It's been more than a year since that 12th birthday. Thanh Lam is currently an excellent student at the school, she has to get a letter of recommendation to work as a teaching assistant at the Sept center. That time, she didn't register for herself, but for other students at Illusion campus 1. Although it's a bit of a mistake, when she's a teaching assistant, she won't be able to focus on work so much, and that huge library is what she wants.
Everything was as she wished, the letter was sent under her name. Just a few days later she was able to proudly step into it as a teaching assistant.
"So you went there to enjoy reading the library there?" - Vivie felt surprised, although that teaching assistant job was very tiring, the salary was extremely high. Yet this girl only cares about that giant library.
Lam nodded and said:
"I also read that teaching assistants have the right to invite more people to help them with their drafting. Do you want to go in there? There are many theological books in that library!"
Vivie happily agreed. We can't let this little girl enjoy that joy alone.
...
"Why?"
"There is no choice, accept it."
In the current scene, outsiders looking in cannot understand what these two people are saying. Thanh Lam is very frustrated, why does she have to be a teaching assistant for this person, the person she wants to avoid the most. Daniel ignored the little girl next to him and sat down to compose a book of questions and give it to her.
"Teaching assistant, get to work." - Daniel looked at Lam and said. - "Le Thanh Lam."
Thanh Lam sighed, among all the lovely and enthusiastic professors, why is this person the right one? But, what's his name?
Daniel is the youngest history professor at the center, of course when he chooses a teaching assistant, no one will compete. Thanh Lam impressed him many times, with her linguistic talent, her very harmonious but thorny appearance when necessary, her appearance that changed dramatically in a short time, and even the moment that Daniel himself hypnotized by that voice.
Although Lam knew that things were not as expected, she still accepted to work. Her main purpose is not to teach, she just wants to use the library. Maybe working with this person isn't as bad as she thought.
...
"Lam, don't you draft lesson plans or something?" - Vivie came as an invite, sitting and reading valuable documents about mythology with Thanh Lam.
She shook her head, wrote down relevant things in a very thick notebook, and said:
"The professor has done it all. He didn't give me a chance to do anything. I just need to go to class with that brother."
Vivie frowned and asked again:
"Brother? Which professor is so young?"
"Daniel Muddler, speaking of Cao Cao Cao Cao, there he is." - Lam pointed towards the library door. She finally remembered his name, great progress.
Daniel looked at the teaching assistant who was waving to him, then turned to continue working. Vivie looked at this person and immediately understood that he was indeed very young, seemingly only about 25 or 26 years old. If she were a normal person, she would have fallen in love with his beauty at first glance.
"Do you like him?" - Vivie asked softly in a curious voice.
Lam laughed and said:
"No. Why do you ask that?" - She didn't have much feelings for this person. If it was Beelzebub, who often appeared in her dreams, maybe she would think. But this person? Come on, Vivie .
Vivie smiled, that was reassuring. If Lam likes this person, things will take a very bad turn.
"Hey, you talk too much!" - Hoan An, another person who received a letter of recommendation, also worked as a teaching assistant at the center for another professor. Currently sitting right next to Lam.
After that performance, An seemed to like to bother her. Seems like you want to know what she is? He didn't even bully or argue with her. Although the hate was still clear in his eyes, his actions were very caring.
"Change your pen, that pen is about to break."
"Leave that kid alone, come over here and sit with me." - Vivie changed places with Lam, she knew that this person did not have good intentions towards Thanh Lam.
He doesn't love her at all, and always watches her with curious, hateful eyes. Yet his actions always seem to show concern. Thanh Lam of course is not stupid enough to not realize that, as long as it does not directly harm her, everything is acceptable.
...
Lam sat in his room, re-reading her notebooks and then looking up at the blue crystal statue. In one short year, her dreams were no longer about death. Perhaps those are her earliest memories? Because it seemed like the 12th dream was true, she only dreamed about death 12 times and it repeated continuously. As soon as she remembered some important detail, the memories were not of her death, but of her other reincarnations.
"Beelzebub, if I call, you still don't show up, is that because you're angry with me?" - Blue eyes looked at the sculpture thoughtfully, she was still not sure what the relationship between the two of them really was.
She don't remember that. The closer a memory is to death, the faster it will be remembered.
Lam sighed, seemingly really angry. Awakening is the process in which a Lilism controls and unleashes its full power. So which type is she, uncontrolled, unexcited or both?
According to her memories, every time she sang or danced, she would unintentionally use her powers. Or sometimes just losing control of her emotions will have the same result.
"In less than 3 years, if I don't hurry, I'll have to die again?" - Lam looked at herself in the mirror and then looked at the crystal sculpture. - "Does it look like that?"
Thanh Lam closed her eyes and lay still on the bed, she wanted to sleep. She must regain the memories that were originally hers. Maybe, just maybe, she would find a way to awaken.
Lam fell into a deep sleep, or rather, Tina. In her sunken memories, in her 12 previous reincarnations, only the last 4 times she received help from Leonel, one of her Lilism siblings. It can be said that thanks to him, deaths seem gentler, less painful. She can choose her own way to die without being stoned to death or burned alive like the first few times.
...
I am Hoan An, the younger brother of the heir to An Duong real estate company. That's right, it's you. Because I'm only the second wife's daughter, my father didn't give me the right to inherit. Because I was too powerless to do housework, every time I went to school, I always wanted to be the most special, the best and recognized by everyone.
But first place has never been mine, not even once. It belongs to Le Thanh Lam, a girl whose family background is only moderately wealthy, with a face that is nothing too remarkable.
What does that girl have that I don't have? I thought so. I vented all my anger on those who did not dare to resist, their cries of resignation were like a sedative to me.
That day, I was in the same class as Le Thanh Lam. I knew I was the one who started the fight first, but that way of responding made me hate that girl more and more. She once made Trinh Ngoc Han's sisters speechless and not daring to touch it. To me, it seems to me that it was only ironic and not offensive like the other two.
But that's not what's remarkable. Over the next few months, her face seemed to be peeled back and rebuilt. It transforms slowly, then becomes a person who can capture the hearts of others with just one look. Her eyes were originally dark brown but suddenly they became visibly lighter. Then the day of the class play, right in the last scene, it turned completely blue, for just a split second.
What did I think at that time? It may be surprise mixed with a little fear. But later I had an even more stupid thought, because this is the person who can help me achieve my goal. I decided to humble myself and be willing to give Thanh Lam my fake and ridiculous attention. Very soon, doing that made me extremely regretful.
