Looking up, through the dim light, you can see tiny stars hanging in the sky. No matter where you are, the starry sky is always so deep and beautiful.

"Different lives indeed have different interests..."

Liu Hao's sigh was echoed by another person.

"Of course, you understand this."

"I should be the one saying this..."

Ain's voice caused Liu Hao to subconsciously tease him. As for why he suddenly stopped, it was because Liu Hao suddenly realized halfway through his words that Ain's voice came from behind him instead of from the other side of the bamboo wall.

Liu Hao turned around and found Aiyin sticking her head out from the entrance to the locker room. She had one hand covering her eyes, but the gaps between her fingers made it look as if she wasn't covering anything. Her long pink hair was loose, and she looked cute, like someone trying to cover up her own mistakes.

"Pervert!"

Although Aine couldn't see anything except the back of her head from this angle, Liu Hao still quickly picked up the bath towel beside her and wrapped her vital parts.

"Aine, Aine, I didn't expect you to be this kind of girl!"

Aine knew she was in the wrong, but she still retorted, "What's wrong with me?"

"This is the men's bath. What's wrong with you?"

"There's no one else."

"What if there is one? It's okay if you see me, but if there's an old man in there and you see his body, my innocence will be ruined."

Aiyin knew Liu Hao was joking, but she had no way to refute it, so she simply didn't refute it. She narrowed her eyes and a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Oh? So it doesn't matter to me seeing you? Or... do you want me to see your body?"

"You actually have such thoughts?"

Liu Hao was a seasoned man, so how could he answer such a preconceived question? He simply said in a resentful tone, "I treat you as a friend, yet you're greedy for my body..."

"Pfft-"

"puff--"

Aiyin burst out laughing, and Liu Hao couldn't hold it back either. Their clear laughter seemed a little muffled in the mist.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"Well... didn't you say you needed to stretch your thighs to relieve the pain? I thought I'd go for a walk." Aiyin twirled her pink hair with her slender white fingers, her eyes wandering as she spoke, "But this is the countryside, and I'm a little scared as a girl... so I wanted you to accompany me."

Liu Hao said, "Are you still afraid?"

“What’s wrong? I’m also a weak girl!” Aiyin’s cheeks flushed, and she suddenly felt a little shy. “If you don’t want to, then forget it.”

"Then you go out first."

"You really won't accompany me? What about our friendship as a stress-resistant duo?"

"Nonsense." Liu Hao said unhappily, "You want to stand here and watch me get dressed? Fine, fine, I'll let you see China's strongest body..."

Liu Hao was about to stand up, but Aiyin screamed and ran out quickly.

Looking at the girl's back, Liu Hao smiled, but then frowned. He found that he seemed to be getting more and more impolite when talking to Aine. Although what he said just now was a joke, it was actually quite offensive when you look closely. It was probably because of Aine's cheerfulness, and the fact that they understood each other, so it didn't matter if she made some excessive jokes, so she was very relaxed.

It’s better to be a little more careful. Some jokes can be played on roommates, but it’s a bit too much on girls.

Liu Hao observed for a while and made sure that Aiyin had left. Then he went up to take a shower and wiped his body with a towel. Still wearing the yukata provided by the hotel, he walked to the door of the changing room.

"so slow!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? You're talking as if you can only walk a few steps."

"Huh, you underestimate me? You'll see how powerful I am soon."

The gentle proprietress gave some instructions and bowed to the two men. They also bowed and walked out of the hot spring hotel chatting and laughing.

At this time, Nagasaki Suyo endured the pain in her knees and thighs and walked into the women's bath.

The girl did not soak in the hot spring, but stood by the bamboo wall, calling softly:

"Mr. Liu, can you hear me?"

There was no response, so Su Shi's voice became louder.

"Mr. Liu, can you hear me now?"

"Are you still taking a hot spring bath?"

"I want to go for a walk, can you come with me?"

No matter how many times the girl called out, there was no response from the other side. Finally, Su Shi could not hold back any longer. She walked carefully into the men's bath, only to find that there was no one inside.

"Ms. Hibiki, have you seen the boy who came with us?"

The proprietress replied, "Yes, he just went out for a walk with your pink-haired lady."

"..."

Su Shi bit her lip. She didn't expect that she and Ai Yin had the same idea. Without much hesitation, the girl walked into the night with her sore legs.

Volume 124: Chapter Chapter Aine's Determination

Even in the countryside of Tokyo, the street lights at night cannot cover too much of the road, and it appears deep and dark under the shadow of the mountains.

But this was not a problem. Wearing the wooden clogs provided by the hot spring hotel, Aine walked as slowly as a turtle. She would consider it a success if she could just walk around the hotel. She would never go to those dark places without lights.

This is a mountainous area, and the mountain breeze at night may be mixed with the snow from Mount Fuji, bringing bursts of coolness. The yukata provided by the hotel is very thin and not close-fitting enough, so it is easy for the wind to leak in, blowing out small goose bumps on the skin.

But fortunately, I had just taken a bath and my body was very warm, which could completely offset the invasion of the night mountain breeze.

"I'm so happy today."

Chihaya Aine looked up at the stars in the sky, blinked at Liu Hao and said, "If it were me in the past, I definitely wouldn't have been able to make it to the top of the mountain. I would try hard, but would give up when it became too difficult. It turns out that I should have persisted to the end. The scenery at the top of the mountain is really beautiful."

Liu Hao smiled and said, "You guys are happy, but I've suffered a lot."

"I'm still suffering, but I'm still with five beautiful girls. This is a blessing that many people would beg for."

Liu Hao nodded and said, "Indeed, if there were one more person, my hand would have been dislocated by you."

"Humph, you don't know how to appreciate your blessings. You've touched all the girls' hands. What else do you want?"

Liu Hao chuckled and said, "You make it sound like I really want to touch it."

Aiyin curled her lips, her beautiful pink hair swaying in the wind. She walked beside Liu Hao, the girl's shoulder lightly touching the boy's arm, and occasionally the backs of their hands would bump into each other, but Liu Hao didn't react at all, as if he didn't understand the girl's hint at all.

"But to be honest, after today, we really are more like a team than before." Aine pursed her delicate lips and said, "Before, I could clearly feel that, apart from you and Deng, Su Shi and Li Xi were quite... well, reserved towards me, and our conversations seemed like routine... Now, Li Xi is actually quite tough on the outside but soft on the inside, and Su Shi doesn't seem particularly easy to get along with, but she's not that difficult either."

"Well, because everyone is actually pretty nice, and we don't have any conflicts. We can get along well anyway."

Liu Hao nodded, thinking that his team-building plan was a genius idea. Nothing could better promote everyone's feelings than the memory of overcoming difficulties together.

"Yes, everyone is a good person."

Aiyin pondered for a moment, her left hand unconsciously twisting a strand of hair. She turned sideways and looked at Liu Hao's angular profile under the dim street light. He seemed very tough, but in the girl's mind, he was the most gentle person. He was obviously neither fashionable nor a super handsome guy, but she couldn't help but feel her heart beating fast.

The girl wasn't one to hide things. She tugged at Liu Hao's sleeve and said directly, "Liu Hao, I want to ask you a question."

"what is the problem?"

"Are you and Su Shi a couple?"

"what?"

Aiyin noticed the surprise in Liu Hao's tone, and her heart suddenly relaxed a lot. She put her hands behind her back, full of girlish joy and prettiness, and explained, "Because you and Su Shi always come to the rehearsal room together and go home together, and you seem to be very close. I've caught Su Shi secretly looking at you several times, and she seems to care about you very much. Today, she even asked you to come to the women's bath... No matter how you look at it, you must be a couple, right?"

"Of course not, she and I just have a good relationship."

Liu Hao hesitated for a moment before shaking his head in denial. He had little experience with the opposite sex, but he also knew that without mutual confirmation, they couldn't be considered a couple. Did Su Shi like him or was she attached to him? Was he attracted to Su Shi, or was he simply admiring this gentle and mature girl?

If this feeling is really love, then he seems to like Toyokawa Shoko a little more?

Liu Hao suddenly felt that his interpersonal relationships seemed a bit tangled and tangled. Could there be no pure friendship between men and women? The world was really changing, and people's hearts were no longer the same. Well, it seemed that he himself was one of those people, so it was okay.

“We have a very good relationship…” Aine narrowed her eyes and asked unwillingly, “How good is it?”

Liu Hao glanced at Ai Yin and said teasingly, "She's so good that if I scold you, she will say yes, yes, yes without hesitation."

"That's nothing. If you curse Su Shi, I can say yes without hesitation."

"I'm sorry, I can't scold Su Shi."

"That's too much! How can you be so hypocritical!"

Aiyin cutely bared her fangs at Liu Hao, thinking, "So, Su Shi is still more important to you?" ...But it doesn't matter. Su Shi knew you before me, and she obviously likes you, so it's normal for her feelings to be deeper. After all, you two are not a couple yet, so I still have a chance.

"Humph, since we're not a couple, I'm not trying to steal someone else's girl. This is fair competition."

A mountain breeze blew by, and Aine felt the cool breeze seeping into her body through her yukata. Unlike Liu Hao, she had not just soaked in a hot spring. Her slender body trembled, and she hugged herself and said, "I'm so cold..."

"Then it's a good time to go back. If you catch a cold, it will be more trouble than good."

"It's still a long way back." Aiyin winked at Liu Hao, her beautiful face radiating a charming innocence. "I might not be able to hold on."

"It's not far at all. We only walked a few hundred meters when we got out."

"My legs hurt so much, I can't walk anymore~"

"You took the initiative to go out for a walk. Mature people should be responsible for their words and actions."

Liu Hao ignored Aiyin's hint and turned around to lead the way. Although he had broken the rules many times today, it was all to help the girls climb the mountain and he had to have intimate contact. He should still be careful in normal circumstances.

"I'm not a mature person."

As Aiyin spoke, she took a step forward and directly hugged Liuhao's arm. The girl's figure was only beautiful in its youthfulness, but Liuhao could fully feel the soft and firm wonderful touch through only a thin layer of fabric. He turned his head to see Aiyin's face, with a bright smile and her thin lips raised, and the beautiful curve was full of lovely beauty.

How can one not be captivated by the beauty under the moon?

"What are you looking at? You're an adult, and I'm not."

Liu Hao said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I am destined to be a hard worker. Today I am destined to be a crutch for the young ladies."

"Huh~ That's right, this is your fate."

Liu Hao shook his head, feeling the beautiful softness full of vitality, and the beautiful pink hair like spring cherry blossoms brushing against his arms. He couldn't help but reflect in his heart -

Liu Hao, Liu Hao, why did you break your promise so easily again? She's immature and doesn't understand, but you're an adult, and you can't even say no? You're just greedy for her body, you lowly person.

But the feeling of being a bitch is pretty good...

Volume 125: Chapter Chapter I Like You

"What? Su Shi went out to look for us and hasn't come back yet?"

When Yanagi and Aine returned to the hotel, they learned from the proprietress, Ms. Hibiki, that the brown-haired girl had gone out to look for them and had not returned yet.

"How dare this guy go out alone without even a phone... I'm going to go find her."

"I am coming too!"

Aiyin volunteered to go out with Liu Hao, but after just two steps her legs gave way. She held onto the door frame and said to Liu Hao, "Forget it, I won't go. You have to bring Su Shi back."

"Well, go back and cover yourself with a blanket to avoid catching a cold. Su Shi must not have gone far."

Liu Hao waved to Aiyin and walked into the night again.

Chihaya Aine leaned against the door frame, her beautiful eyes hazy as she watched Liu Hao's retreating figure. She waved her hand, then realized something was amiss. Wasn't this encouraging the person she liked to find a fair competitor? It felt... a bit foolish.

But Aine smiled and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Falling in love with the same person only shows that the man is excellent and both of you have good vision.

Besides, Su Shi is also her friend. If Aine's legs were not so sore that she could not walk, she would definitely go out with her to look for Su Shi. The reason of worrying about her safety is enough, nothing more.

The hot spring hotel is located at an intersection, which means there are many directions to go out. Fortunately, Ms. Xiangzi pointed out the direction when Su Shi went out. She went in the direction that Liu Hao and Aine went out.

As for why Liu Hao and Ai Yin did not meet Su Shi, it was because the two of them actually just walked around the hot spring hotel in a small circle and did not walk very far.

So after Liu Hao analyzed the situation briefly, he came up with a reasonable guess that Su Shi should have walked in this direction until dark, and with her current physical strength, she could not walk very far.

This was indeed the case. Just after passing an intersection, Liu Hao saw a lonely figure sitting on the side of the road, with her head down and her hands on her knees. Her slender body wrapped in a yukata was cast a long shadow by the street light, and she looked very aggrieved and lonely.

Su Shi didn't want this to happen either, but after the girl barely walked a few hundred meters, her legs became sore that she couldn't walk any further. She had to sit down on the side of the road to rest for a while. Whether she continued to look for the two people or went back to the hot spring hotel, she needed to recover some strength.

The night wind was very cold, and it easily brought the coolness in through the gaps between the collar and sleeves.

So Su Shi huddled up with her hands on her knees, trying to cope with the cold by warming herself.

She felt cold and sore all over, all alone in the dark. This kind of scene could easily make people have wild thoughts. She might be found by her crush and friends on the roadside soon. There was a warm home just a few hundred meters away, filled with trustworthy band friends. But at this moment, Su Shi still felt as if she had been abandoned by the world again, and the person who could save her was getting further and further away.

My heart is filled with desolation, my eyes are wandering, I am alone in this world...

[So this is the emotion of "Kasuga Shadow"! I didn't really understand it before...]

"Greatly compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, please bless me to have all my wishes come true, to have a steady flow of wealth, to be rich every day, to be wealthy, and to become the richest man in the world... Please don't be ungrateful, or I will be rude."
