If waiting is exhausting, then take the initiative and go meet it head-on...
The dim starlight shone down slowly, making the girl's fair cheeks appear even more pure and moving.
Her eyes closed tightly, a demure look of anticipation gave off the fragrance of youth, soft, aromatic, sweet.
After zoning out for just a moment, Haruka Yuzan quickly came to his senses and pinned the girl against the wall, ready to take initiative and A her.
But he hadn't expected Chiba Shimizu to dodge back, neatly avoiding Haruka Yuzan's approach.
Looking at the girl in front of him, Haruka Yuzan grinned, "That's not fair, you just kissed me, and adding the one from this afternoon, you owe me two now!"
Seemingly reminded of the scene from the afternoon, Chiba Shimizu's face turned red for no reason, her cheeks flushing on both sides, turning her head shyly away, not daring to look at the boy.
Please, teasing the cool beauty is really quite fun, okay!! New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novelꞁire.net
Especially when seeing the other party revealing a shy, out-of-character expression, it gave one an incomparable sense of satisfaction.
Now, Haruka Yuzan had exactly that kind of mentality toward Chiba Shimizu.
"Chiba-san, have you been waiting here for me all this time?"
"Classmate Haruka, sometimes being too confident isn't a good thing, like right now..."
Chiba Shimizu lifted her head, her clear eyes filled with a bit of resentment.
"It's not about confidence in myself, just stating the facts, Chiba." Haruka Yuzan gently lifted the young lady's delicate chin with his hand, his fingers caressing her jade-like smooth skin, sleek and refined, feeling wonderful to the touch.
"Today, you kissed me twice on your own initiative, you'll have to pay them back, you know!"
"Pfft! So shameless, reaping the benefits and still acting cute."
Looking at the unabashed boy in front of her, Chiba Shimizu murmured a curse and broke free from his embrace,
"Me kissing you is your honor. If you feel at a loss, then I simply won't do it anymore."
Her head held up proudly, the cool eyes carried a hint of arrogance.
"Chiba-san, you... are you acting spoiled with me?"
Seeing Chiba Shimizu about to turn and leave, Haruka Yuzan was slightly stunned and took a moment to react.
A high-and-mighty lady who can act spoiled... Simply too cute!!!
Making such out-of-character gestures, one simply couldn't hold back!!
"You, don't flatter yourself!! Who, who is being spoilt with you!!"
Chiba Shimizu's face blushed as she cast a scornful glance at him and turned to leave the place.
Watching the girl about to leave, Haruka Yuzan quickly reached out to grab her wrist.
"Hmm? Aren't you going back?" Chiba Shimizu frowned, having already waited for Haruka Yuzan; if they didn't leave now, Sister Reiko might start calling.
After all... it was already late, and moreover, since she hadn't returned to the villa after coming out from the Otome Family, so... Reiko Onodera and the others have been under the impression that Chiba Shimizu has been with Haruka Yuzan all this time.
"There's something... I need to discuss with you?"
"What's the matter?" Chiba Shimizu frowned, a bad premonition rising in her heart.
Haruka Yuzan hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Well, Chiba-san, what do you think of Yumeko?"
The abrupt question made Chiba Shimizu narrow her eyes subconsciously, as if recalling the conversation she heard outside the room that afternoon, her expression cooling down, the atmosphere, which was just warm moments ago, became chilly in an instant.
Although bringing up this topic now might not be very timely... since it was bound to happen in the future, it was better to check the young lady's reaction in advance.
"I mean, what's your impression of Yumeko?" Without waiting for a response, Haruka Yuzan asked again tentatively, "Just asking casually, since your relationship with Otome was so good before..."
"Whatever you're going to do, it has nothing to do with me, and there's really nothing between me and Otome, so don't overthink it."
After a brief silence, Chiba Shimizu finally spoke slowly, her tone revealing that she found it difficult to choose between Haruka Yuzan and Otome Yumeko.
Once the rational and proud lady, faced with such a choice, could she be in such distress and hesitation too? She still hadn't been able to clearly recognize her most genuine feelings.
"But, I think, it's better to discuss this matter with you..." Haruka Yuzan hesitated for a moment before continuing slowly.
Chiba Shimizu's expression was unreadable as the soft light from the villa shone through the glass, casting a gentle glow on her beautiful and delicate face, giving her a look of indifference.
"Um... Otome... wants to move into the villa and live there for a while..."
"Mr. Haruka, Shimizu, you're back?"
Inside the villa, Reiko Onodera's eyes lit up with surprise as she saw the two returning, "It's time for dinner, go wash your hands."
Finished speaking, madam showed a sweet and gentle smile.
The dining table was already set with a rich dinner, and from the kitchen, one could occasionally hear the chirpy voice of Misaki Saki, interspersed with the bustling sounds of Arisugawa Hoshina. Did the three of them prepare tonight's dinner together?
"Yes, Sister Reiko, we're back."
Haruka Yuzan, having changed his shoes at the entrance, quickly saw the lovely lady coming to greet them.
