Chapter 129 - Monster Eclipse
The moment Davi stood and began to walk, she started swaying – left and right. Sei immediately moved to support her but the moment he held her hand, the girl shoved his hand away, causing Sei"s eyes to widen with disbelief.
That moment, Davi didn"t even throw a glance at him.
"Don"t bother me! I need to go and teach my husband a lesson, you get it?!" she said with a firm authoritative tone. Her voice was clear and serious as though she"s not drunk at all, however, when she started walking, she was obviously struggling to balance herself.
Sei who froze for a moment due to the unexpected treatment he received from his wife moved towards her again because instead of walking towards the entrance, the girl started walking towards the road ahead.
But this time, Sei didn"t touch her. He just blocked her way as he talked.
"I"m here." He said, but the serious girl just now suddenly giggled, and she suddenly ran towards the open road as if she didn"t hear him. She stopped in the middle of the road and she spread her arms out as she looked at the moon.
"Ohh… the moon is beautiful tonight!" she said with a bright smile on her face while Sei just followed her quickly, afraid that she might fall any second. By the time he stood next to her, he couldn"t help but stare at her in awe. Her eyes were reflecting the light of the moon, her smile was sweeter than ever and when she tilted her head adorably, Sei just felt as though, she"s taking his breath away.
"Mn… it"s pretty, but to me you"re far more beautiful."
Those words just came out of Sei"s mouth naturally that even he who said it, took a while to process before his face began to turn red.
Davi on the other hand finally turned her head towards him and looked at his face the moment she heard his words. She blinked before she leaned towards him with scrutinizing eyes as though she"s trying to verify if it"s really him.
She tiptoed before she touched his lower face and then his black mask with both hands.
"It…it"s really you." She said without letting go of his face.
"Mn… it"s me..." Sei uttered but he couldn"t finish his statement. It was because in that moment Davi suddenly grabbed his hand and pulled him as she ran.
"Sei! Let"s run. Let"s run away! Run with me." She said as she chuckled like a lively wild and free angel. She gripped his hand in a way that seemed like she never planned to let go of him no matter what happens.
Until Sei just found himself, quietly running with her, following her without a word wherever she lead him as he just looked at her with nothing but wonder and amazement.
But the next moment, the girl suddenly stopped without warning. She turned towards Sei and her smile faded.
"Water… I"m thirsty…" she said causing the man to blank out for a while, and the next second a gorgeous smile suddenly appeared in his face.
Even though Davi was drunk, the appearance of Sei"s smile was a rare once-in-a-lifetime monster eclipse that didn"t escape her notice. Causing her mouth to hang open once again.
"Let"s go back, so you can get a drink." He then said as his smile faded. However, before he could move his feet to go back, Davi caught his face again.
"Smile again. Smile, smile, smile…" she suddenly pleaded nonstop, surprising the man again.
"I won"t go with you if you won"t smile! I won"t go with you. I"ll stay here if you won"t smile. Smile." She continued, pleading like a child. Causing Sei to feel both bewilderment and defeat because of the girl"s sudden plea.
And when he felt the cold breeze brewing, causing his wife"s hair to dance like a black silk under the moonlight, he started worrying that she might catch a cold if they stay outside. Causing Sei to only raise his white flag. Although truth be told, whether he realize it or not, he just actually has zero tolerance when his wife pleaded him like that.
Thus, the next second, for the first time… Sei forced a smile.
And the result was… well, close to disaster, but somewhat adorable.
"Pfft! Hahahaha! You look like a grinning cat." Davi instantly laughed so hard the moment she saw his brief forced smile and yet the man felt no annoyance towards her even though he thought that what he just did was something disgraceful. That moment, Sei just watched his wife"s silly laughing face until she stopped before he talked again.
"I already granted your wish, let"s go back." He then calmly said, and the girl finally followed him obediently.
