Chapter 15: Do You Have A Boyfriend?

As he ate, Arion asked, "What about Shun? Is he still here?"

Mei asked amusedly, "Why does it seem like you want to get rid of him?"

Arion said defensively, "Nothing like that. It's just that he is a stranger we know nothing about. And it's not safe for us."

Mei softly laughed, "Is that what you are worried about? He is just an injured kid, and don't worry. I will protect you."

Arion pursed his lips, "I know...but still don't let down your guard."

Mei's eyes glinted as she said, "You really seem to be more thoughtful than ever. I never thought you would be this careful and think about things more deeply."

Arion dryly chuckled as he said, "I just never bothered to think too much about things...even my own life because of my condition. But since things are starting to look good for me, I feel like I could think about things I never bothered before. Maybe that's why you get to see this side of me."

"Seems like an interesting side," Mei said as she gracefully took a bite of the food placed before her.

"Well, when am I going to proceed to the next stage? I can't wait to walk," Arion asked with a shine of excitement in his eyes.

Mei had tried to heal him again before dinner, only for Arion to get disappointed again. However, he didn't really mind it since he knew once he entered the Prana Binding Stage, he could slowly recover his legs and start to walk.

Mei smiled, "I guess I can't blame you for being so eager. All these years, you were diligently working hard to just connect with prana by going all the way to the Central Ward just to use the Golden Monolith. And now your efforts finally paid off. Don't worry. Tomorrow, let's visit the Golden Monolith and begin to initiate you into the Prana Binding Stage."

"Wow, the Prana Binding stage? I heard it's the stage where one infuses prana onto their body to strengthen it. I can really walk again, right?" Arion eagerly asked even though he had asked the same question a thousand times. That was how much he was looking forward to standing on his own feet.

"Yes, of course, and if you successfully complete that stage, then you would become a Quasi-Defier," Mei said as encouragement.

Arion's eyes shone, "Phew, finally! I can't wait for it."

"Your legs would definitely start to heal. Once you bind enough prana onto your body, I can easily heal you, and we can start the recovery process. This time there should be no problems with me healing you," Mei said in a confident tone.

Arion looked at his legs and stroked his legs as he mumbled, "You good-ol legs...just wait...it would only be a matter of time before you two stand."

Mei gave a playful pinch on Arion's cheek and said, "Now, don't get too excited and forget about your food. It's already gotten cold. Eat it before it gets worse."

"Ow, okay, okay. Here's to me becoming fat," Arion said as he chomped down on his food.

Mei had a bemused smile, but she couldn't help but observe him closely as he ate. It was as if she was etching his image onto her mind and a faint light of endearment flashed past her eyes.

After eating, Arion asked in a doubtful tone, "Are you sure that Shun guy is asleep? What if he does something suspicious in the middle of the night?"

Mei was washing the plates and gave a side glance at Arion and said, "Yes, he even had his food inside the room itself. And besides, what can an injured boy like him do?"

"You are right. I am just overthinking," Since Arion had his life tough for half of his life, he couldn't help but be paranoid about some things.

"But aren't you curious who he really is? I wonder if he was lying about his memory," Arion said in a thoughtful tone.

Mei casually replied, "Even if he is really lying, what can we do about it? If he wants to keep things to himself, then let it be. After all, in his eyes, we are strangers as well. I think he is prudent by not revealing things if he was lying. And it's just till he recovers. After that, he would probably leave on his own if he didn't forget anything. Anyway, we did our part by helping him out."

"Yeah, but I think he was not faking when he said that he really doesn't know which place this was. So, he must not be from around here," Arion said in a thoughtful tone.

The reason Arion felt like prodding into Shun's existence was that everything about him was puzzling to him.

Why would anyone fall from the skies like that? How was that even possible? And why was he injured so severely?

Shun was young, but he was strong enough as a Defier to survive such a fall. Arion doubted if the rumored geniuses around Shun's age in his island would be able to survive such a fall.

Soon, in Mei's room, Arion was lying on the mattress while Mei laid down beside him. She circled her arm around his body and pulled him closer.

He subtly slid downwards till his head touched her chin and didn't shy away from hugging her.

Both his hands seemed like sly snakes that coiled around her hourglass figure, and just at that moment itself, Mei pushed him even further onto her, making his face squish against her two voluptuous snowballs.

Even though they were big, he could feel how well toned and supple they were without even directly touching them.

'How soft and big…milfy body is the best,' A perverted thought flashed past his mind as his previous life's habits made their appearance.

'She smells so nice...mmmm…' Arion thought he had good control over his perverted self. But he still couldn't help but inwardly comment as she had the fragrance of sandalwood, refreshing yet sensual and dewy.

He was sure any man would go crazy if they caught a whiff of her fragrance. Fortunately, he was the only one who got to smell her scent.

"Arion, you are tickling me with your nose," Mei softly chuckled with pinkish tint on her cheek, "Seems like you are quite excited not to feel sleepy."

'Of course, I am excited….' Arion inwardly coughed.

Arion immediately tightened his muscles since he was involuntarily rubbing his nose onto her cleavage. Since she was wearing a nightie with no bra and low neckline, half of his face was making contact with her soft and bare skin.

He felt as if his face was squashed between two soft cottony pillows. He was sure she was the first person he had ever seen with the best and biggest pair of melons. Since she usually wears a baggy dress, the size of her bosoms wasn't as prominent and noticeable as they are now.

With such an alluring beauty hugging him closely, he lost himself in her fragrance and in the softness of her well-endowed peaks.

Arion pulled back his head a bit, cleared his throat, and asked the question that had been in the back of his mind for a while, "Sister Mei, do you have a boyfriend?"
