Chapter 62 The Taste of Embracing

  The law's mind is a complete blank.

  Lewell's expression was not soft and gentle at all, but it was that already familiar stern and sharp lines, yet at this moment, they were tinged with a hint of softness, making the soldier's steel-like contours also carry a bit of solemnity.

  It's precisely this sincerity that makes Lyu have no choice but to leave directly to escape or pretend to forget, but instead feels that he should think carefully about what his thoughts are.

  Lewell's kiss was light and refreshing, with a familiar taste that brought a soothing breath, making it impossible for Lut to feel any disgust.

  "I never thought I'd like someone, let alone a man. But I don't dislike this kiss." Llewellyn's eyes were fixed, with a resolute and determined flavor.

  "If you don't mind the kiss either," Llewellyn said with a slightly unnatural and therefore somewhat stiff tone, "then maybe we can spend some time together and see how it feels."

  Lü fell silent for a moment, ultimately unable to bring himself to turn around and leave.

  "Can I think about it first?"

  Lewell nodded, "Tomorrow, give me an answer."

  "Well, good night."

  Lewell stood at the door and watched for a while, his footsteps slightly disordered, with a faint smile on his eyebrows.

  A sleepless night.

  The next day. Lü arrived at Leviel's house with two black eye circles, and just as his hand was about to knock on the door, it swung open.

  Livel naturally took over the bento box that Ritsu was holding, his face expressionless but it could be seen that he wasn't as calm as he seemed on the surface.

  "What is the result of your consideration."

  "I'm still not sure if I have different thoughts about you. If we try to be together and don't feel that way, then I'll withdraw."

  Lewell's expression didn't show any disappointment or worry, he simply said "oh" and then his dark eyes looked at Rux with determination and confidence.

  "After all the fuss, it's still just one thing. If you agree, then agree, why be so evasive."

  "Is this how you treat someone you like? So rude."

  Livial's face showed a faint smile as he reached out and pulled Lu's arm, saying "Follow me to a place" without looking back.

  Lü's first reaction wasn't to wonder where Lyle was taking him, but rather that Lyle could laugh too. This guy had already been caught laughing by him several times before. Being with himself, was it really this fun? Lü didn't know what Lyle was thinking, but he couldn't help but say that his mood had also become more upbeat. This was a bright and clear mood that he had never experienced before when he was with anyone else.

  Leweil brought Lü to the same wilderness as last time. However, he didn't stop at the roadside, but instead pulled Lü through the endless fields, this vast and prosperous land, giving Lü a feeling of being surrounded by nature as he walked through it.

  Only paying attention to walking, the foreign teacher was thinking about something, when Leviel stopped, Lü still habitually walked forward.

  Lewell's voiceless grasp of Lute, "It has arrived."

  "You little fool."

  Lv felt a bit embarrassed and quickly withdrew his steps, turning to casually scan this hidden place.

  "This place was discovered by me unintentionally. There is a spring that I don't know where it comes from, and the trees are lush. Since I came here, when there's nothing to do, I'll come here."

  Lü thought to himself, no wonder sometimes he searched the entire training grounds and couldn't find you, it turned out you were here.

  "Was it discovered after passing by here with me that time?"

  Lewell nodded slightly after a brief pause.

  This place can accommodate about ten people, surrounded by sturdy and dense ancient trees. The slightly shallow but clean and clear spring water in the middle brings a touch of spirituality to this small place. It has to be admitted that Rivell really found a place that makes people feel comfortable.

  Lü didn't know if Livial still had a cleanliness habit in this all-natural place, so she simply sat down on the large stone by the spring, propping up her chin with a smile as she looked at Livial.

  Lewell slightly narrowed his eyes and walked over to sit down beside Lut.

  "What's wrong, don't you mind the dust here?"

  Lewell rested his head on his left arm and said, "There's no such thing as dust here. It's only where people are that it gets dirty."

  She looked at him with a slanted gaze, "So neither of us counts as human?"

  Lewell stared at Lute until Lute felt a bit uneasy, then Lewell spoke up. "I don't care about myself, as for you, I'm the one who brought you here, so why would I mind?"

  Upon hearing these somewhat ambiguous yet uncomfortable words, Lu Xiang simply closed his mouth and lay down, gazing at the sky fragmented by the broad or narrow leaves.

  This is a peaceful place, making people have an illusion that the future will always be as beautiful as it is now.

  I don't remember hearing about what kind of person Llewellyn liked before meeting him, nor have I heard that he was particularly close to anyone. Apart from the Llewellyn class, others simply admired and praised his title as "the strongest human", but no one mentioned what kind of person he was, whether he had a favorite thing to do, or whether he was satisfied with his current life.

  Such people are often lonely.

  Thinking of this, Lü felt that perhaps Lewell's feelings for him were just an illusion created by having someone by his side and not wanting to leave.

  "No."

  Lewell's voice pulled back Lut's chaotic thoughts. Had he unknowingly spoken his mind out loud?

  "No," Llewellyn turned around, looking calmly at Lyra, "it's not just that I like having someone by my side."

  Lü also felt that he was thinking too much, Lewell, how could there be such a feeling of indifference? He is different. On the contrary, maybe it's just that he doesn't want Lewell to leave.

  It's not that you're lonely because there's no one around, but rather because there is someone who can appear when you are feeling lonely and always be within reach.

  That's great.

  Watching Lut fall into a relieved and relaxed smile, Riviel slightly softened the lines on his face, gazed quietly for a while, then slowly leaned down to gently kiss him.

  Perhaps it was the gentle breeze that made him too tender, Lü Wang gazed into Leviel's profound eyes and subconsciously responded.

  Lewell's eyes darkened even more, deepening the kiss.

  The uneven branches are adorned with deep and shallow leaves that gently sway, leading to the soft and flickering light, the scorching yet warm sunlight casts on the embracing couple, creating a peaceful yet vibrant pattern.

  With a faint scent of grass.

  "This is the first time I've felt this way, and once it's started, I won't give up easily." Llewellyn's face was calm, but with a power that made one listen quietly.

  "I think I like you." Even if he said something that didn't fit his usual image at all, Llewellyn was just as confident.

  "So what is your answer."

  With a bewildered smile, she stared at Llewellyn's intense gaze, "If I didn't like someone... how could I have kissed him for the second time."

  Lewell's eyes widened slightly, and the corners of his mouth curved up slowly. The light casting from behind him blurred the sharp edges of his face, rendering it soft and hazy, and for a moment, he seemed lost in thought.

  Next was Llew's complete and thorough embrace, which warmed the soul of Ryo, making his soul seem to tremble slightly from this warmest of hugs.

  This silent embrace was shrouded in the halo of nature, covering all the swaying shadows of trees. Silence is more powerful than sound.

  People can't predict an unknown future, but what's most important now is that when we want to be together, we can be together.

  Livel had never felt this way before, he didn't know if this feeling was the emotion he had never understood before, but at this moment the desire to smile was too strong, he followed his own thoughts, and his lips slightly curved upwards, smiling faintly.

  A lifetime is neither long nor short, just enough for one person, without being tired of it.

  "Make me some midnight snacks, Lü."

  "Good."

  ————————————————————————————

  When the law appeared in the kitchen, Mei Qian hung a mysterious and curious smile and asked, "Hey, Lv, looking at your face so rosy and spirited, is something good happening?"

  "Whatever, don't guess on your own. Alright, help me peel the eggplant."

  Mei Qian gazed at Lv with a pretended profound expression for half a day, then suddenly smiled and turned to work. Lv didn't ask Mei Qian why she stopped talking again, but instead focused on her work as much as possible. Lai Wei'er sleeps very late every day, so it's better to make something refreshing for him to eat.

  Thinking of this, Lü thought of the unusual Lewell just now, slightly pursed his lips, suppressing the tendency to rise, but still brought up a shallow arc.

  On the other side, Mei Qian, who had been watching Lu, was stunned for a moment before regaining her composure. She couldn't tell whether she was more happy or sad, shaking off the tangled thoughts in her mind, unwilling to think too much about it. Lu now had someone to be with, and of course, Mei Qian was delighted for her, feeling relieved as well. But when she thought about returning alone to her original world, without Lu, without anyone to accompany her, and no one to comfort her when she felt down, Mei Qian suddenly felt an uncontrollable stinging sensation in her eyes.

  She just can't bear to part with it.

  She just didn't want to be so lonely anymore.

  So Lin Xiao, you must be happy.

  Mei took a light sniff of her nose, gently patted her own face, and made an effort to put on a smile again. She turned around and spoke to Lv in the most nonchalant tone.

  "Xiang Lin, I'm leaving now."

  Ritsu woke up from his thoughts and suddenly turned around, looking at Mei Qian with a mixture of surprise and confusion. "Why so sudden?"

  Plum wore a big smile on her face, but her eyes were tinged with a hint of redness.

  "I knew I had to leave at this time when I came. It's just that I didn't tell you. I don't want to see you sad every day before I leave."

  Lu Yu quietly looked at Mei Qian for a while, then walked forward and wrapped Mei Qian's slender body in his arms.

  "Mei Qian, you idiot."

  "If you want to cry, just cry it out, I won't mind."

  "It's okay if I wipe away tears on my clothes, anyway you're just a little fool."

  Mei Qian choked back her sobs for half a day, but finally burst out wailing.

  Lü gently patted Mei Qian's back and slightly raised her head.

  Méi qiǎn, xièxiè nǐ. háiyǒu, duìbùqǐ.

  Translation: Sorry, thank you. Also, sorry.

  You are still that penniless little sister in my heart who needs company, but I'm sorry, I won't be able to accompany you back to your original world.

  It's not possible, and also can't let go.

  Livial is now the only reason I'm staying in this world. The system hasn't appeared for a long time, and probably next time it appears will be when I leave to head to the next world.

  So, sorry.

  ——————————————————————————————

  Knocking on the door, looking at the slightly tired Lewell between his eyebrows, smiling and putting the bento box in his hand on the table in front of him.

  "Hey, lazy Llewellyn-kun, your midnight snack."

  Leweil didn't look at the exquisite dishes in front of him, but instead stared at Lü for a while, reached out and pulled Lü to his side, and kissed him.
