Chapter 480 - Peach coloured blossoms (2/2)
”Cherry blossoms are pretty, but so are peach blossoms,” Mari said.
”Good job.”
Gee, what's with these two and their strange comments?
Rhys reaches over and extends his hand out to touch the blossom. ”Peach blossoms are so small, round, and cute. They're just like you.” He said.
Lyn pulled a poker face at that comment, ”I am neither small nor cute.”
He formerly had such thoughts before. There is nothing remotely cute about this stubborn and reckless girl. But the more time he spent with her, the more he realized.
”Ah, but weren't you in a small ball shape earlier?”
”Lyn curls up into a ball shape when she is sad.” A small voice suddenly said.
Is that so... Eh, wait where did that voice come from?
”Psst over here.”
That was when he spotted the girls white scarf wrapped around her neck. No, it's not a scarf, on closer inspection, it was an animal.
”A--fox?” Rhys said, surprised. Seldom anything surprised him these days, even Lyn acting cute and clingy. But now he could not hide his shock. What on earth is happening here?
Lyn immediately hushed him by covering his mouth with her hands. ”Ssh! Be quiet. What if someone hears you?” she trails off. ”It would be bad for me.”
Well yeah, the strange flying pixies beside him is one thing. But bringing a dangerous animal is pushing it. As much as Rhys wanted to scold her, he had other things to focus on. This position for one. Does this silly girl have any id-- his thoughts broke off when he saw the girl's look.
No, it was not her eyes. But the red color on her cheeks. Rhys could not believe it. ”Hey…” Rhys spoke up nervously. ”Could I hold your hand and shamelessly treat this as a date?”
Not once in his life has he ever said anything so shameless and stupid before. But this girl makes him do very strange things. Lyn laughed softly but grabbed hold of his hand. His eyes widened at the contact.
”Well, I guess we could since we are here anyway.”
She did not say yes exactly, but this was more than enough confirmation for him.
