sweet?

The next day rolled in without any more events and since the school was still ongoing, Penny expected that it was another day of some peace. But when she walked out of the garden, she saw Hugo ruthlessly grappling the martial arts doll on the grass.

His expression was vicious and sharp, giving the impression he was angry. Sweats poured from him like rain, damping his entire loose shirt. He was viciously beating the heck out of the dummy, launching some powerful martial arts moves.

arts?"

He also saw her mimic his moves just now. Although she looked cute while doing so, he noticed that she had a good posture that showed her foundation. "Hehe. Second Brother, I thought you were training, so I didn't want to disturb you." Penny clasped her hands close to her chest. "Are you done?" "Yep."

"Okay! Rest well!" Penny quickly turned to leave, only to be stopped when a hand grabbed her back collar.

Looking back, Hugo smiled. "Penny, want to eat

This time, Penny, who would usually fire up at the mention of food, felt rather scared. Hugo sounded like he was luring her into a ponzi scheme.
