Chapter 427: Chapter 420. Quality Over Quantity

The first thing Bassena did after Zein's mind-boggling statement was to slap his cheek. It wasn't light too, but one hard enough to make the sound echoing in the room. 

"Wow, it hurts," Bassena muttered, but contrary to his words, he was grinning so wide people would have thought he just won a lottery or something.

But this was even greater than winning a lottery.

He swiftly looked back at Zein and grasped the guide's face. "No take back."

"Why would I do that--"

"No take back!"

The esper insisted aggressively, and Zein could only chuckle in response. Yeah; this is his Bassena. Instead of answering with words, Zein pulled the man who was now technically older than him for a kiss. This one was soft and gentle and spelled with love in every touch of their lips. 

"Wow..." Bassena muttered in a daze, feeling all the butterflies he experienced during their first kiss at that lakeside in the Deathzone.
