Chapter 1292 Do you mind if I pinch you once?
Chapter 1292 Do you mind if I pinch you once?
"Mind your own business," Sky rolled his eyes in annoyance, showing no intention of moving an inch. "What are you doing here?"
"Look at what you're running for," Land sneered. "Come out when you've had enough, so you won't be missing when we land."
He seemed to have just come to take a look, said his piece, and then turned and left.
The door wasn't pulled by any external force, and it quickly and slowly closed on its own.
The light that shone through the crack in the door gradually disappeared as the door closed tighter. Sky sat on the floor, staring at the closed door, without saying a word.
The door was closed completely, airtight, plunging the small storage room into complete darkness, without a single ray of light.
However, Sky seemed to be quite used to it. Suddenly, he let out a soft "humph," then buried his head in his knees and fell silent.
In the quiet storage room, he could only hear the sound of his own heartbeat.
But this sense of darkness and silence gave Sky an unparalleled sense of security.
As the approaching footsteps sounded outside the door, Sky, who had been motionless like a small stone, suddenly looked up and stared intently at the closed door.
Soon, in the next second, the familiar footsteps stopped outside the door, the door was suddenly opened, and a sudden burst of light shone through. Sky squinted and saw Tang Tang standing outside the door.
“I just ran into Land, and he told me you were here.”
"So you were here after all," Tang Tangqing's clear voice rang out, tinged with curiosity. "What are you doing hiding here? Cosplaying as a shady mushroom?"
She opened the storage room door wide, walked up to Sky, and looked down at him curiously. "Speak."
"It's too noisy outside," Sky retorted stubbornly. "Can't I just stay here?"
"Sure, I didn't say no," Tang Tang chuckled, nudging Sky's leg with her foot. "But dinner's about to start outside, aren't you going to eat?"
Sky shifted like a little turtle, dodging Tang Tang's toes.
Tang Tang then intensified her actions, following up and kicking him again.
The force was quite light, not much different from nudging a puppy's belly with the tip of your foot.
Sky glared at her like a bomb had been dropped, "What are you doing!"
"It's none of your business," Tang Tang said matter-of-factly. "You won't even let me kick you. How can you be so stingy?"
Sky looked at Tang Tang's expression, which was full of "you shameless" looks, and then moved his leg again fiercely.
And of course, there's my own butt sitting on the ground.
Unfortunately, Tang Tang was incredibly bored. Whenever Sky moved a little to the side, she would move a little to the side as well, and then she would lift her foot to nudge Sky's leg.
Sky's chest heaved with anger, and his eyes were large. Perhaps because the light in the storage room was dim, Sky's already dark eyes appeared even larger and darker.
Sky's dark pupils stared at Tang Tang, his expression displeased. He looked arrogant and untamed, giving off a sense of ungratefulness, like an ingrate who couldn't be fed.
But in reality, he was constantly being teased by Tang Tang, and he moved himself to a corner against the wall until he had no room to move anymore.
After Tang Tang kicked him again, Sky finally lost his temper and no longer cared about the inexplicable suppressed emotions he had just felt.
At that moment, he hugged his knees and shouted at Tang Tang, "What are you doing! So free!"
"Just kidding," Tang Tang laughed, then bent down and, like a mischievous older sister, directly confronted Sky to look at him.
Looking at someone's face up close is extremely impolite.
A storage room is, after all, a storage room; it was pitch black inside without any lights. Even though Tang Tang opened the door, the light from outside didn't make much of a difference.
Not to mention that Tang Tang was close at this moment, although she wasn't strong enough to have her back spread out and block out the sky... cough cough.
However, Tang Tang, standing high above, almost completely blocked all the light from Sky's view.
He watched Tang Tang getting closer and closer, his eyes widening unnaturally, like a startled cat, and stammered, "W-what are you doing!"
Tang Tang suddenly smiled, then quickly pinched Sky's cheek with her hand, without holding back at all, making Sky's cheek hurt immediately.
In a good mood, she said, "Get up and go eat."
"what!!!"
Sky pitifully raised his hand to cover his aching cheek, glaring at Tang Tang with a look of deep resentment, and shouted desperately, "I know! I know! Eat! Eat! Are you a reincarnated starving ghost? All you ever think about is eating!!! Why are you pinching me!!"
I felt utterly helpless, like a caught mouse.
But Tang Tang simply raised her hand and pinched it again, this time on the other side of her face. It was perfect, very symmetrical. Satisfied, she withdrew her hand amidst Sky's screams, then straightened up and hummed, "Mind your own business."
She strolled away, laughing at him as she went, "Anyway, you can't beat me, so I can pinch you whenever I want. Just wait until tonight when you're sleeping, I'll come and secretly pinch your face again."
At this moment, Sky's mind was completely blank, devoid of any other random thoughts.
If this were made into an anime, Sky's eyes would be swollen from crying right now.
The pain in my cheek was very noticeable, especially since Tang Tang hadn't held back at all.
He stormed out of the storage room in a huff, ran to the bathroom to look in the mirror, and saw himself in the mirror looking as if he had been bullied terribly.
Both cheeks were slightly swollen, and there were some red marks.
"Bad woman! Bad woman!"
Sky muttered to himself in the mirror, then remembered Tang Tang's "provocative" words from earlier. Suddenly, he unleashed a series of smooth, impotent rages at the air.
It's funny and childish.
……
Tang Tang hummed a song as she walked and laughed.
Sky is so much fun! Compared to the other mercenaries who have too many worries, Sky is definitely the easiest to soothe.
His emotions come and go quickly, and Sky's extreme insensitivity to emotions also provides a basis for minimizing the harm he suffers.
Being too slow to react makes even sadness seem less obvious.
But this is good too. I've had a hard enough life before, so being happy all the time is a kind of luck.
Looking at Land, who was leaning against the corner and looking at her not far away, Tang Tang's gaze swept over his face, which was almost identical to Sky's, and then she raised an eyebrow and said, "Waiting for me?"
Land shook his head, then said, "...Thank you."
"Thank me for what?" Tang Tang shrugged. "You and Sky are both my people, so I have a duty to protect you, don't I?"
Looking at Land's face, she felt a little itchy to touch him, so she simply moved closer to him and raised her hand, saying, "You don't mind if I pinch you, do you?"
[Hehe, this time it's a real leave of absence (flips fingers), updates will be normal tomorrow.]
