Chapter 117 Confession 2
Elena excitedly ran to Jiang Li, opened her arms, hugged Jiang Li tightly, and felt the warmth from Jiang Li's body.
Only then was it confirmed that Jiang Li had really returned.
"You are finally back."
Her voice was a little choked up. "I thought you would never come back."
Jiang Li raised his hand and patted Elena's back, saying gently: "I'm not dead, of course I have to come back to see you."
Snape, standing next to him, stared at the scene with an expressionless face.
"Why are you here? Aren't you going to teach alchemy to the students in the club?" he asked in a deep voice.
I finally found a quiet place, why are there still people here? Can't these idiots just quietly hide away?
"I just thought of something interesting, so I wanted to come here to make it. I didn't expect to see Professor Malfoy."
Elena pretended not to hear his disgust and held Jiang Li's hand tightly, like a child who had suffered a great deal of injustice. Her nose was red, her eyes were filled with tears, and she stared at Jiang Li closely.
"Professor, I miss you so much. Where have you been? I'm really worried about you."
She looked at Jiang Li and expressed her longing, "I feel so lonely without you. No one in school can understand my thoughts like you do.
If you want to leave next time, can you tell me in advance? I want to leave with you. I will only feel safe when I stay with the professor."
Snape opened his mouth and closed it again.
"Don't worry, I won't leave again. This time was just an accident."
Jiang Li patted Elena's shoulder and asked her curiously, "What experiment are you doing?"
Upon hearing this, Elena immediately happily introduced her research to Jiang Li.
After three years of research, Elena's alchemy skills have improved a lot, and she is now able to independently create some of her own small inventions.
Jiang Li stood behind Elena, listening to her explanation carefully and offering his own opinions from time to time.
It was as if Elena's Ren and Du meridians were opened, and she did not fail when carving the magic circle.
The two studied for nearly an hour before Jiang Li realized that he was supposed to talk to Snape.
She turned to Snape and asked, "What did you want to tell me just now?"
"Nothing," Snape replied.
Elena had already finished what he was about to say.
Whenever he talks about it now, it sounds like he is just repeating what others have said.
"You two can chat first. I have something else to do. I'll come over later."
After saying this, Snape turned and left and went to the alchemy room.
Jiang Li felt a little strange.
Could it be that I just ignored Snape too much and made him angry?
She sat next to Elena, looked at Elena with a serious expression and said, "Elena, do you think Snape looks weird?"
"No, hasn't he always been like this?" Elena replied.
"Really?" Jiang Li was a little surprised, "But I feel like he seems very unhappy, not like before."
Seeing the distressed expression in Jiang Li's eyes, Elena asked cautiously:
"Professor, do you... like Snape?"
Jiang Li was slightly stunned and asked puzzledly: "Why do you feel this way?"
"Because when you see him, your smile becomes very bright." Elena replied.
Normally Jiang Li smiled gently and was calm and composed. But when he saw Snape, he became lively with a bright light in his eyes.
"When I see someone I like, I feel very happy and will subconsciously follow her every move and talk to her."
Elena stared at Jiang Li and expressed her feelings, "Just looking at each other makes me satisfied, but I also want to get closer to her. I hope that she only has me in her eyes."
Jiang Li's almond eyes were slightly startled.
Is this what love is?
She thought she wanted to kiss Snape on the mouth simply because she was a pervert.
Did you fall in love with each other?
Jiang Li stood up and said to Elena, "Thank you for your reminder. I have something to deal with now. I will discuss your new invention with you later."
She turned and walked out. Elena stood up, looked at Jiang Li's back, moved her lips, and a lost expression appeared on her face. In the end, she did not chase after him.
It's getting dark outside.
Jiang Li found Snape under a tree by the Black Lake.
The moonlight fell on the lake, the water was sparkling, and the refracted light flickered on Snape's face.
His eyelids were slightly drooped, with a hint of loneliness on his young face. The wind was blowing gently, and his black hair was swaying slightly in the wind.
Hearing the footsteps, Snape looked in the direction of Jiang Li, and his unhappy expression turned into surprise.
"Why did you follow me? Aren't you studying alchemy with Elena?" he asked Jiang Li.
Jiang Li walked towards Snape firmly, stopped in front of him, and stared into his eyes seriously.
Snape felt his ears getting hot from her stare, so he turned away and asked, "What do you want?"
"Severus."
Jiang Li looked at Snape and said word by word in a clear voice:
"I like you, not as a friend, but as a lover."
The wind around seemed to have stopped. Jiang Li's words kept echoing in Snape's mind, and huge waves were rising in his heart.
He stared at Jiang Li in a daze, wondering if he had heard it wrongly.
"I know it's hard for you to accept this change, but I hope you can date me."
Jiang Li looked at Snape without any hesitation and expressed his thoughts.
"What will you do if I don't date you?" Snape looked at Jiang Li and asked after hesitating for a second.
Hearing this, Jiang Li thought about it seriously and replied: "If you don't like me, then I will think of other ways to make you like me. But it is also possible that if you don't accept my confession now, I will not like you anymore, so you don't need to worry too much."
Snape: "..." So careless?
"I agree."
Before Jiang Li could make more explosive remarks, he looked at her seriously and said word by word:
"I love you too, so let's date."
Hot love poured out of his mouth. Snape had never said such blunt words before. His heart was pounding and his cheeks were flushed, mixed with nervous joy.
"Don't you think I'm a pervert?"
Jiang Li looked at Snape in surprise and said, "An adult, and a professor at that, confessing to his underage student, don't you think this is a very beastly thing to do?"
Snape actually agreed to date her, and Jiang Li was prepared to be rejected.
She felt that if she encountered such a thing, she would probably beat the other person up.
"Ms. Malfoy, you don't seem to realize that I am not an ordinary child. I am much older than you are and I know what I am doing."
Snape looked into Jiang Li's light blue eyes and said seriously, "I am very sure of my feelings. I cannot accept missing you."
