Chapter 231

"Miss Wangzhong?!"

"Huh?! Wait!!" Koto Satsuki pulled up the troublesome woman, her voice trembling with shock. "What are you thinking?! The other person was clearly joking, wasn't they?!"

"No, I'm not joking, I'm serious," Sakurakoji Talent retorted inwardly, glancing sideways at her.

"And even if it were true, would you really do it like that? Ouka Mai's pride?!"

"Hey~ Just treat that kind of thing as a harmless little joke between lovers!" Ouka Mai was being squeezed tightly by her shoulders and swayed violently back and forth, but her face was so cheerful that you couldn't tell that she had been asked an unreasonable request.

It even seemed quite pleased, as a tail appeared to be constantly wagging behind it, and a pair of beast ears grew on its head.

Tsk, Sakurakoji Talent's brows furrowed slightly. So, she was treating this insulting behavior as part of a romantic game?

What a terrifying woman!

This left him with no way to punish or retaliate!

Wait! His eyes widened in surprise.

Considering her somewhat self-destructive personality traits—you wouldn't actually be a masochist, would you?!

On the surface, she's a flawless, universally admired supermodel, but behind the scenes, she's actually a completely different person... Pfft!!!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose, feeling a surge of heat rush to his brain, as if he was about to have a nosebleed.

No, this woman is just too much of a stimulant for my S Bloodline. Could it be that we're even so compatible in this area?

What an interesting woman.

He couldn't help but start fantasizing about the future, imagining her wearing a collar, dressed in a dog costume, and walking around the room on a leash!

A tail is also essential, so let's use the traditional installation method; that seems more interesting... He closed his eyes, his body trembled slightly, and a sinister single sound escaped his throat.

"..." Aoyama Nanami watched his retreating figure with a worried expression. What had happened in just two short days?

"So, what's the purpose of your visit here today?" Sakurakoji Talent asked, casting aside his delusions and taking a sip of the tea that Aoyama Nanami had poured for him. "I heard from Nanami yesterday that you seemed to have come looking for me."

"Ah, it's nothing much, I just wanted to come see you!" Ouka Mai replied, shaking off Koto Satsuki's hand.

"Really? Now that you've finished reading, you can go back, go back, go back~" He waved his hand, signaling her to leave.

"Hey~ don't say that~ let me sit a little longer!"

"Ha~ Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm very busy. I don't have time to see you every day, didn't I tell you that before?"

"I see. I'm sorry, I was too willful." Ouka Mai apologized softly, then looked at him and said, "Well, let me tell you about the second thing."

"Please speak."

"Are they here?" He perked up.

Did he really expect the seed he planted during his conversation with her last Saturday to bear fruit so quickly?

Ouka Mai pushed her best friend forward and said excitedly, "Talent, you mentioned last time that you need a lot of manpower here, right? What do you think of Satsuki!"

"Ha?!"

Koto Satsuki cried out in shock, staring at her in astonishment. "What do you mean? You didn't tell me anything!!"

"Didn't we just say that?" Ouka Mai tilted her head.

"What's the point of saying that now, you idiot!"

"I heard the hourly wage here is quite high? And even students can work here in their spare time. Don't Satsuki really want to?"

Ouka Mai towards Aoyama Nanami's direction with her lip. "That young lady over there is also a high school student, just like us."

"Even so, you should at least have given me a heads-up! Do you think I'd give in to you so easily... By the way, what's the hourly wage?" Her cool, calm voice held a hint of hesitation.

Let me explain. Although Koto Satsuki is a beautiful girl with a cool and aloof appearance, and she and Ouka Mai are childhood friends and have similar temperaments, their family backgrounds are actually worlds apart.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that her family is very poor, so she usually works part-time jobs to ease the burden on her single mother.

"Well, how much was it again?" Ouka Mai asked Sakurakoji Talent with her eyes.

"So you didn't know?!" Koto Satsuki clenched her fists, wanting to Bang Dream her a few times.

Sakurakoji Talent took a sip of tea, a hint of Kokoro hidden in his slightly narrowed eyes, and said with a slight smile, "Passed. As for work hours, we'll see how Satsuki does. Starting tonight is fine."

"I haven't agreed to stay here yet..." Koto Satsuki weakly objected.

"The hourly wage starts at this amount, and it will increase based on performance. How about that?" He held up two jade-like fingers.

"Ugh!" Koto Satsuki's eyes widened after she saw it clearly, and her delicate body trembled.

This figure is twice the legal minimum hourly wage and far higher than the hourly wage at my current part-time job.

If she could work 5 hours a day, she could earn the salary of a normal full-time retail service worker. Even if that wasn't possible, it would still make her family much more financially secure.

"Working here will also come with some hidden perks, and the bonuses and allowances will be quite substantial. You can look forward to it!"

Taking Aoyama Nanami as an example, if we include benefits such as housing and meals, her current salary is comparable to that of full-time employees in IT and finance, and even surpasses them because she works long hours and doesn't take many days off.

"Mmm," Koto Satsuki said, her desire aroused by his words, her mouth dry, "I understand, then please guide me."

"That's great!" Ouka Mai laughed heartlessly.

"I'll settle the score with you later!" Koto Satsuki stared coldly at her, her beautiful eyes devoid of warmth.

After making her lower her head and tremble, Koto Satsuki stood up and asked Sakurakoji Talent, "If it's possible, I'd like to start work today. What do I need to do?"

"Okay, Nanami, please. Just make it like Megumi did back then."

"I understand." Aoyama Nanami nodded and bowed, her lovely face showing a mixture of helplessness and complexity as she looked at Koto Satsuki: "Please come with me, Miss Satsuki."

Please.

After the two left, Sakurakoji Talent stopped Ouka Mai.

"This is your punishment; you are not allowed to have close contact with me for the time being."

"Are you trying to make me think you're angry, so you can trick me into saying 'I love you' and comforting you?" Ouka Mai tilted her head, puzzled.

"No! Your thought process is really weird! What I mean is, I don't want to do anything intimate with you lately!"

"Waaaaah~ That's so mean~~~" Ouka Mai cried out, her face full of sorrow.

"Hmph~ The more you act like this, the happier I am~" He curled the corners of his mouth, enjoying her expression.

"Could it be... Talent you're a sadist, Caihua?" Ouka Mai guessed in shock.

"That's it? You regret it?"

"Hmm... it's a bit of a hassle, but because I like you, I'll accept everything about you!" She tossed a strand of her golden hair aside, her expression haughty.

So don't worry, I will always love you!

"--You actually wanted to hear me say that, didn't you? Haha, how cute!"

Sakurakoji Talent's eyes lost their luster, his expression became numb, and he stared blankly at her.

What should he do to strike a blow against this self-righteous woman?

"However," Ouka Mai pointed to her lips, looking at him pitifully, "I'll die of loneliness if I can't touch you for a long time. Can't you relax the conditions a little?"

"For example, allowing hugs and kisses."

Chapter 285 I'm of mixed race, and I only know French style

"Your standards for relaxation are also strange. If this is considered mild, what exactly do you want to do to me?" Sakurakoji Talent looked at her like she was a female hooligan, a bunch of thoughts racing through his mind.

"There are many things, like holding hands, patting heads, showering together, combing my hair, making love in bed together, licking each other's..."

"OK! That's enough! It'll be bad if we keep going!" He felt a little shy because she had stated her desire for him so bluntly.

"So it turns out you were only interested in my body after all."

"It's hard to deny, after all, whether from an objective or subjective perspective, it's perfectly normal for me to fall for your body." Ouka Mai a strand of hair between her fingers, her gaze tender and affectionate.

"But putting aside your external factors, I think it's not strange for me to want to touch my lover more, is it?"

"Needless to say, my heart also longs to be intimately connected with yours. To me, that's what lovers are—does this idea surprise you?"

"If it's you, I'm ready for more than just kissing; I'm prepared for anything beyond that."

"..." After saying all that, you still haven't hidden your true nature as a female hooligan, his gaze remained disdainful.

With a sigh, he raised his hand and said, "First, I need to correct something: we are not lovers yet. And from my current perspective, I won't agree to this kind of relationship anytime soon."

"You really are stubborn," Ouka Mai said with a look that said, "You're really difficult to deal with."

"If you find that difficult, you can change your target, like just being friends with me or something, and I'll gladly agree."

"Hmph, that's impossible!" A fiercer fighting spirit ignited in her eyes. "On the contrary, I like you even more now!"

"Are you out of your mind? Why?"

"I really like your attitude of not caring about me and speaking your mind to me!" She laughed heartily.

"Because I've almost never encountered anything beyond my control growing up, the existence of someone as uncontrollable as you makes me truly happy!"

"..." Sakurakoji Talent's face was gloomy.

My God, having lived two lives, he now finally understands what the saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" truly means.

Rather, the person in front of me is even above that...

Across from her, Ouka Mai fidgeted nervously, her eyes darting around, restless, her red lips moving slightly as she spoke:

"If you really resist, I'll try my best to control my urge to kiss you in the future. But, would you allow me to hold your hand and hug you?"

"Please! If I can't touch your skin and smell your scent for a long time, I'll die!"

She raised her arms in front of her, closed her eyes, and solemnly declared.

"..." Sniffing the scent? Are you really a dog?

Ha~ What should he do?

Ouka Mai waited anxiously for his answer, as if she would rush up and hug him immediately if he nodded.

"I see."

Her features instantly melted into the color of a sunflower, her slender, shapely legs encased in Black Stockings poised to strike.

"Wait! Before that, I have a condition!" He quickly stopped her from doing what she was about to do.

"Condition?"

Sakurakoji Talent sighed countless times in his heart, his eyes slightly narrowed. "Like I said before, I'm very busy, really busy!"

"So I can't meet with you every day like today. In the future, we might not see each other even once every few days. If you can accept that, I'll agree to your request."

"It seems that matter is really important." Even she, who is usually optimistic, confident, cheerful, and outgoing, is now incredibly disappointed.

"Yes, it's very important." He nodded seriously.

When it comes to matters of life and death, how could it not be important?

A brief silence lingered between the two, and after a while...

"I understand. If that's the case, I'll do it." Ouka Mai smiled again, a hint of vulnerability in her eyes. "But can I text you, call you, or video chat with you?"

"The message is available anytime, but as for the other two, I hope we can wait until I have time."

"Good!"

She readily agreed, her smile gradually turning malicious, "Then, is it alright now?"

"Yes! Wow!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was rushed up and hugged Ouka Mai. He heard unpleasant panting sounds in his ears, and his hair, face, and body were constantly being rubbed against her.

"Pfft, you didn't need to hit it so hard..."

"Sorry! Did I hurt you?"

Seeing her concerned and guilty expression as she anxiously examined him with her Hands on his body, Sakurakoji Talent n't bring himself to feel any ill will towards her.

"... Fine, you figure it out yourself."

"Thanks!"

She seemed to have gotten a great deal, and happily moved closer again.
