There's Something I Want to Ask You (4,000 Words-Please Subscribe) (Continued)

William found it somewhat amusing to see Silvia like this.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with what I'm wearing, right? Aren't all the guys on the beach shirtless, just wearing swim trunks?"

"Haven't you ever been to the beach or a swimming pool?"

If it were a shy girl like Kirin on the other end, he would understand!

But he never expected that Silvia would become so shy just because of a man's chest!

"Of course I've been there! The problem is the occasion!"

"How can the outside be the same as the beach and swimming pool!"

Silvia sounded slightly angry, but that's precisely why she temporarily put her shyness aside!

"And the last time I went to the beach was when I was a child!"

"Ever since I grew up, I've only gone to the school pool, and there are never any men in it!"

After Silvia said that, William immediately shut up!

Upon careful consideration, the situation is indeed exactly as the girl described.

The girl came to Asterisk to live alone at the young age of thirteen, and quickly became popular after being admitted to the Queenvale Academy for Girls!

She probably doesn't have much free time to go out and have fun, especially given her status as a national idol.

If this happened on a beach, it would likely cause a stampede or something similar very quickly.

After all, no one would want to miss seeing the world's number one diva in a swimsuit.

"Is something the matter?"

William straightened his expression and steered the conversation back on track, asking Silvia a question.

The two exchanged contact numbers during the day after the awards ceremony.

Therefore, their relationship is at best that of ordinary acquaintances and friends.

Normally, people in this kind of relationship wouldn't call each other so late at night.

So, unless there's something urgent that needs to be discussed with him, there shouldn't be any other reason.

Cough! Cough!

Seeing that William had brought up serious matters, Silvia clenched her little fists and coughed twice.

Silvia was silent for a moment before speaking in a serious tone.

"William, your ability shouldn't be the one described in the data—the ability to manipulate lightning!"

Meanwhile, her eyes were constantly observing William's facial expressions!

She didn't know if asking this would anger William.

If her guess is true, then William must have a reason for choosing to hide his abilities.

It's hard for the other person not to be angry that she exposed the truth like that.

If she didn't have something urgent on her mind, she wouldn't have wanted to ask these questions to the man she was just beginning to have feelings for.

After a long while, even Silvia couldn't take it anymore and was about to apologize.

"From which detail did you discover that?"

William got up, took a can of drink from the refrigerator, unscrewed the cap, took a sip, and said with a smile in his eyes.

"I only realized it when I went back to review the battle!"

"The speed of your wings is simply too fast!"

"It's not difficult to create flying light wings using the ability to manipulate lightning!"

"But its speed is absolutely no match for the flight ability I created specifically using songs."

Silvia answered William cautiously, but when she finished telling him all her guesses, she found that William still had that same smiling expression.

"Um, aren't you angry?"

"What's there to be angry about!"

William took another sip of his drink, then raised his eyebrows and simultaneously lifted his other leg.

"But I've exposed the secret you were trying to hide!"

Seeing that William didn't seem angry at all, Silvia's tone became slightly more normal.

"Laugh--!"

William burst out laughing, then quickly waved his hand and shook his head.

"I never intended to hide any of that stuff. The way it's written in the manual is simply because that's all they can understand."

Silvia was completely stunned; her mouth was agape, forming a wide "O" shape.

"Then why did you remain silent for so long?!"

After a long while, Silvia finally spoke haltingly.

After Silvia suddenly asked the question, William remained silent for a few seconds before placing his drink on the table.

He lowered his left leg, which had been crossed, and interlaced his fingers, placing his handsome, angular face on the back of his hands.

This posture makes it look like someone is about to say something important.

Coincidentally, Silvia thought so too, so she quickly straightened her posture and assumed a listening position.

For this reason, William even specially changed his voice to a low, husky one.

"Because you looked so nervous just now, it seemed funny, and I just wanted to tease you like that!"

If William had to use an animal to describe Silvia, William could only think of a chameleon in nature.

His snow-white skin was turning red at an alarming rate.

Whether it was his imagination or not, William even felt that he could see an ominous black aura emanating from Silvia.

There seemed to be several # marks appearing on her forehead.
