Chapter 739: Chapter 739: The Heart Skipped a Beat
He eagerly carried Lilac Serval’s bag, his heart pounding.
There were still remnants of cigarette butts and broken glass on the ground, which he carefully guided Lilac to avoid.
“Take your time, Sister Serval, watch your step.”
He assumed Lilac would be bullied, taken advantage of, but in reality… appearances can be deceiving.
He now had another reason to admire Lilac!
More and more, he was convinced that his judgment was excellent! Exceptional even!
There’s a phrase… discerning eye, yes, that’s it.
His mood lifted instantly, his spirits soared, and his steps became much lighter!
“Sister Serval, you’re really amazing!”, was the only compliment he could come up with.
And so, he kept praising her for her “amazingness”…
Lilac Serval smiled; her smile was still as stunning as ever.
However, deep in her eyes, there was a hint of helplessness.
Like a wisp of blue smoke, it was subtle yet deeply hidden in her eyes, and it seemed like it could dissipate at any moment, yet it lingered.
A sense of loneliness masked her face.
Yet, all she wished for was to remain an ordinary student, continuing her studies.
She longed to be an ordinary child, to study, take exams, play, and lead a smooth life.
But alas, there were no ifs.
No one would wish for her kind of life, not even herself.
Lilac Serval looked at the path beneath her feet and walked away in silence.
Despite remaining cheerfully upbeat, he admired how Sister Serval never lost out; following her lead, he never suffered.
However, his joy didn’t last long; he soon felt a wave of sadness…
This would be Sister Serval’s last visit to this bar.
Could he see her again after this? Would she forget about him…
With thoughts like these, he became inexplicably melancholic.
Just as he was leading Lilac Serval through the crowd towards a quieter area, suddenly—
A dark figure stopped in front of them, halting their advance.
Little 11, holding Lilac’s bag, immediately halted in vigilance, looking up at the tall man before him.
The man was wearing a long coat, standing tall with a strong presence, but he was solemn and stern.
His sharp eyes were locked onto Lilac Serval’s face, unwavering.
Upon seeing the man obstructing their path, Lilac Serval also looked up.
Her heart skipped a beat.
His gaze stayed fixed on her face, reflecting her image in his pupils.
Due to the earlier incident, Little 11 protectively stood beside Lilac Serval!
His round eyes warily observed the young man.
Lilac brushed away the hair hanging by her ears and gave a slight smile.
“Who are you? You can’t bully Sister Serval… and besides, you, you can’t beat her!”
Little 11 was still shaken; he widened his eyes to look at Charles Mcintosh.
This man emitted a strong aura, very different from the unsavory men from before.
Little 11 nervously glanced at Lilac Serval.
He relied significantly on Lilac and was waiting for her to make a decision.
“Little 11, you go on ahead, look after my bag.” Lilac Serval gave him a smile, indicating that he shouldn’t stay here.
“But Sister Serval, he…”
“It’s fine, you can go.”
“Sister Serval, if anything goes wrong, just call me. I’m still worried.”
He glanced at Charles Mcintosh once more, but Charles Mcintosh didn’t pay him much attention, only giving him a quick look.
Little 11 left, carrying Lilac’s bag with him.
The surroundings were noisy with music, chaotic and bustling.
Lilac Serval was wearing high-heeled shoes, yet she was still a head shorter than him.
“Brother Mcintosh, looking for me? Did Mr. Cheney leave any instructions?” Lilac Serval turned towards him.
