Chapter 970 Lith’s Past
Lith truthfully explained the things that had transpired.
When he was on Earth, his name was Chance and he was an ordinary student living in a foreign country for his studies.
He belonged to a middle-cla.s.s family and couldn"t afford luxury but also wasn"t poor enough to not afford meals twice a day.
Lilith listened intently and didn"t interrupt. The only emotional changes that Lith could see were in her eyes.
There was a flicker of interest, and that"s about it.
Lith skipped over his childhood and student life, and his mother noticed it. She urged him to clearly tell her everything he remembered since he was a child, from traumas to everyday events.
Lith had a slight blush form on his face, seemingly embarra.s.sed, but he didn"t hide things and told her whatever he knew truthfully.
Clearing his throat, Lith said, "Well, what can I say… I was a really good child. As far as I knew, I had stopped wetting my bed when I was six and—"
Buzzzzzz!
A buzzer rang beside Lilith and Lith took notice of it for the first time.
This thing looked like a table bell, but instead of ringing, glowed red and made a buzzing sound.
Lilith squinted her eyes and stared at Lith. "Why are you lying?"
Lith froze. "s.h.i.t…"
When his mother said she would know when he was lying, he thought it would be something in her head and not so flashy!
Lilith"s gaze pierced Lith"s soul. She appeared like a demon that could devour him at any moment if he took a step wrong.
Needless to say, Lith"s body involuntarily trembled in fear.
The mighty const.i.tution that Lith had, it feared none, except for its maker. There was no escape for Lith.
Lith scratched his face with his index finger and said, "Right… I was a good kid and—"
Buzzzzz!
The buzzer rang again, making Lith"s face darken and Lilith"s gaze fiercer.
"Mama"s very curious now to see what you"re hiding…" Lilith said, her gaze not leaving Lith"s.
Lith sighed and raised his hands up in defeat. "Fine… I"ll tell the truth."
And then Lith began stating his deepest darkest memories.
When Lith was in preschool, his first friend was a girl from next door. They both used to go to the inst.i.tution together with their parents and were good friends.
One day, in preschool, when the entire cla.s.s was busy playing outside, Lith went back to the cla.s.sroom to fetch himself something.
His friend naturally followed.
"…now, I don"t remember her name, but let"s just call her friend," said Lith.
Lilith nodded. She had no problems with it.
Lith continued, "So when I went to fetch this something, this friend of mine came to fetch me— collect me, no, I mean, get me…"
Lith stuttered and made a fool of himself, an occurrence really rare for the Mary Sue type personality that he usually was.
The corner of Lilith"s slightly curved up, but she controlled her expression to not make fun of him. If she did so, she was sure he wouldn"t spill the amazing tea!
Lith coughed lightly and collecting his thoughts, began explaining the incident again.
So Lith"s friend came to get him and Lith had got what he needed. On their way, they pa.s.sed by the washroom and Lith said he had to go in.
"Now, this is where things got a bit weird. Can I please skip it?" Lith asked, his tone almost pleading.
"No." Lilith said sternly with a straight face. Her poor baby was suffering so much and she could feel it from his tone, but unlike prior times, she was giggling on the inside, finding glee in his misery.
Lith sighed and continued on.
Lith and his friend were two curious children. When he said he wanted to go to the washroom, his friend had a sudden doubt and asked why Lith and her had to go in separate washrooms.
She also said that she had never seen the boy"s washroom and wanted to go take a look.
Lith was nervous and stated it would be bad if the teacher caught them. She would complain to their parents!
"Oh my… What an interesting threat!" Lilith thought internally, clearly amused by the life of mortal parents.
Lith continued that his friend somehow managed to convince him. He didn"t know. And then they went to the washroom.
The washroom"s interior was different and this surprised his friend. There were urinals separated by small stone slabs and there were also stalls for number two.
Lilith slowly spun her finger within her silver hair and stared at Lith with interest, clearly very amused by everything he was saying.
She didn"t know boys and girls washrooms had such a difference. Very interesting.
Lith continued on and said that during this incident, he had seen a girl"s private for the first time and a girl had seen his.
Lith then completely skipped it and went ahead to his later life, but Lilith stopped him right there and asked him to rewind and go into more detail.
Lith was ashamed. Very, very ashamed. He had no face left anymore.
"Well, at least my sister isn"t here…" Lith sighed in relief.
As if the heavens had heard him and wanted to fulfil his wish, Lilith felt a burning sensation on the back of her palms.
Raising her brows, she turned to look at it and saw a few sigils in red appear on them.
"Wait a second, mama will be back." Lilith said and disappeared from her spot.
Lith raised an eyebrow in surprise and thought, "She"s gone? Should I escape now?"
The thought flashed in Lith"s mind, but was suppressed just as quickly.
Running was not an option because there was nowhere he could run to. Even if he did, this was home and he had to come back eventually.
"Tch. What a situation." Lith thought out loud and patiently sat in his chair.
A few moments later.
The door slammed open and a thunderous aura filled the bedroom.
"Little brother!" A familiar melodious voice was heard by Lith.
Before he could react, darkness flashed in his vision and he felt himself suffocate in something warm and soft.
"Little brother! Little brother! Little brother!" A silverhead, appearing to be in her early 20s, stuffed Lith in her embrace and spun on her toes in joy.
"I missed you! I missed you so much!" The silverhead cried out, her words full of longing and love.
Lilith walked inside the bedroom with a smile and the door closed on its own behind her.
"My dear, you shouldn"t suffocate him like that." Lilith reminded in a gentle tone.
"Haha, right!" Lucy said happily and let go of Lith, holding his face between her hands and staring at him.
Lith finally saw his big sister"s beautiful face. Nothing had changed, she was the same, except, her eyes showed the vast experience she had been through and a new, completely terrifying sensation within them.
Lucy may seem calm and happy, but this killing intent hidden within her eyes didn"t disappear.
Lith was surprised and temporarily forgot about his situation.
He smiled warmly, happy to see her back, and said, "Welcome back, big sis."
Lucy snickered. "Hehe, yes. Big sis is back!"
And then she sealed his lips before he could say anything more.
This was Lucy"s first kiss in ages and she did not let go of Lith for a solid ten minutes.
Satisfied and content, she broke the kiss and smiled joyfully.
Wiping the saliva off his face, Lith looked at her and then at his mother. "You knew she was coming? If yes, you could"ve told me. We could go to welcome her together."
Lilith smiled and went back to sit on the study table. "I had that in mind, but then I was afraid Lucy would grab you and lock you in a room with her for many years."
"That seriously sounds like a good idea right now, even though it"s not…" Lith thought.
Lucy nodded her head. "I had that in mind, but mom said you were spilling some good tea. I can"t miss out on that, can I?"
Lith sighed for the nth time today. There really was no escape…
Lith was made to sit back on the chair once again by the study table.
This time, there was not one, but two silverheads staring at him while sitting on the table in front.
Lucy placed her hands on her knees and propped her chin on them. "Go ahead, little brother. Tell me what you were telling mom."
Lilith had managed to calm Lucy down by saying Lith had some secrets he was saying. Lucy was thus really compliant and didn"t cause any trouble.
Once again, Lith sighed and continued on with his tale.
Firstly, he told Lucy the things that had happened during his tribulation. Then he went on to say he was a reincarnated person and his past life name was Chance.
Lucy"s expression, although she seemed shocked, wasn"t anything too exaggerated like Lith had hoped.
It was just like: "Oh yeah you"re a reincarnated person? Surprising, anyway, what were you saying…?"
Everything that was happening was out of Lith"s expectations. He expected some sadness or resentment from his mother and sister, but there was none.
There was not even a hint of anger or annoyance.
Lith was once again reminded of how he was not a part of a normal family like before, but of immortals and maybe even G.o.ds.
Their emotional maturity was on another level of consciousness that one couldn"t look through the mortal eyes.
Shaking his head, Lith continued, "…so I was then six years old and I had stop wetting my bed."
Buzzzzzz!
"SONUVAb.i.t.c.h!"
