Chapter 112: Cover for Me
Feeling Aiden’s grasp tightening around his waist, Kylian pushed him away with his elbow from behind, seeming a little impatient to break free from him, when he murmured, "Thank you for protecting me. I am okay now, so, please let go."
"O-Oh, s-sorry!" As if Aiden was too focused on keeping him close, he didn’t realize his hold was making Kylian fidgety to unleash himself.
The moment he let him go, Kylian stood up and hurriedly checked his phone first, which he had firmly protected in the grasp of his hands, despite facing such a collision with that bookshelf. His ocean eyes were glimmering with hope as if he was keenly expecting Zenith’s reply to his previous text.
But the glimmer in his eyes immediately faded into dim when he saw it was a spam message, making him turn gloomy again to realize he almost put himself in danger from getting overexcited.
But his efforts all went in vain.
However, Aiden was a keen observant of Kylian’s facial expression which immediately turned from being a cheerful puppy to a sad puppy kicked out in the rain.
Watching his eagerness to check his phone immediately after he stood up, Aiden couldn’t suppress his curiosity towards Kylian when he asked, "Were you distracted by your phone which almost got you into an accident today? Do you realize if I hadn’t been around, you could have cracked your head open from the hit?"
Though Kylian was still gloomy, but his loud grumble made him understand that Aiden had indeed saved him from a major accident.
Before he was about to apologize to Aiden, the library coordinator almost rushed towards them after hearing the loud noise and shrieked from shock to watch all the books and that giant bookshelf were messed up around them.
