"Liu Li."

"..."

"Liu Li."

"..."

"Liu Li, it's time to get up."

Raku Sakakihara sat next to her on the floor and looked at Amami Kuriuri, who had half of her face buried in the quilt. After hearing the call, the girl frowned, slowly opened her eyes, and slowly woke up.

At first glance, what the girl saw was a face that gradually turned from blurry to clear in front of her.

"Le...Lejun?"

"Did you sleep?" Raku Sakakibara said with a smile. After she got up, he handed her a glass of warm water.

"Thank you Lejun..."

Snow was falling outside the guest room, and the heating in the room was not turned on very high. After holding the cup and taking a sip of hot water, the chill in the body was dissipated a lot.

Liuli still likes to say the word "thank you" so much.

Even if the relationship between the two has reached such a close relationship, she will still express her gratitude in return when she expresses concern for her.

Raku Sakakibara thinks this is a very cute thing about Ruri.

"Is there anything uncomfortable about Liuli's body?"

"...Lejun still has the nerve to say..." Tianhai Jiuliuli's eyes were slightly averted, her face was pink, and she was a little embarrassed to look at him, but she still held the warm water in her hand.

"That means it's uncomfortable?"

"...Just a little bit."

"Can you still walk on the road?"

"This is okay."

...

Tianhai Jiuliuli nodded slightly while holding the cup. After the simple conversation, the air fell into silence.

The girl stared at the reflection in the cup for a while, and sneaked a look at him from time to time.

Sakakihara Raku found it a bit funny. Even though Liuli was in such a relationship with him now, he still acted as cautiously as if he was falling in love for the first time.

"Suddenly shy?"

"...Where, how can there be..."

Sakakibara moved closer to her, almost touching her body as she sat up.

His approach allowed Tianhai Jiuliuli to smell some of his scent. It was probably these scents that reminded her of what happened in the afternoon... She began to become a little embarrassed.

Because this is my first negative distance experience.

Tianhai Jiuliuli can still clearly recall the feeling of embracing each other completely and feeling each other strongly.

I could really feel him clearly at that time.

Never had that depth of clarity...

Sakakihara noticed the details of Liuli's movements and called her name again to reassure her.

"Yes, Liuli, just tell me what's on your mind. If you want me to say it, it's normal for you to be shy."

"Then Lejun and Qiyue...are they like this every day?"

Sakakibara was stunned for a moment before replying. He thought she was jealous again, "No way, and July has been the one taking the initiative recently."

"...I don't mean to blame Lejun, I just feel...doing this every day seems...seems...is good..."

"ah?"

"without!"

Tianhai Jiuliuli immediately panicked, anxiously shaking his palms in front of his chest, blushing, "Me! I don't mean that I like the afternoon... but... I simply think the experience is not bad...

.Also! It’s not that the experience is good, it’s just...just——”

Sakakibara laughed out loud, "Liuri, look at you, you're worried again."

I understand, Sakakibara understands this feeling quite well.

Most likely it's because the relationship between the two has become closer, and now Liuli is embarrassed to recall what happened at that time.

I am embarrassed to admit it because of my shame, and I am embarrassed to deny it because of my honest personality.

Sakakihara Raku didn't think it was a big deal. He was shy about this kind of thing once or twice, and got used to it after five or six times.

But seeing a girl like Ruri so embarrassed that her cheeks turned red because of him, Sakakihara Raku really thought she was cute:

"Liu Li, you are even incoherent."

"Really...? I just..."

"Just shy."

"Shy..." Tianhai Jiuliuli seemed to have seen through her mind, "Well... yes, yes... I am a little bit shy."

Liuli is shy, but she's not the kind of person who doesn't dare to admit she has an idea.

This is her first time.

Sakakihara knew that she would feel a little uneasy because of this, so he put his hand on the back of her hand, dug his fingers into her palm, slowly opened the gaps between her fingers, and finally held them together to reassure her again.

Ruri had already adjusted herself, but this movement reminded Ruri of the scene where the two of them had Sakakihara at the bottom and her at the top, interlocking their fingers and looking at each other.

The girl's face suddenly turned redder.

"Liuli, don't be shy, okay? Be more generous."

"I...I also want to be more generous."

"Well," Raku Sakakihara thought for a moment, "Since Ruri is still so shy, why don't we do it again now and I can help Ruri overcome her shame."

"rogue..."

"What?" Sakakihara Raku didn't hear clearly and leaned his ear towards her.

"Big hooligan!"

I heard it clearly now.

"Is Liuli's belly still feeling warm?"

Now the inner side of Tianhai Jiuliuli's cheeks immediately became so red that it looked like it was burnt. She was so ashamed that she was really angry. She puffed up her face, picked up the pillow and pushed it hard on his face, and called him a big hooligan.

"Liuli, Liuli, listen to me..."

"Don't listen! Lejun is too gangster!"

Sakakibara smiled and took off the pillow from his face, stretched out his hand to hug her, then hugged her and leaned against his shoulder, quickly apologizing.

"Okay, okay, Liuli, there's no need to be so ashamed. I just made a joke."

"...How can you joke about something so shameful!"

"Isn't this just to make you feel less shy, Liuli?"

"Too shy."

"No way, you were not ashamed to be angry just now. You hit me with a pillow just now and it was very good."

Tianhai Jiuliuli squinted at him and found that he was holding a pillow and trying very hard to make himself laugh.

I feel soft...

Sakakibara was happy to see that she was still boiling on the side, and her cheeks were still as hot as if she had a high fever, so he tried to put his face against hers, sharing a little of the warmth on her cheeks with himself.

After going back and forth like this, Tianhai Jiuliuli completely lowered his defenses.

"...Then Lejun is not allowed to say those words...I'm so embarrassed."

"Of course! Whatever Liuli says is what it is, but Liuli, now I am no longer an outsider. From now on, I will be Liuli's family for the rest of my life. In the future, this kind of thing will often happen in the afternoon. There is no need to be too ashamed. In the future

We often take baths together."

"What, what do you mean... often..."

"Liu Li is saying that you don't want to be like me in the afternoon anymore? Do you have to take separate showers in the future?"

"...This...I never said this..."

Sakakihara Raku could see that Ruri was trying very hard to adjust her mentality.

It was obvious that she had a good skill at controlling her mentality, and she calmed down in no time.

Tianhai Jiuliuli was recalling what happened between the two of them in the afternoon, the scenes that happened between the two of them.

Although it is indeed shameful...

But the feeling of being happy, being considerate and warm by the other person, being hugged by the other person, and having the emptiness in your heart filled by the other person... is still great...
