Volume 2: Chapter 204: Hayasaka Ai: Things I don't understand... please teach me, young master (6k)

"Woof—woof woof woof—!"

Under the silent night sky, the third fierce barking sound rang out tonight.

The security personnel, alerted by the barking, rushed over, calming the unusually agitated sheepdog while quickly and skillfully checking the surrounding area.

"What's going on? Why is Big Black so excited tonight?"

"I don't know, Captain. We've searched the area several times, and there's absolutely no sign of any outside intrusion."

"What about the sensors in the monitoring room and at the main villa? Have any alarms been triggered?"

"No, everything is normal, there are no abnormal signals."

"That's strange, it can't be..."

As the group chatted, puzzled by what they were seeing, the sheepdog barked even louder towards the main building of the villa, its collar tightening around its neck.

Everyone instinctively looked up again, following the direction of the dog's barking.

In the darkness of night, the outline of the villa's roof appeared serene and peaceful under the moonlight, without any sign of anything amiss.

Of course, that's only from their perspective.

In a dog's sensory world, which is far more acute than that of a human, the "culprit" is completely blended into the thick darkness of the night, almost becoming one with the shadows.

After successfully arousing its alertness for the third time, it rested peacefully high up, leisurely preening its wings, as if silently mocking the futility below.

"Alright! Stop yelling!"

The security captain, bewildered, could only attribute the anomaly to the dog itself and reprimanded it severely.

The dog let out a pitiful whimper.

At that moment, Hayasaka Ai, wearing a coat, came to the courtyard with a stern face: "What exactly is going on? This is the third time tonight. I need an explanation."

Her long, golden hair, which she usually kept neatly tied up, was now flowing smoothly over her shoulders, making her lose some of her daytime competence and aloofness, and giving her a touch of girlish tenderness and vulnerability.

However, this is only an illusion based on appearance at first glance.

None of the security personnel present dared to show the slightest disrespect or contempt to the head maid who nominally represented the will of Lady Kaguya Shinomiya and actually controlled many of the internal affairs of the villa.

"I'm so sorry, Ms. Hayasaka!" The captain immediately bowed respectfully: "It's probably...it's probably because Dahei ate something bad last night and isn't feeling well, so it's been a bit restless!"

Faced with this young girl, he ultimately didn't dare to utter such a vulgar guess as "maybe it's a dog."

"Since it may be sick, it should be taken to the vet immediately, instead of being left to bark here and disturb the peace."

Hayasaka Ai's voice remained steady, revealing little anger, but every word carried undeniable weight.

“The young lady has a series of important schedules tomorrow and needs plenty of rest. If the continuous noise disturbs her and causes her to become listless, and she does anything that damages the image and demeanor of the Shinomiya family tomorrow… not only you, but I will also be implicated and punished.”

She coldly swept her gaze across the crowd, her words carrying obvious pressure, causing the people in front of her to break out in a cold sweat.

Are you afraid? Of course I'm afraid!

The Shinomiya family has extremely strict rules, but the treatment they receive is top-notch. In today's Japanese society, it's getting harder and harder to make money. I finally found an easy, respectable, and well-paid job here. If I get fired for such a small thing, where can I complain?

"Yes! We understand! We'll handle it immediately! Ms. Hayasaka, please go back and rest! We promise there will never be a next time!" The captain and several of his men bowed deeply, their voices filled with fear.

"..."

Having achieved her goal, Hayasaka Ai said nothing more, only glancing one last time at the Doberman Pinscher that was being controlled by a leash, before turning and disappearing into the shadows of the porch leading to the main building.

The remaining security personnel breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took the dog, almost dragging it away from the area.

The courtyard returned to silence, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind and the faint chirping of insects in the distance.

Not long after, a shadow darker than the night itself silently and swiftly swept across the path that had been closely guarded by the dog.

This time, there was no warning barking.

With the help of God's perspective, Yuan Qianye avoided any potential exposure and successfully arrived at the maid's window with almost no risk.

The window is open.

It's only a little over a meter high, which is much easier to climb over than a fence.

With a slight push of his palms for support, he used the momentum to nimbly jump and went straight in.

"Squeak-"

With a slight sound, the window was gently closed from the inside, shutting out the night breeze and dim light from outside.

Before Yuan Qianye could even turn around completely, a soft body rushed towards him from the side.

A faint, sweet fragrance wafted into Yuan Qianye's nostrils.

Yuan Qianye took her hands, which were tightly wrapped around his lower abdomen, and smiled as he felt her for a moment before prying her hands away and turning to face her.

Moonlight streamed in through the gaps in the slightly open curtains, outlining her figure in her thin nightgown and her strikingly bright blue eyes even in the dim light.

Hayasaka's breathing was a little rapid, her chest rose and fell slightly, her long golden hair was disheveled, and a few strands clung to her cheeks, which were slightly flushed with excitement.

"You really came..."

Because Ai-chan's tone sounded somewhat unreal, almost like she was talking in a dream, Minamoto Chiya was amused.

He brushed her hair aside, his fingertips tracing her eyebrows and eyes, and finally cradled her cheek.

Hayasaka Ai tilted her head affectionately, pressing her cheek even more intimately into his palm.

"Of course, we already made an appointment, didn't we?"

"Um……"

"If you miss me in the future, or if I want to love you, let's meet like this."

"...!"

This sentence broke through Hayasaka Ai's defenses, which were based on "reserve."

She nodded vigorously, unable to resist any longer, and pressed herself against his chest.

The force was so great, it was as if it wanted to merge with him.

Her hand slid under the hem of his shirt and wrapped tightly around his waist!

They hadn't seen each other for quite some time since their passionate kiss, which practically confirmed their relationship.

In addition, she's been so busy with work lately that she hasn't had much time to reward herself, so naturally, she's accumulated quite a bit of hormones in her body...

The longing and emptiness that had accumulated in my body had long since reached a critical point.

Rather than simply watching his recorded videos through a cold screen, or finding solace in listening to his voice messages late at night.

Without a doubt, the moment when he himself is truly present within her reach, able to embrace, touch, and feel each other's body temperature and heartbeat, is a thousand times more real and beautiful!

She eagerly looked up at him; his usually calm and composed blue eyes were now shimmering with a misty light.

His figure was clearly reflected inside, along with an almost overflowing desire and invitation that could no longer be concealed, so intense it was almost scalding.

Yuan Qianye really wanted to tell them that they didn't need to rush. They had already come this far, and the two of them obviously had a whole night to spare.

Whether they're chatting, sighing, and pouring out their hearts to each other, or getting even closer and doing more exciting things together, they can take their time and not rush things.

But the maid's hands, now carrying an awkward yet bold sense of exploration, began to wander restlessly over his back, clearly ignoring his words.

Meeting her wet gaze, Yuan Qianye's reason surrendered on its own.

He lowered his head and moved closer.

The two first gently touched forehead to forehead, feeling the temperature of each other's skin.

Then their noses nuzzled intimately, their breaths mingling.

Then, their cheeks touched, and the warmth of their skin brought a slight shiver.

The two, who were extremely restless, finally came together even more intimately.

The maid's arm naturally wrapped around his neck, gently pulling him lower his head further.

Her response was still somewhat clumsy and awkward, and she even bumped his teeth in her haste and panic.

But in Gen Chiyo's eyes, such clumsiness was so real and adorable, far more touching than any skillful technique.

It doesn't matter if she can't breathe properly; he will teach her gradually over time.

When their lips parted, Yuan Qianye had no choice but to hold the already unsteady maid tightly in his arms.

He used his strength to lift her up horizontally.

Hayasaka Ai gasped softly, but her arms wrapped even tighter around his neck, burying her face in the crook of his neck, breathing in his fresh, slightly sweaty scent.

He carried her to the large bed in the center of the room.

As he bent down to gently place her on the bed so he could get away, Hayasaka Ai's arms around his neck suddenly tightened, and her legs unconsciously wrapped around his waist, clinging to him like a koala, giving him no chance to leave.

"If possible, I'd like to take a shower first," Yuan Qianye chuckled helplessly and affectionately.

The maid's room has a private bathroom and toilet; given this feature...

He explained, "I just came from helping out at my family's dining room, and I'm covered in the smell of cooking oil from the kitchen."

The maid didn't mind at all: "It's okay, it smells great."

Yuan Qianye was a little embarrassed: "The kitchen was very hot, and I sweated a lot."

“That would be even better…” She raised her head, her watery blue eyes looking straight at him, filled with undisguised infatuation and possessiveness. Her words were so bold that they made Yuan Qianye’s ears burn, and something else… felt hot as well: “I like Qianye’s scent… the stronger, the more real… the better…”

"..."

Seeing that he didn't answer, Hayasaka Ai tightened her arms and legs even more affectionately, and at the same time, she pulled him towards the soft bed with a little force, her intention was all too clear.

Yuan Qianye finally understood that the maid in this state had been overwhelmed by her long-suppressed longing and emotions, and was probably devoid of any rationality or restraint.

This was not quite what he had originally expected.

In his mind, this clandestine rendezvous where he secretly sneaked into the maid's boudoir might carry a touch of thrilling taboo, but it should be more about the warmth and excitement of a long-awaited reunion.

When he arrives, she might offer him a cup of hot tea that she has already prepared, with a shy joy.

The two might be a little awkward and reserved at first, chatting quietly about their recent situations.

Then, under the pretext of admiring the simple yet elegant layout of her room, he would naturally approach her, slowly dissipating the slight distance that had grown between them over time.
