"Ah? Eh?"

Rephya's eyes began spinning in circles.

"Is, is that so?"

Xiaolu's face was a bit flushed.

So it wasn't just one-sided on her part?

Just the thought of it made her unable to stop smiling.

"Rephya, are you crying?"

"I'm not crying!"

"Hey, don't drop those pearls, it looks like..."

"Looks like?"

"Looks like it makes me want to tease you even more."

"It's just, it's just because you keep teasing me that I'm crying."

"Hmm, so for now, I won't tease you, don't cry."

Rephya glanced back at Chloe.

"..."

Seeing Chloe a bit embarrassed, she suddenly thought to herself:

[The junior's shy and annoyed look is also adorable]

So she tried to sidle up closer.

"Rephya, what are you doing?"

Rephya said nothing, just kept touching and feeling around.

"..."

"What's going on? Junior, your face is so red."

"..."

"Sniff sniff~"

"Rephya, did you turn from a deer into a puppy?"

"Fun!"

"You, blushing is normal, right? Don't act so surprised."

"So, why are you blushing? Tell me, junior, come on!"

"You really are... it's because of you that I'm so flustered."

"Flustered? Why would you be flustered?"

"I won't tell you."

"Have you been trying hard to pretend not to care about me all this time?" Rephya smiled brightly, "Have you been enduring it?"

She happily nuzzled against Chloe's chest.

They could clearly feel each other's warmth.

"Junior, has anyone ever told you that you're adorable?"

"Weren't you just dropping pearls, and now you're suddenly so happy?"

"Because the face of a certain dummy who's been enduring all this time is really amusing!"

Rephya's crisp laughter echoed on and on.

Chloe's hesitant gaze made him feel a bit embarrassed, damn it, this time he was completely handled by Xiaolu.

"You still have the nerve to talk, when you clearly care a lot too, your face was all red from crying earlier."

Rephya gently pinched Chloe's cheek, snorted lightly, and said:

"Wasn't it because you made me angry? During History's Echo, when you found me, I was super happy, but after that, you didn't talk to me for so long."

Chloe coughed.

On this point, he didn't know what to say.

After all...

Thinking of approaching Rephya, and Sister Fufu's subtle expression, he felt a bit guilty.

—And so, the shameless scoundrel chose to settle the big wife first.

"It's not like I didn't find an opportunity."

"Hmph, that's why I wasn't crying, it was just sand in my eyes."

"Well, I wasn't blushing either, just that it's really hot today."

"So can I ask for a kiss?"

Chloe snorted a laugh.

Rephya, oh Rephya, what should I say to you?

"You change topics way too fast."

And the next moment, Rephya kissed Chloe on the lips.

"Hey, wait, Rephya..."

Muah~

"No waiting!"

Xiaolu hugged Chloe's neck and, in awkward movements, tasted the flavor of a lover's lips.

"So what are you doing?"

"I was thinking..." Rephya showed a sly smile, "Do you know these small rooms often have rumors of lovers doing other things?"

"...I know."

To be precise, not only does he know, these things often become topics of chat in school dorms for boys and girls.

For instance, "XX girl rejected XX boy's confession and expressed that if XX boy is willing to accept her boyfriend, he can choose to join."

It's not that the Ethereal Emblem is truly that chaotic.

This is survivor bias.

If it weren't for those rare events that shock the students, they wouldn't get any attention.

"So, Rephya, what are you trying to say?"

"Look, the couple next door must be out of their minds."

"..."

"Doing such things in a public place at school, are all couples into outdoor battles now?"

"..."

"Well, yeah, considering some people can't be stopped even on the restaurant rooftop."

"...Ahem, I'm just saying, one should control themselves."

Chloe felt a bit guilty saying this.

But Rephya's gaze drifted.

"However..." she softly parted her lips and said, "I might not be very normal right now either."

Chloe instinctively looked at Rephya's cheek, and saw those watery eyes looking at him affectionately.

"Yeah, Rephya, you're really not normal right now..."

This time, it was Chloe's turn to initiate the kiss.

Both of their breaths started growing hot.

"Levia, have I ever told you that a beautiful girl like you seducing boys is practically a crime?"

Rephya showed a faint smile, lying on the sofa and said:

"Even the junior thinks I'm beautiful?"

"You really are infuriating."

"Hahaha, what's up with that!"

"I'm asking you, Rephya, is it really okay in a place like this?"

"Why, junior, are you thinking of running away again?"

The next moment, Chloe's fiery kiss settled on Rephya's collarbone.

"Hey, don't bite me, haha~"

Unknowingly, the girl's clothes loosened, and her neck tilted back slightly.

"I'll eat you up."

"I don't mind, senior." Rephya said with an innocent yet somewhat bewildered voice, "The meat is already at your lips, don't run away."

"I'm worried about you, alright? You're really..."

"Hahaha~"

Chloe was holding Rephya by the waist, their scattered clothes rolled up, forming a makeshift curtain.

In the next moment, Rephya only felt the scene in front of her shift.

She found herself falling onto the soft bedsheets.

"Eh?"

"You're in the room at Amber Hall." Chloe's movements began to grow bolder, "At least, in the place I picked for you."

His hand slowly lifted the hem of her dress along the snowy skin.

Gradually, Rephya's body began to tremble.

"Ch-Chloe, I'm having a bit of trouble breathing."

"Rephya, you're particularly good at acting cute today."

Looking at the girl on the bed whose eyes were like turbulent seas, Chloe's heart started to beat faster.

He was really on the verge of being driven insane by Rephya.

"Xiaolu, don't be too upset, if you're feeling uncomfortable, you have to tell me."

"Mm, it's okay."

The girl's adorable cheeks made Chloe lose his rationality at that moment.

...

A long while later.

Chloe finally seemed to realize his actions had been a little wild.

Rephya curled up like a wounded little animal.

Seeing Chloe's gentle gaze, Rephya dizzily said:

"Wh-What's wrong?"

"Are you okay?"

Xiaolu showed a cute smile and said:

"You can bully me a little more."

"..."

Looking at the discomfort and fatigue in Rephya's eyes, Chloe said helplessly:

"Re-Rephya, you're not really scared, are you?"

"Actually, I'm a little scared, just saying." The Rephya below quietly turned her head but shot another glance at Chloe, saying, "Besides, you always cherish me, don't you?"

"But your voice is a bit hoarse, are you confident you can take care of your throat?"

"Not really."

"Then I can only use Recovery to help you."

"At times like these, let's not worry about such things...ah?!"

Rephya's body suddenly went rigid.

She suddenly heard the chirping of birds outside the window.

The chirping persisted, sounding like...it was hurt?

What happened?

Was the bird bullied?

She didn't know.

She lifted her head to look out the window and saw a cute bird, dizzy, standing on a branch.

It seemed like it wanted to squat down slowly, but its legs were weak, and the squatting speed was very slow.

Suddenly, a fallen autumn leaf landed on it, as if a pair of hands were pressing down on it.

In a panic, it plopped its butt down on the branch and then stopped moving.

Chloe pointed at the silly bird and said:

"Its cry sounds so pitiful, it's hard to imagine it coming from its mouth."

"Don't you like listening to the bird's chirping?"

"Not really, actually...I find its voice quite cute."

":" Hehe, then why don't you pick it up and stop it from getting hurt."

...

Afterwards.

Rephya buried her head in a towel, not speaking for a long time.

"What are you...doing?"

"..."

The scene fell into an indescribable silence and awkwardness.

A long while later.

Rephya finally said speechlessly:

"Senior, don't talk to me right now, I'm so embarrassed I want to die."

What's wrong with me always ending up like this when I'm with my senior?

Rephya, you're really a hopeless pervert.

No.

My mind is such a mess, I can't think at all.

Damn, damn, damn.

Why did I let my senior (*) go in like that?

What if by accident...then what should I do?

"Sigh~"

Seeing Rephya sigh, Chloe reached out to take her towel off her.

However, Rephya tried to stop him.

She whispered:

"Sorry, senior, I accidentally went a bit overboard."

"Overboard? Are you referring to secretly luring me in, Xiaolu?"

"No, I mean...I, I...?!

Rephya's voice faltered for a long time without saying anything.

After regaining her composure, she thought of Sister Fufu again.

But mentioning Fufu at a time like this felt so inappropriate.

The guilt grew stronger.

What a jerk.

Couldn't even control her body!

Even sneaking around taking Sister Fufu's things!

Ah, she couldn't make sense of it herself.

"#￥..."

"What did you say?"

Chloe leaned in a bit closer and then heard Xiaolu softly saying:

"From now on..."

"From now on?"

"No more awkward approaches like today, talk to me like usual, casual as if nothing happened."

"Huh? So you're saying why am I able to be so composed..."

Rephya frantically covered Chloe's mouth, saying:

"Let's just leave it like this for now, unless I say otherwise, pretend nothing happened."

"Xiaolu, you're really bad-tempered."

"Waaah, I know I'm a bad girl!"
