Chapter 511 - What if.. (2/2)

”Your like is clearly different than mine. But....I guess I can take that.” Rhys said especially since she's smiling so very brightly right now.

Lyn tilts her head in confusion at his words. ”Since the others will be awhile…and my place is nearby, do you want to read together?”

”Books? Okay!!!” Lyn said excitedly.

Her excitement embarrassed him and he looked away. 'What's with her..'

..

S--so, he brought her here. But, his gaze landed on Lila perched on his bed and looking around the room curiously. He should have at least cleaned up. First, there's no place for her to sit but the bed. No, calm down. It's not like anything can happen.

The others, probably won't be too long. But, he figured that if they stayed in the library any longer, somebody would spot them.

”What kind of book is this?”

”Which--” Rhys pauses in mid-sentence seeing her hold up a book.' Read this, and you'll get closer to her. 'That dammed Ameno. He played it repeatedly, and he still doesn't understand what he's supposed to learn from it. What's more, it's a girl's book.

”It' s--- it's not mine.”

”Oh, I see. It looked pretty, so I wanted to play it.”

Gah. . .why does she look so sad? Damn. Oujiro takes the game from her hands and slips it inside the console. ”It's mine, and I got it for you.”

Lyn stared at him for a few minutes before she laughed, ”I see. For a moment, I thought you would use this as a chance to get close to me.”

Rhys looked at her speechless. It seems like she understood already. He supposes there is no need to pretend anymore. But he does not know how to tell her.

”Ah, even though it's a girly book. Is it okay to read it together?”

”It's fine.”

Since they can be together, he does not mind what they do these days as long as they spend it together. Lyn sat down on his lap, and he blinked. Right so this is what she means by reading it together? It seems like he has underestimated her yet again. If he knew reading involved getting so close like this, Rhys would have rejected her on the spot.

Why would he dare do something this risky? It is already difficult for him daily, why would he do something suicidal? He cannot risk Lyn disliking him.

He pressed his lips on her temple and Lyn laughed. ”What's wrong Rhys? Are you okay?”

”I was thinking something.”

”I see, mmm me too.” Lyn trailed off. ”Say Rhys, how much longer will things remain peaceful?”

At that comment he blinked. ”It isn't exactly peaceful now.”

”I mean between us. How much longer will--” Rhys cuts her off by pressing his fingers on her lips.

”Don't think of anything too complicated.”
