52: save5 Liu Lili Goes to Help at Her Aunt's House
"I..."
Liu Lili really did as Lu Lele said. She closed her eyes, and her mind was filled entirely with images of Lu Lele.
Every single one, every fra. All of them.
Unerasable. Even if she tried hard to wipe them away, they wouldn't disappear.
Yes, she didn't know when it started, but she had already fallen in love with this whimsical, impulsive girl.
Even knowing there would be no result. Even knowing they would separate one day.
But the current her was completely unable to refuse this idiot in front of her anymore...
Well then, let's be reckless with her just this once.
In this limited ti.
Liu Lili opened her eyes, actively placed her hand on Lu Lele's, and said in a calm, serious voice.
"I'm willing."
At that mont, Lu Lele's Acting Value reached its peak.
A new save point was established.
"Lili..."
Lu Lele felt supre happiness and joy in her heart at this mont, and said with equal seriousness.
"Then from now on, please take care of , my dear lover."
Lu Lele and Liu Lili finished that dinner together, which, though not lavish, was very aningful, then happily went ho.
She planned to rest well tonight, sleep soundly, and call her sister tomorrow after waking up.
Lu Lele believed that with the fact of [I and Liu Lili have beco lovers], her sister would be even more supportive. After all, her sister had done so much for her and Liu Lili in previous cycles; surely she could do the sa things now.
Lu Lele felt very optimistic. The future seed to have beco very bright.
...
anwhile.
Leaving the restaurant, Liu Lili set off on the road to her aunt's house.
Along the way, her heart kept pounding, unable to calm down for a long ti.
She had actually really agreed to that person's confession, this undeniable fact kept flashing in Liu Lili's mind. Each flash made her body tremble slightly as if shocked by electricity.
An indescribable feeling of excitent and apprehension rose in her heart. It was the anticipation and fear instinctively generated by her brain upon realizing that her life from now on was about to undergo a major change.
Yes. She had already agreed to that idiot.
No, perhaps she shouldn't call her an idiot anymore. After all, that person had made her completely fall in just two short days and two confessions. The real idiot was probably herself.
Who would have thought that Lu Lele, always so careless, doing whatever ca to mind, would actually go to such lengths.
Asking her out to eat, then suddenly saying those sentintal words and confessing to her...
That kind of thing simply wasn't sothing you could refuse just because you wanted to!
Liu Lili felt Lu Lele was very cunning. Now, thinking back calmly on what just happened, it was obvious Lu Lele had planned it in advance, even done so investigation on her. Otherwise, she couldn't have made those guesses.
This made Liu Lili feel a little scared, thinking what Lu Lele did was a bit excessive, a bit like she would stop at nothing to achieve her goal.
Liu Lili even suspected that if she had still chosen to refuse Lu Lele just now, that person might have done sothing even more outrageous.
For example, the kind of move she saw in shoujo manga, where they tie up their beloved and take them ho over a disagreent.
Liu Lili didn't believe Lu Lele would do such a thing; she just thought about it briefly and moved on.
However, what felt strange to Liu Lili was that when she thought of that manga move, she experienced a peculiar sense of déjà vu.
It was like... the kind of feeling you get from sothing you dread about, as if she had experienced sothing similar in a dream.
Naturally, Liu Lili dismissed this sense of déjà vu as an illusion. Right now, her mind was completely filled with thoughts like [What do I do I actually agreed to the confession how should I interact with Lu Lele from now on], and she quickly forgot about it.
Liu Lili couldn't help but sigh.
She felt she had been rather impulsive just now. Clearly only one day had passed. Why could she refuse so cleanly and decisively yesterday, yet today she agreed after just a few words from Lu Lele and a al?
But, since she had already agreed, she had to take it seriously.
Liu Lili carefully counted. No matter how she counted on her fingers, the ti she could be with Lu Lele was only these two years, the second and third years of middle school.
That's right... because this romance would inevitably be lost sooner or later, she must cherish it.
Liu Lili began to fantasize about her future life, about scenes of being lovey-dovey with her lover from now on.
This made a sweet feeling well up in Liu Lili's heart, like honey.
Yet, Liu Lili couldn't help but think about two years later, about the inevitable separation then.
This turned the sweetness into bitterness. After all, knowing the destined outco, no matter how sweet the process, it lost its color, shrouded in a hazy gray mist.
No, she couldn't think about this anymore.
Liu Lili shook her head, forcing herself to focus on the matter of going to help at her aunt's house.
The journey passed quickly, and Liu Lili arrived on ti, before six o'clock.
Liu Lili's aunt lived alone in the suburbs. Due to physical reasons, her legs weren't very convenient, so Liu Lili went to help every week, cleaning and handling household chores.
This was a task Liu Lili's mother found for her. The reason was that since Liu Lili had nothing to do after school on Fridays anyway, she might as well go help, "broaden her horizons and cultivate her housekeeping skills."
Liu Lili's aunt would give Liu Lili a certain "hardship fee." Of course, Liu Lili never saw this money; it was directly transferred by her aunt to Liu Lili's mother.
Every week, there were many things Liu Lili needed to do, including but not limited to sweeping, mopping, washing dishes, wiping tables, doing laundry, making the bed, taking out the trash, etc. Although her aunt's house wasn't big, it still took Liu Lili four or five hours to finish, getting ho around ten or eleven.
Of course, that was under normal circumstances.
Liu Lili's aunt was a relatively mild middle-aged woman. It was said she had once been married, but it broke down very quickly. Her aunt couldn't accept it and tried to commit suicide by jumping off a building but didn't die, only ruined her legs, needing to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.
This also caused Liu Lili's aunt to develop so ntal issues. They weren't noticeable at all normally, but once they flared up, she could beco terrifying.
Every ti Liu Lili went to help on Fridays, it was like opening a blind box. She could only pray her aunt's ntal state was relatively normal so she could complete her work more smoothly and go ho earlier.
Unfortunately, today Liu Lili's luck wasn't good.
"You're here."
After entering, Liu Lili found her aunt had clearly just been crying, her expression sowhat twisted.
"Lili, you ca at just the right ti. Auntie really wanted to talk to soone..."
Every ti Liu Lili's aunt had an episode, she wouldn't hit or scold people, but she would pester soone to chat, not letting Liu Lili do her actual work, chatting for hours on end.
Liu Lili felt helpless, but she couldn't escape.
She was forced to be pulled by her aunt to listen to stories, hearing over and over again about her aunt's failed marriage and the deeds of the damned heartless scoundrel in her aunt's mouth, all while having to respond appropriately, not appearing too perfunctory.
She didn't know how much ti had passed when her aunt, finally having vented her emotions, returned to normal and said.
"Lili, thank you for chatting with . Then, this week's housework will also be troubleso for you."
Liu Lili secretly glanced at her little bear watch. Seeing the ti had already reached a quarter past nine, the corner of her eye couldn't help but twitch.
