Chapter 118: CH 118

“Is it that time already?”

How long did I sleep? I guess I must have slept longer than I thought when I closed my eyes slightly. I thought I was tired these days, but I slept very soundly. I haven’t read all the books yet. Hastily, I picked up the messy book. Seeing this, Kir’s eyebrows narrowed slightly.

“What are you doing?”

“To clean up.”

Kir’s eyes seemed to ask like someone who didn’t know that. Pretending not to see him, I took the book back to its place.

“Leave it alone.”

I knew the maids will clean it up if I leave it that way. I know, but I didn’t want to leave my mess, just that. The table was very messy because I took out several books to refer to while watching. Kir’s hand approached and snatched the book from my hand.

“What are you doing?”

‘What are you doing’ seemed to be the most common question whenever I was with Kir. Seeing his eyes wide open, Kir absentmindedly put the book on the table.

“You don’t have to clean it up.”

“It’s not difficult, so I’m doing it.”

If the etiquette teacher sees it, I would be scolded, but to express my displeasure, I put both my hands on my waist and tilted my head. Kir snorted.

“If we do the work ourselves, we don’t have to hire people. Your actions are taking away other people’s jobs.”

There were a lot of things I wanted to refute to Kir’s words, saying that I wouldn’t word it like that, but I held back. No matter how logical it is, Kir’s coercion can really put people out of work.

These days, he doesn’t go that far, but he was an arrogant guy who could actually do it. It’s not a joke with a child who seems to have matured but couldn’t overcome his temper.

“Fine, I won’t clean it up.”

Are you threatening me with something like that? I swallowed the words inside. Still, Kir’s mood loosened up again, showing he liked my answer. I’ve known him for years, but he was sensitive on some really weird points which were really difficult to figure out.

In the end, I left Kir’s book alone and packed the things I brought with me.

“What is this?”

“Huh?”

After answering insincerely, I put the notebook and pen that had been scattered around in the bag and put it on my shoulder. The moment I turned around, my eyes met Kir, who was glaring at me with a cool gaze.

Oh why? What are you dissatisfied with?

“What are you doing now?”

If the question I ask Kir the most is ‘what are you doing?’ the question Kir asks me the most is ‘what are you doing now?’.

“Going home.”

Hearing my refreshing reply, Kir glared at me for a moment before letting out a low sigh. Frustrated, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his hair, which covered his straight forehead, swayed slightly, showing a strange sense of maturity. Was it a little strange? At that age, he’s already that good-looking. He’s so exceptional that you can eat off his face and live. Well, since he has that kind of temperament, his face should at least look good.

After admiring Kir’s appearance for a while, I was awakened by his cool gaze. Ahh, this was not the right time.

“I’ll go.”

After saying goodbye and leaving the study, Kir came out after me. Kir was walking in line with my footsteps.

“Aren’t you going to eat dinner?”

He was not escorting me. He thought I would eat together with him. But I never said I was going out for dinner, did I?

“Yes. I’m not eating.”

“Why? It’s meal time too, so eat before you go.”

Did you want to eat with me that much? I looked up at Kir. Seeing Kir just staring down, I got pissed off and hit his arm with my elbow.

Even though I drank so much milk, I grew up less than average, but Kir grew up on his own. At first, there was a little difference in height, but now he was more than half a head taller than me. If he keeps going like this, he will soon grow more than one head. Maybe that’s why every time Kir looked down at me, I suddenly got grumpy.

“I’m not going to eat.”

“Why?”

He was persistent today. Well, Kir did like to feed me. Glancing at him, he quickened his steps. Perhaps he was late.

“Aren, eat and then go.”

Kir’s persistence never really changes. If I say I won’t eat, then he’ll know there’s a reason.

“Because I can’t.”

“Why?”
