Chapter 997 Lily

In the college of higher learning in the central part of Hope Island, Lily sat in the library and looked up various materials quietly.

Her hair, which has been left unfurled on her head, is pinned behind her ear with a pearl barrette.

The upper body is a large beige knitted sweater, and the lower body is also a light-colored short skirt.

The simplest dress showed her unique temperament.

Sitting next to her is her good friend and classmate Maya.

During this period of time, she has helped Lili a lot, and now Lily can barely keep up with her studies.

After studying for such a long time, Lily has grown a lot mentally

Occasionally thinking back to her past self, she suddenly found that her previous self was too childish.

All kinds of ideas are too simple and naive, and there is no empathy from the perspective of others.

She is now completely different from the one she was more than a year ago. The once childlike purity on her face has disappeared, and now there is only gentleness and softness.

Lily is very happy about this, this is the purpose of her coming to the academy, to grow up.

In order to cover her outstanding appearance and study with peace of mind, Lily even put on light makeup on her face to make herself more ordinary.

It's just that the effect is not very good, and there are still an endless stream of male students who are courting her.

Lily despises them very much for their living expenses given by the governor and doing things that have nothing to do with studying.

When Lily was engrossed in reading, Maya next to her gently nibbled her with her arm, and pointed to the mechanical alarm clock on the wall with the pen in her hand.

It was dinner time, and it was time for them to leave.

Lily nodded to her friend, put the books and pens on the table into the satchel on the stool beside her, followed her and left.

After walking out of the embassy, ​​the two girls held each other's arms and talked about topics that only girls are interested in.

Studying is stressful and this is their way of relaxing each other.

Just when Maya was about to go to the cafeteria, Lily grabbed her,

"Let's go out to eat. How about the Red Tong restaurant? I invite you. You helped me a lot in the previous defense. I want to thank you very much."

It was said to be a great help, but in fact it was just an excuse. Lily understood that if she didn't say this, she probably wouldn't go according to the degree of frugality of the other party.

And she also chose a low-end restaurant, just to make the other party feel more comfortable.

Although Lily can take her friends to more upscale restaurants, or even take her to those private top-notch restaurants.

But she understands that if the contributions of both parties are inconsistent in a relationship, the relationship will easily deteriorate.

A good friendship also needs to be maintained.

"Okay, I will go there occasionally to have a luxury. Their salt-baked lobster noodles taste very good." Maya readily accepted Lily's invitation.

They left the center of the island by tram, and finally walked into a half-old restaurant in a small alley from the edge of the pier, with a huge crab claw hanging above the shop.

It's a very simple family restaurant, where dad cooks, son waits, and mom buys.

Although simple, the taste is good and the price is low. Although the location is remote, the business is good.

Now the supply of materials on the island has been completely restored, and even this small restaurant has a lot of dishes to choose from.

After Lily and Maya ordered the food they wanted, they continued to chat happily while drinking the sweet banana drink.

The topic between girls is always inseparable from boys. Lily asked her companion with a hint of slyness on her face: "Do you have something with Ike? How did I hear that he is your boyfriend now?"

Maya will not be shy and generous to admit it. "Well, we met the previous Governor's birthday. He's not bad, and he's been appointed by the Navy Staff Department."

"There is a high probability that there will be no war in the recent period. Working in the navy is a good job. The salary is high and there are many holidays, and housing can be allocated. Although it is only a single room, at least I don't have to pay rent after I leave the academy. .”

Hearing so much from the other party, Lily showed a disappointed expression on her face, "Maya, you clearly know that this is not what I want to hear."

"Then what do you want to hear?" Maya looked at her in surprise.

"The love between you. Did he do anything romantic for you? How did he pursue you in the first place?"

Maya took another sip of the drink in the cup with a straw, "There is no love, I don't like his appearance, and he also likes to hold boogers. I became his girlfriend because of resource considerations. After all, I am not particularly beautiful. , it would be nice to find something like this.”

Then she raised her head and looked at Lily. "Don't show that expression. He actually doesn't have much affection for me. He wanted to pursue you before. He only chose me after he rationally understood that he had no chance to pursue you."

"I like rational people who can control and calculate."

"Uh..." Lily suddenly didn't know how to answer the conversation.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Maya immediately changed the subject.

"It's okay, Lily, you are so beautiful. If I were a man, I would like you. By the way, so many people pursued you, but you didn't agree. What kind of person do you like?"

Lily showed helplessness on her face, this question was almost a constant topic among them. "My dear Ms. Maya, can't we talk about something else? Why do we have to talk about this aspect? There are more things in the world than love."

Maya looked at her with a strange look in her eyes, "Isn't our age the right time to talk about this? Don't you want to talk about it after you are 20 years old? How can you have time when you are working, and this topic is not your first. brought it up?"

Lily sighed and rolled her eyes upwards. "I haven't thought about those things for a while. And those boys are too naive."

"Childish?" Maya's eyes widened immediately, "Then you like mature ones? You didn't agree to Dr. Miran's invitation to dinner before."

"Gee, I don't mean childish in age, I mean their way of thinking is so childish, they don't have any ideals in their hearts at all, their souls are hollow, and their thoughts about the future are nothing more than a better job and a bigger house. "

At this time, the food they ordered was served, and Lily picked up the metal knife and fork and began to eat. She ate very quickly, her cheeks puffed up like a little hamster.

The habits of the rat period have changed a lot, but there are still some habits that need some time to adapt.

Maria inserted a fork into the brown dough and rolled it into a ball before stuffing it into her mouth. "Ideal? Lily, do you read too many novels? They are all fake, they are all made up by those guys to cheat money."

Lily smiled at her and didn't refute anything.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are collecting the names of Earthsea fans. Do you have any good ideas?
