The Village Girl And the Fox Prince
Chapter 23 - Reuniting.
Lynx tries to stay calm. Pulling the corner of his lips, showing a wry smile. “That would be a bad sign if you didn't return my feelings.”
Hazel then frowned. I thought Lynx was serious, but a second later she saw the man in front of her laugh. The sign of what he said just now was just a joke.
“Hey, come. I don't want to be joked. Tell me what will happen exactly,” urged Hazel, her expression changed firmly.
I don't know, he felt that this was a bad sign for Lynx. But the big-shouldered man was acting ordinary. Contrary to what Hazel is worried about right now.
“Calm down, don't worry like that. This is not a sign of anything. Perhaps because the age of the stone inside this pendant had been too long, the magic channeled into it had weakened. I guess ... It will not be bad,” the response is relaxed.
“Alright, then let's go somewhere,” Hazel invites suddenly, bringing curiosity to Lynx who heard it.
“Today? Tumben. Usually we never go anywhere,” said with a rancid expression.
Hazel gave a brief glance. “You don't want to? Let me go alone then,” the breakup is one-sided.
Both of Lynx's eyes blinked quickly, he was unwilling to waste this opportunity. Since now is a holiday, maybe the girl wants to take her out for a walk.
“Eh, I'm kidding. Anyway, what's wrong with my question?” Lynx leaned closer to Hazel, putting her palms in front of her face as she continued to plead with her.
Hazel's soft sighs popped out, her hands extended forward, pushing Lynx's body with one hand. “Wait for me outside, I'll get ready for a minute.”
“Ready, Miss small.”
The door to the room is closed. Lynx is already outside. He walked straight into the living room, his fingers touching the pendant that was coiled around his neck.
Look at the pendant. A speck of anxious feeling appeared within the chest. Fast forward to presenting the bad thoughts that are now residing in his mind.
Because to be honest, if the pendant light he was wearing began to fade, then Lynx was in a situation of danger. But because she is reluctant to make Hazel worry, Lynx chooses to cover up the truth until time will explain itself.
“How much longer are the remaining days until time shows everything?” Lynx muttered sadly, increasingly realizing that she and Hazel could not be together.
The limited time possessed, making the distance between the two widen. Hope to unite in the name of love seems increasingly impossible to realize.
Clasping tightly onto the pendant stone still attached to his neck, Lynx took off his head, looking at the ceiling of the house filled with holes. A cold wind from outside entered from the crack.
Closing his eyes for a moment, Lynx muttered again, “If indeed until the time comes we can not be together, I just want to know directly that you have the same feelings as me.”
Hazel had just come out of the room, complete with a simple plain long dress and neatly tied hair. His eyes immediately shone on Lynx's back, looking at what the man was doing.
“What are you doing?” Hazel speeded up, stopping in front of Lynx's tall body.
He observed Lynx closing her eyes with her chin held high. When both eyelids open perfectly, Lynx's beautiful eye color successfully makes Hazel fester.
“I only feel the humidity here,” excuses Lynx, as well as break the admiration of the girl in front of him.
Hazel cleared her throat briefly, then glanced in any direction. “Winter will be here soon. Maybe the condition of this house will feel cooler than usual.”
“True. But here we both live. Easy if you want to warm the body temperature together,” said Lynx who sounded ambiguous.
The girl who wore a triangular headband then flinched. In his mind there was one thing he could imagine. I don't know if it's actually different from what Lynx meant.
“S-it looks like we have to leave soon.” Diverting the conversation, Hazel immediately turned the body and guided the way.
His bongsor body followed the little girl with a gurgling step while humming, just like an enthusiastic boy because he was invited to go for a walk. Sometimes his head moved to the right and to the left, it was seen that he was very happy.
On the other hand, he also tried to keep his tail and ears from appearing. It can be bad if someone is looking. His identity will be sniffed, it could also bring disaster to Hazel later.
“By the way, where are we going? You haven't told me anything.” Lynx made a sound after a busy moment of circulating his gaze in various directions.
“I have a little money. Why don't we have fun? I heard near here there is a market, there are many cheap food of course, and also many who sell pretty trinkets.”
Lynx nodded. “Good, let's have fun!”
When the two of them reached the market place where the center of the people wanted to shop for various kinds of goods or food, Lynx was unceasingly amazed. His eyes sparkled brightly with a mouth that made a slight gap.
This was indeed not the first time he had come to a crowded place filled with humans. Because of what amazed Lynx, he saw that there were so many items of sale that he had never seen in the place he had previously lived.
“We haven't had breakfast yet, let's find a good meal,” Hazel took a step first.
Because there are so many people passing by, Lynx with his large body was a bit difficult to follow the steps of Hazel who was agile. So that he was left far away by her.
Lynx frowns like a puppy that lost its mother. Despite her tall body, Lynx still finds it difficult to find Hazel's whereabouts through her radar. His body could not stop, as many people from both sides continued to squeeze forward and backward simultaneously.
Hazel, who had not realized that Lynx had been left far behind, was even cool to see various items lined up neatly on her right. Started interested to buy a bracelet that can be engraved a name.
“It looks funny. I want to buy it,” muttered Hazel with a full stare of twinkle.
While looking at his head, he said something, “You want to buy also no? If you want, I-”
His words hang because he did not find the figure of Lynx behind his body. When it turned 180 degrees, he could only see the strangers who continued to walk forward in unison.
Trying to tiptoe while continuing to accredit all objects monitored from the sense of sight, but still his efforts ended nil. Supposedly with that tall body, the figure of Lynx can be more striking.
“Aishh, where did he go?” Hazel grew increasingly confused, her body retreating involuntarily. Until finally hit something that requires him to turn the body.
“Hai, long time no see.” A person he just hit waved while showing his trademark grin that was able to make Hazel shudder creeps.
“Looks like your life is improving. How does it feel to live with a handsome guy? Is he rich enough to make you beaming all the time?” while tilting his head, his smile looked even more horrible.
In a sea of humans who are quite boisterous because of frenzy, making it difficult for Hazel to escape. If possible, then Hazel must force herself through dozens of people to fight the direction.
Truly, he did not believe that he would meet the man again so soon. Though the time of one month had not passed, but why did he come to her sooner?
“... Just tell me if you're actually a whore with high taste. I can put you special. It can only serve selected customers. Hows it? Or you're still strong want---”
THE PLAQUE!
Hazel stopped the big-mouthed man with a loud slap, successfully drawing the attention of the people around her to stop her steps just to watch the exciting-looking show here.
“Close your foul mouth, you bastard!”
