Chapter 1275: Lilith's Little Secret
Shailene lived on the Lower East Side, next to Wall Street and Chinatown.
Most of the residents in this area are young people who have just settled in Manhattan and are working in the surrounding areas. The area of the room is mostly 30 square meters, a simple small dwelling.
"The place is very tight, be careful of the cabinet next to your legs, the edges are very sharp, you may accidentally hurt your legs..." Li Zitao's sudden visit made Charlene a little at a loss.
From the entrance, the whole room is a narrow corridor of about 2 meters, with long and narrow shoe cabinets with many shoes on it.
At the end is the main room. There are sofas, cabinets and... bathtubs along the corridor?
The innermost window is a bed, and there is a small door between the bed and the sofa, presumably it should be a toilet.
Put the bathtub in the center of the room, with a wooden board in the middle, with aromatherapy, red wine and goblets on it, looking very enjoyable.
"Is the rent expensive here?"
"It's just within the acceptable range. If it's too big, a person will appear lonely."
It could be seen that Charlene was very satisfied with this place, it was just right for one person to use, she was not a girl who liked to bring people into the house and paid attention to privacy.
"Asian knitted tapestry?" Li Zitao also fell in love with such a small, private space when he saw the Asian tapestry hanging behind the sofa.
"I bought it at the rally." Charlene opened the refrigerator in the corner, took out a can of cold beer and put it in front of him.
"I remember you prefer beer to wine."
"QD, is there a new flavor?" It was the first time he saw the brand new red logo on it, pineapple flavor.
"Have you thought about changing an apartment?" Li Zitao's question was sudden while drinking beer.
"Here, it's pretty good..." Charlene was a little moved. Who doesn't want to live in a better place? If they want to live an ordinary life, why come to New York.
"I'll get someone to arrange a new apartment for you, is West Midtown okay?" Arranging in West Midtown is the most convenient and hassle-free.
The company owns dozens of high-end apartments in West Midtown, otherwise they can ask Jonathan and Hilton for help, and just pay the rent.
Other places need to be found specially, and it would be very ostentatious to ask the secretary's office to do it.
"Yes." Charlene answered very simply, and the 'love' relationship between the two was confirmed.
"However, I hope to maintain the previous state, is that okay?" Li Zitao did not want the relationship between the two to change because of this.
Just like the previous friendship, the lover is not full, which is the most satisfying way for him to get along.
Charlene nodded, went to the bathtub and turned on the faucet, the sound of water flowing into it, and the steam quickly heated up the room.
"Do you want to add flower petals and milk?" There were two crystal cups on the wooden tray Shailene was holding, which contained milk and mixed flower petals respectively.
"Lilith, stop..." Lilith, who was walking out of the school with her friends, stopped and turned to look at the boys who were coming.
It's the jerks at school who take pleasure in bullying girls, or just causing trouble everywhere. And their favorite object of bullying is the cheerleaders of the school team.
Teenage boys always use clumsy and bad ways to get girls' attention, but they always backfire without knowing it.
Just like now, the two boys took advantage of their attention, went around behind and grabbed the girl's hair violently, and laughed after the other party cried out in pain.
"Are you looking for death?" Lilith said angrily, grabbing the ponytail with her hands.
"Ha, the captain is angry... so scary." The boys laughed together, stepped forward to provoke from time to time, and then ran away suddenly.
Lilith wouldn't swallow her anger. While being caught by a boy's hair, she lowered her head, turned around and raised her feet, boom...
The opponent grabbed the crotch, clamped his legs and knelt on the ground.
"Lilith, are you going too far?" The leader of the bastards ran over, helped the boy with a painful face and shouted angrily.
"Don't provoke me." Lilith said unmoved.
"You woman, do you think no one can teach you a lesson?" Samia raised her fist,
Said viciously.
"Fisting on a woman is really majestic...Did you learn it from your father? Would he beat you until you cried and hid in the corner like a bitch?"
Lilith folded her arms and looked at him mockingly like a proud queen. Those soft fists didn't look scary enough at all.
"Damn woman..." Samia rushed up with her fists raised.
The girl next to her shrank into a ball in fright, screaming and running away, only Lilith turned around and kicked her in the stomach, telling him to go back as he came.
"You'd better stay away from me, if you don't want to cause trouble." Turning around gracefully, Lilith left calmly towards the lonely king.
"Wait, wait for me, Lilith..." Becky looked at the boys who were shocked, and chased Lilith cautiously and triumphantly.
"Wow, you were so handsome just now, those bad boys were scared... You have learned to fight, ho ho, ha ha, right?" Becky said with a funny punching movement.
"That's boxing... I'm not learning boxing, but martial arts." Lilith said in a disdainful tone.
What she learned was not those brainless muscular men, but the master she found in Chinatown, the martial arts from her father's country.
Since she was 6 years old, she has been studying with her masters and begged them for a long time. Even her mother didn't know that it was Lilith who begged her grandfather for help.
Lilith couldn't help but think of her deceased grandfather. Compared with others, she was closer to her unrelated grandfather.
It is also because of her grandfather that she learned martial arts. When she felt strange to her father and felt disgusted and resisted, it was he who enlightened herself and tried to find her own origin.
The distant Far East country, understand its culture, know where my father came from, what he has experienced, and what it is like there.
Apart from her several masters and her deceased grandfather, I am afraid that no one will know that she is a half-Hua Guotong and a martial arts enthusiast.
It's just about the martial arts she learned, and occasionally Lilith would be curious about their origins, but the masters never mentioned them, only saying that they were ordinary skills.
"These ordinary skills are really easy to use." This is the first time Lilith uses martial arts skills, and it is smoother and easier to use than she imagined.
When Shamiya came running over, Lilith seemed to see a clumsy monkey, whatever she did could make him kneel down and beg for mercy, it couldn't be easier.
"Hey... are you listening to me?"
"What?"
"I want to learn martial arts too, is that okay?"
"No, the masters won't recognize you." Lily refused without hesitation, remembering that she had suffered a lot in order to gain the approval of the masters.
In the end, my grandfather talked with the masters behind closed doors for a long time before they agreed, 'It turns out that my grandfather has done so many things for me! '
Thinking of this, Lilith missed her grandfather even more, and it would be even better if he was still around.
