Chapter 38: Even If You Don’t Like Me, I Still Like You!

“Hoo…”

He closed the door and collapsed in the entryway, his legs weak as he let out the breath he had been holding.

He was finally home…

In the living room, the two girls just stood there facing off, each asking who the other was.

Chen Yuan no longer felt like explaining; whatever happened, happened—he had no energy left to interfere.

“I am… I am his Queen!” Clovie declared.

Clovie would not lose momentum, so she absolutely could not admit she was only Chen Yuan’s student.

“Queen? I don’t see anything queenly about you.” Yu tilted her body, lounged lazily on the sofa, and crossed one leg over the other.

By comparison, she truly carried the more queenly aura.

“And who are you, hugging him the instant you arrive?!”

She spoke, then glared at Chen Yuan in frustration.

She had blocked that hug, yet Chen Yuan had taken the initiative to hold her!

She herself had not received any hug!

(You fainted… I held you far longer than I held her…)

Chen Yuan struggled to his feet again and went to the fridge to pour water for the two of them.

The thought that Yu, the most troublesome one, had already come made him uneasy, for he still had to look for the other three…

He had once feared Yu; now he had no excuse not to find the remaining three.

Just imagining the coming chaos made him want to cry without tears.

What sin had he committed…

“I am the one she risked her life to protect, so of course I get to hug him!” Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at Chen Yuan with open affection.

Chen Yuan set down the paper cups and almost quipped like a club waiter, I don’t sell myself…

“And I am the one he risked his life to protect!” Clovie argued.

“Then you can hug him, but I won’t allow it.” Yu’s tone was imperious. “He is mine!”

Clovie could not bring herself to speak her love so directly; how could this woman be so shameless…

Her aristocratic upbringing made her value poise and etiquette, so fiery words stuck in her throat…

Yet the woman before her proclaimed love every single moment—without even blushing!

Chen Yuan sat on the floor to one side; he felt unworthy of a chair.

More or less, he understood.

He was not so dull that he missed it.

He had saved Yu, Yu had fallen for the dead him, and now she had come looking for him.

As for Clovie, she was upset because he was her Teacher and someone wanted to steal him.

Yes… that was the situation.

“So first, Yu, I don’t like you,” Chen Yuan said seriously.

Yu’s eyes flickered evasively.

Clovie looked delighted.

“Everything I did was part of a mission. Before I died I told you plainly I had my own duty and never meant to deceive you. If my saving you caused a misunderstanding… I am truly sorry…”

Chen Yuan spoke earnestly and readied himself for Yu to explode, planning to have Clovie stop her if necessary…

Honestly, if saving someone meant you had to marry her, then police would need to check a hostage’s background and looks before every rescue…

He had only carried out a mission; he should not have ended up the target of a psycho’s obsessive love. That was terrifying…

Anyone who liked psychos could have her; he could not handle it…

Yet the fury he expected never arrived.

Instead—

“I know~”

“But I just like you~”

Huh?

“I like you so, so much~”

Chen Yuan looked up; the girl actually blushed a little, yet her eyes still brimmed with affection as she spoke…

Alright, he retracted the thought he had just retracted…

Those three lines were lethal; his scalp tingled.

No girl had ever confessed so blatantly to him, saying it to his face without disguise…

Who could endure that…

He took a tactical sip of water.

“Do you know that after you left, I could only sleep every night hugging your urn…”

Pfft—

He retracted the retraction of his retraction…

“If I didn’t have you, I would have to keep… hugging your ashes…” Yu said in deep gloom…

“What are you trying to do!”

Clovie had been stunned, but that threatening line snapped her awake.

She would never allow anyone to harm Teacher—

Even if it cost her life!

“I didn’t say anything, Falz. I can’t live without you. Even if you don’t like me, I still want to be with you…”

Chen Yuan furrowed his brows and lowered his head…

It was over…

She had turned into a yandere—an outright psychotic one…

His life was ruined…

“I understand,” Chen Yuan sighed.

All of this was his own fault…

“Teacher?!” Clovie blurted. “You can’t agree to her! Didn’t you say you don’t like her? I can protect you!”

With that, an icy aura spread from Clovie!

Even with only a tenth of her power left, she would lay down her life…

Yu gave a crooked smile. “Who’s afraid of who?”

She lost no momentum, and the bloodline power of a Vampire surfaced.

Her eyes turned blood-red, fangs extended, and a heavy scent of blood filled the room…

“It’s fine, Luo Wei,” Chen Yuan soothed. “Don’t flare up over everything; it’s dangerous…”

Then he told Clovie, “Earlier… I said I would stay with you forever… but one day you will have to start a family here, or go back to Nix.

“So if you decide to leave…”

“Teacher?! Are you driving me away?” Clovie’s eyes widened, her voice trembling.

“No, that’s not what I mean. I mean that if, in the future, you want to leave…”

“I won’t! I’m not going anywhere. I want to stay with you forever, Teacher!”

“Eh? Ah?!”

Tears already shimmered in Clovie’s eyes.

Did he remember how she had come to this world? She had arrived alone, sleeping on cardboard and eating trash…

She had abandoned everything to come here…

Chen Yuan felt a sharp pang of pity and immediately stood to comfort her.

A force suddenly coiled around him, pinning him in place.

“Yu?!”

“Falz… you must not touch other women…”
