Chapter 129: Vow of Eternal Love
Talking was not Yang Ru’s strong point, and in his quest to get to know Kang Lin, grunting just wouldn’t be enough. So, he resolved to talk to her.
There was one big problem, though. He had no idea what to say. Literally. Not a thing came to mind.
They walked for a while, silently, through an area outside the Wood. Master had swept it for beasts earlier, so they didn’t expect to encounter anything. Yang Ru almost wished they would. It would have given him something to talk to her about.
Occasionally, she would look at him expectantly, and he’d open his mouth. Nothing would come out, though.
Finally, he could take it no more. “I don’t know what to say.”
Kang Lin grunted.
He stared at her for a moment before the absolute absurdity of her response hit him, and unable to resist, he started laughing. And laughing. She joined in, and they both lost control. Eventually, their hysterical response drained some of the tension and awkwardness that had previously hung between them.
With the pressure off, he felt a lot less stifled. He found his voice. “Thanks for that.”
“No problem.”
They grinned at each other for a moment before her face grew serious.
“I have to confess,” she said. “I’m having trouble figuring out what is going on in your head.”
He shrugged.
