23: save3 Lu Lele's Desperate Question
And at this very moment, Lu Lele's Acting Value reached 100% again.
A new save point was established.
Undoubtedly, the complete collapse of Liu Lili's mentality was the marker for this save point. Lu Lele successfully tore through Liu Lili's disguise, made Liu Lili actively apologize for the phrase "I don't like you anymore," and gradually took complete control of Liu Lili's body and mind, guiding her toward evolution into an obedient possession.
Although, the cause of all this was simply because Lu Lele had been obsessed with serious business and forgotten about Liu Lili.
Accompanying the establishment of the new save point, a professional term flickered in Lu Lele's mind. Stockholm Syndrome, or the captor's bond, referred to a condition where a crime victim develops feelings for the perpetrator, sometimes even helping them.
Of course, between Liu Lili and Lu Lele, there was originally a deep emotional connection. Liu Lili even liked Lu Lele to begin with. Therefore, in this situation, the captor's bond had a more stable foundation, and the effect it could achieve was completely different.
However, in her heart, Lu Lele still maintained cautious skepticism regarding Liu Lili's series of actions. She didn't fully believe that Liu Lili had truly become an obedient pet she could manipulate at will.
Perhaps the current Liu Lili was still just acting. Acting pitiful and incomparably obedient was merely to gain Lu Lele's trust, causing Lu Lele to lower her guard and stop "punishing" her, so she wouldn't be subjected to torture.
In this way, although Liu Lili lost her dignity, she also obtained what she wanted: gentle treatment, improved living conditions, and an opportunity to escape.
Based on Lu Lele's understanding of Liu Lili, according to Liu Lili's personality, enduring hardship for revenge was very likely something she would do. Liu Lili wasn't an existence who could be easily defeated.
Even if the current Liu Lili had seemingly submitted to Lu Lele on the surface, what she was thinking deep down was not certain yet. However, looking at her childhood friend leaning softly in her arms and sobbing, Lu Lele still felt a kind of joy from the bottom of her heart.
The person she liked was right in her embrace. There was nothing more delightful than this.
Lu Lele didn't know exactly what Liu Lili was thinking at this moment. However, as a yandere who deeply loved the other party, Lu Lele was still willing to believe Liu Lili's words.
Those promises to be obedient, and the declaration of "I love you too."
Even if she harbored suspicion, she would still be willing to believe.
Because she was the person Lu Lele loved most, the sweet poison Lu Lele enjoyed like tasty food, the only driving force for Lu Lele to keep living.
Sometimes, a yandere's thinking was just this simple.
She said she loves me, and promised to be obedient.
So, I will believe her, until she violates her oath.
Of course, the price of violating an oath was heavy. The deeper the love, the harsher the punishment. But before that, I will believe every word she says. Not for any other reason, only because I love her. That is all.
Lu Lele hesitated for a moment, then made a bold move.
She took the handcuff key from her own pocket, then removed all restraint tools from Liu Lili's body.
Seeing this, Liu Lili froze for a moment and asked in surprise:
"Lele, you are..."
"A reward a well-behaved child deserves."
Lu Lele said it lightly, then smiled and extended a hand to Liu Lili:
"Lili, let's go take a bath together?"
Although Lu Lele liked Liu Lili no matter what, a fragrant, soft childhood friend would definitely feel more comfortable to hug.
It must be clarified that Lu Lele didn't have any strange fetishes about smells. The fact that Lu Lele could stay by the current Liu Lili's side didn't mean Lu Lele liked strange smells.
Besides, Liu Lili definitely wanted to take a good bath long ago.
Liu Lili didn't hesitate. She placed her hand on top, nodded obediently:
"Mm."
Lu Lele and Liu Lili walked hand in hand to the second floor of the villa. There was a dedicated large bathroom there, complete with various facilities, and it had a super large bathtub that could fit three people bathing together.
After entering, Lu Lele said to Liu Lili:
"You go fill the bathtub with hot water first, and rinse your body a bit with the shower head. I'll go tidy up your room."
After saying that, Lu Lele didn't care about Liu Lili's reaction and left straight away.
The reason Lu Lele dared to do this was naturally because she had a save point. Even if she really crashed and burned, she could load the file and try again, and the save point was very close, so it wouldn't waste much energy.
At the same time, Lu Lele also wanted to see what choice Liu Lili would make in the absence of restraints. Would she obediently stay, or seize this opportunity to slip away directly?
This was a desperate question Lu Lele posed for Liu Lili. Lu Lele knew that based on Liu Lili's personality, she most likely wouldn't run away, but she just wanted to try it out, to see exactly what choice Liu Lili would make.
Just like those seemingly stupid questions girls in love ask their partners. They might know the answer, but they just want to hear their partners say it personally, thereby obtaining a strange satisfaction.
At this moment, Lu Lele held the same psychology. She was both nervous and excited, looking forward to the answer paper Liu Lili handed to her.
Accompanying Lu Lele's departure, Liu Lili suddenly felt a bit at a loss.
There were no restraints anymore.
Lu Lele didn't even lock the bathroom door. The room door was wide open. As long as Liu Lili lifted her feet, she could leave this room.
However, Liu Lili also understood that this was most likely Lu Lele's test. Even if she could leave the room, she probably couldn't get out of the house.
If she ran away and was discovered by Lu Lele, the consequences would undoubtedly be very serious.
Liu Lili didn't know exactly what method Lu Lele would use to punish her. It might be the exhibition play again, or it might be even crueler means.
Therefore, only an idiot would choose to escape at a time like this.
What Liu Lili hoped for more was that what Lu Lele had done would be discovered by parents and teachers, thereby allowing her to be saved.
As long as she could make it through this weekend, Liu Lili didn't quite believe that Lu Lele could keep the fact that she was kidnapped a secret.
By then, everything should be over.
So, following Lu Lele's instructions, Liu Lili began to heat the water in the bathtub.
Afterwards, she took off her clothes and turned on the shower head switch, letting the hot water rinse her body.
This was definitely the most comfortable moment since Liu Lili was kidnapped by Lu Lele.
Feeling the flow of the water, looking at the red marks left on her wrists by the handcuffs, Liu Lili gradually calmed down.
The scene from just now replayed in her brain, like a small movie.
All of this... was definitely deliberately designed by Lu Lele.
Absolutely.
Such a long period of ignoring and leaving her alone must be Lu Lele's meticulous scheme, aimed at making her own emotions collapse and turning her into the "possession" Lu Lele wanted.
Liu Lili couldn't help but start to regret. The her just now wasn't calm at all and said many words that seemed incredibly shameful to her.
However, for some unknown reason, Liu Lili then recalled the sentence Lu Lele had just said.
[My love for you is as always, eternal and unchanging, just like a diamond.]
What a forced metaphor.
The essence of a diamond is nothing but carbon. The so-called eternity of a diamond is still incredibly tiny in the face of true time. In the end, it will all turn to fine powder.
Just like this farce. No matter how Lu Lele tormented herself, it would definitely end in the form of a tragedy.
But...
Thinking back to Lu Lele's appearance when she said that sentence, a layer of blush coated Liu Lili's cheeks before she knew it.
Why did a strange emotion rise in her heart when she heard that sentence
