âWhatâs up? Why are you so mysterious?â Ariana asked curiously.
âCome closer and youâll see for yourself,â Theodore said gently with a smile.
He looked even more gorgeous now.
Theodoreâs smile enchanted Ariana and made her lose all desire to resist.
She leaned forward and asked, âWhat is it?â
Theodore smiled but didnât say anything.
âCome on, what is it?â
Arianaâs curiosity was fully aroused.
She pulled Theodoreâs fist to see what he was hiding there.
âAlright, alright.
Let me show you.
â Theodore didnât want to prolong the suspense any longer.
He reached out and opened his fist.
A huge cricket flew out and leapt directly in front of Ariana.
Ariana was so scared that she almost dropped the plate in her hand.
Alina also got scared.
She rushed to Ariana and held her thighs tightly to protect herself.
Ariana finally understood why Alina had rushed to her earlier after going into the forest with Theodore for just a few minutes.
Theodore probably did the same to the poor girl.
Theodore thought it was so funny and he laughed.
Ariana stared at him and scolded him.
âYou are so childish!â
Theodore was stunned by Arianaâs reproach and coughed awkwardly.
He turned his face away to hide his embarrassment.
He was so embarrassed that his ears were red.

Ariana was so overjoyed seeing him like this that she forgot the whole cricket thing.
She leaned over to him with a sly smile and asked, âHey, so Mr.
Anderson can also be shy?â ©
Theodore flicked her forehead and pretended to be annoyed.
âGet out of my way.
Iâll clean up this mess!â
However, Ariana moved closer to him and said stubbornly, âI wonât!â
Seeing her so stubborn, Theodore chuckled and said nothing.
He just lowered his head and continued to pack up the things.

Seeing that he didnât say anything, Ariana became worried and she began to wonder whether Theodore was really angry.
Then, suddenly, he said in a tone full of nostalgia and sadness, âLast time I went camping, I was eight years old and I was with my mother.

Ariana felt her heart sink and her face softened.
She reached out and gently stroke Theodoreâs hair.

The touch of Theodoreâs hair was a stark contrast to his cold and hard personality as his hair was particularly soft.
