I'm hateful?
Mono curled his lip. He was completely sacrificing for their livelihood, so how did he become hateful again?
But?
Six would actually show such an expression because of this.
For some reason, Mono didn't feel the slightest bit guilty. Instead, he found it interesting and inexplicably felt quite pleased.
After all, Six was jealous.
However, seeing the little person before him on the verge of reddening eyes, Mono still had to slowly suppress this inexplicable feeling of pleasure.
If he really made Six cry, that would be terrible.
After just a moment's hesitation...
"Ahem,"
Mono stood up straight,
suddenly took two steps forward again,
then,
under Six's gaze, slowly pulled down her hood, and then, slowly,
cupped her small face.
13...
(Three thousand words omitted...)
After a long while...
Mono finally slowly released her.
Little Six's face had already turned rosy; her breathing was also disorder, somewhat rapid. Mono watched silently, calm and certain, and slowly said:
"idiot... this is what's called a kiss, understand...?"
As his words fell, the pitch-black, misty eyes finally regained focus, but a flicker of slight panic flashed through.
Under these softly spoken words, her small head couldn't help but bury itself again.
After a long silence, only a soft, muffled hum of agreement came...
The earlier sense of wronged anger had somehow vanished to who knows where.
Mono shook his head and let out a long sigh.
It seems Six has completely fallen into his grasp... This really is a... most delightful thing!!
The Crispy Corners nearby had their eyes fixed on Mono and Little Six the entire time; they had witnessed everything that just happened.
Seeing Mono finally let go, they ran over again, hopping about incessantly.
Mono came back to his senses.
Looking at the Crispy Corners with their hands outstretched, he twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Hey, you guys, don't go too far!"
Again?
Wasn't that asking for his life?
There were at least a dozen Crispy Corners right now!
Seeming to understand Mono's words, the Crispy Corners slowly lowered their hands, hanging their heads as if somewhat disappointed.
Seeing this, Mono felt even more helpless.
Just how 'love'-starved were these Crispy Corners?
Was it necessary to act like this?
This was practically... identical to Six's earlier behavior.
Looking at these dejected Crispy Corners, he thought for a moment and shouted again:
"Of course, if you can lead me to the entrance to the upper level, then I promise you, I will..."
Hearing Mono's words, the Crispy Corners raised their heads again, as if inquiring, confirming.
Little Six also couldn't help but lift her head, which had been hanging low.
So Mono did that to find the exit... Her face suddenly felt hot again...
So Mono... didn't actually care about these guys...
And...
Mono's words just now echoed in her ears again... Her calm heart began to wander with wild thoughts once more...
Ignoring Six beside him, Mono affirmed again:
"Yes, you heard right. As long as you can find it, I'll give each of you a warm hug. What do you think?"
The Crispy Corners looked at each other, seemingly still hesitating.
Then, the one Mono had kicked—Xiao Bai—suddenly stepped forward, holding up two fingers.
Mono silently looked at it for a moment, then asked tentatively:
"You want two?"
The Crispy Corner shook its pointed head and nodded.
Seeing this, Mono was speechless.
Weren't these little things supposed to have low intelligence? So why were they bargaining?
The other Crispy Corners also came forward one after another, holding up two fingers.
Looking at these little white fingers waving before his eyes, Mono tugged at his hair:
"Alright, alright, two it is. Hurry up and lead the way..."
As long as he could find the exit to the upper level, a little sacrifice was nothing.
Besides, the Crispy Corners looked quite 'delicious.' 'Nibbling' on too many might be tiring, but it wouldn't cause any discomfort.
Hearing Mono's words, the Crispy Corners hopped and skipped down the coal slag pile, heading in a certain direction.
Turning back...
"idiot, come on... let's go..."
Mono walked over, took Six's hand, and followed.
