Chapter 172 Her protective pesticide
XiZe University, Country J...
Kaide who was ordered by Zaki never to leave Davi’s side no matter what was currently dubbed as XiZe’s extremely handsome tail. Well, it was because Kaide was literally stuck to Davi like he was her own shadow. They come to school together, they go to their class together, they eat together, and go back home together. The only time they’ll get separated was when Davi goes to the restroom and he waited for her outside as if he was her loyal knight.
Of course, their unusual glue-like togetherness has garnered a hot attention within the entire university. Davi was the famous goddess scholar who topped the recent legendary entrance test and Kaide was the famous new university Adonis who dethroned the previous university’s number one heartthrob without him even knowing at all. And without their knowledge, the two already became the university’s new power couple and surprisingly, almost a third of the university’s population easily became their fans. They became too famous that some of the students started secretly taking a photo of them together and posted them into different social media platforms.
"Er... Kaide, what’s going on? Have you noticed that everyone was distancing themselves towards us? Something’s not right here... why nobody is talking to us? It’s already a week but it seems like they’re avoiding us or something? Even our classmates are acting unusual as though we are some intimidating gangsters." Davi suddenly said while they were sitting on the uni’s café, causing Kaide to scratch his nape as he answered.
"Well, I think they thought we’re some lovey-dovey couple and they don’t want to disturb us, something like that."
"Eh...? Well... that makes sense. That’s why I’m telling you not to stick beside me too much, it’s okay if you can go and have some friends."
"I don’t need friends. Why? You don’t want me beside you?" Kaide replied and he began to act like a little puppy with teary eyes as he wags his invisible tail, causing Davi to immediately heaved a sigh of surrender. Well, she thought she shouldn’t be too tough with girls.
"I get it, I get it, okay? Don’t be sad. You can stick with me however you wanted." She then said as she patted his head as though she was consoling her sad female servant.
"Thank you Miss." Kaide just replied as he continued eating nonstop. It was because deep within Kaide, he’s been crying without fear for a long while now. When Zaki told him to secretly act as her bodyguard, Kaide didn’t mind it. However, when he told him to stick beside her at all times, trouble has risen. Kaide was forced to tell her that he doesn’t want to have any friends at school because he was afraid they might found out that he’s gay. He even said that he’ll be fine even if she’s the only person he’ll hang out with the entire year, even begging her not to ever reveal his secret to anyone. Well, the strategy worked really well and Davi didn’t mind him sticking beside her. Not knowing that the real purpose of Kaide sticking with her like an inseparable glued accessory was to create an invisible wall around Davi so that venomous flies and pests wouldn’t dare to even attempt getting close to her. In short, he wasn’t just her 24/7 bodyguard, he was also her protective pesticide.
I can’t believe this... This is so embarrassing... I actually manage to perform the teary eyes strategy in the nick of time... Ahh... this is the toughest job I ever had my entire life...
"Miss... please don’t console me like that when we’re in public. They will notice that you’re not treating me as a man." Kaide whispered and Davi immediately stopped.
"Opps... sorry, sorry... this will not happen again." She said and Kaide could only force a smile. And thus, Kaide’s very own struggle continued.
