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

"I'm sorry, Mr. Snow, it's all my fault..."

Jon Snow's eyelashes flickered and he felt drowsy.

It shouldn't be like this.

Roy's Grace Day wasn't supposed to end like this.

Jon Snow didn't quite understand what was so good about the party, but she knew very well that most people liked the excitement, laughter, gorgeous fireworks, and a light and beautiful dance.

She didn't need to participate in it, just take Roy to feel it.

However, she couldn't even do such a simple thing.

I could hear the other person's words, but my dizzy brain was no longer able to decipher the meaning of the other person's words, let alone respond.

Only one sentence pierced deeply into her heart.

"Don't apologize."

"So... huh?"

"Don't apologize!"

The sudden high-pitched voice startled Roy and made him open his eyes wide.

Before the boy could even express surprise, the silver-haired girl had already grasped his face with both hands, forcing him to look into her eyes.

In the darkness, Jon Snow strained his little face, stared hard, and muttered with great effort.

"You, you have nothing to apologize for..."

"You're good, you're great."

"Whether you're buying clothes, visiting an exhibition, or even having dinner, you've done nothing wrong."

"You, you've always been very obedient. Whether it's tutoring or work, you've never complained."

"You did everything an apprentice should do for their mentor, and even more than that... If you must say it, it's my fault."

Jon Snow lowered his head, breathing lightly.

"I failed to be a good mentor."

"I've always been so strict with you. Only recently have I thought about letting you relax."

"I clearly wanted to do something for you, I clearly wanted to be gentle with you, I clearly wanted to spend Grace Day with you, but I couldn't even throw a party..."

Jon Snow knew that Roy's relatives and friends had all returned home, and he was the only one left in the academy.

Even if it doesn't matter during normal times, during holidays, when others are gathering with friends and family, those who are alone will realize how lonely they are.

It was like waking up in the middle of the night and seeing nothing but complete darkness.

Because he understands this feeling, Jon Snow doesn't want Roy to experience this loneliness.

This was the real reason why she chose Grace Day to accompany Roy.

However, in the end, he couldn't even attend the party, and had to waste his time with me in this empty and deserted room.

"I'm sorry, I'm not a qualified mentor..."

The girl's sigh was like melting snow.

Only in the distance, the faint sound of fireworks could be heard.

The silver wolf huddled aside, head hanging, pacing back and forth, not understanding why its master was sad, and not knowing what to do.

Really, he saw my embarrassing side.

This time, Roy might abandon his mentor.

Among the fuzzy thoughts, only guilt and uneasiness are so clear.

However, at this moment, a warm feeling came from the palm of his hand.

Chapter 56 The Best Mentor/Apprentice

The warmth flowed from her fingertips and palms into her body, warming her empty heart.

Jon Snow unconsciously looked up slowly, and saw that in the dim night, the young man was holding his hand, with a bright smile and bright eyes that illuminated the darkness.

Far better than fireworks blooming in the night sky.

"Teacher Xue Nuo, please don't misunderstand."

"You're the one who doesn't need to apologize."

"Because, Grace Day is obviously very happy with you by my side."

Roy knew very well that the girl who had always been indifferent to the world was not really cold and heartless, and her so-called indifferent nature did not mean that she was ignorant of the warmth and coldness of the world.

However, the girl experienced misfortunes at a young age and lost the company of her family, leaving her alone and not knowing how to express her kindness.

Roy admitted that even he found it difficult to see what was hidden beneath the girl's cold face.

I trust that she won't hurt me, but that's all.

But now, taking advantage of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity under the influence of drunkenness, the silver-haired girl clumsily tried to express the guilt she had suppressed in her heart, allowing Roy to glimpse her true heart.

But this kind of guilt is totally unnecessary.

Roy warmed the girl's soft, cold hands, recalling the joy of today with a knowing smile: "The Grace Day party was nice, but for me, today is already wonderful enough."

"you......"

Snow widened his eyes slightly, but hummed in confusion, closing his eyes as if he was about to fall asleep, and sighed: "Luo, Roy classmate, you are so gentle."

"Even at this point, he's still comforting the teacher. What a good kid."

Roy was a little amused and said, "It's not a comfort."

"I am really grateful to Mr. Snow."

Inviting people to travel, buying gifts, standing up when they are threatened, and even calmly preparing to go to a party.

For ordinary people, it may be just a small step to show goodwill, but for the sociable Jon Snow, it is a step of doing his best.

And this step is enough to cross the distance between ordinary teachers and students.

Roy squeezed Jon Snow's hand a little harder, forcing her to shudder as if she had been electrocuted and open her eyes again.

Just like how Jon Snow had held his head just now, Roy reached out and brushed away the messy hair in front of Jon Snow's forehead. Looking into his misty blue eyes, he spoke slowly, but with absolute certainty: "No matter what Mr. Jon Snow thinks, you are my best mentor."

"The best..."

Jon Snow murmured, his eyes slightly cold, and it seemed that his mind was refreshed for a moment.

But she quickly looked away, and as if in a rage, she deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Stop teasing the teacher."

"I'm not at all...!"

"Why not? Teacher Snow is the one who is so gentle to me. It's no exaggeration to say that he is the best mentor." Roy chuckled and interrupted her defense. "Besides, the party is not a big deal at all."

"A perfect festival doesn't necessarily require fireworks and parties; those are just formalities."

"For me, at this moment, being with Teacher Snow, this is the perfect Holy Grace Day."

In all his previous etiquette and behavior, even the hard work he did under Jon Snow, Roy had deliberately tried to show goodwill and soften the other party's attitude.

Just like in the previous life, I used a hypocritical smile to please the professors who had the power to decide my graduation.

But only now can he express his true feelings without reservation or falsehood.

"I'll say it again, Mr. Snow is my best mentor."

"..."

After a brief silence, Jon Snow's breathing became slightly faster, and his face finally looked less depressed.

"Really?"

"real!"

"Are you sure?"

"I am sure!"

"That......"

Jon Snow squeezed Roy's hand and glanced at him cautiously: "Then say it again."

"Teacher Snow is my best mentor!"

As if savoring these warm words, Jon Snow closed his eyes, and it took several full seconds before he opened them again.

This time, the gloom on the girl's face finally disappeared completely, outlining a faint arc.

Just like the sky clearing after the snow, the bright sunshine shines down from the snow-covered ground, bringing the purest and most flawless white to the world.

Seeing that the other party had recovered, Roy couldn't help but feel relieved.

"As long as Mr. Snow wants to hear it, I will tell him no matter how many times. Mr. Snow is my best..."

Before he could finish his words, the girl suddenly stood up and pounced on him.

Her weakness along the way seemed fake. The movement was so fast that Roy didn't even have time to react before she threw him onto the bed.

This, isn't this right?

After calming down, shouldn't you go to sleep?

Roy was terrified and tried to break free from the other person's arms, but unexpectedly, the touch on his body was much lighter than he imagined.

The pounce just now was not fake, but when she picked him up, her movements were as gentle as the cool snow, just like a little girl treating her favorite doll, unwilling to tinker with it violently.

The silver-haired girl held the boy, put her hand on his shoulder, raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and left a wisp of intoxicating cold fragrance by his ear in a slightly coquettish manner.

"Mr. Roy is also my best apprentice..."

The murmurs faded away, and only a light sleep remained in the empty room.

Really, I was so excited just now, just to say this?

But, not bad.

The moonlight is bright and clear, falling flawlessly.

The girl slept peacefully, even her breathing as light as the evening breeze. Her snow-white eyelashes flickered slightly, like the wings of a butterfly passing by silently.

Only the corners of her lips, which still had a trace of curve, showed her satisfied heart tonight.

Gazing at that sleeping face that was more alluring than the moonlight for a long time,

Roy blushed and looked away.

The best apprentice...

You are not a child anymore, how can you be excited by such simple praise?

Fortunately she fell asleep.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll see my embarrassing side.

Roy carefully pulled himself away from Jon Snow, pushed off her high-heeled boots, and shoved her long, somewhat disheveled black stockings back onto the bed, before covering her with the blanket.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw the silver wolf coming over and rubbing his trouser leg eagerly.

It was very smart. Although it didn't quite understand the specific reason, it vaguely felt that its owner would want it to stay.

But even if they are master and disciple, it is not appropriate to stay overnight at a girl's home.

Roy rubbed Silver Wolf's head and said, "Be good, just stay and guard her."

Besides, we'll see each other tomorrow.

The silver wolf whimpered and had to jump onto the bed to protect Jon Snow.

With one last look at the silver-haired girl, Roy tiptoed out of her room.

The next morning.

Sitting at the desk in the dormitory, Jon Snow was lost in thought with a serious expression.

Why can’t I remember what happened yesterday?

My memory was interrupted during dinner, and when I opened my eyes again, I found that it was already the next day.
