It's So Good~

"So this is a boy's room? How ordinary."

Hasebe scanned the room with a look of disappointment before sitting down on the clean floor.

He grabbed a bottle of milk, handed it to her, and asked, "So, what did you want to come to my room for?"

"You're so cold, Bai Ye. I went out of my way to do this to deepen our relationship, you know? I haven't had many friends since I was little, so when I finally meet someone I like, shouldn't I be proactive?"

"I see you chatting with the girls in class just fine. You don't seem like someone without friends."

"They don't count. You wouldn't understand—as long as there's no bad blood, it's easy for girls to talk to each other. But those are just superficial relationships. They aren't like real friends who speak their true feelings or sacrifice themselves for one another."

Hasebe rested her chin on her knees and spoke in a low voice.

"I developed faster than others when I was a kid, so I was often teased. It wasn't just the boys; the girls joined in too. That's why I eventually stopped interacting with them."

"It was the same when I came to this school. I didn't intend to get close to anyone, but..."

Hasebe looked up at him, a hint of resentment appearing on her fair face. "Someone just had to keep hanging around the place where I was resting for no reason. It made me suffer from insomnia at night, constantly thinking about that person. Don't you think that person should take responsibility?"

"Take responsibility for what?" He raised an eyebrow.

"For becoming my friend, of course," Hasebe laughed. "Where did your mind wander off to?"

"If you hadn't phrased it like that, I wouldn't have thought that way. You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

Hasebe admitted it readily. "I did it on purpose. I wanted to see if you'd get shy, but I didn't expect you to be so calm. Tell me, you're so smooth—did you often deceive girls when you were younger?"

"I wasn't deceiving you. I was speaking my true feelings," he replied.

He didn't like making up lies just to please girls.

In truth, he was fundamentally the same type as Horikita, only he knew which things should be said and which should not.

"Fine then, tell me now: what kind of person do you think I am?" Hasebe said. "And don't lie."

"Hmm, you're pretty, you have a great figure, you're very outgoing, you like giving your friends nicknames, you enjoy taking care of others, and you're a bit protective of your own?"

As Hasebe listened to him, her face slowly turned red. She hurriedly waved her hand to stop him. "Stop... don't you feel embarrassed? Saying things like that..."

"You were the one who asked me to say it..." He curled his lip. "See? Stop acting like a big sister from now on. You're clearly just a virgin..."

"What virgin... what nonsense are you spouting!"

"Oh, so you aren't?"

"Of course I am... never mind that! Aren't you a virgin yourself?" Hasebe glared at him.

"I am, but I'm not embarrassed about it. Why are you getting so worked up?"

"Who's worked up? I'm going to have this out with you properly today!"

Hasebe stood up, walked over to him, pressed down on his shoulders, and pushed him onto the bed.

The girl's face was right in front of his—her fresh, tender lips, her face that looked exceptionally beautiful even while angry, her eyes that held a hint of spirit, and a few strands of hair falling onto his forehead, carrying an inexplicable fragrance.

Her lips parted slightly. "Tell me, what's wrong with being a virgin?"

"I think it's great. I like it very much."

"I don't care if you like it or not. I'm asking you, is there any conflict between being a virgin and being a big sister? Does being a virgin make me unworthy of being a sister?"

"Not at all. A virgin big sister is so cute—the cutest in the world."

"..."

Hasebe spat at him, lay down beside him, and said in a listless tone, "Bai Ye, what do you think I should do in the future? Just going on like this is so boring."

"Being alone is boring. You should find some friends to hang out with."

"Who do you think I should look for?"

"For example... how about Sakura?"

"Which Sakura? Is there someone like that in our class?" Hasebe tilted her head to look at him.

"The girl sitting in the back row wearing those old-fashioned glasses."

"Do you like her?"

"Can you stop interpreting everything in that direction? Can we talk about something other than romance?"

"Then why are you recommending her? Give me a reason."

"Because I think her personality would mesh well with yours. You should give it a try."

"You know her so well—she isn't your distant cousin, is she?"

"No. It's just that I'm a good judge of character. Anyway, go talk to her. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work out."

"Oh."

"Well, it's still early. I just downloaded a movie yesterday. Let's watch it together."

Bai Ye turned on the TV and connected his phone.

Hasebe sat up immediately. "What genre is it?"

"Romance."

"Hmm..." Hasebe looked up at him, and seeing that his expression remained perfectly normal, she said, "Do you watch these kinds of movies often?"

"No, only recently."

He had no personal interest in this genre of romance film; he was only watching it to learn.

Hasebe didn't say anything more, and the two of them watched the somewhat melodramatic Korean movie in silence.

There were two parts to this film, so he simply watched them both.

While Hasebe had been watching with great interest at first, as time passed, she gradually grew drowsy, and finally, unable to hold out any longer, her head tilted and she fell asleep leaning against his shoulder.

Reality was just as melodramatic.

He glanced at the girl on his shoulder and let out a faint sigh.

"What should I do... maybe I'll just let her sleep here."

Seeing her sleeping so soundly, Bai Ye really didn't have the heart to wake her up.

Looking down from her cheeks, a body tempting enough to commit a crime came into view: full breasts, a slender waist, and soft, shapely, straight thighs.

It was no wonder she had been ranked number one on the "girl most wanted to sleep with" list.

"It's a good thing I'm a gentleman, otherwise I definitely would have eaten you up," he said fiercely, then laughed out loud.

Just at that moment, he caught a glimpse of Hasebe's eyelashes trembling slightly.

"..."

She was actually faking sleep...

Honestly, this woman loved teasing him way too much; she even had to put on a performance for this.

Since that was the case, she couldn't blame him.

"Let's just sleep together tonight."

He wrapped his arms around the girl's waist and carried her to the bed.

His movements were gentle and slow, waiting to see when she would be unable to help herself and open her eyes.

However, even after he tucked Hasebe into the covers, she still didn't "wake up."

He couldn't just pounce on her now; if he really did that, their friendship would be over regardless of the situation.

Helpless, he took another quilt from the closet and spread it out on the floor.

After finishing, he came to Hasebe's side, kissed her forehead lightly, and whispered into her ear in a voice that was gentle yet tinged with playfulness:

"Good night, Big Sister~"

Then he returned to his own bedding and lay down.

After the lights went out.

Hasebe suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze becoming sharp and alert.

She took a few deep breaths and closed her eyes once more.

However, that sentence kept echoing in her mind, and as she savored it, her heart nearly melted.

This was--

Too cute!
