Chapter 28 Bugs

"Are you worried about me?" Jiang Li looked at Snape with a smile and said, "I think he is a nice guy and he likes to eat candy very much."

Seeing her playful smile, Snape frowned and said, "I'm reminding you that he is very smart. You don't know when you will fall into his trap. It's better to stay away from him."

“I like smart people playing chess.”

Jiang Li looked down at Snape and said seriously, "In my previous life, I met many smart people. When I played chess with them, I would ponder their ideas and think about what they should do next. I was often amazed by some of their ideas.

I don’t think being tricked by smart people is a panic-inducing thing. People often panic because they don’t have enough firepower.”

Jiang Li hates the calculations of stupid people more than the calculations of smart people.

Because she couldn't predict what those stupid fools were thinking.

Stupid people often do things that hurt others and themselves. Jiang Li's plans in his previous life were defeated several times by those stupid people.

Seeing that she refused to listen, Snape frowned and said nothing.

"Okay, I know you are worried about me." Jiang Li hugged his shoulders and said affectionately, "As long as I don't want to get involved, no one can manipulate me."

Snape felt his shoulder hit something soft. He was stunned for a second. When he came to his senses, his face turned red instantly.

He pushed Jiang Li away and said angrily: "Gardenia Malfoy! Do you know that you are a girl?!"

Jiang Li looked confused. What did he do just now?

"As a woman, it is the most basic common sense to keep a distance from the opposite sex." Snape looked at Jiang Li and said word by word, "I hope you can grow your brain and not fill your head with food."

Jiang Li:?

Why are you making personal attacks?

After shopping for gifts in Hogsmeade Village, Jiang Li took Snape home to decorate the Christmas tree.

Snape had no interest in this kind of thing, but was caught by Jiang Li to do the job.

He used a cleaning spell to clean the roof and walls, and then used a levitation spell to hang all the colored light bulbs.

Jiang Li placed a huge spruce tree at the door, fixed the bottom of the tree with magic, and began to hang various candies and red envelopes on the tree.

There is also a Christmas tree in the living room, and underneath it are filled with gifts. These are the gifts Jiang Li plans to give to his friends for Christmas.

Seeing that Snape had only prepared two gift boxes, Jiang Li asked curiously, "Are you only going to give two gifts?"

"I'm not as sociable as Miss Malfoy. I can't make friends wherever I go." Snape said gloomily.

Jiang Li clenched his fist with one hand and pounded it on the palm of his other hand. He looked at Snape with an expression of "I understand" and said, "So I am your best friend in the world."

Snape: "..."

He didn't say anything, fearing that if he said too much, Jiang Li would become even more proud.

As a result, Jiang Li turned around and directed Mia to pick mung beans, without any intention of expressing any opinions.

Seeing this, Snape's face became long and he stared at Jiang Li intently.

Jiang Li felt uncomfortable under his gaze.

"Why have you been looking at me?"

She glared back at Snape sharply.

Snape turned his face away and said calmly: "No one wants to wish me a Merry Christmas."

"That's true." Jiang Li nodded in approval, "You don't have many friends."

Snape:?

"You didn't say that before. You said I was the most precious..."

Halfway through his speech, Snape realized how disgusting what he was about to say was and immediately shut up.

In order to avoid Jiang Li's ridicule, he simply closed his eyes and pretended that nothing had happened.

Jiang Li was amused when he saw him trying to cover up his mistake.

She held Snape's cheeks, and seeing that he refused to open his eyes, she simply pried open his eyelids with her fingers.

Snape: "..."

He was almost laughing at Jiang Li's behavior.

"Severus, you are different from Severus." Jiang Li looked into his eyes and said seriously, "You are also my friend. I will always be with you, so don't worry about no one to spend Christmas with you."

Her gaze was so sincere that Snape felt like he was burned. He wanted to look away, but Jiang Li held his face tightly.

"I've already said it. Now it's your turn. Just tell me that I'm your best friend in the world and that you want to be with me forever."

The flesh on Snape's cheeks was squeezed together by Jiang Li's hands, and his brows were tightly furrowed.

"How can you force people to swear like you do?"

"Will you tell me or not?" Jiang Li pinched his face and threatened, "If my best friend's best friend is not me, I will beat him to death."

"..."

Jiang Li is beautiful, and even when she makes a fierce expression, she still looks cute.

Snape was silent for a few seconds, then moved his lips and said in an imperceptible voice: "You are not my best friend."

Jiang Li didn't hear clearly what he said. When she was about to ask, Snape had already broken free from her hands, ran quickly into the room and closed the door.

"Mia, did you hear clearly what he said just now?" Jiang Li asked Mia.

"Mia didn't hear clearly, Mia is a useless elf, Mia should punish herself."

Mia said as she started to hit herself on the head with a rolling pin.

Jiang Li looked at his headache and immediately said, "Okay, stop fighting, go play."

Snape returned to the room and thought of what Jiang Li had just said, his eyes dimmed.

He walked over to the desk and took a book off the shelf.

The book was opened, and inside it lay a dried lily, with a girl swinging on a swing painted on the inside of the leaves.

Snape raised his hand and gently stroked Lily, whispering, "I will never let you get hurt this time."

The lights in the room were dim, and Snape looked at the lily with regret and sadness in his eyes.

"Knock knock knock."

Before he could worry for long, Jiang Li's cheerful voice came from outside the door.

"Severus, your herbs are ripe, would you like to collect them?"

Hearing this, Snape closed the book and placed it neatly on the bookshelf.

He opened the door and walked out. The living room had already been decorated. Jiang Li squatted in front of the flowers at the door and picked the flowers off the branches.

Snape put on his gloves and prepared to collect the latest batch of evening primroses.

When he arrived at the medicinal field, the leaves of the evening primrose in the entire field were gnawed into pits and pits. A bunch of big, fat, green insects with long horns were lying on the branches of the evening primrose, gnawing on the leaves.

Snape's mood instantly plummeted when the herbs he had taken so much pains to care for were eaten by these big fat bugs.

Soon he realized something was wrong.

"Your flowers are nearby, too. Why don't these bugs eat your flowers and seedlings?" Snape asked Jiang Li.

Jiang Li took a bite of the hot mung bean cake and answered casually, "I found fat worms in the flowers before, so I asked Mia to catch all the worms. I was afraid that they would starve to death, so I threw them into your medicinal field."

For a moment, Snape wondered if there was something wrong with his ears. How could he hear such a strange answer?
