The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

Chapter 457 Fate is hard to defy IV

"Acting, actor?"

Aarons originally thought that Jiangyue would not mention anything strange again, but before the two of them left the forbidden library, Jiangyue suddenly asked him a puzzling question.

…Did she recognize me? Can you give me a definite answer?

If it happens once or twice, you can say that you just misunderstood it, but if it happens several times in a row, there is definitely a problem!

"Sorry, I should have explained first... You should have seen it before. Although I am a lecturer in the academy, I am often harassed by young students."

...No, you can just beat them down with a wave of your hand, right?

"The problem is that these kids don't have any bad intentions, they probably just want to get closer to me... so I can't be too harsh on them."

"…So what do you mean?"

"Just now, when you were helping me deal with that boy who came to bother me, you seemed very calm and experienced... So I thought, if you can help me play the role of my... close friend, maybe we can reduce these troubles."

...No, no, no, this kind of thing is just stirring up hatred!

No matter from which perspective, Aarons could not accept Jiangyue's request.

He has no fighting ability now, and when facing a real magician, he can only barely save his life.

And playing the role of Jiangyue's close person means that he will become a party to the conflict... Not to mention others, just the harem-based male protagonist who treated him as air that he just met, he is completely unable to deal with it.

"Well, I'm just an outsider, and I'm not a magician. And even if I really agree to you, those kids probably won't take me seriously."

"That's right... Please forgive me. I made such an impolite request to you without considering the consequences. I am really sorry."

"But...I do have some experience."

Seeing that Jiangyue's mood suddenly became much more depressed, Aarons couldn't bear to just leave her like that.

Although I can't really be her shield, there's no problem in chatting with her for a while.

"After all, we have to play certain roles in our lives - children in the eyes of our parents, partners in the eyes of our lovers, parents in the eyes of our children, but these are actually somewhat different from our original selves."

Because the two were walking side by side, Aarons did not see the subtle changes in Jiangyue's expression.

"But who can tell which one is the real me? Sometimes people have to play a certain role for a long time in order to have a better life... But if you keep doing this, you will get tired one day."

In the forbidden library where no one else was, only Aarons' voice was echoing - and Jiang Yue deliberately lagged behind Aarons half a step at this time, while lowering her head slightly, as if thinking about something.

"So, Mr. Zi, you don't have to always play the role of a good teacher. If you feel that those students are offending you, you can criticize or punish them directly."

"Even if they don't mean any harm... is it the same?"

"Compared to malice, kindness is sometimes more serious... But this is just my shallow personal opinion, you don't have to worry too much."

While Aarons was calmly expressing his thoughts, Jiangyue also unconsciously and slowly stretched out her hand.

But just as her hand was about to touch Aarons' body, she seemed to wake up suddenly and quickly moved her fingers to her lips.

"Yeah... you're right."

However, Aarons did not notice Jiang Yue's reaction... His mind was now full of thoughts about what to say to reduce Jiang Yue's suspicion of him.

However, Jiang Yue did not say anything until the two of them walked out of the Forbidden Book Library and returned to the first floor of the library.

"Okay...it's getting late, so I won't waste your time, Mr. Zi."

"Thank you so much for today, sir... Will you come to the library later?"

Aarons really wanted to say that he would never come here again...but in order to smoothly guide the direction of his fate, he still gritted his teeth and gave an answer that might bring him trouble.

"...Yes, at least in the near future."

Being evasive at this time would probably make Jiang Yue suspicious - Aarons still didn't know whether the other party had discovered his identity. However, since Jiang Yue hadn't made a clear statement, it would be best to assume that she didn't know.

Of course, before confirming Jiang Yue’s true thoughts, it is better to keep a certain distance from her.

"See you next time, Mr. Nayam."

"Yeah...see you next time."

Until Aarons' figure completely disappeared from her sight, Jiang Yue did not express any doubt about his identity.

However, the other people in the library saw a scene that they would never forget.

"Yeah... it must be very tiring to keep playing a role you don't like."

Jiang Yue gently placed her finger on her lips, revealing a slightly bitter and lost expression - she looked like a girl who was reluctant to part with her lover, so sad that it was almost heartbreaking.

But in a flash, that fragile expression completely disappeared from her face.

It's like it never happened.

……

……

——So disgusting that I want to vomit.

Even if you close your feelings, the memories of your experiences will not disappear.

It didn't seem like a good idea to let one's body rely on instinct - because that wasn't a fight at all, but a sign of one's inner weakness.

"……Why?"

Mo Qianyun suppressed the churning feeling in her stomach and walked slowly towards the apartment with unsteady steps... This distance was not actually very far, but she hoped that she would never reach the end.

...Why was I so easily bewitched by those people?

Is it because I was expecting this result? Or am I being manipulated by some force?

Mo Qianyun couldn't understand why she chose "betrayal" so easily - to her, her behavior was a betrayal of Aarons.

...I have clearly vowed to devote the rest of my life to that person, but I began to waver because of a few words from others!

"……wrong."

However, the reason why Mo Qianyun was so painful was not that she felt she had been deceived, nor that she finally realized her inner weakness.

——Just because she realized the source of her hesitation.

【I don't want to limit your future. 】

The reason for everything actually came from that well-intentioned rejection... No, that was not goodwill at all, but another meaning that I had never thought about.

——That person, perhaps, didn’t need her… and others at all from the beginning.

"No! It's not like that..."

...But this might also be my excuse.

Just because you were rejected, you immediately gave up your original belief?

Am I really so weak that I completely lose the courage to challenge again just after failing once?

Or has my heart already accepted the so-called fate... and decided to choose another future that will not fail?

"Woo..."

——The ugliness and weakness within are disgusting.

Mo Qianyun didn't know what to do... She didn't know why Aarons rejected her, nor did she know how she could resist the so-called fate.

Or... following fate is the right choice?

[Do you really have that kind of courage? ]

[…After all, even if you don’t resist, the original ending is still beautiful. ]

[——We will definitely help you get rid of your shackles and give you a better future! ]

——This time, no one can save her.
