34: save4 Moonlight in the Basement
The fact of being kidnapped and taken home by Lu Lele wasn't actually terrifying in itself.
Liu Lili knew that Lu Lele wasn't a particularly meticulous person. She always acted on impulse, leaving this or that opening. As long as she could grasp one or two, there would be a chance to escape.
But if Lu Lele suddenly completed a super evolution, mending this weakness, that would be different.
What Liu Lili would face would be upgraded from a piece of fragile glass to a wall, a thick concrete wall that might have weaknesses, but whose strength far exceeded Liu Lili's frail power to break through.
In the end, Liu Lili could only conclude, the current Lu Lele was actually no longer the girl she knew, who acted solely on impulse.
The current Lu Lele was clearly much smarter and more attentive than before, even able to discern from small details that Liu Lili wasn't sincerely compliant.
Although Liu Lili didn't understand why Lu Lele had changed so drastically in such a short time, this change, combined with her current predicament, made Liu Lili sadly realize that trying to escape under Lu Lele's control had become almost impossible.
Liu Lili sighed in her heart, then had no choice but to make a difficult decision.
If that's the case, why not truly give up on thoughts of escape and simply lie flat and give up?
Abandon actively seeking opportunities to escape, and instead pin hopes only on Lu Lele's actions being discovered by the school and parents, thereby gaining rescue.
Maybe Lu Lele's kidnapping would be exposed by Monday. Liu Lili thought optimistically.
Before that, Liu Lili decided to submit to reality, obediently listen to Lu Lele, and thus receive gentle treatment from her "lover."
The methods Lu Lele had used earlier left an extremely deep impression on Liu Lili. She absolutely did not want to experience that again, absolutely, absolutely not.
When the door to the future was tightly locked, no longer letting in any light of hope, Lu Lele would choose to try prying it open over and over, one method failing then switching to another. Liu Lili, on the other hand, would choose to silently turn and walk away after a few attempts, cutting her losses.
Only because, since childhood, the world before Liu Lili had been an utterly realistic one.
If she argued with her younger brother, no matter the reason, she would be scolded by their parents, so she had to give in to her brother.
If her school uniform tore during exercise, she couldn't get a new one because she only had one set, so she had to take good care of her clothes and also learn to sew with needle and thread. Otherwise, if an accident happened, she could only embarrass herself in front of the whole class.
She had noticed Lu Lele's feelings for her long ago and also deeply liked Lu Lele herself. But her parents definitely wouldn't agree, and she couldn't attend the next high school or the next university with Lu Lele, so she could only reject Lu Lele's confession.
Things like this were just too many in Liu Lili's life.
The real world taught Liu Lili realism. Life was neither gentle nor cruel, but a muddy little path pieced together from a series of options one had to compromise on, leading to a predetermined, uninteresting future.
Liu Lili sometimes truly envied Lu Lele, envied her free spirited imagination and daring actions, envied that she wasn't constrained by reality, even envied that she dared to kidnap her.
She... was really brave.
In order to be together forever, she could cast aside such a bright future without hesitation and boldly take her home.
This isn't to say Liu Lili forgot the excessive things Lu Lele did to her. Liu Lili remembered, and remembered deeply. In her heart, Liu Lili wouldn't forgive Lu Lele's actions.
But Liu Lili could also genuinely feel Lu Lele's love for her.
Crazy and twisted, yet so profound, so deep in the bones, like the sickly smile at the corner of Lu Lele's mouth when she held her face and looked at her. It was the truest reflection of Lu Lele's affection.
If this kind of love... could really come true...
Liu Lili felt a wave of dizziness just from thinking about it a little.
It was a peculiar feeling.
Like reading a fairy tale. Prince and Princess always loved each other, with no cause or reason. The ending was always happiness, also needing no cause or reason.
But reason then pulled Liu Lili back to reality.
...No, how could that be possible?
Reality was always reality. Fairy tales were just fairy tales. In reality, even if there was love without reason, there were also laws and rules that needed no reason.
Lu Lele's future... had already been determined the moment she decided to kidnap her.
And from Lu Lele's behavior, this girl still hadn't realized this at all, still happy, still blissful.
Still, falling into an abyss without knowing it.
But, even so...
Even so.
Liu Lili looked at Lu Lele's beautiful face, which was smiling faintly at her. The strange emotion in her heart reached its peak at this moment.
At least, before everything ends, let's treat all of this now as a dream for a while.
Since it's a dream, there's no need to worry about this and that.
Let's be willful for once, after a long time.
No longer lost in agonizing over the reality of Lu Lele kidnapping her, no longer obsessed with blaming Lu Lele for her excessive actions.
Instead, let's be with Lu Lele, in this little basement, and fully enjoy the pleasure brought by affection.
Perhaps this is self indulgence, perhaps this is giving up on oneself.
Even if it's brief, at least, this will be a precious experience never to be repeated in life.
"Hey... Lele."
Liu Lili suddenly brought her face close to Lu Lele's.
Lu Lele was taken aback and asked:
"Hmm? What's up?"
Liu Lili gave Lu Lele an inexplicable smile:
"Can we... kiss?"
And at the same time, Lu Lele's Acting Value unknowingly reached its peak once again.
Just as Lu Lele was still surprised by Liu Lili's sudden initiative, a new save point had already been established.
Liu Lili's proactive behavior greatly surprised Lu Lele.
However, as a yandere, facing such a request from her beloved, she naturally wouldn't retreat, responding:
"...Of course. But Lili, you need to think this through..."
Before Lu Lele could finish speaking, Liu Lili almost impatiently pressed her lips against hers.
Lu Lele responded. Although somewhat bewildered, kissing Liu Lili made her feel very happy.
But soon, Lu Lele discovered Liu Lili's motives weren't pure.
Liu Lili wasn't just asking for a kiss. She desired more.
Soon, Liu Lili made a new move.
From one new move to another.
Somehow, the clothes on both of them had been removed and casually thrown aside.
Liu Lili's clothes lay atop Lu Lele's, just like their positions now.
The small basement had no moonlight.
The alluring blushes on the two young girls' faces were the only light shining in the room at this moment.
