The Metal Military Academy
Chapter 71: The Wrong Kiss

“Tiana, yes?” tanya Ardan was accompanied by a flat look. There was no hospitality on that beautiful face when he realized the presence of the woman who had dared to beat Nadia and Chrysanthemum.

Bizarrely. Though yesterday Tiana was already rumored to be out of the academy at her own decision, but could instead attend this closing event. Was he not ashamed to meet Ardan after what he did to Nadia who was Ardan's cousin?

“Kok can you be here?” asked Ardan again with one hand into his pants pocket.

“My father's company has cooperation with this academy. I present as one of the guests of the company Father.”

“Oh.” Ardan nodded in understanding.

The young man only remembered that some of the electronic items in the academy were the production of Tiana's father's company. It was only fitting that he could attend even though he had already dropped out of the academy.

Both of them stand while looking at the view of the ballroom which is increasingly crowded with many people. None of them are willing to face each other. Ardan was still fed up with what Tiana had done to Nadia, whereas Tiana felt awkward herself.

This was a very rare precious moment for Tiana to get as long as she knew Ardan. In the end, he could stand close together like this even though the atmosphere felt awkward.

Adjacent to the young man he had always liked, but never once glanced at him.

In the past, Tiana deliberately approached Nadia in order to get closer to Ardan or Rafa because both of them are both known as popular youths and loved by many people.

But unfortunately, his hidden intentions are known to Nadia because of the mouth of her friends bucket. As a result, Tiana gets harder and harder to get close to any of them.

Sucks.

“Emm.... Ardan.” Tiana started to open the conversation. “How are you? Long time no see.”

Ardan drank the drink first. “... Good. Very good in fact. Until finally I was reunited by you.”

Tiana turned, “What maxu—.”

“It is precisely I who asked, what do you mean to teach Nadia and her friends with a horde of your friends, play the crackle?” hiss Ardan tried to resist the annoyance and explosive bursts of anger that could explode at any moment.

“I-it...”

Because of ego, of course Tiana does not want to admit her mistakes, or even not feel guilty at all. Indeed, who is Tiana to say that yesterday's incident was caused by her actions that were upset about the presence of Nadia in front of him.

Proudly Tiana replied, “That's because she insulted me first.”

Ardan looked back with silver eyes. “I've known Nadia for a long time, even since we were babies. And she is not a typical girl who would look for trouble if not for her opponent who makes her angry first.”

The two fought each other face to face, the silver netra of Ardan with the blue netra of Tiana. Ardan was trying to hold back the emotions here because they were in the crowd, whereas Tiana did not accept that he would be the one to blame here.

Is it wrong for Tiana to do something like yesterday because she wants to fight for her feelings?

“You defended him,” reply his sizzle Tiana.

“Indeed. Nadia my cousin, my sister, my family. And he is a figure who has been meritorious throughout my life,” reply Ardan again.

“You like it, right?”

“What?”

Ardan glared unexpectedly. How could anyone think Ardan liked his own sister? Okay, they are not blood, but it is unethical if the closeness of Ardan and Nadia is considered more than just a brother.

Just imagining it made Ardan nauseous.

“You like it, right? Hence, you desperately defended her,” Tiana said again.

Ardan rubbed his face rough. “For God's sake. Which crazy person thought I thought my closeness to Nadia was more than a brother? Rafa and my close friends understood that my relationship with Nadia was only a cousin because our parents were long-time friends. You're just burning your own emotions that are of no use.”

“Lantas, why are you defending him? Nadia has insulted me, humiliated me in front of my own friends, even hurt me until I finally decided to leave the academy before the Orientation Period,” denied Tiana did not accept.

“Because Nadia is my family,” replied Ardan casually. “And about all the bad luck you get, I think it's all because of you. Don't mess with Nadia. He was 11-12 with his brother. Like to mosquito if there is a ngegengganggu.” Ardan put a glass of drink on a nearby table after he had finished gulping. Facing Tiana's stupidity really made Ardan almost dehydrated.

Nadias,

Nadias,

Nadias,

All because of Nadia!

Why is everyone so attentive to Nadia?! Tiana regretted knowing the blonde girl in her life if this would be the case.

“I like you.”

“Hah—.”

Not yet able to respond, Ardan's hand had been forcefully pulled by Tiana, taking her away from the ballroom. At first, Ardan had intended to escape, but he wanted to know the extent to which this shameless woman had acted, thus making him even more convinced that a person like Tiana should be shunned.

....

Apparently, Tiana took Ardan into the public toilet, not forgetting to lock the door. And right in front of one of the rooms, Tiana pushed Ardan's huge body against the wall.

“Hey, what is— Mph?!”

Ardan glared in surprise, not expecting the reddish-haired woman to kiss him right on the lips.

The maroon-colored high-heeled shoe legs tiptoed, trying to align his height with Ardan's height in order to further deepen his kiss on the sexy lips of the young man he had so long assumed.

It has been a long time, since Junior High, since it was introduced by Nadia first. But his feelings were never reciprocated.

Ardan's ex was lucky to have had a special relationship with him even if only for a short time without feeling. That means, they were once in a special position, so Ardan wants to make them as a girlfriend even though temporarily just for reasons Ardan wants to know what it's like to date. Tiana became jealous of those women.

It was a jerk, but it was the former women who first expressed feelings for Ardan, just like the current situation of Tiana. Ardan had told them first that their courtship would run without feeling, but they still desperate to go through a period of courtship with Ardan until finally breaking up in vain.

“Emph...!”

At first Ardan was about to push Tiana's body away and stop kissing her. But, somehow Ardan started thinking of something interesting to do in unexpected situations like this.

One hand of Ardan slowly coiled around Tiana's slender waist, while another one held the back of the woman's head. This time, Ardan let Tiana kiss him, even she herself returned the kiss even more deeply.

“Engh.... Ah...”

Tiana is made to hiss when she feels Ardan's reciprocal kiss on her lips. He admitted, Ardan is an expert kisser, much better than the men he had been in contact with.

Just this time he felt immeasurable favors just from the kiss of a young man. Maybe because Ardan was the person he liked the most for a long time. So, it feels so good when they just kiss.

Their kissing action only lasted short until Ardan himself stopped it.

Tiana's breath hunts, trying to draw more oxygen after being overwhelmed by Ardan's lip game. Tiana did not expect that her reckless actions would bring Tiana into action that had made her feel floating out of favor.

“Engh.... I-i'm.... I like you, Ardan.”

“I hate you.”

Tiana looked up with blue eyes, staring in confusion at Ardan.

What Ardan did was inversely proportional to the look on his face now. The semi-exotic-skinned beautiful face was so flat, showing no expression whatsoever, indirectly stating that she had absolutely no feelings for Tiana.

There really isn't.
