Let's do it again, Yukino.

Yukinoshita, who almost slipped and fell outside the restroom, immediately understood the situation inside and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Could that guy be stupid enough to hide in the bathtub?

Is that a Tibetan area?

Is that guy really an idiot?

……

…………

You're the idiot!

Minor Snow,

On the other side,

Clutching tightly behind the drawn shower curtain, not daring to move an inch, Haruhi, somewhat weary, retorted to Yukinoshita outside the door.

Do you think I'm a diver? Who would be stupid enough to hide in a bathtub? I'd definitely be discovered no matter what.

Honestly, I'm not that stupid.

With a slightly annoyed look, she glanced out of the corner of her eye at Yukinoshita, who was leaving the bathtub with a satisfied expression and had almost brushed past Haruhi, who was hiding behind the shower curtain.

If you don't use something really real to fool this suspicious Ms. Haruno, she might not be able to resist going to check the bedroom, kitchen, and even the laundry room one by one. After all, she is a true siscon.

It was a flash of inspiration at the crucial moment; otherwise, Haruhi would have almost been discovered the moment Haruno opened the door.

but,

The bathtub filled with water, the abundant foam bubbles, and the rising steam throughout the bathroom caught Yukinoshita's attention.

This allowed Haruhi, who had escaped unscathed by hiding behind the shower curtain, to breathe a sigh of relief.

Turning danger into safety, remaining fearless in the face of peril—that's exactly who we are, isn't it?

Ms. Yang was sitting on the toilet at this moment. The white short skirt she was wearing was slowly taken off, and the parts that should have been exposed were covered by her top. However, after catching a glimpse of the white and tender flesh on the outside of Yang's thigh, Haruhi realized that something was wrong and turned her face to the other side without blushing or skipping a beat.

If anyone tells me again that pretty girls don't need to go to the toilet, I'll smash that guy's head in.

Spring couldn't help but sniffle, secretly swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and inwardly passing the time with constant吐槽 (tu cao, a form of internal monologue or吐槽, meaning to complain or criticize).

Don't look at what you shouldn't see, and don't listen to what you shouldn't hear.

Haruhi never harbored any ill intentions towards Yukino, this beautiful older sister.

Although Haruno's features are somewhat similar to Koyuki's, the two exude completely different temperaments. Koyuki is as cold and aloof as snow, while Haruno is as warm and passionate as the sun. However, Haruhi has no liking for that kind of thorny light.

Moreover, compared to openly admiring Xiaoxue's fair skin, secretly watching the glimpses of his future sister-in-law's body while she was using the toilet, the latter seemed far more humiliating.

As for the scenery I just happened to see, consider it a small perk that interrupted Xiaoxue and my time together.

Ignoring the sound of the rushing water, and silently reciting the Diamond Sutra, I quietly hoped that my sister-in-law would leave the restroom soon.

Outside the door, Yukinoshita seemed to realize that Haruhi had inadvertently evaded her sister's search. Relieved, she returned to the living room.

……

………………

However, according to Murphy's Law...

If something has the possibility of going bad, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen.

And so, just as Chunri had completely let go of her worries, she felt a slight vibration in her clenched hands, a feeling of profound sorrow washing over her.

His phone always vibrates before ringing when he receives a call.

The interval between them was less than two seconds.

Within the time difference of lightning and sparks

He quickly took the phone that he had been clutching tightly in his hand and held it in front of him.

After clearly seeing the name of the person in the contact list on the phone's screen...

Springtime almost coughed up blood.

Teacher Yukino Thyme?

What's with that classical Chinese teacher calling this weekend?

However, Haruhi didn't have time to regret giving Yukino-sensei her contact information in the first place.

A bead of sweat slowly slid down her forehead; it seemed that Ms. Yang was almost finished.

With her phone about to ring and no time to press the power button, Chunri did the following without thinking.

Leaning against the bathtub, the boy slowly closed his eyes and, without hesitation, submerged the ringing phone into the water-filled tub.

With a splash, Ms. Yang, who was holding up her skirt and pressing the flush button, seemed unaware of the crisp sound of water entering her body beside her.

The world remains quiet.

……

five minutes later,

I heard the sound of the bathroom door being closed by my sister-in-law.

Springtime after retrieving my soaking wet phone from the bathtub.

I sat there blankly for a long time.

Then, with red eyes, she kept pounding her chest with her hands, making muffled sounds.

P.S.: Thank you so much for your support!

Chapter Twenty-Six: You, and the feelings you have for me now…

When she received a call from her mother, Ms. Yang naturally didn't tell her that she was with her younger sister, Yukino. Instead, she stuck out her tongue and lied that she was out shopping with her friends.

Yang Nai heard her mother say something on the other end of the phone, and then she stopped smiling, made a shushing gesture to Xiao Xue, and went to the balcony to answer the phone.

After the call ended, Yukino, who seemed to have something on her mind and was still forcing a smile, told Yukino that she was leaving.

Their mother must have had something come up and asked them to go back temporarily.

"Xiaoxue, I'm going home now. Remember to visit Mother when you have time; she keeps mentioning you to me lately."

Standing in the entryway, Ms. Yang, changing her shoes, said something lightly to Xiaoxue without even looking up.

Miss Yang Nai always has a unique way of caring for her younger sister, Xiao Xue.

"I will."

The girl, who had been reborn once, stood in front of her older sister. Understanding the meaning behind her sister's words, she nodded slightly.

Everything was left unsaid.

Looking at her younger sister, who had always been at odds with her but had matured considerably this time, Hino nodded almost imperceptibly.

And so, Ms. Yang left the apartment with the same satisfied smile she had when she arrived.

……

…………

Until the footsteps outside the door gradually faded away,

At this moment, she finally caught her breath, but before she could even sit down, the girl immediately ran towards the restroom again.

She pushed open the door and turned on the bathroom light. In the space where the mist had long since dissipated, she saw the boy huddled in a corner with his head down.

"Your sister has left. You can come out now."

"..."

For some reason, Chunri, who was usually so carefree in front of him, was now looking down and remained silent.

"what happened?"

Curious, a smile crept onto her lips, and without any hesitation, she moved closer to the boy.

But just as she walked to within centimeters of Chunri, a gust of wind blew up from outside the window, and the boy who had been unresponsive suddenly raised his head and reached out to embrace the girl.

As if he were trying to meld the girl's body into his own, the force in his hands unconsciously increased slightly.

The boy's sudden attack only startled her for a moment.

However, Xiaoxue, who was already used to all of this, let the other person embrace her soft body. When she looked up, Chunri's eyes were slightly red, and her breathing was a little rapid.

? ?

Could it be...?

It was as if they realized something embarrassing had happened.

She couldn't help but lightly bite her red lips, a faint blush spreading across her face. She turned and hugged the boy's slightly trembling body, her voice only showing a moment of panic, yet sounding exceptionally gentle.

To be honest, before their rebirth, she was depressed due to her pregnancy and hadn't been intimate with this idiot for almost two or three months, let alone during this period of pure love after their rebirth.

But this is so sudden...

"You idiot, you wouldn't possibly have feelings for me right now...?"

"call……"

Holding Xiaoxue's delicate body tightly, the young man's fair and handsome face flushed slightly, and his breathing became a little faster than usual.

"You know, I'm not used to staying in dark places for long periods of time."

He lowered his head and spoke softly.

He doesn't like the dark, and he's especially not good at staying in a dark space for a long time.

"And at first, I was slightly aroused by your sister's perks, plus the evil fire that rose in my heart when my phone accidentally fell into the bathtub... Um, sorry, although it's a bit too lewd to say this to you, Xiaoxue, you have to believe me that I didn't mean to take advantage of you like this."

The air was thick with moisture, and spring was trying its best to calm the restlessness that kept rising in its heart.
