Chapter 132

"How about... letting her stay at our house for a few days?" Elysia asked tentatively.

Liliya hugged Elysia tighter, her big eyes blinking rapidly, looking quite bright and even glistening with tears, making her look extremely pitiful.

An Yu shook her head. "One thing at a time. Liliya's dizziness just now was because she was born weak and sickly, it had nothing to do with being beaten up."

Moreover, the fact that Liliya, who is inherently weak and sickly, can still be beaten up by Bronya all day long already shows that Bronya is no pushover.

However, as she grew up, Liliya seemed to have fewer mischievous ideas.

Liliya coughed violently twice at just the right moment, probably because she wasn't wearing enough clothes. An Yu sighed and draped her coat over her shoulders.

"Let's take her home first; the boss will come to pick her up in a bit."

Liliya's little mind started working again, and she realized she would need to run to the park soon.

Although she knew she shouldn't trouble the adults, Liliya felt she wasn't a child anymore and shouldn't always listen to her older sister.

Elysia also draped her coat over Liliya, leaving herself only in a cashmere sweater, which thankfully was thick and warm.

"Little guy, you have to be a good boy and listen to me."

Before Elysia could finish speaking softly, she suddenly sighed. Something was wrong. Why was Bronya's sister constantly refreshing in her house?

"Liliya will be a good girl, Elysia- neechan~"

"Don't abandon Liliya..."

Liliya, wrapped in two coats, felt her body temperature rise rapidly. She sniffed her red nose; the temperature had dropped drastically these past few days. Just a few days ago, she could run around barefoot at home.

Elysia glanced back at the girl twice more.

Somewhat curiously. "How old are you this year?"

It looks so small.

An Yu didn't speed either; he followed slowly behind, unable to hear their conversation, but he was certain they were alright.

Liliya was silent for a moment, seemingly considering her options.

"Is it inconvenient to say?"

Elysia guessed the reason.

A girl's age is indeed a secret, and she can understand that.

"Liliya ..." Liliya's voice was barely audible. "She's the same age as An Yu ..."

Elysia: "..."

She looked at the blue, fluffy little thing wrapped up like a dumpling on the back of the electric scooter, trying its best to look young, and was speechless for a moment.

Then why are you pretending to be so young and innocent with me?

Volume 1: Chapter 198-196 Dude!

Elysia was sometimes really helpless. If Liliya were really an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, she would accept it.

Kids are naturally mischievous. Even the most outrageous behavior, as long as it's not too outrageous, is just considered being overly lively, which actually makes them seem a bit innocent and cute.

But you're 25 this year... I... you... temple

Elysia held her forehead and chuckled softly, a laugh tinged with an indescribable weariness. She didn't know what to say anymore, and felt helpless, wanting to call the police.

"Sister Elysia?"

"Don't call me 'sister,' I might have to call you 'sister' instead."

Elysia's voice was exceptionally calm, like a stagnant pool of water, without the slightest ripple.

She suddenly understood why Xiaoyu was so ruthless. The kids on the Anti-Entropy side were all very capable, and if you weren't ruthless, you could easily be led astray.

"Ugh~" Liliya let out a soft whimper, like a small animal.

"Stop trying to be cute, my life is already full of adorable characters." Wu

Griseo, and... Anna, whom she was reluctant to admit, Black Seele barely counts as half, and a whole bunch of Anti-Entropy people.

Yes, the average height of the Anti-Entropy is around 1.55 meters, with most being quite short at 1.49 meters. As for why the average height is 1.55 meters...

Planck was 172 cm tall, the same height as Mobius; Schrödinger 161 cm; Einstein, Tesla, and most of the younger generation of Anti-Entropy were all short, at 149 cm; and Xing was said to be only 148 cm.

"I'm sorry, Liliya has always been like this since she was little, and everyone's used to Liliya."

Elysia glanced at her indifferently.

The little girl had her head down, with soft, blue-green hair falling across her forehead, cleverly obscuring her eyes and making it impossible to see her true expression.

"I just want to disobey my family this once and see the world on my own." Her voice trailed off. "Instead of finally running away from home and then having to listen to my Sister Bronya."

She raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eye, her shoulders trembling slightly as she sobbed. Fortunately, she kept her head down, an angle she had carefully calculated to make her fake crying look much more realistic.

So you came to see Xiaoyu?

Elysia spoke softly. The reason she had been so gentle with Liliya was simply because the other woman looked extremely petite, not tall, with neither a prominent bust nor a curvy figure; the only word to describe her was "petite."

She really thought Liliya was a little child!

"Well, although Liliya has indeed wanted to embark on a grand, spontaneous adventure these past few years..."

"But Sister Elysia might not know, Liliya's physical condition is very poor. She's the type who gets dizzy and lightheaded after even slightly strenuous exercise."

Compared to Sister Bronya's strictness, An Yu is quite easygoing. He's most used to cleaning up the mess left by others when they cause trouble, looking utterly helpless.

Liliya needs a friend like that! She can have fun to her heart's content then. Anyway, An Yu will definitely handle it well. If she really can't handle it, Liliya will come over and obediently take the scolding.

Perhaps this is why An Yu didn't want to stay in North America a few years ago.

"Aren't you afraid that if you faint, An Yu will take all the blame..."

"Miss Liliya! You're frail and sickly, you should go get treatment."

Elysia sighed. Sometimes she thought that the environment of Schicksal, where the capable rise to the top, wasn't so bad. Useless people could just stay at home, eat and wait to die, and not interfere with the actions of those who were capable.

Besides, if you keep doing this, aren't you afraid An Yu will slap you so hard your face will be stuck to the wall?

"It can't be cured..." Liliya leaned back against the seat in the back of the tram, her voice detached.

"Liliya's body is very weak, probably because she was abandoned back then, which damaged her very foundation."

Moreover, as abandoned orphans, their bodies are already prone to congenital deficiencies, not to mention the damage they suffered during the abandonment process.

So in the game created by Sister Bronya, she becomes a high-ranking Fusion Warrior, fusing with Aposh's genes to become the most dazzling Vodka Girl. The only side effect is that she is a little sleepy, since she is already quite sleepy anyway.

After confirming there were no cars ahead, Elysia glanced at Liliya again. The little girl's expression was normal, and she didn't seem sad at all... Strange, wasn't she wiping away tears just now? Why aren't her eyes red at all?

"Can't Anti-Entropy cure this?"

Elysia's voice softened slightly.

"Congenital genetic defects can indeed be improved, but Liliya doesn't like that kind of life where she's completely controlled all day long and lives in the hospital."

Moreover, Liliya is currently simply frail and sickly, with delayed development and a mild case of anemia.

"Oh..."

Elysia didn't say anything more.

"Then I'll tell Xiaoyu not to bully you anymore. You're so weak; if he hits you, you'll probably be in pain for days."

She cautiously suggested that for someone with such health issues, every act of special care could easily have negative consequences.

Liliya:...

That's absolutely right!!!

She had taken a hard punch from An Yu in North America, and it took her several days to recover. During those days, her vision was somewhat blurred, which terrified the arrogant An Yu, who thought the punch had caused her internal injuries.

For several days in a row, the other person stayed close to her, but Rozaliya ignored him for several days. It was during those days that An Yu and Xing became somewhat familiar with each other, after all... no friendship without a fight.

"It's okay, we're all brothers!"

Liliya stretched her slender arm out in front of her and gave a thumbs-up.

It was a bit silly, but Rozaliya liked it. So, she got used to it.

"You guys have a really good relationship."

Elysia really wanted to say, "You guys are so versatile, but Liliya isn't a boy."

But Liliya, Black Seele, and An Yu gave her the feeling of being close male friends. No matter how much they fooled around, it didn't affect their relationship, and even after being cold to each other, a phone call would bring them back together.

"After all, Liliya has health problems."

Elysia thought Liliya was about to get sentimental, but Liliya sighed deeply and said, "I was originally thinking of letting An Yu have some fun before I die, but under his care, my health is actually getting better and better."

Elysia:...

?

???

"Liliya was very weak back then. When she was little, she could still play around with Anzu, but as she got older, she was mostly bullied by Anzu."

"An Yu, probably because he felt bad about punching me, took extra care of me during that time. If Xing comes looking for trouble again, he'll probably beat her up in return."

"But he probably never dreamed --"

Liliya deliberately dragged out her words, like a little mouse that had stolen some oil. "After being cared for by him like a fragile object for so long, Liliya, who was originally delicate and seemed to be nearing the end of her life... not only did her health not deteriorate, but it improved day by day."

This was truly unexpected; even Liliya herself hadn't anticipated it.

"I heard that when he finally got my medical report the last time, his face turned black."

Elysia's expression grew even more somber.

"Didn't Xiaoyu slap you in anger back then?"

"Well, Liliya's health is slowly improving, but she still can't withstand a serious slap from him."

Liliya shook her head. "He kept muttering 'murder is against the law, murder is against the law' for several minutes, and that was the end of it."

Volume 1: Chapter 199-197 Genetic Defect? We'll finish that in a dream.

Back in her apartment complex, Elysia suddenly sighed.

"Xiaoyu! You've had it tough too!"

What kind of monsters and demons are these "Anti-Entropy" people?!

How did Cocolia raise her child?!

An Yu was slightly confused. Actually... you're having a harder time than me, sis. I've already gotten through the tough times, and now I have a girlfriend at home and a bunch of good buddies I can beat up whenever I want.

Liliya jumped out of the car behind him, then symbolically rubbed her dry eyes. After saying so much, she was genuinely feeling tired.

"An Yu ~"

Her voice was soft and weak, carrying a natural sense of despondency.

"Tell me, what price do I have to offer for you to help me keep this from Sister Bronya, and also... sneak that idiot Rozaliya out with me?"

"Hmm!"

Liliya felt as if she had been struck by an invisible arrow. She took two steps back, clutching her chest tightly with one hand, her face filled with the frustration of being hit by a huge blow.

Compared to Bronya, who was exceptionally talented in every aspect except for her short stature when she was young, Liliya really couldn't find any redeeming qualities in herself.

"As expected," she glanced at An Yu with a resentful look, "You were ultimately bought off by Bronya."

In the past Rozaliya would stubbornly argue with her, wondering what if An Yu liked Seele? After all, White Seele looked soft and cute, much more likable than Bronya, that assertive girl.

An Yu crouched down, extended her hand, and under Elysia's questioning gaze, Liliya hesitantly raised her small face and placed her slender palm on it, as if she had been invited to dance.

Then... smack

An Yu reached out her hand again. Liliya, covering her red hand, turned away indignantly and approached. An Yu lifted her up with one hand.

After doing all this, An Yu explained to her older sister, "Liliya is a very clever girl, not to mention that she's about to be escorted home; all sorts of tricks will definitely come up with her."

"In response to this situation, Bronya, Mei, and I have all summarized this set of experiences."

Liliya, who is delicate and frail, has recently been inexplicably recovering despite her congenital genetic defects, much like how in the Honkai IP, fusing with Honkai Beast completes one's genetic makeup...

However, An Yu wasn't confident enough to claim that she was among the top-tier in biology, so she didn't delve into it further.

Getting back to the point, for the delicate and frail Liliya, lifting this guy into the air would solve most problems.
