Chapter 56 Ethans warning (1/2)
Lexi inhaled then heavily exhaled ad she closed her eyes -- trying to calm herself. The scene earlier was akin to a romance movies she had partake in in the past.
At first, she often find it absurd for the female lead to trip or something similar just for the trick to happen. Who would have thought that Churu who watched too many dramas would do the same trick to her?
”Alright,”
”I'm absolve, chu~?” Churu's eyes shimmered with hope upon hearing her understanding tone.
”For helping me gain points? Yes. But using you one time skill without my consent? No.” Lexi firmly uttered.
Considering that Churu only acted on what she thinks is right, however, Lexi spoiled her too much to the extent of using the rewards that the both of them gained without the other person's permission -- especially Lexi who was the host of the system. Therefore, she needed to discipline the adorable sorry dumpling or else, no one knows what she'll become when she 'grows up'.
Churu frowned and hang her head low; reflecting on her real mistake this time. Indeed, she was too mad at the sight of Morris Liu that made her lose her cool and didn't consent with Lexi about using the one time skill. Now, she could no longer help her physically when Lexi really needed it.
”Sorry, chu…” This time, Churu's tone was more sincere and sounded that she did understood her wrong.
”Forgiven…”
”Really, chu?” Churu instantly raised her sparkling eyes towards Lexi's merciful countenance. Alas, to her dismay, Lexi's next word made her fully regret.
”But, you'll still receive your punishment. No facial sessions for two, no, one week.” Lexi affirmed and decided to reduced the cute dumpling's punishment time.
”Nuu~!” Chru weeped for the days that her beautiful flawless face wouldn't meet the greatest creation of humankind called facial mask. This kind of punishment was more harrowing to Churu than being beaten to a pulp.
She rolled and stumped her chubby little arms and feet, alternately on the front passenger seat as she cry a river.
”Boohoo, chu~!” Churu sobbed which slightly relieved Lexi from the foreboding tension earlier with Morris Liu.
Thinking of her ex-fiance, a bitter smile formed on the side of her lips. Surely, the ploy orchestrated by Churu might lead to a misunderstanding between Morris Liu and Ethan.
If it was other men, Lexi wouldn't have to worry as she wanted to live without Morris Liu in her mind, hence, she won't care if he misunderstand her again. Alas, moving on is easier said than done. Moreover, her task was to make Ethan Lu who is Morris Liu's bestfriend fall in love with her!
What kind of chaos does this system wants to do with her? Why Ethan of all people? Lexi sighed asking all the why's and getting 'chu' answer from Churu.
