Chapter 26
Liu Yu straightened up slightly.
She carefully observed the face in front of her and indeed found a hint of rejection on his calm face—-
“Beiliya, this won’t work,” he said.
“Why not? Gaia, it’s just a kiss,” she replied.
He let go of her hand and she stubbornly wrapped it around him again.
“Beiliya.”
“Gaia, you promised me.”
“Yes, it’s just a kiss, just a luosuo, just a piece of bread— every plunge into the abyss starts like this.”
“Gaia, you’re too much.”
The girl widened her eyes in shock and sadly questioned him, “Are you saying… I’m the abyss? Kissing me is like falling into the abyss?”
“You’re really too much,” she cried.
“No, Beiliya, what I mean is…” Gaia gently touched her hair, “You can restrain yourself.”
“Restrain? Restrain my love for you?” The girl’s hand on his neck fell to his cheek, touching his silky smooth skin. “Sorry, I can’t do that.”
She lowered her head and kissed him.
Gaia made a sound in response.
“Beiliya…”
Taking advantage of this, Liu Yu darted in like a mischievous fish.
Warm and humid air, mixed with dim light and dust, enveloped the two of them.
The heavy wooden cabinet emitted an old smell, which mixed with the lingering fragrance of ink and ubiquitous scent of roses, fermenting into a peculiar and unknown smell.
Her soft hair gently brushed against him like underwater grass—
Gaia moved his head, but bumped into the cold and heavy bookcase.
He stopped.
She rubbed her lips against his, his lips slightly cold, just like him, soft yet cold. His temperature gradually rose, but that tightly closed stone door never opened to her.
Her tears fell and stuck to their faces as they made contact. He leaned against the bookcase, motionless.
She backed away, cradled his cheek, piously and humbly, like countless lovesick girls in unrequited love:
“Gaia, I truly love you, very much.”
“Beiliya.”
He sighed softly, his expression resembling a milk cat that accidentally spilled milk, helpless yet slightly tolerant. “I said, restrain yourself.”
“But Gaia, I can’t.”
The girl held both his hands and covered her face.
Tears flowed recklessly into his palms. “I, Beiliya Bierger, also have my dignity. Do you think I haven’t tried? But I can’t, I really can’t… The hardest to conceal and restrain in this world, apart from breathing, is love…”
“I love you, Gaia.”
“Don’t be so cruel to me.”
Gaia closed his eyes, and she suddenly threw herself into his arms, tightly embracing him.
The boy sighed, gently caressing her soft hair.
“Beiliya, you…”
Feeling the gentle comfort, Liu Yu sobbed and grabbed his collar, burying her tear-streaked face into it. This time he didn’t truly reject her, so the next time, he definitely wouldn’t either.
She was certain.
Gaia resumed reading with her in this position, flipping through the pages one by one.
The sound of rustling paper echoed in the small space. Liu Yu nestled against his chest until the tears on her face dried completely before she wiped her face and sat up.
“Sorry, I was too impolite just now.”
She resumed practicing her Radiant Magic.
Bunches of white fireworks exploded in the air, and she suddenly asked the boy next to her, who was absorbed in reading:
“Gaia, does the book mention how to deal with dark creatures?”
“It does.”
Gaia turned his head slightly, “Black dog blood, silver cross.”
“Black dog blood?” It couldn’t be obtained in the academy, but silver crosses were plentiful.
The boy added, “….insert a silver cross dipped in holy water into the heart of the dark creature.”
“I see.”
Liu Yu smiled knowingly, “I understand.”
Gaia turned his head back.
“Can I come here again tomorrow?”
“If you want to.”
“I want to!”
The girl said happily.
Gaia lightly grunted in response.
An afternoon quietly passed with one person reading and one person practicing.
————–
Twilight once again enveloped the earth, and the moon rose.
The vines on the grape trellis in front of the mushroom house swayed gently in the wind, and the fluttering wings of fireflies quietly called out:
“Ban Ban! Ban Ban!”
[Goodnight, baby.]
“Goodnight, Ban Ban.”
[Come chat with me, it’s 10 luosuos.]
“Oh, you have money?”
Liu Yu exclaimed in surprise.
Under the night sky, Ban Ban’s black eyes were glimmering.
[Hehe, the Princess Marie has a lot, since she wants to cut off Ban Ban’s wings! Those who bully Ban Ban will eventually be punished!]
The one who bullied her the most, Liu Yu:…
“Oh, I’m going to sleep now.”
She rolled over and faced the wall.
On the other side was Gaia’s mushroom house, separated by a thick wall.
Louis would come later, he would come to ask for those ten cups of blood from her. And from his actions in the library to the opportunity he gave her to join the Dark Side—
Liu Yu sighed.
She muttered, “That girl is too annoying.” [Note: Referring to Marie, the princess who bullied Ban Ban]
