My love index is at its maximum.

"Okay, I'll go get a bucket of water."

"Thank you, uncle."

Tazaki Tsukasa pointed the fan at the girl on the bed and dripped medical alcohol onto her forehead, chest, thighs, and other areas.

People suffering from heatstroke have elevated body temperatures, and the evaporation of alcohol can achieve a rapid physical cooling effect.

The gas station attendant brought in another bucket of water, which contained two bottles of water.

One bottle contained un-cold salted soda, and the other contained chilled Ramune soda.

“Kikawa-san…” Tsukasa Tazaki reached under her neck and gently lifted her head. “Have some water.”

The girl's soft lips parted instinctively.

A slightly open neckline, revealing glimpses of the collarbone, and white underwear.

As the salted soda entered her mouth, the girl unconsciously craved it, her throat moving slightly.

After feeding her water, gently put her back on the bed.

Running a marathon, the urgency to save lives, visual temptations... due to multiple reasons, I have exhausted too much energy and lost a lot of water. Now I am extremely thirsty.

Open the Ramune soda, gulp it down, and exhale a satisfied breath full of carbon dioxide.

Put the half-finished soda on the bedside table.

Tsukasa Tazaki turned his head, his gaze moving down from Yui Kikawa's face.

A perfect young woman with an impeccable appearance and figure.

Her perfectly developed breasts, sexy waist and hip curves, and graceful long legs—every part of her figure seemed meticulously calculated, displaying a perfect balance of fullness and slenderness, and a slender, well-proportioned physique.

Just looking at it makes my heart race.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the urge to do something, Tsukasa Tazaki wet a towel and wiped away the salt crystals from her body. He also washed her little feet, making sure to clean between each toe.

After cleaning her body, I used a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to clean the abrasions on her knees. It wasn't too serious, and hopefully it wouldn't leave a scar, which would be a real shame.

Bright sunlight streamed into the room, fine dust swirled in the air, and the fan whirred, creating a cool and bright atmosphere.

"Hoo~!"

Tsukasa Tazaki, covered in sweat, looked up to calm his wildly beating heart.

Even with the electric fan blowing, it's still unbearably hot. What kind of weather is this!

He picked up the remaining half-bottle of soda, sat by the window, and listened to the cicadas chirping outside. Tazaki Tsukasa gulped down the rest of the soda and placed the bottle on the window.

After his body cooled down, he ran outside and used the tap water at the gas station to wash off the white salt powder that covered his entire body.

"Young man..." the gas station attendant asked chucklely, "It's really wrong to let your girlfriend get heatstroke. Be careful next time."

"She brought it on herself."

"Did you two have a fight?"

"That's it."

The gas station attendant ran over and cut some flowers from the flowerpot, made a small bouquet, and gave it to him, saying, "Take this and apologize properly."

Tsukasa Tazaki bought another bottle of lemonade at the supermarket. Next door was a shop selling car accessories, and he chose a bear-shaped rearview mirror charm. He threw the bear away and returned to the lounge with the silver chain on his wrist.

I sipped my lemonade while gazing out the window at the world.

The outside world is scorching hot, and everything looks dazzling. The rocks, the sky, and the sea are all white and shimmering. Just looking at them for a while makes your eyes sore.

Time passed slowly.

When she regained consciousness, Yui Kikawa felt as if her head was filled with water, her brain swollen and distended. It took her a while to slowly open her eyes.

The chirping of cicadas drifted in from afar on the wind, but the room remained relatively quiet.

Where is Tsukasa Tazaki?

The blonde girl turned her head and glanced around, seeing Tsukasa Tazaki sitting by the window, idly flipping through a magazine. Sunlight streamed through the glass bottle of marble soda, reflecting dreamlike, vibrant colors onto his handsome face.

There was a wreath on the table next to me; I don't know what it was for.

It's definitely not a gift for myself...

Recalling how fierce he had been to her earlier, Qichuan felt a little guilty and resentful. Not having the energy to think about how to face him, she simply closed her eyes quietly, pretending she hadn't woken up.

The sound of the magazine turning pages gradually stopped.

Then, footsteps sounded.

Qichuan Wei lay motionless on the bed. She felt the boy come to the bedside and reach out to cover her forehead.

"Hmm... why is it still so hot? Didn't it already cool down?"

Cooling down?

Before she could react, the boy dripped a few drops of liquid onto her forehead.

A cool breeze blows.

It turned out to be alcohol...

She thought to herself, "Go on, I can manage on my own. Who needs your care?"

?

You actually dripped alcohol on my thigh?

Qichuan Wei tightly controlled her body, otherwise it would make strange noises.

The tender flesh on the inner thighs is far more sensitive than the forehead.

Some movements... like her toes unconsciously curling up, she didn't even notice.

Next, the boy carefully wiped her body with a wet towel.

Damn it...

When did he unbutton my clothes?

You even reached in to wipe it?

The girl involved is now filled with regret.

I should have just gotten up right after waking up. Now that he's made such a fuss, I feel even more embarrassed.

In the room, the boy was quiet for a while, then began pacing back and forth by the bed, humming a strange song.

Kikawa Yui dared not move and could only continue to pretend to be asleep.

I heard him humming some songs, some I hadn't heard before, and some I had.

Let's make a dog first.

Use a wooden stick and rope

I can call you master

You can have me

Qichuan Wei inwardly despised him.

Singing dirty songs in front of a sleeping girl is utterly despicable!

If she wasn't pretending to be asleep, she really wanted to punch that annoying face.

Time passed little by little.

The room was empty, and every sound he made could be heard clearly. The atmosphere was quite comfortable, and Yui Kikawa couldn't help but think that she might as well take another nap, since she was still a little dizzy anyway.

But I didn't want to fall asleep right away; I felt that this atmosphere should be prolonged as much as possible.

This summer is so strange...

She thought to herself, "Blue sky, sea, sandy beach, fish blowing bubbles, cool colors, a gentle breeze, light filtering through the deep water, and a big boy drinking Ramune soda—it's such a long-lost feeling of relaxation."

After a while, the boy returned to the bedside and sat down.

"You got heatstroke from running. People who didn't know better would think you were participating in the Olympics and aiming for a gold medal."

"I'm a man, would it kill you to give way to me?"

The cool, damp towel was wiped on his forehead again. Qichuan Wei felt that sweat was indeed seeping out on his cheeks. It wasn't very hot before, but as soon as he sat down, he suddenly felt uncomfortable all over, as if all the heat in the room had been concentrated on the bed.

Please... don't touch it.

She prayed desperately that no one would touch the area below her collar, the inside of her thighs, or the soles of her feet.

"That arrogant jerk..."

As she wished, Tsukasa Tazaki did not touch her again, but sat by the bed talking to herself.

"I just don't understand. If you think I'm dead, fine, but why did you have to tempt me to kiss you? Oh, for art? You want to kiss me goodbye on a high stool where people are coming and going? Hey, you're just sick! You're such a tsundere, you deserve to be a loser!"

Kikawa Yui had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Although he sounded like he was talking to himself, there was a vague feeling that he was deliberately saying it to someone else.

"Can't you be a little more ambitious?"

Tazaki Tsukasa got up, washed his hands, and returned to the bedside: "You have to be perfect in everything you do. Where did your perfection go? You can't even pretend to be asleep properly. Don't you know that your toes look cute when they're curled up?"

Qichuan was the only one who shuddered.

He jumped out of bed suddenly, without even putting on his shoes, and rushed towards the door with his head down.

Knowing she would react this way, Tsukasa Tazaki grabbed her right hand. "Come back, lie down!"

"Let me go!"

"You're not going anywhere today, just listen to me."

Who do you think you are?

Qichuan Wei struggled a few times, then turned around, covering her mouth and nose with the back of her hand: "Get out of my way, what right do you have to tell me what to do?"
