Chapter 59 Can I go to your house?
"Lady Lilith..."
"Don't call me sir, just call me by my name."
Lilith pursed her lips, deliberately not looking at the silver-haired boy's delicate face, and naturally missed his expression that suddenly dimmed.
Because of the delay, night had already fallen and the entire campus seemed to have become quiet. Except for the bright lights, there was nothing else.
She thought of what Fu Shuran said, and her head was still buzzing.
"You're so stupid! You're not responsible, so what's wrong with those sentries? Aren't they paid for their mental stability?"
"What's immoral? What kind of pedantic family do you come from? When Lady Catherine was having sex with ten men, Duke Catherine was still guarding the door for her."
"To become powerful, you must do whatever it takes. As long as it doesn't hurt others and it's consensual, then it doesn't matter. Lilith, you shouldn't be bound by those outdated ideas."
However, Si Jue is the male protagonist in the game. Doesn't the male protagonist exist only for the female protagonist? He is destined to fall in love with the female protagonist, otherwise the reason for his existence will be erased.
Lilith walked in silence, a little lost. She was so focused on moving forward that she didn't notice she was about to hit the edge of the raised flower bed.
Si Jue reached out his hand and gently embraced her, but only supported her without touching her, and then looked at her quietly.
As if sensing Lilith's previous resistance, he never tried to make close contact again, and even his eyes seemed restrained and gentle.
Those red eyes no longer had the allure and resentment they had when they first met. Now they were like rubies quietly waiting to be auctioned, reflecting transparent colors under the light.
Because Lilith stopped, he also stood quietly without moving, neither urging nor showing any impatience.
Even because Lilith was looking into his eyes, he spread his legs and lowered himself to a height slightly above her.
Si Jue's movements were so natural that Lilith didn't feel any pressure. She stared at her reflection in the red eyes and thought,
Alice doesn't like the sentinels, and she doesn't like them now. So, Si Jue is not the male protagonist. He is a separate person, an ordinary NPC.
So, could she also think that his feelings at the moment were real, and at least would not disappear in the short term?
She would not stay in contact with them for too long. As for whether Si Jue regretted it or not after a while, it was none of her business. She just had to enjoy herself.
Thinking of this, she raised the corners of her mouth and reached out to gently tap the boy's smooth forehead.
"Let's go home!"
Si Jue was stunned for a moment. The girl's gentle "lesson" did not bring any pain at all. Instead, it was like a breeze that rippled his heart and made him unable to calm down.
He followed her silently, like a loyal guard.
But as soon as she left the school gate, Lilith stopped. She had no home now, and it was impossible for her to take Si Jue to the auction house again. She had a psychological trauma.
As for the safe zone, it was too small for the sentries to even stretch their legs straight.
Villa? No way.
Lilith frowned in distress. She didn't have much money right now, and it felt weird to go to a hotel.
After hesitating for a moment, Lilith raised her head and stood on tiptoe, waving at Si Jue. The tall boy bent over and leaned over, his fluffy hair shining in the moonlight.
"Si Jue, can I go to your house?"
Once she opened her mouth, her aura seemed to become more confident. Lilith waited eagerly for the answer, her blue eyes full of anticipation.
"But my home is in a slum, and the environment there is very bad."
Lilith didn't care. Technically speaking, she also lived in the slums. She blinked her eyes.
"It's okay. I want to go. I'm going."
She deliberately emphasized the word "want" to express her absolute determination to achieve her goal.
Si Jue was so blatantly acting like a spoiled child that he was completely unable to refuse. He seemed to be led away by a light and floating feeling. By the time he realized what was happening, he and Lilith were already standing at the door.
Strange patterns were spray-painted on the rusty iron gate, including a red "X" and even the words "Get Out".
Just as Lilith was about to take a closer look, the door next door was roughly pushed open, and a shirtless man reeking of alcohol cursed drunkenly,
"You're making so much noise going upstairs, it's killing me! You little bastard, didn't I warn you to be quiet?"
Perhaps it was the noise made by her heels stepping on the iron stairs. Lilith frowned, but the other party's accusation was a bit too much.
She looked up at Si Jue. He seemed to be used to being treated like this. He just remained silent and lowered his head to comfort the girl.
"I'm sorry to have you witness this."
Following Si Jue's movements, the drunk man vaguely saw the girl wearing the same color uniform behind him. His eyes widened.
"You little bastard, you're bringing a woman home? Do you think a guy who hasn't even grown all his hair knows how to bring happiness to others? Hahahaha!"
The lustful gaze tried to look back, but the broad chest blocked all gazes. Si Jue blocked the girl without leaving a trace, and the gentleness in his eyes disappeared.
"Get out! If you dare to disrespect her again, I'll kill you."
The usually timid young man bared his ferocious fangs, and the pressure of a high-level sentinel poured out. Before Lilith could react, the drunk man in front of her fell to the ground with a "thump".
Now completely sober, the drunk watched Si Jue send the girl into the house with gentle words, and then walked towards him.
"W-What do you want to do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flew into the air and landed on the floor of his house with a dull "bang". In the severe pain, he watched Si Jue politely close the door.
Lilith turned her head when she heard the noise. She was standing on the yellowed carpet at the door, with old furniture placed in a mess behind her.
The light strip has been used for a long time. Because of the lowest electricity bill, the light is almost non-existent. The scattered light just happens to fall on the girl's golden hair, giving her a hazy and sacred feeling.
Si Jue locked the door gently. The slums always had sufficient anti-theft measures, but the ordinary sound at this moment filled his mind with random thoughts.
I used to think that home was just a place to live and sleep.
But when the girl he liked, Lilith, stood in the room, he felt that everything became too cramped.
Lilith should live in a magnificent palace with countless servants. He is willing to be the most inconspicuous one, as long as he can stay by her side.
Instead of having to consider where to stay like now,
He watched the girl carefully avoid the damaged wooden floor, and gently picked up a familiar piece of clothing half-draped on the bed with her fingertips.
"No place to sit... Hmm? This seems..."
Is it her clothes?
Lilith looked at Si Jue curiously. The silver-haired boy finally came to his senses and saw clearly what she was holding in her hand, and his face turned red instantly.
