In crossover anime, who isn't a childhood friend?

She went from being on the verge of death, as if her consciousness was about to leave her body, to finally falling peacefully asleep in a half-dreaming, half-awake state, embraced by someone.

Time slipped by quietly, the night outside the window gradually faded, and a hazy glimmer of light appeared on the horizon.

At five o'clock in the morning, the bedroom was still quiet.

Hayasaka Ai was curled up in Gen Chiya's arms, fast asleep.

Yuan Qianye didn't feel very tired.

If I had to say something, it would just be that I have some lingering unsatisfied desires.

It's like a starving person coming to a restaurant and only getting a small portion of salad appetizer.

But it doesn't matter. Seeing Ai finally relax and fall asleep in his arms, seeing the long-standing gloom between her brows seem to have been soothed a little, seeing her finally able to sleep peacefully, that's enough.

More importantly, after that night, they were inseparable from then on.

In the future, we can meet whenever we want without any restrictions.

Looking at the gradually brightening sky outside the window, Yuan Qianye knew that he had to leave.

Once all the servants in the villa have started working, with so many people around, it will be much more difficult for him to leave without revealing anything.

He shifted slightly and looked down at her in his arms.

His left hand, which was being supported by Ai under his head, was already slightly numb.

Not only that, her entire body was wrapped tightly around him like vines.

One arm was wrapped around his waist, and one leg was unceremoniously draped over his leg, her whole body pressed against him in a way that was almost like being embedded in him.

Among Minamoto Chiya's women, Hayasaka Ai seems to be the most prominent in terms of this octopus-like clinginess once she falls asleep.

When Saeko falls asleep after intimacy, she is usually satisfied just to be close to him and feel his presence and body temperature.

Her good upbringing and manners meant that even during her most relaxed moments, she would subconsciously adjust her sleeping posture to avoid burdening him; it was a gentle and restrained form of affection.

Shi Yu prefers to be held in his arms, to clearly feel that she is cherished and protected, as if only in this way can she gain the deepest sense of security. It is a kind of dependence with a bit of passivity and a desire to be protected.

Eriri is quite easygoing and has a rather unrestrained sleeping posture. She might roll over to him half-asleep, or even climb on top of him and use him as a human mattress. It's a kind of innocent and straightforward intimacy.

Toka and Haruno, as older sister characters with a stronger sense of age, are also warm enough, but their specific performances are closer to Saeko's restraint, only slightly different.

They seemed to enjoy holding him in their arms more, liking to let him rest his head against their soft, warm chests, with a tolerant and doting attitude.

The way the two of them interacted, like Hayasaka Ai at this moment, was like two ropes tangled together in a messy yet tightly intertwined knot, made Minamoto Chiya feel more clearly the deep, almost greedy, yearning to be filled, intense attachment in her heart.

Considering that she left her parents at a young age and grew up alone in the cold and oppressive Shinomiya family, enduring loneliness and fear under strict rules and ruthless surveillance... Minamoto Chiya could completely understand this and even felt sorry for her.

Her name is Love, but throughout her long and bleak childhood, she had a very limited experience of love.

However, it's okay.

Because now I have him.

Silently admiring the maid's adorable sleeping face, I became somewhat mesmerized, and before I knew it, ten minutes had passed.

From Yuan Qianye's omniscient perspective, servants in the villa had already begun to go to their posts, cleaning and preparing breakfast.

If we don't leave now, we really won't be able to leave.

Gen Chiya carefully withdrew his hand, and then carefully pulled Ai's arms and legs away from his body one after another.

Years of working as a maid and rigorous training have given Ai's body both the delicacy of a young girl and the elasticity of health.

As he got up, Yuan Qianye's hand inevitably touched her smooth and delicate skin. The wonderful touch made him a little distracted for a moment, and some inappropriate thoughts quietly surfaced, but he forced himself to suppress them.

He got out of bed smoothly, covered Ai with the blanket, and went to the bathroom to get his clothes.

When he came out, he found that Ai had gotten up from the bed at some point.

She hastily pulled up a corner of the blanket with one hand to cover her chest, her long golden hair cascading messily over her bare shoulders. Her face still held the bewilderment of someone just waking up, and her beautiful eyes scanned the room anxiously and fearfully, with a look of grievance on the verge of tears, as if she had lost her most precious treasure.

When her gaze finally caught sight of Yuan Qianye, who was still standing at the bathroom door, her eyes lit up with immense surprise, making Yuan Qianye's heart soften instantly.

This eye contact brought back memories of his first meeting with the maid in that park many years ago.

She was exactly the same back then as she is now.

"Senya...!"

She called softly, got out of bed barefoot, and rushed over to throw herself into his arms.

Last night, Yuan Qianye's gentle touch was like water, which made her, who was new to this world, feel that although she was tired, her body did not bear an excessive burden, and she still had the confidence to move freely.

"I thought...you had already left..."

Seeing her like this, Yuan Qianye's heart melted, but he had to harden his heart: "We have to go. Go back and get some more sleep. You can sleep for another few tens of minutes."

"I don't want you to leave..." She hugged her tighter, pressing her face against her chest: "...It was such a precious night, yet I fell asleep so quickly."

"I don't mind."

"But I mind... it's not enough... not enough at all..."

Yuan Qianye understood what she meant. She wasn't referring to last night, but rather that no matter how much time she spent with him, it was never enough.

He couldn't help but think and imagine again that, without his knowledge, he loved her in this spacious, somewhat empty room.

Along with the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, she was bound by strict family rules, spending her days in this prison-like mansion.

During those days, she had no friends, lacked family affection, and had no time to pursue her life goals or develop her interests... What kind of mindset did she have to persevere until now?

"Don't worry." Yuan Qianye gently stroked her long hair.

Like a father who would give up everything for his child.

He was also touched by the love and attachment he felt towards him, which shook his original thoughts and caused him to change his original schedule.

"If there isn't enough time, we can spend more time together. Now you should go back and rest, catch up on your sleep, and get plenty of rest. I promise I'll come to see you again tonight."

"...!"

Hayasaka Ai looked up suddenly, her eyes filled with disbelief and surprise, as if asking him if he was lying.

"I'm not lying."

Seeing her surprised and delighted yet cautious appearance, Yuan Qianye's heart softened completely, and he even wanted to shrink her down and put her in his pocket to take her away.

He smiled and extended his little finger, wanting to reach for his waist, then took a deep breath and knelt before him.

The appearance of this wondrous sight also made her face rosy as blood.

"Tonight, I am not a servant of the Shinomiya family, but a personal maid belonging only to Young Master Chiya... I will be responsible for serving you, and please teach me... things I don't understand..."

Volume 2: Chapter 205: The rather resentful Vice President Yukinoshita (5k)

From the warm water and milk mingling in the bathtub in the bathroom, to the large, white bath towel carelessly tossed aside on the bed in the bedroom, crumpled into a ball.

The maid gripped the bedsheets tightly with both hands, having gone through the transformation from girl to woman.

She went from being on the verge of death, as if her consciousness was about to leave her body, to finally falling peacefully asleep in a half-dreaming, half-awake state, embraced by someone.
