Levin was speechless; the little witch's wildly imaginative ideas were always so unexpected.
Despite being a psychic, she used her psychic abilities to sense Levin's agitation, yet she insisted on seeing a harassing mantis.
However, Levin appreciated the girl's kindness.
Chapter 330 To the Oak Tree
Luna had become accustomed to the fact that her attempts to harass him had been ineffective.
She skipped over the harassment of the fly and asked directly, "So, is your boyfriend in trouble again?"
“It’s about Zhang Qiu.” Levin thought for a moment, then instead of asking directly, he recounted what had happened to the girl.
Actually, by the time Levin reached Luna, he already had a vague idea of why Cho Chang was acting this way.
If it were any other girl standing in front of him, even if it were Cirira, Levin wouldn't have said those things.
Only a fool would openly discuss his feelings for another girl in front of a girl who likes him.
But Luna was an exception.
In front of this girl, Levin felt he could confide anything to her, and he didn't care what he said.
Perhaps it's because this girl doesn't care about many things.
Perhaps it's because she has a vivid imagination that she's not surprised by even the most outrageous things she hears.
In short, in Levin's eyes, Luna has always been a magical girl.
Luna seemed very interested in Levin's love life, and made a gesture of listening attentively.
Levin did not hide anything.
The two began to stroll around the courtyard.
As they walked, Levin briefly explained the whole story of why Zhang Qiu hadn't brought him food, including his own speculations.
“I think I might have been neglecting her too much lately, and with the Christmas party coming up, it seems like I hurt her feelings.”
Levin analyzed to himself,
He turned to look at Luna, hoping to get some advice from the little witch.
Unexpectedly, Luna fell behind, tilting her head as if deep in thought, and did not keep up with his pace.
Levin was about to ask a question when Luna's voice reached his ears first.
"It must be because my boyfriend is too tall!"
tall?
Levin frowned; he didn't understand what Luna was trying to say.
Perhaps this was just a passing fancy for Luna.
Perhaps it contains some deeper meaning.
Her thoughts are always so jumpy and elusive.
Just as he was thinking, Luna suddenly walked over, gently leaned close to him, and placed her hands on his shoulders.
Levin felt the touch of the girl's slender fingers.
Although Luna always playfully calls him "boyfriend",
However, they didn't have much close contact.
Levin was quite restrained with younger girls.
Now, faced with Luna's proactive approach, Levin simply opened his arms and gently wrapped them around her waist, without making any further reaction.
He felt Luna's hands on his shoulders tighten slightly, as if trying to convey something.
That subtle touch stirred a strange feeling within Levin.
Out of curiosity, Levin did not resist, but followed Luna's guidance, slowly squatted down, and finally sat on the ground.
“That’s much better!” Luna’s voice was full of satisfaction.
She reached out, compared the height difference between herself and Levin, and then suddenly hugged Levin.
Levin was somewhat surprised by Luna's hug.
He felt Luna's soft body pressed against his chest, exuding a faint fragrance.
Although Luna looks thin and frail, she isn't always like that.
In the courtyard, two small lotus flowers bloom on the calm surface of the lake in early summer. Their petals are delicate, yet their growth is astonishing.
Levin felt a strange sense of warmth as he leaned gently against Luna.
The girl's hair gently brushed against his neck, bringing a tingling, ticklish sensation.
"I think you're as tall as that oak tree in the yard," Luna said, hugging Levin tightly, her voice slightly muffled.
Levin could feel her soft breathing, like a feather gently brushing against his neck, bringing a tingling sensation.
She hugged him so tightly that Levin felt her petite body trying to merge into his.
This intimate embrace went beyond the boundaries of friendship, but Levin didn't mind; in fact, he found it somewhat enjoyable.
"That oak tree was tall and beautiful, its roots connected to the surrounding trees, its branches and leaves sheltering everything from the wind and rain. It gathered the power of nature and spread it, nourishing the entire forest. It was a miracle of all plants, and every Lacey was willing to take care of it."
Luna's voice is very ethereal, like she's singing.
Levin seemed to understand the other person's metaphor.
"Are you saying that I have too many 'Lassies' around me, and she finally couldn't take it anymore?" Levin asked hesitantly.
Luna did not answer; she seemed lost in her own world.
Levin didn't disturb Luna, and silently held the girl.
"The problem isn't caused by you, it's caused by other people."
Luna's ethereal voice rang out again, seemingly speaking for Zhang Qiu, yet also seemingly telling her own story.
“There are many creatures willing to take care of this oak tree, including strong tree people, clever tree spirits, and water sprites from foreign lands, but she considers herself just a Lacey, nothing special at all.”
Levin probably understood.
The tree people probably refer to Ciri.
The dryad is Hermione.
The water sprite from a foreign land was clearly Hibiscus.
“Zhang Qiu and I both know that our boyfriend has some truly grand dreams. Everything you’ve created is unprecedented; it’s enough to usher in a new era. And each of them is outstanding, each possesses unique talents, and could be our boyfriend’s right-hand woman,” Luna whispered softly. “But we’re just ordinary girls.”
“No, that’s not it!” Levin retorted to Luna, speaking very seriously. “Neither you nor Zhang Qiu are ordinary girls. To me, you are both special girls, holding a unique meaning for me!”
Levin gently wrapped his arms around Luna's slender waist, feeling her like a peony bud about to bloom, quietly pressed against his chest.
The faint fragrance emanating from her was like a gentle breeze on a summer morning, carrying a hint of sweetness and coolness.
A newly blossoming lotus gently pressed against Levin's chest, its softness making him momentarily dazed. They were so close they could hear each other's heartbeats, and Levin could even feel the warmth of Luna's soft breath.
"Thank you, boyfriend!" Luna's voice was like a spring breeze caressing the strings of a harp, filled with joy and satisfaction. Her eyes narrowed, and she said in a light, singing tone, "Zhang Qiu must also want you to tell her that she is special to you, that she is the one and only Lacey."
Levin looked at Luna with a gentle yet firm gaze: "You're right. I will tell Chang Cho that she is unique in my heart and will never be replaced."
He held Luna tightly, as if he wanted to imprint her image in his heart.
Luna did not reject Levin's hug; she raised her hand and gently stroked his hair, as if to comfort him.
Her voice was soft and ethereal, "If she also believes you are the most special and unique person, then she definitely will too..."
Levin suddenly thought of something else.
He asked Luna curiously, "By the way, are you planning to attend the Christmas ball this year?"
A gentle breath brushed against Luna's body.
Luna's face flushed slightly, and she said softly, "But who would invite me to be their dance partner?"
Her voice carried a hint of helplessness and regret.
Levin then remembered that Luna was only in third grade.
According to the rules, she could not attend the ball unless invited.
Levin was somewhat surprised, however; a pretty girl like Luna should have many suitors.
If Luna were to attend the ball, she would most likely wear those outlandish outfits, such as that silver starry dress covered in sequins, along with a butterbeer cork pendant, carrot earrings, or the headband made by Airship Li, instantly becoming the focus of the entire ball.
However, not everyone can withstand the strange looks from others like Luna.
Seeing Luna's disappointed expression, Levin felt a strong urge to protect her.
He gazed into Luna's beautiful silver eyes and said earnestly, "So, beautiful Miss Luna, as a reward for my answer to you, would you be willing to dance with me at Christmas?"
Luna's eyes widened in surprise at first, then gradually broke into a happy smile. She nodded and said, "It is a great honor to dance with you, Levin."
Levin smiled too, a warm feeling welling up inside him as he looked at Luna's radiant smile.

Chapter 331 Reconciliation
Herbalism class is finally over
Zhang Qiu left the greenhouse and walked towards the castle, her face full of confusion.
She performed very poorly in the last class.
In this class, Professor Sprout asked them to transplant bouncy bulbs. Because she was distracted, a bouncy bulb twisted and broke free from Zhang Qiu's hand and hit her hard in the face, causing a burst of laughter.
Later, Professor Sprout deducted points for answering a question incorrectly.
Since drinking the elixir of permanent attributes, Mingming's grades have soared to the top of her grade, and she has never performed so poorly.
Even after class, Zhang Qiu still hadn't recovered from that state.
Instead of returning to the girls' dormitory or going to the Great Hall, she wandered alone in Hogwarts Castle, feeling a pang of regret as she thought about her parting with Levin not long ago.
When Levin asked that question, she realized she had misunderstood.
