Kevin: I Can't Just Stand By
"Maple, let's play that one first!" Elysia pointed to the roller coaster not far away.
"Okay." Zhu Yufeng nodded. Since he had already "agreed" to let Elysia play with him all day, he would definitely let her play whatever she wanted.
While waiting in line, Elysia whispered, "Actually, I've always wanted to spend a day with you alone, but I never seem to have the chance."
Zhu Yufeng thought about it and figured it was like this.
"I remember you and Lilith took a vacation together, didn't you?" Elysia asked again. "What did you two do back then?"
Zhu Yufeng thought for a moment, "Which vacation are you talking about?"
Elysia: "..."
Very impressive, as expected of Lilith, she has never disappointed me.
Seeing Elysia's "baby's unhappy" expression, Zhu Yufeng couldn't help but laugh. He said, "Basically, the place we go to most often is the Ferris wheel, because she said that the Ferris wheel at sunset is the most romantic."
"Hmm...just like I thought." Elysia nodded in agreement.
"The earliest time was when we went to the amusement park for the first time. She asked me to use her as a training ground for pursuing you." Zhu Yufeng smiled helplessly. "At that time, she was actually the one who encouraged me to find a way to pursue you. She even prepared a form to give me a rating for my performance."
"And then? How much did you get?" Elysia had a rough idea of what was going on. Perhaps Lilith didn't like Feng at first, so she tried all sorts of ways to encourage Feng to pursue her. Later, she realized that she liked Feng too, so she simply took the initiative to pursue him.
Moreover, after meeting Lilith, Feng never pursued him!
Ugh... I feel nauseous!
"Zero." Zhu Yufeng twitched the corner of his mouth, then told Elysia what had happened.
He still remembered Lilith's dumbfounded expression at that time. "You... how did you do that? I'm such a pretty girl standing here, and you just stand here doing nothing and saying nothing?"
He looked at Lilith with a puzzled expression. "Should I say something?"
Lilith said earnestly, "Look how bright the sun is now, shouldn't you hold an umbrella for me or buy me a drink or something?"
He said, "But I didn't bring an umbrella, and besides, they only sell cold drinks here. Drinking cold drinks on such a hot day isn't good for your health..."
Lilith: "... You deserve to be single!"
He said, "That's where you're wrong. After all, I'm still your boss. How could you let your boss hold an umbrella for you and buy you drinks? And you even dared to curse your boss so viciously?"
Lilith: "..."
He got so angry that he had a heart attack.
Elysia burst out laughing. She could imagine how frantic Lilith must have been back then; she would have gone crazy too.
Was Feng even more dense than Kevin back then?
"After all, I've never pursued a girl before," Zhu Yufeng said with a wry smile. "Later, Lilith did teach me a lot, such as cooking, dressing, and getting ready to go out..." At least he now knows how to read people's expressions, but Kevin remains unchanged.
Elysia: "..."
Thinking back to that scene, I suddenly felt a pang of sadness.
She decided to change the subject. "I remember you went to every team-building event Kevin organized, right? Although Kevin had already started to adopt a cool and aloof persona by then, he was still a sunny and cheerful guy back then, so his team-building events must have been pretty good, right?"
"Hmm, a group of people sat around the table eating noodles." Zhu Yufeng thought for a moment, "I left after I finished eating, and he didn't say much. Well... if I had to say, everyone was eating noodles quietly, with only a few words exchanged occasionally."
He still remembers meeting Eden on his way to a free meal. Eden greeted him warmly and tried to talk to him about the fight against the Honkai. After all, Eden had just joined the Fire Moth and was unfamiliar with many things. He also remembers the scene of a group of people eating noodles after arriving at the scene, which made Eden a little nervous.
In fact, he had already warned Eden: "You should not have any expectations for this team building activity."
But Eden thought that Kevin was the face of the Fire Moth, so even if the team building he organized was bad, it couldn't be too bad, right?
After several such encounters, Eden refused to come back no matter what.
"Eating... eating noodles?" Elysia was laughing so hard she could barely stand up straight. There were just too many funny moments. A group of Fusion Warrior sitting together eating noodles, and Feng Juxing even finished eating and left...
Zhu Yufeng originally wanted to say that the Thirteen Fallen Angels had team building activities after each battle, but he wasn't in charge of that; he was only responsible for cooking.
Lilith usually takes charge, but occasionally when Lilith's unavailable, either Astaroth or Rovoc takes over. Overall, the atmosphere is alright.
Astaroth always sat quietly in the corner reading, Nahamah and Beelzebub, two men who could drink without getting drunk, were playing drinking games, while Rovoc and Mostima chatted about girly topics. Lilith occasionally joined in, mostly sitting next to him and talking about mission-related matters while also flirting with him. Esmodius was teaching Xila to read and various dining etiquette, as well as Belphgor and Admiralty's daily debates about things he couldn't understand at all. Baal and Abaddon were just staring at each other and arm wrestling, with the loser getting the other's dad for a week.
Thinking back on it, my life back then... was actually pretty good.
Elysia couldn't stop laughing for a while. Seeing Zhu Yufeng's expression, she guessed that he might be thinking about the team building activity of the Thirteen Fallen Angels. The team building activity of the Thirteen Fallen Angels was also a relatively popular topic in the Fire Moth. Some people said that their team building activity was to discuss and review the battle against the Honkai, some people said that they would hold evil rituals, and some people said that it was just an ordinary team building activity.
But Elysia wouldn't ask. She didn't have any masochistic tendencies, and whatever happened in Lilith's presence was something she definitely didn't want to hear.
"Actually, I'd really like to organize a team-building event for the Fourteen Schicksal of Fire Chaser," Elysia said with a hint of regret. "But back then, if I were here, you definitely wouldn't come, right?"
"Indeed." Zhu Yufeng nodded.
Elysia pouted, "Couldn't you be a little more tactful? I'll cry!"
Zhu Yufeng squinted at Elysia, then revealed a mischievous smile, "Do you need some tissues if you're crying? I brought toilet paper this time, wasn't that thoughtful?"
Elysia: "..."
Feng's expression was definitely intentional, absolutely!
I don't want to talk to him anymore, hmph!
"Ah, it's our turn...you, we're together." Zhu Yufeng said, showing the ticket to the staff. Although Elysia turned her head away from him, she still honestly took his hand.
Zhu Yufeng: "..."
Well, Elysia is much more active than before, but that makes him feel guilty.
It's increasingly hard to imagine what my daily life will be like after Lilith joins the Fire Moth.
Forget it, let's just give up and let it go. Let the problems that come to them be their own headaches.
Kosma and Disaster, who were secretly following behind the two, were speechless.
Wow, what kind of development is this?
Kosma frowned, thinking to himself:
(Feng just told me yesterday that he kissed Lilith... No, I was too flustered at the time. Thinking about it carefully, Feng Gen is not the type to be passionate, so it must have been Lilith was passionate. But even so... isn't his relationship with Elysia a bit too... well, after all, it's Elysia. Maybe she came up with some plan...)
Disaster was thinking, "Could it be that Maple actually confessed to Elysia before, and Elysia ran away because she was shy? Hmm... Little Pardo must be very sad. No, I have to find a way to help Little Pardo win Maple back right now..."
"Let's ride the roller coaster one more time, Amo!"
Kosma: "!"
No!
Kosma's objections were ignored, and he was dragged by Disaster to have his ticket checked again and enter the venue.
They didn't notice that there were two other people following behind them.
Rewind a few minutes.
Kevin and Sue got off the Ferris wheel. Kevin scribbled in his notebook and muttered to himself, "Guo Xin, I'm still not very good at this kind of theoretical approach. I'll have to take Feng Shang with me to scout it out later... Hmm?"
Kevin saw a pink-haired girl pulling a helpless-looking boy in the distance, and then a blonde girl ran over with a speechless-looking boy.
Kevin: "???"
The one in front was Elysia and Maple, right? Could it be that Elysia thought about it all night and finally figured it out, and is now just going to force herself on me?
He couldn't just stand by and do nothing! Since Lilith wasn't around, he had to look after Feng for Lilith!
"Su, let's follow them!" Kevin said without saying a word and took off running.
Su Gang snapped out of his daze and saw Disaster running alongside Kosma. He thought Kevin's attention had finally shifted from Maple's lifelong happiness to Kosma's lifelong happiness, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least Kosma were fine, and Kevin wouldn't become Kaiwen one day.
So he immediately followed Kevin.
