The next day, early in the morning, Mr. Su Rui, after waking up, glanced at the blonde girl who was still fast asleep beside him.
Because of the tossing and turning of last night, the girl, who usually would have already washed up and knocked on the door to wake Mr. Su Rui at this hour, was now lying on the soft pillow, her smooth shoulders exposed to the slightly chilly morning air.
Mr. Su Rui gently reached out and pulled the quilt up a bit for Hayasaka Ai. The sleeping girl felt the movement beside her and opened her eyes groggily.
But Mr. Su Rui held down her little head that she wanted to raise and said softly:
"Rest well, there's no rush to do anything else today."
"I want to call the teacher to ask for leave ~"
Hayasaka Ai gently moved her head away, rubbed her cheek against Mr. Su Rui's hand, and looked at the handsome young man in front of her with a rather fond gaze:
"After asking for leave, I'll rest well."
"Okay, I'll bring you breakfast in a bit."
Mr. Su Rui nodded, took out her phone from Hayasaka Ai's pocket and handed it to her before getting up and walking out the door.
The breakfast atmosphere this morning was more deserted than usual. Kaguya Shinomiya sat beside Mr. Su Rui, somewhat puzzled:
"Where's Hayasaka? Isn't she up yet?"
"She's a little tired today, seems a bit unwell, so I let her rest. I'll take you to Shuchiin Academy later."
Mr. Su Rui paused for a moment and looked at Yotsuya Miko, who was eating breakfast with her head down across from him. The girl was still a little nervous and didn't dare to look up at him.
"Where do you go to school? Yotsuya Miko."
"Huh? Me?"
Called out by Mr. Su Rui suddenly, Yotsuya Miko raised her head in surprise, her body trembling subconsciously. She looked nervously at Mr. Su Rui, and after glancing at Kaguya Shinomiya beside Mr. Su Rui, she hurriedly opened her mouth:
"I, I go to the co-ed division of Shuchiin Academy."
"So you and Kaguya Shinomiya are at the same school? That makes it even more convenient."
Mr. Su Rui nodded, not paying attention to Yotsuya Miko's nervousness, and nodded to her: "No need to rush, we have plenty of time."
"I, I understand."
Yotsuya Miko squeezed her legs together somewhat uneasily. After nervously responding to Mr. Su Rui, she lowered her head and continued eating breakfast.
Even though the conversation had ended, the girl's hands were still trembling slightly due to nervousness: 'Mr. Su Rui is concerned about me ~ Although this is a bit bad, and unfair to that girl named Kaguya Shinomiya, but… …'
But Yotsuya Miko still felt happy because of it.
And Kaguya Shinomiya, sitting beside Mr. Su Rui, merely looked coldly at Yotsuya Miko's shy appearance due to Mr. Su Rui's concern, dismissing it with disdain.
Mr. Su Rui is her betrothed, and no matter how hard these women try, they cannot deny this fact.
Kaguya Shinomiya is using the attitude of a victor to mock all the women who try to approach Mr. Su Rui.
However, Yotsuya Miko's gaze still made Kaguya Shinomiya a little jealous, so she subconsciously moved closer to Mr. Su Rui, until their shoulders touched each other, and then the girl blushed and stopped moving, lowering her head and pretending to be focused on eating.
Soon, Mr. Su Rui drove Yotsuya Miko and Kaguya Shinomiya to Shuchiin Academy and returned to his castle.
He was planning to take a warmed-up breakfast to see Hayasaka Ai, who should still be in bed, but found that the blonde girl had already put on her clothes and was walking somewhat laboriously along the corridor of the castle, holding onto the wall.
"What's going on?" Mr. Su Rui frowned, quickly came to Hayasaka Ai's side, and in the girl's exclamation, picked her up in one fell swoop.
Looking down somewhat displeased at Hayasaka Ai, who was clearly unwell but still running around on her own, Mr. Su Rui asked as he carried her forward:
"Why did you run out on your own? If you wanted to get something, wouldn't it have been better to have a maid help you?"
The girl leaned against Mr. Su Rui's chest with a flushed face, gently rubbing her face against Mr. Su Rui's chest:
"… … I just wanted to prepare a refreshing drink for you."
"I don't have the habit of drinking any refreshing drinks, what are you thinking?"
Mr. Su Rui looked down at Hayasaka Ai's eyes, hugging the girl's waist and legs tightly, his tone carrying concern and inquiry.
"It's, the kind of drink that makes you (spirited) up."
Hayasaka Ai's deliberate emphasis on the syllables in her words made Mr. Su Rui understand what she meant, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"I don't need that kind of thing, don't you know? Who was crying and begging for mercy last night?"
"I just felt that you needed to replenish your body, so that later it would also… …"
Hayasaka Ai's words were interrupted by Mr. Su Rui covering her mouth: "Alright, I have no objection to your idea, but at least do it after you feel better, otherwise should I carry you back now and start?"
Mr. Su Rui's words made the girl in his arms shrink back subconsciously, refusing somewhat timidly: "Still, let me rest for a while."
"That's good, what do you want to eat for breakfast? I'll have the chef make it for you again."
"I want to eat what Mr. Su Rui personally makes."
"You have quite a few requests." Looking down at the girl with a sly glint in her blue eyes, Mr. Su Rui didn't mind, carried Hayasaka Ai back to her own room, and then held down the girl's head.
"Wait here obediently for me to come back, making a breakfast won't take long."
Lifting her head and wiping the saliva from the corner of her mouth, looking at the girl in front of him with a rosy face and breathing heavily, Mr. Su Rui left and closed the door.
"Are you going to cook personally?" The maid who had just walked out of the kitchen bowed to Mr. Su Rui: "Do you need me to prepare the ingredients for you?"
"No need, it's just preparing a breakfast, it's still very easy for me."
Looking at the maid who passed by him, Mr. Su Rui spent about half an hour making a simple breakfast. After returning, he saw the white-haired maid pushing Hayasaka Ai's back to help her sit up.
After seeing Mr. Su Rui return with breakfast, the maid nodded to Mr. Su Rui, then got up and left, consciously closing the door.
Mr. Su Rui sat beside Hayasaka Ai, letting the girl lean in his arms, then placed the tray on her lap.
Hayasaka Ai gently rubbed her cheek against Mr. Su Rui, leaning in his arms, her tone carrying a bit of coquettish complaint:
"Now, all the other maids in the house know about my relationship with you, how can I hold my head up in front of them?"
"Is that so? But you are still my maid, or rather, the housekeeper, aren't you? They won't say anything."
Mr. Su Rui didn't care, gently reaching out and pinching Hayasaka Ai's cheek, the girl's blue eyes flashed with cunning, pretending to be worried and grabbing Mr. Su Rui's wrist:
"What if Kaguya Shinomiya finds out?"
"Do you think any maid would dare to speak casually in front of Kaguya Shinomiya?"
