Chapter 140 Merry Christmas

"No, it's an engagement ring." Jiang Li said with a smile.

Professor McGonagall: "..." This is probably not what she thought.

"You're engaged to Severus Snape, one of those fifth years in Slytherin?" she inquired.

"Yes, that's him."

Jiang Li gave a positive answer.

Hearing this, Professor McGonagall's expression became somewhat intriguing.

"But I remember that he is much younger than you, and you agreed to his proposal. Isn't that a bit hasty?" Professor McGonagall said.

She knew that saying this would make people unhappy, but she felt that Jiang Li needed to consider the matter carefully.

After all, Jiang Li is still so young and has better options.

"He didn't propose to me, I proposed to him." Jiang Li said calmly.

Professor McGonagall's expression became a little tense.

"I'm sorry, but I'm just a pervert who attacked a child."

Jiang Li deliberately showed a sinister smile to scare Professor McGonagall, "I want to refine all these little boys into elixirs to keep their youth forever."

"Gardenia, I know you are joking. You are not that kind of person." Professor McGonagall looked at Jiang Li and said.

No one believed the truth, Jiang Li sighed helplessly.

By the time they had decided on the content of the game, it was almost dark and the Christmas ball was about to begin.

Jiang Li changed into a pure black velvet dress, which made her look even whiter. When she walked, the diamonds on her dress sparkled like stars in the sky.

When she walked to the door, she saw Snape, wearing a pure black tuxedo, standing in the corridor and sorting his clothes.

The other person was unaware of her arrival. He smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes several times, his face slightly tense.

Jiang Li smiled as he saw Snape smooth out all the wrinkles on the clothes and relax only after he was sure there was no problem.

Snape looked down at the ring on his hand. The warm yellow light on the wall danced on the ends of his hair, dyeing his black hair the color of light. The corners of his lips couldn't help but rise, and his eyes were unusually gentle.

Jiang Li stood not far behind him, leaning against the wall, staring at him quietly, with a hint of tenderness in his light blue eyes.

After waiting for a long time and seeing no one coming out, Snape planned to go and ask, but when he turned around, he saw Jiang Li standing not far away, looking at him tenderly.

The heartbeat could not help but skip half a beat.

He walked towards Jiang Li and asked slowly, "Why didn't you call me?"

Jiang Li looked at his meticulously groomed hair and moved slightly closer to him.

Snape held his breath slightly and didn't dare to look down at Jiang Li.

"Did you wear perfume?"

Not smelling the familiar scent of medicine, Jiang Li asked curiously.

"No," Snape replied.

Jiang Li put his arm around him and praised him, "You look really good today."

Hearing this, Snape's dark eyes instantly brightened a lot, as if stars fell into his eyes, and the ends of his hair were shining with joy.

"You look beautiful too." He said in a gentle voice.

Jiang Li felt as if his ears were gently scratched by a feather, itching, and he glanced sideways at his cheek.

It looks very friendly.

She is indeed perverted.

The two walked into the dance party, where others were already dancing in the middle of the dance floor.

Jiang Li looked at the snacks on the table next to him, picked up a pink macaron and took a bite.

My throat felt like it was covered with a layer of syrup, so greasy that I wanted to vomit.

She looked around and didn't find any trash can, so she used Transfiguration to turn the macaron into a pink bracelet and put it on her wrist.

"Gardenia, do you want to dance?"

At this time, the dance music in the center of the dance floor has ended and the next one is about to begin. Many people are inviting their favorite dance partners.

Snape asked Jiang Li.

Jiang Li didn't want to dance at first, but when he saw the expectation in Snape's eyes, he stretched out his hand.

"Okay, but I'm not a good dancer. Don't blame me if I step on you," she reminded.

Hearing this, Snape's eyes brightened.

He held Jiang Li's hand and walked into the center of the dance floor. He placed his hand loosely on Jiang Li's waist and looked at her gently.

Jiang Li didn't think too much about it. He put his hand on his shoulder and stared at his steps seriously as the dance music began.

She was a little afraid of stepping on Snape. Today's high heels had pointed heels, and it would definitely be sore on her toes if she stepped on them.

When the dance ended, Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong.

Afraid that Snape would continue to dance, Jiang Li took the initiative to suggest: "Why don't we go out for a walk."

Snape was in a good mood. He held Jiang Li's hand tightly and nodded without hearing clearly.

By the time they reacted, both of them had already walked out of the auditorium.

Outside stood a giant Christmas tree, its pine needles enchanted to glow with colour in the dark night.

Jiang Li walked under the tree, his hair dyed with the color of the light.

She looked up at the Christmas tree and whispered, "It's mistletoe."

Snape looked up and saw mistletoe blooming among the branches, with white flowers blooming among the tender green branches.

Thinking of a certain statement, Snape felt his face getting hot and didn't dare to look at Jiang Li.

"Severus, let's kiss."

Jiang Li's clear voice rang in his ears, hitting Snape's heart hard.

Snape's heart began to beat wildly and his breathing became a little disordered. He looked at Jiang Li's bright eyes, which were stained with colors that he could not see clearly, and his whole body stiffened.

In comparison, Jiang Li is much more natural.

She didn't think too much about it. Looking at Snape's thin lips, she hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him gently.

Snape felt a soft touch at the corner of his lips, his pupils dilated slightly, and he could smell the other person's faint fragrance at the tip of his nose.

He subconsciously wrapped his arms around Jiang Li's waist and responded to the kiss somewhat awkwardly.

Jiang Li inserted his white fingers into his soft black hair and deepened the kiss in a domineering manner. Their breathing intertwined, and they seemed to hear each other's strong heartbeats.

The kiss ended and the two stared at each other.

Jiang Li seemed to have discovered a new world.

It turned out that he touched Snape's ears, which were red and bleeding.

"Severus."

She looked at Snape tenderly and said, "Your ears look like pig blood sausage."

Snape: "..."

The charming atmosphere was gone.

Jiang Li patted Snape's arm and said, "We'll kiss again later. That's all for today."

She felt like she had committed a crime against a minor.

Snape: "..."

"What? You want another kiss."

Jiang Li showed an expression that said "I really can't do anything about you" and kissed Snape again in the look of surprise.

Her eyelashes were long and thin, and she was alone in her deep blue eyes. Snape felt that the world was quiet, as if only they existed together.

Snape hugged Jiang Li's face and deepened the kiss until both of them were breathing heavily, and then he was reluctant to separate.

He hugged Jiang Li greedily, resting his head on her neck, and could still hear her strongly beating heartbeat.

This was the best Christmas present he had ever received.

Jiang Li raised his hand and touched his hair that was messed up during the kiss, and whispered: "Severus, Merry Christmas."
