The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer
Chapter 16: It takes time to see people’s hearts
"Have you heard that there's a new stall opened in the cafeteria recently, selling super delicious fruits~"
"Huh? How delicious can fruit be?"
"Come on, I'll treat you at noon!"
The Magic Academy is a semi-closed school, and there are not many new things on campus.
The water bar stall opened by Lilith quickly spread among students.
Every noon, Lilith's stall was crowded with people, especially after the dean's endorsement, no one doubted the origin of those fruits anymore.
Looking at the cheerful young people in front of her, Lilith no longer felt as embarrassed as she had at the beginning.
At this moment, Lilith can already function as a stall owner smoothly. While selling goods, she can also communicate with students.
"Classmate, I want to ask you something."
The boy who was called by Lilith blushed, and the originally cheerful boy suddenly became restrained.
Lilith smiled friendly at this and asked the boy.
"My stall is too busy, I want to find two helpers, do you know anyone willing to work and study?"
Most of the students in the magic academy come from wealthy families. Although they like Lilith's desserts, it is still embarrassing for them to take the initiative to work in the service industry.
But no matter where you are, there are classes.
In the magic academy, there are also some children of wealthy businessmen, or those who simply have outstanding magical talents and are admitted by the academy as an exception.
In front of the real powerful people, these people are like mice seeing a cat, and they can only shrink their necks and behave themselves.
Many people are being bullied secretly, and the teachers have dealt with this matter time and time again, but it still doesn't stop.
"Ah this..."
The boy who was stopped by Lilith immediately thought of these people.
Only these excluded children would have the need to work and study.
But the boy was not familiar with these people. He only knew that there was a girl in his class who always wore a school uniform that was washed to a bleached color and always sat quietly in the corner reading a book.
"I'll try to find out for you..."
Seeing the boy running away, Lilith put away her smile.
After spending so many days in the magic academy, Lilith has gained a certain understanding of this place.
Lilith witnessed one incident where someone took the poor girl to the back of the cafeteria and pushed her next to a swill bucket.
Lilith couldn't help but think of herself. When she had no relatives around her, she had also suffered a lot of malicious treatment.
Lilith decided to help the girl in need.
After Lilith posted the recruitment information, a shy girl came to her the next day.
The girl came to Lilith during class time. The cafeteria was empty at the moment, which seemed a bit scary.
It was the first time that Lilith met a girl who was more timid than herself. At this moment, she was overwhelmed with love and wanted to help her immediately.
"Did you come here by yourself?"
After hesitating for a while, the girl in front of him nodded.
"They forced me to come to you..."
I originally thought the girl was here to apply for a job, but I didn't expect that she was forced to come here by her classmates.
Lilith was a little angry, but she couldn't vent her frustration on the girl in front of her.
"I'm hiring, would you like to try?"
Lilith held up a cup of warm milk tea and handed it to the frightened girl.
It was the first time the girl felt kindness from someone else, and she was at a loss as she held her milk tea.
"Come to my place to work every day at noon, and I will pay you."
Lilith offered a suitable reward, and the girl nodded, agreeing.
Because it was not far from lunch time, Lilith asked the girl to go to work directly and even made an apron for her.
It was lunch time as usual, and the cafeteria was as busy as usual.
But the students who came to Lilith's booth today had a more playful smile on their faces.
There was a shy girl next to Lilith. Just like Lilith at the beginning, she didn't dare to look up and just focused on her own actions.
"Isn't this the taciturn guy from Class B~"
"I heard that all her family members died. She was a disaster."
"Forget it, I won't come here to sell milk tea anymore. It's really unlucky."
Young people are not as thoughtful as adults, and many of them will say what is on their mind directly.
The crowd's disparagement and slander of the girl reached Lilith's ears directly.
Just as Lilith was about to stand up for the girl, she was stopped by the girl.
"Aren't you angry when they slander you like this?"
Lilith couldn't understand why the girl had to endure being bullied to such an extent.
The girl looked up, her face expressionless.
"What do you know? What they said is true. I am a jinx and everyone hates me. I will never come here again!"
Lilith didn't expect that the girl didn't get angry at those who bullied her, but was angry at herself as her helper.
And after this lunch, Lilith never saw the girl again.
Feeling indignant, Lilith went straight to find Li wandering around the school.
Lilith slapped a cup of bitter tea on the table in front of Li, wanting to discuss something about the girl with him.
"Are you listening to me? That girl was bullied and she's clearly not in good shape!"
Lilith recounted the process of how she recruited the girl and how she got angry and stopped coming.
However, Li didn't listen attentively at all and was absent-minded throughout the whole process.
Lilith slammed the table to get Lee's attention.
Lee finally met Lilith's eyes.
"Lilith, why do you want to help that girl?"
Lilith was stunned by Li's question. She stammered out an answer and had to ask back.
"Then why are you helping me again, Brother Li!"
Lilith felt that Brother Li was a good man. Since he was willing to take action to help her, he would definitely be willing to help the innocent girl.
But Li's answer left Lilith silent.
"I am willing to help you, of course, because your parents entrusted you to our family."
Li is not a saint. If Lilith was a complete stranger, Li would naturally not spend any time on Lilith.
After getting such an answer, Lilith felt disappointed.
It seems that Brother Li is not as nice to me as I imagined.
Seeing Lilith's lost look, Li stood up and touched the hair on Lilith's head.
"Lilith, how long have we known each other?"
"Uh…how many days?"
"You know, we've only known each other for a few days. We don't know each other, so how can we come to a conclusion?"
Lilith suddenly realized that people need to be open-hearted when they get along with each other.
As the saying goes, time reveals a person's true character. Lilith and Li had just met, so why did she think that Li was the good guy?
What if Li is attracted by my beauty and wants me to be his wife?
Ouch~ So shy~
Lilith suddenly became shy, which scared Li.
Li Hao was afraid of this brainless vampire, so he quickly brought up a new topic to interrupt Lilith's delusion.
"Hey~ Finish the work first. After things here are settled, we'll have plenty of time to get to know each other."
"Yes, work! The person I hired ran away. Brother Li, come and help me clean up the stall!"
"Ah? I still have to go on patrol, you keep busy!"
Watching Li fleeing in panic, Lilith felt calmer than ever before.
