Chapter 464 - An Opportunity (1/2)
The next morning, Kyle, Xing Han and Sam were at Master Shifu's house for breakfast.
”Father, I have a request,” Kyle said respectfully during the meal.
”What is it? You know you can ask me anything,” Master Shifu replied kindly.
”Could Xing Han stay here if he's continuing at Sakura Academy?” Kyle asked, ”He can take my room.”
”Of course he can,” Master Shifu said, ”If he is agreeable, that is. Our home is your home, Xing Han. You know that.”
Xing Han, who was in the midst of putting in a mouthful of food, stopped and stared at Kyle.
What was this? Why the sudden question? Why didn't Kyle ask him first? What is going on in that BFF's mind of his? Stay here?
Xing Han put the fork down slowly, his eyes darting left and right while his mind processed this sudden information.
For some reason, his gaze landed on Nitocirs a tad longer and he was a bit miffed at how unaffected that guy seemed to be at the possibility of him staying here. He was ignoring everything and just eating his food like this was a normal thing.
Kyle noticed Xing Han's hesitation, and the way he looked at Nitocris a bit nervously before being upset. Seriously, his BFF feelings could be seen on his face so clearly.
Kyle looked at Nitocris and could tell how nervous his big brother was. Perhaps, waiting for Xing Han's answer?
These two really needed a lot of work, it seems.
”It would make me feel better, Xing Han, if you stayed,” Kyle said, ”After all, over here, you have Father to keep an eye on you and Mother to feed you.”
Xing Han's eyes brightened at that.
”And Big Bro Nic can help as well,” Kyle helpfully said, ”He has his own organisation, after all. You can see what it's like at his place and get some ideas on the different types before you graduate.”
”You're still being the Sage Class Leader, even now?” Xing Han muttered, referring to the file Kyle had done to recommend a few steps in honing and expanding Xing Han's business acumen.
”No, I'm being your best friend,” Kyle said, ”You didn't think I'd just up and leave you high-and-dry now, did you?”
Xing Han's bottom lip quivered and he flung his hands up in the air, before glomping on Kyle from the side.
”Waaaahh!!” Xing Han wailed while hugging Kyle tightly, ”You're still the one who knows me best! Who loves me the most!!”
A loud clang sounded, breaking the wailing that was in the air. Everyone's head whipped to Nitocris, who nonchalantly picked up his fork that had fallen onto his plate, ”Sorry. Hand slipped.”
Then, Nitocris looked at Xing Han, ”I think your BFF is turning blue.”
Xing Han didn't let go of Kyle, and instead, rubbed his cheek onto Kyle's cheek.
”No, he isn't,” Xing Han protested, ”I gotta get my dose of Kyle before he leaves. I won't be able to hug or glomp him for a long time.”
Xing Han pouted and looked at Kyle, ”How long will you be gone? You'll come back and visit often, right?”
Kyle couldn't look at Xing Han in the face and Xing Han grabbed Kyle's cheeks to force him to look at him.
