Chapter 15 Like a Koala
The sound of conversation reached Lilith's ears, who had excellent hearing. She leaned against the wall, and the dim light from the ceiling could not fall on her.
"What? Was the explosion at the orphanage a conspiracy against us? Someone's trying to kill me? Who are the other mother and daughter? What information have you found out?"
Lady Katrin asked eagerly, but the Duke just shook his head.
"I'm not sure. Anyway, everything happened perfectly. No one was hurt, but all the data at the orphanage was destroyed. When I rushed over, you were unconscious, and Lilith was in her cradle. That's why I took you both with me."
"Go get an appraisal immediately! If Lilith isn't my child, then where is my daughter? I must find her. Maybe she inherited our gift and will be an excellent guide."
"Identification requires an application, which may take a long time..."
Lilith didn't listen to the rest. The bathroom door was already open. She finally picked out a simple silk robe from the pile of flashy pajamas next door. When she turned back to the bedroom, Shen Jiaxu was drying his hair.
The whitish overhead light fell appropriately on his body, which was only wrapped in a bath towel. His thin figure was actually covered with thin muscles. Tiny water droplets slid down his well-defined body and sank into the white towel from his back.
When Lilith walked over, Shen Jiaxu leaned his hands on the sink, letting the warm breeze blow on him. A pair of gentle chestnut eyes looked over.
Late at night, in the bathroom, a handsome man wrapped only in a bath towel. Even in such a dangerous game, Lilith's eyes were inevitably dazed for a moment. It was the first time she had seen such a beautiful body with her own eyes, more perfect than the sculptures in art class.
She blinked her eyes, and before her thoughts slipped into an uncontrollable abyss, she handed the thing in her hand over.
"Here, clothes."
You’d better put it on quickly and don’t look like a vixen. No, Shen Jiaxu’s spirit body seems to be a white fox?
In short, this vivid appearance should be used to seduce the heroine. She doesn't want the story to end with her eyes gouged out just because she took a look at the hero's figure.
Their fingertips touched and separated. Shen Jiaxu's body temperature was slightly higher than hers. The subtle temperature difference made Lilith shake her hand, as if trying to avoid him.
Shen Jiaxu's eyes darkened, and he spoke in a self-deprecating tone,
"You still hate me so much that you feel disgusted even by touching me? If that's the case, why did you help me just now? Did you feel sorry for me? Or was it just a spur of the moment thing?"
Those usually gentle eyes suddenly became confused, and the alarm immediately sounded in Lilith's mind. As expected, the yandere was about to become abnormal, right?
"I can't touch you, you're the heroine... Anyway, I know you really want to divorce me, so just rest assured. Soon, your wish will come true."
Although she couldn't directly tell him her plan now, after all, the other party wouldn't believe it.
But who would have thought that after hearing this, the anger in Shen Jiaxu's eyes would become even more violent.
"Divorce? Do you really want to abandon me? Are you tired of playing with me now? You know very well that if I lose my identity as a member of the Katrin family and return to the Welland family, I will probably face..."
"I know."
Someone will save you anyway, so don't worry about it, okay?
Lilith added in her heart that after all, once they knew that the heroine Alice was the real daughter, they would definitely try every means to cut off their relationship with her.
What she had to do was to find an opportunity to reduce the disgust of the male protagonists before her identity was revealed, and then find an opportunity to leave the central star.
Lilith covered her head, looking unwilling to communicate. Not long after, she suddenly lifted the quilt and looked at someone standing beside her.
"Aren't you going to sleep yet?"
"Aren't you going to let me stand all night?"
“When did I…”
Damn it, in order to please his parents and because he hated Shen Jiaxu, the original owner really made him stand in the room every time he came home. What kind of torture is this?
Lilith sat up angrily.
"I already told you I won't hurt you again. I'll give you half of the bed. No snoring or moving around. I'm a light sleeper."
After that, Lilith turned off the lights, and the whole room was dark. But for the sentinels, such darkness was nothing.
Shen Jiaxu looked at Lilith's back and couldn't understand what she was trying to do. From the day Si Jue got into trouble, his "wife" seemed to have become a different person.
The girl had her back to him, the bed sheet covering her exquisitely shaped body, and her back was exposed to Shen Jiaxu without reservation. He had been tortured for too long and had thought about how to kill Lilith countless times, but he could not escape the fate of both of them perishing.
He would have another chance, and there was no need to dirty his hands. Lilith was only a D-level guide, and it was normal for her to get injured or even die during combat training.
The military academy exchange meeting between the Federation and the Empire was about to begin. As the student union president, he could manipulate the candidates for registration. Once confirmed, Her Majesty the Queen would absolutely not allow any changes. At that time, even Lilith, the daughter of a Duke, would absolutely not be able to refuse.
Although it might arouse some suspicion, it doesn't matter. His image outside has always been very good. He can just say that it was Lilith who signed up.
The bed was half sunken, and the sheets were filled with the warmth of another person. Shen Jiaxu originally thought that he would not be able to adapt, but in the lingering light fragrance, his breathing became smoother and he fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.
After he fell asleep, Lilith quietly opened her eyes. Shen Jiaxu had been staring at her back like a ghost, and she almost broke out in a cold sweat.
She hadn't had a good night's sleep since she traveled through time. Yesterday, Xie Huan broke into her room in the middle of the night, causing her to have dark circles under her eyes. Today, she had a whole day of confusing classes. She couldn't understand what was going on, but she didn't want to give up the opportunity to learn.
She will eventually leave here. The courses in the military academy are very important to her and may be useful on the road to escape.
There is no way to reach a safe ending by relying solely on lies and assists. Lilith knows that in order to grow, she needs something else. The upcoming military academy exchange meeting is an important plot point that she must grasp.
As for now, she needed to conserve her energy. Even though Shen Jiaxu was sleeping next to her and the people around her were dangerous, the physiological sleepiness still made Lilith slowly close her eyes.
She had lived alone for too long and had never slept with anyone, so naturally she didn't know that her sleeping posture was not that good. When Shen Jiaxu woke up, she saw the blonde girl wrapped around her like a koala.
