Chapter 10: A Lot of Water

The living room was silent, with only the sound of Mochizuki Maaya's even and steady breathing to be heard.

The soft light of the fluorescent lamp fell on her body, illuminating the girl's slightly wet long hair and peaceful face.

It's rare to see her so well-behaved. It would have been even better if she wasn't pretending to sleep to avoid questions.

Natsume Weichuan's mouth corners slightly raised, and he barely managed to resist the urge to play a trick on her.

"You'll catch a cold if you sleep like this. Let me help you to the bed."

He didn't mean to ask her what she meant. After saying this, Natsume Weichuan pretended to put his arms around her waist, wanting to pick her up.

Unexpectedly, during the process, Mochizuki Maya opened her eyes, stared into his eyes without blinking and asked: "You come with me?"

"Of course not. Regardless of whether you are willing or not, the bed is not big enough for two people to sleep in. If you insist on squeezing in, I'm afraid you will have to lie on top of me." Natsume Weichuan replied.

"It's not impossible."

Mochizuki Maaya said without hesitation.

"."

Natsume Yuikawa's face darkened immediately. He reached out and tapped Mochizuki Maaya's smooth forehead, saying, "You want me to be your cushion, right? Sleep on the bed by yourself properly."

Maybe she used a little more force this time, and a hint of grievance appeared in Mochizuki Maya's eyes.

She struggled to break free from Natsume Weichuan's embrace, then lay down on the sofa in a posture of pretending to be a jerk, covered her face with it, and said in a muffled voice: "I want to sleep here."

Upon hearing this, Natsume Yuikawa glanced at Mochizuki Maya, finally stopping at her knuckles which had turned white from gripping the sofa so tightly.

Maybe she felt that she had already been in enough trouble today, so she insisted on sleeping on the sofa.

Having personally experienced the girl's stubbornness, Natsume Weichuan knew that if he continued to insist it would probably have the opposite effect, so he nodded in agreement with her.

"Okay then, I'll go get you a blanket."

Walking into the bedroom, Natsume Yuikawa took out a quilt from the closet. When he returned to the living room, Mochizuki Maya was still lying on the sofa in the same position.

[Cover your face and act like an ostrich? You quickly realized that this was a great opportunity. Although you couldn't see the other person's angry face, Mochizuki Maaya wouldn't show such emotions, so it can be said that there was no loss. You almost got a stronger visual effect for no reason. ]

Given the content of the hint, Natsume Yuikawa's gaze naturally glanced somewhere towards Mochizuki Maaya.

She was only wearing a loose shirt, and she lay down in a hurry without tidying herself up properly.

Therefore, the hem of the shirt has been rolled up, and the scenery that was only a glimpse before is now displayed before the eyes without reservation.

This is so foul.

Natsume Weichuan instantly felt the extinguished flames flare up again. Before being completely consumed, he exhaled and then spread the quilt over himself.

Startled by the sudden cool breeze blowing from behind, Mochizuki Maaya subconsciously clamped her legs together, raised her head and saw Natsume Yuikawa rushing towards her with a quilt in her hand.

The cold wind dissipated, the quilt fell on her body, and warmth gradually surrounded her.

Mochizuki Maaya pinched the corner of the quilt, stared at Natsume Yuikawa who was inexplicably panting for a while, and whispered, "Thank you."

"No, it's okay. It's as it should be."

Natsume Yuikawa stood up with his hands on the sofa, took a deep breath, and said to Mochizuki Mayura:
"Don't bury your face in the sofa when you sleep. If something happens, you don't want me to get into trouble after helping you, right?"

"Ah."

Mochizuki Maaya responded, rustled a few times in the quilt, and then lay on her back.

After doing all this, she clamped the quilt tightly and curled her whole body into it, leaving only half of her face exposed, secretly staring at Natsume Weichuan.

Seeing that she looked like she was playing a whack-a-mole game, Natsume Weichuan suddenly wanted to laugh. He said, "I have other things to do. You go to bed first. Good night."

Raising his hand in a farewell gesture, Natsume Weichuan turned and left, but just as he took a step, he felt a resistance from the corner of his clothes behind him.

She looked back in confusion. Who else could be the source of that resistance except Mochizuki Maya? She had already sat up from the sofa, stretched out her hand and firmly grasped the corner of Natsume Yuikawa's clothes, and only let go when Natsume Yuikawa looked back.

Haven't you given up yet?

Seeing this, Natsume Weichuan said helplessly: "Don't even think about it. The sofa is even more crowded than the bed. I can't stay and sleep with you."

"Who said I wanted you to stay?"

After being rejected by Natsume Yuikawa several times in a row, even Mochizuki Maya felt a little embarrassed.

She rolled her eyes at him unhappily, and then her expression returned to her usual indifferent state.

She stared at the hamburger on the coffee table and whispered, "I will leave here when the rain stops. If you regret it before then, it's not too late."

As expected, he still didn't give up.

Natsume Weichuan listened attentively for a while. There was still the sound of rain outside the window. Considering the soundproofing effect of the glass, the rainfall was probably not small.

After thinking for a while, he nodded to Mochizuki Maya.

"Got it, let's go to bed first."

When the rain stops, who knows who will regret it.

After saying goodbye to Mochizuki Maya, Natsume Yuikawa returned to the bedroom alone.

The excuse he made just now was not false, he did have other things to do. In addition to the necessary washing up before bed, he also had to prepare for transferring to another school.

Sitting at the desk, with the soft light of the desk lamp, he packed the documents he would need to bring tomorrow into his bag.

After confirming that everything was correct, he stretched out in relaxation.

Tomorrow is the official start of school. I hope that after arriving in the new environment, everything will be a little smoother.

"Cyclone! Joker!"

Just as he was imagining the future, his cell phone rang.

Who would call at this time?
Natsume Weichuan took out his cell phone, saw the word "store manager" on the lit screen, and immediately answered the call.

"Manager Tachibana, is there anything you want to talk to me about that you called me so late at night?" asked Natsume Yuikawa.

"Natsume, it's time to get off work now. We've known each other for quite some time, so there's no need to be so polite. From now on, you can just call me Tachibana or Sister Miyuki."

Tachibana Miyuki's gentle words came from the phone. She did not answer Natsume Yuikawa's question, but corrected his address first.

"Okay, then."

Natsume Yuikawa paused for a moment and tentatively called out, "Sister Tachibana?"

"Eh~"

Tachibana Miyuki's tone sounded quite satisfied with this, as if one could see her beautiful smile through the phone.

She went on to say, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with me looking for you. It's just that you didn't call me after you went home, so I was a little worried about you."

So that's why, Natsume Weichuan nodded secretly.

I had lied to Tachibana Miyuki that I was sick before, and now that the weather was like this, it was only right for me to report that I was safe after returning.

Thinking of this, Natsume Weichuan immediately apologized, "I'm so sorry to have troubled Sister Tachibana. I just had dinner and I feel much better now. I'm about to go to bed. How is Sister Tachibana doing?"

Tachibana Miyuki smiled meaningfully.

"I don't know if your place is big, but I have a lot of water here."
