How come I am still being controlled by them even though I have changed my ways?

Isn't the implication that I won't go back until tonight?

What do you want to say this out of the blue?

Gil was confused for a moment - and by the time he understood why Xilin said that, it was too late.

Since Xilin said so, Jill had no choice but to do as he was told and go back to the dormitory with Luvilia.

However, without Xilin's "interference", the two who had a common secret in the turmoil of the college festival were alone again, and the atmosphere became a little strange.

Not only were the two of them silent on the way back, but the only "accompaniment" was the sound of students from the Pyroxene Magic Academy running around telling each other the good news of their "win" today.

Even after returning to the dormitory, the atmosphere was still as stiff as it could be.

When Gil met Luvilia at noon, wasn't Miss Feng Aotian in a good mood? She even greeted him.

How come the whole afternoon went by and he was completely silent, like he was just sulking? Is it true that women's hearts are like needles in the sea?

Looking at Luvilia, who stood there motionless and stiffly, as if she had entered a stranger's home, Gil felt that he could not just stand there any longer - otherwise, when Xilin came back later and saw him and Luvilia in this state, she might think of something wrong.

As for why Luvilia seemed so "hesitant", Giles could only come up with one answer after thinking about it: Luvilia must still be concerned about the "tug of war" between him and Dean Roy. After all, Luvilia's victory today also meant that he and Dean Roy had really "fallen out".

On this point, Jill could give Luvilia's answer without hesitation.

So, when the clock in the dormitory struck the hour and the sun outside slowly set, Jill took a deep breath and spoke.

"Luvlia, I voluntarily chose to be the enemy of Dean Roy. It has nothing to do with whether it was your idea that messed it up."

Then, fearing that Luvilia might overthink things, he hastily added another sentence.

"Besides, it's just that I offended someone and need forgiveness. Anyway, there are many girls like this in my reform plan. Dean Luoyi is not the only one~"

The implicit and implicit meaning of the words is to say: I am a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.

"So, let's end the secret between us here. We've kept it a secret anyway, and no one else will know the real story."

We can do whatever we want after that, and there’s no need to deliberately keep in touch, so as to avoid letting acquaintances like Xilin realize that “we have some unspeakable secret.”

That's what Jill thought.

However, the next moment, Luvilia's reaction was more intense than he expected, and more...quick.

"What's the meaning!?"

Although she was still dazed and distracted a second ago, Luvilia came to Gil immediately as if she had heard something important.

He frowned, looking unwilling.

"You don't want to admit it?"

Jill was stunned: Meow meow meow?

He thought: There doesn't seem to be any "account" to be settled between him and Luvilia, right?

120. The one who laughs last is the winner

Luvilia's sudden action really scared Jill - facing Feng Aotian, who had beaten him up in his "yellow-haired period", it was not strange that he had such an "instinctive reaction", right?

But Luvilia seemed to have seen something that made her unwilling to accept, and the expression on her pretty face gradually became gloomy.

Xilin hadn't come back yet, and there were only two people in the quiet dormitory - he couldn't even find an excuse to slip away!

I could only bite the bullet and listen to Luvilia continue.

Look at Lady Knight Princess, who should be happy about winning the competition at the academy festival today, but why is she not satisfied now?

The gradually fading sunset glow and Luvilia's face, which was now uncertain but seemed to express more shame and anger, intertwined the two...

In fact, Jill already had a bad guess in his mind, but... for emotional and logical reasons, and even out of the idea of "can't believe this illusion", he didn't dare to express it.

If he guessed the girl's thoughts wrongly, not only would he be disliked, but he might even be mocked by Luvilia as a "low-class man".

So, just listen carefully.

After their eyes met, Luvilia finally regained some of her "image" as a princess knight and spoke seriously.

"Thank you for covering up my mistake this time."

Jill certainly knew what the "mistake" that Luvilia was talking about was - strictly speaking, the dilemma that Chairman Caiwei encountered at this academy festival... was mostly caused by Luvilia's idea.

After all: he didn't really steal the list on his own initiative - the list was given by Luvilia, and the idea was also Luvilia's. He was only responsible for communicating with Dean Roy.

He always succeeds in passing the buck.

But this is just a result-oriented approach: the source of the problem is that he was threatened by Dean Roy - everything Luvilia did was to help him.

So, Gil wasn't so bad as to blame Luvilia for this. He wouldn't do such a thing.

Naturally, he didn't necessarily need Luvilia to thank him. Moreover, Luvilia had "taken it upon herself" to help him. Such an action... what was the reason behind it?

Luvilia's words interrupted Jill's wandering thoughts.

"Fortunately, we made up for our losses and at least there is still hope. All this is the result of your hard work, Jill."

If the atmosphere hadn't been growing increasingly strange, Gil wouldn't have wanted to take credit for it. What efforts had he made? It was nothing more than deceiving and ambushing Dean Roy—the intelligence he'd gained might have been somewhat useful, but ultimately, it was Luvilia's performance that had enabled the "comeback."

Otherwise, nothing can be discussed.

So, don't praise me.

It's really embarrassing.

Jill scratched her head: "No, no, no, it's all thanks to you, Luvilia..."

Before Jill could finish, Luvilia interrupted his pleasantries. Perhaps from the very beginning, this Miss Feng Aotian had intended more than just "praising him."

The sound of small leather shoes stepping on the floor is so crisp.

It sounded slow, but at this moment, time seemed to have slowed down around the two of them. By the time Gil noticed, Luvilia had already come to him.

He raised his head, his moist eyes now only looking at her.

It seemed that at this moment, the person in front of Jill was not Feng Aotian, who would kill anyone and everything that stood in his way, but just a girl who had finally found an opportunity to be alone with him without being disturbed.

"I'm not an unreasonable person. I've made an agreement with you before. As long as you can competently take over my responsibilities and protect the little princess Xilin, I will choose to forgive you on the condition that you return to the capital and reform yourself."

"And I think your performance this time is indeed worthy of my trust. So..."

What is supposed to come will still come.

However, I don’t know if it was Jill’s illusion, but he was clearly looking forward to getting Luvilia’s forgiveness - getting this knight who once hated him so much to forgive him must be an epic achievement, right?

But why is it that now he not only cannot be happy, but also feels "a little panicked"?

Is it because Luvilia seems too "well-behaved" in front of him?

Or was it because of Luvilia's next words?

"Jill, I pledge my heart and soul: I have forgiven you—and I hope you will be as consistent in your words and deeds as you are now, and that you will reform yourself."

But Luvilia, isn't your personality a little... too...?

Jill thought about it and swallowed the words back into her stomach - it was not appropriate to say that in this kind of atmosphere.

After receiving Luvilia's forgiveness, shouldn't they be breaking out the champagne? But before Jill could express her gratitude, she had to wait a moment.

Luvilia suddenly stretched out her hand.

"Don't worry!"

He was told not to worry, but Jill always felt that Luvilia was more anxious now!

Moreover, it must be some incredible idea, her little face is about to turn red!

"It's not over yet!"

Then, he cleared his throat, as if his next intention was more important than "forgiving him" just now.

"From now on, you will be solely responsible for protecting Xilin. Although I will certainly protect the little princess, the official responsibility has been placed on you."

"Under normal circumstances, I shouldn't be needed anymore."

This was not Jill's illusion, he really felt a "sour taste".

"But...if possible, it's fine if you ask me for help. I will do my best to solve the problems you and Xilin are facing, just like I did today."

Just this one sentence doesn't sound like anything.

But Luvilia's subsequent words immediately made the already strange atmosphere around them...

Completely out of control.

"Because, I do to you..."

Jill started to sweat, and had only one thought in her mind: Huh?

Could it really be... "that sentence"?

Fortunately, it stopped abruptly - I don't know if Luvilia was shy or what, but she didn't continue.

But as for what exactly happened to him, even if Jill wanted to play dumb, she couldn't do it anymore - because it wasn't over yet!

After expressing his attitude, how could it be the end for Feng Aotian, who has such strong action ability like Luvilia?

So, during the time when the two of them were alone, Luvilia could do whatever she wanted - because: although she had forgiven Jill, the "situation" between the two of them had not changed.

Jill couldn't just turn his back on Luvilia's request and refuse it immediately after getting Luvilia's forgiveness, right?

That's too bad.

So, the next moment, everything became difficult to clean up.

"I…would like to know what you think of me, Jill."

Clenching her fists, the girl stood on tiptoe and came right in front of him.

121. Jill, go heat up the stove.

Jill swallowed and for a moment didn't dare to look into Luvilia's eyes, which were filled with nervousness and expectation.

For Gil, isn't the answer to this question simply "non-existent"?

To answer, it's not that he can't. During the time he spent in close contact with Luvilia these days, Jill felt that Luvilia was like his "good brother" - someone who could give advice and take the blame, and who would also be loyal and take responsibility if something unexpected really happened.

If possible, Jill also hopes to see Luvilia in this way from now on.

However... the idea was beautiful, but the reality was: Luvilia in front of him obviously didn't want to hear an answer like "good brother", and Jill felt that he was not so dull as to pretend to be an "innocent boy" in such an atmosphere.

So, we can only think of "compromise".

Perhaps it was because deep down in his heart, for some reason, he didn't dare, and didn't have the courage to give Luvilia the best answer - it was as if something was bothering him.

Let him speak ambiguously.

"Uh, very... very good, very beautiful, very strong..."

Jill's response was silence, and the clear sound of Luvilia's breathing.

The girl just stared at him without saying a word, as if to say, "You want to leave today if you don't give me the correct answer?"

Jill had no choice but to continue.

"I...I'm very grateful to you, Luvilia."

"that is it?"

This time, there was even a hint of resentment in Luvilia's question.

This made Jill even more hesitant to honestly admit the answer to the question "He knew what Luvilia wanted him to say."

For a moment, Jill felt that he was just like a JK who had been trained by the physical education teacher. His body was obviously very honest, but his mouth still wanted to be tougher.

Then, say that "classic speech".

"Luvlia, I think you're a good girl."

So: some weird ideas, that's it, okay?

That's what Jill thought.
