Chapter 239 He's serious!
◎Day 13 of the Highway Survival Game!◎
Hagiwara carried Kazesei into her bedroom. He was a little nervous since it was his first time entering, but once inside, he saw that the upgraded bedroom was much more spacious. The room was a simple one with only a bed and no furniture such as a table or chair.
A pang of heartache welled up inside him. If it weren't for this awful game, Feng Jiang could still be living a safe, ordinary, and peaceful life in a prosperous future, without having to endure the dangers of countless dungeons and those thrilling car races...
Taking a deep breath, he gently placed her on the bed. Even though the upgraded smart air conditioning kept the car's interior temperature at the optimal 25 degrees Celsius, Hagiwara still carefully unfolded the neatly folded blanket and covered her with it.
After tucking himself in, he knew he should leave, but looking at Feng Jiang's chubby face and curled eyelashes as she slept, he couldn't help but stay, and he even unconsciously tried to persuade himself to stay.
It's a bit impolite to leave a woman's room without her consent, but since Feng Jiang is sleeping so soundly, I'm a little reluctant to leave. I'll stay for a while longer, and she probably won't notice.
Ahem! Thinking like this seems a bit improper, but I've never been a serious person! So, after convincing myself, Hagiwara simply sat down by Fuusei's bedside, thinking of secretly watching her sleep for a while.
But for some reason, perhaps infected by Feng Xingshou's sweet sleep, he originally planned to sit for a while and then leave, but unknowingly fell asleep...
When Feng Xingshou woke up, besides feeling a slight soreness in his calves, he felt that he woke up today and it was a little different from usual. It was as if his body suddenly became heavy after waking up.
She groggily opened her eyes, and just as she was about to raise her hand to rub them, she felt as if her hand was trapped and she couldn't move it. She subconsciously tried to push away what was trapping her hand, but when she raised her hand, she actually touched a warm skin.
Strange, did I press down on it? I didn't feel anything being touched! She reached out and pushed again, and the feeling became clearer, uh... not only was it warm skin, but it also felt very firm.
Does my obese body really have such firm flesh? The thought flashed through her mind, making her jolted awake. With her heart pounding wildly, she quickly opened her eyes.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a muscular chest exposed by a slightly open shirt collar. Looking up a little, he could see an Adam's apple moving slightly in his line of sight.
She stared at the scene with a chill running down her spine, wondering incredulously if she had somehow developed sleepwalking and accidentally tackled one of the three police officers in the car. -_-||
Could something so terrible really happen? I don't want to embarrass myself internationally! Her heart pounded, and she screamed inwardly. She looked up as if she were trembling with fear, and when she saw that the face above her Adam's apple was Hagiwara, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness it was Hagiwara, not anyone else… The moment this thought of relief crossed her mind, she was stunned. Huh? Why did she think that? Why did she think that it would be okay if she fell on Hagiwara while sleepwalking and didn't fall on anyone else?
-_-|| Could I have really taken Hagiwara's jokes seriously? No, no, no!!! What am I thinking! He's only in his twenties, and I'm almost forty. Besides, judging from his usual personality, he was probably just joking. How could I take it seriously…
.
She was thinking about it when she suddenly saw Hagiwara's eyelids twitch. A feeling she didn't understand herself, and without even realizing what she was thinking, her body instinctively lay back down.
With his eyes tightly shut, he lay there stiffly, pretending to be asleep, his heart pounding with anxiety. Had Hagiwara woken up? Would he be angry that he'd discovered he'd sleepwalked and pounced on him? *cough cough*
Even though I hadn't taken my clothes off and felt that nothing physical had happened, sleeping in the same bed with a fat, greasy woman who was more than 10 years older than me would definitely make me feel dirty and disgusted...
Just as she was lost in thought, she suddenly felt a warm finger gently rubbing her lips a few times, and a warm breath brushing over the top of her lips. This was the kind of feeling that only occurs when lips are touching lips and noses are touching. This warm breath inexplicably reminded her of the last kiss, and the feeling was similar to that time.
Before she could think any further, she heard Hagiwara's familiar voice above her mouth and nose: "It's already too much to sleep in your bed without your permission. Would you feel offended if I kissed you without your permission?"
"Fine, I'll let it slide this time. I'll definitely make you agree next time, hmm~! Feng-chan's personality is rather passive; she definitely won't give direct permission, so at least I'll tacitly agree!"
As soon as the sound stopped, Feng Xingshou felt a warm, moist touch gently brush against his forehead. It was Hagiwara's kiss. Hagiwara had kissed his forehead after he fell asleep, and from what he said, he actually wanted to kiss him more than his forehead...
Even though she felt Hagiwara get up and leave the bedroom after that kiss, and even though that light kiss on the forehead was like a dragonfly skimming the water compared to the last kiss.
But this time, for the first time, she felt that she truly understood Hagiwara's feelings. He didn't seem to be joking, whether it was his ambiguous actions towards her, introducing her to his friends, or his declaration to her brother.
He seemed to be serious all along, and I felt like he was joking. Why? There was such a big age difference between me and Hagiwara, and he was clearly handsome, outstanding in appearance and physique.
Why would he actually fall for her? It couldn't be because of the suspension bridge theory the scientists mentioned, could it? Could a police officer like him really develop feelings for the person who saved him because of the suspension bridge theory?
A flood of thoughts rushed into Feng Xingshou's mind. At this moment, she couldn't fall asleep at all. Even lying there, she felt as if she could feel Hagiwara's presence clinging to her bed. After tossing and turning for a few minutes, she couldn't help but sit up and get out of bed...
.
Fengxingshou lingered in the room for a while before casually walking out of the bedroom. As soon as he came out, he saw that the car was in the driving mode, with Matsuda still driving. Hagiwara and Officer Morofushi were sitting in the passenger seat and the driver and passenger seats, respectively, which surprised him.
As if they had guessed what she was thinking, before Kazeki even asked, Hagiwara explained, "Kaze-chan, if we're going to the year before Akai Tsutomu disappeared tomorrow, we'll need to travel today and tomorrow."
"Mmm! I understand." Feng Xingshou felt his face burning whenever he heard Hagiwara speak, and he responded hastily and nervously.
Matsuda saw Kazesei's expression on the car's infotainment screen in the driver's seat and thought, "I knew it. Hagi stayed in Kaze-chan's room for almost 3 hours. He must have been up to no good. Something must have happened between him and Kaze-chan. Tsk tsk! Kaze-chan has never been this nervous when talking to him before."
As he thought about it, he pretended not to notice the ambiguous relationship between them and said seriously, "We came across a few treasure chests on the way here. We moved them to the warehouse. You can go and open them when you have time."
Ahem... Joking aside, I can't really hold my childhood friend back when he's pursuing a girlfriend. o(*￣︶￣*)o
"By the way, I've already prepared lunch. Just heat it up and you can eat. Are you hungry now? If you are, I'll heat it up." Zhu Fujingguang thought that she had slept for more than 3 hours and must be hungry, so he was about to leave the driver's area to go to the kitchen.
Seeing this, Feng Xingshou quickly stopped him: "No need, no need, I can heat it up myself. By the way, have you guys eaten yet?"
Don't wait for me on an empty stomach; that would be a huge sin. -_-||
"Don't worry, we've already eaten." Matsuda knew what she was worried about, so he grinned and gestured, then winked at Hagiwara as he continued, "But Hagiwara hasn't eaten yet, so why don't you two eat together!"
"Uh... okay!" Feng Xingshou blushed again at these words. If she hadn't woken up earlier and didn't know why Hagiwara hadn't eaten, it wouldn't have been a big deal. But now that she knew he seemed to have slept with her for a while, she realized that he had been sleeping with her.
Hearing Matsuda's words again, she felt extremely embarrassed, like an old cow being caught eating young grass and getting caught in the act, or like a living person experiencing a slight sense of death. She forced herself to remain calm, trying to thicken her skin and agree as if nothing had happened, before quickly hiding in the kitchen.
Hagi was feeling a bit frustrated because Fuu-chan didn't seem to care about his flirtatious behavior. But seeing her reaction, he, who was always good at observing people's emotional responses, immediately realized something and chased after her: "Fuu-chan, let's do it together!"
"Okay!" With no reason to refuse, Feng Xingshou quickly agreed. As soon as she turned on the diesel stove, she saw Hagiwara walk up to her side. The close proximity made her recall the ambiguous scene when she woke up earlier, and she couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
Seeing her like this, Hagiwara immediately raised an eyebrow and asked with a light laugh, "Is Kaze-chan nervous because I'm here?"
"No way!" Feng Xingshou's mind was in turmoil at the moment, and he could no longer treat it as a joke as usual, and he could not convince himself not to believe it if he really thought he would be laughed at.
Subconsciously wanting to avoid talking about relationships, I changed the subject and asked, "By the way, have you checked the performance of the upgraded vehicle? How is it? Is it better than the first-level one?"
"It's not just better performance, it's a qualitative leap in every aspect, especially the upgraded parts. I'm really looking forward to seeing the whole car upgraded to level three!" When she asked about this, her eyes clearly avoided his.
Avoiding eye contact, Hagiwara didn't press the issue. Instead, while wondering why she seemed to have suddenly figured things out, he explained the performance improvements of upgrading the vehicle to level 2: "For example, the center console has been upgraded to a holographic driving mode..."
