Even though it was a "hmmph," it wasn't arrogant or disdainful; instead, it seemed quite cheerful.
"Thank you," said Hanaoka Asako, who slept in the lower bunk beneath Yuzao Haomei.
"We're classmates, and you're girls, too, so no need to be polite," Dubian Che said, "I'm leaving first today. You all get some good rest."
"Mm."
"I'll walk you out," Mayi Asuka said.
"I'm coming too!" Ichiki Aoi sat up.
"Ichiki, you've been tired all day, just take a good rest," Dubian Che said.
"...Okay." Ichiki Aoi lay back down on the bed.
Mayi Asuka left the room first, with Dubian Che closing the door behind her.
As soon as he had closed the door, Mayi Asuka's soft hands were pressing on his chest, pushing him back against the door that had just been closed, her thin lips surging towards his.
If Dubian Che hadn't controlled his body, the impact could have made a sound.
He leaned gently against the door.
Dubian Che's left hand was placed where her skirt met her dress, embracing her slender waist;
Mayi Asuka wrapped her arms around his neck, closed her eyes, and threw herself into the kiss.
Dubian Che hugged her even tighter.
At one moment, he released Mayi Asuka's lips and whispered next to her soft ear, out of breath:
"Senpai, I like you."
Mayi Asuka didn't say anything, her lips chased after Dubian Che's, not wanting to give him a chance to speak.
After catching Dubian Che's lips, she pressed her body against him firmly; they kissed for who knows how long until she let go of the grip around his neck, intending to do some other wonderful thing.
This was a hotel corridor, Dubian Che was about to stop her when, by mistake, the knuckles on the back of Mayi Asuka's hand bumped into the wooden door.
"Thump!"
"Did the door make a sound?" Hanaoka Asako's voice.
"I didn't hear anything," could tell from her voice that Yuzao Haomei was engrossed in her phone.
"Has senpai come back?" The sound of Ichiki Aoi coming down the ladder.
Dubian Che, holding on to Mayi Asuka who was still 'planning to undo his pants,' quickly ran towards the hotel's exit with her.
Once outside, the air instantly became fresh.
In Karuizawa, even from within a bedroom, one could faintly smell the fragrance of the grass and trees, but there was still a difference between indoor and outdoor, especially since the hotel's corridors were very narrow.
Dubian Che and Mayi Asuka walked towards the villas, holding hands and swinging them as they went.
"Why did you book a four-person room?" Dubian Che asked.
"At the Prince Hotel, I also booked one," Mayi Asuka said in the night, her usually delicate charm even more captivating.
"I'm sorry, I might not make it tomorrow; I can only accompany you on the 15th."
"Mm."
Looking at Mayi Asuka's expression, one still couldn't discern any emotion, but Dubian Che could feel she wasn't angry.
Perhaps because the two were hand in hand, walking under the sparsely lit lamps of Karuizawa, or maybe because of the intense kiss just now, she had an unseen tranquility about her.
Dubian Che felt the same way.
"It would be nice to keep walking like this for a lifetime," he sighed.
Jiutiao Meijie, Mayi Asuka, Xiaoquan Aonai — whenever he was alone with any one of them, he would occasionally have this feeling, to a greater or lesser extent.
This was the proof of their mutual love.
To have all three of them, even someone like Dubian Che who from the bottom of his heart believed he deserved to stand above everyone else, often felt lucky and satisfied.
This life would have been long enough — if he had not met Lin.
"Let's stop here," Dubian Che stopped in his tracks, "If you go any further, I'll worry about you getting back."
"Mm." Mayi Asuka looked at him in the darkness.
Dubian Che really wanted to kiss her, but once he did, it would ignite the fireworks of desire named "Mayi Asuka."
They would end up in a nearby grove, with Mayi Asuka's hands resting on one of the trees, or her back against the trunk.
"We might chance upon each other tomorrow, and even if we don't meet, we can be together on the 15th," Dubian Che didn't kiss her.
"Mm." Mayi Asuka's clear eyes, as if about to drip with water, still looked at him.
"You go first, I want to watch you."
"Che, you first."
"Senpai, you first."
"Che, you first."
"Senpai, go first, I want to watch your butt a little longer."
Mayi Asuka hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked towards the hotel that twinkled like stars in the distance.
Dubian Che watched her slender back, hoping to use his exceptional eyesight to see that she safely returned to the hotel.
When she reached the hotel entrance, Mayi Asuka didn't immediately enter but looked back towards Dubian Che.
Although Mayi Asuka couldn't see him, Dubian Che still waved his hand.
Despite not being able to see, Mayi Asuka waved her hand as well.
It seemed like she sensed that Dubian Che was still watching her in the night.
