93: true end An Opportunity
After Liu Lili sat on the bike, Lu Lele put a helmet on her as well, skillfully straddled the electric scooter, then had Liu Lili hug her waist. She twisted the right handle controller and started the vehicle.
Although it was an electric scooter, Lu Lele rode it with the aggressive feel of a motorcycle.
The slightly cool night breeze brushed against Liu Lili's cheeks. Feeling the wind whistling past and looking at the starry night sky, a feeling difficult to describe arose in Liu Lili.
It was a feeling Liu Lili had never experienced before. Her heartbeat unconsciously began to accelerate, and her heart started to burn with heat.
Although Liu Lili felt that this feeling seemed a bit dangerous.
However, it was so tempting.
At three in the morning, a single phone call, and Lu Lele would ride an electric scooter to pick up her aggrieved self and take her home, without a single complaint.
This kind of scene... seemed to only appear in romance manga.
Come to think of it, Lu Lele had also confessed to her before, but was rejected.
Yet, even so, Lu Lele was still willing to come personally to pick her up at this hour.
This person... was unexpectedly reliable.
Liu Lili hugged Lu Lele's waist, leaning against Lu Lele's back, smelling the fresh lavender scent on Lu Lele's body.
It smelled so good...
It inexplicably put her at ease.
The heat in Liu Lili's heart was gradually smoothed out by the scent of lavender, eventually transforming into warmth and drowsiness.
Not long after, Liu Lili fell asleep hugging Lu Lele's waist on the electric scooter.
When she woke up, she found herself lying in a clean bedroom. The warm sunlight was just falling to the position below her mouth.
And Lu Lele, wearing a kitchen apron, was standing right beside her.
"Lili, good morning."
Lu Lele greeted her childhood sweetheart with a smile, her tone very gentle:
"Time to get up, Lili. The sun is already high."
Liu Lili rubbed her eyes and asked:
"What time is it?"
"Probably around eleven." Lu Lele answered.
Hearing this, Liu Lili instantly perked up. She threw off the quilt and sat up like a carp, asking:
"Ah! I actually slept that long! Lele, did my parents call?"
Lu Lele nodded and said:
"Yes, I answered for you. I said that after you finished helping your aunt last night, you accepted my invitation to sleep at my house. I didn't say anything else. They didn't express much, just said you should come back after you wake up."
Liu Lili breathed a sigh of relief. She made a move to grab her schoolbag, saying:
"That is really embarrassing... Lele, I will go back now..."
Before Liu Lili could finish, Lu Lele interrupted her:
"Hey, don't be in such a rush. Lili, I prepared a sumptuous breakfast. It is okay to eat before you go, right?"
"..."
Liu Lili clearly hesitated for a moment, but her stomach quickly betrayed her, letting out a growling sound.
Liu Lili did not insist, saying:
"Alright, then I will leave after eating."
At the dining table, Liu Lili brought up the events of last night, appearing very embarrassed:
"Lele, last night was really too much trouble for you..."
Lu Lele smiled, appearing unconcerned:
"It is nothing much. However, Lili, you do owe me a favor now."
Liu Lili lowered her head, somewhat twistingly saying in a small voice:
"Lele, you also know that I don't like owing others... Hey, Lele, is there anything I can do for you? I want to repay you for what you did for me yesterday."
"Really?"
Lu Lele raised her eyebrows, then smiled. She asked, seemingly very casually:
"Then, Lili, can you give me a chance to pursue you?"
Liu Lili paused for a moment, subconsciously shook her head, and said:
"No. It is impossible between us..."
Just like in those previous save files, Liu Lili listed a bunch of reasons why it was impossible to be with Lu Lele.
This time, Lu Lele did not avoid the heavy parts or play tricks. Instead, starting from every single point Liu Lili was worried about, she earnestly gave corresponding solutions one by one. And she chose methods that involved the least trouble, were gentle, and not radical.
Liu Lili listened from the side, her eyes growing wider the more she heard, because she never could have imagined that Lu Lele could actually be so detailed and so rigorous.
For all her worries, Lu Lele gave corresponding answers, and every single one was flawless, leaving Liu Lili with nothing to say.
For example, when Liu Lili said her parents wouldn't let her continue to the high school department, Lu Lele expressed that once they became true lovers, Lu Lele would find a way to persuade Liu Lili's parents to let Liu Lili continue to attend high school and university with her.
And the method and logic of persuasion were also very simple. After graduating from university, one would earn much more money, easily exceeding the costs of attending college. This was a conclusion that could be reached through a few simple calculations.
Liu Lili could also work part-time during holidays to earn tuition. The actual expenses weren't that huge.
This account was easy to calculate clearly.
Moreover, Lu Lele could use some tricks when persuading them, for instance saying she had connections and could guarantee Liu Lili could find a good job after graduation, to make them tempted.
As for Liu Lili's other major worry, that her parents wouldn't approve of a relationship between girls, Lu Lele also gave an answer:
"This problem is actually very easy to solve. As for my relatives, you don't need to worry, Lili. They will agree. As for your side, it is okay as long as we drag it out until college. Once you become excellent enough after starting college, becoming a strong person they cannot control or dominate, they will naturally change their attitude toward you. Problems like this simply won't exist."
"Besides, once they know you will become the lover of an excellent person like me who is destined to become a company head, your parents will definitely change their minds."
"Narcissist."
Liu Lili muttered a complaint, but when she carefully thought about Lu Lele's words, she realized it was indeed the truth.
If she wasn't bluffed by her parents' current attitude, the constraints she received after graduating college and starting work would be much less.
Because by then, Liu Lili would definitely be financially independent. Her parents would change from giving money to asking for money. It was normal for their attitude to change.
And an excellent partner was indeed a huge plus. If Lu Lele really became the head of some company, then without a doubt, Liu Lili's parents would agree to Liu Lili being with Lu Lele.
At a time like this, gender was completely unimportant.
The reasons and plans Lu Lele gave were so simple and easy to understand that all of Liu Lili's worries turned to bubbles.
"Lili, I know you just found many reasons. I believe perhaps there are indeed realistic reasons among them, but maybe there are also invisible reasons like your inner resistance to me."
Lu Lele spoke sincerely, her eyes full of shining light:
"Regardless, I must admit that I have fallen deeply in love with you, and I look forward to your answer."
"However, Lili, remember, you live for yourself. I understand this too. Therefore, no matter what choice you make, I will not be angry. Do not worry. Just boldly give me a response."
"So, please allow me to ask once more."
Lu Lele smiled brilliantly under the sunlight and extended her hand to Liu Lili:
"Lili, can you give me a chance to pursue you, and become my lover?"
