Chapter 397: 397

397 A PEACEFUL DAY

Zuri looked beautiful in her knee length dress and her braided hair. It was the first time for her to braid her hair like this. In the past, she was simply used to cutting her hair or tying it into a messy bun above her head. While she was still with Anne, she didn’t really like it when someone touched her hair.

Zuri and Chaos promised to meet in the restaurant they visited yesterday and as she came to that place, she saw him waiting for her with flowers in his hand. It made Zuri laugh.

“Are they for me?” Zuri asked, she was not really fond of flowers, but she liked this surprise.

Chaos then handed the small bouquet of flowers to her and took her hand before they walked down this street.

People around them would take a second look, even a third look when they walked together, as their appearances grabbed people’s attention so fast.

It was not common for a man to have long hair like Chaos, while it was also weird for a young woman to have white hair like Zuri, yet both of them looked surreal, they looked like they stepped straight out of a beautiful painting.

Yet, the two of them didn’t really care about what people thought of them, as they walked hand in hand, with twin smiles on their faces.

People would start to think the two of them were a happy young couple that didn’t know the sufferings of the world, as they radiated utter happiness.

No one would have imagined what kind of road that they had to go through to get this small bit of happiness and peace, which wouldn’t last for long.

.....

“What did you bring?” Zuri asked, as she tilted her head to look at the picnic box that Chaos brought with him. It was a little bit funny to see him bringing something like that, especially knowing that they were going on a little picnic.

Gael and Knox would laugh their asses off if they knew about this.

Or maybe not Knox, because he would throw a disdainful look at Chaos for this...

“Food that you like,” Chaos replied lightly, as they walked out of the village and toward the row of trees that hid the vast meadow behind it.

“Do you know what food I like?” Zuri was surprised, she didn’t think that she had any favorite dishes or something, since she had never been a picky eater and moreover, she didn’t have a lot of choices if she didn’t want to starve.

“If you don’t like it, I will change it,” Chaos said simply.

Zuri forgot that Chaos could change the food with just a snap of his fingers. It was just a piece of cake for him. “You can’t say you brought food I like in that case,” Zuri complained.

The two of them walked toward the ancient tree, the tree was right in the middle of this meadow, standing proudly in the wind and looked standoffish if she could say.

“Do you remember this tree?” Zuri asked Chaos, she tilted her head to observe his reaction, but his expression was as stoic as usual.

“It feels familiar,” Chaos said, as they walked toward the tree, while holding Zuri’s hand. He felt like he knew this ancient tree, but he couldn’t pinpoint the memory of it. It almost felt like an old acquaintance that you had almost forgotten about.

The two of them came closer and then laid the mat that Chaos brought on the grass, as he started to take out the food from the picnic box.

“Did I tell you that you look beautiful?” Chaos asked casually, as he took out the food and then put them on the mat. Zuri helped him as well.

Zuri smiled when she heard that, but then she replied calmly. “You don’t need to say it, I know I am beautiful.”

Hearing that answer, Chaos laughed and for some reason, Zuri couldn’t help but laugh as well. She loved hearing him laughing, since it was something that rarely happened, yet recently, Chaos seemed to show more of his emotions.

“There are a lot of places, but why did you feel the need to have a picnic here?”

Zuri was startled a little when she suddenly heard a rough voice from behind her and instinctively turned her head around to look at the source of it.

It was the ancient tree, which had an old man’s face protruding from the surface of its bark, as he frowned deeply at both of them.

Meanwhile, Chaos didn’t seem to acknowledge him, as he took out the sandwiches and gave one to Zuri.

“I don’t think the people in the village know about you?” Zuri asked him, she furrowed her brows. Those people would freak out if they ever knew the tree could talk, right? “They don’t know that you can talk, right?”

The face on the tree scrunched, making him look like he was disgusted by the question. “Of course not, they thought I was just an old tree. What a clueless human...”

“Then you should act like one with us too,” Zuri retorted and then put her focus back on her picnic with Chaos, ignoring him completely, just like Chaos did.

“Hey!” the tree complained, as he rattled his branches which made dry leaves fall all over in their food. “You can’t treat me like that!”

“Shut up.” Chaos glanced at the tree with eyes filled with malice and that was enough to make him quiet down immediately.

“Ah! You trashed our food!” Zuri grumbled as she picked all the dry leaves from the food. “You can’t do this!” she groaned in irritation.

“Ugh!” The tree was about to complain again, but a glare from Chaos was all it needed to make him retreat, as he didn’t dare to show his face again.
