Chapter 462 (2/2)

“Alright.”

Maru smiled at the little child who waved at him before walking around to the back of the audience. He could see the figure of a girl busily moving around amongst the crowd which kept increasing in number. Actually, as she had done dancing since young, she had a good figure and her stature wasn’t that small either, but thanks to her cute face and the thick coat she was wearing, she looked quite small.

Maru watched her, who was tiptoeing and hopping on the ground, for a while before taking out his phone. He made a call before waiting. She stopped her steps and picked up her phone.

“You called?”

“Huh? Yeah.”

For some reason, she crouched on the ground. Was she trying to hide?

“Why?”

“No reason. I just wanted to call you.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. But what are you doing right now?”

“Right now? I’m doing the play. The one I told you about before.”

“Oh, that.”

She moved her phone away from her mouth before smiling a little. After taking a deep breath, she spoke,

“Is it going well?”

“It is. What are you doing?”

“Me? Resting at home. I’m tired.”

“Oh, you’re resting at home? What about the shoot?”

“Right, I didn’t tell you about it, huh? It changed to Saturday. Yesterday was the shoot and today I’m resting.”

“That’s good.”

“What’s good?”

“Resting on a Sunday. You hate waking up early on red days more than anything, don’t you?”

“It’s not that bad you know?”

“I wouldn’t be so sure.”

Maru slowly walked up to her. The murmurs of the crowd hid Maru’s presence.

“How’s the performance, is it fun?”

“It is. Though, the audience likes it more than we do.”

“That’s a good performance. What a pity, I wanted to watch as well. It’s far away so it would be too late to go now. I should just rest at home.”

“You aren’t coming to see me?”

When he asked that question, she covered her mouth and smiled.

“Me? See you? Forget about it. I’m going to rest easy at home. I’m going to watch a movie on the sofa in the warmth of my home.”

“Wearing what?”

“Clothes? What kind of perverted things are you going to say now? I’m going to be fully covered, so don’t think about anything strange.”

Hearing that, Maru killed his footsteps and went right behind her. Then he lowered his phone and stood still.

“Hey, hey. Han Maru. Hey.”

She called out into her phone a couple of times before standing up abruptly. She watched the stage while tip-toeing before closing her phone with a sigh.

“You definitely are fully covered.”

Maru spoke into her ears in a small voice. She was startled and turned around. Maru could see her reddened cheeks and nose due to the cold. He sighed a little before covering her cheeks with his hands.

“Aren’t you cold?”

“Huh? Yeah. No, wait, how are you here?”

“You’re an idiot aren’t you? Think about the height of the stage. Then tell me whether I’ll be bothered about someone hopping at the back of the crowd or not.”

She said ‘aha’ in a small voice before making a sour expression.

“So you called me on purpose, huh?”

“I could clearly see that you were lying, so there’s no way I wouldn’t start teasing you for it.”

“You are such a…”

Her curled hands immediately jabbed into his waist. It was a rather accurate recreation of a right hook. She smiled in joy for some reason after hitting him.

“Wow, didn’t that look good just now?”

Maru immediately covered his aching waist and nodded his head. This was why he had originally held his wife back from trying to learn boxing after they married. He didn’t want to be cornered in a marital fight after all. Since she was a woman with good reflexes, her fists would be quite fierce if she learned.

“Hey.”

Maru grabbed her hand.

“What?”

“I’ll bring you to a VIP seat, so be obedient.”

She smiled with a bright smile.
