Chapter 270 - 263. Coffee Machine and Candy Jar
"I haven’t seen you for a while and then you suddenly move out?" Old man Dan greeted Zein with a grumble when the guide came to the dorm after lunch.
"What--I’ve told you about it last week, though?" Zein shrugged.
"You said it’s for later," the old man argued before repeating fiercely. "Later."
Zein chuckled and leaned onto the counter, watching the moving agents carrying the last of the potted plants and the gardening tools along with the shelf Zein used to put them in. He had no idea where they would go in Bassena’s apartment, but he trusted the esper’s nanny to arrange it. The place was big enough anyway.
"It’s ’later’ enough," Zein muttered to the old man, who grunted in response.
"This must be that rascal’s idea," the old man continued his grumble. Just by the fact that it was Bassena who managed the move, he knew Zein wasn’t just moving out of the dorm, but also moving in with the esper.
Zein chuckled at that, and told the old man honestly. "It’s actually my idea," he said, and Old Man Dan widened his eyes in disbelief, looking at Zein as if the guide was a stranger.
"You?"
"It’s weird, isn’t it?" Zein smirked, drumming on the front desk counter. "But it feels like a natural thing to do."
The old man scoffed again, but he said nothing more after knowing it was Zein who wanted to move in together with Bassena. He got it; once you lose someone, you want to keep being around the one that was still there. It was still hard for him to let go of his daughter when she got married and moved to Neyta.
"I’ll keep your room so you can go back if you don’t like living with that brat anymore," the old man mumbled, and Zein couldn’t help but laugh at that.
