Chapter 16 You Have to Get Used to It
Before he fell out with Lilith, Shen Jiaxu was also bewildered by her appearance when he first met her.
He grew up in the slums until he was four years old. There were very few girls there because girls were more likely to awaken as guides and no one would abandon them, unless they were the kind of sickly little girls who looked like they would not live long.
Dirty air, foul odor, rainy skies, and food in trash cans made up Shen Jiaxu's short childhood.
Later, on the first day he was brought to Count Willand's house, he was wearing shabby clothes, with only his face clean. From the secluded side door, he saw the beautiful girl who looked like a doll in the window.
Lilith, who was still a child at that time, grabbed Lady Katrin's hand and pointed at him arrogantly.
"He looks nice, I want to play with him."
In Lilith's eyes, except for herself, everyone else was her plaything. The Duke was of noble status, the Queen had only one prince, and there was no other girl of higher status than her in the entire Central Star. She naturally had the support of others and developed a bad temper.
She liked his face, but she hated his identity as a Sentinel, because a D-class guide could not match an S-class Sentinel. She could not appease him, control his mind, or combine his spirit body with his.
So, Shen Jiaxu thought, perhaps Lilith's strange behavior was due to unspeakable jealousy, but why should he bear her anger?
He pressed on the girl's shoulders, trying to push her away, but when his fingers touched Lilith, she rubbed her face against his fingertips like a cat.
"Sleepy……"
Lilith spoke vaguely, her voice like a spoiled child. The faint airflow brought by her breath fell on her skin, causing a tingling sensation.
The faint fragrance that came from nowhere reached the tip of his nose again, and Shen Jiaxu couldn't help but curl his fingers.
The next moment, those blue eyes opened, still a little confused and bewildered, like a noble ragdoll cat finally letting others touch its soft fur, proudly raised its chin,
She was now like a hateful and arrogant cat, ready to order him around and bite, beat him, and scold him. He should have hated her and wanted to skin her alive, but seeing this scene, he awkwardly recalled the excitement of their first meeting.
Lilith was in a trance for only a moment before she woke up immediately. She quickly shrank back and wanted to ask why Shen Jiaxu held her in his arms.
But judging by the position of the bed sheet and her movements, Shen Jiaxu didn't move at all. It was her poor sleeping posture that tied him up.
She smiled awkwardly, took her new uniform and ran into the bathroom. The cold water made her mind clear up a lot.
"Oh my god, I actually threw myself into Shen Jiaxu's arms. The vicious female supporting character and the male lead had intimate contact. I'm sure the players will scold me to death, right?"
Lilith muttered to herself while washing and changing clothes. It wasn't that she didn't like those gorgeous and beautiful dresses,
People always love beauty, and she also wants to wear a gorgeous dress every day like a princess.
However, she is a fake daughter, and there is no telling when her identity will be exposed. Everything will be returned to her, except for the uniform, which belongs to "Military Academy Lilith".
After finishing a breakfast that they couldn't swallow, Lilith and Shen Jiaxu walked to the side of the aircraft and breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't like that cold and serious atmosphere. She preferred chatting with her friends over meals, sharing gossip, and secretly discussing the homework assigned by the teacher...
But she can't go back.
Lilith's eyes became dim. In this world, she had no relatives, no friends, and even her five husbands did not love her and wanted to kill her.
"Ah, cheer up!"
The girl shouted with all her might, and waved her hand in front of Shen Jiaxu's puzzled gaze.
"You sit by yourself. I'm going to take the tram."
"What?"
The boy turned around to look at her. Perhaps because the sun was too bright, or perhaps because the smile on Lilith's face was too brilliant, he almost didn't hear her answer.
"Habit?"
Shen Jiaxu repeated it and stopped interfering, thinking it was just another time for the young lady to experience life.
But Lilith's attitude was very serious and cautious. She did not lie. She said, "You have to get used to it." Because the fake daughter did not have a flying vehicle, no one would come to pick her up.
She had to figure out what a person needed in life while there was still time, so as not to end up in a miserable situation.
Hmm... maybe Alice knows this kind of thing very well, should I ask her? But she just said "self-indulgent" to the heroine, so wouldn't it be too strange to cling to her now?
The bell for the train's arrival rang, and a long staircase descended. Before Lilith could react, she was pushed up by people.
Her eyes were somewhat numb. When she went to school, she used to walk because it was very close to the school.
I also heard from my friends that the morning rush hour buses and subways are very scary. Now she has experienced it. She doesn't even have to walk on the road by herself. She is "carried up" by other tall and strong guys.
After finally escaping from the embarrassing situation of being pressed against the glass screen door, Lilith breathed a sigh of relief and curled up in the corner as much as possible.
But isn't this guy in front of me a little too close?
Lilith frowned and raised her head. The middle-aged man in a suit had a wretched look on his face. He was not pushed over by others, but he was deliberately trying to get close to her.
In a flash, Lilith had already figured out where she was going to kick him, whether it was a punch to the nose or a palm to the abdomen. By the way, it seems that the punishment for those who offend the guide in the interstellar world is quite severe?
"Don't be afraid, I'll just take a look. Later, I'll give you a lot of money, okay?"
A hoarse and unpleasant voice sounded. Lilith looked at her uniform and understood something. It seemed that this man in a suit had used money to seduce many children from the slums, and she was his new prey.
She moved her fingertips, judged the difference in physical strength, and decisively hit the middle-aged man in the face with her shoulder bag.
The other person immediately cried out in pain and fell backwards onto the other passengers. Before the commotion could escalate, Lilith punched him in the cheekbone again.
Although this was the body of a weak guide, the self-defense skills deeply engraved in her mind still worked. Lilith almost pinned the middle-aged man to the ground and beat him. A small area was immediately cleared around him.
The beaten middle-aged man stood up staggeringly, stretched out his hand as if to pounce.
Lilith raised one leg high, intending to kick at the chin, but someone suddenly grabbed her ankle. She turned her head and saw Si Jue looking at her with red eyes and tightly pursed lips.
