霞之丘诗羽摸黑走下楼梯。
She tried to be as quiet as possible.
‘If I wake that guy up, it would be too embarrassing.’
Thinking this,霞之丘诗羽 slowly approached the kitchen.
However, she had only reached the middle of the living room.
‘Click!’
With a crisp click of a switch.
The living room lights turned on, the bright light from the incandescent bulb causing霞之丘诗羽 to squint slightly.
After adjusting to the sudden bright light.
霞之丘 looked towards the switch.
Xue Jian Yuan was standing on the side of the living room near the kitchen.
Seeing this,霞之丘 didn't say a word and turned around to leave.
But just as she turned around.
She heard hurried footsteps behind her, followed by a hand grabbing her wrist.
It was a long, warm hand.
His fingers were long enough to wrap around her wrist with room to spare.
The warmth from the contact made霞之丘's body stiffen slightly.
She tried to maintain a cold expression as she turned back around.
“What are you doing?”
She frowned.
Her words and gaze were as cold as the Arctic wind, enough to make anyone shiver.
But even if her expression was cold.
Anyone who knows霞之丘诗羽 would know that if she wasn't sarcastically saying something scathing.
Then she wasn't truly disgusted or angry.
This cold reaction was actually a sign of panic.
So Xue Jian Yuan remained unmoved, firmly holding霞之丘's wrist.
They stood there for a moment.
霞之丘诗羽 felt a pain in her stomach again, and her body involuntarily softened.
Xue Jian Yuan took advantage of this and pulled her to sit on the living room couch.
Then he turned and walked into the kitchen.
霞之丘诗羽 watched Xue Jian Yuan's back, her eyes swirling with complex emotions.
Soon, Xue Jian Yuan returned from the kitchen.
He was holding a cup of coffee and a small saucer.
“Senpai, I tried to make some hand-crafted coffee, can you try it for me?”
He asked softly.
These seemingly weightless words seemed to hit霞之丘's heart heavily.
The suppressed emotions in her heart burst out.
Her eyes instinctively looked towards the shipping box by the door.
The originally sealed shipping box had been opened, and the items inside had been taken out.
From the size and the shape of the foam inside, one could guess what was inside.
Moreover, even without the matter of the coffee machine.
How could霞之丘诗羽 not know that Xue Jian Yuan doesn't drink coffee.
Only she, because of writing light novels, ignores the time and stays up very late, so she often drinks coffee.
Two sugar cubes were on the small saucer.
When霞之丘诗羽 drinks coffee, she adds two sugar cubes.
No more, no less.
Even with seven or eight layers of filters,霞之丘诗羽 couldn't possibly see this cup of hand-crafted coffee as a coincidence.
She couldn't bear to trample on this intention, no matter how proud she was.
She put the two sugar cubes into the cup.
霞之丘诗羽 held the cup with both hands and took small sips.
Seeing霞之丘 start to drink coffee, Xue Jian Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and turned back into the kitchen.
Soon, the sounds of ‘thump thump’ chopping vegetables and the sound of fire starting came from the kitchen.
She sipped the coffee slowly.
The warmth spread from her palms to her whole body.
‘Why is it so good?‘
霞之丘诗羽 had this question.
There was no way around it, she usually drinks canned coffee or instant coffee.
Even if Xue Jian Yuan wasn't proficient in hand-crafted coffee.
The taste was not something that those cheap industrial products could compare to.
‘It's much better than the coffee shops, when did he learn how to make this?‘
This time, it was霞之丘诗羽's illusion.
Even with the bonus of his cooking skills, the coffee Xue Jian Yuan made was only about the same as the coffee shops霞之丘 usually went to.
It seemed like she hadn't had a few sips.
Xue Jian Yuan appeared in front of霞之丘 again.
He placed a bowl of steaming noodles on the table in front of霞之丘, with a few pieces of char siu and some raw vegetables in the bowl.
He also used several small saucers to hold a few side dishes that had been set aside, placing them beside the noodles.
霞之丘诗羽 couldn't say anything, she could only 'resign herself to fate' and pick up her chopsticks, taking small bites of noodles.
It was unbelievably delicious.
霞之丘 didn't even know the names of the few side dishes.
But she finished every last one.
Her vision blurred.
It must be the steam.
Through her blurry vision, the boy sat opposite her, just like he did before.
At this moment,霞之丘 even felt that the two of them hadn't been apart for three years at all.
However, no matter how slowly she ate, a bowl of noodles finally reached the bottom.
霞之丘 silently picked up the bowl and chopsticks and took them into the kitchen.
The sound of water came out.
It stopped after a while.
Xue Jian Yuan stood outside the kitchen waiting for her.
When she finished washing the dishes and came out, he smiled lightly at her and said,
“Senpai, good night!”
“Good night...”
霞之丘 responded, then fled in a panic.
She couldn't help but escape.
霞之丘 was afraid that if she didn't escape, she wouldn't be able to resist.
She wouldn't be able to resist lowering her head, giving up her pride, and apologizing to the boy in front of her, begging him to make up.
Watching霞之丘诗羽 flee in a panic.
Xue Jian Yuan couldn't help but smirk.
Tonight's Senpai, had taken off her school uniform and was wearing a homey dark blue nightgown.
Her curves were perfectly accentuated, the perfect curves that made it difficult to look away.
Her long black hair, like satin, though only adorned with a white headband, was like a work of art, adding extra points for her.
Those long beautiful legs were still in black tights, but the nightgown, which was shorter than her JK skirt, easily allowed people to see her absolute domain.
It was simply perfect, add one more point and it would be too thick, subtract one point and it would be too thin. Even a casual shot would be a wallpaper-level beauty shot.
Xue Jian Yuan only had time to appreciate this beautiful outfit of霞之丘's Senpai now.
But...well, it's not too late!
He watched霞之丘's figure disappear into the stairwell.
Xue Jian Yuan turned and walked towards his room.
Sleep, sleep!
