Chapter 18 Are you here to cause trouble on purpose?

After dealing with Baron White and the middle-aged man, Lilith and Si Jue walked out of the security department.

Fortunately, they left early and it was still in time for them to go to school. Lilith shook her hair and looked at someone who seemed to be in a bad mood from the beginning.

Are you unhappy because she delayed you?

Si Jue lowered his eyes slightly, his red eyes hidden under his thick and long eyelashes, making it difficult to see what he was thinking.

"By the way, I'm sorry about what happened last time. It won't happen again."

Lilith suddenly stopped, turned around and stood in front of the silver-haired boy. She put her hands behind her back, gently twisting her fingertips together, and tilted her head upwards, staring at him.

Maybe it only lasted a few seconds, or maybe it was longer than a minute, so long that Lilith almost couldn't keep the smile on her face, thinking about how to avoid being stabbed. Then Si Jue shook his head gently.

"It's okay, I'm... used to it."

He uttered a few words softly, his eyes fixed on Lilith with a certain stubbornness, making people feel as if they were being stared at by a ferocious beast and their scalps tingled.

But Si Jue's true self is clearly a gentle rabbit. Unless he is forced into a corner, he is usually very well-behaved, right?

Are you used to being sent to the auction house? No, originally Si Jue was sold to her by her parents for 300 star coins.

He was like an unwanted item, passed from one buyer to another, and was sent away when they got tired of him. He couldn't find the meaning of his existence, so he exploded in despair.

A total of forty-nine holes...

The girl shook her head violently and turned back to walk towards the school. This time, the students from the Discipline Office did not try to stop her and even spared Si Jue, who was following her with his collar disheveled.

There is a large area of ​​sycamore trees planted along the road in the campus. The tall trunks of the trees block out a large area of ​​sunlight, and the shade of the trees falls on the students in groups of three or two.

Lilith thought about it, still a little confused.

"Why are you following me? Now everyone will think you and I are very close."

Walking with a bad D-level guide would probably affect Si Jue's reputation, right?

Si Jue raised his head, his eyes flickered slightly, he opened his eyes wide, and pursed his lips tightly as if he had done something wrong.

That's right, after all, it's a rabbit, it's normal to be timid, maybe it was scared by the original owner and dared not disobey,

Lilith stood on tiptoe and patted Si Jue's shoulder like a good brother, her tone was kind and gentle.

"Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble if you don't follow me. Just do what you want to do."

She hummed a song and walked forward, leaving Si Jue alone to look at her back in confusion.

"What do you want to do? As long as I'm not abandoned... anything is fine. I won't give you another chance to abandon me, Lady Lilith."

His eyes flashed and he stepped forward quickly.

Under Xie Huan's unfriendly gaze, Lilith stepped on the bell and sat down in the empty first row. Si Jue also sat next to her.

"I hope that next time in class, some students can correct their attitudes and stop stepping on the spot."

The slightly cold words were transmitted through the loudspeaker to every corner of the classroom. Everyone's eyes fell on the girl who was the center of attention. However, she seemed not to notice Xie Huan's ridicule. She sat upright and looked like she was going to listen to the class seriously.

Lilith doesn't care about other people's opinions. For her, as long as the NPC in the game doesn't want to kill her, she can curse at them.

Moreover, the course taught by the male protagonist Xie Huan was very important and had to be mastered, so Lilith was very focused and wanted to take the course seriously.

Because she is in her second year and doesn't recognize most of the basic knowledge, she would immediately raise her hand to ask questions whenever Xie Huan mentioned a term she didn't know.

"Professor Xie Huan, what does a signalman mainly do?"

"What is the priority strategy during wartime?"

"Can you give us a more detailed explanation of the geopolitical environment?"

“…”

"Lilith, are you here to cause trouble on purpose?"

This knowledge is clearly something that even a child can answer. If Xie Huan didn't do it on purpose to embarrass him, it would be hard for him to come up with any other reason.

The icy black eyes looked at Lilith gravely, and the girl sighed helplessly.

Si Jue beside her gently pulled Lilith's sleeve and whispered,

"You can ask me, I...my grades are pretty good."

As soon as the words fell, Lilith turned around excitedly, her eyes sparkling with reverence, like sparkling gems.

Si Jue's breathing stopped briefly, and then he exhaled slowly, his heart beating violently out of control.

No one had ever looked at him with such hope, as if his answer was very important to her. The joy of being affirmed and taken seriously pierced his chest. In the quiet classroom, he could only hear the deafening sound of his own heartbeat.

Lilith originally wanted to ask quietly, but she felt that making a sound was impolite, so she chose to write and draw on the light computer. Her fingertips moved smoothly in the air, and she pushed the light screen towards Si Jue.

But the sentry in front of him jumped up as if frightened.

"Bang!"

The table was pushed to the ground. Lilith looked at Si Jue, whose body was stiff, helplessly, not understanding what had happened.

"What's going on?"

Xie Huan frowned and walked down, but when he approached, Si Jue couldn't help showing a hint of rejection on his face and took two steps back.

"you……"

"I'm sorry, teacher. I'm feeling a little unwell. Sorry, I'll go to the infirmary."

The silver-haired boy only glanced at the girl beside him quickly, turned around, and disappeared in the classroom in almost the blink of an eye, leaving a faint smell of grass around him.

The calm teacher seemed to realize something and looked at Lilith with a complicated expression before clearing his throat and continuing the class.

Lilith had no idea how she had offended Si Jue, and why he was trying to avoid her.

Didn't he just say that if I didn't understand something, I could ask him? Why did he suddenly change his mind?

They say a woman's heart is as deep as the sea, and she looks at Si Jue.

Lilith propped up her chin and simply wrote down all the terms she didn't understand, intending to look them up later. When the get out of class was about to end, Xie Huan also mentioned the military academy exchange meeting.

"There is no limit on the number of places this time. Everyone is welcome to sign up. Those who are interested can submit their wishes to me."

But after he finished speaking, not many people paid attention. Everyone avoided looking at him and talked quietly.

"The Federation was a terrible bummer at the last military academy exchange. Although only a few unlucky souls died, the survivors were said to have suffered severe mental damage."

"Aside from the honorary rewards, there's no other attraction. I don't want to participate in it and die."

"Shouldn't it be OK to leave this kind of thing to the needy students?"

Facing this situation, Xie Huan was not surprised. He calmly pushed up his glasses, the frames covering his bored eyes.

The empire has been content with the status quo for too long, and most people just come to the military academy to spend their days, and their former sharpness seems to have been worn away.

If you can't gather enough people, then think about using coercive means.

Most of the students had already left, leaving only two figures in the classroom. He exhaled silently and put away his teaching tools, but was stopped by someone.

"Well, I want to sign up."

Lilith raised her hands high and smiled brightly.
