"Good evening."
Noelle sat down next to Jams with an elegant posture, her cheeks slightly flushed, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry for my behavior this morning. I ran away without properly saying goodbye..."
Pfft~
Upon hearing this, Jams waved his hand with a smile. "No need to apologize. You know I don't like to dwell on such things, and you haven't done anything wrong."
"Well, but... but I've never been so impolite in front of others before..."
Noelle recalled the scene earlier in the morning when she shyly ran away, feeling a sense of disappointment and self-blame.
At least in Noelle's view, etiquette was the most fundamental rule, and being impolite meant showing disrespect to friends.
"Alright, since you're here, just relax and enjoy fishing. Don't worry about trivial matters."
Seeing the maid still troubled, Jams didn't bother to persuade her further. He simply handed the fishing rod to Noelle and said, "Take the rod! If you keep dawdling, today's fishing lesson will end here!"
"Okay, okay!"
Noelle's heart skipped a beat, afraid that today's fishing session would end prematurely. She quickly took the fishing rod and skillfully baited the hook, casting it out.
Splash!
The fishing hook reflected a faint silver light under the moonlight, forming a graceful arc as it descended into the lake.
The fluorescent float swayed with the ripples, and Noelle's heart followed suit, rising and falling.
"..."
Jams remained silent, quietly fishing.
Noelle also remained silent, pretending to fish earnestly while occasionally stealing glances at Jams' profile.
Today's Jams seemed to be no different from yesterday, but whether it was her own misconception or not, Noelle felt that Jams had become even more charming today.
If looking at yesterday's Jams would make her blush, then today's Jams had evolved to the point where just one glance could make her heart pound.
"So strong..."
This man was so strong!
As Noelle looked on, she forgot about fishing and became more and more engrossed, as if appreciating a delicate and mysterious artwork.
Although comparing a man to an artwork seemed strange, Jams indeed possessed such qualities.
With his handsome appearance, an enigmatic yet friendly personality, and clear, bright eyes that shone brighter than the moonlight on the horizon.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~
"Cough."
Being stared at by this silver-haired beauty with a fascinated expression, even Jams, with a thick skin like a fortress, couldn't help but blush.
Jams lightly coughed and turned his head to the dazed Noelle. He smiled wryly and said, "Noelle, when fishing, you should pay attention to the float, not keep staring at me."
"Cough, I'm sorry!"
Noelle first nodded foolishly, then realized her improper behavior. Her pretty face instantly turned as red as a beetroot, her body temperature rising rapidly, as if steam were rising from her head.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
It happened! This was Noelle's Steaming Mode!
What should she do? She got caught peeking, feeling too ashamed to face anyone. When did Noelle become so shameless? Sob, sob.
"Um... I... I..."
Noelle's delicate body trembled slightly, and her light green eyes were filled with twinkling stars, as if she could blush and faint at any moment.
"I suddenly remembered that my family made soup when I left home today! I... I need to go back!"
After saying that, Noelle abruptly stood up, her slender legs preparing to exert force, revealing the contours of her healthy and beautiful muscles.
Swoosh!
"Wait, little Noelle!"
Jams saw that the maid was about to run away again, but before he could mock her, he instantly appeared behind Noelle and tightly embraced her slender waist without hesitation!
Boom!
A heavy rumble echoed like thunder.
The two of them unleashed their powers, colliding and pulling against each other, causing invisible shockwaves to ripple outwards from their center!
The grass rustled, and ripples formed on the surface of the lake.
A few wild boars drinking water by the lake, a hundred meters away, were directly startled by this force and tumbled into the water with a splash.
"Noelle, calm down! You... you girl..."
Jams held Noelle's waist tightly, his face turning red, and the veins on his forehead throbbing.
Noelle's strength surpassed even that of Barbara, and she was in a full power state. If he hadn't held onto her in time, Jams wouldn't have been able to keep her!
"Sob, Jams, please let me go back. I... I can't face you anymore, sob sob sob... I'm not a good girl, I don't deserve all that you've done for me, sob sob sob."
Feeling Jams close behind her, Noelle's body temperature rose like fire, making her feel both shy and guilty.
She was no longer pure, repeatedly harboring improper thoughts about Jams. She was simply a disgrace to maids!
"What's with this awkwardness again? Stop it already, my old back is about to break!"
Jams had a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.
He felt that his power was reaching its limit, but Noelle's strength was growing stronger, like an endless mountain.
Noelle bit her lip and said in a slightly sobbing voice, "I... I was actually peeking at you the whole time, not really focusing on fishing. I don't deserve your guidance, sob sob sob."
"Is that it?"
Jams listened to Noelle's explanation, looking puzzled.
"Isn't that enough?"
Noelle felt even more ashamed, "You stayed up two nights in a row to accompany me in fishing, and I wasted your kindness. As a friend, I am so unworthy."
"Uh..."
Jams blinked, wearing a strange expression on his face. "If I remember correctly, I didn't teach you anything yesterday. I just slept on your legs, right?"
I'm not ashamed, why are you feeling ashamed!
"Stop talking about it. I'm not worthy of you!" Noelle thought of the little gesture she made while Jams was asleep, gently pinching his handsome face, and her heart became even more chaotic.
"No, you're not!"
"I am, just let me go!"
"Tsk, if you keep being stubborn, I'll have to increase the strength!"
Jams held Noelle's arms even tighter, his muscles bulging, well-defined and as hard as iron!
Noelle's body was fragrant and soft, and the more she struggled, the more it aroused Jams' "fighting spirit," as if he wanted to use all his martial arts on this shy silver-haired beauty.
"No matter how much you struggle or scream, I won't let go. Even if you scream your throat sore, no one will come to save you!"
"hmm..."
Upon hearing this almost villainous remark, Noelle blinked, feeling both angry and amused. "You... can't you just let me go? Don't, don't hold me so tightly."
"No, what if you run away when I'm not paying attention?" Jams continued to tightly embrace her waist, as if trying to mold her entire body into his.
"Um... please...," Noelle's eyes narrowed slightly, unable to help but let out a seductive moan.
This strength wasn't just about preventing her from running away; it felt like he wanted to squeeze her whole body into his!
She could basically confirm that Jams was taking advantage of her.
It was so embarrassing, but... it felt so good.
