Chapter 156 An Unexpected Sound
The carriage swayed slightly with the undulations of the tracks, and Youzhu was almost completely immersed in that warm and faintly fragrant embrace.
The comforting temperature Arthur evoked in her had an irresistible allure.
"Ding-dong! We've arrived at Liyuan Station."
The crisp sound of the tram arriving at the station suddenly rang out, instantly shattering the slightly ambiguous moment.
Yuzhu snapped back to her senses, a hint of panic flashing across her fair face.
She quickly leaned back, using the action of adjusting her collar to forcefully suppress the turmoil surging within her.
The doors opened, and Arthur cleared a path through the crowd to escort Yu-joo out of the tram.
As I stepped out of the station, the chilly morning wind brushed against my face.
Yu-ju and Arthur walked side by side on the tree-lined path leading to the academy.
As they got closer to the Reiwon Girls' Academy, the number of students dressed in dark nun-style uniforms gradually increased.
As a prestigious, closed-off girls' school, the sudden appearance of a handsome, blond-haired, blue-eyed man with a tall and upright figure naturally attracted the curious and admiring gazes of the girls around him.
Just before reaching the long ramp leading to the main gate of the academy, Yuzhu stopped.
"That's enough for now." Yuzhu turned around.
"The Liyuan was a church school, and the guards and nuns were very strict in their checks."
Your appearance will definitely cause an unnecessary commotion and bring trouble to the school.
"I see."
Yuzhu nodded and reminded him again, "Remember my previous advice: after you've bought everything on the list, it's best to go straight back to the mansion and avoid causing trouble."
After saying that, she turned and merged into the crowd of female students.
Arthur stood quietly at the bottom of the slope until the black figure was completely obscured by the trees, then he turned and walked toward the nearby tram stop, heading toward the central business district of Misaki Town.
Half an hour later, at a large supermarket.
Arthur pushed the shopping cart, looking at the bustling scene before him with a sense of novelty.
The supermarket seemed to be holding some kind of "morning limited-time sale," with people crowding around the shelves with shopping baskets.
The moment Arthur stepped into the fresh food section, the surrounding air seemed to quiet down considerably.
If the gazes of the female students at Liyuan were like a gentle spring breeze, then the gazes of these certain ladies were like the blazing sun.
It was an undisguised fervor and admiration, even revealing a hint of the passion of sizing up prey.
A handsome young foreign man pushing a shopping cart was even more sought after than the Kobe beef on the shelf at half price.
Even Arthur, who was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper, couldn't help but feel a slight chill down his spine under such an aggressive gaze.
He subconsciously quickened his pace, using his exceptional agility to swiftly weave between the shelves, sweeping the beef, vegetables, milk, and other items on the shopping list into his cart.
"call……"
After finally dodging several ladies who tried to strike up a conversation by asking for things, Arthur pushed his overflowing shopping cart to the checkout area.
As he observed the customers in front of him and listened to the clicking sounds of the old-fashioned mechanical cash register, he breathed a sigh of relief.
A certain kind of "enthusiasm" in modern society was indeed hard for him to resist.
Just as he was quietly queuing, preparing to take out the ten thousand yuan banknote that Youzhu had given him, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
It was a girl's voice.
It sounded somewhat timid, even a little cautious.
"Excuse me, may I bother you...?"
The soft, sweet voice paused behind Arthur, seemingly trying to suppress its excitement and hesitation, before slowly uttering a name:
"Excuse me, are you...King Arthur Pendragon?"
