Lonely Rock: Love Songs Dedicated to the Stars

Yuzhen bent down and picked up Xingge, then rushed back to the track.

"Don't move around, you'll run faster this way."

For Yuzhen, Xingge wasn't heavy, and when he carried Xingge, he was actually a little faster than Xingge could run on her own.

Xingge had no choice but to wrap her arms around his neck and bury her face in his chest, hoping no one else could see her face. It was so embarrassing.

Yuuma and the first boy to start ran to the referee's table around the same time. He put Hoshiga down, and then Hoshiga took out his earphones from his pocket and showed them to Yuuki, who was sitting there.

Yuuki confirmed that Yuuma's borrowed items were fine, looked at the two of them, and finally sighed. He lowered his head, waved to Yuuma, and told him to go back to the track and cross the finish line.

Yuuma nodded, then ran back to the track. He sprinted at full speed and crossed the finish line.

"we are the champion!"

Yuma heard Aikawa's shout, but it seemed to be just the preliminary round of the race with the borrowed object.

Chapter 51 Once Again

Yuma successfully advanced in the afternoon's borrowing race, and school ended after the referee announced the results. The two went back to Hoshika's house together.

Xingge went to take a shower as soon as she got home. Although it wasn't as hot as yesterday, it wasn't much cooler either. After spending the whole day on the playground, it was impossible not to sweat.

Moreover, Xingge forgot to shower last night, and after sweating a lot during the three-legged race this morning, she felt really uncomfortable. Although Youzhen was still at her house, she couldn't care less about that now; all she wanted was to take a shower as soon as possible.

"I'm going to take a shower, don't peek."

"I wouldn't do such a thing, don't worry, senior."

Seeing that he had said that, Xingge went back to her room, grabbed her change of clothes, and went into the bathroom.

Yuma sat on the sofa watching anime. Although he could hear the sounds coming from the bathroom, in order not to overthink, he rewatched the anime featuring the knife character he had seen before.

Does the bathroom door have a keyhole?

While browsing videos, Yuzhen stumbled upon a video of a keyhole looking at her mother and couldn't help but think this way.

"No, no, that's too immoral."

He turned off the anime that was making him overthink and returned to the video website's homepage to check how many views his cover video had. But as soon as he refreshed the page, he saw a marketing account's video being recommended to him.

How to see through frosted glass using transparent tape.

Yuma read out the title of the video.

"The terrifying power of big data."

He quickly swiped up to refresh the page.

……

Xingge took a long time to shower, which made Youzhen feel a little strange. Isn't a shower usually only a ten-minute or so time? Do girls usually take this long to shower?

"What are you thinking?"

Before anyone knew it, Xingge had come out of the bathroom. She stood behind the sofa and saw the video playing on Youzhen's phone screen.

How to see through frosted glass using transparent tape?

She read the video title, then looked at Yuma with the eyes of someone looking at trash, her face full of disgust.

"I just find this phenomenon interesting and want to study it."

Yu-chan's explanation was clearly weak and unconvincing.

Xingge didn't hold it against him for this, since Youzhen really hadn't peeked at her while she was taking a bath.

She walked around behind the sofa, then lay down on it, placing her legs on top of Yuma's legs, which were together.

"Senior, may I stay here for the next few days?"

Why did you suddenly decide to live here?

"Because I promised Auntie I'd help take care of you for the next few days." Yuzhen looked at Xingge lying on the sofa with her eyes closed. "It's too much trouble for her to come all the way here from my house every day."

"I feel like she just wants you to look after me a little." Xingge opened her eyes and looked at Youzhen. "What about your older brother these next few days?"

"My mom is home these days, so don't worry about them."

Xingge thought about it and realized it was indeed too much trouble for him, so she decided to let him stay. It was just the two of them staying together for a few days, and Youzhen wasn't a bad person, so nothing should happen.

"Then why don't you stay here for a few days?"

After Xingge finished speaking, she got up from the sofa, put her legs together, and sat down on the sofa.

"Also, thank you. I've been troubling you all this time."

"It is a bit tiring, but to be honest, it's not that bad."

As soon as Yuzhen finished speaking, he felt Xingge reach out and grab his arm, then he was pulled down and lay on Xingge's lap.

"Ah?"

Yuuma clearly hadn't expected Hoshika to take the initiative to do something like this. He'd only ever seen lap pillows in anime, and now he was actually experiencing it for real.

Xingge noticed his questioning look, and then she reached out and covered Youzhen's eyes.

“After all, you…you’ve done so much for me.” Xingge stammered a little as she spoke. “But it’s not like I can’t do something like this.”

After she finished speaking, she looked at Yuuma, whose face was half covered by her hands. She hesitated for a moment, then slowly bent down.

"Senior, are you using citrus-scented shower gel? Your legs smell so good."

Xingge, who had just leaned down and was almost kissing him, was stopped by his words. Xingge felt her resolve vanish.

"Kensaki Yuma..."

Yuma heard Hoshika's voice, which sounded slightly like she was gritting her teeth.

"W-What's wrong?"

"Say something whenever I want to do you a favor."

Xingge removed her hands from his eyes and then let him sit up on her lap.

"Wait, what did I do? Why are you angry, senior?"

Xingge beckoned to the curious Youzhen with her finger, and then, as he leaned closer, she hooked her arm around his neck and forcefully gave him the gentle kiss that had just been interrupted.

Yuma sensed that Hoshigo was trying to let go of him, so he hugged her tightly again. "Once you're here, don't think about leaving." Then he realized something was wrong; Hoshigo had stuck out her tongue.

After they separated, the two sat on opposite sides of the sofa, panting.

Actually, even their previous kisses had never been as exciting as today; they would only touch briefly before separating. Yuzhen hadn't expected Xingge to be so bold today.

"I was just saying that to thank you for taking care of me all this time..."

"Seriously, senior, are you this rude when you thank someone?"

Yuzhen looked helplessly at Xingge on the other side of the sofa.

"It's all your fault... I wanted to try to be gentler."

"Shall we do it again?"

Yuzhen thought that if she said that, Xingge would definitely reject her, and then she would say some words to him that, in her opinion, sounded more like coquetry than profanity, to boost her own morale.

"can."

"Huh?"

What Yuuma saw was Hoshika looking at him with unwavering determination.

I said yes.

"Then I'm coming."

This time, Yuma and Hoshika moved very gently, and they didn't stay close together for too long.

"One more time."

After the two parted ways, it was Xingge, who was usually the least candid, who seemed a little unsatisfied.

"it is good"

"..."

"Again, once again."

"it is good."

……

The dinner table was quiet.

Yuzhen has already called his mother and told her that he will be staying at Xingge's house for the next few days. As for Yuxing, there's no need to worry at all. He has already made an agreement with Yuzhen that he won't call Yuzhen tonight unless there are special circumstances.

Yuzhen swallowed the fish in his mouth, noticing a slightly metallic taste. His lip had been accidentally cut by Xingge, drawing a little blood. However, it didn't hurt anymore.

They didn't speak to each other during dinner. After dinner, Xingge went to the kitchen to wash the dishes by herself. Youzhen wanted to help but was glared at and chased out of the kitchen.

"Then I'll go and tidy up that guest room."

After waiting for Xingge to finish washing the dishes, Youzhen checked the time and decided to tidy up the room ahead of time.

"Sleep in my room."

"Ok?"

Yuzhen wasn't sure if she had misheard. Was Xingge going to share a bed with him?

"Huh? That guest room is cluttered with a lot of stuff now, it's hard to clean up."

"but……"

"It's settled then."

Xingge went towards the bedroom by herself first.

"I'll go get you a blanket."

Chapter 52 Sharing a Bed

Kenzaki Yuuma is taking a bath in the bathtub in Hoshika's bathroom. He is currently sitting in the bathtub, lost in thought.
