My Future Wife Is Androphobic Chapter 35 - Blind

Chapter 35 - Blind

"H-how did you know?" she asked and Kira almost choked. Well, he can't possibly tell her that he knew her background for now or she'll think he's a stalker.

"Just a guess." Gladly, he managed to answer her as naturally as he could. "Let's go, before everyone in your house come out looking for you." he added as he began dragging Zeri with him.

Zeri's brows knotted as she caught up with him and walk beside him. She was glancing at their hands with a faint glint of curiosity in her eyes.

Of course, Kira noticed her reactions and he began to feel somewhat displeased again. It was because he could see that this didn't seem to excite her at all. He couldn't help but remember the almost exaggerated reactions of all the girls he dated before whenever he held their hands like this and somehow, comparing their reactions to Zeri's was just driving him nuts.

"What are you thinking? Don't tell me you don't like me holding your hand," he couldn't help but spit out the thoughts in his head. His voice sounded displeased and he seemed to have forgotten to sugar coat his tone this time.

However,

"I like it," Zeri replied and Kira almost screeched into a halt. His eyes turned wide as his head snapped towards her.

Shock and disbelief were like fireworks exploding in Kira's eyes as he looked at her.

W-what did I just hear?!

"Y-you like it?" he asked, trying to confirm if what he heard wasn't some hallucination. Kira seemed to have gotten so used with Zeri's lack of reaction in anything that he does that he now found her every reaction unbelievably unbelievable.

So when Zeri nodded, he felt something d.a.m.n unexpected and strange; his heart started to accelerate rapidly.

Kira was having a hard time believing himself and his very own reactions. He couldn't believe that just some few words from the squirrel was actually enough to stir chaos in his heart. This was something completely unthinkable for him, but…

"Your hand is warm, just like my little brother's." she added and the pink cherry blossoms that just started romantically falling on them abruptly disappeared.

H-huh? Did she just say that I'm like her little brother?! T-this little…

Kira's vein popped but before he could even start protesting, before a word could leave his mouth…

"Ahh! Shooting star!" Zeri yelled and Kira was forced to immediately look at the sky.

"Did you see it!" she excitedly asked and when Kira shook his head, she pouted again, causing Kira's eyes to be glued on her once more.

"That's too bad," she murmured, sounding regretful and Kira looked away as he rubbed the back of his neck.

This girl… so seeing a shooting star excites her much more than holding hands with me huh… d.a.m.n… what is the meaning of this?!

Kira quietly sighed and his grip on her palm tightened. He glanced at her and he sighed again, trying to recharged himself from these seemingly endless streak of defeats.

"Anyway, why are you dressed like this?" he tried changing the topic.

Zeri fell quiet for a while before she replied. "Because its… comfortable. If I'm dressed like this, men wouldn't approach me."

Her answer made Kira halt. His brows creased and the worried look in his eyes returned. "Don't tell me you're always walking alone in this street every night at this hour." He said and when the girl simply nodded like his question was just some random everyday queries, Kira slightly clenched his fist.

"This street is safe and this was the first time that trouble had happen. If not for you, I would've been at home by now." She said and Kira could only smirk he ruffled her hair with annoyance.

"Stop being so c.o.c.ky you little squirrel."

"I'm telling the truth. I would have had run away before they could even approach me."

Somehow, what she was saying made sense. With her unbelievable speed, she could have easily outrun anyone who would try chasing her.

Thinking about it, Kira could only sigh again.

"But your speed isn't enough to keep you safe. You know that what you're doing is still dangerous." He uttered when unexpectedly, Zeri suddenly blocked his way, stopping him.

She was staring at him with wonder in her eyes and she looked really amazed, something that confused Kira.

"What." He asked.

"Why do you speak like my brother's as well? You really sounded like him." She said and Kira was about to get mad when…

Zeri suddenly chuckled.

Watching her, Kira, had turn into stone. This was the first time he saw her laugh and she was so… d.a.m.n… so, d.a.m.n…

Kira's heartbeat started accelerating like crazy and he couldn't take his eyes off her. Her chuckle was like suns.h.i.+ne in winter - so magically pleasing and warm.

Even though it was jut for a moment, it sure caused an extreme chaos within him, and it was the kind of chaos he never experience before.

While Kira was still rooted on the ground, Zeri started moving forward. But Kira didn't move to follow her, causing the girl to turn and look at him again with question in her eyes.

"Stop comparing me with your little brother." Kira suddenly said. He stepped closer to her and he gently cupped her face with his one hand.

But the girl simply blinked curiously. "You don't like it?"

"Obviously."

"But why? My brother is very cute you know? You should be grateful."

"So, you're saying I'm very cute as well, huh."

A smile curved on Kira's face as he asked but Zeri narrowed her eyes, obviously trying to think about what he said as she began scrutinizing his face.

"Hmm…" she seemed hesitating and her obvious hesitation made Kira's vein pop again. "No you're not." She finally said, causing Kira to close his eyes as he bite his lips.

This little… is she blind?! How could she... Wait… could it be that…
