"Or rather... Lihua, why don't you come to my room tonight?"

Mo Mo rationally shut out Yui's near-explosive excitement, and his consciousness returned to reality, looking at Jiang Lihua who was still in a daze in front of him.

Meanwhile, Karen, standing behind Mo Mo, wore a strange expression, a mixture of relief and bewilderment. She was naturally relieved, as her good friend Jiang Lihua's feelings seemed to be more than just empty words. But what was strange was… Karen was already considering re-evaluating Mo Mo's character.

The small safe house was completely silent, except for the constant sound of the Knightmare engine running outside and the clanging of various objects and metal, making the inside of the safe house exceptionally noisy.

"Boom!"

Something suddenly slammed into the wall of the safe house, the massive impact causing the entire steel safe house to shake like a giant drum or gong. Immediately afterward, shouts and roars came from outside, indicating that a Knightmare operation had gone wrong.

However, the sound startled the stunned Jiang Lihua. She screamed and instinctively threw herself into Mo Mo's arms.

Mo Mo did not dodge or avoid. If he avoided the embrace of a girl who desperately needed comfort, would he still be a man?

Jiang Lihua, who had just thrown herself into Mo Mo's arms, realized what she had done. Her heart pounded, and she felt as if she were on fire.

Although she and Mo Mo didn't have much intimate contact, there were times when they accidentally got close to each other. At those times, Jiang Lihua's heart would race, but she had never felt like she was engulfed in flames like she did today.

Why is that?

Was it because of what Mo Mo said?

elopement……

Jiang Lihua naturally understood the meaning of those two words. Although she was still young, with Mo Mo's education and the neural connection device, she could be considered knowledgeable and versatile in every aspect.

She understood the meaning of the word "elopement" all too well. In fact, when she realized that her feelings for Mo Mo had changed, she consciously explored a lot of things related to this topic, mostly stories about how a princess could get together with the person she loved.

Britannia's stories are more about knights or princes and princesses, while the Chinese Empire's stories are more about ordinary people eloping with princesses amidst hardship.

These are just stories, but they have become one of the few references for Jiang Lihua. She has thought countless times about what methods she should use if she really wants to get close to Mo Mo.

After much thought... it seems that eloping is the only option.

After all, Jiang Lihua was well aware of the responsibilities she carried. Although she didn't particularly like these responsibilities, they were, according to normal circumstances, her responsibility to shoulder the burden of the Chinese Empire and lead the Chinese people to progress.

However, with this responsibility on her shoulders, can she still be with Mo Mo?

Reason is a good thing, and responsibility and obligation are things that a mature person naturally possesses. Unfortunately, for thirteen-year-old Jiang Lihua, these things are more of a task that puts her under great pressure and that she hates but has to do.

Perhaps in a few years, when she has truly grown up and become more mature and composed, Jiang Lihua will genuinely accept her status as a princess of the Chinese Empire, or even as the emperor, and be willing to shoulder these responsibilities for the future of the Chinese Empire and the Jiang family. But that is the future, not the present.

At this point, Jiang Lihua is ultimately just a young girl experiencing her first love, full of fantasies, disgusted by responsibility and obligation, and preferring freedom.

However, Mo Mo actually said the word "elope" to such a young girl, which is a crime!

Oh, wait, I almost forgot, in the Chinese Empire of this world, thirteen is already the legal age for marriage...

Jiang Lihua, engulfed in flames, wanted to push Mo Mo away or stand up to keep some distance from him, but the flames burned away all her strength. All she could do was press herself against Mo Mo's chest and look up at his smiling face.

Jiang Lihua's face turned red, and the flames seemed to burn her cheeks.

The already dim red circles in her eyes disappeared rapidly and completely under the influence of Jiang Lihua's burning emotions.

It seems that Jiang Lihua's current feelings are also part of her own will, and they have a strong resistance to Geass.

"teacher……"

Jiang Lihua murmured these two words, her eyes becoming even more confused, as if she were expecting something, yet also resisting it.

"Do you want to stand up?"

Mo asked softly.

Jiang Lihua nodded subconsciously, then realized that when Mo Mo said "stand up," he meant to leave his embrace. So she immediately shook her head, shaking it violently, like a rattle drum.

"So, you're not going to stand up? That's good."

As he spoke, Mo Mo reached out to Jiang Lihua's waist, pulled her into his arms, and made their embrace even tighter.

Jiang Lihua's face turned even redder, and she felt a burning sensation in her breath, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. She was so hot that she couldn't even open her eyes.

So she simply closed her eyes, stretched out her arms and hugged Mo Mo's chest, getting as close to him as possible, feeling his breath and body temperature, listening to his strong heartbeat, as if she wanted to merge her whole being into his body.

"Teacher...teacher..."

"sorry."

Mo Mo rested his chin on Jiang Lihua's head and said, "It was my negligence that caused you such pain. You must be in a lot of pain because of me and because of your father."

“I know you’re feeling very confused right now and need some time to sort things out. So, Lihua, would you like to come with me?”

Jiang Lihua shuddered. If she could still dismiss Mo Mo's words as a hallucination just now, she absolutely could not accept them as such this time.

"What happened is cruel to you, but it is equally cruel to me. Although it is regrettable, your father no longer trusts me, so I have decided not to stay in the Chinese Empire any longer."

Jiang Lihua's body stiffened, as if she had fallen from heaven to hell in an instant. Suddenly, she regained her strength and struggled to her feet, supporting herself against Mo Mo's chest. However, she did not leave Mo Mo's side. Instead, she wrapped her arms around Mo Mo's neck and said, "I don't want Teacher to leave. I want to stay with Teacher. I want to follow Teacher!"

Mo Mo smiled and stroked Jiang Lihua's head, saying, "Let me finish."

“I don’t hate what the old emperor did, after all, I’ve always been just a passerby in the Chinese Empire. But Lihua, you’re different. If you really come with me, are you sure you can bear to leave your father and this empire?”

"Everything you have is here."

"But you're not here, Teacher! I want to stay with you, Teacher. I don't want anything else. Father... he uses me as a pawn to threaten you. In his eyes, I'm nothing!"

"Teacher, I want to go with you! I want to leave this place with you and elope with you!"

"I……"

Jiang Lihua was desperately trying to express her feelings. The redness on her face was hard to tell whether it was from shyness or anger. She seemed to be struggling with a lack of words and was desperately trying to do something to prove her feelings.

And then she saw Momo's lips.

201 You dare to snatch my daughter? Do you dare to open the door?

Jiang Lihua was already quite familiar with Mo Mo's face, but this was the first time she had observed Mo Mo so closely, being held in Mo Mo's arms.

Especially after witnessing Karen and Momo's passionate kiss, she seemed even more interested in Momo's lips.

She couldn't help but think, what if Karen were replaced by her...

This wasn't the first time she'd thought this way. After all, Jiang Lihua had spent countless hours around Mo Mo since she was a child, and had accidentally witnessed Mo Mo being intimate with others on numerous occasions.

Of course, this is different from Karen. Karen is, after all, a member of the Mo family. There is no place in the Mo family that she cannot go. The scenes that Karen stumbles upon in places like the bedroom and bathroom are definitely much more intense and profound than what Jiang Lihua stumbles upon in the living room.

However, this was enough to make Jiang Lihua blush.

Just today, she was furious because Karen, who was by her side, had also become Mo Mo's confidante. And now, this opportunity has been presented to her.

Should she do it?

The scene she had longed for so many times was finally unfolding before her eyes, and it was clear that Mo Mo had reciprocated her feelings. So what was she waiting for?

Moreover, Jiang Lihua is now eager to prove to Mo Mo that she wants to leave with him, to leave this place that used to trouble her and now causes her even more pain.

What's the best way to prove it?

Jiang Lihua's heart pounded even harder. With a sudden burst of strength, she stood on tiptoe and moved closer to Mo Mo's face.

"boom!"

"oops!"

Mustering her courage, Jiang Lihua used too much force and hit Mo Mo on the head. Mo Mo was unharmed, but Jiang Lihua now had a bright red mark on her head.

Clearly, this collision was not clean.

"Teacher...I..."

Jiang Lihua looked at Mo Mo with a mixture of grievance and helplessness. Her pitiful expression seemed to say, "Why don't you take the initiative?"

"Daddy, Daddy, hurry up! Hurry up! They've already said yes, don't be shy!"

Yui's voice rang in Mo Mo's ears again. Mo Mo rolled her eyes and said, "Yui, didn't I just tell you not to talk?"

"Ugh—Yui, just say one sentence, just one sentence, and then Yui will shut up right away, okay!"

Mo Mo sighed and said, "Speak, let's see what else you have to say?"

"Daddy, Daddy, have you forgotten that back then, Daddy and Xiaoxue's mom did everything except for being direct? And don't forget, Xiaoxue's mom was only 1..."

Mo Mo smiled and once again blocked out Yui's words, letting Yui's voice disappear from his mind.

Why should people care about details?

"teacher……"

Seeing that Mo Mo remained silent, Jiang Lihua looked at him cautiously and asked, "Teacher... do you understand what Lihua is thinking?"

Mo Mo smiled and responded to Jiang Lihua, saying, "I understand, so give me some time. If Lihua is really willing to come with me, I'm willing to try to like her."

Jiang Lihua was stunned. Although Mo Mo did not respond directly to Jiang Lihua, this answer was much better than Jiang Lihua had imagined.

After all, Mo Mo had never really shown her much affection.

Now, Mo Mo's words are tantamount to giving her a chance, and also mean that he is willing to let her stay by his side.

"Are you willing to believe your teacher?"

"I am willing!"

Jiang Lihua nodded quickly, then showed a bright smile, filled with shyness and joy, her eyes still misty with tears, and stared straight at Mo Mo, as if she could never get enough of looking at him.

“Then…” Jiang Lihua seemed to have thought of something again, her eyes becoming uncertain, and said, “As a promise… could Teacher… could you kiss me like you kissed Karen?”

"No...no need to be so intense, just a gentle touch...just one touch is enough, just one touch!"

Mo Mo was slightly stunned, and a troubled look appeared on his face. He was a law-abiding citizen and not a lolicon. How could he do such a thing to Jiang Lihua?

What if the police kidnap it? Wouldn't this book be abandoned?

However, Mo Mo had a sudden inspiration and said, "Not now, Li Hua. If you grow to have a figure like Karen's in the future, I will not only give you a light kiss, but I can kiss you like I kiss Karen."

Before Jiang Lihua could react, Karen exploded. She had been getting closer and closer to the two of them in order to eavesdrop on their conversation, but now that Mo Mo had mentioned her and used her as a reference, Karen, who was instantly overcome with embarrassment, shouted out while crossing her arms over her chest.

"Why...why use me as the benchmark? Lihua, don't believe him. He's just giving you the runaround. You need to take the initiative and be decisive!"

"Sigh, should I... take the initiative?"

Upon hearing Karen's suggestion, Jiang Lihua became flustered and seemed to have forgotten that she had just tried to take the initiative.
