Chapter 138 Ring
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jiang Li killed his master and fell into the path of evil.
No one knew what she was thinking at the time, and everyone called her an ungrateful person.
Jiang Li also became the target of everyone in the cultivation world.
Snape followed Jiang Li's memory and watched her escape from danger time and time again, surviving in difficulty and pain.
Look at how hard she tried to get to the top of the demon world, becoming a feared demon in the world of cultivation, and continuing to complete her mission.
Finally, Jiang Li died calmly under the knife of his junior brother, just like his senior brothers and sisters.
Snape seemed to be able to feel Jiang Li's inner joy.
The memory came to an abrupt end, and Snape looked up from the Pensieve as if drowning, and met Dumbledore's slightly surprised expression.
"You saw Gardenia's memories, what did you do."
"I don't know either," Snape replied.
He was still immersed in Jiang Li's memories and unable to come back to his senses.
Snape had also guessed what Jiang Li’s past experiences were like before.
He thought Jiang Li must be a child who grew up being spoiled, so he was so gentle.
I didn't expect her life to be full of calculations.
"Albus, I got the bottle."
Jiang Li returned to the principal's office with the bottle. Seeing Snape was there, he asked curiously, "Why are you here?"
"Professor Slughorn asked me to bring over some potions," Snape replied.
Slughorn greatly enjoyed influencing successful lives, saw potential in Snape, and often taught him individually.
Although Snape also knew those things, he did not reject the professor's kindness and occasionally ran errands for him.
Jiang Li also knew these things. When he was putting away the memories in the Pensieve, he paused and looked at Dumbledore.
Dumbledore smiled back and said, "I didn't look into your memory."
If it wasn't Dumbledore, then it must be Snape.
In an instant, she understood why Snape could see her memories and why there was her blood in Snape's body.
Although they were merged, the restrictions were rather sloppy, so it was normal for Snape to be able to see his own memories.
"Would you like to come back with me?" she invited Snape.
Snape nodded and followed her.
After leaving the principal's office, he said to Jiang Li: "I'm sorry, I read your memories in the Pensieve without your consent."
Jiang Li was not too surprised, he looked at Snape with a serious expression and said: "I have already told you, I am not a good person, I am despicable and cruel, a terrorist who climbs up by stepping on the corpses of others.
Moreover, I extracted this memory and watched other people’s miserable conditions over and over again like a pervert. If you distance yourself from me because of this…”
"You are not a cruel person."
Snape interrupted Jiang Li, looked at her seriously and said, "I know you just don't want to forget those people who are important to you."
Jiang Li paused, looking a little surprised.
She didn't expect Snape to think this way. After all, there seemed to be no one in the wizarding world as cruel as her, to put it bluntly.
In fact, she felt that Voldemort was much kinder than what she had done.
"Do you... have any mental illness?" Jiang Li looked at Snape hesitantly.
After seeing her horrific memories, shouldn't a normal person try to escape and avoid being caught by a pervert like her?
Snape: "..." He felt that it was unnecessary for him to comfort Jiang Li.
"No, I'm mentally normal."
He looked at Jiang Li who acted as if nothing had happened and said, "I just thought it would be nice if I could have met you earlier."
"What? Let two unlucky guys get together?"
Jiang Li looked at Snape in shock, "How could you have such a horrible idea?"
Snape was silent for a second, and couldn't help but gently pinch Jiang Li's cheek and grit his teeth and said, "Gardenia, do you really have to spoil the fun when we are being sentimental?"
"Sorry, I couldn't help it, hahaha..."
Looking at Snape who was about to become autistic, Jiang Li opened his arms towards him and said:
"Thank you very much for your comfort, Mr. Snape. I think I need a hug now. Maybe you can help me with this."
Snape looked at Jiang Li's outstretched hand and held her in his arms without hesitation.
It was a very warm hug. Jiang Li leaned his face on his shoulder and could smell the faint scent of medicine from him.
In fact, after going through so many things, she has become indifferent to feelings, and those experiences will not touch her heart as they did at the beginning.
But Snape's comfort still made her feel a little happy, as well as an unknown sense of grievance.
It would be a pity to miss this person.
She said to Snape, "We'll get married when you graduate."
Snape was thinking about how to invite Jiang Li to the Christmas ball, but when he heard these words, his brain froze.
"what are you saying?"
He squeezed out his voice with difficulty from his throat, trying to confirm whether he had heard it wrongly.
"I said get married."
Jiang Li looked relaxed, as if he was saying that the weather was nice today. "After graduation, you will be an adult and you can marry me."
Snape was finally sure that he had heard correctly.
Although he planned to propose to Jiang Li when they graduated and had already started preparing, Jiang Li was too fast.
"Gardenia, I think something like a proposal should be more formal." Snape said seriously.
So just let him propose.
Hearing this, Jiang Li thought seriously, "You are right, it is indeed a bit hasty. I will give you a proposal ceremony next time. So are you willing to accept my proposal now?"
Snape: "..." So you didn't listen to what he said at all?
He rubbed his brows helplessly.
Looking at Jiang Li who was waiting for his answer, he sighed.
"I am willing."
Although it was a bit ridiculous and hasty, Snape couldn't refuse.
He wanted to be with Jiang Li very much.
"Then put the ring on me."
Jiang Li took out a diamond ring the size of a pigeon egg from his bracelet and put it into Snape's hand.
This was the ring that Jiang Li bought from Snape's vault at a Muggle auction.
Snape glanced at the ostentatious and dazzling ring and slightly closed his fingers.
"Actually, I prepared a ring for you."
He pulled out a sapphire ring from his storage bracelet.
The sunlight outside the window hits the egg-shaped sapphire, reflecting a dreamy light. The light is like falling stars or the mysterious light in the deep sea, dotted with many diamonds.
From the first moment he saw the sapphire, Snape thought Jiang Li would look good wearing it.
So I saved for a long time and finally bought it, but I didn’t expect that I was one step behind Jiang Li.
He put the ring on Jiang Li's fair finger. His heart beat faster, his breathing became uncontrollable, and his fingers trembled slightly.
Jiang Li admired this beautiful sapphire ring.
I have to say that Snape knew her very well. He bought the biggest gems, which were much more beautiful than her diamond ring.
"Since you put the ring on me, I will put it on you too."
She took back the diamond ring she had just given Snape, used Transfiguration to make the ring into the right size, and put it on Snape's middle finger.
"It's really beautiful. I have a good taste." Jiang Li praised.
Snape had long fingers with distinct joints, and his palms were much larger than hers, so he didn't look ostentatious even with a diamond ring the size of a pigeon egg.
Snape hesitated.
He thought the ring was a bit too exaggerated.
