"Last al?" Vanessa was alard and went into battle mode almost instantaneously.
"What the heck are you doing?"
anwhile, Shi Tian was looking at her in confusion, wondering what had caused her temper to flare up again.
"Weren't you trying to harm ?" Vanessa narrowed her eyes and asked solemnly.
"..."
At this mont, Shi Tian finally realized one thing. She was definitely a flower-vase woman that had never interacted with anyone before.
Just how ignorant and greenhorn could she be?
"Seriously, how did you even survive for so long, Vanessa?" Shi Tian asked curiously.
"We had made an oath already, so did you really think I would or could have hard you in any form? I'm saying this is your last al because after this al, you will disappear from my life and we'll pretend to never know each other." He calmly explained, knocking so logical sense into her faulty brain.
And if it wasn't for the effectiveness of the Restorative Potion, then Shi Tian would have thought it was yet another faulty product of the previous tenant which resulted in Vanessa's brain to be functioning worse than a little kid.
Sure enough, Vanessa's face turned beet red when she realized she had misunderstood his words.
'What the heck? This bastard must definitely be trolling . Who the hell would say eat your last al to soone ever??!' Vanessa cursed inwardly.
To tell soone to eat their last al was equivalent to saying that after this al, they shall die. It was a common quote for prisoners that would be executed soon to enjoy the last al of their life.
Hence, she thought Shi Tian was attempting to harm, forgetting about the fact that they had made an oath last night.
"Go wash your hands already. Why are you still standing like a dork?" Shi Tian commanded, walking to the kitchen area by himself and washing his hands.
"Couldn't you have expressed yourself and words better?" Vanessa muttered. Nevertheless, she still followed his command and went to the kitchen area to wash her hands as well.
Soti later, the two of them began enjoying their al and Vanessa was in a blissful mood, being able to eat her favorite at dish.
"Haa~ Minasarus at is just different. The at tenderization and flavor are just top-notch." She exclaid in joy.
She was like a little girl that had just gotten her favorite toy, completely void of her previous fiery hot temper.
Shi Tian sighed softly, grabbed a few tissues, and gave them to her. "It might be your favorite food, but you don't need to eat like a ss. There's sauce in the corner of your mouth."
Maybe it was because she was enjoying her food, Vanessa didn't seem to mind his words and smiled lightly.
"Thanks," She grabbed the tissue and wiped the sauce off, surprising him.
Ever since they had t, she was constantly throwing a fit, yet this ti, she was surprisingly polite and sweet.
Could food be the cure for this woman's temper?
That was the mindset Shi Tian had, but decided to keep it to himself, lest, this woman's temper might flare up again.
Soti later, the food on the diner table was quickly finished, despite the huge portions there were. It goes to show just how big their appetite was considering the hectic night they had been through yesterday.
As Shi Tian stood up and got ready to clean up the food, Vanessa suddenly grabbed his wrist.
"Nathan…" She said in a muffled tone, her head lowered completely, almost to the point that it was touching the diner table.
Shi Tian glanced at her hand that was holding his wrist in confusion. "What is it? Don't tell you still want to eat more food?"
He was clearly teasing her by indirectly calling her fat, but to his dismay, she didn't overreact and still kept her head down, remaining silent.
"Okay, what is it?" Annoyed, Shi Tian placed the take-out boxes down and asked calmly.
A few seconds later, Vanessa finally mustered up the courage to lift her head up and stared at Shi Tian.
"C-Can I stay here and not leave?" She asked timidly. Clearly, she knew it was shaless of her to even request such a thing, but what could she do?
She was technically alone in Gearits City at the mont, and this was the safest place currently for her thanks to the Crimson Mage's reputation and high-security placent.
Back when Shi Tian was still carrying her in his arms, she had sensed the security of this place to be even better than the inner zone of Gearits City.
And this was proven greatly when she had a great sleep last night without any interference or attack from the White Syndicate. Given that she had already taken a huge loss against their ambush, she needed to secure a safe place and wait for reinforcent from her family to arrive.
Patiently waiting for his response, she didn't realize how anxious and tense she had beco.
Normally, whenever she requested soone for sothing, they would always wag their tail and readily agree with her without bothering to know the content.
However, Shi Tian was like a different species, not even giving a damn about her appearance whatsoever. And she also knew if she dared to speak up about her identity, then it would only make matters worse.
Through her observation of him, he was not the type to cower in fear because of so reputation or family influence. He was the type to accept the soft approach rather than the hard approach.
Although most usually hate these types of people, Vanessa was rather fond of it because one thing was for certain. They aren't hypocrites and would always honor their promise.
"Why do you want to stay here? Don't you know that people might misunderstand us if they see a woman and man living together?" Shi Tian said in a roundabout way, hoping that she would reconsider her thought.
"As if I give a damn about what others review or think about !" Vanessa snorted and placed down a mid-tier Source Crystal on the diner table.
"Here's the paynt for my temporary stay here."
"Hah, you really thought too little of ." Shi Tian crossed his arms and sneered coldly.
Though the very next second, he snatched the mid-tier Source Crystal and smiled, "Enjoy your stay!"
