Chapter 399
Sunny was relieved to see that she did not take it to heart. Phew, that’s great! I’m glad you’re not angry with me. At least things won’t be so awkward between us that way!”
Corinne felt that the conversation was a pointless one, so she ignored him completely.
Sunny scratched the back of his head shyly and said, “I’ll be honest, Corinne. I… I’ve grown to like you now.”
Corinne paused while basting her chicken wings and then looked up at Sunny as if she just heard a joke. He was already blushing, but she was as calm as ever as she said, “Oh, thanks for liking me, I guess?”
Her indifference made Sunny frown unhappily. “Hey! What was that response?”
“How else am I supposed to respond?”
Corinne picked up the fan and fanned the charcoal fire to increase the heat. A little bit of char would go a long way to adding that extra bit of flavor!
Sunny was so angry that his cheeks were trembling. “What is wrong with you? I’m confessing my love to you right now!”
Corinne did not take him seriously at all. “Aren’t you doing that to help your sister deal with her love rival? Did you expect me to take it seriously?”
Sunny folded his arms arrogantly, and said honestly, “Well, I admit that it’s part of the reason, but the main reason isn’t because of my sister! My feelings for you have been a bit
different recently. I can’t explain what kind of feeling it is, but it’s special, and I don’t seem to hate you as much as before when I see you!”
Corinne chuckled.
‘Do high school students like them think that the equivalent of “I don’t hate you” is “I like you”? Tsk, tsk, tsk. Sunny, how many people are you going to like every single day? Are you going to like each person that you meet just because you don’t hate them?’
“Sunny,” a warm voice suddenly called out to him from behind.
He turned around and saw that his sister Anya had exited the villa, and he immediately began to worry about her. “Anya! Why’d you come out wearing so few clothes?”
Corinne was not very happy because she was worried that her wings might be ruined. “Do you even know how to grill these?
she asked, doubting him.
When Sunny’s kind gesture was met with her skeptical
expression, he emphasized, “I’m a pro! My classmates and I go barbecuing pretty often during the holidays, and everyone says that my grilled wings are the best!!”
Corinne finally backed away from her position and said, that so? Guess I’ll have the honor of trying your awesome barbecued wings today.”
“Is
Sunny was prepared to show his skills and make Corinne look at him with admiration.
At that moment, Anya suddenly came over and took Corinne’s arm affectionately. “You can leave it to Sunny. Let’s go to the small gazebo over there and have a chat. It’s about time you get some rest too!”
