Chapter 358 - NOT FUNNY (2/2)

But to him, she was irresistibly beautiful.

”One more step, and you will have broken fingers in addition to the broken ribs.” She said before turning her head to the side arrogantly.

”Pfft!” Kaito could not stop himself from laughing.

The laugh made Akira mad because she thought he was not taking her seriously.

And she was not wrong. That image of her raising her nose in the air at him while looking away arrogantly was too funny to Kaito. She was like a small cute animal. Even when she was angry, she could not help looking adorable.

It made him want to tease her.

”Do you think this is funny?” She asked with dangerous eyes.

Kaito composed himself.

”No, not funny. I am just happy that you still care enough for me to stop and talk to me. I am laughing because of how lucky I am to have you.” He brownnosed.

”Hehe.” Akira laughed coldly. ”Since when do you have me? And don't you have so many people at your side? I am so happy you even remember me.”

Even though she was acting brave, she was still in a lot of pain. And seeing Kaito caused her heart to hurt again. She had not yet convinced herself to let him go.

”Regardless of the number of people around me, I only want you.” He responded.

”So you admit you have a lot of people around you.” She retorted.

Kaito felt his head aching at that reply. It was hard to placate her when she chose to be unreasonable. However, the feeling of frustration was also a little sweet. Since Akira was willing to quarrel with him, there was still hope.

”I do have people around me, but they are not you. It is a different kind of closeness. To me, you are a person I want to spend my life knowing.” He tried to explain his feelings as clearly as possible.

Akira huffed and turned her head. She expected him to say that she was the only one for him and some other nonsense. However, this response was more honest and touching. But she could not let things go with just that reply.

”Who is Hu Lei?” She asked.

That name was like a stone on her heart. She could overlook almost everything, but there was nothing more insulting than being called a substitute. Though it was Ayumi who had brought it up, she felt uncomfortable when she thought about it.

”Just some random woman,” Kaito said airily.

”Cover yourself a little more.” He scolded her even though she was wearing a warm onesie. ”Azure Woods is cold.”

”There is a heater.” Hu Lei rolled her eyes. ”It is probably just a petty person talking badly about me.”
