Chapter 155 foody girl, greedy girl and a silly girl
It was a lazy afternoon, and they decided to treat themselves to some burgers and fries. Kevin graciously offered to foot the bill, partly because he was a gentleman, and partly due to Riya's playful threat of giving him a hard time if he didn't.
"So, Natalie," Kevin asked, keeping it casual, "what's your major?"
"I'm into fashion design," she replied with a smile.
Kevin glanced at her outfit and nodded appreciatively, noticing that she didn't just wear her clothes; she styled them. "It suits you."
"I agree," Riya chimed in, giving Natalie a warm smile. "She dresses really well. Sometimes she even helps me with my outfits." Saying this a mischievously look flashed on her face and looking at Kevin with grin she continued "You know what we should do next? How about some shopping?"
Natalie's eyes lit up at the idea, but she feigned reluctance, saying, "But can we go shopping on our date?"
"No worries, Nate." Riya reassured him. "The reason I picked this mall in the first place was to dent this guy's wallet." She patted Kevin's back with a mischievous grin.
Kevin, his smile tinged with a hint of annoyance, replied, "Well, I guess it's all right. I could use some new clothes, too."
Natalie chimed in, her voice brimming with excitement. "In that case, I know a great store here. We should check it out after we eat."
Kevin nodded with a smile, though deep down, he was seething with frustration at his sister for making him foot the bill, considering he was pretty sure none of them could afford the meal they were enjoying.
However, looking at the bigger picture, he focused on his objective. If splurging some cash could earn him the company of two attractive women, it still seems like a good deal, and maybe he can buy a few gifts for his other friends two.
As Natalie and Riya delved deeper into a discussion about clothing and brands, Kevin simply offered occasional nods like a key who was caught up in her own world of bliss taking bites of food with eye closed.
"Is it good?" he inquired, watching her savor the burger with a contented expression.
"It's amazing," she replied, still lost in burger bliss. She blushed as she realized Kevin was watching her.
"Want some more?" Kevin asked with a warm smile.
She nodded eagerly at his suggestion, blushing once more and shaking her head.
Kevin chuckled at her reaction and said, "Alright, let's get you another one. Which one do you want this time?"
"Let me finish this one first," she replied, still blushing. With quick bites, she polished off the burger in her hand. Kevin looked at her in surprise, and as she finished, she smiled and said, "let's go."
Kevin, still kinda shocked at how quickly she wolfed down that burger with her tiny mouth, gave a nod. He turned to Riya and Natalie and asked, "You guys want anything else?"
Natalie and Riya both shook their heads and shot smiles at them.
Noticing that the others weren't interested in ordering more, Kevin turned his attention to Key, who seemed more eager. He asked, "Shall we go then? You into fast food?"
Heading toward the ordering area, Key shook her head and replied, "I'm into all kinds of food."
Kevin chuckled at her response and continued, "That's good. But, what's your absolute favorite out of them?"
She paused for a moment, deep in thought, and eventually replied, "It's tough to choose; Like I said, I enjoy all types of food."
Her shyness had completely disappeared when the conversation turned to food, and Natalie let out a sigh of relief. Despite her sister's brashness toward her, she was initially very shy and had trouble talking to strangers. However, once she got to know them, her more quirky side would emerge. 'Well, by then, we might have already had the cultivation technique,' Natalie thought with an excited smile as she glanced at Riya, who asked, "You think they'll hit it off?"
Natalie nodded and replied with a grin, "Yeah, I think so. Key can be pretty reserved at first, but when it comes to food, she's like an open book. Your brother seems to have that figured out."
"Really? That might be just what he needs," Riya said, sounding a bit worried as she remembered the jerking incident from the morning. With a sigh, she thought about her own frustrations. She looked at Natalie, slowly took her hand, and suggested, "If they hit it off, why don't we give them some space to enjoy their date and find a nice spot for some alone time?"
Natalie felt a bit uncomfortable with Riya holding her hand, but she knew that her patience would pay off soon, so she allowed it. Thinking about Riya's suggestion, she replied, "Sounds good. Let's split up after shopping."
She would have spilt up now but secretly, she didn't want to miss the opportunity to shop with someone else's money, and Riya, thinking that Natalie wanted to spend time with her, happily smiled.
"Did you talk about the cultivation technique with him?" Natalie inquired, observing Kevin and Key conversing and laughing.
"Yeah, I did. But he mentioned that we can't practice the one he's currently working on, so we'll have to wait until he gets a hold of another," Riya explained, sounding somewhat disheartened.
Natalie raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why couldn't we practice the one he's practicing?"
"I don't know, he said it was for only men or something," Riya said, taking a sip of her soda.
"I'm not sure; he mentioned it's for men only or something," Riya replied, sipping her soda.
Natalie pondered this for a moment and then asked, "What about the cultivation technique he promised to share with you? Did he mention anything about that?"
Riya nodded and answered, "Yeah, he said he'll try to get one in two months. He's heading out on some cultivation adventure, and he thinks he'll find one there."
Natalie nodded and remarked, "He seems to go on these adventures quite frequently, doesn't he?"
Riya confirmed with a nod, mentioning that he was departing on another one in just three days. She sounded a bit melancholic.
Natalie couldn't help but smirk inwardly, thinking, 'Why's she sad about him making a living? It's their way, and it's what counts. What a silly girl... If only he were my brother, I'd never let him wander to other women and only just on these adventures to get rich'. She scoffed inwardly, noting Riya's concern for her brother.
