"Ah... Jams... Be gentle..."
Noelle bit her lip, her delicate and pretty face blushing slightly, appearing pure and lovely under the faint moonlight.
"Promise me you won't run, or else I'll keep holding onto you. Wherever you go, I'll go too, even though I'm a bit socially anxious. But for you, I'm willing to overcome it!"
Instead of letting go, Jams held onto her even tighter.
Hmm, Noelle's body is so fragrant and soft, it feels really nice~
"Okay, okay, I got it. I won't run."
Noelle struggled gently for a few times but couldn't break free from Jams' embrace. Helpless, she bit her lip and surrendered, tears welling up.
"You really won't run?" Jams looked at her skeptically.
"I won't run, ouch! Why did you tighten your grip even more? So annoying! If you keep doing this, I'll really get angry... Whoa."
Noelle felt like she was almost merging with Jams, not only feeling his warmth but also his breath blowing behind her ear.
The ticklish sensation made her snowy white neck blush, and her crystal-clear earlobes became even more alluring.
Oops, why is it like this? My body is going to break...
Noelle's legs grew weak, her lips slightly parted, her gaze dazed, as if she might go into a state of rolling her eyes and sticking out her tongue at any moment.
Jams cleared his throat and said with concern, "Uh-huh, don't cry. As a mature man, the last thing I want to see is a girl crying in front of me."
"Then let go of me. Uh-oh, you're always teasing me. Once I become a knight, I'll definitely catch you and protect the people from harm. Phew."
Noelle gently pushed Jams away, crouched on the ground, and buried her face between her knees, sobbing softly.
"I'm afraid you'll run away."
Jams sat on the grass next to her and naturally hugged her fragrant shoulders, comforting her, "When you become a knight, even if you catch me, I'll be happy for you."
"Why?" Noelle, with tear-filled eyes, asked in a sobbing voice.
Jams smiled and said, "Because my friend has finally realized her dream of becoming a knight. As everyone knows, I'm a refined utilitarian. When I see my friend's dreams come true, I can only be happy for her."
"But will you really be willing to be caught by me?" Noelle asked with watery eyes.
"If you want to catch me... it's not impossible, but it depends on where you want to keep me."
Jams stroked his chin and said earnestly, "If you want to lock me up in jail, then I definitely won't be willing."
"Then where would you want me to keep you?"
Noelle lifted her head, her watery eyes filled with confusion.
"Hey."
Jams suddenly placed his hand on Noelle's soft and beautiful silver hair, his eyes pure, and his tone gentle, "I, well, I want to be locked up in your heart... Huh!"
"Heart... in my heart... Uh-oh! So annoying."
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
Upon hearing Jams' cheesy sweet talk, Noelle instantly entered a steam engine mode, her attributes increasing by 300%. Subconsciously, she raised her "little fists" and hammered Jams' chest.
Boom!
The ground around them sank several centimeters, the emerald green grass turned into lifeless brown, and concentric waves of pale golden Geo elements spread out.
"What... the... fuck!!!"
Jams felt like he was hit by a cannonball, the scenery around him rapidly retreating, the sound of wind roaring in his ears, unable to stop!
Flying over a dozen meters, Jams' body smashed into a large pit on the ground, causing the entire area to tremble.
"Jams!"
Noelle looked at Jams, who was sent flying, and was completely shocked.
She cursed herself for being so careless. What would she do if she accidentally hammered Jams to death?
"Cough, cough, cough... I'm... I'm fine!"
Before Noelle could approach to check on the situation, Jams wobbled out of the pit, took out a small comb from his tattered pocket, and while tidying his hair, he said in a hoarse voice, "Just a minor issue, nothing to worry about."
"Uh..."
Noelle saw Jams saying it was a minor issue, but his legs were trembling, his handsome face covered in dust, and a hint of crimson blood at the corner of his mouth.
The girl felt her heart being twisted like a knife.
Swish!
Noelle quickly reached Jams' side and supported his body. Her eyes were filled with concern as she said, "I'm sorry, Jams. I... I didn't mean to hurt you..."
"I said I'm fine. It's just a few broken ribs and a bit of blood, nothing compared to Klee's bombs or Barbara's massive Hydro waves. So easy."
Jams waved his hand, not taking this minor injury seriously at all.
"Are you really okay?"
Noelle still worried, so she mustered up her courage, blushing, and unbuttoned Jams' shirt, placing her fair and soft hands on his chest to carefully examine him.
No fractures, not even bruises!
Noelle's pupils slightly contracted, and waves of astonishment surged in her heart.
Is his physical strength already at the level of a monster? It's terrifying!
"Ah, it feels kind of nice. Since you're so worried about me, how about giving me a full-body examination? I won't resist."
Jams let out a pleasurable moan and lay directly on the ground, spreading his legs in a 'T' shape.
"You... You shameless!"
Seeing him misbehaving again, Noelle wrinkled her cute button nose and scolded, "I am genuinely concerned about you. If you feel any discomfort, you must tell me. But don't deceive me, because... I'll take it seriously."
Overall, this girl belongs to the innocent and obedient type. Even if she's deceived, it's difficult for her to react immediately. However, she particularly didn't want to show her clumsy side in front of Jams.
"You took off my clothes voluntarily to examine me, and now you're saying I'm shameless? I'm so misunderstood..."
Jams saw Noelle's face puffing up, as if she had two big buns in her mouth, and realized he shouldn't tease her anymore.
"Cough, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Come sit here, let's chat about something unrelated."
Clap, clap, clap!
Jams didn't bother getting up; he simply patted the grass next to him, gesturing for Noelle to sit.
"Okay."
Noelle's eyes flickered slightly, hesitating for a moment. Finally, she obediently sat down beside Jams, not minding her newly prepared dress getting dirty with soil.
"..."
Jams turned his head to look at the girl, whose sitting posture outlined even more enticing curves. He smiled and suddenly said, "Noelle, actually, I've been lying to you. I brought you here to go fishing not because I wanted to help you join the Knights, but to fulfill my personal desires."
"Uh."
Noelle's reaction was surprisingly calm. Her light green eyes stared fixedly at the crescent moon in the sky.
Seeing Noelle's composed response, Jams was slightly taken aback, feeling like all the lines he had prepared in advance were unnecessary.
"Aren't you angry?"
"Hmph."
Noelle gave him a small eye-roll and said softly, "These past few days, I've learned a lot from you. So even if you tell me I've been deceived, I can face it calmly."
"And I trust my intuition. You're not the kind of irresponsible man..."
"Great! That's exactly what I wanted to hear! Come here, let's hug!"
Jams shamelessly embraced Noelle's beautiful legs.
"Uh, no..."
