Chapter 48 Forced Labor
didn't notice where he had gone, thinking was the easiest thing to ignore time and space after all, but when the sound of glass knocking sounded around him, Shen Yi felt that the road in front of him was a little familiar, turned his head sideways, and through the floor-to-ceiling window, sitting there was a woman looking at him, a slightly familiar but unfamiliar smiling face.
~Sui~Dream~Small~Say~ัww~mะตng~lฤ"Hmm...... You are...... It's called Shen Yi, right? โ
Walking into the beautifully decorated teahouse, Shen Yi's uncertain tone once made Shen Yi think that the two did not know each other, her eyes immediately looked behind him, and she didn't see anyone else, so she couldn't help asking, "Vivian is not by your side?" โ
From the words, you can hear two completely different attitudes, one is that his name seems to be barely written down, and the tone of his voice is like an old photo turned out of the pile of clutter, and it should still be the role of passer-by A in the photo, and the other is the persistence of Vivian, as if he saw him on the side of the road by chance, and then said hello, but he remembered someone else, this casual attitude made people feel a little headache, Shen Yi responded with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, Miss Lilith, If I walked in without permission because I was sentimental, can I leave now? โ
"Well, while Vivien isn't here, my motivation will be cut in half."
Saying that, Lilith called the waitress to herself: "But it's not enough to be amorous, stingy men are easy to be hated by women, by the way, I'll decide what to drink?" โ
"It's casual."
He was stunned, then shook his head and signaled that he didn't care, he could see that such an inquiry was just out of politeness, Lilith's tough personality was undoubtedly revealed, and she didn't restrain herself a little because she took into account his feelings, or she actually hated herself very much, and Shen Yi could only say that she couldn't do anything about this unwarranted disgust.
"Well, that's it."
Calling the waiter, Lilith immediately ordered him a cup of green fragrant tea, and the aroma rose in a thick air.
He was able to observe the scenery in the teahouse, there are elegant square tablecloths, expensive tables and chairs, the sound of cups and saucers colliding is intertwined into a unique leisure, if you really want to describe it, it is probably the atmosphere of a lazy afternoon nap, there are not many guests in the teahouse, there are many empty seats, transparent floor-to-ceiling windows can enjoy the scenery on both sides of the street, looking at the passers-by in a hurry, time seems to become a reflection in the cup.
Shen Yi's gaze immediately turned to Lilith who was sitting opposite, after helping him order a cup of unnamed flower tea, the other party seemed to start to bury his head in a large pile of information on the table again, his slightly lowered brows were locked together from time to time, the bangs on his forehead were thrown to the side, and there was a white hat on his head, which had actually been said before, Lilith was a very beautiful woman, whether it was her hairstyle or what she was wearing at this time, the sky blue off-the-shoulder long sleeves were slightly curled to reveal delicate and fair skin, is full of a strong sense of self-confidence, and it is exactly like this, with her somewhat tough personality, Shen Yi concluded that this is a woman with a very strong sense of existence.
Lilith, who got serious, didn't seem to have any thoughts of greeting him, and wrote in circles on the paper from time to time, a rustling sound came from the tip of her pen, Shen Yi cooperated without saying a word, occasionally took a sip of the porcelain cup, and the slightly hot sweet liquid slipped into her mouth.
The tacit silence, the heart is so quiet that he can't seem to hear the heartbeat, in fact, he prefers a wordless confrontation like this than chattering, and it is not all right to say that it is a confrontation, because as his own side, it is more ignored, Shen Yi will not be dissatisfied because of such a snub, so to speak, he is a little grateful for such a silent communication, and it is good to treat it as a rest, after all, silence does not need to be bothered, at least compared to communicating with others, the attitude of the other party, their own attitude, politeness during dialogue, etc., There are a lot more things to consider about the purpose and result of the conversation, and it is better to take advantage of the cup of fragrant tea in the cup to investigate why it is so complicated, in the end, Lilith in front of her is a strange and careless woman.
Time flowed quietly, and it didn't take long, the keen five senses noticed Lilith's curious gaze, Shen Yi looked into her eyes suspiciously, and when she found that her secret observation was recognized, Lilith simply stopped writing, and did not make any excuse for her small actions just now, but spoke directly: "Shen Yi said before that he is not an Atlas person, although it is a little abrupt, but can you sue me, where are you from?" Is it Hiro or Sistia? โ
A sharp and oppressive gaze looked over, and for a moment, Shen Yi's body straightened slightly, and asked a question with a sense of vigilance, his eyes subconsciously swept over her throat and eyebrows, and the killing intent was naturally impossible to express, it should be said that it was the instinct of being a greedy wolf that was aroused at this moment, but ...... He didn't hesitate for long, relaxed his tense nerves a little, but he was a little curious why he asked: "It's not an experience that has to be hidden, I was saved by Vivien, and I don't remember where I lived before." โ
The half-truth answer, what was saved was the truth, and it was also a fact that he didn't know where it came from, because he didn't know how to locate his previous world, and the fake nature was a statement that he couldn't remember at all.
As for falling in Lilith's eyes, this is a somewhat honest and overly answered, although in terms of the essence of the problem, there is no need for anything useful, considering that distinguishing between truth and falsehood is not a necessary problem, Lilith did not dwell on this aspect more, of course, she is not conceited enough to think that she can read the truth and falsehood through a series of small actions, although sometimes it is obvious that the other party's psychological changes can be seen, but more often it is not, like now, even if she feels that Shen Yi does not seem to be liaring at this moment, But they will not make a decision lightly and make a decision that they believe completely.
The reason is naturally simple, what we need to understand is often not the lie itself, but the purpose behind the lie, with this thought, her gaze softened slightly: "I'm sorry, the question just now may make you feel uncomfortable, but people with black hair and black eyes are too rare, because of my occupational disease, so I have to be vigilant." โ
Shen Yi was surprised that Lilith didn't ask any more, looking at her saying the words of apology as a matter of course, but there was no expression on her face at all, am I really hated, he couldn't help but scratch his head: "How do you feel that you don't have any apologies in your words......"
"Ahra, is that so? Why don't you bring Vivien here, and then I'll give myself a grand apology?" โ
"No, if I really do that, I'll be bitten to death by her."
"Tsk, timid man."
"I'm sorry, but the agitation didn't work for me."
Then the atmosphere eased slightly, and the topic was briefly suspended, Lilith held her chin with one hand, and gently tapped the table with the other, squinting her eyes at Shen Yi, who looked away indifferently, because she felt that she would throw something very troublesome to herself next.
"Shen Yi, you...... You shouldn't be in a hurry, right? โ
"There's really nothing urgent, but I always feel like it's not a good idea to stay."
"Don't say that, it's a good habit to be helpful!"
โโฆโฆโ
Then Shen Yi's premonition also came true, it should be said that from the moment he met Lilith, the end of his forced labor was already doomed, and the latter threw over the work at hand without any guilt, looking at the materials piled up in front of him, he couldn't help but say: "Miss Lilith, isn't this a good thing?" โ
"Well, don't worry too much, there's nothing unsightly on it, it's all Atlas that needs to be dealt with, although it's not too important, but it should also be carefully reviewed, and it would be better if you could give advice on how to solve it."
"No, I don't mean that, it's really okay for you to just hand over the work to someone else?"
"If you want to blame, blame the unscrupulous boss, I'm already overloaded with overtime here, you can just think of it as a part-time help, don't worry about the pay, sister, I'm very rich."
"In a sense, we can't really say a point to go up......"
"Then don't be lazy, don't be lazy, hurry up and finish it here!"
โฆโฆ After that, Shen Yi was naturally regarded as the object of Lilith's call, among them, whether it was because he was too unintentional, or Lilith was too strong, so that it evolved into the current appearance, Shen Yi reflected a little, but he was not too disgusted, considering that he could use this to understand Atlas's humanistic style, it might be helpful to find Isabella, Shen Yi did not express too much resistance.
In addition to the trouble caused by not knowing much about Atlas at the beginning, Shen Yi quickly adapted to the work that Lilith had forced over, after all, it was all about some small problems encountered in the development of Atlas, and it was not too difficult to solve them by applying the knowledge of the previous world urban planning, but Lilith was a little surprised when she saw the advice he gave.
"I really can't see it, Shen Yi, your head is quite useful, and the advice you give is unexpectedly pertinent!"
"You're not a compliment, but it'......"
After a slight pause, Shen Yi helplessly glanced at Lilith, who was drinking tea on the other side, leisurely holding the information he had reviewed and watching: "From the beginning, you seem to be lazy." โ
"Sister, I'm helping you fix your mistakes and omissions, so don't complain."
โฆโฆ When dusk fell, Shen Yi couldn't help but stretch her waist, and Lilith came back to her senses and looked at Shen Yi with some surprise: "Well, I've read it all, you can't have the mind of a great sage in your head!" โ
"Someone who has been in afternoon tea mode since the afternoon should not be qualified to question, and it is not a good habit to casually stuff work to others......"
Lilith didn't seem to hear Shen Yi's dissatisfaction with the complaint, and patted him on the shoulder without minding: "It's hard, it's hard, as for the reward, my sister and I will help you pay for your consumption here today." โ
"How do I feel like I've been cheated......
"This is not a lie, the cup of blue tree roses you ordered in the afternoon is a treasure that money can't buy, a small cup will cost about 500 meters."
โโฆโฆ Looks like you ordered it for me......"
"Don't worry too much about the details, by the way, this is a gift for Vivien."
Immediately, Lilith called the waiter and handed the prepared pastry to Shen Yi: "Then, we'll see you next time, Shen Yi." โ
Looking at Lilith, who seemed to be inexplicably happy because she had solved some headache, Shen Yi couldn't help but shake her head, waved goodbye under her eager gaze full of smiles, and then stepped into the apartment on the way home, but couldn't help muttering in her heart: "It's better not to see you again......"
