Chris was taken aback, standing blankly with two chicken wings on skewers in front of the barbecue grill. His attention, however, was fixated on Lena's face.
Coming from a prestigious family, he lived like a prince, possessing an outstanding physique and intelligence. He earned numerous merits in the special forces, gaining fame along the way.
He couldn't believe that a girl had rendered him speechless. Yet, there was something indescribably intriguing about this feeling. Secretly, he hoped Lena would respond again.
Suddenly, Toph's hard slap on his back brought him back to reality.
"Bro, bro! Fire! Fire!" Toph shouted.
Chris was startled as he saw the burnt chicken wings and sizzling sparks.
"Man, special forces soldiers like you go through tough training in the wilderness, and now you feel close to burnt stuff?" Toph teased.
Chris was at a loss for words, looking at Lena's expressionless face as she walked away.
He asked Toph cautiously, "Who exactly is she?"
"I don't know much, but she protected Pammy before," Toph replied.
"Is she always this cold?" Chris inquired.
"Yes," Toph said, devouring the skewer. "She said she was born with this resting bitch face. She doesn't like to smile!"
Chris was stunned but couldn't help but smile. He was certain she would be even more beautiful than the albizia flower by the stream when she smiled.
