Chapter 130: Struggle
"Hello~"
During the lunch break, Ilya, who was munching on bread in her seat, sneezed and snot was bubbling outward.
Lu Fan, who was sitting next to her, reluctantly took out a tissue and handed it to the other party.
Who knows, Ilya gave him a blank look, did not take the tissue, but opened his bag.
But embarrassingly, she rummaged through her bag for a few seconds and found that she had forgotten to bring tissues today.
"Humph!" Ilya snorted, and her little hand reluctantly took the tissue in Lu Fan's hand and wiped her slightly reddened little nose.
It has been two full days since the locker room turmoil happened, but Ilya still deliberately keeps her distance from Lu Fan.
"Ahem, I think it's almost time to pass the locker room. I apologize to you solemnly, I really didn't mean to. And you see, my face isn't completely swollen yet. Lu Fan sighed.
Ilya continued to wipe her nose with a tissue and did not answer Lu Fan.
"Besides, aren't you my exclusive demon envoy, if you continue like this, I'm afraid that the demon's duties will also be affected. Your leader in the bureau definitely doesn't want to see your employees slacking off, and your performance appraisal may not look good at that time. ”
Lu Fan continued to teach earnestly, "And it is precisely because of your fickle personality that people will say bad things about you behind your back and make you sneeze." ”
Ilya squinted at Lu Fan dissatisfied.
"Of course, that person wasn't me." Lu Fan, who had a strong desire to survive, hurriedly added.
Then, he rubbed his hands: "Since Tielong Technology attacked the monitoring room, you have lost weight recently, look at the sneezing now, it is estimated that the hygiene in the apartment has not been done well." Why don't I cook something delicious for you tonight and clean up? ”
Ilya thought for a moment, then shook her little head wordlessly.
Lu Fan found that there was no longer a red and shy expression on her face, but instead it was cold.
This kind of coldness is very familiar to Lu Fan, and when Ilya first appeared in front of Lu Fan, it was this kind of look that could make people fall into the ice cellar.
Ilya said on the communication channel:
"I'm sorry, I don't need you to make a bento right now. In the past few days, I have seriously thought about our relationship.
I'll admit that some time ago, I was a little confused by the food you cooked, which was a mistake on my part as an administrator. So, now I feel like there's nothing left between us to talk about.
Of course, I will continue to fulfill my job responsibilities, and you can keep your distance from me, and we will be an ordinary cooperative relationship in the future.
When you clear the customs, you can choose to regain your freedom, and I'll have to go back to the Dimensional Authority. We're just an ordinary Pingshui relationship. ”
Ilya turned her back to Lu Fan and said these cold words in the system channel, her lips were white, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she seemed to be in pain, she added:
"Anyway, I'm sorry for pushing you out of the locker room that day and causing trouble to your relationships, and I promise you that nothing like this will happen in the future."
Lu Fan was confused when he heard it, he faintly felt that Ilya's state was a little wrong, and he couldn't say what was wrong, so he had to answer:
"Well, although you are fine with saying this, but to be honest, that incident is not a big deal, why should you take it so seriously...... Have you been feeling unwell lately? ”
Lu Fan subconsciously touched Ilya's arm.
"Don't touch me!"
Ilya knocked Lu Fan's hand off with her hand, and said with a frown.
Her shouting this time was so loud that everyone in the class heard it, including Tao Xueran, who was cleaning up the desk.
Everyone looked at Lu Fan and Ilya, and then whispered.
Ilya snorted, put her head on the table, and ignored Lu Fan.
Lu Fan's hand in mid-air was raised awkwardly, and his heart was in turmoil: What kind of song is this! What's going on with the good end.
At the same time, he felt a little lost in his heart: he obviously felt that he had established a strong bond with Ilya through many days of getting along.
Especially on the night when he carried Ilya home, he was even more happy that she had become a "very important" person to him, the kind of person who deserved everything to protect.
Although, this kind of feeling is just budding, and Lu Fan doesn't understand what it means, which is why he confides in Leia in the bar in distress.
But he never expected that Ilya's recent abnormal attitude would gradually extinguish this small flame in his heart.
Then, Lu Fan smiled self-deprecatingly-
In the end, he was too proud, "thinking that he knew this girl completely" or something, it was completely wishful thinking on his part.
The final class meeting ended in a solidified atmosphere.
Because they had to walk the same way when they got home from school, Lu Fan and Ilya still walked one after the other with their schoolbags on their backs.
This riverside street was already familiar to Lu Fan, and there were countless evenings when he and Ilya went home together in the sunset.
However, in the past, two people walked side by side, but now they have walked in a formation separated by a long distance.
Lu Fan had something on his mind, and subconsciously slowly approached Ilya, but Ilya immediately turned his head after noticing, his beautiful eyes glared, he stopped again, and watched her walk away.
He secretly said in his heart: Who am I trying to provoke?
Originally, the mobile phone was inexplicably installed with rogue software by the Dimensional Administration, and it was already a pain to force it to cross over.
As a result, the Dimensional Administration Bureau arranged such an exclusive envoy again.
is called the demon, but it is actually a little ancestor. He often waits for good food and drink, shush the cold and ask for warmth, clean everything, and is reluctant to let her do heavy work, and open a small stove for her in the company to make her a lucky cat, for fear that she will be wronged.
That's it, and I'm still going to be punched and kicked by this girl at every turn, and sometimes I can't say that I change my face for some reason, who can stand it.
He remembered a quote called "Lick the dog until there is nothing left." ”
Lu Fan shook his head, thought about it, and didn't catch up with Ilya again. Whatever the reason, don't go up and feel uncomfortable now, or Ilya will be even more uncomfortable.
After hesitating for a long time, he turned around and walked down a remote alley.
Ilya turned her head slightly, and caught a glimpse of Lu Fan's leaving figure out of the corner of her eye, with a slight hesitation and loss on her face, but she quickly returned to normal.
……
With a creak, Ilya opened the security door of her luxury apartment.
What catches your eye is an empty living room and messy furniture.
The huge apartment was silent, dark, and uninteresting, except for the pendulum on the wall, which made a shriveled sound.
Ilya threw her bag to the ground, then sat back on the couch with her white silk legs in her arms.
She buried her little head deep in her knees, and kept recalling in her mind that when she rescued Yuko in the audio-visual education center before, that scene happened-
Sirens sounded around her constantly, red aperture effects surrounded her, and various small words appeared in front of her eyes, reminding her not to forget her identity and authority.
The happier he got along with Lu Fan before, the bigger the gap when he woke up, and after that battle, Ilya was obviously already gradually sober.
But the more depressing something is, the stronger the backlash will be. She didn't know how long she would last.
After a moment's reckoning, she looked up again and looked in the direction of the kitchen.
In the countless days before, the pleasant time she spent here with Lu Fan flickered in front of her eyes like a marquee.
Whenever she was so hungry that she poked in at the kitchen door, Lu Fan always reluctantly knocked her head with a spoon, but in the end she was reluctant to knock it down......
And now, that image looks like it can't be reproduced anymore.
Ilya knew that his actions in the past few days must have caused a lot of harm to Lu Fan.
"Xiaofan...... I'm sorry......" Her big eyes began to red again, and then tears began to fall down.
But she knew she couldn't decide it all.
She also knew what the consequences of disobeying those created orders would be for herself and Lu Fan.
"Obviously, before coming here, I had already warned myself in advance that I had to sort out my mood. Obviously he kept telling himself that he was not his 'that' master, but why...... Why do you still feel heartbroken......"
She was curled up on the couch in the dark living room.
There was a boom, lightning and thunder began outside, and then a torrential rain followed.
Ilya was so afraid of the thunder that she picked up the blanket and covered her body, her petite body trembling.
She remembered again that rainy night when Lu Fan first came to this apartment, she and Lu Fan were huddled together in a small room and snuggled up to each other.
Until now, she can still recall the temperature of Lu Fan's back.
Growing up, she had never felt such warmth, and she even wished that the next day's dawn would never come.
However, the reality is harsh.
"Forgive me, Xiaofan, only in this way can I protect you."
Ilya curled up in a blanket, tears on her face, fell into a deep sleep.
……
In the next few days, the preparation activities of the female ghost café in the class continued to be carried out in an orderly manner. It's not been a few days since the school festival.,All kinds of work are in the finishing stage.。
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the atmosphere in the classroom is a little wrong.
As the two core protagonists of the café, Tao Xueran and Ilya, they are silent, and their performances are listless, as if they are preoccupied.
And Lu Fan, as the executive committee member of the event, is also absent-minded, as if his soul is gone.
"Dude, what's going on with you these days, are you stunned?" Chu Xiong and Chen Guangyao surrounded him, stretched out their hands and gestured twice in front of Lu Fan's eyes.
"Oh, nothing." Lu Fan took his eyes back from Ilya and Tao Xueran.
"I'm thirsty, go outside for a drink, you two help me watch for a while." With that, Lu Fan left the classroom slowly, and almost bumped into the girl who was moving things.
Chu Xiong and Chen Guangyao looked at Lu Fan's back side by side, and muttered in a low voice:
"Eh, you say, who was Lu Fan staring at just now? I bet Wumao is Tao Xueran. Chu Xiong, a senior shareholder of Tao Xueran's stock, said very surely.
"It has to be Elijah." As the major shareholder of Ilya shares, Chen Guangyao is naturally not to be outdone.
After school, Lu Fan thought about it and decided to go to Wanshi Company first.
After all, there is still a stall over there that he is quite concerned about, and now that the third milestone has reached 90%, he doesn't want to drop the chain at a critical moment.
When she came to the door of the warehouse, Ilya suddenly ran out of it, she passed by Lu Fan, and ran away towards the path at the end of the campus without looking back.
"Huh?" Lu Fan entered the warehouse with a question mark on his head and saw that almost everyone was already inside.
At this time, Tao Xueran and Xu Yuanyuan walked up and whispered to Lu Fan:
"I'm sorry, Xiaofan, that ...... Ilya just told us that the previous time in the locker room, she pushed you in on her own initiative, and she didn't think much about it, she just wanted to joke...... I didn't expect our reaction to cause you trouble. ”
The two girls blushed, although they apologized, but it was obvious that they were more energetic than before.
Lu Fan turned his head to look at the open warehouse door, and involuntarily sighed secretly: This stupid girl......
Thinking of this, he also continued: "Ilya is right, I have nothing to do with her, don't get me wrong, it was a joke that day." ”
"I see, then we understand."
After Lu Fan denied it in person, Tao Xueran and Xu Yuanyuan's expressions relaxed.
After that, everyone was still busy with their own business, but without Ilya, the atmosphere was always a little wrong.
