Chapter 167 - 3》14 "Mei's Thoughts"

"Limma are you okay?"

Limma clung to the ice rink she had fallen into, lowered her head, and muttered as she sweated, not daring to lift it.

"All together..."

why?

Wherever he went, he encountered these time bombs?!

"I'm not well", standing up quickly. "I'm going home, I'm sick, very sick!" He walked away without looking back.

His friend "..."

"Weird, what happened to that girl?" Shrugging, he continued to drive.

***

Mei and Nanren were experiencing the awkwardness of being together again.

Especially Mei did not like Nanrenden at all. She had a thousand words to describe her, even though she had only seen it once in her life.

"Disgraceful, ungrateful, disgrace to humanity, scheming, hypocritical, ruthless, manipulator..."

Thanks to the news, he was a person whose name was not missing.

He glanced at Nanren out of the corner of his eye. He was looking at Yun with a slightly sad face…?

He smelled gossip...

He stared at Nanren with wide eyes, like a cat that had seen a fish. Of course he was very curious.

Yun and Naraf were stubborn, not holding back from each other as they showed off their best moves without hesitation. Feeling that this was going to take a long time, Mei left to get something hot.

"A hot chocolate" paused, looked back. He was alone...

"Get two"

Of course, brother did not soften! It was just because they were partners! Partner!

And so that he doesn't kill her in the future!

Mei proceeded with two cups of hot chocolate, ignoring the fact that she was trying to buy her life with a hot chocolate.

"Take this" he handed it to Nanren. His tone was definitely harsher and colder. Just like at school.

Nanren looked at her hand, stunned. Then she reached out, thanking him lightly.

stunned? It was an expression he hadn't expected from him. And thank you? NANREN THANKS HIM!

Mei fell silent, feeling awkward.

'This is his mask, remember, he had trapped a lot of people like that' Mei tried to pull herself together.

He didn't want to be one of the victims whose name was in the news later on...

Mei glanced back at Nanren out of the corner of her eye as she silently sipped her hot chocolate.

So this is what the dictator who once set countries against each other looked like up close.

A little...childish!

Mei tried to stay alert and kept her eyes on him in case it would reveal any true thoughts.

Nanren, on the other hand, did not take her eyes off Yun. Or was it his secret enemy? It could have been, after all, Yun was the other bad guy, he might see her as his rival.

huh? Wait ? What is that suspicious redness on your face? Her ears are also slightly pink...

Mei's eyes turned to the person on the runway, Yun was literally flying as the people around her were cheering excitedly…

Mei sipped her chocolate, eyes again on Nanren.

His eyes were shining and the sadness from a while ago seemed to have subsided.

"Agh!"

For a moment, Mei burned her mouth from overdoing the hot chocolate. On the other hand, he was thinking about a possibility that he thought impossible but still couldn't deny.

"Are you okay ?!" Nanren asked, holding out a napkin. In his other hand, he held an unopened bottle of water in his hands.

"Yes," as soon as he wiped his mouth, he drank the water to his head, trying to relieve his burnt tongue.

'Strange,' she thought. He wouldn't have been so kind, even if it was for the part.

"Thanks" he said sincerely after drinking the water.

Nanren shook his head, then turned his gaze back to the track. Mei is back to him...

That's... absurd, but it should have justified the possibility.

Should I ask directly? No, something like that was too specific to ask directly.

Should it be hinted at?

No, it still wouldn't be a pleasant situation. What's more, if it was a wrong guess, he wouldn't be able to look her in the face again!

So… observing by asking close questions seemed the only logical way.

Mei turned her gaze back to the person on the runway.

White hair was swaying, the supple and fast body was moving freely around the track. Yun...

"Oh, Yun is always like this?" He threw out the food.

Nanren looked at her in disbelief.

'Of course,' he thought, 'he immediately caught his attention'.

"He is very bad in relationships, emotionally. She doesn't even understand how to console her friend when she cries"

Mei looked into her reddened eyes. Even though it's been so tiny that it's barely noticeable...

"Ah…" Nanren again lowered his head sadly.

'Oh oh omg, so sweet!' Mei felt like she had been shot in the heart. Then…he paused. Wait...

Mei:...

So...was it true?!

He cried and Yun stood up like wood? He turned his head in shock to the person who was praised as 'perfect' by those around him. He thought he'd be stunned to offer consolation, but it wasn't that bad...

Since Nanren and Yun were staying in the same house, he guessed that Nanren would have heard of her crying. Honestly it was just a guess, but...

It turned out right!

And that was too much!!

Unable to hold her tongue, Mei spoke.

This time he wasn't trying to test Nanren, he was expressing his true feelings.

"I've seen the blind, I haven't seen anything like this"

Shocked could be felt by the tone of his voice.

When he looked at Mei Nanren again, seeing her eyes turn red, she was somewhat more confident in her guess.

But still, she didn't want to dwell on a stupid guess. That's why she wasn't going to decide until she was sure.

"Was very good!"

As people shouted "again" to the clapping and cheering, Mei turned her attention to the direction of the crowd and the sound.

Naraf and Yun were exhausted as they approached.

"I lost." Yun gave up and sat down, Naraf slumped next to him, "You call that losing?" he said, shaking his head.

Nanren handed Yun the towel, not realizing where or when he had taken it. Naraf, on the other hand, snorted, looking at Yun with a 'he'll treat me better when he finds out I'm his older brother' look at Yun. However, this seems to be a consolation.

Naraf looked at Mei with hope, Mei shrugging her empty hands out to the sides.

Naraf:...

Naraf: Brutal!

Then, Mei looked at Yun, who thanked Nanren as if she was just following the rules of politeness.

His hands were avoiding. He was seriously feeling the urge to tattoo!

Her heart melted as she glanced at Nanren out of the corner of her eye.

'Oh but I'll eat this!' she was saying inwardly. 'This is so innocent!' She hadn't even learned to hide her feelings yet, what's wrong? huh?

She also had at least 1 year to act as worse. It was earlier... it was smaller...

When he looked at Mei Yun, he glared at Yun, thinking, 'this is how the worst is going to happen'.

Sensing his gaze, Yun looked at Mei in surprise. Why was he suddenly turned against her?

Yun : ?

Mei muttered 'don't understand', suppressing the urge to yell openly on her face.

'If he was like this in his previous life, it's understandable that he was bad, he must have gone crazy in the end, what a shame...'

He turned his gaze ruefully to Nanren.
