At that moment, Lemira sat in the car with Orion, her gaze drifting over the stream of vehicles around them. She couldn''t help but worry aloud, "Lucian is definitely going to send people to look for me. He might even cause trouble for you at school." After all, this was Langston territory. This was precisely why she had been holding back, hoping to leave after the exam.
Lemira felt guilty for dragging Orion into her mess.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
The man couldn''t help but pat her head, "Don''t worry, they won''t find you. What you need to think about now is: where will you stay?"
Lemira sighed, "Guess I''ll have to rent a ce."
It''s something she had thought about but never had the chance to act on. She almost wished Lucian had kicked her out earlier so she wouldn''t have to worry about all it. "I know a ce that''s up for rent."
Lemira didn''t ask any more questions and followed him to the apartmentplex.
It''s a nice ce. As she stepped into the apartment, she couldn''t help butment on the interior, "This ce must be expensive, right? I''m pretty broke at the moment!" "Money''s not an issue. It belongs to a friend of mine. He''s not living here anyway. You live here to help him house-sit. Technically, if we get down to it, he should be paying you."
Orion stood in front of the living room''s floor-to-ceiling windows, lean and nonchnt.
Lemira couldn''t help butugh, "Is this actually your ce?"
"No, mine''s next door."
Lemira was momentarily taken aback, "That''s quite a coincidence, isn''t it?"
He smiled casually, "Otherwise, I wouldn''t rest assured with you living anywhere else. After all, I''m the one who coaxed you into leaving." Lemira felt her cheeks warm up. Coaxed her? It''s surprising to hear such words from someone who usually was cool and spoke so little. Orion, realizing his words might have been a bit much, quickly changed the subject, "Just stay here for now, don''t worry about anything else." Lemira nodded, "Alright, but I still need to pay rent. I can sleep on the couch and won''t mess up your friend''s ce or touch his stuff." Orion frowned, "You don''t have to sleep on the couch. He''s never stayed here; the guy''s loaded and clueless, don''t worry about it." Lemira smiled, "Then you two must be really good friends." Only true friends could talk about each other like that.
Orion nced at the time, "How about ying some games now?"
"Sure."
Lemira followed him to the neighboring apartment and found it was identical inyout.
Orion''s ce seemed sparse. However, the study had twoputers with pretty impressive setups.
As Lemiraunched the game, she saw the homepage disying a live game she had yed earlier, with a twelve-hitbo. The title even mentioned K''s protégé making aeback.
She felt a bit guilty. After all, in her previous life, she hadn''t managed the twelve-hitbo in the yoff, nor had she ever met the legend.
Orion nced at her, "When did you learn to pull off a twelve-hitbo in the game?"
Lemira panicked. How was she supposed to exin? Could she really tell him it was something she learned in her past life?
After all, mastering K''s twelve-hitbo was challenging; many had tried to replicate it from videos without sess.
Lemira licked her lips, "Actually, I''m K''s huge fan. I''ve admired him since I was little and secretly practiced his signature move. I never seeded before, but somehow, I managed it during thepetition." Orion''s look wasplex, "You''ve liked him since you were little?"
"Y-Yeah, always been a big fan, so I''m familiar with his moves."
Lemira was unsure, but it''s the best exnation she had. She was indeed an admirer of the legend, so it wasn''t a lie.
She sneaked a look at Orion, who seemed a bit awkward as he stiffly replied, "Don''t fall for someone so easily."
Lemira was surprised, "But this is different."
After all, it was the legend K. Anyone who yed the game admired him!
