Chapter 266 Confession
The cheerful and jumping white little animal trembled as if it couldn't wait to escape from the shirt, and was finally stopped by the black lace fabric, luckily not being completely exposed.

But that was all. The hollow edges that stuck tightly to the fair skin were enough to make Natsume Weichuan's heart skip a beat.

I didn't expect that Sakurai Airi would wear this kind of underwear under her serious business suit.

"There's nothing to apologize for. Just get up quickly." Natsume Weichuan said in an unnatural tone.

He was still thinking about this embarrassing thing, whether he should remind her or not.

If I say it to her face, with Sakurai Airi's personality, she will definitely be embarrassed. But if I don't say it, I'm not an emotionless robot. If I look at her a few more times inadvertently and she reacts, I'll be the one who's embarrassed.

During the time when Natsume Yuikawa was thinking, Sakurai Airi had already stood up again. As expected, she did not notice the difference in her clothes. Her attention was focused on Natsume Yuikawa. She said:

"Then it's settled. We'll go clothes shopping together during the weekend. In addition to the formal wear you'll need for the evening dinner, I'll also buy you a few sets of clothes for everyday use. Just consider it a thank you gift for your help."

"Um"

Natsume Weichuan withdrew his gaze with difficulty and nodded.

With such a pair of beautiful views in front of him, it was hard to spare the time to think about other things. However, thinking that if he refused, Sakurai Airi might suspect that he had ulterior motives, he might as well agree and put both sides' chips on the scale, turning it into a simple transaction.

"Ok?"

Sakurai Airi frowned, pushed her glasses on the bridge of her nose, and said, "Why do I feel that Natsume-kun looks a little unhappy? As expected, is this matter too difficult?"

How can you tell that I’m unhappy? I’m just enduring it, okay?

When Natsume Weichuan looked up at Sakurai Airi, his eyes involuntarily glanced in that direction again.

[It's difficult, of course it's difficult. Pretending to be Sakurai Airi's boyfriend to meet her parents may not only affect your reputation, but also face the possibility of being discovered by Tachibana Miyuki and Mochizuki Maaya. How can I repay her debt of gratitude with just a few sets of clothes? I have to pay more! At the very least, I have to exercise my boyfriend's rights during this period. ]

The tip appeared in front of Natsume Weichuan without any warning. Although he was a little impatient that it prevented him from observing the whole picture, it was undeniable that he was really moved by the suggestion it made at the end.

Thinking of this, Natsume Weichuan suddenly had an idea in his mind. His eyes became firm. He raised his hand without any nostalgia, pointed in front of Sakurai Airi, and reminded her seriously: "Sakurai sister, the buttons of your shirt are unbuttoned."

"Huh? Ah!"

Sakurai Airi was surprised at first, then she looked in the direction that Natsume Yuikawa pointed, and then she let out a loud scream in an instant, covered her body with her hands with a blushing face, and quickly turned her back.

Maybe the voice was too loud, there were footsteps approaching the office outside, knocking on the door, and the person outside asked with concern: "Teacher Sakurai, are you in there? What happened?"

"It's okay. I sprained my ankle accidentally. It will be fine after rubbing it."

Upon hearing this, Sakurai Airi raised her head slightly and shouted back. Because all this happened in a short period of time, she didn't have time to button her clothes. When she turned sideways, Natsume Yuikawa saw some spectacular outlines again.

"Sprained your ankle again? Then please be careful, Mr. Sakurai. If you feel uncomfortable, go to the infirmary. Don't force yourself."

The person outside the door left a word and the footsteps slowly faded away.

"."

Natsume Yuikawa was speechless when he heard this in the office. Was it so common for Sakurai Airi to sprain her ankle?
Sakurai Airi felt a little embarrassed at this time, but her first priority was to button up her shirt and then she turned around with a flushed face.

"Because the store really doesn't have the right size, either the neckline is too tight or the waist is too loose, so this kind of thing happens easily. Sorry, I'll try to get it tailored next time."

Sakurai Airi lowered her head in embarrassment and explained to Natsume Yuikawa.

"Ah."

Natsume Yuikawa responded.

When Sakurai Airi saw this reaction, she was stunned for a moment, then she immediately reacted and covered her hot face with her hands.

Why should I explain this to Natsume Yuikawa? It's embarrassing enough.
Natsume Weichuan watched quietly from the side. Although there were external factors that disturbed the process, this was the result he wanted to see in advance.

Sakurai Airi was given enough time to adjust her emotions. When she was about to raise her face again, Natsume Yuikawa immediately took action, lowering his eyes and looking at the floor in the office, with a look of worry between his brows.

Sakurai Airi was originally thinking about how to change the topic to make the situation less awkward, but when she saw the worry on Natsume Yuikawa's face, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Natsume? Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?"

Natsume Weichuan exhaled slowly, without raising his eyes, and replied in a low voice:
"Sister Sakurai, I suddenly remembered something. Someone once told me that if I don't have a girlfriend before graduation, I will most likely still be single when I'm thirty. I wasn't that worried at first, but now that I have to pretend to be your boyfriend, I definitely can't find anyone else in the short term. If you calculate it this way, it seems that there isn't much time left."

"Well, this is probably unfounded, Natsume-kun, don't worry about it, you see."

Sakurai Airi originally thought it was something serious and managed to avoid laughing after hearing it. However, when she was trying to persuade him, she seemed to get stuck as if she remembered something.

"What are you looking at?" Natsume Weichuan asked when he saw this.

"Nothing."

Sakurai Airi shook her head in panic. She just thought that she was the one who had never had any dating experience before graduation, and it was foreseeable that if she hadn't met Natsume Yuikawa, it would be difficult for her to be single before the age of thirty given her personality.

She suddenly felt like an arrow hit her heart, and then she thought of the urging and nagging she often encountered at every gathering with family, relatives and friends. Sakurai Airi could empathize with Natsume Yuikawa's worries.

"Natsume-kun's worries are not without reason."

Sakurai Airi raised her forehead in confusion, then mustered up her courage, looked up at Natsume Yuikawa with her chest puffed out, and asked seriously, "Natsume, what do you think of my appearance?"

"Why!?"

Natsume Yuikawa was surprised at first, then shy after realizing what was happening. He lowered his head timidly like an ignorant teenager. "Of course Sakurai-sister is very beautiful. That's why time is tight. I'm also afraid that I won't be able to find a girlfriend after my aesthetic standards are raised."

If someone familiar with Natsume Yuikawa was around, such as Mochizuki Maaya, they would definitely boo this poor acting. But Sakurai Airi is different. From the moment Natsume Yuikawa appeared beside her, he helped her solve countless problems. However, the two of them only communicated about study and work, and they only had a superficial understanding of each other's personality.

Therefore, Natsume Yuikawa's previous behavior successfully gained Sakurai Airi's trust, and even now, it was easy for her to accept it.

Looking at the boy in front of her who was confused about the future, Sakurai Airi gritted her teeth and said, "Don't worry, Natsume-kun, you still have me, right?"

"What do you mean?" Natsume Weichuan raised his head and looked at her in surprise.

"Yes."

Sakurai Airi nodded and said, "If Natsume-kun can't find a girlfriend in the future because of me, I will be your girlfriend. Anyway, I'm not good at socializing with the opposite sex other than you, and I'm likely to be single forever. Instead of being urged by others to find someone perfunctorily, at least Natsume-kun makes me feel much better."

After saying that, Sakurai Airi was afraid that Natsume Yuikawa would misunderstand, so she added in time, "I don't mean that Natsume is a spare tire. You are definitely a choice for me."

This word seemed to carry a burning temperature, and when Sakurai Airi uttered it, her cheeks immediately turned red.

Why, this sentence sounds like a confession.

Natsume Yuikawa was also stunned. Originally, he just wanted to take the opportunity to get in touch with Sakurai Airi and finally achieve her ending. But, what was the matter with this sudden confession?

Come to think of it, this was the first time he heard a confession from the opposite sex in person. When he was with Mochizuki Mayaya, everything happened naturally and there was no need for this step at all.

"What do you think?" Seeing that Natsume Yuikawa didn't say anything, Sakurai Airi asked, suppressing her inner shame.

"Of course! I've been looking forward to that day."

Natsume Yuikawa immediately stepped forward, hugged Sakurai Airi tightly, and said, "It's great that Sister Sakurai can understand me."

"Um"

As soon as Sakurai Airi fell into Natsume Yuikawa's arms and felt the other's breath and temperature, it seemed as if all the muscles and bones in her body had gone limp and she couldn't muster any strength.

Is this what it feels like to be hugged by the opposite sex?
Sakurai Airi's mind went blank, with only this thought remaining. She didn't know how long it had been until Natsume Yuikawa let her go and her consciousness, which had floated into the clouds, returned to her body.

"Sakurai-sister, you smell so good. Is it some expensive perfume?" Natsume Weichuan pretended to sniff it with intoxication and asked curiously.

"No way, the employee rules prohibit wearing too heavy makeup, including perfume." Sakurai Airi explained in a voice as thin as a mosquito.

"What's going on? Is there something wrong with my nose? No, let me smell it again."

As Natsume Yuikawa said this, he grabbed Sakurai Airi's hands, put his face close to her neck, and sniffed left and right.

"Ah woo."

Seeing Natsume Yuikawa coming towards her in an instant, Sakurai Airi screamed softly, and her breathing stopped. She stood stiffly in place. In this situation, she recalled the plot in the book that she had heard from others, and her eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

"Natsume, stop smelling it. This should be the smell of shampoo, nothing special." Sakurai Airi's pupils trembled slightly and her heart was pounding.

"Eh, it seems to be true."

Natsume Yuikawa scratched his head, raised his face and still stood there, smiling awkwardly, and said: "But in addition to the fragrance, Sakurai-sister's figure is also very soft."

"Ah ah."

Sakurai Airi raised her hands to cover her face in embarrassment and said defensively, "Maybe I gained weight recently. There's too much fat on my body so it feels so soft when I hug her."

"Not at all."

Natsume Yuikawa forcefully pulled down Sakurai Airi's hands, stared at her panicked eyes, and said, "I think Sakurai-sister's figure is just right now. If she were too thin, I would feel uncomfortable hugging her."

"Oh, stop talking. If you keep talking I'm going to pass out."

Sakurai Airi was praised continuously by Natsume Yuikawa's direct shots, and her steps began to become unsteady. If she hadn't been holding Natsume Yuikawa's hand tightly, she would have been afraid that her legs would go weak and she would have sat on the ground.

Natsume Yuikawa smiled, and this time he did not continue talking. Just as he had said before, Sakurai Airi was really a woman who was very easy to please. Even though the words of praise he said now were the truth from his heart, he actually felt a little guilty inside.

Sakurai Airi noticed the smile on his face and blinked in confusion, "Natsume-kun has never said such a thing before, why are you teasing me on purpose today?"

"No, we're going to your house soon. If we continue like before, Auntie might get suspicious."

Natsume Yuikawa wasted no time in finding excuses. He shook Sakurai Airi's soft little hand and said, "I want you to get used to it in advance. I might have to show off my affection with you in front of your aunt. If you faint from shyness, all my efforts will be wasted."

"Is that so? Then I will definitely work hard!" Sakurai Airi said in a firm tone.

The agreed weekend was slowly approaching, and during this rare rest time, Natsume Weichuan lay comfortably on the bed in the apartment and slept in.

When he woke up, the leaf window was half opened, letting in the morning light. Natsume Weichuan squinted his eyes slightly, bathing in the only relatively gentle sunlight at this time of the day since the beginning of summer. Outside the window, there was the rustling sound of the leaves in the gentle breeze, and from time to time there were a few slightly impatient bird calls.

Enjoying the last bit of leisure, Natsume Weichuan stretched himself, and after waking up, he began to think about his next plan.

I will be visiting Sakurai Airi's house tomorrow. In the worst case, I may have to stay there from daytime until late at night. With such a long time span, I will definitely not be able to hide it from Mochizuki Maya and Tachibana Miyuki, but I can't tell them the truth directly.

Therefore, it is necessary to find a suitable excuse.

I don't know how long I thought about it, when the aroma of scrambled eggs drifted into the room, and then the bedroom door was opened. Mochizuki Maaya, who was still wearing an apron, leaned in. Seeing Natsume Yuikawa sitting on the bed in a daze, she smiled and said, "It seems that I shouldn't have let you sleep so easily last night. You slept for too long at once, and you almost became a fool. What are you thinking about?"
