The dragon raised its head, peering into the abyss.
Bai Yuyou also fell silent for a few seconds. She seemed to have felt something, but still squeezed further in.
Ye Shuang: "?!"
Are you doing this on purpose or by accident?
At this moment, the girl turned her head and tilted it. "Ye Shuang, what's wrong?"
Ye Shuang: "..."
"It's nothing, just get off me first."
"I like it like this."
"..."
He pinched the bridge of his nose. He must be overthinking it; Yuyou probably didn't do it on purpose—but at this moment, Bai Yuyou's ears were tinged with pink, though she continued to look forward expressionlessly.
Meanwhile, Tang Keke, who was watching an anime, swam over with a grin and sat right next to Ye Shuang. "Brother, is the water temperature too high? Your face is all red."
"Yeah... a little." Ye Shuang covered his forehead.
Tang Keke was still focused on the plot, while Bai Yuyou nestled in Ye Shuang's arms, but suddenly closed her eyes—her soft, long hair spread out in the bathwater, making it almost impossible to see what was happening underneath.
The anime was loud, currently playing a newly released episode.
"Wow!" Tang Keke suddenly exclaimed as she saw the climax of the plot.
"Mmh?" And Bai Yuyou suddenly plunged headfirst into the bathwater.
"Yuyou?!"
Ye Shuang hurriedly lifted Bai Yuyou up, only to find the girl staring at the ceiling with slightly unfocused eyes. The bath towel on her body was soaked, and her legs were pressed slightly together, trembling.
"Yuyou, are you okay?" Tang Keke was also taken aback, not knowing what had happened to Bai Yuyou for a moment.
"She might be a little dizzy from the hot spring." Ye Shuang supported Bai Yuyou up, and the girl lay motionless on him like a puddle of mud.
"Yuyou?" Tang Keke checked on Bai Yuyou's condition. The girl's face had wet strands of hair clinging to it and was flushed with a red tint. She seemed to be doing alright; she must have slipped down accidentally.
"I'm fine, my head just feels a bit dizzy," Bai Yuyou said softly, and then gradually calmed down.
Ye Shuang then let the girl sit beside him. He wanted to say something, but after glancing at Keke, he ended up saying nothing.
After soaking for a while longer, the group got out.
Everyone changed into well-fitting yukatas. Ye Shuang wore a relatively plain blue-black one, while Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke wore pink and yellow respectively, making them look full of youthful energy.
However, as expected, there wasn't a size that properly fit Keke, making her look exceptionally busty.
"This seems pretty nice. We can go have a big meal after resting a bit more." Ye Shuang checked the time.
From six o'clock until ten o'clock, they could go to the food street next door and eat all the way down the street. As long as they held a hot spring ticket, they could eat all they wanted.
Meanwhile, Bai Yuyou stood beside Ye Shuang, constantly hugging his arm.
"Ye Shuang, did you like it just now?" the girl suddenly looked up and asked in a low voice.
Ye Shuang was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Where did you learn that?"
Bai Yuyou didn't explain. Instead, she let go of his arm and took small steps to stay beside Tang Keke.
Ye Shuang: "..."
Seeing the girl's cute, expressionless face, Ye Shuang suddenly wondered if she wasn't as clueless as he had imagined.
But it made sense—to put it bluntly, Yuyou was an adult now. She was no longer the ignorant and innocent girl in his memory. As she learned more about the world, this step was an inevitable part of the process.
Thinking about what had just happened, Ye Shuang suddenly fell silent for a while. But wasn't this step a bit too big? She even learned how to polish a gun.
It was highly likely that Keke had been a bad influence on her.
Ye Shuang's gaze fell on Tang Keke.
Sensing Ye Shuang's gaze, Tang Keke subconsciously glanced at her own backpack: "Eh?"
"..."
Approaching six o'clock, Ye Shuang and the others emerged from their hotel room and headed to the food street. Since it was just next door, they simply walked there.
Perhaps because of the New Year's Day holiday, the hot spring resort was exceptionally crowded, with everyone walking toward the food street.
Fireworks suddenly bloomed in the sky, the sound drawing everyone's eyes upward.
Antique Japanese-style architecture, girls in yukatas, and blooming fireworks.
For a moment, the atmosphere seemed absolutely perfect, so much so that Tang Keke took out her phone, her eyes shining.
"This is the perfect time to take pictures!"
"Brother, stand with Yuyou, I'll take a picture of you two!"
"Hmm?" Hearing this, Ye Shuang didn't object. Meanwhile, Bai Yuyou moved next to Ye Shuang and pressed herself very close to him—so close that if Ye Shuang lowered his head slightly, he could see a large expanse of snow-white skin.
Along with the three-two-one countdown, the two of them coincidentally raised their hands in peace signs.
"Ugh, that's so tacky. Don't you guys have any elegant poses?" Tang Keke lowered her phone and couldn't help but complain. In such a beautiful setting, doing a peace sign wasn't really appropriate, was it?
"Brother, look at Yuyou."
"Look at her... like this?" Ye Shuang looked straight at the girl, while Bai Yuyou directly reached out and hugged Ye Shuang's waist, tilting her chin up to look at him.
"Yes, yes, yes, just like that!" Tang Keke snapped a few pictures and suddenly asked, "Can you guys get a bit closer?"
"Closer?"
Ye Shuang was about to ask if he should bend down a little, but Bai Yuyou had already stood on her tiptoes and kissed him.
A familiar sensation transmitted over; her jelly-like lips made Ye Shuang freeze for a second.
"Yoooooooooooooooooooooooo—" Tang Keke suddenly let out a shrill squeal, frantically pressing the shutter button.
If Keke were lying in bed right now, she would probably be writhing around like a worm.
Such an assertive Bai Yuyou!
After parting, Bai Yuyou still maintained her expressionless look, but asked softly, "Ye Shuang, do you like this?"
Ye Shuang: "..."
How am I supposed to answer that?
Moreover, Ye Shuang felt that Yuyou was somewhat different from before. Although she still had the same cute, expressionless face, there was an indescribable charm added to her.
Being stared straight at by the girl's jewel-like eyes, Ye Shuang suddenly said, "Let's eat first. We're all hungry, right?"
Bai Yuyou nodded, "Hungry."
Tang Keke looked a bit regretful at this moment. "Ah, it would have been great if you guys did that a few more times. I feel like I didn't capture it well."
She looked at her phone, then opened the camera to adjust it. After a few seconds, she suddenly lowered her phone in confusion and looked behind Ye Shuang—
"Eh?"
"What's wrong, Keke?" Ye Shuang turned around and found that there seemed to be nothing behind him except for some passing tourists.
"I... I think I saw it wrong. I just saw An Shiyu wearing a purple yukata." Tang Keke hesitated for a moment, then spoke uncertainly.
"An Shiyu?"
"And I actually saw two An Shiyus!" Tang Keke was a little terrified.
A hallucination!
