Chapter 397 - The Mystery Intensifies (2/2)
From this, it was deduced that Touki was surely an offspring of the Protoss.
But for various reasons, he was living his life in poverty.
Since Touki carried the blood of the Protoss, why didn’t he return to his ancestry and go lean on his Protoss relatives, or seek help from the government? He could also go to some speculative businessmen to regain the status to which he was entitled as a Protoss descendant, at the very least… shouldn’t these things be extremely easy to accomplish?
But…
The more the girls thought about it, the more confused they became; and the more they analyzed it, the messier it got.
Hence, there was no way for them to give Touki an accurate label, as they dared not rashly jump to conclusions.
…
Back at school, Li Dong sat down in his seat.
After class.
He was in a dozing state when he heard two voices in his ears.
“Touki…”
“Touki.”
Li Dong opened his eyes and saw two girls within his range of vision: Denen Satoshi, whom he had met the day before, and Nishihara Kaori, who had a blue single ponytail that looked vibrant and cheerful.
“Uhm, Satoshi, Kaori, do you girls… need something from me?”
“Touki, it’s noon now—it’s time for lunch. Did you bring your bento box?” Nishihara Kaori asked with a smile.
“Nope.” Li Dong shook his head. “I have no time to prepare a bento. I usually just grab some food from the cafeteria.”
“Why don’t you eat with us, Touki? I brought an extra bento today… take this as an apology for yesterday’s abruptness.” Denen Satoshi said, grabbing two bento boxes out of her bag and blushing.
Li Dong glanced at the pink lunchbox she was holding, and said after some thought, “Okay, then. Thank you very much.”
“Thanks, Touki.”
Denen Satoshi handed over a bento box with an apologetic heart. Now, all the girls in the class knew about the information she had asked him for yesterday. In a few days’ time, it would spread across the whole school. She didn’t know if whether Touki would get angry at her.
“Can I join you for lunch, Touki? I want to know more about you,” Nishihara Kaori asked.
“Sure.”
Li Dong gave a vibrant smile.
A few fierce eyes glared at him.
…
After school.
In some bushes outside the school compound.
“That bastard!”
“That phony just came to our class for a few days, and he got to taste a bento made by our adorable Satoshi and sit with my goddess Nishihara! That son of a b*tch! He cannot be forgiven!”
“That little shithead will pass by here later. Let’s gang up on him and let him have a taste of our fists.”
“Outsiders should stay away from our baes!”
The three boys clamored and slipped masks onto their heads, waiting for the b*stard to arrive.
