Chapter 14: The Rival’s Strange Apology

Come, Lady Li Lu, it’s time to eat…

Sitting at the dining table, Li Lu stared stiffly at the lavish breakfast spread, then looked at Feng Zhiling with dull eyes.

Feng Zhiling wore a slightly short maid outfit and watched Li Lu with a respectful expression.

“Cough, what’s wrong, Lady Li Lu? Why are you looking at me like that… hehe.”

For some reason, Feng Zhiling was acting like a pure, shy girl, but Li Lu felt only fear.

“What Lady Li Lu? What do you mean what’s wrong? I want to ask you what’s wrong with you!” Li Lu slammed the table. “Is there something wrong with your brain? Did you forget what our relationship is?!”

“And… how did you even get in?!”

Li Lu really couldn’t understand. Yesterday this girl had looked at her like an enemy, and today she was acting like a pervert, throwing herself at her.

And how had she gotten in?!

She had locked the door properly last night!

“Lady Li Lu… I came this time because I deeply realize the mistakes I made before, so I wanted to come apologize in person, to offer a humble apology…”

The girl’s tone was sincere, and she lowered her head without hesitation, looking full of sincerity.

But…

“Liar!”

Even though Feng Zhiling looked devout, her little movements had already betrayed her!

“Don’t sneak closer to me. Stay away from me!”

Li Lu gritted her teeth, grabbed Feng Zhiling’s head, and forced her to one side.

Being so close to someone like Feng Zhiling was really uncomfortable!

And besides, she still hadn’t explained how she got in!

“Ugh!” With Li Lu pinching her face, Feng Zhiling could only struggle weakly. “Lady Li Lu, don’t be so heartless.”

But as she struggled, it suddenly turned strange.

“Heh, heheh, but this isn’t bad either… Lady Li Lu’s little hands… guh heheh…”

Feng Zhiling suddenly laughed with a perverted look.

“Eek!” Li Lu trembled all over, and couldn’t help using full strength. “Get away from me!”

Feng Zhiling was pushed away, retreating several meters before stopping. But this time she seemed prepared, so she wasn’t knocked down directly.

“Uu… I got scolded… but Lady Li Lu’s disgusted face is great too, guh heheh.”

Feng Zhiling put on a delicate, weak look and giggled at Li Lu. It made Li Lu feel even more disgusted.

“What are you trying to do?!” Li Lu ground her teeth, slammed the table and stood up, no longer hiding the murderous look in her eyes as she stared straight at Feng Zhiling.

“This time…”

“Don’t tell me you realized your mistakes. You didn’t realize early or late, only after getting taught a lesson did you know what you did before was wrong? Liar!”

Li Lu angrily slapped the table.

Miss Rival had been bullied by her until she was barely human, and now she was supposed to believe she knew she was wrong? What a joke!

Just thinking of Miss Rival’s state made Li Lu furious.

She kicked the chair away, grabbed Feng Zhiling by the collar, and forcefully pinned her against the corner.

“Stop playing dumb. Whether you want revenge or have some scheme, tell me everything clearly.” Li Lu’s arm pressed harder. “You don’t think you can solve the problems between us by acting crazy, do you? If so, get out now.”

Her voice grew colder.

No matter what, she had no intention of putting on some happy comedy with Feng Zhiling.

“…” Feng Zhiling’s expression became pained. Although there was a strange red flush on her cheeks, her expression was very pained. “Li Lu… Lady… I’m sorry.”

“But… I’m serious. I have no other schemes. I came to sincerely apologize.”

Her face was full of devotion and apology, as if she truly understood what her past self had done.

“I know I won’t be forgiven so easily. I’m prepared to spend my whole life atoning, so whether you hit me or scold me, I’ll accept it.”

Feng Zhiling’s tone no longer had that playful feel. It became very, very serious.

And she truly meant it.

Before she passed out yesterday, Feng Zhiling had already realized.

She was bullying a gentle, kind good child.

Li Lu was completely different from the Li Lu in rumors. No matter how you looked at her, she couldn’t do those terrible things.

If you asked Feng Zhiling why she thought so…

Because yesterday Li Lu hadn’t abandoned her and run.

She didn’t know how Li Lu had managed to come out of the monster’s hands unscathed and protect her.

But that didn’t matter.

Facing the monster, Li Lu could have run, but she didn’t.

It was the purest return of good for evil, and it made Feng Zhiling feel utterly ashamed.

She had treated Li Lu like that, but after the revenge ended, Li Lu didn’t choose to abandon her. That made Feng Zhiling’s guilt reach its peak.

“…”

Li Lu narrowed her eyes. Feng Zhiling’s red eyes were full of sincerity, with not a trace of falseness.

She felt like she might have misunderstood something?

She didn’t know what was going on, but Feng Zhiling seemed to truly know she was wrong.

But… even if she really had come to apologize, this attitude was too strange.

When being hit, she not only didn’t try to fight back, she leaned into the fist, and her face was strangely red…

Tsk, forget earlier, this girl’s expression now was weird too!

How could she be suffocating and yet look happy at the same time?

This girl… a masochist?!

“Even so, why do I feel like whether I hit you or scold you, it’s a reward for you?”

Li Lu pressed hard against Feng Zhiling’s neck and brought her face close to observe her reaction.

“Guh…”

Although the pressure increased, Feng Zhiling’s expression didn’t look like she was dying. It looked like she was enjoying it.

“Hey!”

“Cough… cough cough… you found out… heheh…”

Feng Zhiling admitted with a silly smile. She had never hidden it, really.

After Li Lu beat her yesterday, something inside her awakened.

Heheh… Lady Li Lu’s soft, fragrant little fists… fists that could hit her six times a second…

Feng Zhiling’s head was full of this, even in her dreams she was being tormented by Li Lu.

“Tsk… disgusting.”

Li Lu was silent for a moment, then finally removed her arm and let Feng Zhiling free.

Mainly because if she kept pressing, it felt like Feng Zhiling would really enjoy it.

“Cough, Li, Lady Li Lu, do you believe me now?”

Feng Zhiling nearly fell when she lost support, but her magical girl constitution let her barely stand straight.

She didn’t ask if Li Lu had forgiven her, because she wasn’t that childish.

“Let’s not talk about all that for now.” Li Lu’s voice was cold. She righted the chair and sat down, crossed her legs, and slightly raised her eyes. “You still haven’t explained how you got in.”
