Chapter 355: A surprise (1/2)
Silvaria World Inst.i.tute, free trade zone.
This place is where the students can set up stalls and sell their stuff for credits or barter them for their desired items. Due to the sheer number of stalls and items, a lot of people come here every day to buy and sell stuff. There are even those who are hoping to cash in on fools who have got eyes but not the skill to appraise treasures.
Today, there’s a couple here who don’t look like they are here to trade or sniffing for treasures.
Hinagiku crossed her arms while tapping her arm with her index fingers. Judging by her annoyed expression and furrowed brows, she’s not very amused at the moment.
Meanwhile, the guy at her side ignored her expression and kept dragging the girl from one stall to another while throwing jabs at the ridiculous items that are on display. Although the girl didn’t reply, he still found ways to keep the monologue going. He has been doing this for the past 3 hours.
The two of them are just window shopping but when they toured the whole place once and the guy actually suggested turning back and check out the stalls one more time, even a fool would know that the guy had ulterior motives.
Hinagiku is gradually building up her fury as the character appeared at her temples. Watching Wu Yan talk to himself while revisiting stalls made her angrier.
Hinagiku snapped, she stopped and she made sure Wu Yan stopped by blocking off his path. She yelled at him.
“Yan, what are you doing?!”
Wu Yan was caught off guard by Hinagiku’s sudden outburst. He smiled at her while shrugging.
“Hey, you are talking like I am trying to pull something here.”
Although her eyebrows are still furrowed, at least her anger died down a bit.
“Well yeah, but you can’t keep doing this…”
“Ha? Do what thing?”
Raising an eyebrow, her lips twitched. She lowered her head before she unleashed her howling skill.
“What do you mean what?! I am talking about you dragging me through the stalls five times without buying anything!”
Wu Yan raised his hands and made some s.p.a.ce between the two of them. It’s not because he wanted Kaichou-sama’s face further away from him, he just wanted to avoid getting hit by saliva which had been in the air. If he wanted her saliva, he would much prefer getting it from the source.
“Well, calm down, Hinagiku…”
Wu Yan beamed at her.
“Just treat it as me having a psychotic episode. Come on, let’s get loose…”
“I am not doing this with you!”
Hinagiku rolled her eyes at him and she turned around.
“I am going home..”
“Please don’t!”
Wu Yan grabbed Hinagiku by the hand. He pulled her back despite her protest.
“It’s not like you have anything better to do at home, just relax and kill some time with me…”
Hinagiku asked him in a slightly begging tone.
“Yan, can we stop with the mind games? If you got something to say just say it, don’t make me jump through all these hoops…”
Wu Yan rubbed his cheek and he clenched his hold on her hand.
“You don’t have anything better to do right? Come browse the stalls with me, is it that hard?”
Hinagiku wanted to say something but she couldn’t resist Wu Yan’s puppy eyes. And so, she got dragged along by Wu Yan like a helpless kid.
They went around the stalls until the sun went down.
On their way back home, Hinagiku is fuming, her footsteps are hastened as well so it didn’t take a genius to figure out that she’s mad. Wu Yan followed her while trying not to anger her anymore. From an outsider’s point of view, it’s like they are having a lover’s quarrel.
It’s only to be expected, he made her follow his meaningless journey around the free trade zone. She’s not known for her patience as well so he’s lucky she’s only mad at him.
When Hinagiku slammed the villa’s door open while fuming, the scene that unfolded in front of her surprised her.
