Chapter 1572: Chapter 1572: Okay, I’ll wait for you


Under the moonlight, Lilac Serval glanced at the boy beside her. She noticed a faint blush on his face, as if he were feeling very shy.


She smiled.


Unwittingly, this boy had already grown taller than her, and he seemed much more mature now.


When she had met him more than a year ago, he had just been working as a host in a bar—timid, introverted.


Actually, he wasn’t suited for places like bars at all.


“As long as you like it.” Smallie’s face was full of awkwardness. “It’s pretty cold outside, Sister Lilac. Let’s go home.”


“Alright, let’s go.”


Lilac Serval led him toward her car.


This place was remote, and the environment was particularly serene. The clouds in the sky were thin, making the stars shine exceptionally bright.


Slightly buoyant in mood, she turned to Smallie: “Do you know how to drive?”


“I’m learning. I haven’t gotten my license yet.”


“This stretch of road is deserted. You can drive, alright?”


“Sure,” Smallie agreed, “but the speed might be slower.”


“That’s fine. Slower is better.”


She wanted to savor the boundless stars and vast night sky a little longer.


Tonight, she felt a bit languid—didn’t particularly feel like driving—and just wanted to sit in the passenger seat and gaze at the heavens.


Because he was still in the process of learning, Smallie drove carefully and cautiously.


This stretch of road was scarcely populated, wide, and easy to navigate.


The car glided smoothly along the asphalt without the slightest bump.


“You drive pretty well—steady. About to get your license soon?” Lilac Serval chatted with him casually.


“Yeah, almost there. I’m trying to save up; after graduation, I want to buy a car.” Smallie still looked shy. “Sister Lilac, um, Mr. Mcintosh’s car looks really nice. I’ve seen it a few times. How much does it cost? I’d like to buy…”


“Him?” Lilac Serval’s lips curved with indifference; her eyes lacked any brightness. “That one’s not so nice. I don’t like it.”


“Oh, then I won’t buy it. Sister Lilac, what color do you like?”


“I like red.”


“Alright, red.”


The young boy driving the car occasionally showed small bursts of enthusiasm on his face.


Every word Lilac Serval uttered, he tucked away carefully in his heart.


“I’m not that fond of riding in cars. Sometimes taking the subway is nice too.” Lilac Serval smiled mildly.


Tonight, she had rushed out without putting on makeup after removing her previous look. Her skin appeared fair, rosy, and naturally elegant—more beautiful than when she wore makeup.


When she smiled, Smallie couldn’t help but steal another glance at her.


“Girls shouldn’t take the subway—it’s too much of a hassle,” Smallie said.


Lilac Serval didn’t respond.


What’s hassle or not hassle? Happiness is what matters most.


Like now—for Lilac Serval, being in this moment was pure happiness.


Talking with Smallie wasn’t exhausting; she didn’t need to hide any thoughts. She could say whatever was on her mind.


The scenery outside the window was beautiful too—wispy clouds drifting, stars dazzling brightly.


“Smallie, I might be leaving Landon for a while. During this time, focus on your studies.”


“Where are you going?”


“Taking a trip to Lonton.”


“Will you also be gone for over a year this time?”


Lilac Serval paused briefly, then shook her head. “No, I’ll come back sooner.”


“Alright, I’ll wait for you.” Smallie’s eyes sparkled with excitement and radiance, showing his obvious happiness.


“Good.” Lilac Serval’s lips curved into a slight smile.


She cherished her time with Smallie—no scheming, just the simplest joy.


“Sister Lilac, you told me not to work part-time in bars, but you… you should also stay away from those places.”
