Chapter 621 You’re Hot, I Guess?
I had never taken a tram before but had seen pictures online. The one we took was sky blue in color,and it was not crowded. Colin sat down and hugged his suitcase contentedly while Ezekiel sat silentlybeside me.
The tram was moving slowly, but the scenery along the way was beautiful. After sitting for a while, mylegs began to feel sore, so I walked inside the tram.
Ezekiel noticed and asked with concern, "How are your legs, miss?"
"They're fine. Just sore."
He patted the seat next to him and said, "Come over here and sit down. I'll help relieve your soreness."
I asked instinctively, "How?"
He replied seriously, "With massage."
After hearing his reply, I quickly declined. "No need to trouble yourself. I'll just walk around a bit. Thankyou for offering."
"Miss, you don't have to be courteous. I used to be a doctor and know how to care for patients.Besides, we still have a long way to go, and you won't be able to bear it if you continue being stubbornlike this."
He has a point.
Colin couldn't stand to see me being hesitant and scolded, "Why are you hesitating? What Mike said isright. It will be a long journey in the village. We'll have to walk for another hour or two later. Besides, it's
just a massage. You're acting like he asked to sleep with you..."
Ezekiel's indifferent gaze fell on Colin, and the latter wisely shut his mouth. I reluctantly sat down andsaid, "Sorry for the trouble."
Ezekiel stood up and squatted in front of me. My legs were exposed since it was summer, and I waswearing a short skirt. Suddenly, he took a handkerchief from his pocket, placed it on my skin, andstarted to massage my leg. When I saw this, a pang of pain pierced through my heart.
Ezekiel… was being too cautious.
Colin saw what Ezekiel did, and his eyes widened. He wanted to say something but dared not speaksince it was Ezekiel. He just sighed repeatedly, "Unbelievable!"
I asked him, "What are you sighing about?"
"It's nothing. Don't mind me," Colin replied.
Ezekiel noticed our interaction and gently said, "It's just etiquette."
His tone was calm and indifferent.
I lowered my head and asked him, "Have you been a doctor for a long time?"
"Just a few years," Ezekiel replied.
"You said you had multiple professions."
Ezekiel's massage skill was on point, and my legs felt especially relaxed under his touch. He hummedin response, "Yes. I was forced to by certain circumstances, but neither of them lasted for long."
"Oh."
He didn't say anything else. After massaging me for half an hour, he had me stand up and take a fewsteps. I found that most of the soreness had disappeared and quickly thanked him.
It seemed like I was always thanking him.
"It's nothing to fuss over. You're welcome."
We changed a few trams on the way, and it was almost evening by the time we arrived in the village.The place was bustling with people.
And most of them were dressed in traditional attire.
Colin pulled his luggage and said, "Let's replace a local and borrow a room to change. You guys can doyour thing, and I'll do mine. Don't worry. I'll take you to the shrine before I leave."
I reluctantly asked, "Do we really have to change?"
"It's better to show sincerity when entering the shrine. Besides, changing won't take up too much time.Stop dragging your feet and hurry up."
Colin left us for two minutes and found a local who was willing to lend us a room to change. He cameout wearing his traditional attire and said, "Do I look hot? You guys should change too!"
Colin's attire was light purple with tree leaf patterns embroidered on top. The outer garment was black,and he looked imposing in it, but he wasn't exactly handsome.
Perhaps it was because he was a foreigner, and the outfit looked odd on him, or maybe he just wasn'tmy type!
I replied to him honestly, "I guess..."
Colin's expression suddenly changed. "Shawn taught me that phrase in English. Do you think I don'tunderstand what you meant?"
I sighed. "You're extremely handsome!"
Hearing this, he finally smiled satisfactorily.
Ezekiel asked me to change first. When I saw a black and red kimono in the luggage, I opened thedoor and asked Colin, "Which one is mine?"
"The black one with cherry blossoms."
I closed the door and squatted down to get a better look. The black kimono was covered with pinkcherry blossoms, which gave it a pop of color and an elegant look. The bright color of the cherryblossom was balanced by the black kimono. Then, I picked up the red one and examined it closely.
It was embroidered with various intricate, delicate flowers, and strangely, the sleeves were still blackwith more intricate flowers embroidered on them as well. Was this Zeke's?
I didn't know how to wear the kimono and reluctantly put it on before opening the door, sayinghelplessly, "Colin, I don't know how to wear it."
However, Ezekiel was the only one at the door.
I asked in surprise, "Where's Colin?"
"He's waiting for us over there," Ezekiel replied.
He entered the room and said, "Let me help you, Ms. Felix."
He tied the sash for me and said, "The hem of your inner garment is only up to your knees. That's Colinfor you."
I smiled and said, "He even picked a red one for you. I would have thought he'd picked a feminine stylefor you if it didn't have a manly style."
"Hmm. It has too many flowers," he responded.
I comforted him. "Who knows? You might look good in it."
"Ms. Felix, your wooden sandals are here," he said.
I wore white socks and wooden sandals before leaving the room.
After around nine minutes, Ezekiel finally came out of the room. He looked particularly charmingwearing that red kimono. It was because of his fair skin that the bright red color looked natural on him.
Not to mention he was already good-looking.
I complimented him, "You're a hundred times hotter than Colin."
Hearing this, Ezekiel smiled slightly and said, "Thank you."
"Let's go replace Colin!"
We found Colin nearby flirting with women. When he saw us, he exclaimed, "You look beautiful! I havegood taste. Remember to pay me back for those outfits!"
The quality and embroidery of these three attires were top-notch. Colin said it cost 5 million yen, whichis equivalent to around 35 thousand dollars. Although it is not a small amount, I had just wired him 90million dollars two days ago, so I couldn't be bothered to deal with him anymore.
"Colin, let's get going!"
He's always delaying our schedule!
"All you care about is Shawn!" Colin complained.
"Who else should I care about? Should I care about you instead?"
"I don't want to argue with you. Let's go to the shrine."
The road to the shrine was lively. Colin insisted on taking a photo on the stairs leading to the shrine andfound a passerby to help us.
The three of us even took a group photo!
"Renee, do you want a photo?"
"No!" I declined.
We finally arrived at the shrine after much delay. Colin led us to the backyard and said, "K'sgrandmother lives here."
Then, he quickly said, "I'm off!"
Colin left speedily. It was only Ezekiel and I left in the courtyard. I mumbled sadly, "I feel helpless."
Ezekiel looked troubled as well. "He's playful."
"Let's go visit the old lady."
It was a typical courtyard layout with trees planted in the area. The flowers fell with the wind, but I didn'tknow what kind of flower it was. I picked one up from the ground and knocked on K's grandmother'sdoor while holding the flower in my hand.
"Who is it?"
It was Japanese.
I don't know Japanese.
But she sounded familiar.
I look at Ezekiel and asked, "How should we communicate?"
"I know a little Japanese."
