Pokémon, but cultural invasion

The two remained silent, listening to each other's even breathing, sinking into the sofa for a long time.

Qishu closed his eyes, and the place that was touched stirred with an overflowing happiness.

She can lie here forever, and surely have a sweet dream.

"So, Miss Qishu, are you satisfied with this test?"

"Yes, it is."

Suddenly, Qi Shu, who had been squinting, thought of something. His movements were fluid and seamless, without the slightest pause or hesitation.

The way they touched her was surprisingly professional.

Then he changed the subject: "But why... are you so skilled at it?"

The sudden, soul-searching question made Izumi-ki freeze.

Sensing the change, Kiju realized something and frowned: "You and Naz... hugged?"

Quanshu seemed to hear the clicking sound of shark teeth.

"Sorry, she probably just wanted to experience what it's like to hug a friend."

He was unwilling to lie to Qishu, for a relationship maintained by lies was ultimately just a mirage.

Her hands, gripping her ribs, were visibly clenched, but she didn't say anything more.

"...Aren't you jealous?"

Kiju thought of Naz, the silly and clumsy girl who could boss people around under the guise of being friends, and the girl with whom she could talk about anything.

The emotions revealed between the lines long ago, emotions that even Naz herself was unaware of, had already betrayed her.

Kiki had also worried and didn't know what to do, but in the end she figured it out.

"Izumi-ki, what are your thoughts?"

"...I want everyone to be happy."

Quanshu's face was tense, and his words were exceptionally frank.

She pursed her lips: "That's absolutely scumbag talk."

"If you dare to come to me with such thoughts, then you should be prepared to be bitten to death by me."

Qi Shu's face was cold, and his shark teeth were grinding together with a clicking sound.

"I care about you and I can't let you go. If being bitten can earn me forgiveness, then please use your mouth."

Quanshu closed her eyes resignedly. If being bitten would solve the problem, that would be the best outcome.

"But please be careful not to actually bite me to death."

Before he could finish speaking, the guy actually took a bite.

Quanshu could feel her get up and give him a heavy bite on the shoulder.

"hiss--"

Qishu slowly released his grip and looked at the teeth marks under his short-sleeved shirt.

Driven by a momentary outburst of anger and a desire for revenge, she really bit hard, so it must have hurt a lot.

She couldn't help but touch the pitted teeth marks with her hand, as if it were a cat licking its wounds in grievance after biting its owner.

No, she felt more wronged than the cat.

I've fallen for a complete scumbag.

"Have you calmed down yet?"

Quanshu opened his eyes, his face gentle.

It was his fault all along. After that summer night, the strange tree suddenly took up residence in his heart and could never be moved away.

Since she cares so much about it, we can only put up with her tantrums, rolling on the ground, biting and chewing.

"No, not yet."

Qi Shu replied sullenly.

She moved against his chest again, pressing closer.

The gleaming shark teeth grew larger and larger in his field of vision, and Izumi couldn't help but feel a chill. Was it going to bite his face this time?

Under his bewildered gaze, Qi Shu pursed his lips and leaned closer.

He instinctively closed his eyes.

Then——

A sweet and soft scent gently touched his lips, like a petal blown away by the wind.

Quanshu opened his eyes in disbelief.

The pink lips of a young girl feel softer than clouds, moist and supple.

She left a mark on Quanshu's lips and then stepped back, staring at him blankly and foolishly, her eyes bright and captivating, as if they could burn through the harsh winter outside the window.

She is the seed of trouble planted by the laurel leaf in the passing of winter and the coming of spring, growing wildly in the bright spring sunshine; she is also the wild vine that bursts open like a bomb, spreading across his past and future; she is also the ever-changing flower bud, offering him delicate and tender flower seeds.

The innocent kiss was like a lock, firmly imprisoning the spring tree, making it impossible to look away.

"So, I'm the first one..."

As if declaring sovereignty, Qi Shu smiled faintly.

Chapter 200 Something's bound to Happen Sooner or Later

"I..."

Quanshu, his throat parched and dry, discovered for the first time how impoverished his language was, and that he could not utter a word.

The uncontrollable heartbeat sent the restless blood to every part of the body.

He gazed at Qi Shu's delicate and pretty face, which was shy and happy, yet also carried a smug smile like a little devil who had succeeded in his scheme.

I felt that things were bound to go wrong sooner or later if things continued like this.

"Don't keep staring at me..."

A small hand reached out and blocked his view, and Qi Shu's slightly trembling voice concealed a belated shyness.

She was the one who took the initiative to give the kiss, and she was also the one who was too shy to look him in the eye.

Not wanting to be timid or flee in panic, he could only reluctantly cover Quanshu's eyes, deceiving himself and burying his head in the sand.

No longer supporting himself, Qi Shu covered his eyes and slowly slumped down, pressing against the firm chest, listening to the rapid thumping of his heart.

Her expression must be very strange right now.

Weird, so weird.

Why did it seem like her whole heart melted just from kissing Izumi?

It was as if simply staying in his arms wasn't enough; she had to become a piping hot, sweet white dumpling and be eaten in one bite.

Even so, Qi Shu still pretended to be nonchalant and said in a hoarse voice, "That was a special case of the lovers' test just now. You can't treat it as the norm, but you can't forget it either."

Kissing is too dangerous; the temperature that melts the heart is enough to burn away all thoughts. My lips were parted for a while, and I felt dizzy, as if I was about to turn into an idiot.

After thinking about it, Qishu decided that she would never allow him to kiss her again, except perhaps when Quanshu begged her.

"I understand. Can you open your eyes now?"

"wait..."

They couldn't leave him with his eyes closed forever, so Qishu got up and resumed the position where he had pinned him down.

"All right."

She moved her hand away.

Suddenly, his vision brightened, and Quanshu, respecting the rule of "not staring at it for too long," turned his head away.

My gaze fell upon the Psyduck keychain on the lower shelf of the transparent coffee table next to the sofa.

"Are you feeling better now?"

He asked the girl how she felt.

Suddenly, two warm little hands cupped his face, gently guiding Quanshu to turn his head and meet those sweet, pinkish-blue eyes.

"I told you not to keep staring..."

"But you must not look away from me; you must keep your eyes on me...that's the best way."

She blinked, and her already pretty face visibly flushed pink under Izumi's gaze.

A rosy glow rose from her cheeks, spreading upwards to the tips of her ears, until it reached a certain threshold.

"Fine, you're still not allowed to look at me!"

Qi Shu then pressed his head with his hand and turned him back towards the coffee table.

"I said stop, what exactly do you want?"

After being tormented for a while, Quanshu could no longer bear it and cried out, "Spare me! If you keep doing this, you'll break my neck sooner or later."

He took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"I have something I want to tell you."

The strange tree immediately quieted down and stopped causing trouble.

After pausing to allow both of them a moment to catch their breath, Quanshu finally spoke, "It was probably a long time ago. I've always been a slow learner."

"It was only when I walked back to my room alone after the summer festival fireworks ended that I realized I might have some feelings for you."

Upon hearing the word "like," her long eyelashes trembled.

"But you flew back to Parthia the next day, so some things I wanted to say to you were put on hold."

"You were talking about a test, and then you ran off like a shot."

"I don't understand you yet, and I'm not sure what I'm thinking either. I need some time to sort out my feelings and figure things out."

"I was bogged down in all sorts of trivial matters, and this thought kept me thinking until the end of the year, when I finally came to a conclusion."

Quanshu exhaled a breath of stale air and solemnly said, "I like you."

"Whether the Summer Night Festival was a real test or a disguise for you, it has nothing to do with me."

"The reason I came here is to tell you my feelings."

"For me, this is not a test, nothing else, just a simple, passionate liking."

"At the same time, I also want to apologize to you for only telling you this now."

After saying this, the shy and confused Qi Shu could no longer hold back and pressed her forehead against his chest.

Holding hands, hugging, kissing... and then what step was it again?

"The sofa is too small, let's sleep in the bed..."

Quanshu was stunned.

I've been pouring my heart out to you, and now you're talking to me about this?

He soon realized that things were not as he had thought; Kiki really wanted to sleep.

He was led around and made to wash up with a new toothbrush and towel.

The short-sleeved base layer is soft and close-fitting, and can be used as pajamas.

Qi Shu, dressed in yellow striped pajamas, crawled into bed, her cascading pinkish-blue hair falling freely.

She excitedly patted another pillow, signaling Quanshu to follow.

"Just one blanket?"
