《Philippine Lore》BK1; Chapter 22: [ A date... ]
Advertisement
At this time, Rain have finished showering and came out of the bathroom, seeing Louise in front of the computer and seemed quite serious, he raised his eyebrows and silently stood behind her.
“Oh, so someone finally found the first city.”
“Yes, it seemed so. Though I don’t kn—?!”
Hearing Rain’s voice behind her, Louise smiled. However, after turning around she froze.
Because in front of her, Louise could see her childhood friend’s godly figure.
Why was it godly?
Simple, because in Greek Mythology, the gods were not wearing any clothes, only pieces of cloth. And her beloved childhood friend in front of her has only the lower part had a bath towel around him.
Rain that had just finished bathing was using a towel to wipe dry his wet hair with one hand. He is wrapped in a bath towel but his upper body is bare like a gleaming hawthorn fruit .
His whole body is emitting the after bath sweet scent which is filling the air. In addition, a few sparkling and translucent crystal droplets of water from his dripping wet jet-black hair fall on his seemingly skinny yet strong chest and slide along the delicate skin all the way below …… →_→
Gulp, →_→
Louise subconsciously swallows back her saliva. She didn’t dare to look further anymore, as she was deeply shock by this sacred image.
She felt her blood boil; her mind was blank, while her pair of embarrassed eyes didn’t know where to look.
It was often said that a man who has taken a bath is the most lethal—- which is indeed true!
Looking at her crush after bathing figure, even someone with a thick skin like her, also cannot help but have her cheek burning hot!
However, her eyes continuously blinked, exposing the uneasiness of her heart.
Seeing this, Rain couldn’t help but curve his lips and was actually felt pleased secretly. Of course he noticed Louise embarrassed expression. They had already spent so much time together and so he had already become extremely familiar with her.
In order to take revenge on Louise for her past crimes, he purposely exaggerated his movements, sometimes even slowing his motions.
Taste my revenge! Hehe, this bro was also doing some gym you know~
Then, he slowly walked towards his bed and took the already prepared casual clothes. During this moment, he pretended that it was an accident and loosens a bit of the towel that was wrapping on his body.
His actions made the young girl’s heart rise again, and her cheeks, which were pretending to face another way, were red like a tomato.

He then once again glanced towards the dumbfounded Louise and used a laid-back expression staring at her.
“Is there something wrong?”
Woken by a rustling voice, Louise forced herself to look at him, “N … … N-Nothing……”
Oh my god! I was actually dumbstruck!? He’s not even as handsome as Papa P… Louise suddenly felt butterflies in her stomach.
For some reason, in her eyes, Rain’s messy wet hair look seemed sexy. His infinite black eyes under his hair and the seemingly soft indoor lighting which seemed to had a strange dark glow… even his Adam’s apple appears so nice… …
Gulp!
——beautiful enough to feast the eyes!
“Ok.”
Satisfied by her reaction, Rain returned to the bathroom to change. In his lips wear a soft faint smile.
—This round, is my victory~
— —
When Louise closed the door, for her amazement she suddenly saw Rain wearing black colored casual clothes, riding a bike that is parked just behind her. His well-proportion slender fingers are on the handlebar. His shiny dark eyes are directed at her.
Rain was stepping on one foot to the ground and said: “Get on.”
Get on? In the bike?
Louise rubbed her eyes and finally couldn’t help but ask: “Wait, where…. where is your car?”
Rain smiled and pointed to the bike he was riding: “Isn’t it here?”
“…..” Louise was speechless, she didn’t think Rain would use such an interesting way to start their date …no, this isn’t a date!
“Ding …” A string of pleasing bell sound rings. Rain looks at her with a faint smile, “Hey. What are you waiting for? Get on the bike.”
The dumbfounded Louise couldn’t help but lament, a bike… date?! Is that romantic? But even so, right now…
—Skirt, she was currently wearing a skirt!
This fact pulled Louise soul instantly back into her body.
Looked at the bike, looked at Rain. Louise started stammering; “This, this, I … …”
“What?” Rain frowned slightly.
Louise focused, “… … I’m riding with you, on the bike?”
“Yes”
“This, this isn’t very fitting, is it. My skirt…” Louise tried to tactfully refuse, her ears started to turn red.
“Skirt?”
Did he still not understand? Louise was reduced to forcing herself to explain clearly, “Right now … I’m wearing a skirt so if I rode the bike then the wind will blow it away…”
Rain silently stared at her and didn’t speak. Louise started to get nervous … … she didn’t say anything wrong, did she?

Just as she started to get even more nervous, finally, and with a smile Rain slowly spoke: “Its fine. I have my jacket, wrapped it around your waist. That should be fine.”
Uh. That can’t be …
“Why can’t we just use the car instead?”
“Eco-friendly.”
Ugh… Rain, oh my Rain…
How can you be a nature lover all of a sudden?!
Hearing his reason, Louise couldn’t help but frowned. However, she suddenly realized something.
If we use a car, then we can sit side by side. Indeed, that’s quite good. But if we use the bike, I can … hug him without embarrassing myself, right?
After a long while, emotions surged up from the bottom of the heart. Complicated and extreme feelings arose.
But coming back to it, her initial position was to sit beside him. Now that she can hug him with the bike as a reason, if she didn’t accept, didn’t she lose that way?
Accepting was a great loss, not accepting was also a great loss. This was … …
Louise tried to brainwash herself, not realizing her ears were going up in flames.
She pretended to be composed and met Rain’s gaze: “Since there isn’t enough time, let’s bike then.”
Steeling herself, she got onto the bike. She pats on his back and say, “Let’s go. We can leave now.”
But then, without feeling any special feelings, she started to regret it. Because she just realized, if I hug him suddenly … he wouldn’t think that I was taking advantage… right?
Ha…really, as they say ‘Women in love is troublesome. They are creatures difficult to understand.’
Sitting behind the bike, Louise started to feel uneasy. She was afraid she’ll accidentally fall down, but she also didn’t dare to reach out to embrace Rain’s waist. What should I do?
When Rain step on the pedal, he suddenly noticed something and couldn’t help but tilts his head slightly, “Your hands.”
Louise body jerks slightly. “What about my hands?”
“The way I ride the bike isn’t very stable. Now that I put it this way, you understand what I mean, right?”
Hearing his words, Louise lowered her head and nod. She then stretched out her hand and grasps the hem of his sweater, carefully clinging onto into it.
Rain frowned but didn’t say anything anymore. Louise might have been feeling embarrassed but he couldn’t do anything about it. He can’t just say that the car’s engine malfunction because he mistook the cola he was drinking a while ago for the engine oil, and thus, couldn’t be used.
Well, this is fine. Eco-friendly~
The bike moves forward unhurriedly, as the trees on the side of the street retreat. Accompanied by the gentle breeze by her ears and the sunlight from above, and the gentle warmth gradually soften and lift her mood, causing her to become a lot more relaxed.
Suddenly, Rain said: “Hold on tight, there’s a downhill approaching.”
Before Louise could react, the bike jolted and sped down the slope.
“Ah!”
The frighten Louise anxiously embraced Rain’s waist and even tightened her grip on it.
Speeding down the slope, the speed accelerated, the bike became slightly unstable, riding in an S shape pattern.
Louise was so scared that her heart almost jumped out of her throats, “Be careful!”
“I know~” Rain answered calmly.
“….”
Louise couldn’t resist, and closed her eyes. She didn’t know whether it was psychological reaction, but she continued to embrace Rain’s waist, her face was glued onto his back, her heart suddenly felt a sense of security and her nervous tension was so strain.
And because she had her eyes closed while tightly holding onto his waist, she also didn’t know when the road became to feel smooth once again. When slowly opened her eyes, as expected a smooth road appeared in her vision.
“!?”
Then, finally she noticed her two hands tightly embracing the young man’s waist.
Rain’s clothes emanate a light fragrance of a pleasant clean smell. She cannot help lowering his head, resting her face lightly on his back once again. She then feels that he leans his head a bit and looks at her unconsciously for a brief moment. Then he continues to focus on riding the bicycle.
At that instant, she found that the corner of his mouth had curved up slightly and in the eyes that were looking at here, there seemed to be a hint of laughter.
