Summary: The male protagonist is always wrong

Nanali heard footsteps again. She could recognize that familiar footsteps. Each step was extremely rhythmic, elegant and unhurried, like a peaceful piece of music. Those were Yin Li's footsteps.

When she heard the footsteps of her brother Yin Li, she felt like a traveler in the desert who saw a clear spring and finally saw the light of day. Her lips moved as if she wanted to call him.

But at the same time, Lelouch's voice interrupted her.

"Ah, I fired the gun. Shouldn't a despicable person like him who threatens other people's lives be punished?"

He raised the gun in his hand again and pointed it at Mao, his fingertips already on the trigger, the bullet ready to be fired.

Nunnally didn't expect him to be so ruthless, and her throat was dry as she uttered, "Brother..."

"Lelouch, don't!" CC rushed forward and stood in front of Mao.

Lelouch still held the gun tightly. "How weak! Why didn't you understand before you abandoned him? Either take his power or his life. It's because of your indecision that Nunnally..."

"Wait, Lelouch, just talk to him nicely..."

Mao dragged his injured body towards CC and grabbed her trouser legs, "CC, CC, you really do love me!"

Even Nunnally moved forward in her automatic wheelchair, standing in front of Lelouch according to her own instincts. "Brother, stop. Don't add to your sins."

Yin Li looked at the chaotic scene coldly.

Mao's matter is related to CC and Lelouch, but has nothing to do with him.

Yin Li walked past Lelouch, walked to Nunnally's side and held her hand, "Nunally, forget these sad things."

Nanali frowned in confusion, "Eh? Brother Yinli, what are you talking about? Go and stop my brother quickly, he can't kill anymore..."

"I know, Nunnally."

Yin Li squatted down, and her voice sounded like she was coaxing a baby to sleep.

Nunnally could hear the lullaby that played beside her bed as a child, and her still-living mother looked at her tenderly.

"Go to sleep, Nunnally."

"Nunally, Lelouch will always be your brother. Nothing happened tonight. You just had a nightmare. When you wake up, everything will be forgotten."

There was a blurry yet warm light flashing in front of her eyes. Nunnally's eyelids drooped, her breathing slowed down, and she fell into a deep sleep with her head tilted.

Seeing that Nunnally's problem was finally resolved, Lelouch breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the girl sleeping soundly in the wheelchair, he said from the bottom of his heart, "Thank you, Yin Li."

Mao stared at Yin Li and said resentfully, "It's you again, you ruined my plan!"

Mao's resentful gaze seemed to want to penetrate Yin Li's brain. He concentrated his attention and wanted to listen to some of Yin Li's inner thoughts, those weaknesses, those secrets, and those unbearable memories in the deepest part of his heart.

Suddenly he saw something funny and burst into laughter.

Yin Li knew clearly that his memory contained too many secrets and the system would never allow him to read it successfully.

Yin Li didn't know why he laughed so loudly, but it was probably just because of some trivial matter.

He looked coldly at Mao, who had fallen to the ground laughing, and commented, "Boring."

Mao covered his injured hand and laughed out loud, "Lelouch, you have nothing left, are you happy? I won, I won, hahahaha."

That sharp, piercing laugh, coupled with his inexplicable words, made Lelouch feel uneasy for no reason. "Shut up!"

"I will leave with Mao. That's it, Lelouch. Are you satisfied?" CC waved his hand and squatted back beside Mao.

Lelouch felt unwilling to see CC choose Mao between the two of them.

In addition, CC has information about Mariana, so Lelouch will never let her go.

"No, you know too many of my secrets. I can't let you leave."

CC scoffed at this, "Don't be ridiculous, Lelouch."

Yin Li watched the two quarreling with cold eyes. He took a step back and said, "I have fulfilled my promise."

"It's over, Lelouch."

After saying that, Yin Li didn't look at him, turned around and pushed Nanali's wheelchair away.

CC seemed to realize the deeper meaning behind Yin Li's words, and looked at his back thoughtfully as he left.

She stared at Lelouch, her eyes like a spotlight that illuminated all the haze in his heart, leaving nothing to hide.

"Lelouch, is Nunnally so important to you?"

Is it important enough to give up everything for it, important enough to destroy everything for it?

CC suddenly believed that he might actually be able to follow the path of Shura and fulfill her wish.

But at the same time she was also disappointed with Lelouch.

Lelouch thought CC was trying to excuse Mao by saying this, so he said without hesitation, "Of course, Nunnally is more important than my life. So he must die here, and I will not tolerate any threat to her life."

CC sighed and stared at Mao lying in a mess on the ground for a long time.

Then he began to tell everything about Mao, as if it were his last words.

"The power of the Geass I gave Mao forced him to stay away from people, so I am both Mao's relative, friend, and lover, and also an outsider."

Mao seemed to sense something and crawled towards her frantically, "CC, CC, I love you so much too..."

"To Mao, I am the only human being, and I am everything in the world."

CC raised his gun and pointed it at Mao's panicked face, "Goodbye..."

Chapter 244 Lelouch 21

When Lelouch returned home, Nunnally had already gone to bed. He just looked at the girl on the bed through the moonlight outside the window.

Although he knew in his heart that everything he did was unacceptable to Nunnally, and even that it was just his wishful thinking, he still felt a heart-wrenching pain when Nunnally denied him.

Nunnally seemed to want to tear his heart out, and every word she said tortured him over and over again.

Finally, only a sigh echoed in the dim room.

Lelouch closed the door and left Nunnally's room, returning to Yin Li's bedroom.

The curtains were not drawn tightly, and the moonlight shone through the curtains onto the young man on the bed and onto his long, smooth, black hair.

There was no light in the room, and Yin Li's light and steady breathing, again and again, soothed Lelouch's thoughts.

Lelouch desperately needed comfort, and he whispered the boy's name, "Yin Li."

The sound was so low that it almost blended into the quiet night.

The person on the bed didn't respond.

Lelouch climbed onto the bed quietly, stretched out his hands to embrace his soft body, the warm body temperature penetrated through the clothes to his heart, and his bony hand grasped the boy's hand, overlapping his hands to absorb the warmth.

Lelouch used a little force to hug his body tightly. The boy's body was soft, and every inch seemed to fit perfectly with Lelouch.

After all the worry and fear today, my heart, which had been hanging in the air, has finally settled down.

Even though he was already asleep, Lelouch continued to kiss the side of his neck and mutter to himself.

"sorry Sorry......"

......

"This is a project that has been approved by the budget." Guild President Mirei slammed a large stack of documents in front of Yin Li. "Excuse me, Anwei-chan~ Let's work with Lelouch to get it done."

Yin Li moved the information in front of him and casually flipped through a few pages. "President, leave everything to me."

"Eh? But there are so many." President Mirei pressed down the paper documents.

Yin Li smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, I can do it alone."

President Mirei glanced at Lelouch and said, "Is that so? Then I'll leave it to you—"

Lelouch was silent on the side. Ever since Nunnally was kidnapped, Yin Li seemed to be avoiding him. Even if Lelouch was so slow, he should have noticed it.

Not only Yin Li, but also CC has not participated in the activities of the Black Knights recently.

Lelouch couldn't help but click his tongue, feeling a headache over this matter.

Yin Li had already opened the documents and started to sort them out, and the rustling sound of papers turning could be heard.

Lelouch reached out and took a stack of papers, "Let me help sort them out too. This way it will go faster."

Yin Li looked at him and smiled politely, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Lelouch froze in his tracks, and involuntarily increased the strength of his hands, leaving ugly finger-shaped wrinkles on the information. He uttered a few syllables with difficulty.

"...No, you're welcome."

The two of them sorted out the information silently and quickly.

President Mi Lei collected the organized information and jokingly said, "How efficient! Having a smart brain is a good thing."

Shirley had just finished training with the swimming club and returned to the student council to see Lelouch and Yin Li stiffly doing their own things. Although they were sitting next to each other, it felt like there was a wall between them.

Xia Li put down her bag and quietly pulled Mi Lei beside her. She looked at the two of them and asked in a low voice, covering her mouth, "President, what happened to them?"

"I don't know, maybe they had an argument?" Mirei followed her example, covering her mouth and whispering like spies exchanging information. "Just now, Anwei was very polite and thanked Lelouch. I've never seen them like that before."

Lival, who was standing by, watched the two of them talking mysteriously with their heads pressed together, and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

Charlie looked up. "Nothing!"

"Then, President, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first." Yin Li pulled out the chair and stood up.

"Ah, you've worked hard today. You should go back first." Mirei said, but couldn't help but look at Lelouch's expression.

After Yin Li left, the automatic door closed.

Mirei approached Lelouch with a curious look on her face, "What happened? Did you have a fight with Anwei? This is the first time I've seen Anwei be so distant towards you. What did you do to make him so disappointed?"

Charlie was also waiting for his answer curiously.

Disappointed?

Lelouch was stunned, as if he understood why Yin Li was angry.

He stood up suddenly, and the chair made a sharp friction sound against the floor, which made Charlie shrink her neck uncomfortably and raised her hands to cover her ears.

"I go first!"

Lelouch hurried out of the student council room.

Shirley put down her hand and looked at Lelouch's back in a daze, "He didn't answer anything..."
