The smile on Xuefeng's face froze slightly.
Invite Brother Xiuyuan to Gui Yanye's house? She felt inexplicably uncomfortable, as if her treasured possession was being coveted by others.
But what Katsura Yanye said was reasonable and it was also a family tradition. She couldn't find any reason to refute it and could only respond vaguely:
"Oh, that's how it is……"
Xuefeng was carrying an exquisite paper bag, walking briskly, almost jogging through the porch garden, while Gui Yanye followed quietly beside her.
Before I even stepped into the entrance, Xuefeng's energetic voice came in:
"Mom! I'm back! Look! Matcha Daifuku and Kinsin Gyokuro! The freshest!"
In the living room, the low table shook slightly.
Mizuki Shiranui rested her hands on the table, her waist bent into an extremely restrained and submissive arc, with a few strands of hair stuck to her temples.
She heard her daughter's voice clearly. The crisp cry was like thunder exploding in her ears. Her heart suddenly tightened and almost jumped out of her chest.
How can it be so fast? !
She calculated the time and found that the queue at the old store plus the round trip would take at least an hour.
My daughter has never had much patience, so she might even take a detour... But now, she's back in more than half an hour?
Brought guests?
It's Katsura's voice...
An indescribable panic instantly seized her...
Mizuki Shiranui subconsciously tensed her body and tried to straighten up.
However, the hand pressing on her waist from behind did not move at all, and even increased its strength slightly. A steady and domineering force fixed her firmly in place, making her unable to move.
"Madam, I am not well yet."
Xiu Yuan's calm voice sounded in her ears, with a barely perceptible hint of teasing.
Although the tone was gentle, it made Shiranui shudder, as if an electric current was running through her.
The rustling of shoes being taken off could be heard from the entrance, along with Xuefeng's clearer complaints:
"I'm so tired. I waited in line for such a long time! Luckily, Yanye helped me buy tea... Mom? Brother Xiuyuan? Are you in the living room?"
The footsteps were getting closer and closer! They were already outside the paper door connecting to the living room!
Mizuki Shiranui could clearly hear the sound of her daughter and Katsura Kotonoha walking on the wooden floor, and could even imagine that Yukikaze might open the paper door and stick her head in at the next second.
She held her breath, and all the blood in her body seemed to rush to her cheeks and ears, making them incredibly hot.
The strange feeling that was forcibly suppressed deep within her body almost overwhelmed her sanity.
Crazy, really crazy!
She bit her lower lip tightly, not daring to make a sound. The knuckles of her fingers 4.6, which were supporting herself on the coffee table, turned white from the force.
The only sounds in the living room were her own suppressed breathing and the steady, long breathing of the person behind her, forming an absurd and suffocating contrast.
Outside the paper door, Xuefeng was still chattering something, as if introducing the furnishings of the house to Gui Yanye.
Every second feels like a century.
Mizuki Shiranui felt like she was being roasted repeatedly on fire, mixed with a hint of excitement that made her dizzy.
She couldn't even imagine how her daughter and the quiet classmate Gui would react when they saw the scene in front of them if the door was opened.
Xiu Yuan seemed completely oblivious to the noise outside the door. He remained in that position, his palm firmly pressing on her waist, as if all the noise outside had nothing to do with him. He was simply focused on the matter at hand.
Chapter 107: Shuicheng Xuefeng becomes incontinent again!
The paper door was suddenly opened with a "clatter" sound...
Shuicheng Xuefeng excitedly leaned in halfway and held up the paper bag in his hand:
"Brother Xiuyuan! Look at me buying back..."
The sound suddenly came.
The scene in the living room made Xuefeng's next words stuck in his throat.
Behind her, Gui Yanye also looked in, and her gentle expression froze instantly.
Mizuki Shiranui's heart almost stopped beating at that moment, and the blood seemed to rush to her head, and her vision went dark.
It’s over! These two words were the only ones in her mind.
Xuefeng and Gui both saw it!
She could even feel her body trembling violently from extreme shame and fear, causing the low table beneath her to creak slightly.
She wanted to disappear immediately, but her body was too stiff to move.
However, the expected screams and questions did not happen.
Xuefeng and Yanye just stood at the door, the expressions on their faces quickly changing from initial surprise to a blank and empty look.
Their eyes lost focus and stared straight ahead, as if they saw something extremely ordinary, but also as if they saw nothing.
Shiranui was stunned. What was going on?
"Do not worry"
Xiu Yuan's voice, with its usual calmness, rang in her ears.
"I have used a little magic to temporarily make them unable to see or hear anything."
He had previously obtained a pocket watch with a hypnotic magic circle. While destroying the pocket watch, he also learned the hypnosis knowledge contained in it and incorporated it into his own practice system.
Today is just a trial run.
The curtains on the living room windows were not completely drawn, and the afterglow of the setting sun slanted in through the gaps, casting light and shadows on the floor.
At the door, Xuefeng and Yanye still maintained their original postures, like two exquisite dolls, unaware of what was happening in the living room.
This eerie calm was in stark contrast to what was happening.
Xiuyuan seemed very satisfied with her reaction at the moment.
After finishing, Xiuyuan moved his fingertips slightly to cancel the hypnosis.
The confusion in Mizuki Yukikaze and Katsura Kotonoha's eyes faded away, as if a broken film was reconnected, and their memories returned to the moment before the paper door was opened.
"Brother Xiuyuan! Look, I bought back...21..."
Xuefeng's voice sounded again, and with the excitement of seeking credit, she strode into the living room and put the two paper bags in her hands on the coffee table, almost knocking over the teacup.
"The freshest matcha daifuku! And that Uji Kinsei Gyokuro! The line was so long!"
She rushed to the low table and opened the paper bag as if she was presenting a treasure. The aroma of matcha immediately filled the air, causing her to take a deep breath with a look of satisfaction on her face.
Gui Yanye followed Xuefeng into the living room, placed the tea leaves in her hand on the table, bowed slightly to Xiuyuan, and spoke in a gentle and reserved tone:
"Teacher Shuen, this is Uji Kinsin Gyokuro. I hope it suits your taste."
Xiu Yuan glanced at the snacks and tea on the table, then looked at Shui Cheng Xue Feng, who was standing beside them with an expectant look on her face, and Gui Yan Ye, who looked a little shy. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Thank you both for your kindness."
Mizuki Shiranui was kneeling on the mat, and when she heard her daughter's voice, her body stiffened for a moment and she slowly raised her head.
Her face was unnaturally flushed, and her eyes were evasive. The look she gave Xiu Yuan was even more complicated and incomprehensible, as if carrying a hint of unspeakable resentment.
She tried to stand up by supporting herself on the ground, but found her legs and feet were a little weak. She barely supported herself for a moment, then fell back weakly, letting out a soft groan.
"Mom? What's wrong with you?"
Xuefeng then noticed something was wrong with her mother and quickly came forward, looking at her with a worried look on her face. "Your face is so red, are you feeling unwell?"
Katsura Kotonoha also looked at Shiranui with concern.
Shiranui waved her hands hastily, trying to hide her embarrassment, but she looked even more helpless, her eyes wandering, not daring to look anyone in the eye.
"No, it's okay... I just sat for too long and my legs are numb."
?As she spoke, she forced a smile, trying to prove that she was really fine, but because she felt guilty, her smile seemed a little stiff.
Xiu Yuan watched her poor acting calmly without exposing her.
Katsura Yanye seemed to notice that the atmosphere was a little subtle, but as she was introverted, she was not good at dealing with such situations. She could only stand aside silently, her eyes wandering between Xiu Yuan and Shiranui. She vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
Xuefeng was completely oblivious to the undercurrent between her mother and Xiuyuan. Her attention was completely drawn to the snacks and tea. She enthusiastically called out, "Brother Xiuyuan, come and try some! This Daifuku is really delicious! And this tea, I heard it's a very high-quality tea!"
At this moment, Katsura Yanye seemed to have made up her mind and spoke again, her tone more serious than before:
"Teacher Xiuyuan, actually...I have something to ask of you."
She paused slightly, as if considering her words, and then mustered up the courage to say:
"My mother learned that Teacher Xiuyuan had come to Wuche Academy, and she hopes to invite you to visit the Gui family someday to show us how to be a good host."
After saying that, she looked at Xiu Yuan nervously, with a hint of anticipation and uneasiness in her eyes.
She was about to go home after school, but when her mother found out that one of her teachers was Monk Xiuyuan, she asked her to make the invitation.
Xiuyuan picked up a piece of Matcha Daifuku, put it into his mouth slowly and savored it carefully.
The sweet red bean paste and slightly bitter matcha blended perfectly, creating a soft and glutinous texture. He nodded slightly in approval.
Seeing this, Shuicheng Xuefeng's eyes immediately lit up, like a puppy waiting for praise, his tail almost wagging:
"How's it going? Brother Xiuyuan! Isn't it super delicious? Let me tell you, this restaurant..."
"Well, it's okay."
Xiuyuan made a light comment, interrupting Xuefeng's long speech that was about to begin.
He picked up the teacup again and took a sip of the Golden Seal Jade Dew. The tea had a clear aroma and was indeed a good tea.
Xuefeng was choked for a moment, but quickly interpreted it to himself that Brother Xiuyuan was not good at expressing himself. He agreed in his heart and continued to fiddle with the snacks happily.
Then he said to Gui Yanye: "In that case, I will be honored to receive your invitation. I will come to visit you on a certain day."
After hearing Xiuyuan's reply, and after he said he could choose a day to visit, Gui Yanye smiled with relief and bowed solemnly to Xiuyuan again:
"Then I won't disturb you. My mother will be looking forward to your visit. Goodbye."
"Xuefeng, see Kotonoha off."
Mizuki Shiranui's voice was a little dizzy. She couldn't wait to get her daughter away, and she didn't even dare to look Xiuyuan in the eye.
"okay!"
Xuefeng didn't think much about it, and followed him out happily, not forgetting to turn around and wave to Xiuyuan.
"Brother Xiuyuan, wait for me!"
Watching the two girls disappear out the door, only Xiu Yuan and Shiranui were left in the living room.
Shiranui almost instantly jumped up from the mat, but her legs gave out and she nearly fell back down.
She held onto the edge of the low table, trying to steady herself, her cheeks flushed red as if they could bleed. She grabbed the cushion she had just sat on, and the touch of it made her tremble all over.
She didn't even dare to take a second look. Holding the cushion, she staggered towards the backyard almost at the same time. Her back looked panic-stricken and embarrassed, as if there was an evil ghost chasing her.
At the entrance, Xuefeng was still exchanging pleasantries with Gui Yanye:
"Yanye, be careful on the road! Let's play together another day!"
After seeing off Gui Yanye, Xuefeng hummed a discordant tune and returned to the living room in a very good mood.
She sat back down at the low table, ready to continue sharing the delicious snacks with Brother Xiuyuan, but found that her mother was gone.
"Huh? Where's Mom?" Xuefeng looked around. The living room was empty. Only Xiuyuan was sitting there leisurely, drinking tea slowly, with a calm expression as if nothing had happened just now.
Xiuyuan put down the teacup and looked at Xuefeng calmly:
"Your mother went to the backyard to clean something."
"Washing?"
Xuefeng blinked and didn't take it seriously. It was probably tea set or something else.
She immediately put her mother out of her mind and unconsciously moved closer to Xiu Yuan. A big smile appeared on her face and her tone was cheerful:
"Great! Brother Xiuyuan, now it's just the two of us! Let me tell you, during class today..."
The girl's clear voice echoed in the somewhat quiet living room.
