"Ugh..."
Saionji deliberately let out a long sigh.
"...Aren't you being way too greedy? You already have such a cute girlfriend."
"Can she really be called my girlfriend if she won't even let me kiss her?"
"Even if you tell me that, there's nothing I can do to solve it for you. Katsura's way of thinking is just too different from mine..."
"Then what about you, Saionji? What would you want to do with a boyfriend you were dating?"
As he spoke, Lin Feng moved closer to Saionji.
"Hugging, kissing, things like that..."
"That's exactly what I mean."
A powerful wave of embarrassment suddenly surged through her. Why did she have to say her fantasies out loud right in front of Lin Feng himself?
"And then?"
"And then what... Of course, you just let things happen naturally."
"How am I supposed to understand that?"
"Honestly, why don't you use me for practice, then~"
"Huh...?"
Saionji and Lin Feng stared at each other.
Saionji herself was surprised that she had said something like that.
"Practicing with you... wouldn't that be a bad idea?"
"No, I mean pretending. Practicing things like treating someone gently. If you want, I can be your practice partner."
Saionji replied without thinking. That was right, it would only be pretending. There was no way it could go any further than that.
"Is that so... Practice."
"Yeah, wouldn't actual practice be more helpful than explaining it with words? But it's only practice, okay?
If you dare do anything extra, I'll chop you to death with one strike."
"I wouldn't do anything to you."
There seemed to be a trace of regret in his tone. Saionji merely watched the disappointment in Lin Feng's eyes and said nothing more.
Even though he already had a girlfriend, Saionji could not tear her eyes away from him.
"Don't be shy, come in..."
Saionji opened the front door and invited Lin Feng inside.
"Excuse me..."
The house was completely dark. It seemed Saionji's mother had not returned yet.
"Oh—so this is your house, Saionji?"
"It's messy, so don't go looking around. I'm going to change clothes. Just wait here for now."
Saionji hurried into her room and took a change of clothes from the closet. Fortunately, she had cleaned just yesterday, so the room was still neat. Looking around, there should not have been anything too embarrassing lying about.
Saionji had been the one to invite Lin Feng to her house.
Aside from wanting to avoid the gossiping crowds at school, more importantly, Saionji wanted to find somewhere farther away from Kotone.
It was not because she felt guilty or indebted. Saionji simply wanted to be alone with Lin Feng.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
After changing into a white tank top for lounging at home, Saionji invited Lin Feng from the living room into her room. Lin Feng first looked around the room with great interest, then carefully examined Saionji from head to toe.
"It looks pretty nice."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Lin Feng's eyes were fixed on Saionji's smooth thighs exposed beneath her miniskirt.
His gaze was so obvious that Saionji did not know how to react, and even her cheeks flushed red without her realizing it.
"Then... shall we begin?"
"Ah, sure."
Lin Feng casually swept his gaze over Saionji from top to bottom.
"What are you looking at?"
"No, it's just that I suddenly thought Saionji was really cute too..."
"Idiot, are we doing this or not?"
Standing before Lin Feng, Saionji was blushing so hard she looked ready to bleed. They had agreed it was only practice, yet she could not help feeling nervous.
Now that things had gone this far, Saionji did not know how to continue.
"Ah..."
Lin Feng suddenly pulled Saionji into a tight embrace. His arms wrapped firmly around her waist, almost leaving her unable to breathe.
"Sorry, was I too rough?"
"No, not at all."
Lin Feng's chest was broader than she had imagined, and Saionji felt dizzy as he held her in his arms. His warmth passed through their clothes, his breath brushing her cheeks, and a tingling pleasure immediately ran through her body.
"Okay, what do we do next?"
"Um, uh... Right, we should probably say sweet things. Like, 'I like you,' or 'You're so cute,' something like that."
"Saionji, I like you. I like you so much."
Hearing Lin Feng's sweet words, Saionji's legs trembled with happiness. She knew it was only practice, yet her body reacted pitifully anyway.
"Y-you said it wrong. Right now, you're supposed to imagine I'm Katsura. How can you call me Saionji?"
"But the person in front of me is Saionji. I can't see you as Kotone at all."
"Mm... Then I guess there's nothing we can do about it."
"What next?"
"Next... should be a kiss, right?"
After Saionji spoke shyly, Lin Feng's face slowly moved closer to hers.
The girl hurriedly turned her face away.
"Hey, you can't do that. Aren't we practicing...?"
Just as Saionji spoke, Lin Feng's lips pressed down on hers.
The feeling of her lips being sucked left Saionji unable to control herself.
"Mmh... Wait, stop..."
Even though she wanted to resist, Saionji had no strength in her body. Lin Feng seemed not to hear her as he slipped his tongue into her mouth and tangled it with her little tongue.
Saionji's Fall
The stimulation of their entwined tongues far exceeded Saionji's imagination,
and the girl's mind instantly went blank.
Her body burned so fiercely that Saionji could no longer hold herself up,
and could only collapse limply into Lin Feng's arms.
"Hah... ah... Lin Feng..."
"Saionji..."
Lin Feng's hand slipped beneath her clothes and slowly moved toward Saionji's breasts. When it finally reached their softness, his palm gently grasped them and began to caress them slowly.
"Ah, there..."
What should I do? Should I push him away?
His burning palm stroked her sensitive breasts, making Saionji feel so good she was about to lose herself. Though she knew they could not continue, Saionji could not refuse Lin Feng's gentleness. Just thinking of him desiring her body made her feel strangely superior.
...Even if, even if I was only Kotone's substitute.
"Ahhn, ahh, mmm...!"
At some point, Saionji's short skirt had been pulled up, and Lin Feng's fingers were wandering over her tender buttocks. Whenever he intentionally or unintentionally brushed across sensitive flesh, her body responded with an indescribably sweet sensation. This was the first time Saionji had ever felt anything like it.
Unable to refuse him firmly, Saionji found Lin Feng's movements growing more intense. She had thought his fingers would merely stroke along the edge of her underwear, but the next moment, they slowly tried to slip inside.
"Stop... You can't touch there, stop..."
"Ah."
"What do you mean, 'ah'? You can't take them off..."
"I didn't take them off... Aren't you still wearing them?"
"I-I am, but if you keep touching me like this... Aah!"
As they spoke, Lin Feng's fingers slipped in from the side of her underwear, his index finger brushing against that slit.
In an instant, Saionji startled and clamped her legs around Lin Feng's hand.
"N-no, you can't. This is the one thing you absolutely can't do."
"I know I shouldn't, but after things have gotten this far, you know I can't stop anymore, right?"
"No means no."
"Saionji, I like you."
Looking directly into Saionji's tearful eyes, Lin Feng said those words without hesitation.
"Then do you like me more than Katsura?"
"Uh... I like both of you..."
"Are you an elementary schooler? How can you be so greedy..."
"Sorry, I shouldn't have made things difficult for you, Saionji." As he spoke, Lin Feng withdrew his hand.
When she saw the clear disappointment flash through his eyes, Saionji suddenly felt a pang in her heart.
"It's not like that... Don't make such a sad face.
Honestly, I don't know what to do with you. Fine... If you want to, then do it."
"Huh? Really?"
Saionji nodded lightly. Though she was still confused, it seemed there was no turning back after things had reached this point.
And Lin Feng had said he liked her too.
It did not matter even if those words were valid only for today. If she wanted Lin Feng to look at her more, to care about her a little more, there was no other way besides sleeping with him. If she wanted him to stay by her side, she could only tempt him with her body.
A practice partner really was such a convenient excuse.
"Yeah... I'm going to start."
Lin Feng slowly pushed Saionji down onto the bed.
She could hear him swallow audibly.
Ah, so Lin Feng liked her body too...
"Ah... mm..."
After lifting Saionji's shirt, her round breasts were exposed to the air. Lin Feng's gaze locked directly onto them.
"Saionji's breasts are so cute."
"Thank you... But mine aren't as pretty as Kotone's, are they?"
