Chapter 169 - Familiar (2/2)
”You think I am stupid?” Lena pulled a cushioned chair and sat on it. ”It's not like asking a guy to dance, it's asking him to be my boyfriend. I should at least increase my chances of a ”yes” before I ask him out.”
”My Lena is all grown up.”
”And what about you? You definitely attracted the doctor?”
Gary sarcastically gasped and covered his chest. ”Lena! You know I am straight, how can I love him?”
”Stupid. I am not talking about Tye, obviously, it the female doctor.”
”Oh.. her?” Gary stopped joking around. ”She ain't my type.”
”You talk differently now.” Lena spoke. ”Do you know how to speak a different language too? I read in some articles that when people wake up, they can speak another language.”
”Nope... still the same old noob.” Gary smiled at Lena.
”It's okay. When I get my boyfriend, I'll rub it all over your face so you find yourself a girlfriend.”
”Yeah... IF you get one.”
”Are you doubting my skills?”
”Tell me, what's your plan?”
”Obviously, I will --”
--------- Scene cut off for no spoilers -------
Lena told Gary about what she planned to do. In the end, she got a knock on her head and a laugh from him. Gary snapped his fingers and did the shooting with the gun finger again.
”I got it! You can just take him to bed and show him your amazing bed skills.”
Lena threw a book at Gary. ”GARY! I got no bed skills.”
”What about the stuff Hazel sends to you? It's all up and down motion. Then, you just have to grab the ba---”
”AHHH!!! I can't hear you, I can't hear you.” Lena covered her ears and ran away to leave the room.
She slammed the door shut. She can't do that to Kris, it would traumatize him. He does not need forced love.
Lena started walking back to her room. She tilted her head and copied how Gary snapped his finger and does the gun motion and fling it. Gary never did that before... but somehow, she felt like it was familiar to her. Where has she seen it before? From Hazel? No... maybe Tye?
She got in her room and texted Kris. It was almost noon so he should have his cake done already.
Lena: Cake done?
Kris: Yes
He sent a picture of the cake, neatly in a box. Lena laughed at the decoration. Kris did a simple white frosting layer and then wrote Happy Birthday in purple on it. However, his handwriting for birthday was too large so ”day” was extra tiny compared to the rest.
Well, at least Madam Li will know that the cake was made by Kris. Kris also sent a nice selfie of himself. It took him a while to take one because he had never done one before. But he recalled how Lena did it once in the speed elevator and copied that.
Kris: How's my outfit? Mom will like?
Lena: *thumbs up*
Lena also sent a selfie of her frowning.
Lena: Noobie Gary bullied me :C
Kris: Go kick the man's d*ck
Lena: He has none
Lena: Tell me how it goes btw. ttyl
Lena tossed the phone on the bed. She was leaving in the afternoon around 4 and should get back home just when it turned dark.
