Capítulo 114: Chapter 114: Running Away from Home
Vina blushed as soon as she heard that, even more so than Mentor Hollan. With her collar pulled down due to eating, Fei'erde could see that her entire lower face had turned into a red apple. Steam even began to emanate from her head.
Wow, a steam maiden! Fei'erde always thought that was something only found in anime and movies. But come to think of it, after intense exercise, with body temperature rising and sweating all over, steam would come off him too.
It just showed how embarrassed Vina was, for her temperature to rise so quickly. But being hugged in his arms, warm and cozy, wasn't bad at all.
While Mentor Hollan, on the other hand, was cold as ice. A Song of Ice and Fire? Heh, not bad!
"Vina?" Fei'erde grinned as he leaned closer.
Vina shrunk her neck, as if trying to hide her face in her collar. But now she was leaning against Fei'erde's chest, so where could she hide?
"A kiss, just one, okay?" Fei'erde asked.
"Um..." Vina made an indistinct sound, and if you lifted her bangs at that moment, you'd see a vortex in her silver-gray eyes.
She neither agreed nor refused. So Fei'erde hesitated whether to kiss her or not. But then Hollan gently tapped him. "Don't bully her, look how shy she is..."
"I'm not..." Fei'erde felt a bit wronged, then nodded and asked Vina, "Then no kiss?"
Vina still didn't answer, neither accepting nor rejecting.
Fei'erde tilted his head, then reached out and gently rubbed her short hair. "Then let's leave it for now. When you're ready, we'll kiss, okay?"
This time Vina reacted. She lifted her face slightly, looked at Fei'erde, then lowered her head again, as if thinking. After a moment, Fei'erde heard a very small, almost breathless sound. "Um..."
The voice was so small, almost just a whisper.
If it weren't for the quietness of the room, Fei'erde might not have heard it. "Did you agree?" Fei'erde was pleasantly surprised.
"Yes." This time Vina's voice was a little louder, confirming that Fei'erde hadn't misheard.
Fei'erde was instantly overjoyed, pinching her cheeks affectionately. "Good Vina~"
Vina's cheeks turned red again, and she shrank into Fei'erde's arms, not daring to move. "I want one too, meow!" Qiqi spoke up.
Fei'erde chuckled and kissed her on the cheek. No kissing on the lips. Qiqi had developed a habit of sticking out her tongue after kissing, which would scare Mentor Hollan. Although Mentor Hollan was the oldest here, she was still as innocent as a little girl in this regard. The most experienced one here was probably the youngest Qiqi.
"Now are you satisfied, you big wolf?" Hollan crossed her arms, pouting slightly as she looked at Fei'erde.
More than satisfied, Fei'erde's mouth was almost crooked with joy. "Okay, how long are you going to hug me for? The food's getting cold, and it's tens of thousands worth of dishes."
Hollan said, still a bit resentful about the tens of thousands worth of dishes.
"Then feed me," Fei'erde pushed his luck.
"How old are you that you still need to be fed?" Hollan couldn't help but laugh.
"Just one bite, Hollan mentor is the best, okay?" Fei'erde activated his big guy's coquettishness!
This move was irresistible to the landlady. Nor could Mentor Hollan resist it. Rolling her eyes at him, Hollan reluctantly picked up a piece of beef, cradled it, and brought it to his mouth. "Here." Although she looked unwilling, her movements were very gentle.
Fei'erde opened his mouth and took a bite, chewing and smiling, showing how happy he was. Hollan couldn't help but laugh as she watched the big guy in front of her smile like a child. This meal was so delicious.
After dinner, the group went for a walk in a park in Grilla City. The environment here was beautiful, with a city lake where people were fishing.
The positioning had changed since then.
Originally, Fei'erde stood on the far left, Vina on the far right, with Hollan in the middle.
But now, Vina was on Fei'erde's right, Hollan on his left, and Kiki was on Fei'erde's shoulder.
It was obvious that after this meal, the relationship had subtly changed.
In a good way!
Fei'erde held Vina's hand with his right hand, Hollan's with his left hand, while Qiqi rested on his shoulder, her little hand gently massaging his earlobe, mischievous.
Vina seemed a bit shy, only hooking her pinky finger with his.
Mentor Hollan, on the other hand, was bolder, her hand completely in Fei'erde's palm.
The three of them, along with the cat, walked leisurely, enjoying the tranquility of the moment.
"Fei'erde," suddenly, Hollan spoke up.
Fei'erde looked at her. "Hmm?"
"Do you think... is it more important to pursue your dreams or to follow the wishes of your family?" Hollan didn't look at Fei'erde but ahead, asking.
"Of course, it's more important to pursue your dreams," Fei'erde said.
"Why?" This time Hollan looked at Fei'erde, curiosity in her eyes.
"Because I don't have a family," Fei'erde smiled. "So for me, dreams are more important."
Hollan was stunned, her eyes flickering. "What about your family?"
"Some have passed away, some are still searching," Fei'erde looked at the stars.
"Ah..." Hollan was taken aback, then apologized, "I didn't know..."
"It's okay, when my grandfather passed away, I was sad for only a few months. If it went on too long, he might crawl out of his grave to scold me, because he hated people who remained depressed for too long," Fei'erde chuckled.
"Fei'erde, sometimes I really admire your attitude, as if nothing can make you despair. Do you have a secret?" Hollan asked.
"Of course," Fei'erde grinned. "Early to bed, early to rise, eat on time, maintain a good routine."
Hollan puzzled, "I can do all of that, why can't I be like you?"
"Because I don't go to bed early, I don't wake up early, I don't eat on time, and I don't maintain a good routine," Fei'erde said seriously.
"..."
"Scoundrel, you're just teasing me..." Hollan pouted.
Fei'erde chuckled, seeing the girlish side of Hollan after she let go of her mentor's burden was really cute.
Fei'erde couldn't help but lift her hand, lightly kissing it, then said, "Actually, what you said about dreams, family wishes, none of that really matters."
"Don't let your dreams become a burden, don't let your family's wishes hold you back."
"Follow your heart, that's where true happiness lies."
"Do you remember what I said, about being free from rules?"
"Dreams are what you want to do, what you want to achieve."
"If you've tried your best and still can't achieve it, then don't be attached to it."
"If you're unhappy with your family's wishes, then be a rebellious child."
"Don't listen to the elders, be happy every day."
Listening to Fei'erde's words, Hollan giggled, "These are all twisted logic, you're going to corrupt the kids."
Fei'erde suddenly became serious, "No, I promise I'll raise our baby very well!"
Hollan blinked, then blushed, scolding him, "You're incorrigible..."
But such words made her feel sweet in her heart.
And what Fei'erde said was actually what she had always wanted to do.
She had been a good girl for twenty-six years, maybe she should try being a rebellious child.
So she quickly showed a determined look in her eyes, turned to Fei'erde and said, "Fei'erde, I'm going back to the family in a few days."
"Why are you going back to the family? Do you need help?" Fei'erde asked.
"No, I'm going back to announce something," Hollan smiled.
"What?"
"I'm running away from home!"
"Hahaha, just don't say I incited you, or your family might hate me!"
"Hmph, scared?"
"Scared?" Fei'erde chuckled. "There's no such word in my dictionary!"
"Hmmph, I can see that," Hollan chuckled. "It hasn't been long, and you're already kissing your mentor in broad daylight."
Fei'erde leaned closer at her words. "Broad daylight? But it's night now."
Hollan was stunned, her eyes a bit evasive. "N-nighttime is not okay either..."
"A kiss, just one."
"Don't, you just kissed me..."
"My dear Mentor Hollan, please fulfill my small request."
"Um... if I agree, you'll definitely push your luck."
"I promise I won't, just one kiss."
Blushing, Hollan hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Just one, I'm your mentor, if the students see it, it's not... umph!"
Before she could finish, Fei'erde's lips were on hers.
Unlike Qiqi's, perhaps because Hollan was an ice mage, her lips were a bit cold but equally soft and sweet.
After a moment of kissing, Fei'erde chuckled. "See, I said just one."
But Hollan's face was so red it looked like it might bleed. "But... you didn't say it was a kiss..."
"Didn't I?" Fei'erde pretended to be puzzled.
Seeing him like this, Hollan pouted. "Scoundrel!"
Fei'erde laughed and lifted his hand, placing it on her left shoulder and pulling her close.
Now their bodies were close together.
Hollan's body tensed slightly, but when she saw that Fei'erde didn't make any further moves, she gradually relaxed.
Feeling his warmth, Hollan felt warm and secure.
Vina just watched quietly, not saying a word, feeling as invisible as ever, even leaning to the
right, trying not to interfere with Fei'erde and Hollan's intimate interaction.
But Fei'erde didn't forget about her.
With a sweep of his big hand, Vina exclaimed and also leaned against Fei'erde's right side.
Vina was a little flustered, lowering her head and not daring to look at Fei'erde.
Fei'erde just smiled and gently rubbed her head.
"Vina, study well."
"Don't worry about anything else, I'm here."
Hearing this, Vina gradually relaxed and nodded gently. "Hmm."
"Haitis is just the beginning. I believe you can reach higher heights and go to more prestigious academies," Fei'erde smiled.
"More prestigious academies, that would be super elite academies, it's not easy to get into super elite academies," Hollan smiled.
Hearing this, Vina whispered softly, "I... I will try my best..."
"I believe you can, so now I've got your back. When you go to the super elite academy in the future, you'll have to have mine, you know?" Fei'erde said.
"Hmm."
"Don't hmm, say you know."
"I know."
"So obedient~"
