Chapter 596 - The Block-Head Couple

Tang Xinyang sat beside William. She leaned closer.

"Senior, when will you visit us again?"

William inched away from her. "Nothing is sure yet. We don't know what will come tomorrow, do we?" He was afraid that the loud beating of his heart would be heard by this martial artist beside him.

She might already have but just brushed it down.

Tang Xinyang inched closer again. "Eh~ Senior, if you don't know when you will visit here, can I come to you then?" 

Tang Xinyang's big brown eyes looked hopefully at William.

William's heart skipped a beat.

Too close...

Because she was sitting close to him and kept shoving her face towards him, William could smell the refreshing fragrance coming from Tang Xinyang. He held himself back from sniffing her hair like before.

"No need to come to me. If fate allows us to meet, we will surely meet again," William answered with an awkward smile, trying to sound casual.

"Eh? Then when fate will allow us to have rematch? When both of us are old?"

"Haha. I think so." William looked away with a dull face. He turned to Xiong Zhi who just stood there silently watching them. He gritted his teeth. "Kitten, come here and sit with me." 

Xiong Zhi moved forward. But instead of sitting beside him, she sat across the two. 

She crossed her arms, narrowing her long phoenix eyes as she continued to stare at him.

William squirmed.

Why did the kitten's stare feel hair-raising?

Meanwhile, Jang Shin expressionlessly shoved Tang Xinyang's face away from William. 

"I'll sit with you," Jang Shin said to William. He gestured for Tang Xinyang to move.

"This guy again! You are always coming between us." Tang Xinyang stayed still and purposely came closer to William. She muttered angrily, "Because of you, I never got the chance for a rematch with senior. I lost many chances."

Jang Shin: =_= ╬ 

"If you don't move away, I will sit on your beloved senior's lap," Jang Shin threatened coldly.

William choked.

Tang Xinyang: !!!

Xiong Zhi: ....

Tang Xinyang was suddenly stiff. "Y-y-you... have you lost your mind?"

William nodded glumly while patting down the goosebumps in his arms. "Even if that is only an empty threat, it's so creepy and gross just thinking about."

Tang Xinyang: "Jang Shin, don't tell me, you actually have those thoughts on senior? You can't like him, he's a man!"

William and Jang Shin choked.

Wtf?!?!

Xiong Zhi indifferently started playing with her nails. She commented nonchalantly. "Jang Shin, if you are skipping work just to stalk William in the past few days, you should ask him about his orientation. If you get the answer soon, you will not be wasting your time right now and Linfeng will not be so busy in filling in for your work."

Xiong Zhi barely talked with Linfeng in the past four days because Jang Shin often went missing just to appear in Tang Xinyang's and William's date as a hundred-kilowatt lightbulb.

It was all according to the plan, but Shinichi coming to the country and staying under SC's care was a variable. It bit them back and now, Xiong Zhi was the one suffering from lack of Linfeng's warmth.

Tang Xinyang's eyes opened wide as she sat rooted in place. "...So when Jang Shin said he is not busy, all this time, he was lying just to get senior? You..." 

The eyes staring at Jang Shin was filled with disbelief and shock.

Jang Shin and William: "..."

Ha. So these two girls were definitely playing a prank on them.

What's up with the minds of women?

William rolled his eyes and stood up. He faced Jang Shin pretentiously. "Since you like me so much and even followed me here, I think it's right to spend my precious twenty minutes on you. Let's go somewhere. Treasure this moment very well."

Let's have a talk, bastard.

Jang Shin : ╬(¬_¬ )

But since he had something to say to this man, he nodded and accepted his invitation.

Tang Xinyang suddenly stood up, panicked. "Wait! A-are you really serious?" she asked Jang Shin with wide eyes.

"Serious in what?"

"Liking senior.... I thought... you are getting in the way because of me. I know senior is cool, mighty, and super manly. But, but... you should not fall for him! He is a man!"

She bit her lips. Was she wrong? At first she was hopeful that after that day on the lower floor of H.X Hotel, Jang Shin had finally opened his heart albeit narrowly and small for her. 

Didn't he kiss her?

Jang Shin's strange actions in the past four days made her hope a little. She thought that he kept interfering because he was worried that she would fight with William again and get hurt like the first day. She was happy with his concern and entertained thoughts that perhaps, Jang Shin was finally accepting his feelings for her.

However, it turned out, Jang Shin was actually targeting William all this time? No wonder Jang Shin only talked to William in the past few days and ignored her!

A woman desperate in love had a fragile heart and was full of doubts and insecurities. 

Tang Xinyang thoughts were not making any sense due to her low self confidence in getting Jang Shin's acceptance.

"..." Xiong Zhi facepalmed. 

She created an opportunity for William to threaten Jang Shin or at least for the two to have a manly talk, as this was William's last help for the two to incite Jang Shin. 

Yet this freaking zero EQ martial arts addict ruined it all!

William was also speechless. The girl's affection was this deep, to the point that she could make up such a ridiculous idea?

This foolish and blind love... made William irritated.

Jang Shin on the other hand had already jumped up in shock like a cat stepped on its tail. "Idiot! Where in the world did you get that idea?! I am more handsome than him! He might be stronger and taller than me but I am still manly! And between the two of you, you are way cooler!"

Xiong Zhi looked at the angry man with a blank face, her mouth slightly opened. 

...Is that even the point?

She calmed down and blankly turned her eyes away.

Never mind, these two were born for each other and a hopeless case.

William's smile faltered. 

The heck... These two.... Their brain cells had some problems...

After a few seconds of shock, Tang Xinyang sighed in relief. Then she turned red. 

'You are way cooler!'

'You are cooler!'

These words were like 'I choose you', weren't they?

She coughed and rubbed her nose, pressing down the rising corners of her lips. 

"Oh... I-is that so? T-then I won't stop you. Go ahead, don't mind me, hehe." 

Tang Xinyang sat back again. She held her cheeks, repeated Jang Shin's words, and interpreted them many times in mind.

After a pause, Jang Shin's ears reddened in embarrassment.

But this woman with a chicken brain would really believe and entertain that ridiculous idea if he did not make it clear.

"Let's go," Jang Shin said to William awkwardly.

William glanced dully at Tang Xinyang who was grinning widely. Then at the man who was holding in his embarrassment. 

He felt irritated again.

Dang it!
