Why Is Your Face So Red?

"Too... too noisy!!!"

Li Xiaolang's face turned bright red as he scrambled up from the ground and dusted himself off.

Perhaps because he practiced Taoist arts, Li Xiaolang was remarkably tough.

If an ordinary child wearing these summer uniform shorts had suddenly taken a tumble while running at high speed, they would have at least scraped themselves bloody or ended up bruised.

Yet Li Xiaolang had only gotten a little dust on himself.

Having had the humiliating truth discovered—and by Adam, the bastard who had embarrassed him more than once—Li Xiaolang held back his anger and prepared to flee the scene as quickly as possible.

"Want to have lunch together?"

"Who wants to have lunch with you?!"

"Yukito will be eating with us too~"

"..."

"That big brother who makes you blush whenever you see him~"

"Y-You! Stop talking!"

A puff of steam seemed to rise from Li Xiaolang's head.

"So, are you going or not?"

"I... I'll go..."

As he led Li Xiaolang toward the food cart, Adam suddenly asked,

"Do you think what you feel for Yukito is real love?"

"W-Why are you bringing that up again?!"

Li Xiaolang's face, which had only just calmed down, immediately began heating up again.

"Sigh, children who haven't even begun to understand love are always so prone to mistaking their feelings."

Adam smiled at Li Xiaolang.

"Then do you like me?"

"What are you even... saying?"

Li Xiaolang couldn't help raising his head to glare at Adam. Yet the next moment, his pupils shook violently, and he raised a trembling hand to point at Adam.

"Y-You... you... you..."

Why? Why was his heart racing and his face burning? This attraction...

"What did you do to me?!"

Adam withdrew his magic power and winked at Li Xiaolang.

"I clearly didn't do anything."
