Chapter 399

Sunny was relieved to see that she did not take it to heart. Phew, that’s great! I’m glad you’re not angry

with me. At least things won’t be so awkward between us that way!”

Corinne felt that the conversation was a pointless one, so she ignored him completely.

Sunny scratched the back of his head shyly and said, “I’ll be honest, Corinne. I… I’ve grown to like you

now.”

Corinne paused while basting her chicken wings and then looked up at Sunny as if she just heard a

joke. He was already blushing, but she was as calm as ever as she said, “Oh, thanks for liking me, I

guess?”

Her indifference made Sunny frown unhappily. “Hey! What was that response?”

“How else am I supposed to respond?”

Corinne picked up the fan and fanned the charcoal fire to increase the heat. A little bit of char would go

a long way to adding that extra bit of flavor!

Sunny was so angry that his cheeks were trembling. “What is wrong with you? I’m confessing my love

to you right now!”

Corinne did not take him seriously at all. “Aren’t you doing that to help your sister deal with her love

rival? Did you expect me to take it seriously?”

Sunny folded his arms arrogantly, and said honestly, “Well, I admit that it’s part of the reason, but the

main reason isn’t because of my sister! My feelings for you have been a bit

different recently. I can’t explain what kind of feeling it is, but it’s special, and I don’t seem to hate you

as much as before when I see you!”

Corinne chuckled.

‘Do high school students like them think that the equivalent of “I don’t hate you” is “I like you”? Tsk, tsk,

tsk. Sunny, how many people are you going to like every single day? Are you going to like each person

that you meet just because you don’t hate them?’

“Sunny,” a warm voice suddenly called out to him from behind.

He turned around and saw that his sister Anya had exited the villa, and he immediately began to worry

about her. “Anya! Why’d you come out wearing so few clothes?”

As he said that, he immediately took off his coat and walked over to put it on Anya’s body.

Anya smiled appreciatively and said, “I’m fine. I’m not feeling cold right now.”

Sunny stubbornly pressed the jacket onto Anya’s shoulders. and was determined not to let her take off

the jacket and return it to him. “You should still wear more clothes even if you’re not cold. We can’t

have you catching a cold!”

Anya could not do anything about it and so readily accepted her brother’s jacket. She then looked at

Corinne who was busy barbecuing behind the grill and made small talk with her. Why didn’t you go in

with Jeremy after you both arrived?”

Corinne continued to grill her wings. She did not even glance at Anya as she answered curtly, “I have

anxiety, and I don’t

like places where there are too many people.”

Anya saw that Corinne seemed too busy with the chicken wings to talk to her, so she patted Sunny’s

arm and said, “How could you just stand there and watch her do all the grilling without even bothering

to help her? Boys must learn to behave like gentlemen, so how long are you going to stand there

without helping her? Girls shouldn’t be exposed to all these oily, smoky fumes!”

Sunny was very obedient to everything his sister said, so he rolled up his sleeves and walked over.

“Leave it to me, Corinne. You can step aside with my sister and stay away from all this smoke!”

Corinne was not very happy because she was worried that her wings might be ruined. “Do you even

know how to grill these?

she asked, doubting him.

When Sunny’s kind gesture was met with her skeptical

expression, he emphasized, “I’m a pro! My classmates and I go barbecuing pretty often during the

holidays, and everyone says that my grilled wings are the best!!”

Corinne finally backed away from her position and said, that so? Guess I’ll have the honor of trying

your awesome barbecued wings today.”

“Is

Sunny was prepared to show his skills and make Corinne look at him with admiration.

At that moment, Anya suddenly came over and took Corinne’s arm affectionately. “You can leave it to

Sunny. Let’s go to the small gazebo over there and have a chat. It’s about time you get some rest too!”
