History at the Library

Chapter 31

The well-spoken Lisa disappeared and she slurred the ends of her words. It was as if she had fallen unconscious with her eyes open wide.

Even Lisa herself realized that her reactions and thoughts were rather transparent. After all, even if she reached the summit of the field, she still had zero experience. No, even then, she would have never imagined that he'd ask her directly. It wasn't even a little romantic.

Lisa gripped her heavily pounding heart and replied with a serious expression.

"Scholar, you're far more daring than I thought."

Jeon chuckled as though he was struck speechless, "I don't think my Lady should be the one to say that."

"Since you've seen through my schemes already, it can't be helped. Will you be crossing the line?"

"What do you desire of me?"

"Dating."

"What do you desire from dating?" It was a soft voice as though he talked to a young child.

Lisa pressed her lips together into a line. He had figured out that Lisa had more to gain not from the act of dating, but to form romantic relationships.

Was he a ghost? Lisa thought in astonishment inwardly. She couldn't figure out which portion of their conversation had served as a hint. It was one thing for Jeon to realize that she liked him in a single glance, but it was a totally different thing for him to look through to her dark intentions.

Just as she had thought, he wasn't a normal man. He was a man with as many layers filled with mystery.

"There's nothing I could possibly want, right?"

"Is it revenge against the librarian's household that persecuted you?"

"What, no!"

It was a lie to say she was totally devoid of revenge. There were many nights where she would kick away the blankets and cry angrily, but, for Lisa, her life right now was far more exciting and fun. To be honest, she hated the fact that she had to waste time if she wanted to take revenge.

"Do you want wealth?"

"I don't need money."

Rather, she had more than enough to the point that it rotted away in her pocket.

"Fame? Power?"

"Is there anything in this world that is more tedious to take responsibility for than that?"

The reason that she used a pseudonym rather than her real name was she would lose her private life and be under surveillance all day and found such a situation burdensome.

No, before that, how would it be possible to obtain revenge, wealth, fame, or power from a relationship with a scholar?

Lisa spoke with a hand over heart, "I do not desire such materialistic things. I purely wish for Scholar Jeon himself."

To be honest, apart from liking him, she required experience to date someone so close to her ideal type. To be more specific, it was experience she required to accurately express the emotions that are involved with romance.

"Do you desire my heart?"

"While it is true that I hold interest in the scholar, I don't expect your heart."

While it would be great to have it, this wasn't a deciding factor.

The important thing was whether Lisa would be able to feel the same emotions and lust as the female protagonist. Of course, it was also helpful to understand the male protagonist's psychology.
