the air, "Sa Mixiang, she has always...followed the rules, and I'm glad she finally understands that 'rules' are not necessarily correct—thanks a lot, classmate Ye."

After that, she smiled and kissed the top of Yu's head: "Thank you for taking me with them - your illusion spell is really excellent - even if I have already experienced it, I still have to say that."

Yu's ears turned red: "Although you said that to Nott on the surface, but such a foolish plan, if you don't see it with your own eyes, you won't be at ease. I know, so you don't have to thank me."

Qihai gently squeezed her hand and stopped.

"Senior?" Yu looked up suspiciously, but unexpectedly, Nanami grabbed her chin.

"You...is this kind of place," Qihai stared at her and sighed deeply, "I like it so much..."
