Chapter 400 Lillie's Reward
"Speaking of which..."
Acerola, hugging a cushion, asked, "Why did you suddenly decide to take Lillie to catch Pokémon, brother?"
"She's too weak," Li Luochen said.
"So direct..."
"It's a fact." He paused, then added, "And she needs to protect herself."
Acerola did not ask any further questions.
Asking is pointless.
"elder brother."
"Um?"
"Are you always this nice to girls?"
Li Luochen paused for a moment while changing his shoes, but didn't turn around: "Go write the report."
Acerola chuckled, buried her face in the cushions, and said nothing more.
After a while, Lillie changed her clothes.
As she walked down the stairs, her steps were lighter than usual, but she slowed down on the last few steps, as if she suddenly realized that she was walking too fast and needed to slow down.
Standing at the top of the stairs, Lillie pinched the hem of her skirt, tugged at it slightly, then let go, and looked up towards the doorway.
Hearing the noise, Li Luochen turned his head and looked at Lillie's outfit today, which made his eyes light up.
The white short-sleeved shirt with the Poké Ball logo was loose-fitting, and the neckline was just right, revealing a little bit of the collarbone.
Below was a pleated skirt, also white, the hem swaying a few centimeters above her knees, fluttering gently with every movement.
She was wearing a pair of white high-top shoes with neatly tied laces and bows whose wings were the same length.
The white stockings that reached past her knees covered her slender calves, tapering off to a shallow edge below the knees. The top of the stockings had a delicate lace pattern that was barely noticeable at first glance, but upon closer inspection, one could tell—hmm, very thoughtful.
Li Luochen couldn't help but take another look.
Then he looked away and went to look at the door frame.
The door frame isn't particularly attractive; the paint is smooth, the color is plain, and the workmanship is solid.
"This door frame is really a door frame..."
As he spoke, Li Luochen glanced at Lillie again.
He likes this white suit.
Ahem, it's not for any other reason than I just think white is pure and suits Lillie very well.
Lillie was naturally fair-skinned and pure-hearted.
Wearing white stockings, she looks like she stepped out of a sketchbook, with clean lines and not a single unnecessary stroke.
"Brother Luo Chen?"
Lillie's voice drifted over from the side, soft and tinged with uncertainty.
Li Luochen then realized that he had been standing there for quite a while.
He cleared his throat, looked away from his legs, and cleared his throat again to make sure his voice sounded normal.
"Ahem, let's go, I'll take you to Rongcheng University."
"Rongcheng University?" Lillie jogged a few steps to catch up with Li Luochen. "Are there Pokémon there?"
"Yes. There's a secret area in the school that's not strictly managed, and the offspring of those leader Pokémon are perfect for new trainers. I even caught one of my Pokémon there."
Li Luochen paused, glanced at Lillie, and asked, "Speaking of which, besides Nebula, have you ever caught any other Pokémon before?"
"No..." Lillie's voice trailed off.
"That's perfect." Li Luochen pressed the car key, and a black car in the distance beeped and its lights flashed twice. He walked over, opened the passenger door, looked back at her, and said, "Get in."
Originally, Li Luochen wanted to sit directly on the back of the fire-breathing dragon.
But that won't work.
Charizard is too flashy.
Given my alma mater's wariness of me, they probably won't let me go there.
hateful......
Is Li Luochen that kind of person?
He had long ago... oops, he'd never done anything like that!
Ah, the mountains in people's hearts!
Li Luochen shook his head before looking at Lillie.
Lillie paused for a moment, then ran to the passenger side, opened the door, and climbed into the car.
After settling in, she fastened her seatbelt, placed her hands on her knees, and sat up straight.
buzzing...
With the engine running, Li Luochen drove towards Rongcheng University.
Lillie glanced at his profile, then quickly looked away, pretending to look at the scenery outside the window, but couldn't help but say something.
"Brother Luo Chen."
"Um?"
"Thank you."
"What are you thanking me for?"
"Take me out with you. I know you're busy."
When Lillie said she knew he was busy, Li Luochen fell silent, a sudden pang of sadness gripping his heart.
Lillie is his fiancée.
No matter how busy I am, I should always make time to be with her.
He has indeed been extremely busy these days, with matters concerning the secret realm, the alliance, and a constant stream of miscellaneous tasks filling his time to the brim.
Lillie was quiet and never made a fuss. Even though they lived under the same roof, she never caused him any trouble.
But it was this quietness that made him suddenly realize that he hadn't done enough.
Li Luochen turned to look at Lillie, his tone softening slightly: "It won't happen again."
"What?"
"I won't make you think I'm too busy," Li Luochen said. "The secret realm matter can be postponed, and the alliance matter can be put on hold. You've just arrived in Donghuang, so I should spend more time with you."
Lillie paused for a moment, her ears turning slightly red, and then she lowered her head.
She didn't expect Li Luochen to say that so suddenly!
I'm so shy!
No, Lillie, you can't let the conversation die down in your hands!
I have to say something, anything will do, I can't let the atmosphere stay silent like this.
Thinking of this, Lillie blurted out in a moment of impulse, "Brother Luo Chen, speaking of which... do you like Sister Acerola?"
"?"
Li Luochen was stunned.
His hand on the steering wheel paused slightly. He turned his head to look at her, his expression as complex as if he were solving a math problem without a standard answer.
Is it reasonable for your fiancée to ask you if you like another girl?
"Why are you asking this?" He carefully considered his words.
"I was just... asking casually." Lillie's voice trailed off as she spoke, regretting it as soon as she finished, wishing she could take back what she had just said.
She lowered her head, her fingers twisting the hem of her skirt, her ears burning red.
The car was quiet for a few seconds.
"I asked her to help," Li Luochen finally said, his tone calm. "You are my fiancée."
Upon receiving this answer, Lillie blushed and secretly glanced out the window.
It's still some distance from Rongcheng University, and the surroundings are quiet, with no pedestrians or other vehicles.
Ah!
Lillie, you can do it!
"Brother Luo Chen, could you pull over here for a moment?"
"Huh?" Li Luochen was a little confused, but he still turned on the turn signal, pulled the car over to the side of the road, and pulled the handbrake.
As soon as the car stopped, Lillie moved.
She knelt on the chair, leaning slightly forward, her movements so quick it was as if she were afraid she might change her mind.
Her soft lips gently touched his cheek, trembling slightly, and carried the faint scent of shampoo.
"This is a reward for Brother Luo Chen."
Lillie spoke in a voice barely audible, then shrank back into the passenger seat, burying her face in her hands, revealing only the tips of her burning red ears.
Li Luochen was stunned for a while, then reached out and touched the spot where he had been kissed, where a slight warmth still lingered.
"This...is that a reward?" He couldn't help but laugh.
Lillie peeked out from between her fingers, glared at him, then quickly hid her eye again, saying in a muffled voice, "Don't laugh!"
