Kasumi Takahara stared at Ito Koshitomo in a deathly silence, her eyes filled with unspoken sorrow. At their meeting, it seemed as if countless grievances were solidifying, only to vanish in an instant into a murmur.

"Zhi-kun...am I a complete failure...?"

Ito Koshichi raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears that were squeezed out of Takahara Kasumi's empty eyes. His fingertips traced the curve of her soft face and reached back to caress her slender neck. With a little force, Takahara Kasumi's delicate body, which had already been drained of strength, leaned forward and fell into Ito Koshichi's arms.

Throwing down his umbrella, Ito Kozue tightly embraced Takahara Kasumi, seemingly trying to offer her some comfort in her cold embrace, gently stroking her wet hair with his chin.

His words were filled with unprecedented tenderness as they gently escaped Ito Koshino's lips: "Kasumi, from now on, I'll take care of everything."

"..."

The rain continued to fall, drifting in the dim light, the air thick with moisture, and then the rain intensified...

"Shh..." The trees could no longer withstand the onslaught of the heavy rain, and their yellowish leaves fluttered down.

"Waaah!" The rain soaked Gao Yuanxia's hair and clothes completely, but it couldn't wash away the pain in her heart. Gao Yuanxia cried loudly, "I didn't even care about their betrayal! Why! Why did they still do this to me? Why did they still hurt me?...

The sound of raindrops falling into the puddles gently plucked at my heartstrings, while Gao Yuanxia's heart-wrenching cries quietly blended into the night along with the torrential rain.

..................

Everything has its end. When Ito Kozuki carried Takahara Hazuki back to the small rented room, the heavy rain also subsided.

"Beep~ Beep~"

Standing in the entryway, looking at the damp floor and the cool water seeping from their clothes, Ito Koshi frowned. He looked down at Takahara Kasumi, who was quietly burying her head in his hands, saying nothing.

“Kasumi…” Ito Koshito touched her head, lifted her damp, sticky hair, and gazed into her lifeless eyes. “You need to take a hot bath and get some rest, or you’ll catch a cold.”

"..."

Frowning, Ito Koshichi understood her inner pain, but he would never allow Takahara Kasumi to alleviate it by harming herself in this way. Slightly bending his knees, Ito Koshichi reached down with one hand, slipping it under her beautiful legs clad in black stockings, and forcefully lifted her up in a princess carry, leading her towards the bathroom.

The sudden action also helped the lifeless Gao Yuanxia regain some sense of reality.

"Stop, my lord..."

"Don't move. Now, do as I say!"

The small bathroom was still somewhat dim, even with the lights on. Takahara Kasumi was forced to sit on a small stool by Ito Kozue.

"Crash..."

Ito Koshito was filling the bathtub with hot water, which had only been used a handful of times, while taking out various bath products and other items.

"Xia, wash your body with the shower first, and then take a bath in the bathtub after the hot water is ready. I'll go and prepare some clean clothes for you. Although they are some of my clothes, I hope you won't mind."

The heat released by the hot water gradually created wisps of steam, and in the dim light, the constantly busy shadow of Ito Koshitoki danced on his numb face.

"Plop, plop..."

That silent tenderness was like a faint flame in the abyss, rekindling Gao Yuanxia's heart, and her cold body gradually felt a touch of warmth.

A glimmer of light returned to Gao Yuanxia's eyes as she watched Ito Koshitomo's figure emerge from the bathroom. She reached out her small hand and gently pulled out his equally wet pants, murmuring softly, "Koshitomo-kun..."

"Yes! I'm here."

Turning back to gaze at Gao Yuanxia's helpless face, Ito Koshito slowly squatted down, meeting her gaze.

"Zhi-kun... tell me, am I a terrible mother?"

"If you were truly awful, why would I have fallen for you?"

With a gentle push from his calves, Ito Koshi leaned forward, his forehead lightly touching Takahara Kasumi's, their noses almost touching, his eyes fixed on her.

Feeling the warmth emanating from the boy next door, Kasumi Takahara's shattered heart seemed to be pieced back together by this gentleness. However... her original heart had changed, becoming one where only Ito Koshitomo remained.

A sweet feeling seemed to well up from within, and Gao Yuanxia couldn't help but smile again. The dimly lit bathroom seemed to brighten a little more because of her radiant smile after the rain. Her eyes curved like crescent moons, with only traces of undried tears remaining.

"Stop, my lord!"

"I'm here."

"Let me be your lover!"

"Ok?"

“Hmm~!!!”

Ito Koshito was stunned, his eyes widened, and he stared at her intently.

"Since they all wish for me to be like this, then I will grant their wish, and..." Her beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and although her face was somewhat pale, the flush on her cheeks made her appear even more pitiful, "And, I also want to become Zhijun's woman completely~"

Chapter 84 A Portrait of a Beauty in the Bathroom

"I want to be your woman completely~"

"Xia..."

Overwhelmed by surging emotions and yearning for comfort after her trauma, Kasumi Takahara met Ito Etsu's increasingly intense gaze and gave him a sweet kiss.

"Hmph~!"

Inside the bathroom, as the hot water came into contact with the air, invisible steam began to rise quietly, like a warm and moist veil enveloping the two of them.

The hazy water molecules gradually seeped in, carrying warmth, and slowly, the blood began to boil, churn, and flow throughout the body.

On the damp black stockings, Kasumi Takahara could already feel the vibrant, excited blood of Ito Koshitomo, which was drawing out the moisture hidden deep within.

"Boom~"

Her eyes, as clear as autumn water, shimmered with light. Gao Yuanxia gazed intently at Ito Etsutoshi's face, her cherry lips slightly parted, her breath as fragrant as orchids.

"Zhi-kun, my legs are a little sore~"

"Hehe~" Looking at the beautiful woman's flushed face, Ito Kozue was somewhat intoxicated and chuckled, "Is it the wetness that's uncomfortable~ or... the 'burning' pain from the scrape I got when I fell~"

Her face grew increasingly hot, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and Gao Yuanxia was a little shy, but mostly happy, saying haltingly, "All...all..."

With a wicked grin, Ito Kozue leaned forward, bringing his breath close to Takahara Kasumi's ear and exhaling deeply, showering her ear with his hot breath.

Then he opened his mouth and gently took her small, blushing ear into his mouth.

"Well... dear Miss Xia, would you like me to help you take off your stockings?"

"Um......"

Releasing the beautiful woman's ear, which was covered in a sticky silver thread, Ito Koshito gently withdrew.

The broken silver thread brushed against Gao Yuanxia's face, making her pretty face even hotter. Feeling the warmth and moisture by her ear, Gao Yuanxia's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and in the flow of spring, she revealed a mature and charming demeanor.

Crouching on the floor, Ito Koshiki lifted up two small, dark feet. It seemed as if her slender ankles had been captured. The soft little feet sensed the threat, and her toes uneasily clenched together, like a little black cat trying to hide its fleshy ball, curling up into a ball.

Gently holding the quirky little toe, following its delicate curves, Ito couldn't hide his affection and gently kneaded it. The silky stockings were now damp and felt sticky to the touch.

"Hmm~!"

A tingling sensation, like an electric current, coursed through her sensitive nerve endings, sweeping across her entire body from her tiny toes. Her pearly teeth gently bit her soft, red lips, and Gao Yuanxia opened her alluring eyes, which were already veiled in a misty haze as she gazed coquettishly at Ito Koichi's handsome profile.

'It's so beautiful!'

'Zhi-jun... I'm so lucky that you've taken a liking to my bloated and ugly body~'

"Stop playing around, it tickles!"

Somewhat regretfully, I put down the black-stockinged jade feet I was holding. Although Ito Koshizumi had a more effective way to relieve the itch, one that went directly to the stomach to help relieve Takahara Kasumi's itching, the censors wouldn't allow me to write about it, so there was nothing I could do. o(￣▽￣)d

Following the curves of her voluptuous thighs encased in black stockings, Ito Koshizumi gently pinched the edge of the stockings that left a fleshy mark on her soft, mushy thighs.

"Xia, straighten your legs..."

"Hmm..." Upon hearing this, Gao Yuanxia obediently stretched out her straight, black-stockinged legs. The black stockings rubbed against each other as she moved, making a series of soft sounds.

"Shasha~~"

With a little force, the black stockings that clung to the skin were pulled back, leaving wet streaks on the delicate skin. In the hazy light, they shimmered with a crystal-clear luster, like the first snow at dawn.

"Stain~"

Slowly, the black stockings were removed, revealing a pair of snow-white, plump thighs. The skin seemed so delicate it could almost drip moisture. A gentle pinch revealed a layer of soft, elastic flesh on the plump thighs.

Raising her head, Ito Koshiki smiled as she looked at Takahara Kasumi. Her gray dress, damp from the wet fabric, clung to her perfect curves, outlining her stunning figure. In the distance, one could vaguely see the slight bulge in Takahara Kasumi's belly.

If it weren't for that blue cardigan worn over it, it would have looked really tacky.

wrong......

This actually makes it even more astringent!

Before she knew it, her disheveled coat had slipped down to her shoulders, revealing her smooth, delicate shoulders as if covered by a thin veil, adding a touch of allure.

Her delicate, fair collarbone was exposed, with a few stray strands of chestnut hair clinging to it, which quietly slipped into the full, rounded gaps.

"Gulu~"

Gao Yuanxia glanced furtively at Ito Etsutoshi, only to find her eyes meeting his.

His burning gaze clearly revealed his longing for her, and a blush quickly spread across Gao Yuanxia's pretty face, even reaching her neck.

Gao Yuanxia shyly met Ito Koshito's gaze, her large, watery eyes filled with tender affection for him. She shyly straightened her alluring figure.

'Zhi-kun... seems to really like it here...'

He licked his slightly dry lips, his burning gaze seemed to be ignited by a raging fire, and the hot blood in his body was boiling even more, as if he had reached another level and was about to burst out of his clothes!

Gao Yuanxia gently bit her red lips, and her soft and intellectual voice sounded like a bewitching spell in Ito Koshitomo's ears.

"Stop, my lord!"

"My skirt is wet too, could you help me take it off as well?"

Her tone was full of the shy charm of a beautiful woman, which made Ito Koshino somewhat intoxicated.

In the hazy mist, Gao Yuanxia, ​​sitting on a small stool, looked like a plump lump of jelly, making Ito Koshito's mouth water and unable to resist wanting to taste it.

"...Okay!"
