Chapter 22 - Fragile Looking Snow White (1/2)
”So? What's the point of us coming here if we are just going to sit here?” Zaki's voice was filled with boredom as he stuck his face to the car's window, while his lazy eyes focused on the crowded place across the road.
”How about you stay here and I go?” he continued, but Sei instantly answered him with an intensely sharp glare, telling him that he would lose his legs the moment he stepped out of the car. Zaki's face fell as though he was about to die from boredom and let out a deep and disappointed sigh.
But after a few minutes, Zaki just couldn't keep his mouth shut and started talking again.
”Do you really intend to just wait here forever? You see, women take forever when they go out shopping, okay? How about I go after her and take a video of her in secret while you watch here? Here, I'll use thi---,”
”No need.”
”Huh? Listen to m---,” Zaki couldn't continue talking because Sei suddenly lifted his phone and a live video of Davi, talking happily to a few lively vegetable sellers, was already playing on it.
”Who the hell did you send?!”
”YiJin.”
”Why that brat instead of me? Why?” Zaki tugged his own brown hair looking so damn disappointed, as if he was a kid who just failed to get the role he wanted for their primary school stage play, while Sei completely ignored him and just focused on the girl on his phone.
After an hour, Zaki was already at his limit and was about to burst when Sei finally put his phone down and looked out the window without any expression. Zaki also abruptly awakened and his boredom instantly disappeared as he stuck his face to the window.
A girl in commoner's clothes was walking with bags of vegetables in her hands. Her long black silky hair was tied up and she was completely barefaced, yet people around her couldn't help but stare, as if a goddess suddenly appeared in the middle of the noisy market. Her white, porcelain skin glowed even whiter under the sun making her appear as though she was Snow White.
Watching her somehow made Zaki felt refreshed, as though she was an oasis in the vast, dry desert.
However, what happened next slowly made the car's temperature drop down to below zero degrees. And seeing that the oasis was about to be muddied by some filthy creatures, Zaki's fist instantly clenched, turning his knuckles as white as ever.
