Dubian Che's hot breath made her both shy and itchy.

"They did it on purpose, giving us some alone time," Dubian Che's body edged forward again.

Their clothes were already touching.

"Dubian," Xiaoquan Aonai said anxiously, "we had an agreement, didn't we? You get first place once, and I'll give you one hug. Once you're back from camping, the May exam results will be out."

"I'm taking an advance, since I'm going to be first anyway," Dubian Che teased, his mouth hovering near her ear, pretending to bite.

"That's not fair!" Xiaoquan Aonai blocked him, keeping her already blushing ears away from his lips.

"Can't I hug my teacher for not seeing her for three days?"

"Three days will pass quickly. We can't break our agreement, otherwise…"

"Hug me," Dubian Che interrupted her.

"Dubian!" Xiaoquan Aonai whispered.

"If you won't hug me, then you hug me—if you still refuse, I'll break our agreement and force a hug."

"....." Xiaoquan Aonai's face turned crimson, her eyes welling with tears, biting her lower lip.

"Hmm?" Dubian Che let out an urging hum.

She took a deep breath, slowly extended her arms, and placed them on Dubian Che's waist.

"Hug," Dubian Che prompted.

Xiaoquan Aonai closed her eyes, her hands slowly moving forward as if measuring Dubian Che's waist.

Forcing herself to act, her hands felt like they were reaching into an unknown box.

By the time her hands slowly wrapped around Dubian Che's back.

"Teacher," Dubian Che's breath fanned her bare neck.

Xiaoquan Aonai murmured a low "Hmm."

"I like you."

"I like you too."

"Can I hug you?"

"Just... this once." Xiaoquan Aonai's burning face buried itself in Dubian Che's chest.

Given permission, Dubian Che wrapped his arms around her shoulders, holding her tight.

The sunset at the end of the corridor, too shy to stay, gradually disappeared.

Only when the corridor lights suddenly came on did Xiaoquan Aonai jolt awake and hastily pulled apart.

"I'm going back."

"Okay."

She arranged her hair, fleeing back to room 501.

She'd crossed the threshold and taken only a few steps when she broke into a run, hurling herself onto the sofa.

Burying her face silently into the cushion, she savored the warmth of Dubian Che.

She liked the feeling of being wholly embraced by Dubian Che, loved his casually firm demeanor, loved everything about him.

Remembering that before they parted, he wanted to kiss her neck, to leave a mark, and she had refused with her last bit of reason, the hot words he whispered in her ear echoed:

"Teacher, in two years, I want to kiss every part of your body, and you have to kiss all of me."

Pictures of Dubian Che's slim and taut young waist filled Xiaoquan Aonai's mind.

'How can Dubian be so sexy!'

Her cheeks flushed, she buried her face deeply into the cushion.

'Kiss every part... Mmm—!'

She hugged the cushion tight, legs kicking violently in the air.

After washing the dishes, Akiko and Miyazaki Miyuki came out of the kitchen, finding her in such a state on the sofa.

Akiko took out her phone and opened the camera for the second time, capturing the scene from the same angle.

◇

Dubian Che went up to the sixth floor to find Mayi Asuka, planning to spend the night in her room.

Having just been hugging and cuddling with Xiaoquan Aonai and now immediately lying in bed with Mayi Asuka, he felt it seemed unfair to both.

Among the three, Dubian Che liked Jiutiao Meijie the most, but whether it was Mayi the senior or Mr. Xiaoquan, since they were together, he would give equal love.

If leaving Tokyo tomorrow meant comforting Xiaoquan Aonai and not seeing Mayi Asuka out of guilt, it would have been better not to get together in the first place.

Since they decided to be together for life, they were family, so there was no need for thoughts like 'I just was with someone, so I can't immediately be with someone else.'

Dubian Che looked forward to a future where they could sit and chat together.

Using his door card, he opened the door to room 602, where Mayi Asuka was practicing the oboe in the music room.

Seeing Dubian Che, her clear eyes sparkled with joy.

Dubian Che smiled and looked at the music score, thinking of giving her some guidance on the oboe for a while.

The next moment, with a burst of fragrance, Mayi Asuka wrapped her arms around him from behind.

"Che... Che..."

"Senior Sister, wait!"

Mayi Asuka greedily bit Dubian Che's earlobe, her hands caressing his abdomen, beginning to undo the belt of his school uniform pants.

Dubian Che turned around, just about to embrace her, when Mayi Asuka already offered her thin and soft lips.

In the midst of their intense kiss, Dubian Che said, "Let's go to the bedroom."

"Right here, right now."

The next morning, after Dubian Che finished his morning run and shower, Mayi Asuka was in the kitchen making breakfast.

She wore a pink, loose-fitting sweater that reached her thighs, revealing her delicate collarbones and slender, rounded legs.

Dubian Che approached her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder, pressing his body against her beautifully curved back.

"Up this early?" he asked.

"Making breakfast for Che." Mayi Asuka flipped the bacon in the pan.

"It smells good."

"Che."

"Hmm?"

Dubian Che pulled the sweater down from both her shoulders, turning the V-neck into a boat neck, exposing her smooth, snowy shoulders.

When his lips landed on her shoulder, Mayi Asuka's body lurched forward slightly as if struck.

It wasn't until noon that Dubian Che, with a bag full of luggage, left the apartment.

The meeting point was set at the Kiyono family residence.

When he arrived, nobody else was there yet, and Mrs. Kiyono was talking to a group of maids about something.

The palatial architecture on Tokyo Bay did not change with the seasons, and the maids were neatly dressed, their collars tightly closed.

"Mr. Dubian has arrived? Come, help me take a look," Mrs. Kiyono said with a smile, beckoning him.

Dubian Che walked over.

Mrs. Kiyono waved at a maid holding a box: "Help Mom choose a set."

Inside the box, exquisite dishware was arranged, made of materials like porcelain, glass, and more.

The artistic styles were distinct, and just by looking, one could tell they came from different countries – from the Island Country's Capital City, France, the Czech Republic, China, and so on.

A life of opulence and splendor.

Dubian Che was now a part of it.

"Every season, the house changes a set of dishware," Mrs. Kiyono explained in a clear voice, "these are for summer."

"I see," Dubian Che nodded.

In the dishware, he saw patterns of lotus flowers, cicadas, and the like.

"You help Mom choose one."

"This one?" After looking, Dubian Che pointed to one made of glass, "It's transparent, looks very cool, just like you."

"Indeed, it is pleasing to the eye, but the pattern is not exactly to my taste," Mrs. Kiyono mused.

"You better choose yourself, I don't understand these things," he said with a smile.

Mrs. Kiyono laughed again, "Whatever my son says to use, that's what Mom will use this summer."

She nodded to the maids, who closed the box and left the living room, bowing.

"They haven't arrived yet, let's sit down and drink some tea for a while."

"Alright."

The two sat in front of a huge French window, half-opened, allowing the scent of the garden's flowers to enter as the curtains fluttered in the wind.

Under the midday sun, Tokyo Bay was glittering, with a cruise ship moving from left to right.

"Really looking forward to the upcoming journey," Mrs. Kiyono said with a smile as she sipped her tea.

"Me too," Dubian Che nodded.

Seeing Mrs. Kiyono in front of him, dressed in jeans and a light short-sleeved shirt, ready to leave at any moment, Dubian Che remembered the previous temporary event.
