One day, Lily was suddenly taken by a fatal event and finds herself in an otome game. Good news: she is a precious guide and has five powerful sentinel husbands. Bad news: she is the cruel supporti...
Chapter 73 It’s so late, check the homework?
[Who is it? Qi Hanxing? Si Jue? Or someone else?]
The next second, the message was withdrawn.
Did he pass the physiology exam?
[Withdrawn]
【Lilith, answer the video.】
In the girl's panicked sight, the black-haired teacher's rather cold and serious face appeared in the cramped space, and the video faithfully recorded his every move in the camera.
Xie Huan seemed to be in his study, with a cabinet of professional books and several small models behind him. He frowned, tapped his fingertips on the desk a few times, then looked up at the camera.
That sharp gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the screen. Lilith blinked and made a silent gesture to Shen Jiaxu before connecting the video call.
She coughed lightly, and immediately planned to seize the opportunity to praise him first.
"Teacher, it's so late and you haven't slept yet? You really have devoted yourself to your work and will die with all your heart and soul..."
"Lilith."
But Xie Huan interrupted her directly. He pressed his brows, looking a little tired.
"Who's there with you? Where are you now?"
The environment seemed too dim, and he could only see Lilith's face, which occupied most of the camera. Even so, her appearance was not distorted at all.
Through the high-definition camera of the optical computer, he saw some rotten wood behind Lilith. The old oil lamp swayed above her head, and the light and shadow fluctuated instantly.
"Uh, this is home, I guess. There's no one else here. What's wrong?"
Lilith responded, her voice was dry and her eyes were trembling slightly, it was obvious that she was lying,
The lie full of loopholes was exposed in a second, and Lilith heard the voice that sounded like a verdict again.
"Don't lie to me, Lilith, I heard someone else's voice."
"Ah, was the announcement too loud just now? Sorry, teacher, the soundproofing here in the slums isn't very good."
Lilith racked her brains to try to fool around, and the camera only dared to focus on herself. In her trembling eyes, a slender hand came over, and Shen Jiaxu gently touched her bangs.
"It's messed up. I told you not to use so much force."
Hard? What do you mean hard? She just bumped his forehead, why does saying it always make people think so much?
"Hey, don't..." Nonsense,
Lilith just whispered to stop him when Shen Jiaxu had already pointed the camera at himself.
"Good evening, Professor Xie. It's so late. Are you still going to check the students' homework?"
In the camera, Shen Jiaxu was polite, his narrow eyes staring straight at Xie Huan.
"So it's you."
"It's me. Are you worried about Lilith's safety? She's safe with me."
"You shouldn't stay with her so late."
Xie Huan said this coldly, but Shen Jiaxu refuted it calmly.
"As a teacher, what are you asking me to do? I don't think even Professor Xie has the right to control students' nighttime activities, right?"
"Or husband?"
Shen Jiaxu paused for a moment, then spoke with a subtle smile.
"As far as I know, you agreed to the divorce application immediately. Now you are Lilith's ex-husband. I'm afraid you have no right to care who she is with. You are already old, and you should rest early."
On both ends of the video, two handsome men were arguing with each other. One was mature and abstinent, the other was gentle and warm. Lilith looked at one and then the other, really not understanding what they were arguing about.
She just felt a little confused, so she simply shouted to Xie Huan,
"Teacher, let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm a little sleepy. Goodbye."
After hanging up the phone without hesitation, Shen Jiaxu was pushed out by Lilith before he could even show his signature smile.
"You too, don't think I don't know your little thoughts. Are you planning to kill me while I'm asleep again? No way!"
Only when the safe house was truly quiet did Lilith breathe a sigh of relief. Although the whole day had been chaotic, at least everything was moving in a positive direction.
She curled up on the sofa, with a mesh-like cloth covering her waist, her fingertips touching her heart.
The oil lamp seemed like a prop with a fixed purpose, and the wick never decreased. In the dim light, Lilith listened to the countdown and slowly closed her eyes.
…
The next day, she went through the same routine: class - cafeteria - teasing Qi Hanxing - comforting Si Jue - class - evening tutoring - treating Shen Jiaxu's spirit body.
The four male protagonists were inexplicably around her, and the female protagonist had been missing for a long time, but Lilith didn't care too much. Just improving her mental strength to find a way to deal with the bomb had already consumed all her thoughts.
In the guidance class, Fu Shuran winked jokingly and listed the ranking of yesterday's guidance element concentration.
Lilith firmly holds the top spot with data 20% higher than the others.
Did Xie Huan test her guide hormone levels yesterday? Why doesn't she remember? Or was it when she fainted?
"Very impressive, Lilith. It seems that if your pheromones were released among the sentinels, they would instantly lose control."
Xingyun said this with some admiration, and even Qiong was very surprised. She hesitated for a moment and walked over awkwardly.
"Well, how did you do that?"
"What? Uh, that finger..."
Joan opened her eyes wide in disbelief and said angrily,
"That's it? Are you just trying to fool me? If you don't want to talk about it, forget it, humph!"
She left like a pufferfish, and Xingyun almost fell to the ground laughing.
"Hahaha, she should be curbed. She always looks so arrogant."
God bless you, Lilith was telling the truth. As for the concentration of the pheromone, she thought that it was because she was at the critical moment of upgrading that the proportion of pheromones increased.
Fortunately, the following courses were more serious, and Si Jue and Qi Hanxing never had the chance to enter the classroom again.
Lilith studied H012 frantically. Every day before going to bed, she would sketch its appearance in her mind and then gradually replace the bomb in her heart.
108 wires, clean energy hidden in the center, and parts that control the countdown.
She almost memorized where every thread connected, but it was not enough.
She has to take it apart herself once.
On March 29, Lilith proposed her idea to Xie Huan, but he frowned and objected.
"No, bomb disposal is a very dangerous thing. Even a well-trained soldier needs at least a semester of training before he can actually do it. How many days have you studied?"
"But it's too late. The Far Marching Army starts recruiting tomorrow. I don't have time."
Lilith found a perfect excuse. She stared at Xie Huan with unwavering stubbornness in her eyes.
After a long standoff, Xie Huan had no choice but to give in.
"I don't have H012 here."
"That……"
"H012? Fu Sui has it."
Fu Shuran appeared out of nowhere, smiling sweetly.
