Warmth that seemed to melt people came from all directions, wrapping her up, caressing her body, and absorbing her fatigue.
Starfish unconsciously became more relaxed, and his body slowly slid down.
"Wow! Cough cough cough cough..."
The moment she sank into the water, she suddenly woke up, flopped and sat upright again, coughing constantly due to the water.
Relaxed too much...
After coughing for a while and feeling relieved, Haixing lay down on the edge of the bathtub again, with one hand hanging outside.
The overflowing water flows along the smooth and delicate arms.
"So comfortable..."
I don’t want to go out at all.
This is the first time I feel so comfortable taking a bath...I want to melt in the bathtub.
Starfish closed his eyes and relaxed again.
"It would be great if I could always live here..."
She unconsciously expressed her thoughts and opened her eyes again.
Fortunately, she was the only one in the bathroom.
No movement could be heard outside.
"Just kidding..." She said to the air and sighed softly.
Even if the owner of the apartment is her former stepmother, this is not her home.
She was just a guest who was invited to stay for a few days.
"..."
Getting rid of this annoying and meaningless thought, Haixing turned around in the bathtub and leaned against the edge.
His bathtub was so big that she could sit sideways and straighten her legs without being restricted.
She came to take a bath to relax...
Hey, that doesn’t seem right.
She seems to have been driven to take a bath by Shangzi?
Forget it, never mind...
Starfish shook his head, cleared away his distracting thoughts, continued to enjoy the hot water, and filled the blanks in his mind with the beautiful memories of the day's wandering.
"..."
And recalling his slightly tough behavior in the Guanyin Hall of Hase Temple, and the warm words in her ears, she unconsciously tightened her legs and twisted them gently under the water.
Moving.
"Ugh... disgusting..."
After a trembling daze, he ended his delusion and soaked for a while before Starfish came out of the bathtub.
I wiped the fogged mirror, and the blonde girl reflected in the mirror still had a little red cheeks.
"It took too long..."
Without wearing glasses, she leaned closer and stared at herself for a while, then dried her body, put on her pajamas, and took a towel to wipe her hair.
"I don't know if the takeout has been delivered... I'm a little hungry."
After coming out of the bathroom, there was still no movement in the living room.
"The pizza is here..."
As soon as she walked back to the living room, she vaguely saw Naruse sitting up straight and covering his legs with something.
Shangzi was lying on the sofa and moved his body a lot forward.
Both of them looked a little confused.
"..."
Starfish narrowed his eyes and stared at them for a while.
The white thing on his leg just now seemed to be Shangzi's thigh...
"What are you doing?"
With her feet removed from Naruse's legs, Naoko sat up, pulled down her skirt, bent down again, picked up the pantyhose she had just taken off, and put them aside.
"My legs are a little sore, Chunhai is massaging me."
"Ahem..."
Naruse bowed slightly and looked at the balcony, "That's it."
After staring at the two people for a while, Haixing didn't say anything. He sat down between them and wiped his hair.
The three of them were silent for a while.
"...The pizza hasn't been delivered yet."
"We talked for fifty minutes, so it will take at least an hour."
"Oh."
Starfish continued to wipe her hair.
Shangzi sat back on the sofa, holding the ball of silk stockings in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Shangzi, don't you go take a shower?"
"Ah..."
She came back to her senses and said, "Well, I'm going to take a shower now."
After looking at Naruse again, Naoko got up and went to take a shower.
Naruse sat for a while, then stood up and left the phone with Haixing.
"The takeaway will be here later, remember to answer the phone."
"Eh?"
"I'm a little tired, go back to the room and lie down for a while."
"Oh..."
Haixing wiped his hair, watched him return to the room, and curled his lips again.
Can't you just spend some time alone with her?
Also, was that a serious massage just now...
"Starfish——"
Shangzi's voice suddenly came from the bathroom, "Did you drain the hot water?"
"Ah..."
Starfish's face turned red, and she raised her voice and replied: "Well... I forgot to wash my body, so I went in to soak. After soaking, I let it go."
"Oh." Shangzi didn't ask any further questions and turned on the hot water again.
Almost twenty minutes later, the cell phone on the table suddenly rang.
"Telephone...takeaway!"
Haixing completely forgot what Naruse said just now, picked up the phone and was about to send it to his room, but found that the door was locked.
"Eh... locked up?"
She was a little unbelievable.
Naruse quickly came over and opened the door.
"The takeout has arrived? Can you just pick it up?"
He took the phone, answered the call, said a few words to the delivery man, and then hung up.
"The sushi and desserts have arrived. The delivery person said they can't come up and have to go down and get them themselves... What's wrong?"
He found the starfish staring at him.
"Why lock the door?"
"..."
Naruse was silent for a moment, then turned and walked out, "I'm afraid you might come in suddenly and affect my sleep."
"Who will go in suddenly?"
"That's hard to say."
Naruse put on his shoes and found that she was following him, "You want to go down too?"
"No way?"
"Just in pajamas?"
"...It's not like I'm not wearing any clothes."
Naruse glanced at her again, "Whatever you want."
The two of them took the elevator down together, and when they got downstairs, Haixing still didn't follow him out, but waited beside the elevator.
Naruse went out to get sushi, and just when he returned to the elevator, his phone rang again.
"Well, it's me. Is it here? I understand. I'm just downstairs."
After hanging up the phone, he pushed the sushi to her, "Pizza is here too."
He went back outside and continued to wait.
After waiting for a while, Haixing saw a figure hurriedly walking in outside the apartment, handed the takeaway in his hand to Naruse, and left in a hurry.
He will come in soon.
"It's a foreigner..."
"Eh?"
"She doesn't speak Japanese very fluently." Naruse took the sushi just delivered from her hand, "She must be an international student working part-time."
"Oh." Haixing didn't care at all.
After walking into the elevator and returning upstairs, Naruse cleared the table in the living room, opened the takeaways and put them on the table.
Haixing reached out for a piece of sushi, but he opened it with a snap.
"Shangzi hasn't come out yet."
"...I'm already hungry!"
Naruse looked at her, "Are you really hungry?"
"..."
I'm not hungry, I just want to try it.
"Really."
He looked at her again and said nothing.
Haixing took this as acquiescence, stared at him, slowly stretched out his hand, picked up a piece of sushi, and put it into his mouth.
"Well——"
"How does it taste?"
“It’s delicious!”
Naruse smiled briefly.
"If you are really hungry, eat first. Shangzi should be out soon."
"Yeah."
Starfish licked his lips and looked at the bacon pizza beside him.
"Is that okay?"
"No."
"..."
She still took a small piece and picked it up, but he just watched and didn't stop her.
How awkward...the two thought to themselves.
After a while, Shangzi came out from the bath.
"Has it been delivered?"
"Well, come and eat."
"Okay."
She walked over and Naruse got up to pour the drink.
As they passed each other, they both paused, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Juice?"
"Okay..."
After pouring three glasses of juice for herself and the two girls, Shangzi returned to the living room and already had a piece of pizza to eat.
“It’s delicious.”
"Eat slowly." Naruse picked up a piece of salmon sushi and put it in his mouth, "It's still early."
I have a day off today, so I will take a day off tomorrow.
