Reminiscence Chapter 9 (Kerrell) Stay with You (Part 2)

Su Cheng listened quietly to my cowardly speech.

I myself feel that my statement is quite cowardly.

Because I am afraid of being laughed at by others again, I don’t want to try more.

If I don't try more, my accent will not improve.

If your accent does not improve, you will be ridiculed by more people.

Although I know this is an endless cycle, I just don’t have the courage to break it.

After making this cowardly statement, I obediently waited for Su Cheng's scolding.

But there was no scolding from Su Cheng.

Instead, Su Cheng's helpless chuckle came.

"Kylor...what stupid things are you talking about..."

"Your Britannia language will make the listener feel uncomfortable."

"If your Britannia is unpleasant to the ears...then let me ask you - how did we chat together for how many hours before?"

"I am also a normal person. I have a lot of emotions that a normal human being should have."

"If the person I'm chatting with is someone who can't even speak well, I don't have the patience to chat leisurely with him for hours."

"Kylor, your accent is not unpleasant to the ear." Su Cheng said in a decisive tone.

Listening to Su Cheng's words, I buried my head silently.

"I understand everything you said..."

But I just feel scared…

I added this sentence silently in my mind.

…

…

“…even if you have a bad accent, there is no need to be ashamed.”

As soon as I finished speaking, Su Cheng's voice sounded above my head.

I slowly raised my head and met Su Cheng's eyes looking directly at me.

"I hope you can overcome every difficulty with your own efforts."

"If you are really scared, I will always be with you."

"With me accompanying you, you should feel more secure, right?"

"...I feel like I can't trust you."

I said angrily.

"You just played a trick on me."

"While I was trying to negotiate with the merchant, you sneaked away and left me alone - I feel like you are someone who would do such a thing."

I was teased by Su Cheng just now, which already made me feel a little bit shadowy.

"I wouldn't do such a bad thing..."

After sighing softly, Su Cheng continued:

"If you're afraid I'll sneak away without you... then do this."

As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, I felt something warm wrap up my right hand.

I screamed slightly, even though I lowered my head and looked at my right hand——

Su Cheng's left hand is tightly grasping my right hand.

"As long as we are connected together, you shouldn't be afraid that I will sneak away when you are not prepared, right?"

"Ah, wait……"

Before I could say a complete sentence, Su Cheng took my hand and walked quickly towards the business district.

…

…

Along the way, many people looked sideways or looked back at Su Cheng and me, who was holding hands with Su Cheng.

This is the first time I hold hands with someone of the opposite sex besides my father.

Originally, my face was already very red.

It made my face burn to be watched by so many people now.

"Um...Cheng..." I whispered to Su Cheng, "Many people are looking at us..."

"Well, yes."

Su Cheng nodded as if nothing had happened.

"I already feel many men looking at me with envy and jealousy."

"It feels a bit..."

After hearing my words, Su Cheng pondered for a while.

"That's right."

Su Cheng said in a solemn tone.

"It's really not good for strangers to watch us holding hands."

I thought Su Cheng was going to let go of my hand.

For some reason, when this idea first came to my mind, I felt a little...lost.

However - the next development of the situation was beyond my expectation.

Su Cheng held my hand tighter, and then put my hand and his own into his trouser pocket.

"That way, people can't see us shaking hands."

Because my hands were stuffed into Su Cheng's trouser pocket, I had to get closer to Su Cheng.

"Wait a moment!"

I held on to my red and hot cheeks.

"Wouldn't it be more conspicuous this way?"

Su Cheng turned his head.

Show me an intriguing smile.

"So - in order to get out of this high-profile situation as quickly as possible, let's finish today's practice quickly and go home."

…

…

Su Cheng showed his determination not to let go of my hand easily with his actions and attitude.

Forget it...if you don't let go, don't let go...

With this mentality of giving up the struggle, I allowed Su Cheng to stuff my hand into his trouser pocket and hold my hand tightly.

Oops... Su Cheng was holding my hand and stuffing it into his trouser pocket, and I felt that my hands were sweating...

Because I had given up struggling, all kinds of strange thoughts began to pop up.

"Cheng..." I asked Su Cheng in a cautious tone, "Are my hands a little sweaty...?"

"Hmm...it's okay. Apart from my hands feeling slippery now, I don't feel any discomfort."

“Doesn’t that mean my hands are sweaty?!”

"Where did you want to go?"

Su Cheng cast a strange look at me, as if asking me with his eyes - what stupid things are you talking about.

"The reason why my hands feel slippery is because your skin is very good, so it is slippery when you hold it. What does it have to do with your sweaty hands? And - where did your sweaty hands come from?"

"But I clearly feel that my hands are full of water now..."

"That's my sweaty hands. Not yours."

…

…

For some reason, he suddenly started chatting with Su Cheng.

I got so engrossed in the conversation that I almost forgot about today’s business.

It wasn't until he walked around the business district several times that Su Cheng said angrily:

"What are we doing? We came here today to help you correct your accent. Why are you just hanging out now..."

Su Cheng paused and asked me:

"How's it going? Have you come across any stores that interest you?"

"..." I said after thinking about it for a while, "I just saw a hat shop, and I am quite interested in the hats in it..."

"Okay! Let's go to that store then!"

…

…

Su Cheng led me into this hat shop.

As soon as he stepped through the door of the store, a middle-aged man who was probably the owner of the store came up to him with a smile on his face.

"Two guests, do you need any help?

The shopkeeper's Britannia was so standard that I almost screamed.

Su Cheng turned his head and cast an encouraging look at me.

With Su Cheng's silent encouragement, courage slowly emerged from my heart.

Unconsciously, he tightened the right hand still held by Su Cheng that was still in Su Cheng's trouser pocket.

Warm warmth spread from Su Cheng's palm to my palm.

This warmth flows along my palms and slowly flows into my heart.

It merged with the courage that just emerged from my heart and turned into an invisible force that spread throughout my body.
