My love index is at its maximum.

The headlights swept across the tree trunks along the roadside one by one. The asphalt road surface had long since disappeared, and the lights jumped up and down with the potholes on the road. The drizzle occasionally pattered against the windshield.

“Hey, Sachiko, look over there…”

"what?"

"Look more closely, isn't there a hot spring resort?"

Listening to their conversation, Yui looked in that direction. After Cullinan turned a corner, she indeed saw a hot spring bath with a brightly lit sign.

Kurisu Kuri ordered, "Stop up ahead!"

After the car came to a stop, she and Sachiko Tono got out of the car and entered the reception hall of the hot spring resort. After more than ten minutes, the two of them got back into the car with smiles on their faces.

"Xiaowei, Mom has a surprise for you!"

As soon as they got in the car, before they could even settle in, Kurisu Kawa hugged her daughter tightly and excitedly shouted in her ear, "Mommy has booked the entire hot spring bath for tomorrow night! We're going to soak in the hot spring with Tsukasa tomorrow! There's a mixed-gender bath there!"

Qichuan Yui rubbed her throbbing temples: "What kind of surprise is this..."

The scene of mixed-gender bathing is just embarrassing!

After driving along the mountain road for another ten minutes or so, passing through several deep forests, the Cullinan finally arrived at its destination, in front of a large sanatorium.

The driver stopped the car, jumped out without turning off the engine, registered his appointment with the guard at the entrance, and then the barbed wire gate slowly opened. After returning to the car, the driver drove into the sanatorium and soon stopped in a villa area with more than a dozen two- or three-story buildings.

After the engine was turned off, a heavy, oppressive silence descended upon us.

Kikawa Yui rolled down the car window and looked towards the entrance of the small building.

Because it was too dark and no lights were on, the details of the small building were not clearly visible. Only the dark outline emerged against the backdrop of the forest. The boy opened the door with an oil lamp and then stood in front of the eaves, which was a few steps high on the wooden stairs, and saw it.

The oil lamp cast a flickering shadow, and his figure resembled an illustration from a Victorian novel.

With a "plop".

Yui Kichikawa could clearly hear the sound of her heart pounding.

With his hand shielding his eyes from the light, Tazaki Tsuyoshi bowed slightly and said, "Welcome to my humble abode."

After saying that, he raised his face, a magnificent smile spreading across his face as he gazed ahead.

It was a perfect, flawless smile. When it appeared on the face of the refined and handsome young man, it was enough to make any healthy woman feel hot and blush.

Chapter 341 The First Night Probably Won't Be Peaceful

"Why don't you turn on the light?"

"The substation caught fire this afternoon, and the maintenance personnel are still inspecting it."

"So, tonight is a candlelight date?"

"If Auntie says so, then it must be so."

Hehe~!

Kurisu walked to the steps and stretched out a hand.

Tsukasa Tazaki glanced at her briefly.

She wore a beige sweater under a belted double-breasted coat, and a very ordinary wool skirt. Her only jewelry was a pair of small earrings, making her look like a well-mannered senior college student.

Kurisu beckoned to him: "Isn't Tsukasa planning to let Auntie in?"

Tsukasa Tazaki bent down slightly, took her hand from the eaves, and led her up.

Upon reaching the door, Kurisu stretched and, looking slightly pleased, held onto Tsukasa Tazaki's hand, her shoulder intentionally or unintentionally brushing against his.

"Vixen," Yui Kichikawa muttered under her breath.

A smile bloomed on Kurisu's lips: "Thank you for the compliment!"

At this moment, her demeanor transformed from that of a female college student to that of an elegant young woman; the word "graceful and noble" truly suited her perfectly.

"Stop teasing Xiaowei."

Tsukasa Tazaki smiled and offered a word of advice, then looked at Sachiko Tono.

Compared to Kurisu, Sachiko, while not exactly elegant and dignified, was still quite charming. Her face was beautifully maintained, and her limbs were slender and alluring. Her bangs were neatly swept to one side with a hair clip, and she wore a silver bracelet on her wrist. Her attire was increasingly clean and sharp, giving her a more and more powerful businesswoman vibe.

"I'll have to ask Tazaki-kun for help for the next two days."

Sachiko Tono walked up to him and hugged him with open arms.

"Leave it to me." Tsukasa Tazaki gently put his arm around her waist.

"I'm all ready," she whispered in Tsukasa Tazaki's ear. "To be more specific, I'm going to give you a wonderful time these next couple of days."

"expect!"

He gently pinched her incredibly elastic buttocks twice, then released his grip, picked up the oil lamp, and walked down from the eaves.

"Humph~"

Qichuan Wei wrinkled her nose and turned her little face away.

Tsukasa Tazaki looked at her with amusement.

The older brother stood motionless with his backpack on, his face as gloomy as a cloudy day, his brows furrowed, and his blue jeans were stained with mud.

Of the three, the blonde girl was undoubtedly the most beautiful. She was the kind of girl who could directly awaken a boy's most beautiful fantasies about love—ethereal, refined, noble, and pure.

Tsukasa Tazaki craned his neck and brought his face close to hers: "Don't you have anything to say to me, Yui?"

Not a single word!

Kikawa Yui shook her head, her expression stubborn.

“But I have one.” Tsukasa Tazaki reached out and wrapped his arm around her slender waist.

"Let go!" Yui Kiseki pushed his chest slightly, staring at Tsukasa Tazaki with her clear blue eyes, cold and stubborn.

"I miss Yui so much." Tsukasa Tazaki smiled, pulling his neck back slightly to meet her gaze. "Don't worry, it won't be long before I can take the princess from the castle and abduct her from the king's side. Even if it's evil or something unconventional, I don't care."

"Ok?"

Kikawa Yui blinked, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

“My aunt is that despicable king!” Tsukasa Tazaki whispered in her ear.

"Pfft~"

Kikawa Yui couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She immediately suppressed her anger, maintaining a tense expression that said, "I won't go with you so easily."

"Hey, hurry up, you guys!" Kurisu Kawakami urged impatiently from the eaves.

"It'll be ready soon." Tsukasa Tazaki glanced back and continued to hold his older brother's slender waist quietly. His older brother gradually became more compliant, raising his hands to hook around his neck. Surrounded by the warm light of the oil lamp, the two looked at each other tenderly.

Looking at her alluring lips and caressing her smooth, glossy skin, he suddenly moved his lips forward.

"Ugh!"

Yui Kishikawa's eyes widened in shock.

"You...don't...take it back..."

At first, she struggled a few times, but soon, as always, she was lost in the sweet kiss and couldn't control herself.

Even when Tsukasa Tazaki wanted to end it, she still held him tightly.

"...Brother, they're still waiting." He had to remind them.

"Ok?"

Yui Kikawa suddenly came to her senses.

Her face flushed red, she bit her lower lip and shoved Tsukasa Tazaki away: "Who told you to kiss me? You're asking for it!"

"As expected of a typical tsundere..." Kurisu looked at her daughter with interest, her tone sarcastic. "When she was kissing her just now, she probably forgot that her own mother was there. Now she's threatening her fiercely, haha..."

"Who did Xiaowei learn this personality from?" Tono Sachiko asked with a maternal smile. "She's so cute, I can't help but want to pinch her cheeks and make her treat me like that."

"You two... shut up!"

Kikawa Yui was so embarrassed that her toes were practically digging through the soles of her shoes. She glared at the two people on the eaves, her eyes radiating murderous intent.

The oil lamp cast a fiery red glow on her long, golden hair, making her delicate face appear even more alluring.

"Let's go back inside." Ignoring his older brother's threatening gaze, Tsukasa Tazaki forcefully wrapped his arms around her soft waist. "Don't worry, brother, I'll protect you once we're inside!"

"You're the one bullying me..."

A plaintive murmur drifted from her soft, blonde lips, carrying a rather endearing air of submission.

Once inside, Tsukasa Tazaki lit the large kerosene lamp on the table, and the flame illuminated the room.

Kikawa Yui looked at it curiously.

The living room is spacious and the furniture is simple, bright, and elegant.

There was a large dining table and several wooden chairs. The sofa in the middle of the living room was large and had a comfortable firmness. On the round table next to the sofa was a reading lamp, with a half-read copy of "Rashomon" lying on it.

There was also a larger bookshelf against the wall, filled with many books.

The spines of the books are very old, damaged from being thoroughly flipped through.

"The books here are sold like this."

When Tsukasa Tazaki noticed that Yui Kikawa's gaze was fixed on the books on the bookshelf with curiosity, he explained, "There's only one bookstore in the sanatorium, and it hardly ever gets new books. They're all secondhand books that have been passed down among the patients."

"It's quite peculiar, but it feels pretty good." Yui Kirikawa nodded understandingly.

Kurisu took off her high heels at the entrance and went into the house barefoot. She slumped onto the sofa in a very flirtatious manner, and beckoned to Tsukasa Tazaki with her finger: "Tsukasa, come and give your aunt a massage, okay? I still can't forget the wonderful feeling I had last time."

massage?

Did you give my mom a wonderful massage?

Kikawa Yui immediately raised her foot and pressed it heavily on Tazaki Tsukasa's shoe: "Tell me, when did you massage her?"

"...?" Tsukasa Tazaki looked completely bewildered.

When did you give your aunt a massage?

He has no recollection of it at all.
