I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

"You're the one making me laugh?"

Reiko Akiba rolled her eyes at him again in annoyance, and then fell into silence for several seconds.

After a long while, she lowered her head and buried her face in the crook of Serabelle's neck, and whispered a breath into her ear, as if she was whispering or talking to herself.

"In this way, do you think I am a very casual woman?"

"will not."

Serabelle answered without thinking.

You have to know that Reiko Akiba had a fiancé before. Although it is not known whether her previous fiancé was truly in love with her or was arranged by her parents, she could not be a casual woman as she was able to keep her first time until now.

What's more, Reiko Akiba's job means that she will only come into contact with people from the upper class. It is unlikely that they are all good-for-nothings. There will always be one or two outstanding ones.

But Reiko Akiba has never favored anyone.

"Well, I'm glad you said that, Bell..."

Knowing that Serabelle didn't treat her as a casual woman, Akiba Reiko seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Actually, we shouldn't have developed so quickly, but it may be because I have been alone for too long these years, and then I was suddenly touched by you...Besides, I have already regretted it once, so I don't want to regret it a second time."

"But I don't regret it either."

Reiko Akita continued.

"Remember what I said to you the last time I lay here?"

"I remember." Serabelle said without hesitation, "You've never seen someone like me who takes his life so lightly."

"You still remember..."

The corners of Reiko Akiba's eyes softened a little in an instant.

"Then you should also remember what I told you in the forest park, that singing is mankind's prayer to God, right?"

"I remember that, too." Serabel nodded slightly.

"I know you won't listen if I tell you something like 'You'll die one day if you keep working so hard.'"

Reiko Akita raised her hand and gently stroked the boy's face.

"So, I will pray for you."

"..."

Serabelle fell into a brief silence.

It is true that he did not believe in God, nor did he see any point in praying to something so illusory and completely made up by humans as a form of psychological comfort.

But when a girl who just had sex with you for the first time and is caressing your cheek with love says she will pray for you and wish you safety, what can you complain about?

Of course, the only way to respond to her love is with practical actions!

"Pity..."

buzz-

But just as Serabelle turned over and was about to kiss him again, the phone on the bedside table suddenly vibrated.

The screen lit up, and a text message appeared on it.

It was sent by Akai Mary.

[Machun has returned, where are you? ]

Chapter 396: Miss Qiu Ting becomes a clingy girlfriend in a second

About ten minutes later, the sensor lights in the corridor of the apartment building lit up, illuminating the area from the door of Reiko Akiba's house to the corridor door.

Serabelle, who had changed back into the clothes she wore during the day, stood outside the open door, saying her final goodbyes to Reiko Akiba, who was reluctant to see her off.

"Sorry, I'll go back today."

Reiko Akiba was still in her pajamas and slippers. The heater was on in the room, and when the door was opened the heat spread to the corridor, so it wasn't very cold for a while.

"Well, walk slowly on the road. It's cold outside now. Remember to pull up your collar."

Since she knew in advance that Serabelle's house probably had something like "flexible access control", when the boy asked to go home, Reiko Akiba, who had been mentally prepared in advance, agreed with almost no effort.

As she spoke, she decided to take charge herself. With one hand, she pulled the bottom edge of the zipper on Serabelle's coat, and with the other hand, she held the zipper ring until she had pulled the zipper all the way to the top and completely raised the collar with the hood at the back. She didn't stop until she had reached the end and couldn't pull it any further.

Then she stood on tiptoe to cover Serabelle's hood, tightening the straps on both sides of the hood.

After all the operations, Serabel's face, whose collar was originally spread out and hood was hanging behind her, was left with only two eyes and two nostrils exposed.

At first glance, it looks like some new character in CS, which gives people a very funny feeling.

"Stop it. If you go back like this, you'll be caught as a terrorist by the police patrolling at night."

Serabelle had no choice but to flip her hood back, leaving only the collar around her neck to keep warm.

Reiko Akiba also realized that what she did just now looked a bit weird, but she still insisted on being tough.

"I'm worried that you might catch a cold on the way back. It's winter now."

"Don't worry, I'm not that fragile. Besides, I'm just walking back home. If I wrap myself up so tightly, I'll be sweating by the time I get home."

Serabelle put her hand on the door handle, ready to close the security door.

"Then I'm going back."

"Wait a moment."

Just like a traditional art, Akiba Reiko called out to him skillfully, then stepped out of the door and into the corridor, gently tiptoeing.

As soon as their lips touched, Reiko Akita let go of her hands that were around the boy's neck and went back into the house, her brown-red eyes filled with tenderness that almost overflowed.

"Come over when you're not busy and have time, got it?"

"understood."

"Also, send me a text message when you get home... Well, never mind, just give me a call."

"it is good."

Serabelle nodded, closed the door until there was only a foot's space left, and tilted her head to let her voice pass through the crack.

"Reiko, you should go back to bed as soon as possible. Even though the heating is on at home, you will catch a cold if you stay at the door for too long."

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Reiko Akiba said this, but she showed no intention of moving.

"Then again, remember to call me when you get back, got it?"

"Oh, I see."

Agreeing to Reiko Akiba's request again, Serabell closed the security door completely.

After all, it looked like if he didn't close the door on his own initiative, Reiko Akiba would probably stand at the door until her legs were frozen.

Huh~

After exiting the corridor door, Serabelle exhaled a puff of white mist towards the dim light of the street lamp above her head. Somehow she recalled the aloof Reiko Akiba who was as cold as a goddess when they first met.

So, is it true that people's personalities will change 180 degrees after falling in love?

I don't understand.

Shaking her head inwardly, Serabelle took out her cell phone and checked the time on the screen.

It's ten-ten now, and it will probably take me about ten-forty to get home.

Not bad.

Thinking of this, Serabelle prepared to put away her phone and head home.

However, before he could put the phone completely into his pocket, he felt the phone vibrate at his fingertips.

This time it wasn't a text message, but a direct call.

Could it be that it was Sister Mary who called?

Serabelle couldn't help but feel puzzled, mainly because he had already replied to Akai Mari's message before, promising to be home before eleven o'clock, so logically speaking, he shouldn't have called at this time.

I picked it up again and saw that it wasn't.

The four big words "Akiba Reiko" on the caller ID are a good proof of this.

But... why did he call me now? Could it be that he remembered that he had something to say at the door just now after returning to bed, and wanted him to go back and talk to him more?

Serabelle was a little skeptical, but she still answered the call as quickly as possible.

"Hey Lianzi?"

“…Yes, it’s me.”

There was a pause before Reiko Akiba's voice was heard from the other end of the line. Judging from the friction of fabric in the background, she probably turned over in bed.

The remaining fatigue from the previous intense exercise and the warm environment made her voice sound a little lazy.

"Where are you now, Bell? Are you on your way home?"

"Ah, to be honest, I'm still at your door, Lianzi. I was just about to leave when you called me."

Serabelle looked at the door of the apartment building behind her.

On the other end of the phone, Reiko Akitaba uttered a dull "Oh," "Then just walk slowly on your way home."

"……what?"

Serabelle didn't react immediately.

Reiko Akita was also a little confused.

"'Ah?' What, you're going back, or are you going somewhere else?"

"Oh no, that's not it."

Serabelle breathed a sigh of relief, took a step forward and walked slowly along the roadside.

"I thought you called me because you wanted me to come back for something."

"Things? Nothing~"

Reiko Akiba turned over in the bed again. Maybe it was because she felt a little chest tightness from being pressed by the airbag while lying on her stomach, so she changed back to lying on her side.

"I'm just afraid that I'll be asleep when you get home and I won't be able to get through to you on the phone, so why not just keep talking on the phone all the way home like this, and you can hang up when you get home... Don't worry about the phone bill, I've just subscribed to a package that gives us 10,000 minutes of free talk time every month."

"Eh……"

Ten thousand minutes, based on thirty days in a month, means you can talk for at least five hours a day.

Hiss~ So that's how it is. Serabelle no longer knew what to say.

On the other side, Akita Reiko changed the subject: "Also, why did you seem relieved just now? Could it be that you really hate seeing me?"

"That's not what I meant..."

Serabel and Reiko Akiba chatted idly on the phone, just like they did when they were walking near the apartment before, and they kept chatting from the time they left the house to the time they walked downstairs in the community.

Serabelle stepped into the apartment building and came to the elevator door, pressing the elevator's up call button: "Okay, Lianzi, I'm home, I'm about to get in the elevator, I'll hang up first."

"Well, you hang up first."

Perhaps she was really tired and sleepy, this time Akiba Reiko quickly agreed to end the call, but she still insisted that Serabelle hang up first.

Serabelle didn't think too much about it. After the elevator descended and the door opened, she said good night and pressed the hang-up button.

So half a minute later, when Serabelle opened the door and stepped into the porch, she saw that the lights in the living room were still on.

Mary Akai was sitting on the sofa in the living room in her pajamas, looking down at her phone. When she heard the noise at the door, she didn't even bother to raise her head and just said something lightly.

"Go take a shower first, use shower gel at least three times."

Chapter 397: Yu Yu, the Queen

Due to Serabel's "late return" last night, Akai Mari, who was in a bad mood, "interrogated" him from 11:30 to almost 2 in the morning.

When Serabelle woke up again, it was already ten o'clock in the morning according to the clock on the bedside table.
