40: save4 Illusory Peace
Only after her sister left did Lu Lele finally let out a sigh of relief.
Coming back to her senses, Lu Lele realized her back was soaked, drenched in nervous sweat.
It must be said, her cheap older sister was much harder to deal with than imagined. As a true elite member of society, Lu Yanyan completely outclassed Lu Lele in both intelligence and skill. Lu Lele's little schemes were utterly exposed. In just one day, everything except the secret of the basement had been uncovered by Lu Yanyan.
However, through this brief interaction and conversation with her sister, Lu Lele felt that Lu Yanyan was actually quite good to her.
Although her expression and tone were always icy like a big block of ice, the attitude conveyed in her words was completely the opposite. One could even say she was quite indulgent toward Lu Lele.
While chatting with her biological older sister, Lu Lele could clearly feel Lu Yanyan's tolerance toward her, or even indulgence.
Even knowing Lu Lele was fooling around at home, engaging in SM yuri play with a classmate, Lu Yanyan wasn't angry. She only told Lu Lele not to harm her classmates and to call her if she wanted to play something exciting.
As for how she fooled around, Lu Yanyan didn't care, as long as it didn't get serious enough to involve parents.
Lu Yanyan was angry because involving parents affected her research project, and because Lu Lele hid things from her and ultimately caused trouble, not because Lu Lele tried forbidden fruit early, bought a bunch of novelty items, and played with a classmate.
Her cheap older sister... was really peculiar.
Lu Lele couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Especially her focus, which was completely different from what Lu Lele had imagined.
After sighing, Lu Lele collapsed onto the sofa, feeling incredibly relaxed, and also a bit lightheaded, filled with an unreal, dreamlike sensation.
Everything... was over?
The police and her sister... were just brushed off like that?
Lu Lele hadn't expected her original "lying low" plan to go so smoothly.
Although there were twists and turns, Lu Lele still withstood the pressure, excellently playing the role of a girl 'worried and saddened by her best friend's disappearance.' If she could score her acting, Lu Lele would give herself full marks.
Her acting talent was quite high. Lu Lele thought proudly to herself.
However, the relaxed Lu Lele didn't notice that although she had accomplished so much, her possessive type yandere Acting Value remained stuck at 99%. No new save point had been established. The latest save was still from before she and Liu Lili "ground tofu" last night.
After resting on the sofa for a while, Lu Lele got up full of energy. The earlier fatigue and tension were completely swept away.
Now, it was time to visit her most beloved lover.
Humming a little tune, Lu Lele eagerly jogged toward the basement location.
Trigger the mechanism, enter the basement.
Lu Lele saw her beloved Liu Lili.
The latter was squatting in front of the basin, engaged in some, well, normal human metabolic activities.
The sound of Lu Lele entering caught Liu Lili's attention. Liu Lili turned her head.
Liu Lili also saw Lu Lele.
The situation suddenly became awkward.
"..."
Lu Lele didn't have any strange fetish for watching Liu Lili use the toilet. She turned her head away and said somewhat awkwardly:
"Ahem, seems I came at a bad time?"
"No, Lele, you came at just the right time."
For some reason, Liu Lili's voice was full of resentment:
"You only brought me a basin, no toilet paper."
Only then did Lu Lele realize that in the morning rush, she had forgotten to prepare tissues for Liu Lili. Feeling quite embarrassed, she scratched her head and said:
"Ahahaha, is that so... Lili, wait a moment, I'll get it for you right away."
Over ten minutes later.
Lu Lele cleaned the basement a bit, made a cup of instant noodles for Liu Lili, then sat beside her, holding her face as she watched Liu Lili eat.
An indescribable pleasure and happiness filled Lu Lele's heart at this moment. It seemed watching Liu Lili eat was the sole meaning of her life.
No matter what difficulties she experienced, what price she paid, as long as she saw her lover's face, saw her slurping down cup noodles heartily, everything was worth it.
Upon closer observation, Lu Lele found that Liu Lili, whom she hadn't seen for a day, seemed quite spirited. She ate her meal with great relish. The manga Lu Lele had left nearby showed signs of being flipped through. Moreover, while cleaning up earlier, Lu Lele discovered all the snacks she had prepared for Liu Lili in the morning had been completely eaten.
Lu Lele knew Liu Lili was a very realistic girl with a strong spirit, not easily defeated. Being locked in the basement for a day theoretically shouldn't cause any issues. Still, after Liu Lili finished her cup noodles, Lu Lele asked with concern:
"So? Is it comfortable living here? Did you have a happy day today? Did you miss me?"
"Lele..."
Liu Lili didn't answer Lu Lele's questions. Instead, she asked:
"The teacher and parents didn't find out?"
Liu Lili seemed very concerned about the answer to this question.
Lu Lele knew what Liu Lili was thinking, but she wasn't angry. She just smiled slightly:
"No, it went very smoothly~ The homeroom teacher called the police, but the officer only asked a few questions and left~"
"..."
Liu Lili's eyes lowered. Little sparks of hope shattered into empty voids. She said:
"Is that so."
But Liu Lili quickly raised her head again. With a "the pot's already broken" kind of attitude, in a trembling, seductive voice, she said eagerly:
"In that case, Lele, let's do something fun~"
After saying that, without waiting for Lu Lele's reaction, Liu Lili began taking off her clothes.
They say women are like wolves at thirty and tigers at forty, but Liu Lili was only in second year junior high! Was she already this thirsty?
As a yandere, Lu Lele naturally couldn't back down. Her childhood friend drew her sword, so she had to meet it.
As the saying goes, when two meet on a narrow path, the brave one wins.
This time, Lu Lele tried hard to be the one on top.
But she sadly failed.
Lu Lele felt very helpless.
Why, even after kidnapping Liu Lili and locking her in the basement, did she still end up being [censored] into meowing by the latter?
This didn't match the expected situation at all, damn it!
Damn this sensitive constitution.
Damn that Strange God.
In her heart, Lu Lele cursed the Strange God's entire family, over and over.
...
...
Peaceful days like this lasted about three days.
Lu Lele took care of Liu Lili's needs every morning, then went to school. In the afternoon, she returned home to accompany the seemingly addicted Liu Lili, doing this and that strange thing together.
Everything was so peaceful, so peaceful that Lu Lele thought the matter of Liu Lili's disappearance was completely over.
But reality often doesn't go as one wishes.
In places unknown to Lu Lele, danger was quietly approaching.
