Divine Flame Crystal

Chapter 556 Elena's Feelings

Elena has long silver hair that is as smooth as moonlight. The slight waves make her hair shine with silver luster in the sun. She often puts her long hair up casually, but even the casual bun is exquisite and sophisticated. Sometimes she will use a simple silver hairpin to fix her hair, revealing a classic and noble temperament. On special occasions, she will let her long hair fall on her shoulders. The silver hair falls to her waist and sways gently with her steps, like a flowing galaxy.

Elena's facial features are delicate and dignified, as if they were works of art carefully crafted by a master. Her face is a soft oval, and her skin is white and delicate, as if it is porcelain without a single flaw. Her eyes are particularly eye-catching, a pair of deep violet eyes, as if they contain endless wisdom and mystery, and her eyes often carry a calm scrutiny, but also reveal a hint of tenderness inadvertently. The corners of her eyes are slightly raised, giving people a sense of nobility that is close yet distant, and her long and thick eyelashes add a bit of charming brilliance to her eyes.

Elena's nose is high and straight, which adds to the three-dimensionality and distinct contours of her face. Her lips are full and beautiful, and the color of her lips is naturally light pink. She doesn't smile often, and most of the time she keeps a calm expression. However, when she smiles occasionally, her whole face seems to soften instantly, and her smile exudes a kind of affinity that is hard to ignore.

Elena has a slender and well-proportioned figure, slender yet curvaceous. She is about 1.7 meters tall, with an upright posture, always standing straight, and her every move reveals her majesty and confidence as a mentor. She often wears a fitted robe or a wizard robe unique to the academy. Those clothes are always simple but elegant, usually dark purple or dark blue, embellished with silver rune embroidery, which is faintly visible in the sun, exuding a mysterious atmosphere. This type of clothing not only sets off her professional identity, but also shows her slender figure and graceful posture to the fullest.

On some formal occasions, Elena would occasionally change into a more gorgeous magic robe. At that time, her dress would usually be more exquisite, wearing some ancient magic accessories, such as a necklace inlaid with amethyst or complicated earrings. These accessories were not simply decorations, but were often antiques with powerful magical powers, but they looked very natural on her, as if they were integrated with her, further highlighting her nobility and mystery.

Her hands are slender, her fingertips are always clean and neat, her nails are neatly trimmed, and she often holds a quill or a magic scroll between her fingers, which looks very elegant. Although her beauty is amazing, she never uses it to attract attention. On the contrary, her beauty always complements her wisdom, strength and calmness, forming an irresistible and unique charm.

Elena's overall temperament is like a noble moonlight flower blooming at night, cold and gentle, elegant and powerful. Her appearance perfectly matches her rigor and knowledge as a mentor, giving people a feeling of being both unattainable and admirable. Because of this, she is not only regarded as a role model by students in the academy, but also attracts the attention of many colleagues. But for Elena, her external beauty is only the tip of the iceberg. What really attracts people is her hidden talent and her heart that is persistent in pursuing the truth of magic.

Xingluo never deliberately tried to attract anyone's attention. His dedication to teaching, meticulous guidance of students, and his extraordinary magical attainments made him quickly stand out in the academy. However, it was this unintentional charm that attracted Elena. The first time Elena really noticed Xingluo was at an academic seminar of the academy. The theme of that meeting was to discuss the application of advanced space magic, and Xingluo gave an amazing speech at the meeting. His calm and precise analysis and profound insights made Elena have a deep respect for him. She had never seen a person who could understand space magic so thoroughly, as if he himself was the embodiment of magic.

As she got to know Xingluo better, Elena gradually realized that she had more than just academic appreciation for this young mentor. She began to have more complicated feelings for him. Xingluo's calmness and concentration, and even his patience and care for students, made Elena feel an indescribable attraction. This feeling made her confused and uneasy. She never thought that she would have such feelings for a colleague. She resisted this feeling in her heart because she knew that as a female mentor who had worked in the academic world for many years, her emotional life had always been simple and clear, and she had never had too many entanglements in emotions.

However, as time went on, Elena found that she could no longer control her feelings for Xingluo. She began to approach him deliberately, trying to find opportunities to communicate with him. Whenever there was an academic activity at the academy, Elena would find an opportunity to talk to Xingluo, whether discussing the latest progress in magic research or chatting about some light topics in her spare time. She was eager to establish a closer relationship with Xingluo. Her care and contact became more and more frequent, and she would wait outside Xingluo's laboratory from time to time, just to meet him by chance and chat with him a few more words.

At first, Xingluo did not notice the change in Elena's emotions. He was immersed in magic research most of the time and paid little attention to the emotions of the outside world. He regarded Elena's contact and care as a normal communication between colleagues, and even had high respect for her academic ability. Elena's attainments in the history of magic and runes impressed Xingluo. They often discussed their respective research fields at academic seminars, and they also admired each other's talents.

However, as Elena's concern for Xingluo gradually went beyond the scope of a normal colleague, Xingluo began to feel something was wrong. Elena no longer just appeared at academic conferences or college activities, she often waited for him after class, and always inadvertently mentioned the proposal of having lunch with him or discussing some magic issues together on various occasions. Xingluo was not an emotionally dull person, and as the number of these "accidental" meetings increased, he gradually realized Elena's true intentions.

Xingluo was confused. He had been focusing on his magic research and teaching work, and had almost no investment in personal emotions. He knew very well that he did not have no affection for Elena. In fact, he had a very high opinion of her academic ability and teaching style, and even felt her unique charm on some occasions. However, Xingluo knew deep down that there was no extra space in his world to carry these complicated emotions. He put all his energy into the exploration of magic, especially since he broke through the bottleneck of magic. The strong desire to explore in his heart occupied almost every corner of his life, and deep in his heart he also had a Pandora. Although he had not seen her for many years, her position had never been shaken.
