Chapter 134: It’s Not A Date [6]
Soon enough, we stepped out of the restaurant, the warm scent of food still lingering on our clothes. The sky had darkened just a little, dyed in soft hues of orange and purple. I instinctively checked my watch—part of me hoping this strange outing would end so I could retreat back to the comfort of my dorm.
But of course, I knew better. That wasn’t happening. Not with her.
So, I didn’t say anything. I just stood there and waited, hands tucked in my pockets, silently watching Leona as she turned toward me with a glimmer in her eyes.
"Then... shall we go watch a movie now?"
"...Huh?"
Yep. I knew it. This weird, not-quite-a-date situation wasn’t over yet.
Leona smiled, her eyes crinkling playfully. "What? Don’t tell me you’re already tired, Rin."
I opened my mouth but didn’t bother trying to come up with an excuse. There was no point. She would just talk me into it anyway.
"Rin will buy the popcorn, right?" she added sweetly, walking a few steps ahead without even waiting for an answer.
Her cheerful tone made me chuckle. I couldn’t help it. She really had a way of dragging people along with her pace.
"Yes, yes," I replied, falling into step beside her. "I’ll buy you some."
