The two looked at each other awkwardly, then quickly looked away.

Fenghua Xiaoxue pretended to be very interested in the cherry blossom tree outside the window, while Shizuka suddenly developed a strong desire to study the pattern on the coffee table.

As Shion slowly walked down the stairs, although she maintained her usual elegant posture, a keen eye would notice that her pace was a little slower than usual.

When she saw the two people in the hall, a hint of understanding flashed in her purple eyes, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

She asked deliberately, with obvious teasing in her voice.

Fenghua Xiaoxue and Shizuka froze at the same time. The former whimpered softly, while the latter nearly knocked over the teacup she had just picked up.

Seeing this, Shion chuckled, sat down gracefully, and took a sip of the black tea that the maid had just brought.

Just then, Tayuya appeared at the stairs with messy red hair.

She looked the most miserable, with red and swollen eyes, as if she hadn't slept all night.

When she saw the three people in the hall, she immediately straightened up like a cat with its fur standing on end.

"Look, what are you looking at!"

She shouted in a timid tone, but her voice was eight octaves higher than usual.

She walked quickly to the farthest seat and accidentally kicked the table leg on the way. She grimaced in pain but managed not to scream.

Just when the atmosphere became extremely awkward, Honglian's footsteps were finally heard on the stairs.

Everyone paused, their eyes simultaneously turning towards the stairs.

Honglian rarely wore a high-necked dark purple kimono today, covering her neck tightly.

Her pace was much slower than usual, and each step was a little unnaturally stiff.

When she appeared in everyone's sight, the air in the hall seemed to freeze.

Fenghua Xiaoxue gasped and the fan in her hand fell to the ground; Shizuka stood up suddenly, then realized her gaffe and quickly sat down; Shion's teacup stopped in mid-air, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes; Tayuya's eyes widened, and her mouth opened so wide that an egg could fit in.

A blush instantly appeared on Honglian's face, spreading from her cheeks to her ears.

Of course she knew why they were looking at her like that—the embarrassing noises from last night were probably heard by the entire building.

Thinking of this, her legs unconsciously became weak, and a feeling of soreness and swelling came from a certain private part, reminding her of the madness of last night.

"Good morning...good morning."

Honglian greeted him calmly, but her voice was a little hoarse than usual.

She deliberately avoided everyone's gaze and walked to the seat in the corner.

However, after taking just two steps, her knees suddenly gave way and she had to hold onto the wall to avoid falling.

"Be careful."

A deep and magnetic voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Bai Ye appeared behind Honglian at some point and held her waist firmly.

This intimate gesture froze Honglian completely. Memories of last night came flooding back, leaving even the tips of her ears red.

Chapter 291: I was tired enough last night, don’t hurt yourself anymore

Bai Ye looks energetic today, in stark contrast to the haggard looks of the girls.

He looked around, a playful smile on his face: "It seems that no one got enough rest last night."

This sentence was like a bomb, instantly detonating the atmosphere in the hall.

Fenghua Xiaoxue let out a small scream, and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground with a "bang".

Shizuka coughed violently and almost choked on her tea.

Tayuya jumped up, and the chair made a harsh sound on the floor.

Even the usually calm Shion turned her face away unnaturally.

Honglian glared at Bai Ye in embarrassment and anger, but was defeated by the other party's teasing gaze and could only bury her face in her hands.

At this moment, she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into, but she couldn't help but recall every detail of last night.

The contradictory feeling of shame and sweetness made her whole body burn.

Bai Ye looked at the group of blushing girls and chuckled, "Now that everyone is here, why don't we have breakfast?"

His gaze swept across everyone's face, finally stopping at Honglian. "After all... I need to make up for the energy I consumed last night."

This sentence became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Fenghua Xiaoxue let out a whimper and threw herself directly into the arms of Shizuka beside her.

Tayuya rushed out of the hall like a frightened rabbit.

Shion rarely showed a panic expression, and the teacup in her hand fell over again.

Honglian completely gave up resisting and pressed her burning cheek against the cold table.

The morning light still shone gently, but the temperature in the hall seemed to have risen several degrees.

Complex emotions were surging in everyone's heart: shame, curiosity, desire...all these emotions intertwined together, making this morning feel particularly long.

Then Bai Ye led everyone to enjoy breakfast.

Bai Ye sat elegantly in the main seat, tapping the table lightly with his slender fingers, his eyes scanning every girl present with interest.

The collar of his shirt was slightly open, revealing his well-defined collarbone, which looked particularly sexy in the morning light.

"Why aren't you moving your chopsticks?"

He deliberately asked, his voice full of ridicule, "You used up so much energy last night, shouldn't you replenish your energy now?"

This sentence made Honglian choke while she was drinking miso soup, and the soup splashed on the collar of her high-collared kimono...

She wiped it hurriedly, but because of her big movements, she accidentally loosened her collar, revealing a small ambiguous red mark.

Fenghua Xiaoxue accidentally caught a glimpse of it and immediately let out a small cry of surprise, and the chopsticks in her hand fell to the table with a "click".

"S-Sorry!"

Honglian hurriedly tightened her collar, her cheeks red as if they were about to bleed.

She lowered her head, wanting to bury her face in the bowl, but because she moved too quickly, her forehead almost hit the edge of the table.

Bai Ye chuckled, stood up, and walked behind Hong Lian. He placed his slender fingers lightly on her shoulders, feeling the body beneath his palm tense instantly.

"Be careful,"

He leaned over and whispered in her ear, his warm breath fanning over the sensitive shell of her ear.

"I was already tired last night, don't hurt yourself again."

Chapter 292: There might be physical activities tonight

The tips of Honglian's ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly.

She could feel the gazes of the other girls and felt so ashamed that she almost fainted, but deep down in her heart, an inexplicable sweetness welled up.

Shizuka chewed the tamagoyaki mechanically, but she couldn't taste it.

Her eyes drifted from time to time to Bai Ye's hand on Honglian's shoulder, and a sense of inexplicable bitterness arose in her heart.

When she realized what she was thinking, she immediately lowered her head in panic and accidentally spilled the soy sauce on her skirt.

"what!"

She wiped it in a hurry and accidentally knocked over the water cup.

The water stain spread across the tablecloth, forming an awkward wet mark.

Fenghua Xiaoxue wanted to help when she saw this, but because she was too nervous, the spoon in her hand fell into the bowl with a "clink".

The splashed soup fell right onto the light pink kimono she had carefully selected, leaving an obvious stain.

"I-I'm going to change my clothes!"

She stammered, and when she stood up she tripped over the leg of a chair and fell forward.

Bai Ye caught her quickly.

Fenghua Xiaoxue threw herself into his arms and could clearly smell the strong male hormones on him.

This realization made her whole body burn, even her neck turned pink.

"Careful..."

She spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito, but was reluctant to move out of Bai Ye's arms.

It was not until he heard Tayuya's cold snort that he jumped away as if waking from a dream.

Tayuya sat in the farthest corner, stabbing viciously at the food on her plate.

She forced herself not to watch the farce over there, but she couldn't help but prick up her ears.

Whenever she heard the tiny sound made by Honglian, her fingers would unconsciously tighten, and she almost broke the chopsticks.

Shion maintained her elegant dining manners, but the teacup in her hand had been empty for a long time, yet she still unconsciously raised it to her lips.

When she discovered this fact, she showed a rare expression of embarrassment, coughed lightly and put down the cup.

"It seems like everyone needs to replenish their energy~"

She said meaningfully, a cunning gleam in her purple eyes.

This sentence made the atmosphere at the table even more awkward.

Honglian's spoon fell onto the plate with a clang.

Shizuka choked on the rice ball and started coughing violently.

Fenghua Xiaoxue buried her face in her hands.

Tayuya stood up straight away, the chair making a harsh sound on the floor.

"I-I'm full!"

Tayuya stammered, turning to leave.

Bai Ye suddenly said: "Tayuya,"

His voice held an undeniable tenderness. "Your plate is barely touched."

Tayuya froze in place, her shoulders trembling slightly as she turned her back to the crowd.

She could feel Bai Ye's gaze on her, and the feeling of being seen through made her angry and her heart beat inexplicably faster.

"I...I'm not hungry!"

She said it stubbornly, but heard her voice tremble slightly.

Bai Ye chuckled, stood up and walked towards her.

Tayuya felt her heartbeat so fast it threatened to burst out of her chest, and when Byakuya's hand rested on her shoulder, her whole body tensed.

"You can't do it without eating."

Bai Ye whispered in her ear, his warm breath making her ears burn, "After all... there may be physical activities tonight."

Tayuya's face suddenly started burning.

She turned around suddenly, but because she moved too quickly, she bumped into Bai Ye's arms.

This surprise stunned both of them, and Tayuya could even feel Bai Ye's strong chest muscles through his shirt.

"S-Sorry!"

She stepped back in panic, but accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt and fell backwards.

Bai Ye quickly put his arms around her waist, and their faces were close to each other.

Tayuya looked at the handsome face that was enlarged in front of her, and her breathing unconsciously stopped.

She could clearly see Bai Ye's thick eyelashes and the playful glint in his deep eyes.
