Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

Chapter 13: He had just come down from the mountains

William finally got his own cell phone, and Lila seemed to discover something subtly.

William was incredibly fast at learning. He seemed to be able to remember anything that was explained just once, so she simply taught William how to type and search for information on his phone.

If there was anything he didn't understand, he could ask Google, where there were more professional and standardized answers.

Indeed, William lived up to expectations. What took others several years to learn, he mastered in just ten minutes. Even the smartphone, a device that baffles many seniors, was no match for him.

As William was searching for various unusual questions, he complained, "If you had told me earlier that I could find so much information on the phone, I wouldn't have had to ask you so many questions."

Almost infuriated, Lila thought, was this her fault?

How could she have known that William was a complete blank slate, as if he had been isolated from the world?

And how could she have known that this simpleton would learn things so quickly?

However, she finally endured it. At least now William wouldn't bother her with boring and idiotic questions anymore.

Once William got back into the car, he didn't talk to Lila anymore. His fingers moved quickly on the screen. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was a homebody who spent all his time on his phone.

The journey from school to the museum was only ten kilometers. They were stuck in traffic for nearly twenty minutes, but William didn't seem to mind at all. He silently used his phone, slowly resolving his various questions.

This era was so much better than before. You could basically find any information you needed with just a smartphone.

"We're here," Lila said as she parked the car near the museum, alerting William.

Taking a shallow breath, William put away his phone, looked at Lila, and said, "Thank you."

Lila was stunned. Was his reaction a little slow? Why was he thanking her at this time?

She got out of the car, but William remained seated...

Suddenly, Lila understood what William meant when he said thank you earlier, and her face darkened.

Was his "thank you" a request for her to help open the car door again?

"I can't believe this!" With clenched fists, Lila gritted her teeth and went to the passenger side door to open it for William.

William nonchalantly got out of the car, without even glancing at Lila, his eyes already focused on the museum not far away.

A museum is a place where objects representing nature and human cultural heritage are collected, stored, displayed, and studied...

In other words, you can see things from many years ago here.

William's eyes squinted slightly. He was somewhat nostalgic. Whenever he woke up in the past, he would always travel around to see what was left behind, to see the descendants of old friends, and to reminisce about some interesting past events.

As they just arrived at the steps of the New York City Museum, a girl dressed in a JK outfit and sporting twin tails came to greet them, followed by a tall young man.

When Lila saw the young man, her expression visibly soured.

"Lila, you made me wait long enough," the twin-tailed girl said as she approached and looped her arm with Lila's. She looked at William and asked, "Lila, who is this? I've never seen him before."

Lila didn't know how to introduce William, so she could only say, "His name is William."

"William, this is my friend Emily."

William nodded at Emily.

"Lila, I haven't seen you in a long time."

As they were speaking, the young man behind Emily had already come over to greet Lila.

Lila offered a reserved, polite smile, saying, "Indeed, it's been a while."

"Aren't you going to introduce us? This wouldn't be your boyfriend, would it?" The young man glanced at William and chuckled, "I admit I was impulsive when I confessed to you last time, but you don't have to find a random guy just to spite me, do you?"

Lila's expression suddenly cooled. Her polite smile earlier was merely an attempt not to completely sever relations. Her good upbringing ensured that she could maintain an appropriate distance with anyone, but the young man's words gave her a sense of being offended.

"David, at most, we're just ordinary friends, so I have no need to find someone to spite you," Lila retorted, raising an eyebrow. "Plus, I had no idea you were coming. Please don't overthink things."

There was another sentence she didn't say aloud: If I knew you'd be here, I wouldn't have come.

Lila thought, this undertone should be discernible to anyone clever enough.

"So, is he your boyfriend or not?" David insisted. Clearly, he wasn't one of the clever ones.

William simply looked at David without saying a word. He never involved himself in the petty jealousies over women. After all, in the past, women were the ones getting jealous over him.

"Whether he's my boyfriend or not seems to have nothing to do with you," Lila responded coldly. "If you continue like this, I think we won't even be able to remain friends."

David quickly replied, "Alright, I won't ask anymore. Is that okay?"

Finishing, he extended his hand to William, "I'm David Thomas."

William glanced at him without showing any intention of shaking his hand.

Shaking hands with a stranger, especially a male one, was not a pleasant experience.

"You!" David felt ignored, frowning at William. He was not happy!

Lila sighed and said, "Alright, William just came back from the mountains. Don't hold it against him, and don't bother us. Can we each go our separate ways here?"

"Fine!" David nodded, gritting out the word between clenched teeth. His gaze towards William grew increasingly unfriendly.

Why was Lila defending a wild kid who just came out of the mountains?
