Awakening

Chapter 198 Game

 

“Hello, I have found the book you are looking for, I am going to bring it to you, okay?”

“Thank you.”

After checking out later, a bespectacled young man turned to Kazumi, who was tidying a bookshelf, to say goodbye. Kazumi politely nodded back in courtesy.

After the young man left the bookstore, Take Asasei, who wore the same blue uniform as her, turned to her friend and asked: “That man is coming here again, he is really interested in you.”

While continuing to clean up, Kazumi said: “Don’t talk nonsense, he came here just to buy books.”

“But every time he came, you are the only one he called to help him find the book. The strangest thing is, all the books he’s looking for are all on sale. And he looked at you with a weird look. I am sure he is intentionally trying to find a chance to get close to you.”

Kazumi snappily said: “Please, Miss, reduce your time in watching rom-com, okay? Or you can just simply find yourself a boyfriend, to avoid you daydreaming all day.”

Take Asasei curled her lips and said: “What, why are you making this about me? It’s you who are obviously too slow.”

At this point, she suddenly pulled her friend and said: “Hey, that handsome guy is here again.”

When Kazumi looked up, she saw Ogata Yasuda leisurely walked from a nearby parked red sports car toward the bookstore entrance.

Seeing him coming directly to the bookstore from the car, Kazumi’s face suddenly sank, “I am going to work.” With that, she went to the innermost bookshelves.

“Kazumi….” Seeing her walked away, Take Asasei was a bit overwhelmed, looking at Ogata Yasuda arriving at the door.

After walking into the bookstore, the tall and handsome Ogata Yasuda immediately attracted the attention of several young women who were sitting in there reading a book.

Ogata Yasuda smiled and looked around, and then went over to Take Asasei and said: “Little Asasei, you are cute as usual today. Has no one ever told you that you look great in uniform?”

Afraid to look him in the eye, Take Asasei lowered her head and red-facedly said: “No, nobody has ever told me that.”

“Ai, it seems like many people don’t have vision.”

Take Asasei’s face became even redder, “You, you are looking for Kazumi, right? She, she is in there.”

“You are really clever, it’s rare nowadays to find a girl who is clever and cute at the same time.”

Feeling his fingers gently caressed her cheek, Take Asasei’s mind began to jump like crazy.

After a while, when she looked up, she saw the man has walked toward Kazumi. Her eyes could not help reveal the look of loss.

Looking at the girl, who was quietly tidying the bookshelves, Yasuda’s face revealed a strange smile.

He was getting increasingly interested in this girl.

Two weeks ago when he first saw her, she cursed and scolded him. That’s when he decided to teach this arrogant girl a lesson.

But for a wealthy playboy like him, the so-called lesson was obviously not going to be so vulgar.

After acquiring a detailed information about the girl, he began his game.

But more than a week after the game began, he discovered that all the effective means he used in the past did not seem to impress her.

He saw that when she received his flowers, she would not hesitate to throw them into the trashcan. And when he appeared in front of her, she would completely ignore him like he was invisible, and did not give him any chance to speak.

He has never encountered such an interesting opponent.

Walking slowly, Yasuda went over to her side and said: “Good afternoon, Kazumi.”

Kazumi frowned and, after distancing herself two feet away from him, looked at him coldly, “May I help you?”

Yasuda said with a smile: “Nothing, I just want to see you.”

“You are so considerate, but I have no illness and no pain, I don’t need someone to deliberately visit me.” With that, she walked away to another location.

Yasuda closely followed and after a while, sighed and said: “Kazumi, why are you treating me so coldly?”

Kazumi said without looking back: “Not everyone is worthy of respect, some people live only to waste the Earth’s resources. Therefore, from an environmental point of view, all those people should be humanely destroyed.”

A flash of irritation passed through Yasuda’s eyes, This girl is still a razor mouth.

He thought for a moment and then said: “I want to buy a book, and I want you to help me find it.”

“If you want to find a book, please go to the front desk to find a sales lady to get it for you.”

“But I want you to help me find it. I believe your manager will not reject a small request from a customer.”

Hearing his words, Kazumi stopped her footsteps.

Yasuda somewhat smugly looked at her. Without knowing why, he wanted to see her angry look.

Unexpectedly, when she turned her head, she said: “You are right, the customer is the King. Please tell me the title you are looking for, and I will check it out for you.”

Seeing no trace of anger in her expression, Yasuda could not help but become a bit disappointed.

After casually telling her the title, Kazumi went to the front desk computer to query.

When she came back, she said to him: “Sir, the book you are looking for has already been found, please wait here, I will help you fetch it.”

The more polite she was, the more Yasuda’s heart felt a sense of frustration.

Seeing her as cold as ice soulless eyes, he could not help but raise his estimation about this girl once again.

After getting his book, Yasuda sat in the customer’s lounge – watching her work – and began to plan for what to do next in his heart. He began to understand that the general means were completely useless toward this girl.

At this time, he heard a burst of ring tone from her side.

He saw her pulled the phone, pressed the “ok” sign, but did not immediately speak. She quietly walked to a deserted corner, seemingly afraid of affecting other people’s reading.

Most people won’t notice this detail but Yasuda’s heart was gently touched.

Because she was too far away, he could not hear her talking on the phone, nonetheless, when he saw her relaxed smiling face while talking on the phone, an absurd sense of irritation burst forth in his heart.

For two weeks this woman never gave him a good face to see. With his prominent family background and his good look, this was the first time he encountered such a tricky object.

Although he did not want to say it, he has to acknowledge that this girl’s smile was pretty good, there was an indescribable flavor within it, which completely different than her usual ice-cold look. Suddenly he wanted to know who was on the phone with her because his intuition told him that the other is a man.

After a few minutes, Kazumi hung up the phone and went back to the bookstore.

Seeing the residual faint smile on her lips, Yasuda’s heart felt a burst of discomfort.
