MY FOOD LOOKS TO BE VERY CUTE
CHAPTER 3 - PLEASE TAKE ME
Maybe because of the pressure or because
curious, finally Maria and Xiao Lan walked up to him. Apparently, the woman took him to the diner. The woman asked them to sit at a dining table some distance away from the buyers. He also said to wait a while because he would order a menu of food and drinks. Maria who heard it, was immediately surprised, she was about to walk after him. But he had yet to take a step, suddenly his hand was pulled by Xiao Lan. Seeing this, Maria was surprised. He turned around and looked at Xiao Lan. Realizing that Maria's gaze was on him, Xiao Lan asked.
"Where do you want to go, Maria?"
"I want to follow him. Why are you holding back my steps?"
"Didn't you hear what he just said? Didn't he ask us to sit and wait for him?"
"But I just want to follow him. I think he has bad intentions towards us. I just follow him. There's nothing else! So, can you please let go of my hand?"
"No! You can't go anywhere. Now, follow me. We're gonna sit at a table a little far from the buyers"
"But...
Unable to allow Maria to finish her words, Xiao Lan immediately pulled her hand towards the table she had chosen. Maria tried to have Xiao Lan release her hand, unfortunately, Xiao Lan did not listen to her.
The girl walked among the buyers while holding Maria's hand. They finally arrived at one of the tables covered in cloth. Xiao Lan walked into as well as the Maria that Xiao Lan had drawn in.
Xiao Lan stepped forward and sat by the window facing directly towards the highway as well as Maria. Himself sitting beside him. No conversation was heard between them until the woman came to bring various types of food and drinks. Seeing him had come, making the atmosphere become silent no conversation was heard between the three of them.
"......"
"......"
"......"
Realizing the quiet atmosphere, Maria tried asking something, "Actually, who are you?" He asked while folding both hands.
Hearing Maria's question, the woman introduced herself, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Qin Yu. I am a novelist and also... A witch" he said, introducing himself. It turned out that the name of the woman was Qin Yu.
*deg's... Degs.... Degs...
Bak was struck by lightning, Maria and Xiao Lan were shocked to find out that the woman before them was a witch. Moreover, Xiao Lan. He who heard it, was immediately shocked. He got up from his seat, and asked about what Qin Yu said.
"A witch?! Are you the witch who made the protective layer in the village?? You're our protector?!" Ask. The voice sounded very loud as he said it.
"protective coating? Are you the werewolf in the village?" Her speech. Initially Qin Yu did not understand what Xiao Lan meant, but, upon hearing the 'Protective Layer' instantly made himself understand the girl's words.
"Really! My name is Xiao Lan! May I call you Qin Yu's brother?"
"Can. Then, I call you Xiao Lan"
"OK!"
"..."
The atmosphere that had once seemed tense from a question, instantly turned into a happy laugh. It happened, when Xiao Lan introduced herself to Qin Yu. Mary who heard it, chose to be quiet and did not want to interfere. Because for him it was boring.
After getting acquainted and shaking hands with each other, Qin Yu let go of his hand and asked him something.
"I have one question, Why are you half a werewolf? I've never even seen you in the village before"
"..."
Xiao Lan who heard it, instantly fell silent and turned her head to look at Maria with a hard to interpret gaze. Qin Yu who saw the girl looked at Maria, felt bad, because of her words.
"I'm sorry, I don't think I should have asked this" she said as she realized Maria was beside Xiao Lan.
Maria who was initially speechless heard their conversation, immediately put on a question mark face when she saw Xiao Lan and Qin Yu's gaze aimed at her, "Hm? Why are they both looking at me?"
"It doesn't matter if I'm not fully a werewolf from birth. For the sake of the werewolf village not being exposed, the villagers asked me to stay at the school that was some distance away from the village. You don't need to hesitate so" Xiao Lan answered Qin Yu's question while reclining herself. He did not want Qin Yu to feel guilty just for not being aware of Maria.
"Oh.. true too. You obviously look cute. So the residents take you to school so that those who visit can't find you.. How could I not remember you. Hahaha" Praise Qin Yu to Xiao Lan.
Hearing Qin Yu's words, Xiao Lan and Maria put on different faces. Xiao Lan put on a happy face hearing someone say she is cute. Although Maria also had time to say the same thing (Read chapter 2). Maria put on a sour face. He doesn't like being praised.
As Qin Yu's gaze turned towards Maria, he accidentally saw her sour face. Not wanting any misunderstandings, Qin Yu asked his name, "Ah, I'm sorry for ignoring you. If I may know, what's your name?"
"Mary" she answered. A short, clear and solid answer spoken by him.
"......"
"......"
Qin Yu and Xiao Lan instantly fell silent when they heard Maria mention her name. Qin Yu who heard it, immediately said something that made Maria Upset and emotionless, "You also look cute, yes"
"What?! You want to get hit, huh?!"
Xiao Lan who saw Maria's emotions, immediately laughed out loud, "Ha ha ha"
Seeing Maria who looked annoyed, made Qin Yu b break out in a cold sweat. As much as possible he explained calmly despite the fear, "There is no need to be too wary of me. I didn't come to get into trouble"
"Huh? Then why are you trying to stop me?"
At the end of the words, Maria's conscious sign gave off her dark aura marked with anger and asked for an explanation.
Seeing the dark aura Maria exuded, made Qin Yu break out in a cold sweat. Without any more time, he explained, "If you do, you will get into trouble. Now the news is fast spreading and there may be someone who will catch you" he explained.
Instead of listening to Qin Yu's explanation, Maria cornered him, "Though it was, for me witches like you were my enemies. Even from a long time ago I was hunted down and killed" he said. Again, a dark aura burst out from his body.
Qin Yu now understood, the reason Maria was acting so wary was because of a tragedy that befell the vampire nation, excluding her clan. Hearing her explanation, Qin Yu tried to calm her down, "Regarding that, you don't have to worry"
"Huh?! Whatchu mean?"
"For a long time, not a single vampire has appeared in the past few years. Because of that, I no longer studied fighting magic anymore. Besides, you are Xiao Lan's friend, aren't you? Based on that, I won't hurt you"
"... Alright.... I trust you..." Maria Say.
Unknowingly, his face flushed red upon hearing Qin Yu say 'Friends'. It seemed, this was the first time, Maria heard someone say she was friends with Xiao Lan. Qin Yu looked at Maria. Accidentally, Qin Yu caught something.
Hoho~ Looks like I found something interesting~" Her inner.
Finally the three of them spoke freely without any hesitation. Seen, Xiao Lan was so greedy to eat the food ordered so instead, Qin Yu also enjoyed the food. Unlike Maria, she is not interested in tasting the food that has been served. Not because the food he ate was blood. A vampire eats/drinks only blood. So that's why, Maria refused to taste it.
While enjoying the food, Qin Yu asked the question, "Oh yes, have you found a place to stay?"
"Not yet" a short answer uttered by Mary.
Hearing Maria's words, made Qin Yu raise his eyebrows, "You're joking, yes..."
Nah! I'm serious"
"..."
In the end, Qin Yu chose silence and continued eating his food back.
The atmosphere was calm again, which sounded only forks and spoons clashing. Seeing the calm atmosphere without anyone talking, Maria asked.
"Hm... I'd like to ask. What year is it now?"
"In 2020" Qin Yu replied as he chewed his food.
"... Looks like I've been asleep for 200 years.... I always thought it was only 100 years"
".....?"
".....?"
Qin Yu and Xiao Lan who heard it, were surprised instead of playing. The food they eat comes out of their mouths. If only, they did not hold it, maybe the table they occupied would be filled with a variety of scattered food. Maria who saw the surprised expression of the two of them, finally explained briefly.
"I know because I read the minds of passers-by. After all, I learned Mandarin that way. On the issue of residence...
"Will you stay at my place? I live alone and happen to have an empty room! If we stay together, you guys can help with my homework and work" Qin Yu said with sparkling eyes.
Hearing Qin Yu's words, Xiao Lan was immediately excited, "Ok! We are happy to help!"
After obtaining Xiao Lan's approval, Qin Yu immediately stood up and walked out, "Fine.since you guys have already agreed, I will go out and pay for all the food that has already been ordered. Xiao Lan, eat slowly"
"OK, okay!"
After Qin Yu's departure, Maria asked a question, "Will there be no problem if we just agree?"
"No way!"
"Why are you so sure? What's your excuse?"
"My reason, because he's good. I don't see any ill intentions from him. Never mind, just follow" She said as she chewed her delayed food.
".... Living with a witch...." In the end, Maria could only curse in her heart upon hearing Xiao Lan's words and chose to be quiet. Xiao Lan, who was chewing food, suddenly approached Maria. The distance can be said to be very close, because they sit on the side. Maria who saw it, immediately rewinded a little as a reflex of surprise.
Xiao Lan was puzzled to see Maria regressing her body. Instead of asking, he was getting closer. As he got closer, he asked, "Why are you quiet? Are you hungry? If you are hungry, this is eat~" he said as he extended his hand.
Maria looked at Xiao Lan with a face that blushed in embarrassment. With her face flushed red, she looked at him with a deep look, "This girl....."
Without asking for Maria's approval, Xiao Lan directly injured her wrist and extended it to the front of her mouth cavity. Mary, who smelled blood, instantly turned wild. He immediately drank the blood that kept flowing from Xiao Lan's wrist.
Along with that, there was the sound of someone entering.
That person was none other than Qin Yu. Upon entering, he accidentally saw Maria drinking Xiao lan's blood. Because of that, he immediately made himself vomit blood as a result of surprise.
