Chapter 1470


    Leah let out a heartyugh, she clearly didn''t think her question was that upfront.


    "No reason, I just want to know what type of girl has the heart of a gentle man like you."


    Being put on the spot by her as she gazed at him, Ernest felt a little flustered. He calmly put the


    knife away, handed over the peeled peach in his hands, and retrieved the one Leah was holding.


    In that moment, their fingers brushed against each other''s unintentionally. The both of them put on


    an unaffected expression, despite stiffening at the touch.


    "Well, tell me." Leah asked again.


    "She''s kind and beautiful," Ernest said calmly.


    Leah''s eyes widened. She said in a surprised tone, "Wow, Immorternest, you look like you''re


    someone who sees beyond the surface. Who would''ve thought that you would judge a book by its


    cover?"


    Ernest was stunned and asked in response, "It''s just human nature. I''m just an ordinary person."


    Leah stared nkly for a moment before she stretched her neck andughed. She continued


    gnawing away at the peaches. "Gentle and beautiful. Let me guess, let''s unpack what makes


    someone gentle. If she''s gentle, she must be virtuous and ethical. Extending to the beauty


    department, she must be visually attractive. These standards seem pretty simple, but in actuality,


    these are quite high-end requirements."


    Ernest gave it a thought and said frankly, "That''s right."


    Leah nodded. Facing Immorternest, she concluded that he really had high standards. "Then a


    question for you, Immorternest, since you''re a passive guy unwilling to initiate a confession, if this


    person you like was snatched away by someone else, what would you do?"


    After finishing her sentence, Leah discerned a hint of solemnity in his smile. Even though he was


    still smiling, Leah had the ability to spot the subtle changes in the minute details of his expression.


    It seemed like the graceful young man in front of her had deep feelings for the girl in his heart. She


    must''ve been truly be gentle and beautiful for him to feel that way.


    Leah smiled and retracted her gaze. She didn''t want to interrogate his feelings any further and only


    said, "Immorternest, let me give you a word of advice. In the future, you should be more proactive,


    or else you''ll miss out on a good girl."


    "Then I hope there wille a time where your wishes true." Ernest replied unexpectedly.


    Leah was stunned and burst intoughter. "That''s right, I made that wish just for your sake."


    "Then I''d really have to thank you."


    "You''re wee." Leah waved him off. She ate the peaches then she said, "Forget it, I''ll eat three.


    If I eat too much I''m afraid I won''t have space left for lunch."


    "We still have one more." Ernest reminded her.


    "The most important matter is the peach juice, if I eat too much I might need to use the toilet, and


    it''s not easy for a girl to find a restroom in public." Leah suddenly stood up and looked into the


    direction where Adrian had disappeared to. She muttered to herself, "Adrian said he was going to


    the restroom, but this is the back route of the mountain. There''s definitely no restroom here."

    Ernest was surprised, and then he frowned slightly.


    "So my guess is he found a random spot and swiftly finished his business." Leah raised her hand


    and shielded her eyes to look farther. "Would you look at that, such is the convenience of being a


    boy. I''m a girl, so I can''t solve the same problem as easily as you guys. I should probably eat one


    less peach."


    Ernest waspletely shocked. He didn''t expect for her to be able to freely talk about those


    problems with him. Was she even conscious that she was a girl?


    However, when he looked back again at Leah, she still appeared natural and unbothered, so much


    so that it made him feel that he might have overthought a little.


    Ernest shook his head and chuckled. He wiped the knife with tissue, folded it, and put it away.


    "Hey Immorternest, do you want to make a bet with me?" Leah plopped the pit of the peach into the


    bag and took a piece of tissue from Ernest as she looked at him.


    Ernest smiled again and said, "What kind of bet?"


    "Let''s bet on Adrian. Do you think he''s taking a number one or number two?" Leah kept her eyes on


    the direction where Adrian had run off to. She couldn''t even spot his figure, and surmised that he


    was probably squatting in some corner taking a number two.


    "Huh?" There was a feeling of defeat as he felt like he wanted to p his forehead. He smiled


    fondly at Leah and his gazended on her powerlessly. He was seemingly amazed and shocked at


    the sheer unfiltered words of the girl.


    "I''m not betting on it. How could you evene


    up with these kinds of things?"


    Leah squatted down and sat on a stone beside Ernest. She propped her chin with one hand and


    nced at Ernest with a bright smile. "It''s not like it''s a bad thing to talk about, is it? Everyone needs


    to do it. I''ll ask him about itter. My guess is that he''s taking a number two considering the fact that


    he''s been gone for so long. Immorternest, are you betting on number one or number two?"


    "I said I''m not betting." Ernest kept a smile and maintained his demeanor.


    Leah blinked and said, "Immorternest, you should have some excitement in life. Just staying cool


    can only get you so far. If the time is right, indulge in a little more naughty and fun things, and your


    life will be super interesting."


    "Even if what you said makes sense, you can just keep these naughty and fun things to yourself."


    Ernest smiled disapprovingly.


    "Immorternest, look at me." Leah pointed to her own face for Ernest to look at.


    Ernest looked at her and asked, "What am I supposed to look at?"


    "Am I pretty?" she asked.


    Ernest was dumbfounded but hurriedly calmed himself down. He took a nce at her and fixed his


    gaze on her warm smile. He looked away and said, "You''d be considered pretty."


    "What about gentle?" Leah added. "Beautiful, but not gentle. Is that what you mean?"


    Ernest hooked the foldable knife back onto his keychain and pocketed it. Then, he said, "Well,


    there''s nothing really gentle about you. You''re an incredibly lively girl, and you have a carefree and


    open-minded personality. It''s a good thing."


    Leah blinked. She wasn''t bothered by his words, and said in a neutral tone, "The implication here is


    that I am not your type."


    Ernest didn''t know whether tough or cry at her quick- witted thinking. He looked at her with a


    tender smile.


    When Leahughed, there was a dash of shallow dimples at the corner of her lips, and it made her


    look bubbly and adorable.


    What was even more adorable was her incandescent expression that possessed a vibrance that


    made it hard for people to look away, especially under the sunlight.


    Ernest turned his gaze away and smiled, remaining silent.


    Leah frowned slightly and let out a sigh. "In my opinion, gentle girls are hard toe by these days.


    We''re in a generation that subverts expectations, so how can we find any timid person in this era? If


    the girl is not a tigress, you''re already in luck."


    "You''re no tigress either," Ernest said meekly. "Why are you so caught up on this?"


    Leah withdrew her gaze and looked towards the mountains in the distance. She said, "It''s not about


    me being caught up in it, I''m just wondering how I''m going to write out my female lead."


    Ernest was surprised yet again. He found that he couldn''t really keep up with Leah''s pace.


    Leah got up from the steps and stretched. "Hey Immorternest, why hasn''t Adriane back yet?


    Do you want to go find him?"


    "There''s no need," said Ernest, "he should be back soon."


    Sure enough, Adrian came back within around three minutes.


    "Hey, were you constipated?" Leah asked straightforwardly.


    "Come again?" Adrian''s eyes widened.


    Ernest brought his hand to his forehead after seeing Adrian''s mortified expression. He decided to


    stay silent and let the scene y out in front of him.


    "You went to look for a restroom just now, didn''t you? You were gone for so long, what else could it


    have been other than constipation?" Leah even put on a caring act. "Don''t worry, constipation can


    be cured. Once it''s cured, you could save a lot of time."


    "Leah." Adrian gritted his teeth. "What nonsense are you talking about?"


    Could the woman not think any better of him? He was trying to create an opportunity for her and


    Ernest, and yet everything she was saying right then was just poking fun at him.


    "Nonsense?" Leah nced at Adrian and thenughed with a sly expression. "Well then, feel free to


    interpret it as nonsense."


    "Everything you''ve said has been nonsense," Adrianined again. "Ernest, do you have


    nothing to say to this?"


    Ernest shook his head and said seriously, "No, not really."


    "Screw you guys, you two really have no conscience." If Adrian had known that Leah would end up


    saying stuff like that, he wouldn''t have left them alone, and he would have never created an


    opportunity forthem.


    "What''s wrong with the two of us? If you want to say something about me, you can do it, but don''t


    drag Immorternest into this. Our dear Immorternest here isn''t even a normal human being, doesn''t


    your conscience hurt when you rope him in?" Leah said. "Just say whatever you want towards me.


    I''m thick-skinned, I can handle it."


    "There''s no doubt that you''re thick-skinned." Adrian was speechless as he looked at the both of


    them. "Let''s descend the mountain and find a ce to eat."


    "Okay, but were you taking a number one or number two just now?"


    "One!" Adrian roared angrily.


    "Aw, I guessed wrongly." Leah sagged her shoulders in disappointment and sighed disdainfully. "I


    can''t believe I actually made an incorrect assumption."


    Anyhow, when they went down the mountain, Leah looked like she was in deep thought, and no one


    could decipher what in the world she was thinking about.
