Great, we're doomed now!

"..."

Ye Shou gently pulled Chuixue along, occasionally applying slight pressure with his fingertips to give her a light touch, as if to soothe her nervousness and prevent the silent atmosphere from becoming awkward.

After walking along the mountain path for about ten minutes, we turned onto a small path and a corner surrounded by green bamboo appeared before us.

Rows of bamboo, bound and buried deep, are arranged in perfect order, with only wisps of moisture visible through the gaps, indicating that someone frequently comes here to manage various tasks. This method of using bamboo as a fence preserves the natural wildness while adding a sense of security—it's enclosed on all four sides, not entirely open to the elements.

Ye Shou stopped, released Chuixue's hand, and turned to walk towards the stone lantern standing beside him.

These things that look antique are actually modern imitations; they are essentially still electrical appliances.

He reached out and groped around the side of the lantern, and sure enough, he found the switch. The light bulb inside lit up, and the warm yellow light, mimicking the flickering of a candle flame, hazily enveloped the hot spring and tinted the steam a pale gold.

The hot spring is small, with fine ripples on the surface. The surrounding rocks are warmed by the spring water, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance of grass and trees and a very faint smell of sulfur, which is relaxing to the mind and body.

"You go to the bar, I'll meditate outside for a while. Call me if you need anything." Ye Shou turned around, his tone calm and natural.

If there's only one pool, naturally two people can't both bathe in it, although mixed bathing isn't uncommon.

Fubuki stood still, holding the wooden bathtub. She looked at Ye Shou's back, hesitated for a few seconds, then suddenly stepped forward and gently took the corner of his clothes with her left hand.

"That's not a good idea." Fubuki's voice was soft, with a hint of barely perceptible shyness. "I asked you to bring me here. If I let you stay outside while I enjoy this all by myself, it would seem too arrogant."

As soon as she said it, Fubuki felt her cheeks burning even more, and quickly added a sentence to cover up her true thoughts.

She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting soft shadows under the light, concealing her flustered gaze: "Besides... even though there are bamboo trees surrounding this place, I still feel a little uneasy being alone."

Ye Shou was taken aback. He wanted to pull away the hem of his clothes that was being tugged, but when he looked up at Chuixue's reddened ears, he hesitated...

"Let me make this clear first, don't think I'm implying anything, it's just... I misunderstood you before, and I feel really bad about it."

Yes, this is also a good way to demonstrate honesty and increase mutual trust!

Fubuki took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling slightly, her fingertips clenched so tightly they turned white.

She looked up at Ye Shou, a barely perceptible fear hidden in her eyes, and a faint blush on her cheeks. A wave of shame surged up, but she forcefully suppressed it.

...This initiative to invite her almost exhausted her courage.

If Ye Shou refuses, she will probably really have to give up in tears.

Ye Shouzhen really wanted to refuse—

But when his gaze fell on Fubuki's eyes, which seemed to be clouded by the autumn rain, and he sensed her melancholy and courage, he swallowed back the words of refusal that were on the tip of his tongue.

Hard work deserves reward... and girls who bravely pursue love truly possess an irresistible charm.

"Okay," he replied, changing his mind.

While her expression betrayed little emotion, it instantly relieved Fubuki, a barely perceptible hint of joy flashing in her eyes.

Ye Shou walked to the shade by the hot spring, turned his back to Fubuki, and neatly took off his coat. He then grabbed a towel from the wooden shed and wrapped it around his waist. He stepped into the hot spring, letting the warm water wash over his ankles, calves, and finally his waist and abdomen... He walked to the shore and sat down with his back against the smooth rock.

Close your eyes and enjoy a moment of relaxation from the spring water.

But not long after, light footsteps approached, and Fubuki walked to the shore, wearing only a white bath towel that covered her slender waist, but her prominent bust was particularly eye-catching. The towel was so tight that it seemed as if it was about to be untied at any moment, making one wonder how it managed to hold her up like that...

Fubuki sat down somewhat awkwardly, pretending nothing was wrong, and slowly put her fair legs into the pool. The spring water enveloped her skin, making her subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief.

He sat down next to Ye Shou, with a fist's distance between them.

Ye Shou could clearly feel the warmth emanating from the person. Just by turning his head, a faint, delicate fragrance would linger around his nose, unmistakable even in the warm, moist air.

Is this a provocation?

Although Ye Shou is a very self-disciplined and upright gentleman, he is also highly competitive and will retaliate twice as hard if anyone picks on him... He is a very "broad-minded" person.

Da...da...da...

In the quiet hot spring, only the occasional ripples and soft bubbles could be heard.

Suddenly, Fubuki shuddered, her body tensing as if struck by an electric current!

She could clearly feel a soft hand gently holding her toes underwater, the touch of the fingertips carrying a familiar warmth.

"Isn't that a bit impolite?" Ye Shou's voice rang in my ears, carrying a hint of teasing, but his hand did not loosen its grip.

"Put your feet next to someone?"

"……Feel sorry."

Fubuki bit her lower lip: "Actually, I want you to massage me again."

"Ok?"

Ye Shou paused, somewhat hesitant.

The scene of massaging Fubuki was still vivid in his mind. That kind of overly intimate contact could easily make the atmosphere awkward. He wasn't stupid; he could guess that there was something wrong with the maid's collection!

So when he was "playing around" with Tornado, he only made a few jokes and didn't actually apply any essential oils.

...Thinking about it, it's lucky. If it had actually been used, Fubuki would have witnessed an even more unbearable scene, and she wouldn't have been able to clear her name even if she jumped into the Pacific Ocean!

“You are so patient with your sister… Her attitude is much worse than mine, but you have helped her more than once.”

Fubuki pouted slightly, her tone clearly showing jealousy: "We're sisters, why is there such a big difference in treatment? I even knew you first."

Is this jealousy?

Was the reason for such boldness driven by a sense of crisis, leading to an irrational choice?

To be fair, the reason Ye Shou treated Tornado differently was simply because she gave him so much.

"Favoritism is indeed not good... but you have to be prepared."

"What preparations?"

“This is a hot spring,” Ye Shou said with a smirk. “If you make too much noise, you might faint.”

"Huh? Hmm!"

He didn't let go of her foot, but with a slight pressure from his fingertips, warm ripples of energy spread along Fubuki's skin, gently stimulating the many acupoints on the soles of her feet with a familiar force.

"Ugh!!"

Almost instantly, Fubuki's thighs stiffened!

Ye Shou continued his movements without stopping, his palm moving upwards along the calf with focused concentration and professionalism, giving the impression of a craftsman polishing jade.

However, what gradually took shape in his hands was not a gorgeous but lifeless mineral, but a fruit brimming with the beauty of life, possessing extremely high plasticity, transforming from stiff to soft, from dry to moist, from quiet and dignified to murmuring incessantly... a sinful fruit that could ignite evil fire in people's hearts.

He stroked her, comforted her, and gently inhaled her scent... This time, there were no added essential oils or even any ripple energy techniques. He simply placed his hand on her, and the warmth of his body was enough to overwhelm her.

Her alluring, pale figure swayed like a snake, her pearly teeth gently biting her lip, trying hard not to make any embarrassing sounds.

But the body tells a different story... Before they knew it, the two were no longer in the hot spring, but on the grass.

The kimono was laid out as a light cushion. In order to provide better service, Ye Shou not only used his hands, but also made use of other parts of his body, allowing customers to have an unparalleled blissful experience through skin-to-skin contact.

With her hands crossed over her chest and her legs twisted together, the clear, sparkling snow melted and soaked her clothes. Although it wasn't winter, the snow water had already soaked through.

"Don't look at me like that, don't humiliate me any further... just hold me tight~"

Chapter 355: Fubuki will never be so arrogant again! (4K edited)

Fubuki tilted her head slightly, her chin and jade-like neck forming a smooth curve, her emerald green eyes peering through the bamboo forest and into the star-studded night sky.

What happened next was as natural as a ripe melon falling from its stem or a tender bud sprouting.

...The wind subsided and the rain stopped, and the bamboo forest returned to calm, with only the rustling of the wind.

"..."

Ye Shou's movements became exceptionally gentle.

He raised his hand and gently stroked Fubuki's sweat-dampened hair, pressing and stroking her back as if he were lovingly caring for a newborn fawn.

Her face didn't show much expression; she simply pressed her cheek against the man's warm chest to listen to his steady heartbeat.

Thump~ Thump~

The accelerated heartbeat, coinciding with hers, seemed to possess a calming magic, making Fubuki unable to help but laugh.

Would you call this "mutual understanding"?

She embraced Ye Shou, then looked up at the sky again. The starlight was brighter than before, the Milky Way seemed within reach, and her soul seemed to merge into this dazzling sea of ​​stars, her perspective gradually rising...

My mind was unusually clear, and everything around me became exceptionally quiet, with the soft rustling of bamboo leaves in the wind becoming a gentle background sound.

At this moment, she felt no unease, only an unprecedented sense of peace and tranquility.

She no longer seeks to surpass Tornado in any particular area—it's pointless.

At that moment, she became acutely aware of her own existence, of what constraint was, and of what freedom was...

Even if you win, what then? It's just an obsession left over from childhood. Being trapped in the past prevents you from growing.

Your future must be built with yourself as the primary focus!

It wasn't for my sister, nor for Ye Shou, but simply to get what I wanted!

As for now, she:

I want to make this man my own!

Fubuki revealed a proud and confident expression—

"……Um?"

Suddenly, a look of surprise flashed across the woman's face: "Why...wait? What's going on?"

"What's wrong? You sound surprised."

"Something doesn't seem right here."

"I can not understand what you say."

Ye Shou activated the Holy Word D!

Fubuki immediately panicked, and her previous confidence vanished.

"I was wrong! I shouldn't have gotten so carried away... Domination and all that... it doesn't necessarily have to be so strict, it's okay if it doesn't become mine... Let's take a break for a bit?"

"What are you saying? I don't understand at all!"

Swastika!

One-hit wonder!
