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

The short, mournful cry seemed to be her style, and her beautiful, wide-open eyes were filled with shock.

There was no doubt that this was disrespectful to the commander, but Roy didn't care about it.

"Roy, you..."

"I'm sorry, the teacher won't listen, so I have to use some strong measures. Don't worry, with my ability, no one will notice us."

[Calm as Still Water] not only reduces your own presence, but also reduces the presence of those you come into contact with.

Luo changed the subject and said ruthlessly, "But if Mr. Xue Nuo struggles, it will be hard to say."

"You don't want to be seen in such an embarrassing state by everyone, do you?"

"Questioning. Is this the right attitude towards a mentor?" The silver-haired boy tried hard to put on a serious face, but his trembling eyelashes and panic-stricken expression had lost his usual coldness and arrogance.

How could he be picked up by his apprentice like a little girl? Where was his dignity as a mentor?!

However, thinking that if he struggled, the effect would be removed and everyone present would see his embarrassing appearance, Jon Snow didn't dare to move.

Seeing that the other party was intimidated, Roy felt relieved, but his expression remained unchanged and he replied in her tone: "Reminder. Is it the instructor who is not taking good care of himself first?"

The girl, knowing she was in the wrong, could no longer find any point to argue.

While Jon Snow was panicking, Roy quickly picked her up and left the banquet hall.

If it weren't for [Calm as Still Water] that could conceal the truth from everyone, Roy would never have dared to overstep his bounds.

Otherwise, even if Jon Snow didn't tear him apart, he would definitely be torn apart by Charlotte and the others later.

However, not everyone in the crowd noticed something was wrong.

The old man who was enjoying the dessert noticed the boy and girl leaving in a hurry. He was surprised at first, then he shook his head and smiled, turned his head and pretended not to see them.

Young people, know how to have fun...

--------

Roy was glad that he made the right decision.

Before he even came out of the banquet hall, Jon Snow's breathing became rapid, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his face, which was usually as cold as snow, couldn't help but twist.

[Ice Soul]'s blood was agitated, causing the girl to continuously release uncontrollable cold air, and the first person to be hurt was herself.

The situation was worse than expected. Fortunately, all the teachers and students were gathered in the college meeting hall at this time. Roy didn't care about maintaining "calmness". Bathed in the flying snowflakes, he ran as fast as possible in the cold wind.

"Teacher Xue Nuo, didn't I tell you to take your medicine on time?!"

"Eat, eat..." The girl's voice trembled.

"How could eating it cause..."

“I ate a lot…”

No, medicine is three-quarters toxic! Who told you that taking a lot will double the effect?

Roy almost cursed out loud, but seeing the girl becoming increasingly weak and pale, he couldn't bear to say anything more.

He could probably guess the reason why the other party overdosed.

Just like on Grace Day, she was just spending a perfect holiday with herself.

But......

You are usually so calm and rational, why do you lose your mind at times like this and act like a clumsy child?

By the time he returned to the dormitory, Jon Snow's condition had become extremely bad.

The girl had lost consciousness on the way and was now curled up on the bed, shivering. The cold air surging from her body dyed the entire room frosty white.

Even with the [Winter Shelter], Roy couldn't help shivering. Even the direwolf [Xiaobai] who was holding the lead and caring for his master was too cold to stand up straight.

And how extreme cold must Jon Snow, who is actually at the source of the cold, have to endure?

If this continues, I'm afraid it will really be a life-threatening situation.

"Don't worry, just stay outside."

Pushing the reluctant Silver Wolf out of the room, the boy looked at the girl whose body was gradually turning into ice, and his expression became more and more solemn.

Normally, ordinary blood disorders only require rest. At worst, medication can be used to suppress them.

But Jon Snow's disorder was already beyond the point where rest could restore him. If he didn't take the medicine according to the dosage, not only would the medicine fail to work, but it might even aggravate the stimulation of his restless blood.

Roy didn't understand pharmacology, and even if the Sage prepared the potion, it would take time.

But there is one last, and most effective, method.

[Blood Resonance] can simply and roughly calm the restless blood.

However, this move requires physical contact.

Considering that Jon Snow's bloodline level is much higher than his, in order to ensure that the ability is effective, the area of ​​physical contact must be much larger than before.

This is also the reason why Roy never mentioned this trick before. If he really did it, it would definitely be more offensive than a princess hug.

"...!"

Another cry of pain. The girl was like a wolf cub, alone and trembling weakly in the snow on a winter night. She was so helpless that even her whimper of pain was so weak and heartbreaking.

If possible, Roy didn't want to do that.

But Jon Snow's current condition does not allow him to hesitate.

If Jon Snow forced herself to do this for my sake, I should at least be responsible for her, right?

"Teacher Xue Nuo, I'm sorry."

Roy took a deep breath, took off his coat and shirt, then slowly reached out, put his arm around Jon Snow's shoulders and helped her up.

Then, she untied the dark blue dress.

He closed his eyes as much as possible to avoid offending her, but for the sake of [blood resonance], he had to hold her tightly in his arms.

It was not until then that he realized that Teacher Jon Snow was so slender, like a work of art, so fragile that she seemed to break at the slightest touch.

The eyebrows that always faced everything coldly were now moist and crystal clear, with a tenderness that made people love them.

She imparted knowledge to him, protected him from danger, and clumsily but truly conveyed the gentleness she could, like a proudly standing snow wolf. Without a doubt, she was the best teacher he deserved in his heart.

But after all, Teacher Xue Nuo is just a girl who is not much older than me...

Chapter 83 Deserves More

But after all, Teacher Xue Nuo is just a girl who is not much older than me...

Thinking of this, the young man sighed and wiped away the crystal from the corners of the girl's eyes.

The terrifying cold made Roy, who was wearing [Winter Protection] and was not afraid of the wind and snow on winter nights, tremble.

But he still gritted his teeth and held the girl tightly in his arms without letting go. He used all his strength to activate the [Blood Resonance] and used everything he had to dispel the girl's coldness.

----------

The warm candlelight outlines one blurry outline after another in the darkness.

She is tall and strict, but gentle only to her father; she is pregnant, a little clumsy, but always faces her kind mother, and her unborn brother in her mother's belly.

Although her memory has faded so that Jon Snow can hardly remember their faces, she will never forget the beauty that warmed her through countless cold winters.

“No matter where you are, as long as you are with the people who matter most to you, that’s enough.”

His father's emotion was the motivation for the young Jon Snow to endure the boring daily life in the border fortress.

Even if we are not in town, there are no delicious food, no dresses, no dances, no friends to play with, and all we see is a snowy scene that is so unchanging that it is a bit dazzling, and we can't even feel the New Year atmosphere, but as long as we can be with the most important people, none of this matters.

Until that day, the demons attacked, the undead began to die, and the coldness more biting than the wind took away everything from her.

The warm light and shadow dissipated in the cold wind, and Jon Snow suddenly found himself back in that cold night when he was alone.

In the darkness, in the wind and snow, in the blood-stained winter silence, barefoot and dragging her tattered skirt, she kept moving forward.

Even more biting than the cold wind is the murderous aura of the undead.

But what really broke her was not the cold wind, nor the murderous aura of the undead, but the moment she fell, she finally realized -

From now on, I will be alone forever.

This dream...it's been a long time since I had this dream.

Jon Snow laughed at himself, feeling bitter in his heart.

As she grew older, the nightmares gradually faded, and she thought she had let go of everything.

But that's just wishful thinking.

No matter how much she turned a blind eye, the word loneliness would always be engraved deep in her soul.

There is no other way but to endure it.

Jon Snow had long been accustomed to not struggling. He lay on the ground alone in the cold winter, surrounded by blood and the laughter of the undead, shivering and waiting for the nightmare to slowly end.

Only this time, there's something different.

The cold wind slowly died down, and with it came a warmth like that of a hot spring.

It is like the candlelight accompanied by family, like the first ray of warm sunshine after the dawn of winter.

It was like a figure breaking into my own world in an empty classroom.

In a trance, Jon Snow slowly opened his eyes and subconsciously wanted to hold something, but found nothing.

She slowly sat up and looked at the empty bed, feeling inexplicably melancholy.

There should be someone here who is right...

"Woo~"

Noticing that his master had woken up, the [Silver Wolf] Xiaobai came up to her and licked her fingers in the darkness, causing the latter's mouth to curl slightly.

No matter what happens, Xiaobai will always be by her side. Once upon a time, Jon Snow also thought that just having this child by his side would be enough.

Jon Snow looked at the long skirt hanging on the chair and the soft pajamas she had put on. Suddenly, he remembered a vague fragment. His cheeks turned red for a moment and he subconsciously wrapped himself in the quilt tightly.

Unlike the Feast of Grace, although his blood was disordered and his body was unwell, Jon Snow's memory was still very clear.

At least she remembered that it was Roy who sent her back in such a shameful posture, naked with her...

Fortunately, he is not here. Otherwise, I really don’t know how to face it.

But he wasn't there.

The relief was only for a moment, but as he felt the boy's warmth with his fingertips, it gradually dissipated, and Jon Snow couldn't help but sigh.

Her blood was under control and she was obviously no longer cold, but the longing for warmth had been implanted in her heart.

only......

I was an incompetent mentor who acted on my own and made things so embarrassing that I couldn't even spend a complete holiday with him.

As an apprentice, Roy has done enough to send himself back and cure his blood disorder.

Today is the New Year's Eve party.

Why waste time on a lousy mentor?

I shouldn't ask for more from him.

Thinking this way, I suppressed everything in my heart and regained the mask of cold and rationality.

But the more he thought about it, the more his lips began to tremble.

The silver-haired girl hugged her knees and lowered her head, just like the girl who had nowhere to go and shivered in the cold winter. In the dark and cold silence, she was swallowed by suffocating loneliness.

As expected, I am still alone——

"Mr. Snow, are you awake?"

"!"

"I made some broth. I had it at the banquet, but I thought I'd have something to warm me up. Oh, I can't guarantee the taste, but at least it's warm."

A black-haired boy in an apron rushed into the room, placing bowls and spoons on the bedside while chattering, and everything seemed so natural.

The boy lit the magic candle, and the warm light reflected the gentle face and illuminated her eyes.

"You...didn't leave?"
