Chapter 266: Boys Should Protect Themselves Too
“After all, we’re friends. I can’t just stand by and watch you get sidelined.”
Seeing Leon’s puzzled expression, Maru quickly added.
“All right then, I’ll thank you for your concern in advance.” Leon smiled as he thanked Maru.
He was only being polite. Leon didn’t really think he’d end up ignored.
At the very least, there was always Abigail to fall back on. They were close, and Abigail had a playful, novelty-seeking personality. When the time came, if he showed off some flashy hand-flower moves, she might even beg him to teach her.
Still, since Maru had gone out of her way to offer, Leon wasn’t about to refuse. As long as it wasn’t a slow, intimate waltz with any hugging involved, he could treat it as just hanging out at a dance party with a friend.
Thanks to the topic of the Flower Dance Festival, the two ended up chatting happily. Maru shared quite a few funny past stories, like how last year Vincent had loudly declared at the dance that he would one day marry Jas.
Or how Abigail had rejected Alex’s invitation, then grabbed a chocolate milkshake off the table and smashed it right in his face.
Leon found the gossip surprisingly entertaining, even making him eat with more enthusiasm. Sometimes, juicy stories were the best side dish.
