45: save4 Liu Lili's Pansy
At this moment, Lu Lele understood what kind of treatment Liu Lili had once suffered at her hands.
She understood why Liu Lili had such and such stress reactions.
She finally understood the cruelty and self righteousness of a yandere.
Sometimes, people cannot understand the harm their actions cause to those around them.
Until the roles are reversed and they experience it personally.
Thinking that she had once treated such things as love for Liu Lili, Lu Lele felt a wave of nausea.
At this moment, Lu Lele hated the methods of a yandere as never before, hated her own actions.
But for some reason, Lu Lele's Acting Value didn't drop. It remained at the 99% level, and a new save point was not established.
At this moment, Lu Lele didn't know that this was the "mercy" of the Strange God, and also a precursor to reaching the finale.
Lu Yanyan seemed determined to make Lu Lele remember the mistake she had committed, striking heavily.
No matter how much Lu Lele begged for mercy, she wouldn't stop.
That was an afternoon Lu Lele was unwilling to recall.
It wasn't until Lu Lele's bottom was swollen and sobbing that Lu Yanyan stopped. She pulled Lu Lele into her arms, hesitated to place her hand on Lu Lele's head, but ultimately didn't stroke it down. Instead, she reached into her bag and took out a cigarette and lighter.
"My dear little sister, you should know I'm not very used to comforting others, but I also don't want to see you crying and wailing. So, let me tell you some good news."
Lu Yanyan lit another cigarette. Again, she didn't smoke it, just letting it burn.
In the mist of the cigarette smoke, Lu Yanyan gazed at her trembling, tear wiping sister in her arms with a gentle look, saying calmly:
"Liu Lili has already agreed to stay forever and not leave. That means, your wish has come true, my stupid little sister."
The name Liu Lili could always touch Lu Lele's heart in an instant. Lu Lele hurriedly asked:
"Sister, what... what did you say to Liu Lili?"
"I didn't say much. I just told her I resolved her worries about the future."
"Worries about the future?" Lu Lele asked.
"For a girl from a family background like hers, naturally only money can be the worry. I checked Liu Lili's parents' information. They are just ordinary factory workers, and they seem to owe quite a bit of external debt. I just communicated with them. Originally, they were acting as if they were dying because of Liu Lili's disappearance, but the moment they heard the amount I was willing to pay as compensation, they immediately switched to a respectful attitude."
As Lu Yanyan spoke, her tone was very peaceful, but Lu Lele still detected a slightly contemptuous attitude in Lu Yanyan's voice:
"Obviously, they don't care how they treated Lili, only how much money they can get from me. I actually didn't want to throw money at this kind of family, but to keep my word to your little lover, these external things can be lost."
Lu Yanyan stubbed out the cigarette in her hand, then cupped Lu Lele's face and said very seriously:
"Don't let there be a next time, otherwise, I won't necessarily come to help you again, my dear little sister."
After saying that, Lu Yanyan closed her eyes, pressed her cold lips over, and left a light kiss on Lu Lele's forehead.
"Treat Liu Lili well. Since you've gone this far, you must be responsible to her. If you dare bully her, I will let you experience what hell is. Do you understand?"
This was a blessing, and also a warning.
"Yes!"
Lu Lele nodded vigorously.
"Very good. Then, rest well now. I'll go cook dinner for the two of you."
Lu Yanyan's tone became a bit softer, and she got up and left.
Was this... completely resolving the trouble?
Realizing this fact, Lu Lele's mood, which had been low due to the discipline, rose up again.
Not for any other reason, but because this meant she could truly possess Liu Lili, and no longer had to worry about interference from school and the police.
Only her sister knew about this, but Lu Yanyan's attitude was clearly supportive. Her punishment stemmed from the trouble Lu Lele had caused her, not from the fact that Lu Lele liked Liu Lili itself.
Lu Lele felt like a tumbler. Even if pressed down hard, she would still climb back up. As long as there was a sliver of hope, she wouldn't give up her pursuit of Liu Lili. This was the sick, crazy obsession of a yandere.
Although the price for confessing the truth was being severely punished by her sister, looking at the result, it wasn't bad, even far exceeding Lu Lele's expectations.
Lu Yanyan already knew about this matter, and her choice was to help the criminal Lu Lele.
Lu Lele discovered that this cheap older sister of hers actually loved her very much, not as cold and distant as she thought in the past.
With her help, Lu Lele no longer needed to worry about anything.
Next, she just needed to spend infinite, endless time with Liu Lili until death, just as she originally envisioned.
Was this... the so called 'Perfect Ending'?
Lu Lele began to have such a fantasy.
If this could end this damn roleplaying game, then actually, it wasn't too bad.
...
...
How long has it passed...
Liu Lili didn't know clearly.
Repetitive days slipped by slowly from her fingertips. Days in the basement were so boring. Deprived of freedom and social interaction, the only things Liu Lili could do every day were watch TV, read manga, and wait for Lu Lele to come home from school.
Just like a concubine in ancient times waiting for the emperor's favor.
On weekends, Lu Lele would stay with Liu Lili the whole time, and also let Liu Lili out of the basement, allowing her to move freely in the villa.
Such a life repeated constantly. To be honest, it was very boring. Because Liu Lili's love for Lu Lele had already faded mostly due to those excessive events. Every time she was intimate with Lu Lele, she couldn't feel much joy, just completing self gratification using her body.
But every time she thought of her own family living a wealthy life, hope could burn in Liu Lili's eyes.
Although boring, it was meaningful after all.
Until this day, half a year later, Liu Lili saw a report about a drunk driving car accident on the TV news.
Liu Lili saw a strange car, luxurious and beautiful, but now reduced to fragments.
Beside the luxury car lay her parents and younger brother, wearing strange, beautiful clothes, also turned into fragments.
First shock, then incomprehension.
After understanding, she became dazed, as if what she saw was just a dream.
After confirming this wasn't a dream, Liu Lili let out the most unrestrained, craziest laugh of her life in the basement. She laughed at her own fate, laughed at her own cowardice, laughed at her own humbleness.
Liu Lili completely collapsed.
Almost without hesitation, Liu Lili took out a small cloth bundle from a hidden corner of the basement.
Inside was hidden a white pill, without a sugar coating.
It was something Lu Yanyan had secretly given her.
Along with this item was a calm sentence:
"Little sister Liu Lili, I know all this might be too cruel for you. If one day you really can't stand such a life anymore, just swallow this. You will welcome the end without any pain."
Looking at that white pill, Liu Lili remained silent, her eyes full of exhaustion.
There wasn't anything worth nostalgic about.
Everything was ruined.
Although Lu Lele treated her very well, and after being punished by Lu Yanyan, never did any excessive things to her again.
But so what?
The moment she thought about the fact that her life was destroyed by her, the anger and unwillingness surging from the bottom of her heart could completely suppress the remaining love for Lu Lele.
When she saw her family die in an accident, Liu Lili lost all reason to live.
"Goodbye."
The girl in the basement whispered to herself, leaving this final farewell. She silently sent the pill into her mouth.
Born humble, dying in obscurity.
This was the short story of the girl named Liu Lili, only this once.
