Death… And Me Chapter 2659 Water and Fire

Chapter 2659  Water and Fire

Bunbun continued. "At first, there was nothing wrong with it. I mean, everyone can fall in love, and even Kafan mentioned it happened to him in the past. He saw it as a good thing since Lolio was truly a very cold Loporrit. Laweia was the complete opposite of Lolio, but it seemed as if she completed him."

"So it was love at first sight, uh?" Kentucky tried to imagine that.

Inside Roan's sea of mind...

"Our first meeting couldn't have been worse," Lolio commented as the images of his life pa.s.sed. "She took everything as if it was a joke, so how could I possibly accept her? When she joined the research group that was trying to figure out a way to fix our birth rate and bloodline problem, the first thing she did was throw a party in her office! A party! Everyone there was focusing so much on the Loporrits' future, and that seemed to not care at all!"

Roan could clearly feel Lolio's anger... although that anger didn't seem to be something he hated. Indeed, Loliop looked at those moments as a treasure of his past life. "As you can probably imagine, as the leader of the research group, I immediately put an end to it and gave her a warning. To be honest, I would have thrown her out of the research group straight away if not for Bunbun stopping me."

---

Bunbun reached the same part of the story. "Hahaha! Lolio was fuming at that time. However, I couldn't let him discard Laweia. She was indeed quite the joker, but her mind was magnificent! She was a true genius, and I'm not talking about cultivation. I'm talking about intelligence!"

"As you can imagine, that research had the Loporrits' future on the line," Bunbun didn't stop there. "So the test to accept new Loporrits into that research center was gruesome. The benefits were immense, and the number of Loporrits trying to join was even more so. Yet, it was hard to see ten of them joining in over a year. Laweia, on the other hand, achieved maximum score in the test. She was the first one to do that, and it was Lolio himself who created the test."

Bunbun shrugged his shoulder. "Of course, if you think Lolio hated what Laweia was doing, the opposite wasn't much better. She didn't like the iron hand that Lolio had in everything. She always tried to add some joy to the research center, much to Lolio's rage. To say they were like water and fire would be an understatement."

Rean sighed in response as he remembered something from his life back on earth. "In the world I came from, we have a saying: There is a thin line between love and hate."

That was the first time Bunbun heard that, but he couldn't agree more as he nodded vigorously. ---

"I wonder when it changed," Lolio commented, trying to find within the memories that were pa.s.sing by the moment his hate became something else. "It wasn't only me, but the both of us. As much as we hated each other, neither side could deny the other's abilities. Above all, it was obvious that both our methods of leading our groups were effective in their own way."

Roan didn't pay attention to the memories of Lolio and Laweia but to the outsiders instead. In several of those memories, the Loporrits around looked at the two fighting with weird expressions. "Hmph! You might not have noticed it at first, nor did she. However, the other Loporrits seemed to have caught the clues much earlier than you two."

Lolio was taken aback for a moment, and then he also paid attention to the other Loporrits around in his memories. Seeing that, he couldn't help but feel a little embarra.s.sed. "Even they noticed the change while Laweia and I didn't. I wish you hadn't pointed it out."

---

"Hahaha! It was so fun to see that," Bunbun laughed as he remembered those fond memories. "The two of them bickered with each other at every possible opportunity. Yet, little did they notice but they could simply ignore each other. Laweia was delivering the results and Lolio was making good use of them. There was simply no reason for them to keep each other company. And yet, they were like magnets, always attracted to each other. Only the two of them hadn't noticed their feelings at that point. As for us, it was entertaining to see, so none of the Loporrits mentioned anything."

"How long did it take for them to notice their feelings?" Kentucky asked, really curious about that love story. "It probably went like that for decades, right?"

"Oh, it didn't take that long," Bunbun shook his head, though. "I still remember when Lolio and Laweia's behavior toward each other changed, and it only took three years."

'Three years is still a lot of time,' Rean thought for a moment but didn't want to intervene.

---

"Three years! It took me three years to notice the obvious!" Lolio seemed angry to himself. "If I had noticed my feelings earlier, perhaps things would have turned out differently? Who knows? Laweia and I might still be alive and together to this day."

"You won't like what I'm going to say, but I'm happy you didn't," Roan commented. "You and I seem to have similar personalities, which is pretty obvious why. That said, there is no need for me to lie. It was thanks to these events in the past that I'm here today."

Lolio wasn't angry, though. "You have to. Yes, we have similar personalities, so I would also be happy in your shoes. Lying simply doesn't fit us unless there is something to be gained."

Roan nodded as he noticed that the memories changed. The two Loporrits that always argued with each other seemed to have stopped and grown closer instead. He even noticed Kafan a few times in these memories in his humanoid form, seeming happy for the two. Yet, things didn't continue like that for long. It seemed like the Loporrits and Death Spirits' research had finally borne fruit.
