Finishing their work and saying goodbye to Mika, the couple headed to Lilia's house. Rae was very far from a reliable protector, but he had been walking the girl home since the first day of their acquaintance. Despite the fact that she was older, he felt calmer this way. This was a very rare case when they walked home in silence. Usually, Rae maintained conversation on various topics and joked. Lilia was very shy and, given the circumstances of their acquaintance, felt uncomfortable. The task of breaking the ice between them fell on Rae's shoulders. Lilia really liked just listening to his voice, but now the girl's thoughts were occupied with how to start a conversation that promised to be very difficult. While Rae thought about where to find money to continue paying for her sister's treatment. Having thought everything over, Lilia took courage and still started the conversation: "I still remember the promises I made to you on the night we met. And I'm interested, why over these days have you still not asked me out on a date?" Rae was a little surprised by the girl's question, but quickly pulled himself together and answered: "I thought we both knew: those promises are just a pretext to make it easier for you to accept my help. So you can safely forget the part about the date." "I know it was just a pretext," said Lilia, "but I'm interested why you didn't do it. And I want to hear an honest answer." "We are both too busy with work, and I decided we don't need it," Rae said calmly. And as soon as he finished speaking, the girl grabbed his hand and bit mercilessly. From surprise, the guy barely held back a cry of pain. Gently licking the traces of her teeth, she said pyfully: "You're good at this, but I really don't like it when I'm lied to. Did you hear poorly? I said I want to hear the truth." "Okay, the truth is, I'm too good for you," said Rae. And as soon as he finished speaking, the girl's snow-white teeth sank into his hand again. "I'm starting to suspect you have a tendency toward masochism," Lilia said pyfully. "Okay, the truth is, you're too old for me," not finishing speaking, Rae received another bite. Stepping away from his hand, the girl bit his ear and whispered: "If you continue this game, next time I might bite off something very valuable." The fact that the usually modest girl was so persistently trying to pull the truth out of him aroused the guy's suspicions. Sighing heavily, he said: "Okay, I'll tell you the truth you want to hear so much, but you must promise me that, however this conversation ends, you will not refuse my help." Lilia had time to think. Let her not know how their conversation would end, but regardless of that, she was determined to stay next to this person. Therefore, she nodded decisively.
