As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

Especially in the context of Vizseya, scarlet is not a good word.

"Oh, you don't understand this." Nia shook her head repeatedly and pretended to be elegant and refined: "This is called romance."

"Legend has it that the last True Ancestor of the Blood Clan fell in love with a human. However, humans at that time were of low status and were not even allowed to sit with noble mythical creatures, let alone a True Ancestor who was equivalent to a demigod."

"The two fell in love but could not meet. Until her death, she gave her own blood to the human, embraced him for the first time, and blessed him with an eternal mark. Those scarlet tears are the testimony of this love that transcends race!"

Nia said this with an intoxicated look on her face, looking like a complete fangirl.

But this story made Roy a little sad.

The legend, also from the First Age, reminded him of Siegfried's story.

The truth behind [Dragon Slayer] is not as the world knows, full of heroic glory and honor, but more of the struggle and helplessness of mortals under the cruel fate.

I don’t know whether the love between the last True Ancestor and humans is as beautiful as the legend says.

Of course, these thoughts only flashed through his mind. Roy didn't want his emo side to spoil the other person's fun.

After listening to Nia's explanation, the waiter next to her came over with a sweet smile.

"Yes, that's exactly it."

"It's said that lovers who drink the scarlet tears will be bound together for life, forever united in love. While our drinks may not possess extraordinary powers, they were created with this beautiful blessing in mind."

"So, the two guests are here to taste the scarlet tears as well?"

"Of course!" Nia blurted out.

"In that case, please come and join the event! Scarlet Tears are limited in supply each day. According to the rules, only couples who place highest in the event are eligible to taste them!"

"That's exactly what I want!" Nia looked full of fighting spirit.

But Roy pinched her fingertips, leaned over, and whispered to her.

"Are you sure? Isn't this kind of activity limited to couples?"

"Hey, now that we're here, why not just pretend?"

"no......"

Pretending to be a couple was a minor problem. Roy was mainly afraid of those embarrassing couple activities and games that would make people dig their toes out of their three-bedroom apartment.

"Come on, come on~" Nia grabbed Roy's hand in turn, shaking it back and forth, pleading softly.

As she moved, the big white rabbits on her chest began to move.

Coupled with those watery eyes filled with expectation, Roy really couldn't bear to refuse.

"...Forget it, I'll stay with you for a while." The boy gave up struggling.

"Great!" Nia raised her hands and shouted, and the tearful look on her face just now disappeared without a trace.

The waitress smiled and said nothing. In her opinion, this was just another shy boyfriend who was persuaded by his girlfriend.

Roy had already made up his mind, but when they came to the front of the stage, the boy was still deeply shocked by the scene before him and began to back down.

No, this is too shameful!

On the heart-shaped stage, several pairs of men and women sat in front of tables and chairs, each holding a finger biscuit in their mouths, looking at each other, and slowly licking it mouth to mouth!

"Oh, oh, oh, the third group is indeed childhood sweethearts who have been in love since they were young. Even when they stare at each other, they don't hesitate at all!"

As the stage gave a passionate commentary, the customers below screamed excitedly—most of them were girls.

"The rules are actually very simple. The faster you eat, the higher your ranking. But as long as you can finish the cookies within 30 seconds, you can get a Scarlet Tear!" The waitress clapped her hands and explained excitedly.

The game is actually just for the atmosphere, and the rules are more of a formality so that all participants can get rewards.

Basically everyone can finish it in thirty seconds and get the Scarlet Tears as they wish. Those who take a little longer are more likely to flirt with it.

But Roy was numb.

No, no, no, I won’t participate in this shameful game even if you pour me a cup of gold!

Roy jerked back.

But the elf girl held him tightly and had no intention of letting him escape.

This guy actually wants to play?!

It's just a drink, why bother with so much?!

"Nia, I'm not saying this, but this game is too..."

The girl turned around, raised her eyebrows, and smiled faintly: "Are you scared?"

The boy's words stopped abruptly.

"Relax, it's just eating cookies, not a real kiss." Nia patted his back, then smiled and said, "It's really lame to be shy at this level, isn't it?"

"So you are very brave?" Roy asked calmly.

"Of course! This level is no problem for me!" Nia raised her little head, straightened her back, and was extremely arrogant, as if she didn't take this ambiguous little game seriously at all.

But every time she spoke a word, the tips of her ears felt hotter.

Beneath the calm and unshakable appearance, there is a surging throbbing that cannot be suppressed at all.

Roy took a deep breath, discarded all distracting thoughts, and said calmly, "Since you've said so, I'll accompany you to the end!"

"Ohhh! Then I'll sign you two up!"

This little game doesn't take much time, and most of the participants are couples who have no qualms about kissing each other.

There are four groups of eight people in one round of the game.

Soon, it was Roy and Nia's turn to go on stage.

Fortunately, as the last group of contestants, the two sat in the most inconspicuous corner, with long finger biscuits on the table.

The biscuits are coated with chocolate, leaving a small space in the middle. According to the rules, the game is successful as long as both parties eat the chocolate coating.

After all, the cookies themselves are very fragile and can easily break in the middle, so there is no need to force yourself to finish them.

This is also Roy's goal.

"Then this round of the game officially begins!"

Nia held a finger biscuit in her mouth, supported her cheek, smiled, and brought the other end of the biscuit forward.

This guy was so shy just holding hands, he must be terribly embarrassed by this little game. Nia thought cheerfully, feeling that the innocent boy was bound to make a fool of himself.

"If you're nervous, you can close your eyes, okay?"

"No need. But you, please don't give up halfway."

This girl is really stubborn, isn't she?

Roy wasn't going to pretend anymore.

To be honest, Roy was cautious out of politeness and also because he knew that Nia was a talkative and innocent girl.

If it were Charlotte, Roy would have beaten her to a pulp long ago.

So the boy met Nia's teasing gaze without hesitation and took a bite of his piece of biscuit!

Chapter 59: A Restless Heart

Games start!

Roy took the lead and rushed forward, facing the opposite sight, biting it and moving forward without wavering!

Men are all competitive. Since they want to play, Roy has no intention of losing!

Nia was frightened by the momentum and forgot what to do for a moment.

Only after looking at each other at such a close distance did Nia realize that the boy's eyes were really beautiful.

It is as vast and deep as the endless night sky, and it makes people intoxicated at first sight.

Now, these dark eyes stared at her without any hesitation. There was nothing else in sight except her own figure. Instead, Nia was the first to lose her composure and no longer had the composure she had just had.

What an eager gaze!

Could it be that this guy really wants to kiss me?!

Nia's eyes wandered for a while, and she didn't dare to look at the other person's expression again.

She smacked her lips and moved at almost a snail's pace.

In the end, she simply closed her eyes, her cherry lips smacking, but she didn't move forward at all.

Face to face, this weak and helpless scene naturally fell into Roy's eyes without any concealment.

Is this guy shy?

Damn it, wasn't this what you wanted to do? Why are you embarrassed first?!

Humans are creatures susceptible to infection from their own kind.

Roy is no exception.

The girl's eyes were vague, her cheeks were slightly red, and she looked as cute as a baby bird curled up slightly, causing Roy's heart, which had finally calmed down, to beat wildly again.

The desire to win was replaced by a more strange sweet and sour feeling.

Roy didn't want to be disturbed by this unexpected emotion, but he also wanted to look at the cute look of the girl Fuyun for another second. His mood was extremely complicated.

Especially when she closes her eyes, she looks like a hungry little bird or a young girl asking her lover for a kiss.

There were cheers and applause coming from all around, and it seemed that someone had already finished the game, but Roy had no intention of paying attention to what was happening around him.

The boy's speed slowed down due to the hesitation.

Nia calmed down a little and carefully opened her eyes, but unexpectedly, the boy's face was almost close to her.

This distance is very subtle.

It was much closer than before, but not yet at the position marked on the cookie.

The two were barely a finger's distance apart.

The warm breath coming from the opposite side made Nia's heart tremble, her hands and feet stiff, and the little heart in her chest swayed wildly, almost bursting through her chest.

And Roy's lips were still advancing weakly towards her.

Nia's breathing almost stopped.

and many more.

Wait wait wait!

Is this guy really going to kiss me?!

What, what should I do? I just ate so much and didn't rinse my mouth. Will he dislike me? And there are so many people watching...

Nia originally planned to take the initiative and break the biscuit when she was almost in position, and then teased the other party for being so innocent that she was so nervous about getting a biscuit.

But by now, her heated little brain had already forgotten her original plan.

As Roy continued to move forward, the biscuit was further eroded.

The two of them were nose to nose, their breathing entangled.

Nia didn't know what she was thinking. At this moment, she gave up and closed her eyes.

It was this action that made Roy suddenly wake up and pause.

With a snap, the biscuit, unable to bear the weight, finally broke.

The two finally separated and collapsed on the table in relief.

Roy let out a long breath, his forehead full of illusion.

Nia covered her red cheeks, chewed the biscuits in small bites, and glanced at the boy secretly. There was a mixture of relief and regret in her eyes, and her expression was very complicated.

"This round of the game ends here!"

The host lady shouted, and the two of them finally reacted.

Looking back, I saw that the tables and chairs of the other three groups were empty, obviously they had already finished.

He actually got last place?!

Roy was devastated and asked dejectedly, "Excuse me, how many seconds did it take us?"
