Chapter 1053: An Unexpected Surprise

Yela—a very ordinary woman—shouldn't, by any stretch of the imagination, be able to sense Yumo's presence. Yet for some unknown reason, her attention drifted toward the wall behind Satoru's sofa.

As soon as Yela spoke, Fanzi and Yela both froze and held their breath while watching that very spot. Little by little, a timid figure peeked out from behind the wall. It was a black-haired youth in a simple white shirt, looking around seventeen or so. His features were almost too delicate, borderline feminine. Mid-length hair draped across his shoulders like strands of silk. Long lashes cast soft shadows, highlighting bright, clear eyes that hinted at a pure innocence.

His face had gentle lines and delicate features. There was a subtle curve to his nose and a playful tilt at the corners of his mouth. His skin looked pale and smooth, carrying a faintly sweet scent, like a flower bud on the verge of blossoming. At first glance, he could pass for a girl.
