12: save2 Forgiveness Is a Beautiful Thing
Before leaving, looking at her exhausted childhood friend, Lu Lele muttered to herself in a low voice:
"Did I play a bit too much..."
She felt a trace of guilt, feeling a bit sorry for Liu Lili.
However, this emotion was quickly thrown aside by Lu Lele.
Although forcing her childhood friend to endure the toys all night was indeed excessive, since she was currently playing the role of a yandere, there was no need to regret what she had done.
That was merely to punish Liu Lili for her equally excessive remarks.
She was the one who wasn't behaving herself. Lu Lele chose to punish her because of her deep love for her, to make her understand that she must listen to her words and not say those things that made Lu Lele angry and sad.
No need for guilt, no need for self-blame.
What was done was done. Let's just end this attempt happily and thoroughly as a yandere from start to finish.
And just as Lu Lele made this decision, she discovered that her Acting Value rose a bit further with this decision, having already broken through 90%.
Successfully controlling Liu Lili last night and doing those things to her caused Lu Lele's Acting Value to skyrocket. Now, she was only one step away from reaching 100% Acting Value for the first time and obtaining the opportunity to save her game.
Watching the rising Acting Value, Lu Lele gained a new understanding of yanderes.
Yanderes rarely regret what they have done. Even if it really hurts the person they love, a yandere can deftly resolve it in the name of "love."
And a yandere's love is crazy and twisted. Just like Lu Lele's love for Liu Lili, she would not stop until she completely possessed the other person. During this process, no matter how excessive or even illegal the acts were, Lu Lele believed they were serving the beautiful future and the complete possession of Liu Lili.
So the saying "cherish life and stay away from yanderes" is not without basis.
Lu Lele silently noted these realizations in her heart, then hummed a little tune and hopped toward the kitchen, deciding to personally cook breakfast for Liu Lili, making the food Liu Lili liked to eat.
Lu Lele had never been so happy. For her, being able to personally cook breakfast for the person she loved was something that could demonstrate her love for Liu Lili, just like kidnapping Liu Lili and punishing Liu Lili.
A yandere certainly wouldn't only do excessive things to the person they love. Although Lu Lele's love was indeed twisted, it was also sincere. She deeply loved Liu Lili and was willing to give for her, giving her the best things in her mind.
For example, the omurice she made herself.
Beat the eggs, add starch and salt and mix well. Heat the oil in the pan, wipe away the excess oil, then pour the egg liquid into the pan gently and evenly. When the egg skin formed a golden yellow circle, place the fried rice in the middle of the egg skin, then quickly fold the four corners of the egg skin to secure it, place it in a round plate, and draw a perfect red heart on the surface of the omurice with ketchup.
Lu Lele looked at the finished product and revealed a satisfied smile.
Long-term living alone had made Lu Lele learn to cook early, and she was very skilled. Especially the omurice that Liu Lili loved to eat; she could make it just by relying on her memory.
As for ordering takeout and such, it was purely because the usual Lu Lele was lazy, and she felt that preparing ingredients was troublesome.
Lu Lele carried the omurice filled with her love and a glass of warmed milk, walking toward the room where Liu Lili was.
Lu Lele really hoped her culinary skills would receive Liu Lili's recognition and praise, but Lu Lele also understood in her heart that this was mostly impossible. Whether Liu Lili would be willing to eat it was still an unknown matter.
For some reason, she unconsciously thought of the past.
If it were the Lu Lele from before transmigrating who was playing yandere galgames, she would definitely choose the honest person's options, like refusing to eat the breakfast or treating the yandere's love with disdain. Then she would successfully anger the yandere and perfectly welcome a Bad Ending.
Lu Lele decided to be a bit more tolerant toward Liu Lili. Even if Liu Lili's attitude appeared very resistant, she wouldn't get angry. She would treat her childhood friend gently and tenderly.
This did not conflict with playing a possessive-type yandere. Liu Lili was already in the palm of Lu Lele's hand. Being tolerant of her instead reflected Lu Lele's love.
However, as Lu Lele walked halfway, she suddenly remembered a very serious matter.
That was that she seemed to have forgotten that Liu Lili should be resting right now, and perhaps had just fallen asleep not long ago.
But this matter did not delay Lu Lele's progress.
So what if Liu Lili was asleep? She just needed to wake her up.
If the omurice filled with her love, which she had worked so hard to make, got cold, that would be something Lu Lele could not accept.
Lu Lele originally thought she would see Liu Lili who was sleeping soundly.
As a result, after pushing the door open, she saw Liu Lili who had gotten out of bed, and Liu Lili's panicked eyes that were looking right at her.
Liu Lili was actually using the edge of a corner on the bedside table to saw against the rope tied between the handcuffs and the bed beam. She seemed to be using a lot of force, and her face was covered in beads of sweat.
That rope was an insurance measure Lu Lele took to limit Liu Lili's range of activity, but Lu Lele didn't feel that Liu Lili could escape, so she chose a rope bought at an adult toy store. It wasn't very tough.
Fortunately, Lu Lele had handcuffed Liu Lili behind her back, making this action very difficult. Otherwise, Liu Lili might have already cut through the rope by now.
Liu Lili obviously didn't expect Lu Lele to suddenly come in at all. She shivered in fright, then stared blankly at Lu Lele.
"Now then, Lili..."
The happiness overflowing on Lu Lele's face was completely replaced by disappointment and anger:
"You, do you want to leave me?"
"..."
Liu Lili did not speak.
Liu Lili looked like her physical strength had long been exhausted. What was supporting her now was only the belief of wanting to escape.
Seeing that the escape attempt had been exposed, Liu Lili revealed an incredibly sad look. Then, as if resigning herself to fate, she lowered her head. Her body went soft, and she collapsed on the ground, closing her eyes.
Last night, Lu Lele had done that kind of thing to her just because of a few words. Liu Lili now had reason to believe that what awaited her was a punishment filled with Lu Lele's anger. She didn't even dare to imagine it.
Sad tears flowed down Liu Lili's cheeks. Until now, Liu Lili still couldn't figure out how her closest person could imprison her and then do that kind of excessive thing to her. It was like the most terrible nightmare, and with no end in sight.
But after a long time, the storm that Liu Lili had predicted did not descend.
A gentle wiping sensation suddenly came on her cheek. Liu Lili opened her eyes and found that Lu Lele was using a handkerchief to help her wipe away the flowing tears.
"Lili, I can forgive you."
Lu Lele didn't look very happy, but she still said earnestly in front of her:
"On the condition that you must eat the breakfast I prepared for you properly, and then rest well."
Liu Lili didn't expect that Lu Lele would actually say this. She froze for a few seconds, then said with a low, hoarse voice:
"How can I eat like this?"
"Of course, I'll feed you."
Lu Lele said it as a matter of course, then revealed a gentle smile to Liu Lili.
