39 Bonding (2/2)

I must have accidentally stared at her chest when I was thinking of Zhao Yunfei!

Van inwardly facepalmed and threw himself forward to hold her back and try to explain himself. He caught on to her just as she hopped down.

”Hey, let go of me!”

Her face contorted in anger as Van latched onto her. He weighed her down and when they hit the next branch, it couldn't support them. When he looked up, he was surprised to find her with such an expression on her face. It was most likely the most amount of emotion that he had found her show to date.

”Ahh!!!”

They both screamed as they fell down together. As a result, Van held on even tighter.

”I'm sorry for staring at your chest area! It was just an accident!”

Van was trying to get his first apology in before he had to apologize once again for latching onto her. They bumped into another branch, which shifted their positions. They both hit their heads onto the branch and passed out.

When Van came to, he opened his eyes to a pair of icy blue eyes staring right at him. He yelped in surprise and retreated back to the tree. He had never really been on a close basis with anyone except for his aunt, mother, and sisters.

He looked at her, to see if she was still angry at him. Instead, she seemed to be shy and looked away from him whenever she noticed that he was looking back. Van sat there looking confused and lost. What had happened to cause her to act the way she was currently acting?

Van thought back to what he had experienced just now. They had fallen and hit the branch, but that wasn't anything to fuss over. What else was there? Van's hands went to his lips and chest and his face turned a bright shade of red. Now, he could understand why the girl was acting the way she was.

”I'm sorry about that! I didn't mean to do it!”

He ran over to the girl and tried to explain himself. She looked back and him and opened her mouth to speak.

”That was my first time. Did you enjoy it?”

Van started to wave his hands frantically as he tried to find the appropriate response.

”No!”

That was what Van came up with, sadly, it wasn't what she had expected. She started to run off, silent tears sparkling as they fell down her petite face.

”That's not what I meant! I mean... that I did enjoy it!”

She stopped and turned around.

”You did?”

Her expression had a hint of disgust on it.

”I knew it! You were a pervert. I should've run when I saw you.”

She turned to leave but found that Van had put a hand on her shoulder.

”I'm sorry! I didn't mean to steal your first kiss. It was just that the fall made us end up like that. I'm not a pervert, could you please understand that?”

”Oh? So you didn't want to steal my first kiss. Does that mean you wanted to steal a different kiss from a different girl?”

Van couldn't tell what she was thinking because her face was turned away from him. He decided to get on his knees and beg her for forgiveness.

”Please! I really didn't mean to! Believe me.”

Silence reigned in the garden. All was still except for the rustling of the tree branches. All of a sudden, Van could hear a snickering sound come from in front of him. He lifted his head to find that the girl had fallen on the grass and had started to laugh.

Van stood there, confused at her actions. Wasn't she mad at him? Why wasn't she punishing him?

She sat up and wiped the tears from her eyes.

”I know it was an accident you dimwit. I'm not the type of girl that will use that as an excuse to attack you.”

”But what about that time that I accidentally stared at your chest?”

Her expression turned fierce again. Van started to speak up to defend himself but was cut off by her.

”I could tell you were thinking about something. Anyone could tell with that obvious dazed expression of yours, or were you so attracted by my body?”

She added a seductive tone that she had heard used by her mother once. She started to laugh even harder as she watched Van's face flush an even deeper shade of red.
