The next moment, Zhao Yang's AirPods glowed in red light, and something came out of the Airpods. The thing looked small, just like a piece of a puzzle. But then it quickly formed a futuristic eyeshield.
The eyeshield looked like it's made out of a hologram since it's a bit transparent, but somehow, it blocked the tear gas from touching Zhao Yang's eyes.
The moment the blue eyeshield appeared, Lai Jiayi's jaw dropped to the ground.
What...the…
WHAT THE HECK?!
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
What's happening?! Why–
Even Yaya had the same reaction. The duck looked at Zhao Yang as if he was an alien.
Yet, the CEO looked composed as if nothing happened even though smart glasses came out of nowhere like that.
This– what sh*t is this–
[Ahhh!! So Zhao Yang wears that kind of tool, quack?!] Yaya staggered. The duck turned on his gas detector and tracked the tear gas he released before.
The gas in the form of thick smoke was still lingering around Zhao Yang's eyes, but the eyeshield protected him from it. It completely blocked Zhao Yang's eyes from the gas.
There's not even a single gap for the gas to come through.
Lai Jiayi wobbled. The girl stared in a daze at Zhao Yang. The man looked slightly confused as he touched his blue transparent eyeshield.
[Yaya...what– what's going on. Why is he not crying? Did the gas not working, or– ]
'Because of those futuristic glasses?!'
[There's a tool that can detect 'harmful' gas, quack. And I think...Zhao Yang's AirPods had that function too, quack!] Yaya trembled as he watched the gas slowly disappear bit by bit, even though it was still there.
[?! Tool? What tool?! How the f*ck it can create glasses out of nowhere– ] Lai Jiayi stared dagger at Yaya as she peeked at Zhao Yang. The guy was simply checking something on his AirPods.
[The AirPods smart AI just released a certain chemical thing that can condense into a hard glass, quack!]
Yaya gulped. He looked at the glowing AirPods, and they still released a certain chemical.
Yaya's explanation was detailed, but Lai Jiayi only felt like her head was about to burst.
Chemical? Condense?
[What are you talking about?! What the– ]
[But since it's only made out of molecules or something, the glasses should disappear in a few minutes, quack! It's only an emergency glasses– ]
Yaya hadn't finished his speech when the autumn wind blew. It blew from behind Zhao Yang, charging toward Lai Jiayi's face.
If it were a normal day like usual, Yaya wouldn't care at all. But at this moment, the tear gas lingering around Zhao Yang's eyes were still there.
The moment the wind blew, the gas...got blown toward Lai Jiayi.
Lai Jiayi blinked. She didn't see the tear gas was already right in front of her eyes, thanks to the f*cking wind. The next second, the tear gas touched her eyes and…
The girl felt like something just burned both of her eyes. It was as if someone poured chili powder straight to her pupils.
!
"Waaah!!" Lai Jiayi shouted out of the blue, startling Zhao Yang. The guy had just dismissed the glasses around his eyes when he heard the girl's shout.
! What– what's going on?
Zhao Yang hurriedly looked at Lai Jiayi, and this...was the sight he saw.
The girl was blinking fast. Her whole eyes turned red, felt like burning. Lai Jiayi didn't know when, but tears suddenly poured out of her eyes.
Drip after drip of tears slid down her cheeks. The next thing she knew, she already started to sob.
"Uh...uh…hiksss…"
BA-THUMP.
Zhao Yang widened his eyes. His face turned pale, and a chill went down his spine. His feet froze, his palm suddenly sweats a lot.
'What...is this. Is she...crying?'
Zhao Yang had a blank look on his face. His heart kept beating fast, and it would occasionally throb.
The man wobbled. He almost fell to the back if not for his excellent balancing senses. Just when the guy was trying to keep his composure, a certain girl was shouting in her heart.
This– DAMN! IT HURTS A LOT!!! ┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`Д´)ノ︵ ┻━┻
The girl felt her eyes were itchy and hot at the same time that she's just about to rub her eyes when Yaya shouted,
[Jia!! Don't touch your eyes, quack!!] Yaya flew toward Lai Jiayi's place, still in his invisible mode. He was about to prevent Lai Jiayi from rubbing her eyes when….
Zhao Yang suddenly shoved his right arm to Lai Jiayi's eyes.
…???
The whole place went silent. Time seemed to stop, except for the wind. The wind kept blowing, yet the tear gas had wholly disappeared into nothingness.
Now, the wind only blew Lai Jiayi's hair. The girl's brown hair danced in the air in slow motion. The cold wind caressed Lai Jiayi's cheek, cooling it, but her eyes...were still burning.
Not only was it hot, but now, all the girl saw...was complete darkness.
...eh?
Lai Jiayi froze on the spot. The girl couldn't move at all, and the only thing she could sense was a certain someone's sleeve blocking her eyes.
"You– " Zhao Yang's voice suddenly rang near the girl's ears. His voice was a bit rough and hoarse, but one could sense a tinge of worry in his voice.
"Why– why are you crying– "
