Chapter 4: Lily
**Los Angeles, September 1st**
"Good morning, Lucious!"
As soon as Lucious closed the door to the room, a familiar voice came from the corridor.
He reacted almost instinctively and without looking back he grabbed the jade hand that wanted to touch his head.
It was as if he had practiced this action countless times.
"Little Leaf, I have said many times that a man's head is just like a girl's feet and cannot be touched casually."
After taking out the key, Lucious turned around and gave the girl in front of him an annoyed look.
In response, the girl stuck out her tongue and looked cute.
The girl had delicate features, a ponytail, and a pair of big watery eyes that stood out, revealing indescribable agility.
She was the kind of energetic girl who made people feel better just by looking at her.
The girl's name was Lily. She was a childhood sweetheart who grew up with Lucious. Her family lived on the upper floor of this building.
It is said that girls change their lives, but he did not expect that the little girl he could carry around with a lollipop when he was a child has now grown into a bright and charming girl next door.
Although Lucious's personality had become much quieter due to the huge changes ten years ago, when facing her, Lucious rarely showed the vigor that a teenager should have.
After hearing Lucious's words, Lily not only did not reflect, but instead rolled her eyes, as if she had thought of some strange idea.
"Lucious, are you hinting that you want to touch my feet~"
"???"
Lucious looked at the weird Lily and didn't expect that she could say such shocking words.
After a moment of astonishment, Lucious hurriedly threw away Lily's wrist, fearing that he would be misunderstood by the neighbors who got up early to prepare for work.
Then he turned around and walked towards the corridor of the residential building.
Lily saw this and hurriedly chased after him.
"Don't go, don't go, you haven't answered my question yet!"
"Don't follow me, I'm afraid mental illness will be contagious."
"Hehe, you don't even dare to look at me head-on, and you still say you don't have a crush!"
"…as long as you are happy."
Lily looked at Lucious who was speechless, her eyes looked like crescents and she looked very cute.
So... you still haven't answered me, hehe.
Luo City No. 1 Middle School, at the school gate.
"Lucious, what have you been playing along the way? I see you have been playing all the way."
Lily lowered her head and looked at Lucious's mobile phone, looking very curious.
Although they were childhood sweethearts, Lucious was not prepared to tell anyone about "Real Cultivation of Immortality."
So he replied calmly: "It's a stand-alone game, just for killing time."
"You're already a senior in high school, do you still have time to play games?"
"...This is a way for me to practice."
Hearing this, Lily shook her head arrogantly, her black and smooth ponytail dangling.
"Lucious, I'm not telling you. You can lie to others with some words, but don't lie to yourself."
"I was deceived by you. It doesn't matter if I believe it. I'll be happy and get over it."
"But if you deceive yourself, you won't be able to laugh during the college entrance examination."
Lucious looked at Lily with a smirk on his face, not knowing that she was using the topic to deliberately 'beat' him.
So he put away his phone and said expressionlessly: "Well, what you said makes sense, but I suddenly remembered that when someone was six years old and went out to dry out the quilt, it seemed that he accidentally knocked over the water glass."
"But which serious kid would drink water on the bed? It doesn't matter if you lie to others, but if..."
"Ah!!!"
Seeing that Lucious was going to talk about her dark history, Lily hurriedly covered his mouth with her hands and suppressed her chest.
Lucious, on the other hand, kept struggling, trying to fight back and regain his glory.
Back and forth, the two started pulling each other at the school gate.
While you want to tell the other party's dark history, you don't want the other party to tell yours.
Hurt each other, this is the eternal theme between childhood sweethearts.
It's just that the mutual pull between them as 'friends' has completely changed in the eyes of other students around them.
You must know that Lily is not only outstanding in appearance, but she is also a student in the Tiandao Class of No. 1 Middle School and is extremely popular.
And what about Lucious?
His talent is average, his family background is average, and his cultivation is at the bottom even in the humane class.
Only that handsome appearance can be used.
But can you be a good-looking person? At least most people think they can't.
After all, in the world of the Immortal Alliance, only cultivation is king.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, Lily and Lucious are just as different as each other and should not be together.
Looking at the 'intimacy' between the two of them as if no one else was around, some were so envious that they felt sore, while others were so jealous that their teeth itched, as if someone had stabbed them in the heart.
And the person who hated him so much was Lily's fellow Tiandao classmate - Charles.
"Student Lily, why are you still playing with this trash from the humanities class? Be careful he leads you astray."
Lucious and Lily, who were playing around, immediately stopped and turned to look in the direction of the sound.
Lucious looked at Charles, who made no secret of his hostility towards him, and felt very calm in his heart.
If there is anyone in No. 1 Middle School in the city who dislikes him the most, it is definitely Charles.
Because his admiration for Lily is almost universally known.
The relationship between himself and Lily is also well known to everyone.
As a result, he naturally wanted to step on him and get the upper hand more than once, especially when Lily was around.
But every time Lucious didn't need to do anything, someone would stand up.
"Charles, what do you mean? You'd better take back what you just said, otherwise don't blame me for the mock test in three days."
"One more thing, I'm not familiar with you, so don't talk to us if you have nothing to do."
"Lucious, let's go and ignore this idiot."
Lucious looked at Charles, who was speechless by Lily, and secretly shook his head.
Why bother, it happens every time.
For some reason, Charles just liked to humiliate himself in front of Lily.
It seemed that only this could bring out his excellence and Lucious's own waste, making Lily look at him with admiration.
But what he didn't know was that his relationship with Lily was much more than childhood sweethearts.
Without him ten years ago, Lily might have become a withered skeleton in the ruins.
Moreover, why Lucious became an orphan, and why he only had low-grade spiritual roots, are all related to what happened back then.
Lily owed him a lot.
Although Lucious didn't take what happened back then too seriously, Lily obviously didn't think so.
She always felt an unspeakable debt to Lucious.
Therefore, whenever Charles wanted to suppress Lucious, Lily would always stand up immediately.
Even if she didn't know it at the first time, as long as she knew it, she would definitely find a place for Lucious in the future.
The fact that Lucious was able to live so comfortably in No. 1 Middle School had something to do with Lily.
After all, everyone knows one thing.
That is, you can offend Lily herself in No. 1 Middle School, because she generally has no temper and will not take it to heart.
But if you offend Lucious, Lily will remember you forever, and will help Lucious get it back as soon as she gets the chance.
Who doesn't know that behind Lucious, who is at the top of the human class, stands a talented girl who is among the top three in the Tiandao class.
Only a stubborn and hormonal person like Charles would try to challenge this again and again, never getting tired of it.
Looking at the two people leaving, Charles secretly clenched his fists with firm eyes.
"Lily, I will use practical actions to prove who is the most suitable person for you."
He was going to give Lucious, the top student in the Humanity class, a small shock in the Tiandao class in the mock exam!
Let Lily see clearly the true nature of Lucious who is strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
But what Charles didn't expect was that a certain man who was addicted to gaming was also planning to show off his strength in the mock exam.
Give everyone a little plug-in shock.
This mock test is destined to be unstable.
