Moonlight streamed through the window, gently bathing the tatami mats.
Ikenami Shizuka sat by the tatami mat, gazing at the sleeping Hanyu Nan, and sighed softly.
Her fingers seemed to have their own will, unconsciously lingering in Yuzuru Nan's hair, gently brushing aside the stray hairs on the boy's forehead to reveal his smooth forehead.
In this quiet moment, she silently thought to herself that perhaps she had already grown accustomed to Yuzuru's presence in those unintentional moments, accustomed to his childlike dependence and coquetry, accustomed to his companionship and protection.
"Xiao Nan..." Chi Bo Jinghua murmured softly, her voice as gentle as a summer night breeze, yet full of doting affection and helplessness.
She knew that this boy had already quietly entered her life, taken root and sprouted in her life, and become an indispensable part of it.
A moment later, Ikeba Shizuka slowly got up and walked lightly to the window.
She reached out and pulled on a corner of the curtain, gently shutting out the moonlight, which immediately darkened the room.
Then, she moved to the light, paused her finger on the switch for a moment, glanced back at Hanyu Nanami who was fast asleep on the tatami mat, and then pressed the switch.
Darkness instantly enveloped the entire room like a tidal wave.
Relying on her memory and familiarity with the room's layout, she groped her way back to the tatami mat, slowly sat down, and then gradually lay down, adjusting herself into a comfortable position.
Hanyu Nan seemed to sense her approach in his sleep, unconsciously moving closer to her and rubbing his head against the pillow as if searching for a more comfortable position.
Chibo Jinghua turned her head to look at the boy's sleeping face, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up. In the darkness, she gently reached out, pulled the blanket over them, and covered them up.
Then, she slowly closed her eyes, and her breathing gradually became steady and long.
However, as soon as one person closed their eyes, another person opened theirs.
With such a stunningly beautiful woman sleeping beside you, who could possibly fall asleep?
Anyway, Yuzuru couldn't sleep.
He's not a saint.
To remain unmoved by the temptation of a woman in one's lap is the realm of a sage.
He felt he was far from reaching that level.
Under the cover of night, some people began to secretly do "bad things".
First, he held his breath and waited patiently for a while. After confirming that Ikebo Shizuka was asleep, a large hand stealthily reached out from under the covers and finally landed on the beautiful woman's slender waist.
After waiting a while longer, Yuzuru Nan became dissatisfied with the fabric blocking his exploration. His fingers gradually moved down, groping in the darkness until he found the hem of the garment.
One layer of fabric followed by another new layer of fabric.
The fabric felt exceptionally silky and cool to the touch, with a subtle warmth, like flowing moonlight lingering on his fingertips.
Yes, it must be the Empress's New Clothes.
Ikeba Shizuka's eyelashes trembled as she gradually woke up from her sleep, feeling the hand stroking her waist and abdomen. Her eyes remained closed, but her chest rose and fell slightly.
At this point, the person had not yet noticed anything amiss.
After lingering for a short while and making sure he hadn't revealed his little tricks, Yuzuru Hanyu grew bolder and, instead of exploring downwards, chose to explore upwards first.
The moment he touched it, he instantly understood what "warm and gentle" meant. In an instant, his pioneering fingertips were deeply immersed in it, as if drawn by an invisible force.
Before Yuzuru could send more troops to explore further, Shizuka Ikebab, who was sleeping, suddenly turned over, changing from an intimate face-to-face sleeping position to a position with her back to him.
Yuzuru: "......"
Were we exposed?
He doesn't believe it!
Yu Sheng Nan asked tentatively in a low voice, "Master, are you awake?"
The room was dark and there was no response, except for a slightly uneven breathing sound coming from the front.
Yuzuru blinked and instantly understood.
No one answered, so it seems they haven't been exposed.
Knowing that he hadn't been exposed, Yuzuru Nan became even bolder. Without hesitation, he wrapped his arms around Ikenami Shizuka's waist from behind, pressing his chest against her back and feeling each other's warmth.
In the darkness, the rustling of fabric could be heard from the tatami mats.
The boy's fingertips sank into the silk ribbon, and the originally intricate bow instantly transformed into a pool of spring water in his palm.
"Master's waist..." Yu Sheng Nan suddenly leaned close to the stray hairs behind her ear, his nose brushing against her earlobe, "It's three centimeters thinner than I imagined..."
Chi Bo Jinghua, who had been pretending to be asleep with her eyes closed, could no longer maintain her composure and slowly opened her eyes.
A blush crept onto her delicate and dignified cheeks, but the night was too dark for anyone to see her shyness and fluster.
In fact, Yuzuru already knew that Ikenami Shizuka had woken up.
He could tell from her slightly stiff body and her deliberately steady yet somewhat rapid breathing.
Since she didn't say anything, he pretended not to know.
This unspoken "game" continues in the darkness.
After being driven down from the snow-capped mountain, the "Fifth Sister" rallied her forces and launched another attack. This time, thanks to the girl's increasing boldness and perseverance, she easily captured the mountain peak.
After a brief rest, the army set off towards the mountain peak.
Ikeba Shizuka, who had remained silent all along, finally couldn't help but use her right hand to press down on his wandering left hand under the increasingly intense offensive.
Then, a helpless sigh echoed in the quiet night, "Xiao Nan..."
“Master…” Yu Shengnan didn’t give her a chance to continue. His hot lips brushed against her ear, and he breathed out a warm breath, as if he were murmuring to himself, or as if he were making a heartfelt confession: “Master, do you know? Your disciple likes you, but not in the way that is between a master and disciple.”
In the darkness, Ikeba Shizuka's hand trembled slightly as if it had been burned.
Hanyu Nan's fingertips, however, wandered between her fingers, like a spring breeze passing through a cherry blossom grove, carrying an irresistible tenderness.
"Master, do you remember what you said when you first taught me swordsmanship?" He pressed his forehead against her tense shoulder blade. "You said that a true swordsman must face his own desires—just as a blade must face the moonlight to hone its sharpness..."
Chibo Jinghua felt a sour, astringent sensation, like plum wine, rising in her throat.
There was an indescribable feeling that rippled through my heart.
The tatami mats emitted a soft groan.
When the beautiful woman was turned over by Yuzuru, her hairpins had already fallen off.
She saw the flickering fire in the boy's eyes, a fervent and persistent light, burning with endless longing.
