As she spoke, her voice trembled slightly, seemingly carrying some unspeakable struggle: "So I started to think... Perhaps sometimes, we should also learn to accept, rather than simply resist."
Li Feng immediately became alert: "Wait, what's this rhythm? She's not going to do some 'midnight confession,' is she? This is going to be troublesome!"
However, his worries weren't over. Lelith in the closet finally couldn't hold back. She felt that if this continued, she probably wouldn't be able to get out of the closet until tomorrow morning.
Bang——!
Suddenly the closet was kicked open by Lelith. Eliette immediately jumped up from the bed like a startled kitten, picking up the table lamp, ready to fight the assassin in the closet.
However, Eliette found that inside the closet was... a curvaceous Drukhari / Dark Aeldari Miss. Instantly, she "understood" everything. It turned out that her true feelings were all... "Sorry! I disturbed you."
With that, Eliette intended to walk out of the room, but she was grabbed by the arm by Li Feng. Eliette's eyes were red at this moment, and even due to intense emotional fluctuations, she, as an Aeldari, felt her soul being torn apart.
Eliette: "Let go of me!"
Li Feng: "Uh... you misunderstood."
Eliette immediately retorted: "What did I misunderstand? You two are already like this..."
At this moment, Lelith immediately said, "Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't do anything..."
"You shut up!" Eliette immediately glared at Lelith, who stood there with her hands spread, looking like an outsider. As Eliette glared angrily at Lelith, the atmosphere in the room became increasingly awkward.
Li Feng looked at the two Aeldari Misses, one so angry her soul was almost shattering, the other looking utterly unconcerned. He could only take a deep breath and decide to personally "clean up the mess."
"Ahem!" Li Feng cleared his throat, sat up from the bed, and put on a serious expression,
"Alright, Eliette, listen to me... Things aren't as complicated as you think."
Eliette immediately glared at him: "Oh? Then explain why she popped out of your closet?"
Lelith snorted softly from the side, leaning against the closet with her arms crossed:
"I'd like to hear how you're going to make up an excuse, Li Feng."
Her tone was full of mockery, seemingly completely unconcerned about how suspicious her recent actions were.
Li Feng rubbed his forehead helplessly:
"Please, Lelith hid in there herself! She was telling me a story about Chagatai just now, and then you suddenly knocked on the door. She panicked, thinking that if she didn't explain clearly, she might be misunderstood as doing something strange, so she... uh, hid."
"Chagatai? Is that Jaghatai Khan I saw in the palace before? The Dark King's son?" Eliette asked, looking confused.
Li Feng immediately said as if granted a great pardon: "Yes! She's Chagatai's... ex-girlfriend? Anyway, she came to ask me about Chagatai's whereabouts. The reason she and I hid just now was actually... a subconscious reaction?"
Lelith shrugged again: "It's true I hid myself, but this scene really is... Speaking of which, my dear White relative, you just secretly climbed into his bed and hugged him there. Don't you all pride yourselves on asceticism? What, more proactive than us 'dark' ones?"
These words were like adding fuel to the fire, instantly igniting Eliette's fury:
"I, I was... it was because..." She was momentarily speechless, her face as red as a ripe apple. "I just felt safe with him! Is that not allowed?!"
Lelith burst into laughter upon hearing this: "Hahaha, felt safe? Oh my, this is the first time I've heard anyone use such an excuse. I'm very curious... if I hadn't come out, you probably would have been performing your 'inheritance ritual' with him."
"Enough!" Eliette stamped her foot in anger. "I'm too lazy to argue with you! Li Feng, I only came here today because... I just wanted to try to see if, by not suppressing myself, it would be... easier to find inner peace."
"The peace you're talking about, you tried to find it by climbing into my bed?" Li Feng couldn't help but retort, "That method is truly novel."
Eliette covered her face, too ashamed to look at him:
"I, I don't know why I did such a thing! It's all because of this damned place, Commorragh... It's making me not feel like myself!"
Seeing the adorable Eliette almost in tears, Li Feng finally sighed:
"Alright, alright, I understand. This isn't your problem, it's this place's problem. Commorragh really can make people lose control, otherwise, why would it be called the 'City of Corruption'?"
He patted Eliette's shoulder: "You don't need to blame yourself too much, I understand. You just need to adapt to the new environment."
Lelith rolled her eyes from the side: "Tsk, playing the good guy, huh? Who was just mocking me about why I didn't drain Chagatai dry?"
"You shut up too." Li Feng pointed at her. "If you spout any more nonsense, I'll tell... your 'romance' with Chagatai."
Lelith's expression instantly stiffened, and she mumbled: "Who's afraid of whom... but don't spread rumors! Chagatai and I have historical issues."
