"Waiting for me!?"
Renji's mind went blank at those words. He didn't recognize the beautiful woman in front of him. Plus, with the rain seeming to get heavier around them, the young man suspected he had misheard her over the sound of the downpour.
The woman's next words seemed to confirm this.
Seeing the confusion and perplexity on the young man's face, as if she understood something, she quickly spoke again:
"Little brother, why are you sleeping in a place like this?"
Now that made more sense.
Renji took this blonde, green-eyed woman to be a kind passerby.
He waved his hand at the woman, indicating he was fine, and then went to stand up to find another spot.
Renji himself didn't know why he was doing this.
Maybe it was his inner pride and vanity acting up?
