"Thank you!" Ayla exclaimed, hugging Yuchen before adding an apology. "And I'm sorry for reacting that way earlier."
"It's alright, Ayla." Yuchen petted her hair softly.
She then glanced at Sylvia, who was still smiling cutely as she looked at the gift from Cain. "Sylvia, would you like another one too?"
Sylvia covered her mouth with a playful giggle. "If all it costs me is a hug, then I'd gladly accept."
"Of course." Yuchen spread her other arm in invitation.
Sylvia directly came and hugged her too, making the others smile as they watched the rare warm interaction before their eyes.
Once the embrace ended, Yuchen handed an additional vial to Ayla. "This is for the two of you. If you ever need more, just come and see me, alright?"
Both Ayla and Sylvia accepted the new medicinal liquid with eager gratitude.
'Tch, why am I jealous of someone receiving hugs from two little girls over some cheap liquid medicine?' Garran clicked his tongue as he thought to himself.
Garran unknowingly longs for such a genuine feeling that he felt from both the little girls as most of the people or even kids that met him always acted 'kindly' towards him because of his status and not because of himself.
Nudging on Butler Zen, Garran asked as he raised an eyebrow. "Do you by any chance keep a few of those vials yourself?"
Butler Zen glanced at him, looking at his body from top to bottom as if to see if there was something weird before answering him with a chuckle. "Why would I bother holding on to such useless things?"
"Seriously, you're no help at all." Garran said in annoyance before looking at Cain and gave him a cold stare by opening his eyes wildly.
Cain, noticing Garran's sudden scrutiny, frowned in confusion. He had no idea why Garran was glaring at him out of the blue.
Garran responded by raising his eyebrows and shifted his attention at the vials in the little girls' hand before looking at Cain again and moved his head up slightly as if signalling him if he had more of them.
Cain knitted his eyebrows, thinking what the hell was this guy implying and after thinking about it for more than a second, he shook his head helplessly.
Since Cain didn't want to embarrass Garran as he had pitted him to treat two little girls, he responded back by raising an eyebrow as if asking him with "How many do you need?"
Garran smiled and felt grateful when he looked at Cain, who seemingly knew what he was implying. Raising two of his fingers as if replying to him with "I only need two."
Cain then placed two of the liquid medicines in a spatial ring before flicking the ring, shooting it at Garran at a fast speed that unless you're as strong as them, you wouldn't notice it.
Naturally most of them noticed it and looked at Garran with a confused expression unlike Butler Zen, who was sitting beside him and shook his head when he watched Garran's unusual behavior.
Garran immediately put the ring into his own spatial ring and acted like nothing happened as he shifted his attention, looking at the stage and ignoring the stares from many people in the room.
After a minute or two when no one was staring at him again, Garran coughed twice as he took out two liquid medicines in his hands playfully. "Hmm, what should I do with these worthless potions? I certainly don't have any use for them. Maybe I'll just throw them away?"
Ayla tilted her head directly when she heard someone mention liquid medicines. When she saw the vials in Garran's hands were the same as Cain's, she unconsciously shouted. "Don't!"
Hearing the shout, Garran glanced at Ayla in Yuchen's arms and asked her with a chuckle. "Why not?"
"It'd be such a waste! Why don't you give them to me and big sis Sylvia?" Ayla gave a suggestion as her eyes were lit up, looking at the vials in Garran's hands.
"And what do I get in return?" Garran asked teasingly with a smug expression.
How about another hug, just like before? Hehe…" Ayla asked with a giggle, cute expression as she hoped that Garran would agree.
"Tch, fine by me since I'm in a good mood today." Garran clicked his tongue, showing quite a bit of displeased expression as if he was at a loss with this.
"Yeay!" Ayla immediately became happy when Garran accepted it as she was just trying her luck.
"Thank you, Big Brother Garran!" Ayla thanked him while hugging him tightly. Sylvia also followed Ayla along as she came and hugged him.
Garran smiled widely, petting the two little girls in his arms as he thought that it was a win for him since he could be happy with spending this cheaply.
"This is definitely going to be major gossip on campus as it looks like we have a classic 'tsundere' amongst ourselves." Yuchen chuckled, understanding what happened with the thrown ring previously.
Garran's smile immediately disappeared when he heard it, as he gave a cold glare at Yuchen and snorted. "Hmmph! Try it if you want your countless admirers to flock to Cain at once." Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire
"You dare!" Yuchen slapped the table, thinking that it might have pissed Cain off with the potential 'flies' coming to him continuously in the future if Garran really spread the news.
"Let's see whether I dare or not," Garran chuckled as he continued petting the little girls, who were happily playing with their three liquid medicines in their hands each.
"Young Master Garran, you'd be wise not to spread any rumors if you want to avoid placing your family in the gravest crisis it's ever faced." Old Feng chimed in, glancing at Garran and shook his head calmly.
Garran frowned, thinking for a second before guessing that it must have something to do with Cain as he was also curious why Yuchen treated him with a great respect that Cain shouldn't receive in the first place.
