From morning to noon, and then from noon to afternoon, half a day had passed just like that.
During this time, Wang hadn't moved, and had been crouched in the corner for hours on end.
In this monotonous period, the moody young boy was always pondering a question:
"Where did that foolish woman go since she left the room in the early morning?"
The hand supporting his chin couldn't resist exerting pressure from the base of his finger, causing his mouth to bite down on his teeth, which were aligned in two rows.
He was like a pet who had thrown a tantrum at its owner and was subsequently ignored, fitting the phrase "gnashing one's teeth" perfectly.
"That foolish woman doesn't understand a man's heart at all! Doesn't she know that staying by my side and comforting me in that state in the morning is the correct choice?"
It was difficult to tell from the surface, but his cheeks were indeed puffed up, suggesting that they were filled with plenty of "flammable and explosive" gas.
"Foolish woman, I give you one minute to appear. If you don't appear and comfort me for two hours, I won't forgive you!"
This was self-talk, said by Wang twenty minutes after Cai left;
After three hours passed, the content of his words changed:
"I give you five minutes to appear. If you don't appear and comfort me for thirty minutes, I won't forgive you!"
By the time the sunset engulfed the daylight and was wrapped in darkness, Wang's attitude had completely softened:
"Fine, you win! I won't throw a tantrum unreasonably just because I'm in a bad mood. Come out quickly, and if you're hiding behind the door, come out and see me!"
Scratch scratch scratch scratch~
That was the sound of scratching the wall with short nails. Anyway, it was his own wall, so he didn't care if it got marked or damaged.
At some moment after the wall had suffered torture, Wang's earlobe twitched, and along with the hair that had been hanging down from his forehead, it straightened suddenly.
His ears caught a sound, like someone's footsteps gradually approaching.
Guessing the current situation based on the footsteps, Wang vaguely felt:
The person approaching this room probably doesn't weigh much;
But the slightly restrained mood made each step, which would normally not produce any sound, detrimental to the floor.
Wang thought of a possibility and turned his head, which hadn't moved in a long time, raising an eyebrow as he looked toward the entrance of the room.
What can attract a boy's gaze is often scenery that makes one's own eyes light up.
The aforementioned scenery can represent real scenery or be used to refer to a person.
At this moment, Cai stood stiffly at the door, slightly bending over with a timid smile on her face.
Currently, she was wearing a black and white maid outfit, with a headband on her head, which made her smile particularly cute;
In her fair and tender hands, she held a platter of fruit salad, accompanied by that comical expression, making it very appetizing.
Cai had made an effort!
Everything she was doing was related to the advice given by the harpy.
In terms of taste and understanding of clothing, Cai really couldn't compare to her "big sister" as she claimed;
And it wasn't until today that she learned that there was such a thing as a maid outfit in the world.
It wasn't easy to buy such a maid outfit!
Since the demon race couldn't easily approach the marketplace, Cai had selected this outfit after leaving the mountain and going to the nearby town.
But Cai didn't have money, so it was in the name of her "big sister" that the harpy borrowed funds from a dozen or so demons she happened to encounter, which could be considered as a "crowdfunding purchase."
It costs money, time, and effort, and has also made her shamelessly disregard her own dignity.
If it were the old her, she would never willingly create a dark history in front of the opposite sex, leaving herself with enough psychological shadows to last half a lifetime.
In other words, there has been a change in Cai's personality compared to before;
Changes that can be seen with the naked eye, such as through this piece of clothing.
Seeing the other person not speaking, Cai lowered her head, which she struggled to raise for a long time, and twirled the hem of her short skirt with her finger.
"Based on your perspective, is this outfit good? Will your mood improve after seeing it?"
"..."
"Don't be like this, say something."
Comparing Cai's current complexion, even the unpeeled lychee seemed inadequate.
"..."
"You can say anything, just don't stand there with your mouth open and not saying anything, it's so awkward."
"..."
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
Cai hugged her head and squatted on the ground in a similar manner to the other person, emitting a wail that had never been seen before, with even her headband slipping onto her face.
"Puh, puh puh, hahaha! Dealing with you, I'll never get tired! "
Today, Wang laughed for a long time with his hands on his stomach, and the laughter echoed from inside the room to outside.
And she heard it too.
Sitting on the branch of a big tree, with wings hanging over her knees, her legs crossed and intertwined.
"Little girl succeeded! At least when facing me, he can't make such a big laugh. Indeed... you are more suitable than I am."
Leaves fell from above, but the harpy didn't care and lay straight on the tree.
The wind blowing from all around was cool and comfortable.
