The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era [BL]

Chapter 295 THE DATE (IX)

295  THE DATE (IX)

AFTER doing the couple challenge, Astrid and Wulfric decided to look around the horror theme park. Going around and checking every attraction. As they did, Astrid could see that Wulfric was in a very good mood. The other's every step was light. It's almost as if there were small flowers floating around him.

It's not hard to guess the cause for this. It's definitely because of those stuff toys they won at the castle. Astrid was still quite amazed by it. Because the stuff toys were made quite fast. The fact that they were based on his and Wulfric's looks meant that they were only made right after they completed the challenge. Just how fast was that?

But then again, this was the interstellar era. He shouldn't really be that surprised at how advanced the technology was.

Now, each of their stuff toys were safely tuck in their space stones.

Astrid glanced at Wulfric. He knew this guy was not only in such a good mood because of the stuff toys but also because of the pictures they had taken. In every attraction they went to, Wulfric insisted on taking photos of the two of them. Like some kind of souvenir.

He didn't mind though. There's no reason for him to decline. Such a small thing, if it could make Wulfric happy, then who was he to hinder it?

They stayed at the theme park until after lunch time. They even had lunch there. Just a few hours after eating, they decided to finally leave since they had already gone through all the attractions.

"Where do you want to go next?" Wulfric asked while the two of them were walking towards the parking space.

"Do you have any more plans?" Astrid asked back. "If you do, we can just go there."

Wulfric scratched his nose. "Well, based on my failed plans, I think it's better to just go with the flow. So, you decide where to go next."

"Then, let's go to the mall?" Astrid suggested. "Let's just walk around, go shopping, and then watch a movie after."

What he said was something very standard in a date. He didn't think that it would be boring. How could it be boring when he's with this guy? He's sure that Wulfric would do something interesting no matter where they went.

When Wulfric heard the word 'shopping', his eyebrows almost creased. But then he immediately thought that he could buy clothes and other things for Aster. Then, somehow, he didn't mind it anymore.

"Okay," he said.

-----

They went to the biggest mall in the capital. It had 30 floors, complete with all kinds of amenities. From restaurants to different kinds of stores, to movie theaters. There was even a dedicated playground for kids.

This was Astrid's first time here. He usually went shopping on the nearest department store to his apartment. That one was big, but this was obviously bigger.

Going inside, he asked Wulfric, "Have you been here before?"

"No, actually. This is not the usual establishment I frequent," Wulfric answered honestly.

"Then, what kind of establishment do you usually frequent?" Astrid asked, with a bit of playfulness in his voice.

Wulfric cleared his throat. "Well, here and there. You know, places of ill repute."

Astrid chuckled at that. "You didn't have to be so honest."

"It's fine. It's better to be honest than to be hypocritical. Besides," Wulfric glanced to the side as if he's feeling shy. "I want you to see the real me. Not just the 'me' that I want to show to you."

Astrid stared at Wulfric with interest. Then he smiled, "Don't worry, I pretty much have a good idea of what kind of temperament and character you have. So, you don't have to worry that I would be tricked by you."

After saying that with an obvious playful tone, he walked forward. Leaving the other behind.

Wulfric was momentarily stunned hearing that. Then, seeing that Aster was walking further away, he quickly called and followed.

"Hey, Aster!" Walking beside the other, he asked, "So, if you were to give a grade on my personality, what would it be?"

"Hmm… if we're talking about the first time we met, then you'd definitely fail," Astrid said without hesitation. "But now? You're definitely making progress." He glanced at the other and smiled. "I like it."

'I like it… I like it… I like it…' – Those three words continued to echo in Wulfric's mind. Did that mean that Aster was starting to like him? He quickly shook his head. No. he shouldn't jump to conclusions like that.

Right now, it's enough that Aster like his change. Although he's not even sure what kind of change was that. After all, in his opinion, he wasn't really that much different from how he was before. Except probably for the way he treated Aster. But that's only natural, right? After all, for him, Aster was very special.

As he was thinking that, he suddenly thought of something. "By the way, speaking of the first time we met, there's something about it that remained a puzzle for me. How did I lose consciousness? I was checked for any drugs but nothing was found. I also didn't feel you using your mental force on me. So, can you enlighten me just this one time?"

Aster turned to him with a serious expression. "What answer would not put me in prison?"

Seeing the other being so serious, it just made Aster looked cuter in Wulfric's eyes. Finally, he couldn't stop himself from reaching out and pinching the other's cheek. "Stop playing. No matter what you do, I won't have the heart to put you in prison."

Astrid was startled by the sudden touch on his cheek. Then, he grinned after hearing what Wulfric had said. "Hey, don't say that. I might be tempted to do something criminal."

"Like what?" Wulfric asked in an amused tone.

"I don't know," Astrid shrugged before smiling playfully at the other. "Like kissing a certain prince in public."

Boom! Yes, that was Wulfric's heart just now.
