The sun had already descended, and the market near the Holy Orchid Institute had reached its peak. Vendors were haggling to gain even the slightest bit of margin. Looking at them, Nik couldn't help but scoff.

Amateurs!

The correct method of selling stuff is to demean the customers and make them desperate for your goods. How else can you loot your customers?

Nik tilted his head and matched Lanrou's pink pupils. Her face still portrayed a slightly hesitant expression while her eyes tainted with indignance.

”Did you really wanted me to tag along?”

Lanrou questioned while nudging her body against Nik's.

”Of course,” Nik wrapped his arm around Lanrou's supple waist and pulled her closer. Even when she hadn't taken a bath after her training, she still exuded a faint fragrance that seemed to be hereditary. Her father did not look like the kind of existence to expel fragrance out of his pores, so, ”Say, Lanrou, you never said anything about your mother?”

Lanrou let out a ponderous 'hum' and leaned her head against Nik's arm. She felt slightly uncomfortable with tight clothes around her body while she was somewhat sweaty after the training, but Nik's natural scent made it easier for her to calm down, ”My mother passed away in my early years. I still remember her, of course.”

In the busy market, Lanrou's voice was barely audible, but Nik's enhanced senses made it easier for him to hear whatever she was saying.

”Long pink hair and deep brown eyes. That is the most striking feature of my mother. Of course, she slapped me on multiple occasions whenever I did something wrong. That is why I never grew to be a bad girl,” Nik did not know if she was pointing out irony or genuinely believed herself to be sincere, ”She even slapped dad many times. But she did it behind the doors as dad screamed weirdly. Maybe she was saving his face.”

'And smacking that deviant's ass!'

Nik added internally. Once again, unable to believe that Lanrou did not know what her parents were up to.

Lanrou suddenly stopped and frowned, ”Now that I say it out loud...”

She tilted her head up to look at Nik's suggestive smile, and her eyes widened. Steam rose from the top of her head as she hugged Nik's arm tightly and buried her head into Nik's accomodating bicep.

”Shut up, don't say anything!”

She hissed softly as Nik smiled. The duo continued in each other's embrace until the Huyan Estate was within their vision. Her hold around Nik grew tighter as they grew close to the estate before Nik stopped and waited for Lanrou to look up.

”Why did you stop here?”

Lanrou asked with her eyelids fluttering, and her heartbeats growing louder and intense. Lanrou, who prided in the size of her bosom, failed to overlap Nik's forearm as the warmth in between her breasts made Nik feel comfortable during the entire journey.

”Do you want to kiss me?”

Nik inquired gently. He had already freed Lanrou's waist so that she could face his side while letting the back of his hand caress her cheeks tenderly. He had already taken her lips without her intentions far too many times, and even if all things turned out well, he wanted to hear the words from Lanrou, also.

Her throat went dry.
