Chapter 137: Hidden Truths
“You came for work...here? Are you sure you didn’t come here to slack-off from work?” I asked as I laugh. How could he or anyone work here? Apart from the amazing view, there was nothing else here.
Reiner did not reply to my question, instead he started to lay out a large mat on the grass clearing that we were standing on. Someone was well prepared as always. Guess we’ll be having a late-night picnic together at this place. Awesome!
I sat down immediately when Reiner was done setting up. I know I wasn’t the one who walked here, I was carried, but I still felt a little tired from the fear and excitement of our journey here. It was good to sit down and relax while gazing at the view. The city was lit with so many beautiful lights and the sight was mesmerizing. Looking down from where we were I could see the winding road that we must have taken to reach this place.
Reiner brought out the food and we started eating. We talked about random things to pass the time. The food didn’t interest me, so I finished eating in almost no time at all. Reiner hugged my body to his from behind as he continued to enjoy our conversation, the view and the light breeze.
“You know, I know so little about you. Mind telling me more about you?” I asked abruptly.
“What do you want to know?” Reiner replied flatly after some thought.
“Random things like...how old you are? Where were you born? Do you have any siblings? What you were like growing up?” I replied eagerly with a list of things I could think of at the top of my head that I wanted to know about Reiner.
“I’m 30. I was born in this country. I don’t have any siblings. I was an ordinary kid growing up,” Reiner replied emotionlessly.
“I see...” I replied blankly. What else was I expecting? I sighed softly at his unanimated response.
