Chapter 58: Panda and the Storm

I was stunned. Kenn’s words made the woman who had argued with me earlier turn deathly pale, especially when she received a phone call, which I was sure was from her superior.

I glanced at the name tag pinned to her uniform. The name matched exactly the one Kenn had mentioned on the phone.

This was insane. I never expected Kenn to act this recklessly. I stood frozen in place. Even when Kenn received his debit card back, I noticed the cashier’s hands trembling.

Without waiting any longer, I took the giant panda doll and handed it to Kenn. Take that. Now let him be the one to carry this huge doll.

Actually, I felt that Kenn had gone a bit too far by asking for the woman to be fired. Even though her words were harsh, she was surely working because she needed the money. But on the other hand, Kenn was also the one who had saved me from humiliation.

I paced back and forth without any clear direction. My emotions were all over the place. Angry, confused, and unsure of what to do. Suddenly, from behind, Kenn threw the panda doll straight at my back. Because of the doll’s heavy weight, I fell face-first to the floor.

When I lifted my head, Kenn was already standing right in front of me. “Are you done walking around?” he said flatly. “Can we go home now?”

Kenn really was an infuriating guy!

I couldn’t bring myself to look at the people who were watching me fall just now. Kenn had embarrassed me. This guy truly managed to send my emotions on a roller coaster in just a matter of seconds.

I tried to stand up while grabbing my panda doll. I lifted it with great effort. Just imagine it, the doll was a meter tall, more than half my own height. Luckily, I really liked panda dolls; otherwise, I would have definitely thrown it back.

“What do you mean by throwing my doll, huh?!” I shouted. I stared at Kenn with sharp eyes. My voice rang out shrilly. “Satisfied with embarrassing me?”

Kenn laughed instead. “Who asked you to buy this giant green doll?”

For heaven’s sake, why was this man laughing at my suffering? And what did he just say? Giant green?

My anger flared again. “Listen carefully. This is a panda doll, not a giant green monster. Got it?”

Kenn laughed even harder. It was rare for him to laugh that loudly. I frowned in confusion. What was so funny?

“Are you crazy? There’s nothing funny here!”

“You didn’t realize what your facial expression looked like when you were holding that green doll?” Kenn chuckled, then cleared his throat briefly and put his arrogant face back on. “Tsk, such a small body acting like you want to buy a huge doll.”

“I know my body is small, no need to remind me again. I’ll say it one more time, this is a panda doll, Kenn. A panda.”

But thinking about it again, he wasn’t entirely wrong either. The color of this doll was indeed dominated by green.

“Whatever. I want to go home.”

Oh, it wouldn’t be that easy, Kenn.

Without any warning, I took off my shoe and threw it straight at Kenn’s head.

A direct hit!

Kenn grabbed the back of his head, grimacing in pain.

“Take that, Kenn!” I laughed in satisfaction at his shocked expression.

He glared sharply at me. I wasn’t scared in the slightest, instead, I laughed even louder. Let him know what it feels like to be humiliated in public.

At last, I was able to retaliate against Kenn. I could mess with him too.

Even so, there were still several big question marks about Kenn’s often unpredictable behavior, like when he suddenly gave in to my wishes without any resistance, or when he laughed freely, even though at school he almost never did, except when he was with Tomi.

But never mind. Maybe it was just my imagination. I was sure of it.

Tomorrow, wait for my second request, Kenn.

This is definitely going to get even more exciting. I want to see whether Kenn will keep hiding or be willing to play along with my game.
