Kent was called back into reality by her voice, he shook his head with a fake calm grin, “Just thinking about a new project, let’s go.”
“Oh.”
Blanche dared not question his thinking on the job and nodded.
Having asked Melissa beforehand, it didn’t take long for the two of them to find their way to the group, just in time for a temple fair that was being held nearby. A few daring ones went straight to the surf during the day, while Blanche and Melissa wandered around and bought some handicrafts.
It was late in the evening when we gathered early to go to the temple fair together, but there were more people than we expected.
Blanche couldn’t find anyone, so she found a quiet place to rest for a while, as she had been walking all day.
A cold object pressed against her cheek and she looked up in surprise to see Kent standing in front of her somehow.
“Sir Lewis?”
Kent sighed helplessly, “How could you be so stupid as to wander off like that?”
Blanche was disgruntled, “Didn’t you get separated too?”
“Idiot! I came here specifically to find you!” The man said in a bad mood.
Blanche looked over at him with a heartbeat.
Kent rolled his eyes and took a sip of his carbonated drink straight away, “You’re so stupid and you don’t always take yourself seriously, as your boss, what if something happens to you if I don’t keep an eye on you?”
He twisted the meaning of what was clearly a concern.
Blanche curled her lips into a smile, but didn’t take it too seriously.
The man’s eyes glanced at him, slightly displeased, “Why do you always look like that? Since you’re here to have fun, you should act happy.”
He said, a little exasperated, dragging her up, “I heard there’s a fireworks display later, we need to buy more food and find a suitable spot to wait before then!”
“Wait ……”
Before Blanche knew it her whole body was being dragged into the crowd again.
The man’s hand was broad, as if it carried a unique magic that reassured her.
Yet, she was also a little afraid ……
Blanche subconsciously tried to pull her hand back, but Kent immediately tightened his grip, not forgetting to turn his head and reprimand, “There are so many people, do you want to wander off and let me find you again without pulling you?”
Having said that, Blanche had no choice but to let him hold her.
There were a lot of people like them around, but the men and women had happy smiles on their faces, and she and Kent, on the other hand, looked a bit out of place.
Kent, who didn’t know whether it was on the spur of the moment or not, could barely hold the food that he bought, and he managed to push his way through the crowd, still leading her in the direction of the smaller crowd.
Blanche followed him all the way and finally couldn’t help but ask, “Kent, where are we going anyway?”
“I just asked, there’s a place at the top of the hill that’s perfect for watching the fireworks.” He didn’t look back, his steps steady.
Blanche stared at the broad back for a second and couldn’t help the curve of her lips as she watched his childish side increase, almost to the back of her ear ……
Maybe that’s not so bad, she thought.
Even if we can’t be together, then let’s pretend we are together today, and pretend …… they are dating ……
The thought was only a fleeting one, and when Blanche reacted again, she had been pulled by Kent to sit down on a small ramp.
He had bought a blanket when he had been shopping earlier, and now it was just the right place to sit down without getting wet from the dew.
The things Kent had bought were spread out on the blanket almost immediately afterwards, and he didn’t eat them, he just handed them to her, which Blanche thankfully took.
The fireworks were already going off in the distance, one exploding in front of them for a moment ……
The light from the fireworks hit the side of the man’s face making it hard to look away.
“Kent ……”
She looked at him abruptly, with an impulse.
The latter looked over in the same way, “What’s wrong? Look like you have something to say.”
“I ……”
She squeezed the octopus dumpling in her hand, the tiny box almost squeezing out of shape, as did her rambling mood at the moment.
“Wow!”
Blanche froze at the sound of a familiar voice, and when she looked at it, a figure immediately pounced on her, “Blanche, you’re so ungrateful, finding such a nice place for yourself and buying so much good food!”
Blanche had a headache on her face, “You guys are the ones who said each of you should play your own game ……”
“Oh, right oh.” Melissa looked apologetic, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know that ……”
She hugged her and apologized immediately.
“How did you guys find this place?”
Kent’s sudden statement startled Melissa and a few of her co-workers who were following her, who hadn’t expected Blanche to be with Kent!
Blanche forced a smile and said, “I ran into him by chance, but I was afraid I’d get separated again, so I just came here.”
The colleague behind her laughed and joked, “So our Mr. Lewis has taken pity on his wife, look at this treatment, it’s not the same as us men.”
Melissa shot a glance at the men behind her, “How can you talk like that, are you treated badly? You have everything you need, why didn’t you say that when you said you weren’t taking Blanche.”
Melissa’s words directly disliked the line of people who didn’t dare to say anything else.
“It’s okay.” Blanche shook her head, “I actually think it’s fine, it’s quiet and it’s not noisy.”
If they had been with them, they would probably still be down here right now.
“Heh heh.”
Melissa laughed and turned to look apologetically at Kent, “Sir Lewis, I don’t suppose you’d mind if I sat here too?”
“Since you’re out for a good time, feel free, no need to be formal.”
“I knew Mr Lewis wouldn’t mind!”
Seeing Melissa sit down, the few people behind her followed suit and sat carefully to the side.
A little hiccup was quickly put behind them, and almost everyone’s looks fell immediately afterwards into the roaring fireworks ……
Everyone was high as hell and with Melissa and the others having bought some wine, Blanche half-heartedly drank some.
She’s not a bad drinker, but Kent got a lot of it.
Even though they were drinking beer from a can, they were still a bit dizzy from all the drinking.
A few of the men had already slipped away halfway through, leaving the three women to look at each other, not knowing what to do.
Blanche sighed and said, “I’ll do it, you guys go back first.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, that weak body actually set Kent up straight!
