Chapter 274: Arren and Spade (6)
Arren had never been acting so nervous in a banquet before. He kept his head lowered, as he wanted to be as inconspicuous as possible. However, the more he acted as though he wanted to run into the bathroom and relieve himself, the more he caught the attention of others.
And that included the second person he was reluctant to meet in the palace. As Arren was making himself invisible in the corner, a carefree voice rang behind him.
"Arren?"
This voice was so familiar that it immediately gave him a start, making him flinch, and his head shot up to look at the newcomer. Sure enough, it was Levin!
Their eyes met, and Arren was so distraught that he couldn’t react quickly.
Levin tilted his head in confusion and tried to touch his forehead, but Arren was fast this time, and he avoided it. This did not make the atmosphere awkward, though, as the two had always been this way. Well, that was before.
"Uhh... it’s you..." If it were a normal day, this might already sound dissapointed and annoyed, but it only came off as cautious and awkward.
Fuck. Arren cursed in his mind. The influence of his new friends was also being integrated into him.
Levin also appeared to have realized why Arren was acting like this, and he couldn’t say anything for a while but then inquired after clearing his throat.
"Why are you here? I mean, why are you sitting here?"
Arren almost rolled his eyes. Earlier, he was indeed so surprised to meet Levin, but now that he was already talking to him, especially with him being so painfully oblivious, Arren only got irritated instead.
