You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 663

Michelle and Leon were stunned. Aron thought they needed some encouragement so he cheered, "Don't be shy!"

Michelle remained frozen in place. In her ears, the sound of her racing heartbeat became louder than the noise that her friends were making. The room smelled strongly of fruits, snacks, and alcohol. Even so, she could still smell a light musk coming from Leon.

The girl felt like her heart was going to beat right out of her rib cage.

That couldn't happen, could it?

"No way." Michelle's chest heaved as she raised her hand to cover her mouth, her eyes shifting nervously.

The music continued to play. Seated on the girl's right side, Leon heard what she said and felt a little disappointed.

Unaware that Michelle was just trying to repress her feelings of anxiety, he frowned when he saw her raise her hand to cover her mouth.

The man was speechless.

Did he disgust her?

Debra and a few others wondered about that as well. How surprising! Why would Michelle dislike such a handsome man?

What was wrong with her?

However, not everyone had the same thought.

Lydia was also in shock. Aron could be such a troublemaker. It was unreasonable to demand that the two should kiss even if they were not biological siblings.

Fortunately, Michelle refused, and she was not foolish enough to say that it was just a game.

Austin felt relieved and tried to put a stop to it. "Michelle treats Leon as her own brother. Stop messing around," he admonished.

"I agree with Austin. She can just kiss another guy, right?" Lydia remarked. "The next guy in line is...Aron."

"What?" It was Aron's turn to be surprised. But since he only saw Michelle as a friend and treated her as such, he recovered quickly and boldly said, "It looks like I have to sacrifice myself. Come and kiss me, Michelle."

"No." Leon grunted and moved to stand. Austin liked Michelle. Of course he didn't want her to be intimate with another man in front of him.

But he had always liked Michelle from the sidelines. Was there any reason he could use to stop the game? As the others have already said, they were just playing. If people dared to join the game, they also had to be able to admit defeat when they lost.

Leon, however, had an excuse which he used to make everyone see reason.

"I am still here and I won't let you take advantage of Michelle. This game is too much. Her future boyfriend will mind."

Nobody dared to refute that. Aron didn't care either way. "All right."

"You just can't kiss Michelle, can you?" Debra taunted. In reply, Aron rolled his eyes at her.

Michelle remained in her seat, unable to hear anything as she tried to calm down. Eventually, her pulse slowed to a normal rate and she unclenched her fists.

"Here. Drink some water," Lydia offered, pouring a glass for her friend.

Michelle withdrew from the game and sat in the other side of the room to eat. She had a bit of watermelon, some duck neck, and a handful of sunflower seeds. Overall, she tasted a little bit of everything that was on the table—as if eating was the only way she could keep calm.

Leon also sat quietly in the sidelines, saying nothing. He glanced at Michelle from time to time. His expression was thoughtful but it revealed nothing about what he was feeling.

He had been a willing participant in similar games before and it was only reasonable that the losers received consequences. But the moment he heard that Michelle needed to kiss another man, he hated that idea with every fiber of his being.

The thought made his heart tremble as if he was standing at the edge of a cliff and he couldn't see the bottom.

"What kind of guy do you like?" Aron was asking for a friend but he was also curious about Michelle's type. There weren't even any rumors about her having a boyfriend in the last three years.

Michelle seriously thought about it. Then she raised her left hand, folding a finger with each characteristic she mentioned. "He should be good-looking, tall, and long-legged. He must have a pleasant voice..."

"Wait a minute," Aron interrupted. "Are you selecting a trainee? Good-looking, tall, long-legged, and a nice voice. Your standards are quite high."

"I'm not yet finished." Michelle unfolded her fingers and started to count again. "He must be gentle and kind, but he must know how to conjure..."

"And so on and so forth!" Aron couldn't stand it anymore. "You are talking about physical attributes and personality. Going by the qualities you just listed, I can tell that you want someone who is perfect. No such person exists."

"Yes, there is." Michelle smiled sweetly.

Leon was such a person and he had many good qualities that not everyone knew about.

Aron, on the other hand, didn't know that Michelle was describing Leon. Although Aron called Leon by his name, today was their first meeting so he didn't know the man very well.

However, Aron associated the aforementioned qualities with Austin who was still seated on the sofa.

Aron sneaked a glance at the other boy. Austin was tall and handsome. He had long legs and a nice voice. He was also kind, always willing to help his classmates, but "gentle" wasn't a word Aron would use to describe him.

But some people could be expressionless in the presence of others and yet very gentle to the person they liked!

'Maybe Austin is that kind of person.'

Aron gasped, feeling as if he had uncovered a huge secret.

'Michelle is secretly in love with Austin!'
