Chapter 7 I Won't Leave You, Great Knight 4
"What did you say?" I looked up, unwilling to believe that it was him who had just spoken. He looked down at me, with a tenderness and fatigue in his eyes that I had never seen before.
I know he doesn't want me anymore, and he doesn't plan to abandon me like the others. No!
Because he is Takamiya Suzaku, the number one knight of the Red Knight branch, he would not do that!
"If it's really that hard, then you can go back." He said softly, letting me go and sitting down on the chair beside me. His eyes were looking at an unknown place, and he smiled faintly, but his smile was heartbreaking.
"Your phone is vibrating again, don't pretend you don't know it's vibrating." Looking at my trouser pocket, he suddenly said, staring at me, forcing me to take the phone out of my trouser pocket.
Holding my phone, I saw new messages on it. Someone had left a message on my personal page again.
I used to be the least noticeable person in this college, but now so many people have developed the habit of leaving messages on my page every day. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
"Someone left a message on the school website again, right? Was he scolding you? Or was he preaching to you?"
He sneered, leaned back in his chair, took out his cell phone, opened it and took a look, then suddenly threw it out with force, smashing the phone to pieces.
When the fragments of the mobile phone fell, he spoke again: "I'm used to what those people say. Takamiya Suzaku, your Y country aristocratic accent is disgusting. Takamiya Suzaku, how can you defeat ×× with the rules? ×× is the one who should be the champion, rules go to hell! Takamiya Suzaku, the champion of the Red Knight branch is not legitimate! Takamiya Suzaku, release the princess! Takamiya Suzaku..."
With another sneer, Suzaku raised his eyelids and looked at me and said, "I'm already numb to such words. Perhaps this is what happens when people are too good, they can only live like a hedgehog, but you don't have to be like me."
"I..." I looked at him, just about to feel touched and heartbroken, but he... "For an ordinary girl like you, with no special skills and average looks, and with gorilla genes in your body, it's already amazing that you can learn to speak and use tools like humans, so you really don't need to listen to what they say and endure these things that only humans need to endure."
As expected, this guy is really annoying! He is annoying no matter how you look at him!
"So..." He looked at me again, with a beautiful and intoxicating gentle smile on his face, "If you can't stand it, just go back to the Red Princess. The Red Princess needs you very much now. Lady Miyagi should want you to stay with the Red Princess, and she won't expel you for the time being. Anyway..."
"I don't need you anymore. No!" As if he felt that he had said something wrong, he frowned and said in a heavier tone, "I have never needed you! Never!"
"So... go back, I'll find a way to get my uncle not to expel you. I'll find a way, I will..." He kept nagging, his brows furrowed again, his eyes looking away, as if he was deliberately avoiding me. You liar, Takamiya Suzaku, you liar without any merits!
"What if I don't want to go back? What if..." My voice was still a little hoarse. I had just cried a lot, and I seemed to be unable to control my body and emotions.
So, even though I was very reluctant and didn't want this guy to see me crying, I couldn't control my tears from being released along with the oath from my mouth.
"What if I insist on staying by your side, even if it means I will become a person hated like you and make me lose my most important princess? What if I insist on staying here, because... me! Duanmu Mingri is your bodyguard, the bodyguard you appointed yourself!"
"But I also said that I can appoint you or cancel your bodyguard qualification. When I cancel it..."
He kept talking and seemed angry, but he didn't dare to look me in the eye and kept avoiding me in panic.
That gave me the courage, the guts to argue with him and go against his wishes!
"But what if I say no? What if I say I don't want to leave? What if I, Duanmu Mingri, don't want to leave?"
"who are you!"
He suddenly stood up with a roar. He was much taller than me, and suddenly, I could only look up at him, while he looked down at me, his eyes full of pressure that could make people submit.
"I am Duanmu Mingri, the knight of TK Academy! Your Red Knight! At least today, at least this second! So I will stand by my great knight, no matter how annoying he is, no matter what he will make me lose, no matter how much he looks down on me! No matter... whether I am so insignificant that he doesn't need me! But this is my oath, I have to respect my own oath, I have to respect myself!"
For a long time, he didn't speak, and the muscles on his cheeks were tense. He gritted his teeth, and I could see that he was trying hard to suppress something. I didn't know if it was anger or some other emotion. I also didn't know if he would immediately drive me away and make me disappear from his sight. But I looked at him, and at that moment I suddenly became strong!
I am a commoner, and no one in this aristocratic school, TK, looks up to me. In the past, I thought it was Yaoyao's recognition of me that allowed me to persist here. Now, I know that in Yaoyao's eyes, I am just a commoner. No matter how much I love her, I am a commoner and cannot become someone else!
so……
I am here because there is at least one person in TK who looks up to me, and that is myself!
"I won't leave you! Takamiya Suzaku, do you hear me? Because I am a knight, whether you recognize it or not!"
"Do you know?" he suddenly spoke, as if he had exhaled a breath of air that had been held in his chest for a long time, and his body relaxed in an instant.
"This is what a woman who is qualified to stand beside me, Takamiya Suzaku, should look like!"
He suddenly lifted my chin and lowered his head. Before I could figure out what was happening, I heard a louder heartbeat than I had ever heard before.
