Royd, with a somewhat stiff expression, turned Gu Shengyin's hand around in his own.
Upon closer inspection, you could see a slight redness at the base of his ears.
He mumbled somewhat sulkily, "Isn't this the kind of thing a man should say first?"
This time, Gu Shengyin showed him no mercy and burst out laughing.
By the time they finished pouring out their hearts to each other, a sumptuous lunch was ready.
After lunch, they enjoyed the scenery for a while before Royd sent her back to the Shrine at Saint Veit Grand Square.
"Goodbye, Royd," Gu Shengyin turned back to say to her.
This was the back of the Shrine, the area where Gu Shengyin lived and moved about; no outsiders were allowed in.
Suddenly, Royd strode over to her, bent down, and kissed her cheek in one smooth motion.
"The book says couples can have some intimate little interactions when saying goodbye," he said with a straight face.
