Chapter 41 A reason to smile
"Does Sei really doesn’t smile at all?"
Davi’s question was followed by a short silence. Well, it was simply because Zaki was quite speechless. He prepared himself for a hardcore question, only to end up hearing such randomly unexpected and seemingly silly question.
"That... that... that is your question?" he asked.
"Mm. I once asked the maids and Mr. Gou but they too said they haven’t seen him smile even once. Wait, what’s with that reaction? Don’t tell me that’s forbidden as well!"
"Huh? Of course not! Haha. I was just surprised. I never saw that coming." Zaki was laughing hard. Causing Davi to go quite impatient.
"Just answer me. We’re about to reach the entrance."
"Okay, okay... well, Sei is... how do I put this. Now that you mention it, I don’t even remember the last time he smiled – O-OUCH!"
Zaki playfully shouted in pain when Davi’s arm tightened again. This time, she seems serious to just strangle him for real if he still won’t let her hear the answer she’s looking for. Causing Zaki cracked up once again deep within. Seriously, this girl.
"Uh... please stop playing around. I answered you seriously!"
"Apologies, apologies. Okay this is it... hmm... well, he really doesn’t smile anymore. Well he does once in a blue moon, he has that terrifying
The girl nodded and Zaki took a slightly deep breath then he continued talking. "But well, seriously, of all the other questions, why his smile?"
"Because I know you can’t answer the questions I really wanted to ask. And I just really wanted to know, I want to see him smile... wait, please don’t distract me, and just answer me."
"Haha, okay, okay. here we go. As you know, he is always an impassive type. He appeared as though he was a beast who doesn’t really know how to react normally. Well, he does smiles once in a while back when we were kids but, yeah, it’s quite rare even as a kid... so It’s not really that surprising, I mean of course, there’s also some factors behind but I think..."
"Factors behind? Like what?"
"Er... that... that’s a dangerous question young miss, haha. But all I can say is, it’s not like he couldn’t, you can think of it like he just doesn’t have a reason to smile. But you don’t have to worry, I think sooner or later, you can eventually make him smile again."
Davi was speechless after his statement. So Zaki was curious about what kind of expression she’s been showing at the moment but too bad, he couldn’t see her face.
"A-are you not satisfied with my answer?" he asked.
"Obviously, I’m not. What’s with that so minimal explanation? I’m so curious about him, I know you know that."
"Haha. Well, be glad young miss. Your question was supposed to be answered with simply yes or no, you see?"
"You should be glad Mr. Chen, my question wasn’t supposed to be an easy one like that. I’m just thinking about your precious life; you see?"
Zaki could only laugh hard with the girl’s savage response as they approach the black car. And as soon as he opened its door, Zaki could only scratch his head because of the oozing coldness and sharp gazes being directed to him. Ugh. This one too. Haha. The two of them really are simply amusing.
