Will you help me?
“No problem,” Ayano replied quickly.
She's had various maid-specific training programs since she was a child, so this isn't a problem for her at all.
All that remained around were Qiu Bai and Xue Feng.
Qiu Bai looked up at the setting sun in the west, which was dyeing the clouds on the horizon red, and couldn't help but sigh:
"It's rare to see the sunset, it's really nice... Yukikaze, did you have fun?"
Xuefeng glanced to the other side, where the moon was slowly rising from the east, and it was much darker there.
This reminded Xuefeng of last night, and his heart involuntarily quickened.
"Um... I'm talking about what happened to Qiu Bai last night..."
Her gaze fell on Qiu Bai, and after a slight pause, she continued, "You'll take responsibility...right?"
When Qiu Bai saw that she had brought up the matter, the corners of her mouth also turned up.
"Of course, I will take responsibility for you."
He moved closer to Yukikaze and took her small hand in his. Even though Yukikaze had undergone various forms of training, her hand was still so soft.
Very elastic.
Qiu Bai even squeezed it a bit, and it felt great to the touch.
"Hmm..." Xuefeng's lips curled up, and she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she squeezed Qiubai's hand tightly and replied, "That's good..."
Let's go in.
She didn't intend to continue talking to Qiu Bai, but instead looked towards the door of the Jiu family.
This is Qiu Bai's home, and it's also her home.
For Yukikaze at this time, living with everyone seemed quite nice.
If it were my past self, I definitely wouldn't have been able to tolerate it, right?
Qiu Bai also noticed that Xue Feng had come to terms with things, and his smile widened as he spoke to Xue Feng:
"Okay, let's go home then."
Chapter 146 Dating
As dusk deepened, Qiu Bai dragged his weary body home, ate a quick dinner, and went straight to his room.
As I pushed open the door, soft moonlight poured in like water, gilding the room with a hazy silver veil.
Qiu Bai reached out and pressed the switch. With a "click," warm yellow light instantly filled the entire room, dispelling the gloom brought by the twilight.
Then, he gently held the doorknob, and with a soft "creak," the door slowly closed, shutting out the noise from the outside world and leaving only a quiet and peaceful room.
"call……"
He looked up at the ceiling, a long sigh escaping his throat, his voice carrying a mix of weariness and relief.
I casually kicked my star-studded canvas shoes at the foot of the bed, and then, as if all my strength had been drained, I plopped down into the fluffy bedding.
The familiar scent of lavender lingered around his nose, and the down mattress gently supported his stiff back.
Unconsciously, fingertips caressed the soft, washed cotton sheets.
He buried his face in the sunken pillow and muttered, "My own bed is still the most comfortable."
The moonlight outside the window quietly crept up his relaxed brow, blending the unspoken longing into the silence of the night.
drip~
The cell phone suddenly rang.
[Sunday, April 04, 1719:26]
[Sister Liuhua: A sports student needs X-coach tomorrow, are you free, Xiao Qiu?]
Qiu Bai looked at the news, a smile spreading across his face.
"A sports student... looks like another member of the original Saint Hua team."
He muttered to himself.
Clearly, Qiu Bai already knew who this person was; he still remembered the main characters of Sheng Hua.
[Qiu Bai: Are you free? What time tomorrow?]
[Rokka-nee: Let's go home after school this afternoon~ Whether you want to open a hotel at school or outside is fine, but we mainly hope that Aki-chan will listen to the students' opinions.]
[Rokka: After all, you know that most of these students are nobles, and the people above them are just as difficult to deal with as your Shiranui sister~]
Qiu Bai smoothed the strands of hair at his temples and looked at the message sent by Huang Liuhua. He could understand why.
He understood that he still had to keep these young ladies in line, otherwise the people behind them would cause him trouble.
Qiu Bai: I know, I won't cause you any trouble.
Not only will he avoid causing trouble, but he will also have to bring all these noblewomen under his control.
[Sister Liuhua: Little Qiu, you're really confident! I was going to book you for tomorrow too, but I moved you to the back of the queue.]
[Rokka-nee: Kisaragi-to, you should have added her phone number, right?]
Qiu Bai naturally understood who Huang Liuhua was referring to; this was the first prey after entering Shenghua.
[Qiu Bai: Added! This is an important "client," how could I not add them?]
[Rokka-nee: Oh my~ Little Aki is so quick to understand! Little Aki, let me know when you're free, I want to invite you out too~]
Qiu Bai: Next time for sure.
Now that Huang Liuhua has also formed a contract, there's no need to worry about her doing anything detrimental to us. On the contrary, we can use her to do things that are beneficial to us.
Just then, Qiu Bai turned off his phone screen.
[Ding! Event triggered at a distance of 120 meters from the host!]
[Mission Location: Akizuki's House.]
[Mission Objective: Prevent Marina from going on a date with Masato Ohno.]
[Task time limit: 30 minutes.]
[Quest Reward: Magic Power +1000]
“Oh? Marina…”
Qiu Bai muttered to himself, a smile playing on his lips. He raised his hand and touched his earlobe. "I almost forgot. But this task system seems to release tasks suddenly every time, yet it always hits the mark."
"Otherwise, many girls would have already lost their virginity to others..."
[Of course, this system has already marked all "special roles" within a ten-kilometer radius. If these roles have a need, the system will naturally issue a task.]
[On the one hand, it's to prevent "special roles" from being taken by others; on the other hand, it's to create opportunities for the host and protect these "special roles."]
"Only ten kilometers..."
Qiu Bai hesitated for a moment, finding the system's explanation quite interesting, since he himself wanted to protect them.
He couldn't be more eager than to bring all these characters from both the real and the real worlds under his command.
But now that I think about it carefully, it's only ten kilometers...
What about ten kilometers away?
Are there also these "special roles"?
Of course, this planet is a world formed by the fusion of "special characters" from various worlds. Although it is extremely unstable, every country contains "special characters" familiar to the host.
The system's statement clearly indicated that it agreed with Qiu Bai's idea.
"Hmm...System, what about the other world?"
[Information about the other world will be made available once you arrive. Please explore on your own for now.]
Qiu Bai clicked his tongue. This damn system really doesn't reveal things easily.
However, he also learned quite a bit about the other world, such as the existence of various races and magic.
This gives us a general idea that it's a Western-style fantasy world.
However, the characters in it are probably still familiar to him, and Qiu Bai can basically confirm this as well.
"Relying solely on the system isn't enough," Qiu Bai slowly stood up, sighing, and twisted his arm. "I still have to do the tasks myself and continue exploring."
As he sighed, he looked at his palm and a smile curved his lips.
shhh-
In the blink of an eye, Qiu Bai disappeared from the spot.
……
In Qiuyue's bedroom, the halo of the incandescent bulb flowed into a gentle arc on the frosted glass.
Marina stood in front of the full-length mirror wrapped in a fluffy white bath towel. Water droplets dripping from the ends of her brown hair slid down her swan-like neck and into the edge of the towel, reflecting tiny dappled patterns of light in the mirror.
She took off the bath towel and looked at herself in the mirror—
Her skin was very fair and tender because of the good care she received, and her large breasts were a direct inheritance from her mother, making her almost as big as her younger sister, Ellie.
Except for her hair, her skin was very smooth and fair, and even upon close inspection, no hair could be seen on her skin.
She's fair where she should be, and pink where she should be; there's practically nothing to criticize about her.
She has a slender waist and some abs, which shows that in addition to her good academic performance, she also takes her figure seriously.
Her arms are as thin as those of an average girl, and she can hold them together with just her thumb and little finger.
Her thighs were also very well-proportioned, and looking at her hips, you could tell she would be a good mother in the future.
Marina picked up the hairdryer next to her and began to blow-dry her hair.
But on the eve of her date with Masato Ohno, for some reason, another boy popped into her mind.
Her delicate lips parted slightly, and she unconsciously uttered the person's name: "Kuze...Akihiro..."
Chapter 147 Together
"Hmm... really, why did I think of Brother Qiu Bai?"
Marina unconsciously rubbed her burning ear tips with her fingertips, her head feeling heavy and drooping as if tangled in a mess.
She looked down at her flushed cheeks in the mirror, her eyelashes casting delicate shadows beneath her eyes.
The hairdryer had long since stopped blowing hot air, but my heart was still pounding uncontrollably.
A bitter taste rose in my throat, and guilt washed over my heart like a rising tide.
Qiu Bai's face appeared in her mind: his back, his smile, and his unintentional movements.
"why?"
She murmured to herself, her voice so soft it seemed to dissipate into the air.
The girl in the mirror gripped the comb tightly, her knuckles turning white, and the cicadas chirping outside the window suddenly became shrill.
"call--"
Marina looked up at the ceiling, forcing herself to exhale a breath of stale air, trying to blow away those chaotic thoughts.
She closed her eyes, her eyelashes casting fine shadows on her eyelids. When she opened them again, her gaze fell once more on the hair ornaments on the dressing table. "I don't want to think about it anymore."
But the sound of my heartbeat still echoed in my ears, like a chaotic melody.
Meanwhile, Marina continued drying her hair, then looked at the clothes she had taken out of the bed, pondering which outfit would be best to wear.
She tried her best to stop thinking about Qiu Bai and focus on the upcoming date.
Marina is a conservative girl who has never even held hands with Masato Ohno, let alone gone on a date.
"I can't think about him anymore..."
Marina clenched the hem of her shirt with her fingertips, her fingertips grinding over the unironed creases on the knitwear, as if trying to knead a shadow out of the fabric fibers.
She stared at the neatly folded light brown plaid skirt and off-white shirt on the bed, then suddenly grabbed the most conservative outfit—
The pearl button on the collar had to be fastened up to the second one, and the cuffs had to cover three fingers above the wrist; this was the safe distance she set for their first date.
