Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

"Yes, yes, it's Chinese New Year, the more people, the more lively it is!"

Kiana was dressed warmly, with her two thick, unfashionable braids still on her head. Her smile was simple and honest. Mei, who was next to her, also smiled and said, "And coincidentally, we were also planning to go to the hot springs together this afternoon. After talking to Bronya, we found out that it's the same place."

"What a coincidence?"

With a look of surprise on her face, Yu opened her mouth and ate the cake that Seele handed her with her fork, then took a sip of the drink that Bronya offered, making Sirin frown repeatedly.

"You're living a pretty good life, aren't you?"

"Well, it's alright, it's alright."

"Tsk, scumbag."

Seeing Xilin's adorably disgusted expression, Nangong Yu couldn't help but tease her. He sat back a bit, then smiled and patted his legs, saying, "There's still room here, want to come?"

"?"

A question mark appeared on Celine's forehead, then her face flushed red, and she roared, "Get out of here!!!"

"Oh dear, don't be so temperamental. What if you can't get married in the future?"

"Then I'll stay single forever!"

"It's such a pity that she's so cute."

"Hmph, don't even think about it. Even if you praise me, I won't consider a scumbag like you."

"Did I say it was me? You're quite the dreamer."

"Get out of here!!!"

The two bickering quickly amused everyone. Seeing that Sirin was so angry that she wanted to rush up and bite someone, Kiana, who was enjoying the show, quickly pulled her sister back and comforted her, saying, "Alright, alright, Yu, don't bully Sirin anymore."

"Okay, let's not argue with kids."

Xilin was furious at the sight of Xier's feigned helplessness. Then, Nangong Yu hugged Xier's waist and, to the little girl's slight surprise, lifted her onto his lap.

“If you don’t sit, there are plenty of other people who can. It’s a bit crowded anyway, so Seele can sit here.”

"Ugh...we're still outside..."

Seele's face flushed slightly, and although she said that, her body betrayed her by leaning back a little, which amazed Kiana.

"Ah Yu, you're really something else. First it was Seele and Bronya, then that European girl, what's her name, Love, Love Green Sia? Never mind, never mind, and now suddenly a fiancée appears. And you still say you don't understand love?"

And this fiancée is really beautiful; Kiana almost drooled when she first saw her.

Although it might seem a bit scummy, Seele and Bronya didn't seem to have any objections, so they didn't need to say anything. They were living happily, so what business was it of anyone else's?

"I really don't understand," Nangong Yu replied, sounding aggrieved, which made Kiana roll her eyes.

"Fine, fine, you don't understand, you don't understand. You just don't want to teach me, honestly, I'm not going to steal your wife."

One should not covet a friend's wife; how could Kiana not understand such principles?!

With a disgruntled pout, Kiana gulped down the cake from the plate, only to choke nearly to death.

"My lord, I can't finish eating."

Just as Mei was frantically trying to give Kiana water, Kaguya, who hadn't said much, pushed her half-eaten cake towards him, rubbed her stomach, and looked at him weakly, saying...

"Then I'll eat it, I'm actually a little hungry."

Seeing her husband finish the rest of her cake in just a few bites, Kaguya smiled happily.

She wasn't that she couldn't finish the food; she just wanted to try out the kind of scenario from anime and games where the girlfriend can't finish her food and the boyfriend helps her finish it. It felt rather strange.

After making a ruckus for a while, the group resumed their enthusiastic shopping in the mall.

When Nangong Yu realized that he not only had to rack his brains to critique the clothes chosen by the six people, but also had to help them carry their things, he suddenly realized that he probably shouldn't have followed along.

......

After testing the water temperature, Nangong Yu stepped into the hot spring pool, leaned against the pool wall, and let out a long sigh of relief. It was finally time to relax.

However, looking at the empty hot spring pool where only she was, Nangong Yu sighed again.

In the original plan, Nangong Yu and his three companions had only booked one large private room, and the large hot spring in the courtyard was a perk for all four of them.

Unfortunately, once the group expanded to seven people, Seele and Bronya naturally stopped mentioning the previous events and instead took Kaguya with them to Kiana's room.

Honestly, wouldn't it be too crowded for six people to be together? Why not just share two of them? They really don't know how to make good use of resources. He's supposed to be a gentleman, but he can't do anything right.

should.

On the other side, Kaguya, wrapped in a bath towel, was quickly surrounded by Kiana and Sirin, who were full of curiosity. They kept asking her all sorts of questions, but Kaguya didn't find them annoying at all. Instead, she responded with great interest. Soon, after saying something, all three of them, including Mei who was eavesdropping, had flushed red faces.

Seele and Bronya, on the other hand, lingered in the shower area for quite a while.

"Bronya, are you not finished washing yet?"

Seele sat on the small stone bench, feeling her bottom getting numb, but Bronya, her sister, remained seated beside her.

“My hair is much longer than Seele’s.”

Bronya glanced at Seele and said meaningfully.

"Then, Seele, help Bronya wash up."

As she spoke, Seele quickly stood up and deftly helped her rinse the foam off her hair from behind. After a lot of effort, she finally managed to clean up her beautiful silver hair.

"Phew, okay."

Just when Seele thought Bronya was finally going to go to the hot springs, her next action stunned Seele.

"Thanks, Seele. You go soak in the hot springs. I'm going to Rain's place."

"Ugh?"

This, this is not right.

Seele reached out, but only grasped at thin air. She watched as her Bronya walked to the door, put on her bathrobe, turned back, and winked at her with a teasing look in her eyes.

Bronya has done this so many times already. If she still can't figure out Seele's little schemes, then she might as well quit.

Kiana and the others are all here, and Seele doesn't have the guts to act openly. Since that's the case, she'll accept this opportunity without hesitation!

Chapter 87 Beautiful Hot Springs

pat, pat, pat.

The crisp sound of footsteps on the wet stone pavement echoed in the quiet courtyard, instantly rousing Nangong Yu, who had been feeling drowsy and lethargic from being alone.

Opening her eyes and raising her head, what came into view was a long leg extending from the absolute territory, with a round and full thigh, a tight and slender calf, and below that were those soft and delicate feet.

The smooth instep was as beautiful as jade, radiating a captivating light. The delicate toes curled slightly as they gently touched the water's surface, creating ripples.

The small movement seemed like a test; after feeling the water temperature, he stepped his whole leg in, the sound of rushing water flowing in his ears.

This foot shape...

"Bronya?"

Without answering immediately, Bronya gathered her long, smooth hair, which Seele had just arranged, with one hand and held the thin towel around her chest with the other. She stretched out her body and slowly sat down beside him, her fair shoulders resting casually on his body. He, in turn, wrapped his arms around her slender waist, feeling its warmth and delicacy.

"Hmm~ Surprised?"

The warm spring water enveloping her body and the support beside her made Bronya feel quite relaxed, both physically and mentally. She breathed a sigh of relief, rested her head on Yu's shoulder, and her voice carried a hint of laughter.

"A little, I thought it would be Seele who came."

She bluntly stated her thoughts, and unsurprisingly received a beautiful, alluring eye roll in return.

His raised arm splashed water, and Bronya playfully slapped him, but instead of pulling back, she placed her hand on his body, her fingertips gently circling his chest. The tingling sensation stimulated Yu's heart, causing his arm around Bronya to slowly climb towards the peak.

The sudden stimulation made Bronya's breathing become rapid, and she pressed her body even closer to her lover beside her, squeezing more of her full and soft flesh against Rain's body.

"Seele always sneaks ahead, can't you let me take the lead just once?"

Run away secretly?

There was no sneaking away; it was just that Seele felt sorry for her brother.

Muttering something to herself, Nangong Yu smiled and said, "Oh? Tell me about it."

Upon hearing this, Bronya smiled smugly and then recounted her series of actions, especially emphasizing Seele's somewhat bewildered expression, her clear laughter echoing above the hot spring.

Nangong Yu chuckled, hugged Bronya tighter, and kissed her on the cheek: "Aren't you afraid that Seele will come after you after the hot springs if you do this?"

"I'm afraid of Seele?"

As if she had heard a joke, Bronya laughed and playfully tapped his chin a few times before leaning close to his ear and whispering, "In that case, with Seele sandwiched in the middle tonight, will she even have time to be angry?"

The seductive whisper was incredibly alluring, and Nangong Yu couldn't help but imagine what would happen that night. She coughed twice, her face looking unnatural, and slowly said, "Then there shouldn't be any problem."

......

As dusk settled, the charming young girls gathered in the hall, all watching Bronya and Nangong Yu arrive late.

Having just finished soaking in the hot spring, both of them still had a slightly rosy complexion. Bronya, in particular, looked radiant and full of energy, which amazed the girls.

Kiana leaned closer, a playful glint in her eyes, and raised an eyebrow at Bronya: "Hey, watch your step."

Unlike Seele, who would shyly hide when teased by an acquaintance, Bronya looked directly into Kiana's eyes without fear, flicked her long, flowing hair behind her head, and replied with a smile, "Don't worry, no one will call you 'Auntie' in the next few years."

"Okay, okay, but I won't call you 'Auntie,' calling you 'Sister' is fine."

Kiana gave her a thumbs up, then nudged Nangong Yu's waist with her elbow, making him grin helplessly.

To be honest, being watched by so many beautiful girls was quite stressful, especially with Seele's undisguised resentful gaze, which made him feel like he was being pricked by needles.

He pushed Bronya forward, letting the two sisters face off first, while Nangong Yu went to Kaguya, who was smiling, patted her head, and asked with a smile, "How does it feel?"

“Very comfortable!”

Kaguya rubbed her hand against her husband's palm, clearly in a good mood.

"I am already very satisfied to be able to soak in the hot spring and chat with my friends."

"As long as you're happy."

As soon as she finished speaking, Nangong Yu saw Huiye lean closer, gently tug at his sleeve, and then look up into his eyes, saying softly, "However, I hope that next time I can be with my husband."

Well, so it turns out you weren't completely indifferent after all.

"No problem at all."
