Free Web NovelChapter 1545: Chapter 458: Abrupt Halt (Part 2)
"...Forget it, it’s nothing."
When people feel awkward, they really do laugh a little.
At this moment, Yan Huan was exactly like this.
"So, how is it, huh? Quickly, tell me, how is it, huh!?"
Fortunately, Aria couldn’t read his awkwardness and was just focused on spreading her arms, waiting for Yan Huan’s evaluation.
"Hmm..."
Specifically speaking, there wasn’t much change.
Maybe because Yan Huan had truly witnessed how skillfully Bai Yi could dress up, so upon seeing Aria’s attire, he found it rather rough.
The dress wasn’t ironed after washing, so it appeared full of wrinkles.
The hair was the best part, but it was just an ordinary twin-tails hairstyle.
However, when Yan Huan saw the look of anticipation in Aria’s eyes, he couldn’t help but change his words,
"You’re very cute."
"Yay!!"
As expected, after receiving Yan Huan’s compliment, Aria’s eyes immediately sparkled with a beautiful radiance, and she happily hugged Yan Huan.
Without Big Thumb, her strength was indeed much smaller, not as "iron-bodied" as before.
But being hugged by the soft and fragrant golden Bomb Pig, Yan Huan couldn’t help but smile as he patted her back and curiously asked,
"So, what made you suddenly think of preparing this surprise?"
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Aria lifted her head and looked at Yan Huan coquettishly. After hesitating for a moment, she gestured,
"It’s just that last time, when I made up with An Le, Sister Birdie, whom An Le knew, dressed me in pretty clothes and did my makeup... I thought it was very cute..."
Sister Birdie...
Was it Miyake Huhu?
Yan Huan didn’t know who it was either; it could also possibly be that makeup artist.
But...
Yan Huan looked down at Aria, seemingly realizing something, and asked,
"Do you want to become cute, Aria?"
"Yes, I do!"
"I see..."
Yan Huan roughly understood Aria’s thoughts.
Being conscious of others’ gazes, especially those of the opposite sex, and thus starting to dress oneself, is a very prominent trait of adolescence.
It’s something that doesn’t discriminate between genders; it’s just expressed differently.
Aria being oblivious in this area is completely understandable, given that she used to see others either as birds or pigs; it would be odd to have such thoughts in an "animal world."
But now, all of a sudden...
"..."
In a split second, Yan Huan opened his mouth.
Soon after, he lowered his head and asked hoarsely,
"Aria... is it because of me that you want to become cute?"
"!!"
Hearing this, Aria’s body trembled almost imperceptibly.
Visibly, her face seemed to turn a bit pink.
But even so, she just turned her eyes aside, looking at a spot next to him.
"..."
Not speaking directly, huh?!
After all, that doesn’t count as lying, right...
Nonetheless, Yan Huan seemed to know the answer, sighing lightly.
Because he also remembered how his heart had skipped a beat the first time he saw Aria dressed up in the bookstore.
Perhaps it was because she saw his gaze at that time that she wanted this.
"Hmm, my mom doesn’t let me wear makeup or anything, so I didn’t dare tell Heather. I could only secretly put on a little from the bathroom... but it doesn’t seem to make much difference..."
Even with Aria’s level of cluelessness, she realized that Yan Huan knew the answer even if she didn’t say it.
So to avoid awkwardness, she actually changed the topic.
Touching her tender face, she explained why she only applied skincare products.
"Hmm..."
Yan Huan didn’t recognize what she applied, but from the quality, it surely surpassed Bai Yi’s by a mile.
After applying it, Aria’s face was all "bling bling."
"And this dress, wearing it always makes my chest feel tight... I couldn’t fit it after wearing a bra, so I took it off..."
As she spoke, Aria adjusted her chest position, only by pressing it down a bit could it fit...
Could it be that you simply bought the wrong size?!
"..."
But...
For some reason, just thinking that Aria did all this because of him made Yan Huan’s heart race.
Thus, he didn’t give any reminders or say anything, just silently reached out, embracing the girl in front of him, pulling her into his arms.
Feeling herself embraced by Yan Huan, Aria blinked, then imitated him by reaching out to hug his back.
"You’re already cute enough, Aria."
"Really?"
"Really."
Hearing this, even while nestled in Yan Huan’s arms, Aria couldn’t help but wiggle, expressing her excitement.
Then, she pursed her lips, stepped back a little, and looked up at Yan Huan.
"What’s wrong?"
"..."
Aria said nothing, just gazed at Yan Huan.
As Yan Huan was at a loss, Aria suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed him.
"?"
Yan Huan blinked, and Aria, unsatisfied, pondered for a moment, then reached out to wrap her arms around Yan Huan’s neck.
With something to hold on to, she kissed him again.
This time, the kiss was not just a peck.
"!"
Yan Huan’s eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not refuse; instead, his gaze grew darker.
"Mmm!"
As if ignited by a match, after a few seconds, he completely erupted. Under Aria’s surprised gaze, he lifted her up by the waist and walked to the side.
As previously mentioned, the Hentai Club had a tatami area.
Underneath that tatami, there were storage cabinets, where Aria had once hidden books.
At this moment, Yan Huan was heading towards the tatami.
"Thud..."
Aria was already dizzy from the kiss, and now suddenly laid on the tatami, she hadn’t even processed it yet, only dumbly squinting her eyes.
