Hinari was surprised at Zaki’s sudden invitation. This man, who never once invited her out on a date for six long years, now actually saying this was just so damn unbelievable.

She froze in place upon hearing him and her eyes just blinked. The next moment, she lifted her hand and it landed on the man’s forehead. When she felt that his temperature was somehow higher than normal, she began to doubt him. She also finally noticed the sweat on his forehead and her shoulders dropped.

"Tsk, tsk. I almost fell for your trap again. If you are sick, you should at least just say it. Sigh..." she said and like a disappointed kitten she got off him. She pouted as she helped him up and she didn’t hide her depressed expression.

Seeing that she didn’t seem to believe what he told her, Zaki’s brows knotted. He was also confused as to why she said he was sick. Don’t tell me... did she notice?

"I... I’m not sick." Zaki immediately said and Hinari’s expression worsened. Somehow, Zaki felt anxious that she might have noticed his weakness but when she bumped her forehead to his, looking mad again, Zaki could only look at her in confusion.

magic "Beauty, you know what? You are really annoying and sometimes I want to really really strangle you in my loving arms. Be glad there is a soft spot in my heart for you even though you’re... sigh... why are you hiding your condition? Are you afraid I’ll take advantage of you while you’re in your weakened state? I’m not that evil you know? Sigh... my beauty, you really don’t have any trust in me, do you? Poor me..." Zaki’s mouth just hung open. He couldn’t comprehend what she was saying anymore. He looked even more confused than ever. This girl...

Somehow, seeing Hinari suddenly acting like a drama queen just after her seductive villain role a while ago made Zaki start to worry if Hinari was really alright. He thought that she’d been acting strange since she woke up. Did what happen last night affect her?

"Your temperature is high and you’re even sweating early in the morning so we should call a doctor for you." She continued as she stood when Zaki caught her wrist.

"I said I’m not sick." Zaki stopped her and Hinari’s forehead creased.

"You... do you really want me to strangle you?!" Hinari finally burst as some invisible puff of air came out of her nostrils.

"My temperature rose and I am sweating because of your teasing, do you understand?"

When Hinari heard him, she froze for a moment before she gasped. She pressed her lips tightly as she looked at him.

The next moment, she raised her hand and scratched her neck as she forced a laugh.

"Ehehehe... is that so? I’m glad then..." she said like a shy lady. But after a moment, her expression changed again and her lips curved up mischievously.

"Ohh... so my beauty’s body actually reacted, huh... Hmmm." She uttered as if she just heard a certain blissful news.

However, five seconds didn’t even pass yet when her expression changed again. She suddenly looked so shocked that she immediately bent down to look at him in the face.

"So, you mean... if you’re not sick, then you are serious with what you said just now? That we’re going out?!" she asked with her eyes opened wide. Her face was just so close to Zaki that the man could only nod at her.

As soon as Zaki nodded, Hinari gasped again, her eyes sparkled and then a sweet and wide smile carved on her face.

"Really? My beauty is inviting me out? Seriously?!"
