An awkward atmosphere had enveloped the two humans standing in the corner of the kitchen. Just a few seconds ago Evan made his wish.
"HUG! I WANT TO GET A HUG! DON'T IGNORE ME!" Evan's breath seemed to choke after he managed to say it. It was a relief, but as the words left his thin lips, Evan became utterly embarrassed.
'Stupid mouth! Manage your prestige!' Evan cursed himself. His body, which had always been sturdy and domineering, was now limp and seemed to give himself completely to Luci. Evan looked more like a prisoner than a king in that place.
"Ah, I forgot there was a good show this morning on TV." Luci also hummed clumsily. Her plump and full-body galloped away to get away from Evan, who at that time was still looking up arrogantly. Even though Evan's arrogance is used to cover up the shame he currently has.
Evan's body slumped on the floor when Luci was completely out of sight and disappeared into the TV room. He groaned in frustration.
"Why did I say all that? She could be overconfident at this. She must have thought I was the one after her. Haish!" Finally, Evan decided to follow Luci in the TV room, to restore his self-esteem that had fallen because he asked for a hug and attention first.
"Luckily I didn't miss a kiss earlier," Evan whispered. His wide and hasty steps came to a halt when he saw Luci giggling on the sofa. Then Evan's eyes turned to the TV.
"There are no funny scenes at all. Even what she saw was a sad scene from the Doraemon cartoon." Evan rubbed his chin in thought, sensed a lot of awkwardness here. "Wow, is she laughing at me? Damn it!"
A square-off has been done by Evan. The footrest is on the tip of the right foot. Two hands-on standby. Evan wanted to sprint to lunge at Luci so that she would know that a ÇEO king like Evan shouldn't be laughed at just for asking for a hug first.
"My pride! Wait, Daddy will come after you, son." Evan ran as fast as lightning. great movement and like a reliable professional runner.
His legs were bouncing and ready to step on Luci who had stopped giggling. But before he could reach the landing, Evan slipped and fell backward. His head hit the floor, along with his ass which had been crushed last night.
"Arghhhhhhhhh!" Evan groaned in endless slow motion. His moans were lengthy and wouldn't stop.
"Good grief, Master!" Luci immediately got up to help Evan who was still lying in an embarrassing position on the floor.
To be honest, Luci had also slipped on the floor earlier because of her careless and hasty walk. The floor could be slippery because this afternoon Luci had spilled something on it. If they walked slowly then the slip event would be very unlikely to happen.
It was because of the slip scene that Luci smiled to herself because at that time she also remembered the funny video she watched five days ago regarding the slip incident. So Luci wasn't giggling and laughing at Evan.
"Sorry, the floor is slippery and I haven't had time to mop. Shall I call a doctor?" Luci asked for help very sincerely. Besides that instead of facing Evan's explosive attitude, Luci would prefer to go out and see Hans at this time.
"No need! Get out of there!" Evan also jerked Luci's hand who was trying to help him. Although embarrassed, Evan still tried to cover it up. Besides that, another emotion ran through his heart again.
Every time Luci suggested calling someone who could get Evan out of Luci's flat, he would surely experience total anger because he felt like he was going to be dumped.
"You need treatment." Luci still didn't want to give up his sincere offer of help.
Luci darted to the kitchen and grabbed the mop there. Then the activity of mopping the floor had time to fill the silence between them.
"Do you need a warm bath?" Luci asked again after putting her mop in its original place. The floor was now non-slippery so it could not make other people slip again.
"No need!" short Evan. His eyes were on the TV while his hands were busy changing channels. Not sure what Evan wants to watch. He likes to play games. But if Luci was by his side his focus would probably disperse easily.
"You haven't showered yet have you?" Luci didn't mean anything, just reminded him. Cleanliness is important to maintaining a healthy body. Moreover, Evan's health is very expensive.
"I have a change of clothes for you. There's a t-shirt in my closet that looks like it fits you. Don't worry, I've never worn it before." Luci left without waiting for an answer from Evan in the slightest.
The shirt is black. One of Daniel's t-shirts at that time. It was given when Luci was sulking because Daniel never had free time for her. Therefore, to make her directly angry with him (instead of being silent and ignoring him), he also bought Luci a shirt with an XL size.
The goal is that she would scold Daniel later. Luci's nagging was something Daniel missed at that time.
"At that time I still didn't want to talk to you. But after that, we made it up and I forgot about this shirt. Now I'm going to start 'putting aside' anything about you," said Luci when she was in front of her closet. Luci reached for the t-shirt. Luckily she still remembers the position where it was stacked.
She returned to the TV room and handed Evan the t-shirt in her hand.
"Here, the label is still there. I haven't worn it at all." Luci showed the label on the shirt to show that her words were honest. The shirt had never been worn by her.
Evan didn't say anything at all. His face was still frozen with the TV on in front of him. Luci also put the shirt on the table.
"I'll prepare warm water. Don't sit on the far end of the couch. It is still wet." Luci raised her feet again to go to the kitchen and boil some water. Several times she thought about the idea of calling the doctor.
"Is the hip okay? What if he was paralyzed from falling here?" From time to time, Luci glanced at Evan who still didn't pay any attention to her.
For a moment Evan stared blankly at the TV in front of him. At that time the program was broadcasting gossip on top artists in the country. There's a gimmick scene under discussion. Evan should be anti about stuff like that. Usually, he will change the channel if something gossipy airs.
But his thoughts had already penetrated deep into his subconscious. He felt the warmth and comfort that Luci gave him. And this time Evan was bewitched by the little attention that Luci gave him.
"The warm water is ready. When do you want to take a shower?" Luci shouted from the kitchen as she turned off the stove.
Evan turned his head slowly. His eyes were weak and helpless. "If you keep doing this to me, I might fall into your arms later," Evan whispered in complete surrender.
