Chapter 361 Private Engagement

Inside the Slytherin secret room.

The green crystals embedded in the stone pillars emit a light green light, which shines through the gaps between the stone pillars and onto the ground, forming mottled light and shadow.

In the dim light in the secret room, what caught Xielin's eyes was Eleanor's delicate face full of worry.

"That... uh, about that human puppet..." Xielin said a little embarrassedly.

Before Xielin finished speaking, a hot body had already embraced Xielin's arms. Eleanor's hands gently brushed Xielin's handsome face, and Xielin could clearly feel her hands trembling slightly.

"Xielin," Eleanor's originally magnetic voice became a little hoarse at this moment, and she shook her head gently, "Don't worry about those human puppets," she looked directly into Xielin's eyes and said seriously: "Please tell me frankly, are you really okay?"

Xielin is very strong, no one will deny this.

In the eyes of outsiders, Xie Ling is smart and studious, with an amazing and unique talent for magic. His strength has far surpassed that of wizards of the same age. He has no rivals among students in the entire European magic school, and even has combat power comparable to that of adults.

In the eyes of those who are slightly close to him, as well as Draco and Eleanor, Xie Ling's strength has long surpassed the top elite Aurors, and he is qualified to compete with magicians, but he should still be slightly inferior to orthodox magicians such as Dumbledore and Voldemort.

However, Xie Ling had no reason to lie - assuming that what he said was true, he had to face the joint siege of three magicians alone last night, how dangerous the scene would be, Eleanor could not imagine it at all - even a narrow escape from death is not enough to describe it.

This time it was Xie Ling's turn to show a stunned expression.

At this moment, that inexplicable emotion filled his chest again, and he suddenly realized something.

It was a touching feeling.

Eleanor was not concerned about those precious puppets. In her heart, those things were not as important as Xie Ling's personal safety.

"Eleanor, don't worry, I'm fine." Xie Ling said softly, "It's true, I didn't lie to you. Although they are very strong, I have made sufficient preparations in advance. Fortunately, everything went smoothly as planned in the end, and I returned safely without any danger."

"You already knew it would be so dangerous, but you chose to face it alone?" Eleanor's eyes were misty, and she said with some dissatisfaction.

"Uh... this..." Xie Ling scratched his itchy scalp and was speechless.

"Promise me, for the people you love and the people who love you, don't bear everything alone... You must be fine..."

Eleanor could no longer control her emotions, and tears slid down her cheeks. She choked up and said, "I'm scared just thinking about it... If something really happened last night, I would never see you again."

Eleanor has always been a strong character. As the daughter of the first family in Germany, she has been determined to inherit the family business and become the head of the family since she was a child, so she is very strict with herself.

After entering Durmstrang, she abandoned meaningless social activities. Except for Polyaco, a family friend, she has always been rude to others. She was only immersed in magic learning and research, pursuing strong strength, so as to prove that she can become the head of the family by real strength.

Even though she owed Xie Lin a life-saving grace on the ghost ship later and developed a love between men and women for Xie Lin, she still maintained her strong character and directly put down her bold words to pursue Xie Lin.

She has absolute confidence in her strength and charm!

But at this moment, she finally faced her feelings.

After all, she is actually a normal girl who wants to fall in love and be cared for.

A warm current surged in Xie Lin's heart. He knew that he was really moved by Eleanor's sincerity.

Recalling the experience of escaping death last night, Xie Lin cherished everything in front of him very much-

Eleanor herself is very outstanding. Whether it is family background, character and etiquette, strength and talent, or appearance, it is enough to make Xie Lin's heart move.

But unfortunately, Xie Lin already has a girlfriend, and more than one.

He has always warned himself not to cause new love debts, but when he really faces the deep feelings of the beauty, he always can't help but fall in the tender offensive.

Since ancient times, heroes have been difficult to pass the beauty, and Xie Lin can only comfort himself in this way.

"Eleanor," Xie Lin said with great pity, "I'm sorry, I didn't think that my doing this would make you worry..."

Eleanor raised her head and met Xie Lin's eyes.

Xie Lin's eyes were no longer as cold as before. Eleanor knew that her sincere efforts had finally paid off, and she successfully pried open the boy's closed heart.

Eleanor suddenly burst into laughter. She gently put her head on Xie Lin's chest and felt his heartbeat.

"You damn bad guy, I haven't cried for more than ten years. Today, I actually cried in front of you... I'm so embarrassed to be seen like this by you," Eleanor said coquettishly.

Xie Lin gently stroked Eleanor's soft hair and said with a smile: "In fact, when you confessed to me last time, I was already attracted to you, but I always chose to avoid you. That's because..."

Eleanor raised her head and put her finger on Xie Ling's lips. She saw the sincerity and determination in his eyes, and knew that Xie Ling's words at this moment were all from the heart. "You don't need to explain, I actually understand... You are an excellent boy, and there must be no shortage of confidantes around you, but I don't mind these. I just hope that I can occupy a place in your heart, then I will be satisfied." Xie Ling gently wiped the tears on her cheeks with his fingers, smiled and said: "I promise you, I will never escape again - from now on, no matter what happens, I will not let you leave my life." His tone was firm and gentle, as if he was swearing his promise to her.

The atmosphere was tense, but Eleanor suddenly said cunningly: "You broke someone's human puppet, how are you going to compensate them?"

"Ah, this... this is my responsibility, I won't let you and the Hohenheim family bear this loss in vain, no matter how much it costs, I am willing to bear it..."

Schelling had just finished speaking, and before he knew it, a pair of hot red lips had tightly sealed Schelling's mouth. The two hugged each other tightly, their breathing and heartbeats intertwined, kissing each other in ecstasy, as if they wanted to integrate each other into their souls.

...

Schelling looked at Eleanor, whose cheeks were slightly red, affectionately, and said softly: "This summer, I will personally visit the Hohenheim family and propose to your parents. I want to marry you as my wife."

The heat on Eleanor's face spread to her ears, and she lowered her head and said "hmm". She knew that although Xie Lin had many lovers, her parents did not object to their marriage. Her father even said that he would give Xie Lin the title of "son-in-law of the head of the family" and give him the core inheritance of the family, "Human Alchemy", as a dowry. In other words, after Xie Lin showed his feelings and made a promise, their relationship was set in stone and there was no obstacle. (End of this chapter)
