Anime, but you can win a prize by confessing your love

"Well, originally each net was 500 yen, but since the lady has said so, you can take these nets and use them as you please."

The old man handed over three or four nets.

Hong Xia took it, looked at Ye Mu who was paying next to him, and handed him another one.

Although the boss was so generous, the paper net was still as fragile as ever. They squatted in front of the stall and fished for a long time until all the nets were leaking, and only two goldfish were caught.

"Come on, let's take another turn."

Hongxia stood up, but then frowned, adjusted her heels and stood up again.

"Are you sure your foot is okay?"

While asking Hong Xia, Ye Mu put the goldfish back into the pond as the boss looked grateful.

"I think... I'm fine."

"That's nothing we can do," Ye Mu said with a righteous look, "How about I carry Hong Xia on my back and continue shopping."

"Never."

Hong Xia gave Ye Mu a blank look.

As they continued walking forward, there were more and more pedestrians. Suddenly, Hong Xia naturally took Ye Mu's hand, and the two of them walked side by side, hand in hand, just like those couples taking a walk together.

After walking for a while, when Hong Xia squatted down again and rubbed her feet, Ye Mu couldn't help but propose again.

"Hongxia, let's go back. We have to go somewhere else tomorrow."

"Um...okay."

Although Hongxia was still reluctant to leave, the constant pain from her feet made her change her mind.

As soon as she returned to the hotel, Hong Xia couldn't wait to take off her socks and wooden shoes, and sat sideways on the tatami to rub her feet.

"Ahem, Hongxia, actually I learned acupuncture and massage when I was in China, and I also know a little bit about how to massage to relieve fatigue."

Ye Mu calmly activated the system interface and drew out the skill [Acupuncture and Massage. Introduction] after three attempts.

"You must be kidding. I think you are having some dirty thoughts again. Really, I have to be careful when I go to bed tonight."

Hongxia wrapped her bathrobe tightly around herself cautiously, but then she let it go and started laughing.

If she really cared about whether Ye Mu would do anything to her, she would not have agreed to live in the same room with him.

"I'm not lying. I really know where to press to get help, like the XX point on the sole of the foot..."

Ye Mu said several professional terms in succession, and then combined the knowledge that had just been instilled into his brain to endorse his own profession. Hong Xia's teasing expression gradually turned into half-belief and half-doubt.

"Then...just give it a try."

She stretched her legs out, crossed her arms behind her back and leaned back.

"Wait, I'll go get the blanket and pillow so you can lie down and be more comfortable."

Ye Mu quickly took it out from the cupboard and laid it out.

However, Hongxia's feet seemed to be so painful that she would feel pain even when she stepped on the ground, so he simply picked up Hongxia and laid down next to the quilt.

To be honest, although Hongxia is small, she feels almost the same size as little Pochi when held in arms.

Xiao Boqi distributed his weight to his curvy figure, so the question is, where was Hongxia's weight distributed?

Ye Mu looked at Hong Xia's arms, which were much thinner than his own, swallowed, and truly realized the drummer's hidden arm strength.

Chapter 120: Hong Xia's Foot Massage and Heart-to-Heart Talk

Hehehe, Hongxia's feet are small, fragrant, and soft...

No, no, she is a patient now, she can’t let her imagination run wild!

So, Hong Xia, who was blushing because the alien touched her feet, looked at Ye Mu who suddenly freed the hand that had touched her feet and patted her face.

"Ye, Ye Jun, what are you doing? It's very dirty!"

The feeling was as if she took off her shoes and stepped on Ye Mu's face with her feet.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about where to start the massage."

After saying this, Ye Mu started his hand movements.

As for why he suddenly wanted to give Hong Xia a massage, the main reason was that he felt sorry for this gentle girl who was as gentle as an angel. But it would be a bit hypocritical to say that there was no inner desire at play.

Although Ye Mu's mind was in a mess at first, when he focused his attention on how to relieve the pain in Hong Xia's feet, those beautiful thoughts disappeared.

His expression gradually returned to normal, and Ye Mu continued to exert force with his palms.

Various techniques such as kneading, pinching, pressing and rubbing are used in turn.

Hongxia's feet were white, tender and small, with neatly trimmed toes curled together, making the blue veins more obvious, which made it much easier for him to determine the location of the acupuncture points.

"Relax a little, don't be so tense."

Ye Mu said to Hong Xia without raising his head.

"……Um."

Her voice was still steady, but if Ye Mu looked up, he would find that her red eyes were now filled with mist.

Acupuncture and massage in traditional Chinese medicine are obviously not aphrodisiacs, but massage, which is already very comfortable, has quietly evolved into a kind of...

It's like foreplay before making love.

Do my feet smell like I just went out for a walk?

Don't put your face so close, Ye Jun... Why are you suddenly moving away? Is there really something fishy?!

Why do I feel so comfortable that I want to scream out loud?

All kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind, and Hong Xia couldn't help but put her arms in front of her eyes, using the darkness to numb herself, but this action only further deepened the senses in other parts of her body.

Just when she finally couldn't hold back and was about to scream out, with the only words left in her mind being "I'm sorry, Pochi-chan", the short but long massage finally ended.

"...Hongxia, I'm afraid we have to change our schedule for tomorrow."

Ye Mu sighed and slowly raised his head.

After a while, the yellow-haired girl still didn't answer. Then he turned around and noticed the yellow-haired girl who was covering her eyes with her arms and breathing heavily.

"Hongxia, Hong↓Xia↑?"

"...Ah, what happened?"

She answered belatedly and moved her arm away from her eyes, letting the dazzling light shine into her eyes.

"I say we should go back tomorrow morning. Your feet are blistered."

"what?"

Hong Xia was startled and sat up suddenly.

Ye Mu pointed to the other foot that he was about to massage. There was a crystal blister growing between the big toe and the base of the palm.

"It's okay. I'll just use a needle to prick it. We'll continue shopping tomorrow. Gao Yuancheng hasn't gone yet."

Hongxia bit her lip, the disappointment in her heart was beyond words, but she still spoke stubbornly.

"Don't be so stubborn. In fact, today's Togakushi Shrine is enough. And if there are blisters, if there are no conditions to treat them, it's best not to touch them for now, otherwise it will be more uncomfortable if they get infected."

Seeing that she was a little disappointed, Ye Mu half-jokingly added: "After all, I don't want to see such a beautiful foot get infected and ulcerated."

"Don't say such disgusting things, asshole."

Hong Xia's disappointment was slightly alleviated by his tasteless words, and she scolded with a smile.

"Then...can I still take a hot spring bath tonight?"

She looked towards the balcony and asked nervously.

"It's better not to. After all, some hot water temperatures can also irritate the water, but——"

Ye Mu dragged out the next sentence under Hong Xia's anxious gaze.

"Can't you just lift your right foot up so it's not touching the water?"

"Oh, it seems to be possible!"

Hong Xia said blankly. It seemed that the massage just now was a little too stimulating for her, so that her reaction was much slower.

"Then there is only one last question, Hongxia, do you want me to hold you in the shower? After all, you..."

"Don't even think about it!"

After saying this, Hong Xia limped into the shower room angrily.

…………

After a while, the two were already in the open-air bath, enjoying their last bit of alone time.

Hong Xia's posture was a little funny, because the stones in the water were for people to sit on and were not high enough, so she had to lift her feet up and put them on the shore. But she was afraid that the posture would be too radical and she would expose herself, so she turned sideways to face Ye Mu.

Well, her worries were not groundless. Whenever Ye Mu's eyes accidentally passed by, he would always be inexplicably driven to look at her white thighs.

But he really didn't do it on purpose. It was as if he had an automatic aiming plug-in. As long as his eyes stayed on Hong Xia, his eyeballs would move downwards unconsciously.

It seemed that the intimate massage brought the two closer together, or perhaps it was the desire to say goodbye in advance that drove their conversation tonight to be more in-depth than ever before.

"No wonder this pool is called 'Stars'. Look at the sky."

In order to avoid giving himself another title like "pervert", Ye Mu kept looking up and observing the stars at night.

"But other pools are also fine."

It really is.

Ye Mu carefully identified the starry sky.

Without the horrible light pollution of Tokyo, a city that never sleeps, there are many more stars that can be discerned in the sky.

"Cowherd and Weaver Girl, that's what we call those two stars over there, I don't know what they are called in Japan."

"Which two?"

Hongxia also looked at the deep blue night sky curiously.

Ye Mu stretched out his arm, which was countless times thinner than the boundless night sky, and pointed lightly.

"Heh, suddenly I feel that Ye Jun is so stupid."

Hong Xia said with a chuckle.

"I seem to have heard that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are a pair of lovers who only see each other once a year."

"Hongxia knows a lot."

"When it comes to love, can't you just copy others and stop being so fickle? I feel angry for Pochi-chan."

Having said that, Hongxia still felt a little guilty about saying it. After all, what she was doing now seemed to make Xiao Bochi angry as well.

"I have never threatened Liang. You know her personality," Ye Mu shook his head and did not refute. "I can only say that sometimes, traditional concepts may not always be appropriate."

“But I really feel sorry for little Pochi. I can only spend more time with her and, with her approval, help her improve her overly socially anxious and weak personality…

Of course, the most important thing is to protect her until she can stand on her own."

Little Pochi was well protected by him. Hongxia understood what he wanted to express, but for some reason she felt uncomfortable inside and only gave a sour answer.

“Then you really did your job.”

"What about Hongxia? Why does Hongxia always like to play the role of an older sister? You are obviously just a high school student who is slightly older than them, but sometimes you even want to take care of me, who is two years older than you."

me?

Hong Xia was stunned.

Chapter 121 A Promise That Cannot Be Broken

The happier you are when you come, the more reluctant you will be when you leave.

On the return train, the two did not choose to take the express line because Hongxia wanted to "appreciate the mountain scenery along the way", so when they bought the tickets, they chose the slower line which was relatively longer but had better scenery.

It was still a window seat, but the difference was that both of them were silent along the way. The journey of more than a hundred kilometers in just one day was like a dream, and it took a long time to wake up from the trance.

"Hongxia, maybe you didn't get enough rest last night? You seem to be in a daze today."
