Chapter 20 Frustrated Wind Sauce

Frustrated, she didn't notice that Hagiwara, seemingly calm and nonchalant with a touch of frivolity, as if the kiss just now meant nothing to him, actually had slightly red ear tips, like he had drunk strong alcohol. After releasing her, he even crossed his legs somewhat unnaturally.

He assumed the other person was like those high school students in Japanese anime who started dating in middle school and were already very experienced in high school. He was outstanding and experienced in this area, having received countless love letters from middle school to now. Sure enough, handsome guys are popular.

He's so skilled at flirting, kissing, and even coughing... his girlfriend has probably dated several men before. She couldn't help but open her half-moon eyes and complain, "Hmph! You've only been in the game for less than two days and you're already launching a surprise attack!"

Even if you're handsome and don't worry about your girlfriend getting angry, you should worry about her being disgusted by your indiscriminate eating! You actually dared to sleep with a middle-aged woman?

“Haha…” O(∩_∩)O Haha~ Hearing her make such a sarcastic remark, Kenji Hagiwara couldn’t help but burst out laughing, until he saw that Kaze’s face was getting worse and worse because of his laughter.

She forced a smile and asked, "Are you subtly asking if I have a girlfriend? Don't worry, I've been single for 22 years. I don't even have an ex, let alone a girlfriend. You don't have to worry about me interfering in someone else's relationship!"

Furthermore, I've seen women who feel rude when asked their age, but I never imagined someone would actively add to their age. 35 isn't middle-aged; isn't it the prime of life?

"Hey! I don't care if you have a girlfriend or an ex or anything, why are you telling me these things?" This person's words sound like he's saying that the kiss just now wasn't because of any male impulse, but had some other meaning?

No, no, no... Feng Xing Shou, don't you know what you're like? Think about what those comments are saying. Don't flatter yourself and be seen as an ugly, pretentious fangirl!

She was giving herself this warning! Kenji Hagiwara, who was very good at reading people, saw the inferiority complex beneath her feigned indifference. He didn't say anything encouraging to help her rebuild her confidence.

Instead, he gave her a half-smile, his words ambiguous, and replied, "Of course it's because I have romantic feelings for Feng-chan. Expressing some romantic information about the person I'm pursuing is a basic expression of sincerity, no matter which country you're in, right?"

"Huh?" Feng Xingshou was being confessed to for the first time in her life, and by a young, handsome, and promising police officer named Sang. A sense of joy did indeed emerge in her heart, making her heart beat as fast as time itself.

But the harsh reality quickly brought her to her senses: "Don't lie to me. How could a handsome guy like you, with a decent job, not have a girlfriend?"

"It's true! Although I've been confessed to since middle school, I've always politely rejected them." Kenji Hagiwara explained with a light laugh, though it was unclear whether he was telling the truth or not. He even complained, "However, a junior from a nearby middle school gave me a love letter when I was in high school."

She even made a date with me in her love letter to reply, but when I got there I waited until dark and she never showed up. Sigh! I'm not as popular as you think!

"Really?" Feng Xingshou was a little incredulous to hear that a girl would actually stand up such a handsome guy, and suspected that he was just joking with her.

"It's true, that was the first time in my life I was dumped, it left a very deep impression on me." Seeing her doubt, Kenji Hagiwara looked very serious, and after explaining, he even asked with a wronged expression, "Is Kaze going to dump me like that junior of mine?"

.

"Don't misuse Chinese. In Zhongzhou Kingdom, 'dumping' only means starting a relationship and then breaking up."

"It has a completely different meaning from the Japanese word for 'to fling'." Feng Xingshou rolled her eyes at him after hearing this. She didn't believe a word of what this frivolous guy said.

So after saying that, she continued to look at him with her half-moon eyes and said, "You've only known me for less than two days and you've already developed romantic feelings for me? Pfft! I don't know what you're thinking, but don't joke with me like that, or I might really stick to you."

"Hehe... I'd rather welcome you clinging to me!" After hearing her say that, Kenji Hagiwara said this with a half-smile, which left Kazehoshi Mori speechless. He then looked at her seriously for a while, then leaned over and hugged her.

He held her against his chest for a while before saying in a serious tone, "Feng-chan! Thank you, thank you for choosing me in yesterday's dungeon, thank you for reminding me what I can do for Jinpei, thank you for being by my side tonight."

"...Why are you being so mushy? You have to thank me for such a small thing. You save my life every time you race, so should I keep thanking you too?" Such sentimental actions and words were hard for Feng Xingshou to accept.

She had never been so sentimental in her 35 years of life, so after hearing him say that, she not only got goosebumps, but her scalp also felt numb, o(￣ヘ￣o＃). She could only push him away and say, "Hmph! I would never do such a cheesy thing!"

"Alright! Since you don't like it, I'll try my best to correct it in the future." Although Kenji Hagiwara, who was pushed by her, sat back in the driver's seat with her strength, he rested his elbow on the center armrest and looked at her with a smile.

But then he said in a frivolous tone, "But Feng-chan should also be careful in the future. After all, I am a man in the prime of my life with full physiological functions."

He might be easily tempted and aroused by masculine impulses, and then he might not be able to resist doing something to you! Like just now, or even more extreme, making you wet..."

"Shut up!" Seeing that such lewd words were about to come out of this guy's mouth, Feng Xingshou was almost going crazy. His face, which had just calmed down, was about to explode: "You're a police officer, right? Is it okay for you to say such things?"

Besides, when did I ever seduce him? I just accidentally pressed my chest against his leg! Why did he react so strongly? Is it because he's his age, or are all men so easily impulsive?

"Police officers are human too. They also want to fall in love, get married, and do intimate things with their future wives!" Kenji Hagiwara said with a nonchalant smile, making it impossible to tell whether he was telling the truth or not.

"If you dare to mess around again, I'll really stick to you." Feng Xingshou looked at his expression, and her inferiority complex made her feel that he was just joking with her, so she couldn't help but angrily scare him.

But as she spoke, she recalled the feeling of her entire back and tailbone going numb when his tongue was passionately entwined with hers. In her 35 years of life, she was experiencing her first kiss in a way that was more exaggerated than any novel description.

A sudden, inexplicable sense of frustration arose: "Don't you find it disgusting that even a normal man like me would go after middle-aged women who seem greasy just because there aren't any other suitable women here?"

“If Jinpei were here right now, he would definitely explain for me that I’m not the kind of person who settles for someone who isn’t suitable.” Kenji Hagiwara turned to look at her and tucked a stray strand of her hair behind her ear.

He gently brushed his thumb across her slightly swollen red lips, which he had kissed, and said with a smile but with a serious look in his eyes, "Before I met you, I had no first love, so I didn't know what kind of person I liked. But I know now."

.

"..." Looking at the other person, it seemed like they were saying...

He saw himself as someone who was attracted to the opposite sex, and Feng Xingshou worried that if he continued talking to him, he would take his jokes seriously, embarrass himself, and be laughed at by him.

Choosing to flee without a fight, she avoided his gaze while actively trying to change the subject: "Oh! Right, I haven't checked what's in the bronze treasure chest I just got!"

It would be great if this road trip game, like those in road survival novels, had upgrade features such as expanding or increasing the size of the vehicle's cargo area, and if you could open treasure chests to get rewards that could expand the cargo space.

As she spoke, she took out bronze treasure chests and a crowbar from her backpack and opened them one by one. As she opened each chest, notifications of various supplies flashed across her screen.

Congratulations to the survivor for obtaining one smokeless charcoal crafting blueprint, 40 units of wood, and 10 units of bronze.

[Congratulations to the survivor for obtaining one Small Planting Pot Crafting Blueprint, 10 units of Yellow Clay, 10 units of Nutrient Soil, and 10 units of Bronze.]

[Congratulations to the survivor for obtaining one low-level vehicle body right-side one-way expansion blueprint, 10 units of Black Iron, 10 units of Rubber, and 10 units of Bronze]

[Congratulations to the survivor for obtaining one single sofa bed crafting blueprint, 10 units of wood, 10 units of cotton, 10 units of cloth, and 10 units of bronze.]

Congratulations to the survivor for obtaining one low-level trunk expansion blueprint, 20 units of Black Iron, and 10 units of Bronze.

[Congratulations to the survivor for obtaining one low-level vehicle body left side one-way expansion blueprint, 10 units of black iron, 10 units of rubber, and 10 units of bronze.]

Looking at this incredible windfall, Feng Xingshou quickly studied all the blueprints and exclaimed excitedly, "There really are rewards for car body extensions! Wow! Second year of graduate school, you're so lucky to get such a great reward from monster drops!"

"Isn't it you who gets exactly what you wish for?" He said that Feng Jiang's luck was definitely the type favored by the gods, unlike him, who would have been cannon fodder if he hadn't met her, would have been in big trouble if he had a little luck, and would be unlucky if he didn't step on the brakes at the crucial moment.

Kazesei-no-Mori never expected that someone like him, who couldn't drive and was captured by the game to survive, would be seen as a lucky person favored by the gods in Hagiwara's eyes. Hearing his casual remarks, Kazesei-no-Mori couldn't help but reveal his beady eyes.

He revealed his true thoughts on why he suddenly said that: "Uh... I just noticed that the darkness under your eyes was even deeper than yesterday, and that your long legs were always huddled up in a cramped position under the steering wheel, and I felt a little sorry for you."

Thinking about how someone as tall as you is sleeping in a car that's only slightly more spacious than a low-speed electric car, no wonder you've got dark circles under your eyes in less than two days. If only the interior of the car could be widened a bit, at least you could stretch your legs out and sleep!

She also missed her two-meter-long bed at home, which was big enough for a fat person like her to roll around in, so she just casually said... But as she spoke, she realized that she was really lucky with this unboxing, and there was nothing to complain about.

"Heh... So Fu-chan cares about me that much, that's really gratifying." Kenji Hagiwara seemed quite pleased to hear the reason behind her earlier outburst.

Seeing this, Feng Xingshou thought of the embarrassing things he had just said to someone he had only known for a short time, and quickly tried to ignore his presence, changing his words to say, "Ahem... Anyway, now that we have the materials and the blueprints..."

"Let's fix up the car. You can go back to sleep after I've finished the extension. I reckon once the upgrade is complete, you'll be able to lie down and get a good night's sleep! Oh, and there's a sofa bed too; adding that will definitely make you sleep even better."
