The sky darkened.
Stars and the moon adorned the canvas of darkness.
The two walked hand in hand on the road.
These two were none other than Ye Xiao and Himejima Akeno; they had left Komaou Academy and teleported near the Himejima Family.
“Xiao, what gift are you preparing for me~”
“That? It’s a secret. You’ll know when we get there.”
“Oh~ Xiao really knows how to tease a girl.”
Listening to Ye Xiao, Zhu Nai hugged his arm, resting her head on his shoulder, speaking with a hint of anticipation.
The two walked slowly.
Soon, they arrived at the Himejima Family.
Looking at the place before her, the smile on Zhu Nai’s face disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented sorrow.
She hadn’t expected to come to this place of sorrow.
Ye Xiao noticed the change in Zhu Nai’s mood.
Yes, how could she like a place that had separated her from her mother? Of course, if there was someone she yearned for inside, then it would be a different story.
Ye Xiao squeezed her hand and comforted her, “Don’t worry, I’m here.”
“Mhm.”
Zhu Nai nodded, choosing to trust Ye Xiao.
Then, the two walked in unimpeded.
They headed towards the back mountain.
Below the shrine, Himejima Akeno looked up at the mountaintop, at her former home.
An indescribable emotion surfaced in her heart.
“Let’s go.”
Ye Xiao pulled Zhu Nai and walked up.
As they got closer to the mountaintop, Zhu Nai’s heart became more and more chaotic.
She didn’t know how to face it.
Soon, they reached the mountaintop.
She looked at the place where she had lived; there was no scene of dilapidation, but rather it was as warm as it had been back then.
She walked inside.
But the next moment, she froze in place, wanting to say something but unable to, her eyes reddening, followed by tears slowly flowing out.
This was simply because she was looking into the room from the main door.
She saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure chatting with her cousin.
She didn’t dare to speak; she was afraid that all of this was an illusion, a misconception.
Inside the room, Himejima Juri noticed someone looking at her.
She turned her head and looked towards the door.
She saw a girl who was 90% similar to herself standing outside the door.
Even after ten years.
But she still recognized that this was her daughter.
Her eyes were also filled with tears, and she said with a smile on her lips.
“Long time no see, my little Zhu Nai has grown up.”
These words directly shattered Zhu Nai’s heart.
It’s…it’s really Mom.
She turned to look at Ye Xiao, her eyes full of disbelief; she hoped Ye Xiao would tell her that all of this was real, tell her it wasn’t a dream.
Ye Xiao rubbed her head and said softly, “Go.”
Having received the answer she wanted.
Himejima Akeno slowly walked towards the shrine, then sped up, began to run, and then threw herself into Himejima Juri’s arms.
A familiar scent, a familiar feeling.
It’s…it’s really Mom.
“Zhu Nai, my child, you’ve grown so big.”
“Mom…Mom!”
The mother and daughter embraced and wept.
Himejima Suzaku, who was beside them, got up and left, closing the door behind her.
She came to Ye Xiao’s side.
“I wonder if my King can lend me a shoulder to lean on.”
“Of course.”
Himejima Suzaku gently leaned on Ye Xiao’s shoulder, her weary body finally finding peace.
Inside the room, the mother and daughter’s crying gradually subsided. Himejima Akeno sniffled and looked up, gazing at the face she hadn’t seen in ten years, wanting to keep looking.
Himejima Juri gently wiped away her tears and stroked her face.
Zhu Nai told her mother all the longing she had accumulated over the past ten years, and Himejima Juri listened quietly.
Outside the room, Himejima Suzaku leaned on Ye Xiao’s shoulder, speaking softly.
“I wonder when my King can give me a child~ After all, Suzaku is the King’s possession~ The children of other family heads are already old enough to run errands.
And Suzaku has been waiting pitifully for my King for ten years~”
Ye Xiao listened to Himejima Suzaku’s words, his lips curving upwards, “When do you want to have a child?”
Himejima Suzaku also smiled; this indirectly indicated that she was considered the King’s consort.
Then she let go of Ye Xiao and said with a smile, “Me~ I’m not in a hurry, but tonight, the King definitely belongs to that little girl Zhu Nai.”
Ye Xiao did not refute Himejima Suzaku’s words.
After all, tonight, Zhu Nai had to be ‘eaten’.
After a while, the door inside the room opened, and Zhu Nai pulled Zhu Nai out.
Zhu Nai’s face was filled with a blissful smile; she ran to Ye Xiao’s side and linked her arm through his.
“Xiao, thank you. This is the best gift I’ve ever received.”
Zhu Nai’s eyes sparkled with tears as she smiled and looked at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao patted her head.
“Since Zhu Nai has received her gift, is there a return gift~”
“Irina was right, Xiao is truly a perverted great devil!”
“Then I’ll go find someone else?”
“Don’t!”
Zhu Nai hastily pulled Ye Xiao, her cheeks flushed. She stood on her tiptoes and lightly kissed Ye Xiao on the cheek.
Zhu Nai, who was beside them, watched this scene, a gratified smile on her face. Would she be a grandmother soon?
No, she was only 26 years old.
But who cares.
Himejima Juri then asked Himejima Suzaku to take her on a good tour of the current Himejima Family.
The shrine was left to the young couple.
She hoped that little Zhu Nai could make use of the little toys she had prepared.
And so, the two left the shrine.
With their departure, the vast shrine was left with only Ye Xiao and Himejima Akeno.
The two looked at each other, both smiling.
“Oh my~ Tonight, Xiao belongs to me~”
“Yes, Zhu Nai will completely belong to me from today onwards.”
The two walked into the house, side by side.
The interior of the house was warm and familiar; Zhu Nai felt as if she had returned to her childhood, to those carefree days.
As for her old man, she wasn’t too familiar with him.
Zhu Nai directly pressed Ye Xiao onto the tatami. Their eyes met, moonlight spilling over them through the window. Zhu Nai looked up, her eyes full of love as she gazed at Ye Xiao.
Then Himejima Akeno leaned down and gently kissed him.
Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow and also began to enjoy himself.
After all, Himejima Akeno was the boldest among them.
For a moment, the room was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere; they were immersed in this beautiful moment, as if the whole world contained only them.
Their lips parted after a long time.
Himejima Akeno took out the small toys her mother had left for her.
Ye Xiao took a look.
Hiss~
Collars, handcuffs, small leather whips.
Gags, ropes, small candles.
Damn, her aunt and uncle played quite a lot.
Anyone could use them, but not on him, since he wasn’t an M.
Ye Xiao stepped forward and put those things back.
“Good girl, we don’t need these.”
“Mhm.”
Ye Xiao now took the initiative, slowly kissing her again.
Both sides’ hormones surged.
Then, all inconvenient clothing was discarded.
Followed by a muffled groan.
The joyful night began!
