My second life is a bit strange?

"Don't say anything, I'm fine!" Kaguya said, embarrassed, as she pushed Kaede into the elevator.

Chapter 81 I tried to restrain myself

As the elevator slowly ascended, Kaguya leaned against the corner, her hands clenched into fists in her pockets, constantly reassuring herself.

It's okay since we're just sleeping in the same bed.

[This is something we'll all experience eventually...]

Kaguya didn't come to her senses until the elevator dinged. The elevator doors slowly opened, but Kaede stood frozen in place.

Kaguya noticed that the other person was even more nervous than she was, and found him rather cute. Her face flushed, she tugged at his sleeve and said, "Let's go!"

Upon entering the room, Kaguya saw a bouquet of flowers and a greeting card on the counter.

[This is for my dearest girlfriend.]

Kaguya turned and threw herself into his arms. Kaede wrapped his arms around her waist, and the two quietly felt each other's body heat.

"Thank you~"

After cuddling for a while, Kaguya put her suitcase away and turned around to see the conspicuous bathroom. If she took a shower there, wouldn't she be seen naked?

But I was sweating a lot while rushing to my schedule, and I felt a bit uncomfortable if I didn't wash up.

"This shop has a really nice hot spring, would you like to check it out?"

"Okay." Kaguya breathed a sigh of relief.

The two changed into bathrobes and found the staff member in charge.

"The hot spring has separate pools for men and women, as well as mixed-gender pools, and of course, private rooms, but those are a bit more expensive."

Feng felt a jolt of electricity rush to his scalp; even he, alone in the room, was finding it hard to control himself.

Seeing his lustful expression, Kaguya suppressed her shame and handed the money to the staff member: "Could you please get me a private room?"

"Here are your keys."

After the staff left, Kaguya pinched his nose in annoyance: "Your expression just now was so lewd."

"I didn't expect you to agree."

"Hurry up and stop talking." Kaguya pushed Kaede from behind to a private room. Kaede changed her clothes first, opened the wooden door, and saw a semi-circular hot spring emitting steam.

Many flower petals floated on the water, and there was a round tray with some snacks and fruits on it.

Wrap a scarf around your waist and slowly sit in the water; thirty degrees is just right.

There's a recessed area where you can rest your head and gaze at the distant mountains and the meeting place halfway up the mountain.

The sound of a wooden door being pulled open came from behind him. Feng tensed up, staring straight ahead, frozen in fear.

Kaguya chuckled softly as she clenched her fists and placed them on her lap. She wrapped a towel around her body, bent down to test the water temperature with her hand, and then untied the towel.

She slowly sat down beside him, and the water in the pool overflowed, spilling out along the wooden planks.

Kaede stared straight ahead, his adorable side making Kaguya want to tease him a little.

"Look at me."

Maple stiffly turned her head, but there was no scenery as she had imagined. Kaguya was still wearing a red swimsuit.

You seem a little disappointed?

Hearing Kaguya's teasing, Kaede wasn't annoyed. He put his arm around her shoulder and lay down a little further, only exposing his neck and above.

The two snuggled together, quietly enjoying the night view.

"Why did you fall in love with me in the first place?" Kaguya asked, looking at him.

Feng recalled the smile on his face that he himself did not realize: "I tried to restrain myself. I can't explain why I love you, but our present is the answer."

Kaguya's heart was beating unusually fast, whether it was because she had been soaking in the hot spring for too long or something else.

Suddenly, a black crow flew across the night sky.

She was also a bird, a bird caged in a cage, a bird displayed on a screen.

There was no sky before, but she had one after meeting him. Perhaps the sky wasn't always clear, but she had been saved by his gentleness countless times.

Kaguya looked up at the full moon in the sky: "The moon is so beautiful tonight."

Feng didn't look up, but kept gazing at her: "Yes, the moon is beautiful."

A gust of wind blew by, carrying large snowflakes that danced freely in the air, melting away before they even had a chance to land.

Kaede picked Kaguya up and placed her on his lap, holding her close to keep her warm: "Shh, listen."

The two of them closed their eyes. The sounds of the night were complex: the conversations of people not far away, the rustling of leaves in the wind, and their own heartbeats.

After enjoying themselves for a while, the two changed their clothes, still feeling unsatisfied, and returned to their room to enjoy a big meal.

The simple dish was surprisingly delicious. Kaguya sat on the edge of the bed, her mind a jumble. Hayasaka had given her those instructions repeatedly before she left.

We'll be sleeping in the same bed tonight.

"Shall we go out for a walk?"

"Huh? I just finished taking a bath, and it's still snowing outside." Kaguya hesitated a bit, not because she was unwilling, but because she was worried that Kaede would catch a cold and it would affect the upcoming matches.

"But don't you think walking in the snow is romantic?"

"Ok."

Both of their down jackets are long, so they can just put them on.

After changing my shoes, I went outside and followed a ditch into the woods.

The woods in winter are quieter with fewer insect chirps and more solemn.

After walking for a while, Feng stopped with Kaguya in his hand. Their eyes were only on each other. Without saying much, their lips touched, first cold, then quickly becoming hot.

Even though some snow had accumulated on their heads, they didn't care at all.

On the way back, Kaguya gently brushed the snowflakes from his hair and said, "Do you think we'll end up with hair like this when we're old and gray?"

"of course."

In a corner of the hall, they found an interesting wall with many words written on it in marker, along with signatures below.

If there are any, there's a photo attached next to them.

It looks like a confession wall, filled with people's hopes for the future. I wonder how many people are still together.

"Let's write some too."

Feng pulled her to the front desk and asked for two pens, insisting that she write something first before allowing the other party to see it.

To match Kaguya's height, Kaede bent down and covered her with one hand.

"3, 2, 1!"

They both removed their hands so the other could see the love messages they had written.

I want to be swept up by autumn, carried away by the gentle breeze, the soft white clouds, and finally land in a courtyard filled with maple trees.

Perhaps because she was embarrassed that the other person had seen the love words she had written, Kaguya didn't dare to look up. But when she saw what the other person had written, she was stunned.

Spring blossoms and autumn moon, cicadas chirping and willows still, every smile and frown—all I want is for you.

In comparison, what she wrote seemed somewhat childish. These words touched her heart, and her admiration for him deepened.

The two eventually settled on using pen names.

Back in the room, Kaguya hid under the covers. Kaede turned off the light and tiptoed in, afraid of upsetting the cat beside her.

Unexpectedly, the other party grabbed him and pulled him inside, and the two of them hid face to face under the covers.

Looking at the stunningly beautiful Kaguya, Feng couldn't help but kiss her. Overwhelmed by passion, he lost control, his hand sliding down her neck as he clumsily unbuttoned her clothes.

Chapter 82 First Time Sleeping Together

"Sorry." Maple remained still, supporting himself on the bed with his fingers intertwined with Kaguya's.

"No, that's not what I meant. Please continue." Kaguya blushed and looked away.

He said that, but his eyes betrayed his unease.

"forget it."

"But Feng, won't you feel bad?"

"It's okay." Feng gently stroked her nose with his hand. "There's plenty of time. I'll wait for you patiently. Go to sleep. There's a match tomorrow."

Feng lay down next to her again, putting his arm around her waist.

Kaguya leaned comfortably against Kaede's chest, listening to his pounding heartbeat, and immediately realized that he wasn't as calm as he appeared.

Kaede's lips were close to Kaguya's ear.

"But you'll have to make it up to me then."

He felt the girl in his arms tremble and let out a soft whimper like a kitten.

I managed to fall asleep, but was woken up by my alarm clock the next day.

Kaguya got up and washed up very quickly, but when Kaede got up, she felt something was wrong. She couldn't feel her arm. She poked it with her hand, and ouch!

He felt numb and wanted to die, as if thousands of ants were crawling in his veins. He struggled to stand up, his arms hanging down like a lump of mud.

Kaguya, her face flushed, peeked out from the bathroom: "Turn around, I need to change my clothes." Even though she had been seen naked last night, she was still embarrassed.

Upon hearing this, Feng turned around and searched his hands for good breakfast options nearby: "The competition is coming up later, so let's have something light for breakfast."

"I'll go buy you breakfast." (Novel excerpt: Novel group 255595300)

"Be careful on the road."

Although Feng tried to restrain himself, his gaze still caught a glimpse of a graceful figure through the glass.

Is this what gravity is?

I wandered around the neighborhood, bought a cup of millet porridge and two eggs, and came back.
