Wasn't he supposed to feel touched at this moment? She decided that if she meets him in [Guardians sanctuary] she'd get her revenge.
"Alright, enough talking about the game for now, my mind's starting to get fuzzy, how about we have some fun" he suggested while rubbing his temple.
Xiao Hua wasn't too happy with him but she knew that it had indeed been a long day for him and there was a lot to take in. Her gaze softened unconsciously.
"Alright, go get some rest" she said as she got up to leave.
"Ah? W-wait.." Lliw hollered. He didn't expect her to leave.
"What is it?" She turned back and asked. She was laughing inside. Of course she understood his thoughts.
"..." Lliw blushed awkwardly. He couldn't just tell her that he wanted to sing some KTV. He had never been to a KTV before and wanted to try it out, especially now that he was here with a such a beautiful woman.
"Damn bastard, enjoy the repercussions for your previous transgressions" she thought, feeling quite happy that she managed to find a way to get him back so quickly.
" Look, I've been away from my family for too long. I'd better go back soon.' She said.
"Alright, I'll walk you back" he gave up on the thought to make her stay a little longer. He knew from old man Mu that she wasn't from Red Sky city so he figured that she didn't know the place too well.
"Alright."
They walked out of the KTV and decided against taking a taxi back to old man Mu's house. They walked through the street, stealing the gaze of all the men. Lliw had never liked staring at a girl, no matter how beautiful she was. He felt uncomfortable by all the naked stares even though they weren't directed at him. He figured that she was also uncomfortable. He unconsciously took her hand and increased his walking speed.
She was quite surprised by his actions but then understood. Truth was, the stares never bothered her. Not that she liked it, she knew that she couldn't stop them and that she'd have to face this situation her whole life so she learned to ignore their gaze. She also walked faster without withdrawing her hand from his.
After a while, they finally reached old man Mu's home. They both chose to ignore what had just happened.
"Are you going to come up?" She asked.
"...no. I don't want to ruin your family reunion." He rejected the offer.
"Oh. Alright. Good bye" She said before heading into the elevator.
"Dang, I forgot to get her name" he muttered depressed. Here was one of the most beautiful women he'd ever seen and he forgot to ask her name.
"Sigh.." he sighed heavily before turning around to walk away. He walked unenergetically through the bustling street. He hadn't gotten too far before somebody tapped him on his shoulder. He raised his head to meet the person and his soul left his body.
"What kind of expression is that?" Jane said with a small frown on her face. Why is it that every time she met him he'd show a terrified expression?
"Ahem what are you doing here?" Lliw asked. He was shocked to see her outside of school. She still looked as beautiful as always. She had a stylish black dress and black high heels. Her hair was styled elegantly giving the picture of a mature young woman however, he knew for a fact she wasn't.
" A friend from far away is visiting here so I wanted to go and meet her" she said while offering him some gum. He took two pieces to which she glared at him poutingly but didn't take it back.
Lliw didn't realise it but he didn't really see her as the Principal's daughter or as the schools princess. To him, she was just the She-Rex.
" Oh, I see. Then why did call me?" He asked feeling quite exasperated. This girl always did weird things.
" Ah well... I don't really know the area too well so ..." She said while shyly lowering her gaze.
" Oh. Ok where do you need to go?" He asked. Since it something simple he wouldn't mind.
" Follow me " she said excitedly and grabbed his hand before pulling him the direction he'd just come from. Lliw decided to enjoy the feeling of her soft hand on his own and accompanied her.
In old man Mu's home.
The old man bombarded his granddaughter with a barrage of questions to which she answered patiently.
Her parents also wanted to talk to her but the old man chased them away as he talked to his precious granddaughter. Xiao Hua also like her grandfather just as much. She liked his kind-hearted nature which was quite different from her father's. Her father was a business man. There's no kindness in business and she didn't like that.
She and her parents didn't have the best of relationships.
" Right, Xiao Hua, what did you think of little Lliw?" The old man asked expectantly.
"Er, he was...ok" she said awkwardly. She wondered how her grandpa would react if he found out that they had already kissed 3 times.
"Haha see. What did I tell you? That boy is a rare breed" the old man laughed and said to his son and daughter-in-law. The 2 just smiled awkwardly.
"Dad, we've been meaning to tell you something." Xiao Gus's father said bitterly.
