In the large room, it suddenly became so silent that you could hear a pin drop.
Vivian, hiding in the closet, and Ethan, standing outside with Liam Shaw, exchanged awkward glances, speechless.
Seeing the atmosphere get a bit tense and heavy, Vivian blinked and awkwardly raised her hand to greet Liam Shaw, “Hi…
hello.”
In the next second, Liam let go of the closet door handle and turned to Ethan in shock, saying, “You really hid a woman in the closet!?”
Ethan’s expression was a mix of embarrassment and discomfort.
He cleared his throat and, with his black deep eyes arrogantly glancing at Vivian, said in a cool voice, “Open your eyes wide and see clearly, does this count as a woman?!”
???
What??
Please, say that again, what part of me doesn’t count as a woman!?
Vivian couldn’t help but glare at Ethan after hearing what he said.
Liam, on the other hand, turned to look Vivian up and down, front and back, carefully sizing her up.
The young lady in front looked quite petite, with her fair and rosy doll-like face, her big round eyes looked especially clear, her nose was small and pert, her lips delicate and red, and with those rosy cheeks, hmm…
she looked about fifth or sixth grade at most, or maybe a middle schooler!
After sizing Vivian up, Liam thoughtfully nodded, saying, “Sorry, it was a bit dark in the closet, I didn’t see clearly, turns out you were hiding a, uh…
middle schooler in there?”
“You’re the middle schooler!” Vivian shot Liam an exasperated look.
Liam was slightly startled and quickly corrected himself, “Sorry, sorry, I was just guessing.
So, little sister, what grade are you in?”
“…”
Vivian took a deep breath and smiled slightly, “I’m in first year of university.”
“Oh, just in first year, huh?
Then you’d be considered tall for a first-year…” Liam said, suddenly coming to his senses, “What did you say!?
You’re in university!?
Not elementary school!?”
“Sorry to disappoint you.” Vivian kept her smile, internally reminding herself not to be petty with these high schoolers.
“Then you…
and Ethan…” Liam pointed at Vivian and then at Ethan beside him, looking confused, “What’s your relationship, why are you hiding in Ethan’s closet?”
“I’m his…” Vivian had just said four words when Liam interrupted, “Wait, I know!
This fine weekend afternoon, you two alone in the room, and as soon as I knocked, Ethan got scared and hid you in the closet, what does that say?
It shows Ethan’s scared I’ll find out your relationship, you’re his girlfriend, aren’t you!?”
“Girlfriend, what girlfriend!” Vivian frowned slightly, preparing to explain, but Liam suddenly spun around and tightly hugged Ethan, one long leg hooked up on Ethan’s waist, striking a charming pose, “Hmph, Ethan is mine, don’t think you can take him from me!”
