"Come in."
As Ash stood at the door with his heart pounding, he heard Sigourney's angry voice.
Ash pursed his suddenly dry lips, pushed the door open and walked in, going straight to Sigourney's bedside. His light blue eyes looked very beautiful under the light, bright and clean, full of expectation: "Sigourney, I..."
"No, you can't, you can't." Sigourney raised her hand expressionlessly, stretched out her slender white fingers, and tapped Ash's forehead from a distance, "Go, sleep in your own bed."
Ash: "Oh." He nodded somewhat disappointedly, then looked at Sigourney expectantly, "Sigourney, can we clean the room together tomorrow?"
Sigourney: "..." He hesitated, "Is this what you wanted to say?"
Ash nodded, "This is our room now, if I want to tidy it up, I'd better get your opinion."
Sigourney was silent: "..."
After a while: "...Okay."
He pulled the quilt aside and slid into the bed. Then he turned over and faced Ash with his back. "Good night."
The series of movements were as graceful as flowing water, without any sign of embarrassment or awkward escape.
Ash's eyes lit up again, and he discovered the benefit of merging rooms again - he could fall asleep listening to Sigourney's goodnight every night!
Simple young people from the countryside are always easy to satisfy.
Ash didn't have to sleep with Sigourney. Just the mental victory of "Sigourney was lying on the bed in my room" and "hearing Sigourney say good night" made him satisfied.
"Good night." Ash said in a low voice, as if afraid of disturbing Sigourney's sleep. After that, he carefully walked around the clothes and sundries piled on the floor and walked back to his own bed.
Sigourney, who actually had no desire to sleep, said: "..." Feeling depressed.
I should read fewer books confiscated from Yelena in the future!
The magic lights in the room dimmed.
After washing up and changing into his pajamas, Ash lay on his back on the bed in a proper manner, intertwined his hands, placed them on his lower abdomen, and closed his eyes.
…
…
After a long time, he opened his eyes again.
His little bed was still in its original place in his room.
Sigourney's bed also had not been moved.
From an objective point of view, the distance between him and Sigourney was the same as before and had not changed at all.
However, the wall between the two rooms disappeared, and the distance that had always existed became subtle and ambiguous.
In the dark and quiet room, only a wall was missing, but the presence of another person was made more prominent.
It was too strong for Ash to ignore, to care.
He quietly turned over, facing the big bed on the other side, and stared quietly at the young man with his back to him. His excellent eyesight allowed him to see the beautiful figure rising and falling under the quilt opposite him in the dark.
At this moment, Sigourney's quilt moved, and the vampire slowly turned over, facing him, with his eyes still closed. Only his thin lips moved, and he said in a commanding tone: "Close your eyes and sleep."
Ash uttered a soft "hmm" and closed his eyes obediently.
But he didn't lie back on his front, he still maintained the sleeping position on his side.
Two shallow dimples appeared on his cheeks.
...Sleeping face to face like this, it feels like being held in Sigourney's arms.
happy.
The young man, who was particularly easy to satisfy, fell asleep in a happy mood. In his dreams, little stars lined up in front of him, waving their five arms and legs, and dancing happily.
The next day, when Ash woke up, Sigourney was no longer in the room.
The vampire who usually loved to sleep in seemed to get up early for the first time in his life.
When he was having breakfast, he didn't see Sigourney, but Lord Nance asked him with a smile: "How did you rest last night?"
Ash recalled the relaxing and happy dream and immediately smiled: "Very good."
Nance leaned close to Ash's ear and said mysteriously, "I asked Sigourney, and he said it was OK."
Sigourney's is OK, probably equal to Ash's which is exceptionally good.
Ash swallowed the last bite of bacon and perked up, "Well, I made a deal with him. When I get back from the academy, we'll clean up the room together."
"Oh?" Nance raised his eyebrows meaningfully and shook his head with a lingering feeling. "It looks like you're going to have to work hard."
Ash: “?”
Not being able to comprehend the meaning of Nance's words, Ash didn't think much about it and waited for Ivan and Yelena to get ready. Then the three of them left the wizard tower together and went to the academy to attend classes. Ash helped to go through the procedures for skipping a grade and transferring to another class.
After arriving at the college, Yelena waved to Ash: "Do you want to say goodbye to your classmates? I'll go find the teacher for the formalities first, and we'll meet there later." Yelena pointed to a classical-style building in the Faculty of Advanced Studies, which was the office for the college's internal affairs.
Ash really wanted to meet his little classmates.
That day in the Sanwei Flower Sea, when the glorious magic circle was activated, it was these friendly and enthusiastic friends who stepped forward, used their young bodies to build a human wall, blocking the brilliant light of the magic circle, and surrounded and protected him and Signy.
Although Sigourney didn't say anything, he knew that she was also touched by them.
I have to formally say thank you to everyone.
Ash followed a familiar direction, walked along a long road filled with the cool scent of pine wood, and arrived in front of the ice-carved and snow-built castle of the Elementary Department.
Before stepping into the castle gate, he keenly noticed that behind the door - in the hall on the first floor of the castle, there were many rapid and tense breathing sounds hidden.
No ill intentions, though.
In just a blink of an eye, he realized something, and pretended not to notice anything, and walked into the castle calmly.
When he walked through the door and took two or three steps toward the spiral staircase, the entire hall erupted with strong magical fluctuations. Along with it, cheerful music flowed in his ears, emerald green plants quickly climbed all over the four walls, sparkling ice chips floated down from the ceiling like snowflakes, and brilliant sparks bloomed in the crystal clear ice chips...
As cheerful and enthusiastic as a celebration.
The children who were hiding around rushed out with joy and surrounded Ash.
“Welcome back!”
They shouted in unison.
Ash saw many familiar faces inside.
Let’s not talk about Angel and Laverne, who were the leaders, or the other guys in the same class.
There were also the young wizards who formed a human wall to help him and Sigourney in the Sanwei Flower Sea that day, and the many young faces he saw in the snowstorm that day.
"Thank you." Ash pursed his lips, feeling warm in his heart and eyes, as if he was soaked in warm water. Amid everyone's enthusiastic cheers, he said loudly, "Thank you everyone!"
I’m not just thanking Sanwei Huahai for his help.
Thank you all for giving him some protection when he first arrived, allowing him to spend the first part of his study in the college in a simple and enjoyable way.
Thank you all for supporting his relationship with Sigourney, and for being willing to show kindness and love even to Sigourney, who is rumored to be cruel and ruthless.
…
I have to thank many, many things.
A group of young wizards blocked Ash at the entrance of the castle, concerned about Ash who had been missing for several months.
From "We were scared to death" to "I've been worried about you."
From "Where on earth did you go?" to "I'm glad you're back. Did you encounter any danger?"
From serious care and condolences to gossip topics that went off the topic out of nowhere.
Someone asked Quentin.
"Where's Quentin?"
"Ash, can you bring Quentin next time?"
"There are a few new songs that have become popular recently. Has he learned them?"
There are people who are obsessed with beautiful women.
"I heard that you and Lady Scarlet Moon got together?"
"Wow, I'm so happy that I can wash my eyes every day!"
"Are you close?"
"Sir Scarlet Moon can actually be kissed, too? Is there any difference between kissing her and kissing others?"
Ash was helpless: “…” He had never kissed anyone else, so how could he know what was different?
but--
"I have kissed her." Ash, who is usually calm, couldn't help showing off at this moment, "Scarlet Moon's kiss is unique, the best and greatest!" Even if he has never kissed anyone else, he can be sure of this!
He was showing off so well and everyone was cheering him on. The love-failed elementary school bully Laverne felt depressed.
In order to get back at the point, he raised his chin modestly: "Ash, you've missed a semester's worth of lessons. I can help you with your studies."
"Ah, it's okay." Ash pointed to the identity badge on his wizard robe, "Look, I'm an official wizard now."
Laverne: “…”
Angel: “Pfft.”
Everyone: “Wow!”
Not only are they formal wizards, they are also mid-level wizards!
After exclaiming, he realized, "Ash, are you transferring to the Advanced School?"
Ash nodded.
"Ash is leaving..."
"I won't be able to see Uncle Quentin anymore..."
"There's no chance to see the Scarlet Moon..."
The students' mood suddenly turned bad and they hung their heads dejectedly.
Ash looked at them gently and said with a smile, "I'm going to the Advanced Studies Department first. I'll protect you when you come over!"
The frost-bitten little carrot heads perked up again: "That's right!"
"Well Ash, you better work hard in the Advanced School!"
"Ash, I will come over the year after next, no, next year! I won't let you fight alone!"
"wait for me!"
"Come and play with us if you have nothing to do! It would be even better if you can bring Lady Scarlet Moon with you!"
"Oh right! And Uncle Quentin!"
"If you are bullied, remember to come to us!"
"We'll help you fight back!"
Ash smiled at them and agreed to each one.
"OK."
"Thank you."
