I remember hearing somewhere that "the eye contact between lovers is a spiritual kiss without sexual desire." And it's true, when you're so busy hiding and explaining, how can your sex glands possibly care about anything else?
However, it was only when I recalled it many years later that I was suddenly jolted awake.
It turns out that I once had a happy and sincere love, pure and beautiful.
Can this be considered a genuine item?
……
Friday night, at Yuihama's house.
At this moment, Yui Yuigahama was lying on the sofa in front of the TV, humming a little tune happily. Her clothes had long since changed from her school uniform to loose pink loungewear, which was enough to slightly conceal her overwhelming power.
The max-level slime, having been under immense pressure all day, can only catch its breath for a moment; otherwise, it will face the ultimate mage's holy binding the next day.
In fact, the slime often wondered if it wouldn't have to suffer so much if it weren't so powerful. This is probably what they mean by "too much of a good thing".
However, the master of the contract, Archmage Yui, was clearly unaware of her familiar's thoughts. She still rested her chin on her hands, swaying her little head from side to side, causing her signature single pink puff to sway along with it.
Under the soft light of the living room, the girl's legs seemed like the most delicate branches of a newly blooming flower, gently covered by a layer of silk stockings as thin as a cicada's wing and with a soft color. The flesh color, with its natural sheen, perfectly outlined the smooth and delicate lines of the girl's legs.
At this moment, her long, straight legs were swinging up and down at a certain frequency, her calves moving gracefully in the air like light feathers. Her movements were unhurried, carrying a unique innocence and liveliness characteristic of young girls.
All of this demonstrates the girl's excitement and joy at that moment.
Meanwhile, Yuihama's mother, who is quite plump, is sitting to the side, listening with a look of doting affection as her beloved daughter shares what happened at school this week. She loves this harmonious atmosphere between mother and daughter, and at these moments, she becomes even more fond of her daughter.
However, this sincere love does not stop Yuihama's mother from joking and teasing her own precious daughter.
"Oh my, Yui, every word you said seemed to mention a boy named 'Kiyoshi'. Mommy really wants to meet him too~ When can Yui bring him home so Mommy and Daddy can have a good look at him?"
Yui's mother asked Yui in a pleading, coquettish tone, making it difficult for someone unfamiliar with the situation to distinguish between the daughter and the mother. However, the content of her coquettish pleading didn't seem entirely serious.
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Yui Yuigahama was stunned. Her bright smile vanished instantly, replaced by a hint of panic, and her fair, smooth legs stopped moving.
"Xiaoqing and I are just friends..."
"Hmm? Not friends, or something else? Could it be that you two have already..."
Yuihama's mother feigned surprise, gently covering her slightly parted lips with her hand, but the astonishment in her eyes was undisguised.
"No, no, we didn't do anything!"
Yui Yuigahama quickly sat up from the sofa, waving her hands frantically, afraid that her mother would think the wrong thing again.
"really?"
Yuihama's mother maintained that subtle expression of suspicion, seemingly enjoying this moment of amusement.
"really!"
Seeing this, Yui nodded even more vigorously, her eyes filled with helplessness and shyness at her mother's misunderstanding.
"Okay, okay, Mom was just joking with you."
Having teased her enough, Yuihama's mother decided to stop there. After all, good fun is meant to be enjoyed little by little, isn't it?
Seeing that she had escaped a disaster, Yui breathed a sigh of relief and then said.
"Mom, I'm taking Sabre for a walk tomorrow, so you don't need to take it anymore."
"A walk? You wouldn't be going with Qing, would you?" Yuihama's mother had only said it casually, but seeing her daughter's bewildered expression, she knew she had guessed correctly.
Seriously, do you have to bring a single person on a date now? That's really tough on Sabre...
So, Mom really does have mind-reading abilities! Oh no, now I really am not her biological child! o(╥﹏╥)o
"Remember to go later tomorrow afternoon when it's not so hot, okay? Also, remember to buy some water to stay hydrated. Here you go."
Yui's mother smiled gently and handed her two thousand-yen bills.
"Eh? You don't need so much." Yui didn't accept it directly, but refused.
"Take it, don't wrong yourself, okay?" Yui's mother affectionately patted the pink bun that looked just like her own, and smiled as she stuffed the money into Yui's pocket.
"Yes, Mom is so good. I love you, Mom."
Yui didn't refuse again, opening her arms and hugging her mother's hands tightly. Then, she gently nuzzled her mother's shoulder, and the two of them didn't speak again, enjoying this rare moment of happiness.
Maybe,
Everything is left unsaid.
PS: The first half of this chapter is setup, not just fluff (probably).
Chapter 62 Let's take a walk, let's go for a walk!
The following afternoon, in front of Shiina's house.
"Hey, are you going out?"
"Yeah, I've made plans with a friend to walk the dog or something, but I'll be back before dinner."
Today, Su Qing wore a light blue shirt jacket over a white T-shirt, paired with long, slim-fitting black and gray trousers and white sneakers.
This was the first time Shiina Mahiru had seen Su Qing dressed like this. Su Qing usually dressed quite casually at home, but that didn't mean Shiina thought Su Qing was sloppy at home.
Conversely, Su Qing at home presents a strange contrast to Su Qing in her school uniform for Shiina.
Now, she was only somewhat curious about Su Qing's casual outing.
"Be careful on the road there."
Shiina said softly.
"okay."
After saying goodbye to Shiina, Su Qing turned and left.
Standing still, Shiina unconsciously clasped his hands together in front of his chest, his gaze following Su Qing's figure until he disappeared from sight.
I also want to go out with Su Qing.
Shiina muttered something to herself, unsure of her own feelings, then closed the door and returned to the living room.
Upon arriving at the agreed-upon location, Su Qing glanced at his phone. There were still fifteen minutes until the appointed time. He casually found a place to sit down nearby, scrolled through his phone for a while, and then patiently waited for Yui to arrive.
This has nothing to do with the island's so-called idea that "you must arrive early to date a guy." Su Qing actually doesn't know anything about this either. The reason he came so early was just out of habit, to be prepared.
After all, he always valued agreements made.
"Hey hello~"
A few minutes later, a lively voice rang out from behind, and you could tell who it was without even turning around.
"Coming?"
Su Qing looked behind her. Today, Yui was wearing a light chiffon dress with a light pink or sky blue base, decorated with delicate flower or polka dot patterns. It swayed gently in the wind, like a gentle and refreshing breeze on a summer morning.
The skirt, reaching to the knees, was neither too revealing nor lacking in elegance. It swayed lightly with her steps, showcasing the unique agility and gentleness of a young girl.
For the upper body, a thin knitted cardigan in the same color was worn, draped lightly over the shoulders or tied around the waist, which not only protected against the occasional breeze but also added a touch of casual fashion.
"Um……"
Yui felt a little shy under Su Qing's gaze. She handed the rope holding Sabre to Su Qing, then turned around gently on the spot. Her dress swayed, and due to the lift, her fair thighs could be vaguely seen.
"How, how is it?"
Yui herself didn't even realize that she was a little nervous when she spoke.
"Yeah, you look great today, I almost didn't recognize you."
Su Qing took the dog leash and joked with a smile.
"Well what does that mean!"
The tension vanished instantly, and Yui punched Su Qing's shoulder with her small, pink fist, but the effect was minimal, causing no pain or discomfort.
However, even though she complained a little, Yui was still very happy about Su Qing's praise.
And Xiao Qing looks really cool today!
"Sabre, long time no see! Your master just bullied me, what are we going to do about it?"
Su Qing squatted down and gently stroked Sabre's head with her other hand. Sabre was clearly well-behaved; his head didn't turn red when petted, unlike...
"Wang! Wang!"
Sabre seemed to enjoy Su Qing's petting, so he stretched out his whole body and lay on the ground, letting Su Qing do as he pleased, with only his tail held high and wagging, indicating the dog's mood.
"Little Sa can't talk, and even if she does, she'll definitely be on my side!"
As if asserting her dominance, Yui spoke to Sabre.
"Little Sa, come here quickly, come to me."
However, Sabre seemed not to hear, and continued to enjoy Su Qing's caresses.
[Damn it, I only had my head patted by Xiaoqing once!!]
At this point, Yui couldn't tell whether she was jealous or envious. Why bother arguing so much with a dog!
That's right, a single person is a single person, and I'm not envious at all.
"Look, it ignores you when you call it."
Su Qing stood up, clapped her hands, and smiled at Yui.
"This...this...this was an accident!"
Yui was also a little embarrassed. Sabre usually listened to her, but she didn't know why he didn't listen to her in front of Su Qing. Now that she thought about it, it seemed that the first time was also like that.
"Oh, okay, what a surprise! Why are you here so early?"
Su Qing had actually heard a little about island culture. Although it wasn't a date in the sense of a boyfriend and girlfriend, it was usually the man who would arrive a while earlier. This was the first time she had heard of the woman arriving earlier.
That said, if both parties arrive fifteen minutes early, does that mean they both have to wait fifteen minutes until the agreed time, or...?
"Because, because I don't want you to wait too long."
Yui took the dog leash back and smiled at Su Qing.
"Yeah?"
After listening, Su Qing remained silent for a moment before gently tapping Yui's head.
“Let’s go then. I’m here to accompany you on your walk with Sabre today. Just do what you always do, and you can also show me around the area.”
"Yeah, leave it to me!"
Despite feeling a bit aggrieved after being punched on the forehead by Su Qing, Yui straightened her back and acted as if she could take care of the task Su Qing had given her.
……
"Aren't you tired, you idiot?"
Half an hour later, Yui was so excited that she couldn't be stopped. She was supposed to just take a walk, but her pace was much faster than usual. This made Sabre even more excited, and he often dragged Yui along at a jog. The fine, glistening beads of sweat on the girl's cheeks said it all.
"Hug, sorry."
Yui, panting heavily, apologized to Su Qing. She was indeed a little excited and her pace was much faster than usual. Although Sabre was happy, she was a little exhausted.
Did I mess it up...?
The girl couldn't help but feel guilty.
"What's there to apologize for? Look how happy Sabre is!"
Su Qing looked at Sabre, who was excitedly circling around the two of them, and said with a smile.
"That's right... So, Xiaoqing, what about you?"
When Yui spoke, her tone was clearly lacking in confidence, her eyes were downcast, and she only dared to steal a few glances at Su Qing.
"Me? I'm happy too. It's fun sometimes, isn't it?"
"Yes, really?"
"Hmm, so what if you think I'm angry?"
"Huh? No..." Yui waved her other hand frantically.
"Let's sit over there for a while. How about I treat you to a sundae to show I'm not angry?"
Su Qing pointed to a mobile ice cream stand some distance away and said.
