“Lin Xiao, w-what are you doing??”
Claire had already resolved herself to grab it and cut off all ties with this stinking man! But the sudden unexpected change made her panic!
And Claire became a sensitive little girl, just by touching Lin Xiao’s hand made her blush and her heart pace.
That wasn’t just anyone’s hand, but Lin Xiao’s hand, she wouldn’t feel anything if it were anyone else’s hand!
But that was the hand of the man she liked! She felt electrocuted just by touching him!
She had already given up, but this stinking man suddenly used his hands to electrocute away all her depression and sadness, and… and gave her a sliver of hope!
“Bastard! T-tell me, what are you trying to do? W-why did you suddenly touch my hand? I-I’m warning you, I’m not just a princess, but the representative King! Y-you can’t do as you please to me! Even though I like you, but you can’t do that! If you think you can do whatever you want just because I like you, then you would be wrong!”
“… hey, are you an idiot? What did I do? I just touched your hand.”
“You can’t do that! You’re not my boyfriend, how can you just casually touch my hand? Unless… unless you agree to be my boyfriend!”
“Tsk… you’re still trying that when you’re that embarrassed.”
“Stop laughing, bastard! So, what do you mean by it?”
“Uh, have you still not noticed? Please take a good look tomboy, I’m not touching you, you won’t let go.”
“Eh?”
Claire took a look and realized that she was the one holding onto Lin Xiao, so she quickly let go.
“Tsk… you sure are strong, my hand is all red, can you not be gentler?” Lin Xiao rubbed his hand while complaining.
“H-how can you blame me? I just wanted to take it back, who knew I would touch your hand… right! Strange, I was trying to grab the badge there, why did I grab your hand?”
Claire realized the problem and took another look and saw the badge on the table and wanted to reach out for it again.
But before she could do so, Lin Xiao reached over.
“Bastard, take your pig trotter away! … What, you want to take advantage of me again?”
“Hmph, you’re the pig! Also, I didn’t want to touch you, you can leave your pig trotter for yourself!”
“What did you say!? Okay since you don’t want to touch me, then take your hand back! If you stick it out again, I’m going to bite it!”
“Bite it? Then let me see you bite it! I’m not taking it back!”
“Hah? Bastard, stop playing cheap. what do you want?”
“That’s my line, right? Claire, what do you want?”
“Me? … I obviously want to take it back!”
“Why are you trying to snatch it?”
“Snatch? You put it there and wanted to return it, so I reached out to take it… is there a problem with that?”
Claire was dumbfounded by Lin Xiao’s foolish question! But when she realized something when she thought about his words.
Snatch? What did that mean?
Did Lin Xiao not want to return it, was she mistaken?
“So who said that I wanted to return it?”
When the misunderstanding was resolved, every single word Lin Xiao said made Claire happier.
“I never said I was returning it, so why were you trying to snatch it?”
“But… you clearly placed it in the center of the table, so didn’t you want me to take it?”
“Well… there is that meaning, but I haven’t finished speaking yet! Even if you wanted to take it, at least finish listening to what I have to say first!”
“Hm? Is that so?” Claire blinked and realized something, “Oh, so earlier…”
“Yes, if I didn’t react that quickly, you would have already snatched it away! Really… what are you in such a rush for?”
Lin Xiao complained and was still a bit worried, so he shifted it towards him so that Claire wouldn’t snatch it.
Yes, the reason Claire grabbed onto Lin Xiao earlier was that he was preventing her from snatching it away.
“That means… you don’t want me to take it back?”
“Cough… anyways, can you please listen to what I have to say first?”
“Lin Xiao, okay, no problem, go ahead! I’m listening!”
Lin Xiao cleared his throat and looked at the badge on the table while choosing his words.
“Claire, I’m really happy that you’re willing to help me, I’ve wanted to thank you in person, but I felt like it was better to not say it.”
“Why? … Embarrassed?”
“Peh! Do you think I’m a girl? Damn tomboy, stop teasing me! The reason I didn’t was because I feel like saying thanks wouldn’t make you happy, rather it would make you sad.”
“Hm, you’re right, I don’t need your thanks… if you seriously thanked me, I would look down on you!”
“Wow, as expected of the female Caesar, you even have the same personality.”
“Don’t bring up that name! … Although we are similar, it feels weird.”
“Okay, then I won’t bring it up anymore.” Lin Xiao smiled and continued speaking.
“But, you’ve helped me too much and this badge is too heavy for me, so no matter how much I try to convince myself, I feel undeserving of it.”
“If you didn’t know I liked you, would it still feel as heavy?”
“Even if I were your boyfriend, I would still find it heavy.”
“… I see, I understand.” After hearing Lin Xiao’s honest feelings, Claire felt much better, “So in the end, you’re still not planning on accepting it?”
“Yes, even though I’m lazy and want the easy way out, I still have my own principles… my help so far is undeserving of it, so I can’t accept it.”
“As expected of the man I fancy, you didn’t disappoint me… you have your principles, very good, I won’t try to challenge them.”
“Thank you.”
“So, I’ll take it.”
Claire didn’t waste any more time and reached out to grab it but was stopped by Lin Xiao again!
“I haven’t finished it! Why did you stick out your trotters again!?”
“Weren’t you already clear with it? You just don’t want it.”
“It was clear, but… I still have something else to say!”
“Something else?”
“Yeah, normally I would never accept it, unless…”
“Unless?”
“Lin Xiao, w-what are you doing??”
Claire had already resolved herself to grab it and cut off all ties with this stinking man! But the sudden unexpected change made her panic!
