Once again, Ji Lian was defeated by her “shameful but effective avoidance psychology.”
Avoiding the sense of betrayal to her sister in her heart.
Faced with the proactive approach of the elf Sherya, she adopted a passive and non-responsible attitude…
Just enjoying the desire in her heart to be close to her, and satisfying that desire.
Like now, embracing the innocent and ignorant elf Sherya, focusing on her delicate and soft figure, her breath couldn’t help but hitch.
The warm breath touched the fine hairs on the girl’s white neck.
Making her feel ticklish.
For this, the little one cutely shrunk her neck.
Then she turned her head to show a shy and bashful smile to Ji Lian.
That smile instantly struck Ji Lian’s heart.
Making her realize that she once had the opportunity to have such a beautiful elf girl.
The opportunity to protect her… from the terrifying torment and harm.
She was born pure as snow and shouldn’t have been tainted.
Ji Lian’s eyes darkened for a moment.
But as the relevant thoughts rushed in like a tide, they also meant they would recede as swiftly as a tide.
Fortunately, Sherya is now very rational.
She does not expect that merely relying on such simple cuddling and acting cute will make Ji Lian completely regretful.
Because the girl was well aware that her position in Ji Lian’s heart, compared to her sister Ji Yu Su, was far from being comparable.
The slight regret Ji Lian felt was primarily due to her desires.
For some people, love at first sight was nothing more than a shallow attraction.
When desire was stripped away, Ji Lian would be more calm and rational than anyone in judging right from wrong, and in making choices.
And most likely, Sherya would be the one to be abandoned.
So she won’t be complacent.
Instead, she chooses a more calm approach, advancing step by step.
Breaking through Ji Lian’s defenses bit by bit, devouring her rationality, tearing open the gap between her and Ji Yu Su…
The girl made a determined decision.
One day, she would make Ji Lian cry in the crematorium!
Sherya: Use Favorability Appraisal, Target: Ji Lian.
System: Target’s favorability towards the host: 30%
System: But this is still within the range of slight favorability.
System: Additionally, there’s a watershed at fifty percent favorability, where it becomes increasingly difficult to raise it further.
Sherya: Huh, it’s pretty much as I guessed. Now, my guilt has lessened a lot.
System: I thought you were going to transform quickly and become a cool and ruthless main character after what you just said…
System: Is this all? Still having doubts and expectations about the bad girls?
System: You’re really a little fool.
Sherya: Grr… annoying, I don’t want to be teased by you.
Sherya: Just wait and see, System sister!
Sherya: I won’t disappoint you in the future…
System: I look forward to that day.
System: But coming back to the point, why don’t you save the favorability appraisal used for Ji Yu Su?
Sherya: Heh, I’m not a fool!
Sherya: I can guess the position I hold in her heart!
Sherya: I’m nothing more than her exclusive tool for venting desires!
Sherya: How can she have any feelings towards a tool…
In reality, the elf girl took a cute and fierce bite of a bright red strawberry.
The fleeting sweetness of the fruit momentarily comforted her saddened heart.
System fell silent once again.
At that moment, another set of footsteps approached from outside the dining room.
The delectable aroma attracted the attention of both Sherya and Lily Ji, who were enjoying their meals.
Even Ji Lian, who was immersed in the fragrance of the elf girl, looked up to see the source of the approaching footsteps.
When they saw the newcomer, Ji Lian furrowed her brows slightly.
The woman who was approaching in a maid outfit was named Chen Jing, the head maid, and she also served as the caretaker for the sisters while residing away from the main estate.
Chen Jing tacitly allowed the other maids to ignore and mock Ji Lian, as she was one of the most loyal servants in the Ji family.
Like many others proud to be called “dogs of the Ji family,” she harbored a deep resentment towards Ji Lian and her mother,
Believing that they tainted the Ji family’s bloodline.
However, on the surface, Chen Jing followed the orders of the family head, acknowledging and respecting Ji Lian’s status as the second daughter.
She was known for her two-faced nature, the smiling tiger that people feared and hesitated to deal with.
Now, she politely bowed towards Ji Lian with a hint of apology in her tone.
“I apologize if my subordinates have upset you, Lady Ji Lian.”
“I’m here to apologize on their behalf.”
Throughout her speech, Chen Jing’s tone remained flat, showing neither remorse nor genuine emotion.
As an unprivileged illegitimate daughter with lineage but no power, Ji Lian might need to follow the hierarchy of respect and inferiority with ordinary maids.
However, when faced with the head maid who truly held some power, Ji Lian had no choice but to descend gracefully following the steps the woman provided.
This approach aimed to ease the tension between them, preventing the situation from escalating into a full-blown conflict that could harm both parties.
“Housekeeper Chen, your words are too harsh. I have already dismissed that matter from my mind.”
“That’s for the best.”
Chen Jing smiled faintly. Her already erect posture was further accentuated by a delicate pair of glasses perched on her nose.
This is one of the inventions of the empire. It has the function of regulating vision. As for decoration, it is favored by elegant and intellectual women.
Suddenly, Sherya felt a chill down her back.
She couldn’t help but shrink slightly into Ji Lian’s arms.
Just because she passed through the mirror glass, the head aid clearly cast her cold gaze, full of scrutiny and inexplicable meaning, on Sherya’s young body.
Her gaze was like a torch, as if she wanted to see through the poor elf girl.
Not to mention Lily Ji, the person she fears most is the housekeeper Chen Jing in front of her.
To this day, she still feels a faint burning pain from the whip marks on her thighs left on her thighs after being scolded by the housekeeper for sneaking into the back garden to play.
“Then I’ll take my leave, Lady Ji Lian.”
“Housekeeper Chen, please go slowly and don’t see me off.”
After a while of false politeness, the housekeeper left the restaurant.
Ji Lian also let out a long breath.
The girl lowered her head and happened to notice that there was a bright red cherry left on Sherya’s plate.
So she picked it up gently and made a gentle sound of “Ahh…”
Urging Sherya to open her mouth.
The elf girl was extremely shy, but in the end she blushed and gently opened her soft cherry colored lips.
Let Ji Lian put the cherry into it accurately.
The innocent and ignorant elf girl gently rolled it with her fragrant little tongue and took it in her mouth.
Little did she know that when this move fell into Ji Lian’s eyes, her heartbeat stopped for half a beat.
At the same time, a seemingly unsolvable problem emerged in the girl’s mind.
——–What does it feel like to kiss an elf like that?
