That's strange, did she take a shower? Normally, whether you're taking a bath or showering, there should be the sound of water running.
Is it because this bathroom is too soundproof that I can't hear anything?
Hayakawa hesitated for a moment before approaching the bathroom door, but still couldn't hear a sound, and couldn't help but frown.
Could it be that she was too tired and fell asleep while taking a bath?
That won't do; you'll catch a cold, and it will be troublesome if it affects the rest of your trip.
Hayakawa thought for a moment, then gently knocked on the door: "Furuhashi, are you in there? When will you be done making your soup?"
There was no response at all.
In the bathroom, Fumino Furuhashi sat in the corner of the bathtub with her legs drawn up, still in a state of self-isolation, her eyes unfocused and clearly unable to receive any information.
"An ancient bridge!"
When Hayakawa saw no response, he raised his voice and knocked on the door more forcefully, but still there was no sound.
It looks like she's really asleep.
Hayakawa stood at the door for a long time, hesitating. Soaking in warm water for too long would definitely make her catch a cold the next day. But it wouldn't be appropriate for her to go in alone since Furuhashi was inside. Normally, she should wait for Ogata Riju to come up, but Ogata Riju hadn't returned yet.
After a brief hesitation, Hayakawa decided to open the door to check on the old bridge. The moment he opened the door, Hayakawa realized the change in himself.
If it were the old him, he would have let Fumino Furuhashi go and waited for Ogata Riju to come back before dealing with it. But things are different now. No matter how stubborn he is, Fumino Furuhashi's recent intimacy with him has changed him a lot, especially the feelings of affection in the two kisses, which gave him a reason to open that door.
"I'm in."
Hayakawa took a deep breath and then went into the bathroom.
Hearing the door open, Fumino Furuhashi, who had been withdrawn, instantly snapped out of her daze. Before she could react, she saw Hayakawa, with her eyes closed, walk to the bathtub.
"Guqiao, are you asleep?"
Hayakawa's vision was completely dark because his eyes were tightly closed. He could only feel his way along the wall to avoid bumping into things through the faint light. He felt the warm, damp breath on his nose and face and gently sniffed it, his voice echoing in the small bathroom.
"Eh?!"
Upon seeing Hayakawa, Fumino Furuhashi was shocked and blushed, exclaiming, "Hayakawa?! How did you get in?!"
She's still naked, so wouldn't Hayakawa see everything?
Fumino Furuhashi's earlobes flushed pink with excitement, and her questioning voice was stammering and incoherent. Although Hayakawa seemed to be politely closing his eyes, who knew if he could see her? What if he was squinting and couldn't tell?
"Oh, you're awake. I'll be going then."
Hearing Furuhashi's voice, Hayakawa felt a little relieved: "I called you several times outside the door but didn't get a response. I thought you had fallen asleep in the bath and came in because I was worried you might catch a cold."
"Who falls asleep while taking a bath? Do you think I'm an idiot like Ri-chan?!"
Fumino Furuhashi was filled with mixed feelings, unsure whether to feel shy or angry. She gritted her teeth and sat up halfway, one hand covering her chest, while the other reached for the pink towel ball hanging on the wall and threw it hard at Hayakawa.
When I mentioned peeping earlier, you gave me that disgusted look, but in the end you still came in to peep, and with such a lame excuse that nobody would believe. Ugh.
So guys are really...
The moment Fumino threw the bath sponge, a thought flashed through her mind, a hint of smugness crossing her heart. It was this momentary lapse in concentration that caused her to lose her footing in the slippery bathtub.
Her foot slipped, and the bath sponge was thrown into the air. To Fumino Furuhashi's alarmed expression, her body naturally leaned backward.
Chapter 355 Kiss
Fumino Furuhashi fell backward, her eyes glazed over in mid-air as she stared blankly at the ceiling, seemingly not yet realizing what had happened. She only managed to let out a short scream.
"Ah!"
Upon hearing her voice, Hayakawa's heart skipped a beat as if pricked by a needle. She opened her eyes abruptly and, upon seeing the scene before her, instinctively lunged forward, catching Fumino Furuhashi just as she was about to fall onto the edge of the bathtub.
At that moment, his body reacted faster than his brain. This was an experience that Hayakawa, who had always believed in dominating everything, had never had before. His body was controlled by a force that was higher than his heart and will, and he was no longer under the control of his brain and himself.
With a sudden dizziness, Hayakawa felt his waist and abdomen slam hard against the white porcelain edge of the bathtub. The pain, as if he had been hit by a stone, made him grimace, but the wet body that was firmly in his hands made him feel at ease, even relieved.
"Ah..."
Fumino Furuhashi closed her eyes in fear, still waiting for the pain that was supposed to come, but the next second she stopped making a sound with some confusion and carefully opened her eyes.
Before her stood Hayakawa, his broad, flat shoulders partially blocking the bathroom light, casting a shadow on her fair skin. His expression was as repulsive as ever, and he was now slightly frowning: "Are you alright?"
Seeing his furrowed brows and seemingly disgusted expression, Fumino Furuhashi immediately remembered her situation. Her pupils contracted sharply, and she struggled violently, twisting her body in Hayakawa's arms: "Let me go! Put me down!"
"do not move!"
As Furuhashi struggled, Hayakawa gasped, his eyes twitching slightly. He felt as if he had twisted his waist, and it hurt terribly.
Upon hearing the sound, Fumino Furuhashi stopped struggling, placing one hand on her chest and the other on her lower body, biting her lower lip hard as she nervously watched Hayakawa.
"you…"
She noticed Hayakawa's pain and guessed that he must have bumped himself somewhere, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she silently turned her head away, her eyes gradually reddening, and said petulantly, "What are you still looking at? Anyway, you don't like me and you despise me!"
She tried to cover her body with her arms out in front of her, but she couldn't hide the magnificent view inside. She could only stare at Hayakawa like an injured cat.
"Ok?"
Hayakawa was immediately stunned: "What are you talking about?"
"Do you want me to say more?"
Fumino Furuhashi's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she said in despair, "Yeah, my figure is so thin it's even worse than an elementary school student's. So what are you even doing here? Anyway, Ri-chan will be back from the hot spring soon. You should go back to your room and wait for her. Her chest is so..."
Fumino Furuhashi paused for a moment, but ultimately did not say those hurtful words.
Feeling her own bitterness, Fumino Furuhashi smiled bitterly to herself. Just one glance from Hayakawa had made her so anxious and insecure. This was true love—it could cause pain, but it was also something you couldn't escape, just like in shoujo manga, and even more profound.
After hearing what Furuhashi said, Hayakawa felt as if his brain was fogged up, and subconsciously explained, "Who complained about your figure?"
I did find fault with Fumino Furuhashi in many ways: I disliked her for having such good grades, for her weak willpower, for her constant thoughts of dieting but inability to control her eating, and for her for her overwhelming power in every exam, mercilessly crushing me.
However, regarding her appearance and figure, although she always complained in her heart, she never really disliked her. After all, Fumino Furuhashi had a beautiful appearance and elegant temperament. She had good grades and unique taste, and was very popular at school. This can be seen from the fact that she had her own dedicated fan club. Her appearance and personality were impeccable. Although her figure was indeed a bit flat, this could not hide her charm. In fact, being poor was a plus for some people.
Why do we always feel sorry for ourselves because of this?
Hayakawa looked at the old bridge, puzzled.
"I don't want to hear what you're saying..."
Fumino Furuhashi lowered her head and spoke softly, making it impossible to see her expression: "Put me down."
Hearing her weak voice, Hayakawa's heart skipped a beat, and a nameless anger swept over him.
In the next instant, Hayakawa decided to do something extreme. He might regret it immediately afterward, and it might even become an indelible black mark on his glorious life. But at this moment, he couldn't resist the impulse in his heart, and even as an emperor, he couldn't control it.
Hayakawa maintained a straight face, her expression blank, and said in a flat but serious tone, "Furuhashi, actually I've always felt that you..."
Fumino Furuhashi's body trembled slightly, and she began to struggle again; she didn't want to hear what Hayakawa was about to say.
"Your figure,"
Hayakawa narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "It's super erotic!"
Fumino Furuhashi: "..."
Looking up blankly at Hayakawa, Fumino tilted her head, seemingly doubting what she had just heard.
What is this guy suddenly saying? I don't understand!
"what are you talking about!"
Fumino Furuhashi was stunned for a moment. Her face, which was slightly flushed from taking a bath, turned extremely red. She reached out and pushed Hayakawa's body hard, forgetting to cover her chest because of her excitement.
Hayakawa lowered his head and kissed the old bridge.
"what?"
Fumino Furuhashi's eyes widened instantly. Feeling the faint touch on her lips, she felt as if she had just hallucinated. Her hands, which had been pushing Hayakawa away forcefully, fell limply, and her body went limp as well.
"you you you…"
Fumino Furuhashi blushed, pointed at Hayakawa incoherently, her mind a complete mess and unable to think straight.
This must be the first time. This is definitely the first time Hayakawa has taken the initiative to kiss someone. In other words, this can be considered her first kiss.
In an instant, Fumino Furuhashi felt a powerful force return to her body, and her lost confidence returned.
"Believe it now."
Hayakawa said expressionlessly, but inwardly he was on the verge of losing his composure.
It was even more shameful than I imagined…
Hayakawa appeared calm, but in reality, he was shivering with shame.
This isn't just a dark history; it's a stain on my life, and it might even become a demon in my heart.
Upon hearing this, Fumino Furuhashi was only taken aback for a moment before immediately saying, "I still don't believe it."
Hayakawa was stunned: "Huh?"
"unless…"
Fumino Furuhashi closed her eyes, then tilted her head back slightly, everything was understood without words.
"..."
Ogata, when are you finally going to come back from your bath?
Five seconds later, a shadow in the bathroom paused for a long time before slowly lowering and gradually intersecting with another figure.
Chapter 356 Let's Go to College Together
"call…"
Rizu Ogata let out a sigh of relief and then stood up from the steaming hot spring.
Soaking in a hot spring is so relaxing; it makes all my fatigue disappear.
Rizu Ogata stretched her arms, feeling an unprecedented lightness that filled her with satisfaction.
I always thought that because of her extraordinary talent, she was under immense pressure that ordinary girls couldn't understand. After a day of studying, her shoulders would often ache terribly, which was why she developed the habit of taking baths. After all, with such a large bust, her body wouldn't be able to keep going if she didn't relax in a hot spring every day.
Wrapped in a bath towel, she reluctantly stepped out of the hot spring with her short legs. She then went to the changing room to dry herself off, changed into a loose bathrobe, and then briefly dried her hair at the public hairdryer.
She dried her hair in no time; that's the advantage of short hair. If it were Fumino Furuhashi, it would probably take her a long time to dry it.
After tidying up, Rizu Ogata glanced down at the underwear in the laundry basket, hesitated for a moment, then pretended not to see it and hid it inside, covering it with a towel.
Having just finished a shower, she felt so refreshed that even Rizu Ogata didn't want to wear underwear anymore.
That's a constraint on myself! I, Riju, will never allow anyone to constrain me!
Rizu Ogata mimicked someone's tone, a slight smile appearing on her lips, and her steps became lighter.
Go back to him.
I took the elevator upstairs and soon arrived at the door of the tatami room I had booked.
Ogata Rizu initially intended to knock, but then, considering Hayakawa's personality, she figured he was most likely reading at this hour. Instead, she laboriously reached into the basket of clothes and pulled them out to the door, then opened it.
"Ok?"
Ogata Rizu entered the room, but found no one at the tatami area in the living room facing the main entrance. Just as she was wondering about this, she heard a strange sound of water coming from the bathroom next door, and walked over without thinking.
As she approached the doorway on the beige floor, the sound grew increasingly strange. Ogata Riju frowned, a strange sense of unease creeping into her heart.
"Hayakawa, Fumino? Is that you...?"
Rizu Ogata's voice was very soft. The feeling of palpitation made her skin inexplicably tense. Her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible. After standing at the door for a while, she gritted her teeth and pushed the door open and went in.
"Hayakawa?"
Rizu Ogata stepped into the bathroom and looked into the depths of the bathroom. She froze on the spot for a moment.
Sitting in the bathtub, Fumino Furuhashi, whose upper body was stretched out like a swan, had her eyes closed a second ago. The next moment, upon hearing that familiar voice, her eyes widened suddenly. When she saw Riju Ogata's figure, she was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her chest. Without thinking, she pushed Hayakawa away and vigorously wiped her slightly swollen pink lips.
Hayakawa was pushed aside by the old bridge and took two steps back, bumping into Ogata Riju behind him. Ogata Riju staggered from the impact and instinctively grabbed the wall next to her.
Seeing this, Fumino Furuhashi thought that Rizu Ogata had fainted from fright, so she stood up in a moment of panic and hurriedly said, "It's not like what you're seeing, Rizu-chan!"
Hayakawa snapped out of her daze and turned around, startled to see Ogata Rizu: "Ogata, you're back?"
"Um…"
Ogata Rizu simply responded with a soft "yes," then calmly looked Furuhashi Fumino up and down, saying with a slightly sour tone, "What do you mean it's not what I think?"
Fumino Furuhashi stammered, "It's just..."
"Fumino..."
