After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

"Huh? Is that so?" The proprietress suddenly looked a little embarrassed. She looked at Xiachuan Zou again with a probing look.

The senior also nodded and gave him a "simple" smile: "That's it, right? Kanade-san?"

Xia Chuan Zou: “…”

"Uh... um... it's like this, we are brother and sister..."

"That's good... Then I'll book a room for you. This way we can save a little money."

Natsukawa Kanade: “……???”

"Is there any problem?" Seeing Xiachuan Kanade's complicated expression, the landlady asked in confusion, "If you are brother and sister, it should be okay to live in the same room, right? Or... are you not..."

"No, no, it's really no problem. I just think... it would be better if we could open two rooms?"

"Although I really want to do this, I'm sorry, the housing supply is a little tight right now because of the heavy rain, and so many people moved in at once. If possible, I hope you can be a little flexible."

"I'm fine." Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke first.

The corner of Xiachuan Zou's mouth twitched, but he could not have any more opinions: "Well, let's do this..."

After all, we stayed in the same room before, so it shouldn't be a problem.

"Okay, then please register the two of you on the list." The proprietress nodded, then took out a writing pad and handed it to Xiachuan Zou.

After taking it, Natsukawa Kanade filled in his own name subconsciously, but when he wanted to write down the name of his senior, he suddenly froze - Kasumigaoka Utaha. If he wrote it like this, people would find out immediately.

"..."

"...what's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing, I'll write it right away." Natsukawa Kanade immediately shook his head, then picked up the pen and slowly wrote the name "Natsukawa Shiyu", and then immediately handed over the form.

However, his attempt to cover up was completely meaningless, as the senior student had been standing next to him.

Looking at the fresh name in the second column, she couldn't help but mutter to herself: "Natsukawa Shiyu, Natsukawa... Shiyu..."

Xia Chuan Zou: “…”

The senior student suddenly laughed and looked at him with a happy expression: "Don't you think it sounds nice?"

Xia Chuan Zou: “…”

What can he do then?

211. Directly make a bad move

Xiachuan Zou originally thought that this was the end, and the awkward situation would end here, but when he was taken to the room by the landlady, he found that this matter would not end at all -

"I'm sorry, it seems that this is the only set of bedding we have, but there is an extra pillow which is just right..." She seemed to be really ashamed, and turned to look at the two of them apologetically, "I'm sorry, if you pay extra, I will give you a discount... But after all, we are brother and sister, right? It shouldn't matter, right?"

Xia Chuan Zou: “…”

So what else can he say?

The key point was that he didn't expect that the hotel with good reputation he carefully selected would actually have this kind of tatami-style room. He thought it was the kind with a bed, and he was ready to sleep on the floor again.

"That's a bit..." He must have felt that this was not a good idea, so he thought about finding another hotel by himself. Unexpectedly, Kasumigaoka Utaha next to him spoke again.

"It's okay, that's all."

There was a completely calm look on her face, as if she was not affected at all by the fact that they would be sleeping in the same bed next.

This made Xiachuan Zou wonder if he was hallucinating.

Kasumigaoka Utaha asked again: "Where is the bathing place? I was accidentally caught in the rain just now, and my hair is sticky and wet..."

Now Xiachuan Zou understood that she really did not raise any objection.

But are you sure? This is not just living in the same room!

However, the other two people in the room did not seem to care about his mood.

"It's at the end of the corridor, sir. You can just go and wash up. I'll bring you your bathrobe." The proprietress said kindly.

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded, then winked at Natsukawa Kanade and said, "Then I'll go take a shower first, Nissan~"

Xia Chuan Zou: “…”

He suddenly felt like covering his face, not because of anything else, but because every time the senior student called out to him like that, he actually felt a little moved in his heart... What a loser!

"Ah, um... um... I see..." He muttered.

I feel like I was speechless more often today than in the past.

After Kasumigaoka Utaha left, he originally wanted to lie down directly, and it would be best if he could fall asleep immediately, so that no matter what happened afterwards, it would have nothing to do with his own wishes, and he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to sleep later. But after staring at the whole bed in a daze for a while, he suddenly felt his body becoming sticky and his heart itchy, as if countless hemp clothes were crawling on his body.

It's so uncomfortable.

"I'd better go take a shower..." he said to himself.

No matter what, it's always okay to wash it first...

After making up his mind, he walked out of the room, said hello to the proprietress first, and then went straight to the end of the corridor - like the women's bathing pool, the men's bathing pool was also on this side, and it was right next to the women's bathing pool, separated only by a few layers of airtight wooden fences.

Of course this is normal. Whether considering water supply or various other factors, such facility layout is definitely more space-saving and more reasonable.

Natsukawa Kanade had no intention of peeping, and he was not a pervert, so he obediently took off his clothes in the locker room, washed his hair and showered himself, then got into the big bath.

The water temperature was just right. Although not as good as a natural hot spring, it was still very helpful in relieving a tired mind. However, the most important thing was that there were absolutely no people in the bathing area. He could almost be said to have reserved the entire place by himself. However, the women's bathing pool next door was quite lively, with the sounds of chatting and laughing coming from time to time.

He finished washing up very quickly, but considering that his senior went to the bathhouse first, he might bump into her if he went out now, so he simply waited a little longer.

As time passed, the sound from the bath next door gradually disappeared. Although he wanted to wait a little longer, it would be too embarrassing if he fainted from the bath.

After walking out of the bathhouse and coming to the locker room, and changing into the bathrobe that had been prepared long ago, Natsukawa Kanade did not go back to the room directly. Instead, he went to the vending machine and bought a can of iced happy water. While tasting it, he stared at the posters on the wall in a daze.

In fact, he only dared to look at the poster and didn't dare to glance around casually. Otherwise, if he saw the small umbrella with the words "On Sale" on the side, his heart would really not be able to calm down anymore.

He wasn't actually that nervous at first, as it was not like he had never lived in the same room with a girl before. But he was going to have to share a bed with a girl, and the most important thing was that the girl wasn't even his girlfriend - this was really the first time for him, so he had very complicated feelings.

He was actually confident that he could control himself, but he couldn't trust the other person in the room. Especially when he found that the senior sister was very cooperative throughout the whole process and didn't seem nervous at all, he became even more panicked, always feeling that she would take the opportunity to do something.

And if the senior student really intervened and accidentally made things complicated, then he really didn't know what would happen next.

After all...he is not a saint, how can he have such impeccable concentration?

"Well... let's take it one step at a time." He sighed, drank the drink in his hand, and then threw it into the trash can.

After that, he walked to the vending machine, looked at the merchandise in the window, hesitated again and again, and finally made up his mind to buy something.

I hope it won't be useful...

Putting the things in his pocket casually, Xia Chuan Zou patted his cheek, forced himself to cheer up, then put on a calm look and walked towards his room.

But when he reached the door, he hesitated again, wondering if he was making a big deal out of nothing. If the senior sister was really so calm just because she trusted him, wouldn't it make him seem like he had ulterior motives?

After all, who would prepare this thing in advance just because they were afraid of hurting the other person? ! It clearly looked like it was premeditated! And even if he could really convince himself, what if the senior sister found out later? He didn't think she would believe his words. If she didn't call the police and arrest him on the spot, it would be considered that the senior sister was broad-minded and generous!

……

Wait! Maybe... No, no, no, that's not the whole story. He could explain it after all, saying that he had thought it over carefully, so he was afraid of being impulsive, and he was trying to prevent himself... No! ... No, that's right! That's right! He should prevent himself! But there are other ways, such as finding a rope and tying his hands together. Wouldn't that be absolutely safe?

At least this way he wouldn't be able to act rashly anymore! After all, there was no reason for the senior to come up and untie him!

Really, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was a good one, so he immediately ran to the front desk, wanting to borrow a rope from the proprietress. However, as he walked, when he was almost there, he suddenly realized a problem - what they had said to the proprietress before was that they were brother and sister, so what should he say when he borrowed the rope next?

I'm sorry, I wanted to borrow a rope to tie my hands because I was afraid I couldn't control myself - Aren't you my brother's? Are you afraid you can't control yourself? I'm going to call the police to arrest you!

It's really hard not to end up like this...

So Natsukawa Kanade was in trouble again.

Now he just hated it and was very annoyed. He was annoyed at why he always liked to think so much. If he was a simple-minded person, it would be much better. He would have gone into the room by now, and might even have been sleeping soundly. He wouldn't care about the nonsense of sleeping in the same bed or not...

Tsk, in the final analysis it is because he has too much energy. Perhaps he should increase the intensity of his daily exercise.

But now is really not the time to think about this kind of thing, but he really can't think of a better way...

………………

Forget it, just go and die, and don't think about it anymore.

He just let his brain run wild and didn't care what happened next.

Do whatever you want.

212. Only You Are Special

Returning to the door of the room again, Xia Chuan Zou took a deep breath, then slowly pushed the door open and walked in.

Until this moment, he still had expectations in his heart, hoping that the senior sister really only acted so calm because she trusted him. However, the next moment he knew that things were not that simple.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was sitting on her knees facing the door. When she saw him, she bowed down decisively, saying, "I am not talented, please give me some pointers..."

Xia Chuan Zou didn't even finish listening and immediately closed the door again. He felt that the way he opened the door was completely wrong.

Anyway, after taking a deep breath again, he tried to open the door again——

This time, the senior schoolmate seemed a little more obedient. Although she was still kneeling, she just tilted her head and looked at him, as if expressing doubt.

Xia Chuan Zou: “…”

He was still confused, why did you perform first?

After thinking it over carefully, he felt that it might be better for him to take the initiative at this time. At least he could control the rhythm of the conversation. So he spoke seriously: "Senior, I have something very important to tell you first."

After thinking it over, he felt that it would be best to talk about the matter openly. At least this would prove that he had really thought about it seriously.

"Hmm? What's going on, Nissan~?"

"..."

Very good! I'm afraid this brother and sister setting won't work today!

But since he had taken the initiative to speak, Natsukawa Sou naturally did not hesitate any more, and knelt down decisively as well. Facing Kasumigaoka Utaha, he spoke again with a serious expression: "First of all, I, Natsukawa Sou, am a high school boy who is both physically and mentally healthy..."

"Well, I'm not sure about this. After all, I haven't watched it completely..."

"..."

What exactly do you want to see to be sure?

Natsukawa Kanade took a deep breath but forced himself to calm down.

"Anyway, I'm a boy - and you, Kasumigaoka Utaha, are... no, I should say - you are indeed a... Please forgive my lack of vocabulary, but I do think you are a very beautiful and charismatic person."

Whether it's the personality of not fearing danger, being perseverant, and always pursuing something unremittingly once she's determined to do so, or the fact that she's good at interpreting and understanding others, able to fulfill her responsibilities as a senior, and always able to gently guide and support others from behind (even to Eriri, although her methods are actually quite excessive), he finds her very attractive and charming.

Like other things, all of these combined together are the elements that make up the person of Kasumigaoka Utaha. Although there are indeed some troublesome aspects, why can't this be part of the appeal of the senior?

"..."

Although the other party had not replied yet, Xiachuan Zou could clearly feel that the senior seemed to be in a happier mood.

So he struck while the iron was hot again and said, "So, regarding the fact that the two of us are now in the same room and will be sleeping in the same bed later, I must first make a few points clear."

"Yeah, yeah, Nisan, go on. I'll listen carefully."

"..., first of all - although I am confident that I can control myself and not... attack you, I actually can't guarantee that I can control myself 100%. " Xia Chuan Zou said with a complicated expression.

Indeed, having confidence does not mean you can definitely control yourself. After all, other factors must be considered. However, when he said it himself, it felt like a "crime notice", as if he was finding a way out for himself in advance - oh, I may not be able to control myself, so you can't blame me for what I do later, because I was affected by other reasons.

This is clearly a real scumbag!

Well, I can only say that I hope you don’t think about this.

"Attack me..." Kasumigaoka Utaha muttered to herself, then looked at him with a half-smile, "I don't seem to understand, Nissan~, can you explain it to me a little bit?"
