Chapter 242
He continued the conversation as if nothing had happened, asking with a smile.
"How about I bully Yili Hitori to get my revenge?"
The pink-haired girl didn't pay much attention to what she was hiding. She raised her head and said weakly but firmly.
"Hey, I... Falcon doesn't have to bully me like this..."
The fact that he could be bullied at will excited Ishikawa Hayato a little, but he still spoke calmly and seriously.
"This time is different."
His tone made Hitori a little nervous, but he didn't do anything immediately after he finished speaking. Instead, he spoke to Ryo, who had finished packing up and walked away a couple of steps.
"It's cold, wait a minute."
Liang stopped in his tracks, looking at them with a strange expression.
Then Ishikawa Hayato turned to the puzzled Hitori, forcefully embraced her, and, to her surprise, lowered his head and kissed her deeply.
It wasn't a kiss on the cheek or a light kiss, but a stimulating, wet kiss.
Hitori had kissed Ishikawa Hayato many times before, so she should have been quite adept at how to reciprocate. But this time, she froze completely because...
Liang was watching from the side.
She didn't quite understand why Ishikawa Hayato was doing this; it was too bold. But even so, after a moment of stunned silence, she began to cooperate with Ishikawa Hayato, and the two of them kissed passionately, choking back sobs.
After a while, Ishikawa Hayato released Hitori slightly out-of-breath breath and stood up.
Hitori stood up to cooperate with him, her gaze, still somewhat dazed from the passionate kiss, fixed blankly on him.
Ishikawa Hayato pursed his lips, gathered his saliva, swallowed it, and walked towards Ryo.
Ryo knew what he was going to do halfway through, and stood there helplessly. Then he hugged her and pressed her against the wall, just like he had done with Hitori earlier, and they kissed passionately in front of Hitori.
Hitori stared blankly at them, but surprisingly, she didn't feel jealous at all. After all, she had already prepared herself for this. In fact, seeing them kissing as if no one else was around made her feel at ease.
She no longer needs to worry about being in the way or anything.
But she couldn't help but blush as she observed Ryo's kiss and the difference between her kiss and that of Ishikawa Hayato.
After watching for a while, she only noticed one difference: when Ishikawa Hayato kissed Ryo, he lifted Ryo's leg to touch it, but when he kissed her, his hands were basically on her chest and buttocks...
She was starting to wonder which one Ishikawa Hayato actually preferred.
A few minutes later, Ryo gave Ishikawa Hayato a helpless push, and he finally relented.
Even the usually shameless older sister, after a quick glance Hitori Ishikawa Hayato's reaction, wiped her mouth to hide her embarrassment and said...
"This night raid, didn't it just become an indirect kiss between me and Bocchi?"
Ishikawa Hayato pursed his lips, seemingly still wanting more. This action was also a bit stimulating for him. He looked back for Hitori before speaking.
"The problem lies with me, right? Besides, I've already refreshed the page."
"Hmph..." Liang chuckled noncommittally.
She understood that Ishikawa Hayato wanted to use this method to prevent them from seeing each other as a third wheel and to help them get used to each other's presence.
This man has always been frighteningly bold.
Liang looked at Hitori again, and seeing her stunned expression gradually revealing understanding, he sighed inwardly.
Ishikawa Hayato greeted Hitori happily again.
"Hitori Hitori, let's give each other a goodnight hug."
Hitori walked over quickly without any hesitation, and her hurried little steps after hearing the greeting were also quite cute.
Ishikawa Hayato easily caught her and Ryo, who was already beside him, and hugged them both, kissing them on the cheek. Seeing how cooperative they were, he tentatively asked...
"How about... we all sleep together tonight?"
She had been letting him be, but now she raised her head and stared at him with piercing eyes. Meanwhile, Ichiri, who was leaning against Ishikawa Hayato's chest Hitori the other side, quickly lowered her head, her earlobes peeking out from her hair, which were a delicate pink.
Finally, even though Ishikawa Hayato subtly indicated to Ryo that he wouldn't do anything, Ryo ignored him and quickly slipped into his room.
She clearly didn't believe the veiled promise made by someone who had kept her feet off the ground for two days and left her legs weak for three.
After Ryo slipped away, Ishikawa Hayato looked at Hitori, who was leaning against his chest and seemed to listen to him no matter what. However, her actions also subtly revealed her thoughts.
Ishikawa Hayato felt a bit awkward. If it were just the two of them, he would consider their feelings and not do anything too reckless; at most, he would wait until Hitori fell asleep...
But if it's only Hitori, he doesn't want her to take time off for something like that.
He looked at Yili, who hesitated as if she wanted to lift her Hitori from his embrace, and seeing her worried expression, he had no choice but to speak.
"Hitori, let's sleep together tonight."
"Um."
Hitori hugged him tightly again.
The next morning, Ishikawa Hayato carefully lifted Hitori's long hair, gently pulled his hand away from under her neck, and breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at her sleeping face, which seemed very happy.
After getting out of bed and covering her with a light blanket, he went to the bathroom to wash up before his morning run.
Last night wasn't as agonizing as he'd imagined. Perhaps sensing Ishikawa Hayato's intentions, Hitori didn't do anything; she even stood by the bedside at first, too afraid to come up.
Back then...
It's time to rest.
Just to be on the safe side, Ishikawa Hayato checked the mysterious little package in his drawer to make sure there was still stock before turning over and going to bed to rest.
At this moment, he had mentally prepared himself for the consequences of being either a beast or worse than a beast.
As Ishikawa Hayato got into bed and was about to pull up the thin blanket, he noticed that Hitori was still standing motionless beside him.
He looked at Hitori; she was wearing simple pajamas, her head bowed, her hands timidly clasped in front of her. Her honest and obedient appearance was completely different from her previous proactive demeanor.
Ishikawa Hayato chuckled and patted the bed.
"Hitori, we're up!"
"Good..."
She then slowly lowered herself, turned around, and climbed onto the bed, carefully occupying the very edge of the bed.
She didn't dare to take up the blanket, lying there stiffly like a vampire.
Ishikawa Hayato, who had been wondering if he would cause any trouble tonight, couldn't help but laugh when he saw her like this.
No matter how much she changes, she's still the same Hitori.
Ishikawa Hayato reached out and grabbed her hand, pulling her towards him.
"The middle of the bed is quite big, Hitori little closer."
"Mmm... uh..."
She nodded shyly, and without Ishikawa Hayato's help, she wriggled closer to him.
She stopped when there was an arm's length between them.
"Come a little closer."
Ishikawa Hayato withdrew his hand, lay on his side on the bed, propped his head up with his arm on the pillow, and said with a smile.
She twisted twice more, bringing the two of them within a hand's width of each other. Halfway through, Hitori had already shyly closed her eyes.
"Come a little closer."
"Hmm..."
Hitori let out a shy, low moan. She clearly didn't know how far away she was from Ishikawa Hayato; she could only sense that they were already very close.
But she still listened to Ishikawa Hayato's words and twisted her body to lean closer to him.
After twisting his body twice more, Hitori suddenly felt his arm touch something.
Although she vaguely knew what was going on, she still couldn't help but open her eyes.
Her hand touched Ishikawa Hayato's chest, and before her eyes was Ishikawa Hayato's condescending, wicked smile. Hitori cried out in despair and quickly covered her eyes with her hands.
Ishikawa Hayato chuckled as he lay down, slipping his hand under the back of her neck and carefully moving closer to her without pressing on her hair.
That's the inconvenience of sleeping with a girl with long hair. Even if you hug her, you can't get very close because her hair is spread out. With medium to short hair like Liang's, you don't have to worry about that, because the spread out of her hair isn't as wide.
Hitori sensing that Ishikawa Hayato wanted to hug her, Ichiri turned to the left to face him, but hesitated and didn't dare, so she turned her back to him. However, she felt it was too cold and started turning over again.
"That's fine, this way we're closer."
Ishikawa Hayato looked at her with a mixture of amusement and helplessness.
Hitori finally calmed down, but after a while, whether from excitement or shyness, she fidgeted slightly with her body.
Although the two are often intimate, this is the first time they have shared a bed like this, so it's normal for Hitori to feel uncomfortable.
Ishikawa Hayato, who had initially harbored desires, lost them after she did this and only wanted to hold this silly girl and sleep with her.
Hitori had long since discarded those messy thoughts, leaving only the sense of peace and happiness of falling asleep with the person she loved.
Ishikawa Hayato gently pressed his forehead against the back of her head and spoke softly.
"Just sleep like this, I'm turning off the light."
"Um... Falcon... Goodnight."
After the lights were turned off, the two shared a few moments of intimacy before quickly drifting off to sleep.
In the early morning, Ishikawa Hayato reminisced about the pure and beautiful feeling of sleeping with Hitori in his arms as he leisurely went for a morning run along his usual route.
On the way, he greeted his neighbors, whom he was gradually getting to know, in a friendly yet perverse way. After buying fresh vegetables and meat, he jogged home.
When he got near his home, Ishikawa Hayato slowed down, preparing to stroll back at a leisurely pace.
But as he looked into the distance, he saw a blonde girl with a side ponytail walking slowly ahead of him. She was carrying a schoolbag and looked ready to go to school, and she was also carrying something in her hand.
Ishikawa Hayato took out his phone and checked the time. It was 6:48, which was very early for the average Japanese student.
Now that she doesn't have to get up early and take a two-hour tram ride to school, Hitori mornings, but out of habit, she still wakes up around the same time.
But today, with the thought that it would be best if Hitori could sleep a little longer so that he could do bad things, Ishikawa Hayato stealthily approached that slightly hesitant figure.
"Rainbow~~Xia!"
"Ah!"
Nijika was startled and almost dropped what she was holding, but Ishikawa Hayato was prepared and protected her, preventing her from losing her equipment.
Ishikawa Hayato wasn't surprised at all by her reaction; Nijika was the kind of person who was rather timid.
He grinned, bracing himself for a scolding.
Sure enough, after Nijika came to her senses, she glared at him angrily, and even the ahoge (cowlick) on her head seemed to straighten out.
"Hayato-kun! Don't scare people like that in the morning."
"Sorry, sorry, it's just that Nijika is so cute that I couldn't help but have the urge to attack her."
Ishikawa Hayato lowered his hand and smiled apologetically at Nijika, adding that he would even go further.
"I even managed to resist hugging Nijika right away."
"Thanks very much then." She gave a disgruntled look with her cat-like eyes.
Seeing that Nijika wasn't angry at all, Ishikawa Hayato went up and took her hand.
"Let's go to our house."
"What do you mean, 'our home'..."
She grumbled softly, but still followed in his footsteps.
183. Consequences
After a short wait, the elevator made a "ding" sound and the doors slowly opened.
Ishikawa Hayato, carrying shopping bags, stepped into the elevator first, followed by Nijika.
The elevator doors closed after a slight delay and then began to ascend.
