Chapter 116 Lilith’s Past
Ann dragged Liam into an empty classroom, her grip firm and urgent. The door slammed shut behind them as she pushed him back against the wall, her eyes locked onto his with a mixture of hunger and affection. Before he could say a word, she rose to her toes, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him.
Liam’s eyes widened at first, but then they slowly fluttered shut as he gave in. His hands slid around her waist, pulling her closer. The kiss was warm, slow, and deep, and for a moment, time stood still. Her soft lips, the minty taste of her breath, the quiet sigh that escaped her—it was all too intoxicating. When they finally broke apart, Liam rested his forehead against hers, his voice low.
"Ann," he whispered, catching his breath, "we can always do this at home. If I get caught again, I’ll be in serious trouble."
Ann, still holding onto him, smiled slyly. "A change of hairstyle really changed your appearance overall," she murmured, her fingers gently tracing the two dark strands that now framed his face. "You look... different. Dangerous."
Liam rolled his eyes and gently pushed her away, just enough to create some space. "We still have another exam coming up. You should be reading."
Ann pouted and crossed her arms. "The same goes for you too."
Liam just chuckled to himself. If only she knew. With the system’s help, he was going to score a perfect 70 on every paper—guaranteeing straight A’s. He didn’t even need to study.
"I already read," he said with a smirk. "I’ve got something else to do."
Ann leaned forward, kissed him once more on the cheek, and then skipped off, humming happily to herself.
Liam let out a sigh and walked over to the classroom door. He opened it casually, but the moment he stepped out, he froze. Standing just a few feet away was the school’s disciplinary officer, his arm still bandaged from the incident a while ago.
The memory flashed in Liam’s mind—during his fight with Kane, the officer had tried to intervene, but Liam, in a rage, had shoved him without realizing who it was. The man fell and broke his arm. Back then, Liam had been horrified. He thought he was done for. Suspension, expulsion, maybe even legal trouble.
