Their romance storyline only begins on the second playthrough

thump.

This swift and decisive statement, without any beating around the bush, instantly struck everyone's minds.

In an instant, everyone looked at the person who had spoken those words—Lilith.

ha?

Lilith stated the truth so calmly, without any hesitation.

"Hmm...?" Shirley's raised arm froze in place, and she instantly turned her head to look at Lilith.

“You have amnesia, so I’ve come to introduce you.” Lilith walked to Felicity’s side, extended her palm, and said in her still indifferent tone, “This is not only your good friend, but also Rhodes’ lover.”

This was Lilith's decision.

It was her way of resolving Shirley's self-righteous belief that she was Rhodes's partner.

All you need to do is tell a little lie.

Why not just elevate Felicity, Natalie, and the others from being "good friends" in their past lives to being "lovers" like Shirley?

In this way, everyone's status and position are elevated, and there is no longer any issue of inequality.

Anyway, last night, she was already considered Xia Li's official wife.

If she stepped forward to introduce her to Xia Li, that would be the most effective approach.

Most importantly, this way, she could even use Shirley's misunderstanding to subtly influence the team's mindset, making them genuinely see her as the leader...

"..."

Shirley instantly clutched her head with both hands.

She didn't say anything.

Because it's impossible.

She was a person who firmly believed in pure love. If Lilith was her older sister in her past life, she could barely accept that fact.

Because, well, there are only three people, and she was the one who came later, so it's only natural that she would like a charming superior.

But the problem is, once Felicity is involved, things won't be right, will they?

As someone who values ​​pure love, she could never have accepted a relationship involving four people in her past life!

The problem is, how come... I wasn't surprised at all after hearing it?

Yes, I felt no ripples in my heart, and even felt a little happy after vaguely hearing those words.

Oh no... She's supposed to be a pure love warrior! Has she changed?!

No, no, no, it should be because although my memories are jumbled, the information in my head is telling me that Felicity is a good person, so it's not a big deal that she's Rod's lover.

"No, you're not kidding, are you?" Her voice was weak.

“No.” Lilith shook her head. “By the way, Natalie too.”

"No, no... five people? That's not right, sir."

Despair appeared on Shirley's face. As someone who valued pure love, she could never allow such a situation to occur.

Was it really like this in my past life?

Are you all really Rhodes' lovers?

Why does she feel like something's not right?

"Yes...that's right."

Rod said, trying to sound calm.

That's all I can say.

Otherwise, if Felicity and Natalie are ostracized, it will be a real struggle to get Shirley to understand...

Most importantly, there's one more sentence—

After a brief pause, Rod continued:

"Besides, they all came before you; you're the youngest."

Chapter 178 Felicity's Little Scheme

"So, I'm not third, but fifth, sixth, seventh, or eighth."

Shirley lowered her head in despair, raised her hand, and fell silent.

How could this be?

impossible.

She always felt that they were lying to her.

But it's not impossible, considering the officer's capabilities...

After a half-second silence, she raised her head.

"That's right. Given your abilities, there are bound to be many people who like you."

"but……"

As expected, I'm still sad.

After learning the truth, she simply couldn't accept it.

She could accept sharing a command with Lilith.

Because this way, it's just Lilith the day before yesterday and yourself the day after tomorrow, taking turns like this, which can even make the emotions more intense.

But once it becomes four or five, the nature changes...

I'm in a bad mood.

Ultimately, she has no memory of these people in her mind, so why should she share a superior with a group of strangers?

She also needs to think of a solution.

If there were an opportunity to lay off employees...

"Shirley, don't think about bad things."

"Ah!" Shirley's body trembled, her thoughts interrupted by Rhodes' words. "No, no, sir!"

"Sir, Shirley's head is a little muddled, and she's in a bad mood too."

Rhodes walked up to her and reached out to take her wrist:

"You may have forgotten those memories, but the past will never disappear."

"You once protected them, and they helped you."

"Spend a little more time here and reflect on the past. This will improve your mood and make you less likely to do bad things."

Shirley's figure paused.

Is such that.

Although she has lost her memory, it is being constantly reconstructed and restored.

If, if she regains her memories later, and has already hurt them, then the "self" who regains her memories will definitely hate the her who hurt her good friends now...

She could indeed feel her own heart, and compared to Lilith, she didn't actually reject Felicity and the others at all.

It's even strange that my first impression of Lilith is that she's an "enemy," even though she's the main heroine, right?

It's too chaotic, too problematic... But for now, all I can do is wait for my memories to gradually return before making a decision.

"As expected of the commander, he enlightened me immediately." Shirley slapped her forehead, stood up straight, and then shouted, "Shirley understands!"

"But Shirley still gets jealous sometimes, so I hope everyone can be more tolerant of her."

Shirley's clear voice rang out without the slightest hint of timidity; it was clearly a warning to Felicity and the others.

Felicity nodded slightly, bowed, and smiled sweetly:

"From now on, Shirley, please continue to protect us. Let's get along well together. Thank you."

When Felicity bowed, she resembled a delicate porcelain doll, her golden hair shimmering in the sunlight, and her petite white boots tiptoed, making her appear both adorable and pure.

"Huh..." Shirley's heart skipped a beat, and she pinched her cheeks with both hands.

"I won't let you do whatever you want just because you said that..."

"Huh? I just want Shirley to protect us as coolly as she used to."

Felicity placed her hands on her chest with an innocent expression, instantly shattering Shirley's last line of defense.

So gentle.

In response to her threats, the other party actually expressed their belief in her power and wanted her to protect them.

She looked at the elegant girl in front of her, who was lifting her skirt, and her heart fluttered instantly.

No, no, no, Felicity might just be playing a little trick...

Shirley shook her head, but upon seeing Felicity's pure amber eyes and clear, fair face, she instantly abandoned her suspicions.

There's no way around it; being cute can break down people's defenses.

The moment trust is placed upon her, Shirley's life gains a powerful driving force.

Shirley was originally a meaningless chaotic monster; all her thoughts and consciousness originated from "others".

She lived for Rhodes, but at the same time, she also craved recognition from others and being entrusted with important responsibilities.

Now, Felicity, without any affectation or jealousy, simply handed this burden over to her.

My heart is truly restless.

Most importantly, isn't she really cute?

Of course, Shirley's only role is to protect them as a strong person on Rhode's behalf...

"Okay, I understand!"

Shirley quickly ran to Felicity, then pinched Felicity's face and helped her up.
