Under the bright lights, two shadows stretched out diagonally, and vaguely they slowly drew closer and merged, like two lonely souls colliding with each other.
Vina was in turmoil, her heart pounding with anxiety. She instinctively took a half-step back, her Soul Power flowing unconsciously within her body.
Vina asked nervously, "You... you! You were following me?"
Huo Yuhao frowned as he looked at the veiled girl, puzzled. "Didn't you want a hamburger? Oh, okay then."
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao opened the hamburger wrapper, and the wonderful aroma of fried food wafted out, filling the nostrils and stimulating the taste buds of those around him.
Huo Yuhao took a bite of the hamburger and finished it off in no time. Then he reached into the paper bag in his pocket again.
Vina watched this scene with a huge question mark in her mind. What was going on? This Shrek student seemed unaware of her purpose.
The two probably just happened to meet.
With that in mind, Vina watched as Huo Yuhao opened another hamburger and started eating, and she lowered her guard.
But then she realized that because of her shout, everyone around her was staring at her with suspicious eyes. Under these gazes, Vina awkwardly covered her eyes and was forced to sit down next to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao looked at Vina sitting next to him, somewhat confused. He glanced at the paper bag in his hand, took out a hamburger and placed it next to her, then quietly moved to the far end of the bench.
Vina watched Huo Yuhao's actions and found them strangely adorable, and unconsciously covered her mouth and chuckled.
Huo Yuhao glanced at the woman who was laughing for no reason, but didn't want to pay her any attention. His gaze was fixed on the music store in the distance, where he saw Xiao Xiao and the others struggling to decide which instruments to buy, with the help of the shop assistant's explanation.
Vina looked at the Shrek Academy, wondering if she should try to get some information out of him, such as how many students Shrek Academy has now.
But then I thought about how it might be inappropriate to suddenly ask these questions, and I felt that my purpose was too obvious.
And so, the two sat somewhat awkwardly on the bench.
Vina racked her brains but couldn't come up with a reasonable way to greet them. After all, as a princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire, she wasn't good at dealing with people.
It could be said that Vina had actually come up with many plans in her mind, but when the original plan was in front of her, she became timid and dared not speak.
Normally she wouldn't act like this, but the thought of her mission as a spy made it impossible for her to do these ordinary little things.
Huo Yuhao sensed the complex emotional fluctuations of the girl beside him, and then glanced at the hamburger next to her, suddenly feeling a bit cheated.
The Slime behind her was itching to make a move, but just as it was about to act, Vina reached out and picked up a hamburger from the bench. Then, recalling how Huo Yuhao had just activated the method, she removed the veil from her face and took a bite of the hamburger.
A wonderful taste instantly filled Vina's mouth; it was a taste she had never experienced in the Heavenly Soul Empire.
Although this hamburger is also sold in the Heavenly Soul Empire, as a member of the royal family, she is particular about her diet, and this is the first time she has ever eaten it.
Vina quickly finished her hamburger, then looked longingly at the paper bag in Huo Yuhao's arms beside her.
Seeing Vina's eager eyes, Huo Yuhao gave in and had no choice but to place the paper bag between the two of them.
Vina immediately and familiarly took another hamburger from the paper bag, then whispered to Huo Yuhao, "Thank you for the hamburger, it's delicious."
"If you like, you can actually go and buy some yourself."
"I can't buy it."
"Then what are you doing here?"
"Actually, my parents are very strict with me. They don't let me eat these things. This is the first time I've ever eaten them."
"You're a very nice person. I was just thinking you were a stalker. I'm so sorry," Vina said to herself, her hands and mouth never stopping.
Before long, Huo Yuhao had eaten the hamburger in the paper bag completely.
Huo Yuhao stared at the empty paper bag, his lips twitching involuntarily. He hadn't expected that this well-dressed young girl would have managed to devour all of his stock.
"It's alright, as long as you're happy. If you want to eat it, you can just buy it from this shop next time."
Vina then noticed the empty paper bag and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, how about this, I'll give you the money, you name the amount."
As she spoke, Vina touched her pockets and the storage-type Soul Tool she carried, only to find that she hadn't brought her wallet.
She slapped her forehead, as if she had just remembered something, and said apologetically to Huo Yuhao, "I'm so sorry, I forgot my money at the hotel. You're a student at Shrek, right? I'll bring it to you tomorrow, is that alright?"
Seeing her sincere expression, Huo Yuhao didn't say much, so he simply put the trash into a paper bag and nodded.
Just then, Xiao Xiao and her friends finished buying their musical instruments and walked out of the store.
Huo Yuhao then threw away the trash and strode forward.
Xiao Xiao peeked at Vina behind Huo Yuhao and asked with a puzzled look, " Yuhao, do you know that person?"
Cui Yajie, seemingly enjoying the spectacle, exclaimed, "Wow, Huo, you're really something! You've already hooked up with another girl while just buying a hamburger." Cui Yajie then deliberately winked at him.
Wang Dong'er glared at her angrily and said, "You talk too much! You're just stirring up trouble!"
Then, Wang Dong'er changed the subject, smiling with narrowed eyes as she placed a hand on Huo Yuhao's shoulder and said softly, "So, Yuhao, do you know that girl?"
Huo Yuhao calmly looked at the women, then said, "She couldn't buy a hamburger, so she ate mine. I don't know her. She said she'll pay me back tomorrow."
Looking at Vina's attire and the unique aura she exuded, Ning Tian concluded, "She's probably here for tourism. Judging from her appearance, Yuhao definitely doesn't recognize her."
Ning Tian's words were quite credible, so Wang Dong'er took Huo Yuhao's arm and walked towards Shrek.
Xiao Xiao looked at Vina in the distance, her sixth sense subtly suggesting that their connection was not as simple as a chance encounter.
However, Xiao Xiao didn't think too much about it. After all, it was getting late, and Shrek's curfew wouldn't give you any leniency.
As Vina watched Huo Yuhao and the others disappear down the street, she was about to head back when she realized she had forgotten to ask the boy's name.
"Oh well, I'll find it sooner or later anyway."
With these thoughts in mind, Vina turned and walked towards the hotel.
However, what she didn't notice was that on the rooftop not far behind her, two dark figures had already set their sights on her.
