Because there was still class the next morning, Rob carried Lolo back to school after applying the medicine. The two of them didn't speak on the way back, and they tacitly didn't mention the confession. The feeling of the girl lying on the young man's back was very familiar. She remembered that night in Sethevia Port, when he seemed to have carried her on his back like this. The two of them walked through one empty street after another, as if they were the only two people left in the world. At that time, Lolo thought how great it would be if time could stop at that moment … It was also that night that she finally decided to share her secret with him.
But even now, Lolo still didn't know if what she did was right or wrong. She sometimes envied the other girls in school. Each of them had someone they liked in their hearts, and they didn't hide their feelings in front of that person at all. Lolo's petite body carried too many burdens that didn't belong to her at her age, so she didn't dare to hope that she could have a love.
That was why when Rob confessed to her, she seemed so helpless and only wanted to escape at all costs. It was because she wasn't sure if she had the strength to bear someone's love again. That night in Sethevia, she had already been selfish once. Because she craved the warmth of that person's back, she ended up involving him in a storm that didn't belong to him. The girl always felt apologetic towards Rob.
And now that the name that was like a nightmare to her had appeared again, Lolo had a vague premonition that there would be even more dangers waiting for her in the near future. She didn't know how far she could go, and how could she bear to let her beloved fall into the abyss with her?
This was her own path, after all.
The grudge between the Bretton family started with her, and it should also end with her. No matter what the final outcome was, no one should be hurt because of it, and no one should have to bear this burden again.
But looking at those bright eyes, the girl couldn't bring herself to reject him no matter what. Perhaps she could deceive everyone, but in the end, she couldn't deceive her own heart.
Lolo clenched the heart-shaped pendant in front of her chest and silently said in her heart, Daddy, Mommy, please tell your daughter what to do.
Rob seemed to have seen through her uneasiness and was no longer as aggressive as before. He seemed to have forgotten the confession not long ago and did not continue to ask for an answer from Lolo, but the girl's cheeks were still burning.
Unlike the time in Sethevia Port, it was daytime this time. After lunch, there were more people on the streets, and when they entered the campus, they met more students. Both of them were in an intimate position, and Lolo couldn't explain to everyone that it was because of her ankle injury. In the end, she could only bury her head in the young man's shoulder.
However, this scene happened to be seen by Caesar, who was not far away. The latter's face was gloomy, and he stopped walking, standing by the lake, thinking about something.
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Rob carried the girl back to the dormitory. Luo Luo was worried that Rob would do something strange again, but the Archmage behaved like a gentleman this time. He carried Luo Luo to the sofa in the living room, but before he left, he left the remaining herbs and a bunch of keys on the girl's table.
"I heard that you quit your job in the student council, and should be looking for other part-time jobs now. Are you interested in doing another part-time job?"
"Huh?" Lolo was still a little nervous, not understanding why the young man suddenly mentioned this.
"The place you went to today, I plan to renovate the first floor and open a bakery. I've already looked for a baker, but I'm still lacking someone to look after the shop. This position is very important for a bakery. Of course, I can come by myself when I'm free, but sometimes I have to attend classes, so I want to find someone I can trust."
"I … I don't want to work for you." Lolo blushed, thinking about what happened at the entrance not long ago. The girl felt that working for this guy was no different from walking into a trap. When the baker returned home, she did not know how she would be bullied if he caught her there.
Rob grunted, "Then, as a friend, can you help me for a while before I hire someone?"
"That's fine." The rookie The Brave thought about it, and it seemed that she could not refuse this request that was not too much, but she felt that something was wrong. After a while, the girl finally reacted. Wait a minute, wouldn't this mean that she was working for him for free? Compared to before, not only would she have to look after the shop, but she would also not get a salary.
A bad feeling rose in Lolo's heart. "You … How long will it take to hire someone?"
"No one can say for sure. Maybe I can hire someone tomorrow, and then I won't have to trouble you. Maybe I won't be able to find someone in a month or two," Rob said frankly.
"Then … What if you can't find someone?" The girl felt as if she had fallen into someone's trap again, and the bad feeling in her heart grew stronger.
"Hmm, the situation you mentioned is quite rare, but I can't rule it out completely. How about this, or you can work for a while, and we can hire someone together. You can leave once you've found someone."
"I see." Lolo was stunned. The suggestion sounded quite fair, and the girl was most afraid of someone having the final say when it came to hiring someone. If he always felt that the person was not suitable, then she would have to work for him for the rest of her life. Now that the two of them could decide together, she would definitely be able to find a suitable successor in a month or two. At most, she could just spend some money to put up a commission in the Student Union. With that thought in mind, the girl agreed to the young man's request.
"Very well, then it's settled. The bakery will open next Saturday. Don't forget to come." Rob turned around to open the door.
Just as a certain someone was about to leave, Luo Luo suddenly blurted out, "Will your pretty cousin be there that day too?"
Luo Bu smiled. "I thought you didn't care about this matter."
The girl was embarrassed, and she quickly explained, "Don't think too much. I'm not concerned about it. No, no, I'm just concerned about you as a friend. Oh right, what is your cousin doing now? Why don't you let her look after the shop with you? And when I see her, I must remind her to be careful and not let some pervert take advantage of her."
