Chapter 136: Teacher, carry me please.

Lith did various activities throughout the whole day to distract himself as much as he could. It helped to keep his mental state stable but as he neared close to the time of the date, these feelings returned.

He was currently pacing around in circles in his room, all dressed up and worried about how the date would go. The time was 8 p.m., and it was now 7 p.m. They hadn't even decided the venue where they would have dinner and it worried him even more.

'Ahhh, my brain would get fried thinking of so many things. Relax, Lith. Try to relax. You're overthinking things. Relax, relax.' Lith chanted in his mind.

He decided to meditate while listening to calming music to relax which did help out a little. He wasn't worrying in the same way as he did a while ago.

Soon, it was 8pm.

Lith had forgotten to check the time and was currently sitting cross-legged on his bed, listening to music. While he was listening to it, he felt himself being wrapped around in someone's arms. Lith panicked and instantly turned around to see who it was.

He let his guard down! Someone was trying to sneak attack, he thought and got into a battle ready state. However, as he turned and saw the intruder, he was dumbfounded.

He saw the beautiful face of his teacher, Arya. Her blue eyes reflected her serene and calm self which made even Lith feel calm.Her rosy lips enticed him to bite them, and her unblemished face dispelled any impure thoughts he may have had about her.

"Surprised?" Arya asked with a smile.

"Yeah." Lith replied without thinking much.

"Why do you seem so tired?" Arya asked, looking at Lith's tired face.

Lith didn't sleep the whole night and was running around the whole day doing one activity after another to distract himself. He was bound to be tired as he was just a rank 2 currently.

People below rank 6 were all mortals. They needed sleep and food unlike immortals who could make do without it. Lith was exhausted, as evidenced by his expression, which Arya noticed.

"I didn't sleep and did many activities today. I am bound to be tired." Lith said exhaling and being in relief of finding no intruder.

His emotions had calmed down already due to music and meditation and looking at Arya's face made him even calmer.

"Why did you not sleep? Were you thinking about how today's date would be and how the end result will be?" Arya hit the bull's eye by asking this question but she didn't know that she did.

Lith was surprised at how easily she hit the mark, but would he agree with it? Obviously he would.

"Of course. How could I not think of my beautiful teacher and how she is so nice. You're taking responsibility, It's a very nice thing to do. I am proud of you, teacher." Lith showed a thumbs up and answered shamelessly.

He himself didn't realise this but he was very comfortable when he was around Arya. When they were around, their vibe resonated because she was a fun, carefree person who was just as shameless as he was.

Arya giggled hearing Lith's response. She had no idea whether he was stating the truth or was being sarcastic about it. Answers such as these which could make even an Emperor rank herself feel confused were very rare.

If Lith had a system with him currently, he would see a notification panel stating:

[Impression +1]

His good impression was rising constantly in front of Arya, who was now starting to like him. But It was just the start, it still wasn't anywhere close to where she could even think about dating Lith.

"It seems that you like me a lot and are thinking so much about me. You really want to date me that bad, huh?" Arya said and chuckled.

She wasn't someone shy and though she didn't know whether what Lith previously said was true or not, she just followed along without any worries.

"Of course I do. Who wouldn't consider that they have such a nice and beautiful teacher. Anyway, are you going to waste time talking to me here, teacher? Or take responsibility and take me somewhere for dinner? I am hungry, you know?" Lith said while rubbing his stomach in the end.

"When going on a date, isn't it the guy's responsibility to take the girl for dinner? I don't want a boyfriend who is dependent on me, you know? I want someone who can take care of me." Arya said. What she said was a mix of jokes, lies and truth.

She was joking when she said about the guy taking the girl out on a date. It was just a stereotype which she made use of to joke. She lied when she said she wanted someone who won't be dependent on her and she was stating the truth when she said about having someone to take care of her.

This was something that came out from deep within her heart. She hadn't opened up like this to anyone but being around Lith whose vibe matched her own, such a thing came out on its own. Even she didn't know that she would say something as such and only after the words were spoken did she realise it.

It was too late now though. Words once said cannot be taken back. Though Arya knew she made a blunder, she didn't show it on her face, lest Lith caught it and just waited for his response with a smile on her face.

"Teacher, that's a stereotype. It's the new age now. It's not the guys that need to take the girl out. Anyway, you're getting a boyfriend who will be dependent on you ahem, I mean, a student who will be dependent on you.

And don't worry, I, Lith, would always take care of you. I am not kidding. Now take me to dinner quickly. I am very hungry, not even kidding. Ahhh, I am so hungry that I have become weak. Teacher, carry me please."

Lith made full use of his shameless behaviour and in the end spread his hands out and asked Arya to carry him.
