Su Shi's eyes lit up, her timid expression vanished, and she revealed an incredibly genuine smile, like a silver bell swaying in the wind outside the door. Looking at her, Banai suddenly felt that Su Shi's unexpected shrinking might not be a bad thing after all—it was also his best chance to make up for the regrets of Su Shi's childhood.

He was lost in his self-pity when, in the next moment, Su Shi suddenly raised her smooth neck slightly, and her soft lips gently touched his. The moist, warm touch sent a jolt through his body like an electric current, and Banami's mind went completely blank.

Su Shi quickly released him, her cheeks flushed red, her eyes glistening with tears as she looked at him, her voice barely audible: "Good morning, Onii-chan."

It took Banai a full three seconds to come to his senses, his tongue tied in knots: "Su Shi, you just now..." A strong sense of immorality welled up in his heart—Su Shi had actually kissed his lips! What made him even more flustered was that at this moment, Su Shi's eyes and brows had lost their childish innocence and gained a bit of girlish charm, making his heart pound wildly.

Su Shi blinked her innocent big eyes and asked timidly, "Onii-chan, did I do something strange? Before, after Mom kissed my forehead, I would kiss her lips back like this, and Mom would always smile happily."

Banai breathed a sigh of relief; he had been overthinking things. Su Shi's heart was clearly so pure. He forced a smile and patted her head: "It's not strange, as long as Su Shi is happy."

"Hehe..." Su Shi smiled contentedly, her eyes crinkling. But the next second, she leaned forward and gently pecked Banami's lips. This time, Banami reacted faster, but because they were so close, he couldn't dodge in time. He could clearly feel the softness of the girl's lips, and his body instantly stiffened like a stone—no matter how much he tried to restrain himself, he was still a hot-blooded boy, and such intimacy was far too overwhelming.

"As long as Onii-chan is happy." Su Shi's voice was so gentle it could melt water. Her body pressed lightly against his arm, and her youthful body revealed a hint of the maternal charm that Su Shi originally possessed.

Seeing that he couldn't stay any longer, Banai suddenly threw off the covers, almost putting his shoes on backwards, and said in a trembling voice, "I... I'll go downstairs and prepare breakfast for you!" He practically fled in panic, almost bumping into the door frame as he reached the door.

Su Shi watched his flustered back and a sly smile curled at the corner of her lips.

It's like an old sow wearing a bra, one set after another!

She knew that Banami still treated her like a clueless girl, completely unaware that she had already seen the secret on his phone and had fallen into her little trap from the moment he woke up.

However, Su Shi's feelings for Banami are somewhat different from her future self. In the future, she is purely a young girl's infatuation, while in the present, she sees Banami more as a missing father figure, carrying a touch of budding Oedipus complex.

He didn't know that a girl's maturity often comes the moment she understands the taste of "love." To stop Chihaya Aine, that "scheming girl," she was growing at an astonishing pace.

Thinking of how Banami had fled with her legs tucked together, Suze's cheeks flushed red. In this information-saturated age, the precocious Suze wasn't ignorant of romantic feelings between men and women, but rather lacked practical understanding. She took out her phone, opened her browser, and started scrolling through her future self's browsing history, her face growing redder with each page.

"Do boys prefer purple or black underwear?" "What's it like to experience it for the first time?" "Why does my body feel weak when I hold my boyfriend's hand?" "My boyfriend's bra is too big, what should I do?" "Would it be more comfortable if I didn't wear one the first time?"

"What a repressed, wicked woman." Su Shi spat at the screen, but couldn't help glancing at it a few more times, feeling a strange pang of jealousy for her future self. These scattered notes were simply not enough; she suddenly remembered her habit of writing a diary—what if her future self retained this habit?

She immediately opened the diary app on her phone, entered the password, and a series of titles appeared on the screen, making her eyes light up as if she had discovered a treasure:

"Summary of Male Physiology," "A Complete Guide to Boys' Arousal," "First-Time Learning: From Beginner to Expert," "Tips for Accurately Locating Your Partner's Sensitive Spots"

Su Shi gripped her phone tightly with excitement, only one thought in her mind—the old man had finally unleashed the Burning Technique!

****

After escaping downstairs and having the landlady prepare breakfast, Banami finally cleared her mind and thought, "Banami, you can't do something so greedy."

Just then, Ai Yin woke up and stretched gently, creating a beautiful scene.

Compared to Suze, who has now degenerated into an A cup, Anon-chan is definitely more invincible, hmm.

Banami mentally hypnotized herself like this. Aine moved closer to Banami and said, "Good morning, Yuu-kun. Aren't you going to give me a good morning kiss?"

Upon hearing the words "good morning kiss," Banami's expression stiffened slightly, but she quickly walked over, intending to kiss the other person's lips naturally.

But in that instant, he remembered his lips had just touched Su Shi's...

The image flashed through her mind, and the next moment, Banami's lips were kissing Aine's forehead.

"Good morning." He gave a somewhat stiff smile.

Ai Yin touched her forehead and said, "Hmph, good morning."

My boyfriend is so conservative!

Ai Yin thought to herself with dissatisfaction.

Chapter 19. Banami, you shameful bastard!

Su Shi hid her phone in her yukata pocket. The explicit and blatant "burning techniques" in the diary made her cheeks burn, but when she thought of how Banai had fled in panic that morning, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.

She straightened her collar in front of the vanity mirror, deliberately letting a few strands of hair fall down beside her face, adding a touch of fragility.

The wooden staircase leading downstairs creaked slightly, and the aroma of miso soup wafted from the restaurant. As Su Shi reached the door, she bumped into Banami, whose hand holding chopsticks was frozen in mid-air, her body seemingly frozen in place.

His gaze fell on the girl, and the moment his eyes met hers, which were as clear as spring water, Banami instinctively looked away, even slowing down her chewing.

The thought of those two soft touches that morning made Banami's heart pound uncontrollably, and she even felt a pang of guilt towards Aine.

Banami kept telling herself, "Banami Yuu, wake up! This isn't your mother, Su Shi."

However, compared to the boy's panic, Su Shi seemed completely unaffected. Her bright eyes swept over Banami before turning to Aine, who was bending down to serve rice. Her voice was as clear as a wind chime: "Good morning, Aine-neechan!"

She walked quickly over, her skirt brushing against the tatami mat, leaving a soft rustling sound.

"Oh, Soyorin, you're finally down!" Ai Yin immediately put down her soup bowl, opened her arms and hugged her, affectionately rubbing her head. "When I woke up this morning, I touched the pillow and it was empty. I thought you had gone somewhere."

"I'm going to soak in the morning hot spring." Su Shi leaned on Aine's shoulder, her voice soft. "The hot spring water in the early morning is so comfortable, and the mist floating on the surface makes it feel like you're soaking in the sea. It's so interesting." As she spoke, she deliberately turned her face over Aine's shoulder to look at Banami. Her eyes were so gentle they could melt, and a faint smile played on her lips. This slightly mature and charming look contrasted with her somewhat youthful face.

Damn it, Nagasaki Motoyo, how can you show such a maternal expression at such a young age?

Seeing that Banai was gripping the chopsticks even tighter, he began to have some doubts.

No, how come he could smell something spoiled?

The three sat down around a low table, on which was laid out an exquisite Japanese breakfast: steaming hot mixed vegetable stew, golden grilled cod, white rice sprinkled with seaweed flakes, and a small dish of pickled plums.

Ai Yin scooped up a spoonful of the mixed vegetable stew, tasted it, and showed a satisfied expression: "This mixed vegetable stew tastes really good, and the taro is stewed until it's soft and powdery!"

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of taro coated in broth and held it to Hanami's lips, her voice sweet and charming, "Yu-kun, ah—"

Banami's gaze unconsciously drifted towards Su Shi, and sure enough, he saw that the corners of her mouth were slightly downturned and her cheeks were slightly puffed up, like a little pufferfish that had been inflated by anger. You could even hang a soy sauce bottle on the corner of her mouth. He felt a little uneasy: Wait, what's with this chaotic atmosphere? He just wanted to make up for Su Shi's childhood regrets.

"Ah!" But under Ai Yin's expectant gaze and Su Shi's resentful stare, he still forced himself to open his mouth. The soft and glutinous taro melted on his tongue, but he couldn't taste any flavor. He just felt uncomfortable all over.

"Su Shi, have a piece too!" Ai Yin finally remembered the little girl next to her, picked up another piece of taro and handed it to her, smiling with a doting expression.

Su Shi instantly switched back to cheerful mode, her eyes curving into crescents, and she called out in a clear voice, "Thank you, Sister Ai Yin!"

"It tastes so good!" The girl smiled brightly.

This emotional value is off the charts, and Ai Yin immediately showed a happy expression: "Right, right?"

They've practically turned this silly girl into a pervert.

But the next second, Su Shi picked up a piece of cod that was grilled until it was crispy, held it to Hanami's lips with her chopsticks, and said in a sweet and soft voice, "Onii-chan, ah—open your mouth."

The aroma of cod wafted into her nostrils, and Banami noticed the slight grievance hidden in Suze's eyes—a look that was a mixture of expectation and unease, like a kitten afraid of being abandoned.

With Aine witnessing this, Banami couldn't bring herself to refuse; otherwise, it would seem very strange.

Resigned to his fate, he opened his mouth, and the moment his teeth touched the chopsticks, he inadvertently felt the warmth of Su Shi's fingers on his lips.

The cod was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a subtle sea salt flavor, but all he could think about was that unintentional touch on his skin.

"Me too! Me too!" Ai Yin immediately leaned over and opened her mouth like Su Shi, "Little Su Shi, feed me a piece too!"

Su Shi acted as if she hadn't heard, put down her chopsticks, looked down at her bowl, and said with feigned surprise, "Sorry, Sister Aine, I just finished my cod." As she spoke, she deliberately pushed the empty bowl toward Aine, showing an innocent expression.

Aine paused for a moment, then laughed awkwardly, "Really, next time, Su Shi, you have to feed me first, even though I spoil you so much." She was completely unaware of Su Shi's little scheme and turned to serve the miso soup again.

Su Shi held the chopsticks she had just used to feed Banami, gently putting them in her mouth, her tongue lightly licking the tip. The morning light fell on her rosy lips, giving them a glistening sheen. She looked up at Banami, her eyes as tender and alluring as clinging vines.

Seeing that his throat was dry, Banai hurriedly picked up his teacup and gulped down a large mouthful of cold water.

He glanced at Aine, who was engrossed in drinking soup beside him—she was wearing a loose yukata, her curves still alluring, but at this moment, she seemed inexplicably "dull" in his eyes, like an incompetent wife kept in the dark.

****

Breakfast ended in an eerie atmosphere. Aine wiped her mouth, remembering the morning hot spring that Suze had mentioned, and her heart stirred with anticipation. She grabbed Banami's arm: "Yu-kun, let's go to the hot spring too!"

Her tone was expectant, and her fingertips gently scratched Banami's palm, displaying a carefree and affectionate manner.

Just as Banami was about to respond, she heard Suze's voice interrupt, her tone serious: "Aine-neechan, even couples should maintain a healthy relationship."

She walked between the two of them, tilted her little face up, and looked just like a discipline officer in school.

Aine's face flushed instantly, as if her little secret had been exposed. She waved her hand awkwardly, "Oh, Su Shi, what are you talking about? I just asked Xi-kun to go to the hot springs, literally!"

Having said that, she seemed a little embarrassed. She hurriedly grabbed her bathrobe and ran towards the hot spring as if fleeing. Even Aine couldn't hold back when Su Shi was criticizing her, but she didn't notice the smugness that flashed in the girl's eyes.

Only Banami and Suze remained in the restaurant. The air instantly became quiet, with only the intermittent sound of the waves drifting in from outside the window. Banami took a deep breath and said bluntly, "Suze, you're acting a little strange today."

Then, as if afraid that such a firm stance might hurt the other person, her tone softened: "It's not that you're doing this wrong, it's just... you're not suitable for this yet, wait until you change back..."

But before she could finish speaking, Su Shi's expression instantly fell. She lowered her eyelids, her face pale with fear, looking pitiful. Her voice was timid: "I'm sorry, Onii-chan... Did I really disturb you and Aine-neechan?"

She sniffed, her shoulders trembling slightly. "I'm sorry, I was too presumptuous. I... I was just... afraid that Onii-chan and Aine-neechan would get closer and closer, and then... and then they would ignore me."

As she spoke, tears actually fell, sliding down her cheeks and into her collar, making Banami's heart clench.

Small pot tea, made by masters, but it's precisely this kind of thing that Banaijian loves the most.

If it were anyone else, Bana would have seen through the other person's pretense at a glance, but the other person is Nagasaki Motoyo. This child has indeed lacked normal family affection since childhood, and now, she probably just sees him as a lifeline.

He instantly understood: Su Shi was simply too insecure, which was why she was clinging to him in this way, and her possessiveness was understandable. It was much better than the situation he had previously worried about.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Banami quickly got up, walked to her side, and reached out to wipe her tears, but then felt it was inappropriate. In the end, she just gently patted her back. "Even if Aine and I are close, I will never distance myself from you, and I will never treat you as a burden or a third wheel. You are just as important to me as Aine."

After figuring it out, he started radiating his succubus aura again. All I can say is, neither of you should criticize the other.

Su Shi sobbed, secretly peeking at him through her fingers. After confirming that he was sincere, she cried out in her heart: Sisters, the Burning Technique really works.

In Su Shi's cell phone diary, there is a post that specifically analyzes Banami Yu's personality. Simply put, in her future self's eyes, Banami Yu is a fool who is easily swayed by kindness but not by force, and who is more likely to unconditionally trust the people she is closest to.

It is precisely because he is such a good person who is easily deceived by his own people that he makes his future self even more worried.

After experiencing it firsthand, Su Shi had similar thoughts: What if this boy gets scammed if I'm not by his side?

Triangle Chuhua: Yes, what should we do?

Thinking of this, Su Shi felt inexplicably angry.

Then, she continued, feigning sadness and choking back tears, "But Mom said that men never tell the truth..."

Banami almost choked on her words and twisted her back. She was both amused and exasperated. What exactly did you teach your daughter, Ms. Nagasaki?!

"Then what do you want me to believe you? Tell me, and I'll do anything I can to make you believe me."

She pursed her lips, looking embarrassed: "Unless... Onii-chan lets me sit on your lap."

She lowered her head, her cheeks flushed pink. "Actually, I've wanted to try this feeling for a long time. Back in kindergarten, I was so envious of the other kids who sat on their dads' laps and acted like spoiled children..."

Then, seeing Banami's stiff expression, Sose asked timidly, "Is it... not okay?"

Looking into Su Shi's pure and expectant eyes, he couldn't bring himself to refuse. Finally, he sighed, sat down at the low table, and patted his thigh: "Come on."

Su Shi immediately stopped crying and smiled, carefully lifting her leg and gently sitting on his lap, her movements as gentle as a kitten.

She was very light, yet possessed a soft, youthful quality. Her legs rested gently beside his, which made Banami feel somewhat tormented. Even though all of Suze's nutrients had gone to Aine, her thighs had unexpectedly retained a little bit of flesh...

"Onii-chan's embrace is so warm!" The girl said in a seemingly innocent tone, looking happy.

She gradually broke down the other person's defenses, like slowly boiling a frog in water.

Banami's body stiffened instantly, like a stone. He could clearly feel Sue's body temperature seeping through the thin yukata, and the girl's hair brushed against his neck, tickling him and sending shivers down his spine. His hands hung limply in the air, unsure of where to put them, and finally he could only gently place them on Sue's waist, not daring to exert any force.

A sense of guilt welled up inside him: "Hanami, you shameful bastard."

Meanwhile, at the other end of the hotel, Chihaya Aine was enjoying a relaxing soak in the hot spring.

Chapter Twenty: The Burning Technique really works!

Su Shi snuggled closer to Banai and the ticklish sensation of her hair brushing against his nose made him tremble slightly.

Seeing that she couldn't resist the clingy little girl any longer, and remembering that Aine had been soaking in the hot spring for a while, Banai quickly made an excuse: "Sushi, why hasn't your sister Aine come out yet? Go check on the women's bath, just in case something happened."

Su Shi pursed her lips slightly. After learning about the boy's personality from the "Burning Technique," she understood all too well what he was thinking.

However, Su Shi didn't expose his embarrassment and obediently nodded and got up. But as soon as she reached the entrance of the hot spring, she rushed back in a panic, shouting, "Onii-chan! Something's wrong! Aine-neechan has collapsed by the pool!"

Banami's heart tightened, and she rushed into the women's bath. There she saw a girl lying by the bathtub, her eyes bulging as if she was in pain. Since she was bathing alone, her bathrobe was lying next to her. At this moment, her beautiful body was on full display in Banami's eyes. Although she was in a difficult position, it was just too big. Was this the all-around Aine who had borrowed the power of her senior (referring to Kulai Xiku)?

Terrifying, utterly terrifying.

Seeing that Hana was dumbfounded, Suze jumped up in annoyance and said, "Onii-chan, what are you still looking at at a time like this? Hurry up and move Aine-nee out!"

When Banai finally realized what was happening, he was so captivated by her fair and delicate body that he didn't know where to look. He first wrapped the girl's body in a bath towel, then picked her up and carried her into the room. He then asked the landlady to bring some ice.

After Banami carefully gave Aine some water, her breathing became much smoother, and she seemed to be alright.

Su Shi followed beside her, helping to place the ice cube on the girl's forehead, and whispered in Banami's ear: "Aine-neechan must have been thinking about those naughty things with Onii-chan in the hot spring and got so carried away that she fainted."

The image was so vivid that Banami could picture it instantly, and she barely managed to hold back her laughter.

A moment later, Aine's eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly woke up. The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Hachimi's concerned gaze. She instantly remembered why she had fainted, and her face flushed bright red. She wished she could disappear into the ground—she had actually fainted from lack of oxygen because she was too excited about imagining a hot spring scene with Hachimi. How embarrassing!

The two people next to her couldn't help but twitch their lips when they saw her like this. So that's really why you fainted!
