Obviously seeing his friend kissing in front of him never crossed Aslan's mind, but it wasn't just Jaden and Ashley, there were two other couples making out there. Maybe it was because the place was famous for fireflies that would come around five in the afternoon and would only leave around ten at night.

"Don't look!" Aslan immediately covered Aileen's eyes with the palm of his right hand as Aileen glared at her friend kissing in front of her.

"Come on, I want to see them!" Aileen tried to open Aslan's hand that was covering hers.

"It's not good for you!" said Aslan.

"But I want to see, I've never kissed like that, I'm curious!"

Aslan giggled because Aileen was adorable when she was sulking to see. So, Aslan pulled the girl's body around to look at him.

"Just look at me, don't look at them, or we'll go somewhere else that-"

Aslan didn't continue when Aileen suddenly threw her arms around his neck.

"Fine, I'll just look at you."

Staring at Aileen's beautiful face that close made Aslan

    "You look so bored, try to have more fun" Sion pointed his toy gun at Aslan.Aslan used to play with children, but now it was rare or even never, because Dave also acted like an adult, so Aslan forgot that playing with children would be this tiring."Please let me lie down, don't you want to go home?" Aslan lay down on the carpet in the living room. He was tired of the kids playing, even Dave who was usually calm as an adult was playing too. Well, Aslan liked it when Dave played like other kids his age. Aslan didn't want Dave to grow up too fast because of his parents' death."I don't want to, we have three older siblings and they all went off on their own, no one wants to play with me." Sion said with a sad look on his face, Aslan felt bad for making the cheerful boy sad."Sorry, I didn't mean to make you sad." Aslan patted the back of Sion's head gently.Sion shook his head softly, "no problem, I'm fine.""By the way, are you two twins? Because you're the same age, right?" Aslan ask

    Toni laughed out loud at Dave's words, "what success can an orphanage child have?" Toni said, in the same dismissive tone that Aslan remembered.Toni didn't come from a wealthy family, but then her mother married a rich man and their status rose. Maybe it was the sudden wealth, so Toni ended up being arrogant like that. Even though Toni's stepfather's wealth is nothing compared to Kyle's family wealth. Toni's stepfather is an executive manager at a large company, and Toni's mother used to be the man's mistress, then married him.Aslan still didn't understand why Toni could be so arrogant after becoming rich. Because Aslan himself didn't really like to show off his wealth, unless he had to.

    "Is this house always quiet when there are so many people living here?" Aslan asked after he and Evan arrived at the Stone family home.Only the two of them went to the house, while the boys went back to Aslan's house. They said they wanted to stay in Dave's room. Aslan was very happy, because Dave finally had a friend who was the same age as him."You see, our parents prefer to work, and if they're not working, they go on vacation alone. They never invite us, maybe because we're older or because they just don't want to be bothered. You know, we have five children and all of them are boys. Actually my mom wants to get pregnant again and hopes to have a girl, but for me it's quite difficult, though not impossible."Aslan thought Evan was like Sion, talkative and too honest. Now Aslan was curious about Eric and Stevan."That's right, what I know is that the sex of the baby will depend on the father's bloodline. Your stepfather's child are all boys, wasn't he?" said Aslan."That's right,

    Aslan began to get comfortable with his position on the couch, as Dave rested his head on Aslan's shoulder."Why were you kissing that woman, Sion's cousin? Are you dating her? If I may advise, don't date her, she scares me."Aslan didn't know how to answer, after all, how did Dave know?"How did you know that?""Actually I was sleepy and wanted to go home at that time, then I met Evan and he said it looked like you came into the room, so I opened the room and saw you, because I was surprised, I immediately closed the door and went back to Sion's room. I didn't tell Sion, just said that you were still long. Then Sion called Anton, and we slept together, and that's the story."Aslan rubbed his face roughly, he felt ashamed, upset with himself and guilty."I'm sorry, I won't do it again."Dave shook his head, "It's okay, you're already an adult, so I think it's normal for you. It's just that I don't feel like that woman, I don't have a good reason, but - it's really up to you, I don't w

Bella whispered.Dave just shook his head because he didn't know either, all he knew was that Aslan was fine last night."Oh, maybe because of that woman?" replied Dave after remembering that Sarah invited her friend to Aslan's house."Oh, aunt Nindya, huh?"Dave shrugged his shoulders, "maybe."Aslan placed a plate full of deep-fried shrimp on the table in front of Dave and Bella."Aslan, are you okay?" Dave asked.Aslan raised one eyebrow, "I'm fine, why are you asking?" he replied."You've been grumbling all day, we're curious, what's wrong with you?" said Bella.Aslan gently rubbed Bella's head with a faint smile, "I'm fine, Bel, don't worry.

Hendry said, with a flat face, which even looked funny to Aslan, but Aslan wanted to kick Hendry's calf."I'm just happy to see my brother coming, am I wrong?" Aslan said."Oho, there must be something you want," Hendry replied with an ignorant smile. But since Aslan was like that because he indeed wanted something from Lucas, he got nervous."N-no way!""It's fine, no need to fight like that, what's wrong Aslan?

And you want to give me another friend?

    Sam found it strange that Aslan was suddenly silent while staring at his body, after realizing what Aslan was looking at, he asked."Do you feel sorry for me after seeing my body covered in scars like this? I don't like being pitied." Sam asked.Aslan shook his head, then he handed Sam something. It was a silver bathbomb, which was not much different from the gold one, except that if the gold bathbomb could brighten dull skin, the silver bathbomb could remove scars or even out skin tone. The silver one was slightly cheaper than the gold one, costing 400 silver coins."What is this? Soap?" Sam asked confused."You're so pretty, you're an idol, and I guess you don't like all those scars yourself, do you? So take a shower and then soak in that bathbomb. It's free." Aslan said.Sam was still staring at it with a confused look on his face."What do my wounds have to do with this bathbomb?" Sam asked, he really didn't understand what Aslan meant, but he had a point.

Rama who was divulging Sam's secret was immediately smothered by Sam."Hahaha, don't listen to Rama! Aslan, thank goodness you're okay, I was also scolded by my manager the night of your accident." Sam let go of Rama and walked over to Aslan, checking him from top to bottom and there was nothing wrong with him."That's because you ate a lot of seafood, you didn't say anything about preparing the album, I'm fine." Aslan said, then he invited the others to enter."Are you two the only ones here?" Aslan asked, once they were inside the house.Rama and Ben couldn't stop marveling at the ho

For example, climbing trees, bathing in the very clear river, and so on. Because girls were very afraid to go to the forest.So Aslan also liked to go there, usually Aslan would climb the biggest tree, then read a book there, or watch other children playing.Of course, Aslan and Ben often played there with the others, sometimes just the two of them.Aslan didn't understand why Ben asked him to go to that place, but after he got there, Aslan became nostalgic for his past.It was so much fun back then.The tree that Aslan used to climb so often, now it doesn't look as big as he thought it was, maybe Aslan grew up so

Lucas snatched the complimentary glass of lemon water provided at their table after taking two bites of the black lava burger.Aslan glanced at Lucas and chuckled, pleased with Lucas' spicy reaction."I thought with that face you were supposed to be resistant to anything spicy," Aslan said.Lucas gave Aslan an annoyed look as he managed to gulp down the entire glass, "since when do faces and spice resistance have anything to do with each other?"Aslan squared his shoulders, "well, usually there is a connection, like Marlo for example, how does a face like that fit if he can't stand spicy?"Lucas chuckled, "So you think my face is Marlo's type?"Aslan laughed with satisfaction at Lucas' annoyance."Turns out I'm just as scary as Marlo, huh?" Lucas asked.Aslan nodded happily, "yes!"Lucas ruffled Aslan's hair again, "You little..."Aslan, who didn't care if his hair was messed up, went back to eating his burger.
