Gao Sijin and Tsukiyuki Rio’s room was on the top floor of the castle. From the balcony, you could easily take in much of Mount Asama’s pleasing scenery—clouds drifting hazily, the mountain half hidden, truly a paradise on earth. The sunlight on his head wasn’t too harsh either. Before this, Sijin had thought of himself as a shut-in with no taste for beautiful views, but now, freed from his hectic studies, he had time to cultivate his mind. On top of that, he had a lover.
At times, Sijin truly worried over the gap in their statuses, but for the most part, he was happy. His mood floated lightly like a feather.
How he wished days like these could last forever…
Stepping back inside from the top-floor balcony, he found a canopy bed draped in pink gauze. The entire room was done in a retro palace style. Sijin plugged in his laptop, then sprawled lazily on the red velvet sofa and stretched. The memory of being tormented a few days ago by that strange woman named Feng Na had long since faded away with his body’s comfort.
He waited about five minutes, but Rio hadn’t returned. Staying alone in the room started to feel dull, so he left to wander the castle. Earlier, when they parted, Tsukiyuki Rio had said that although the castle interior was like a labyrinth, there was no need to worry about getting lost—there were surveillance cameras inside.
As he looked around, twenty-two-year-old Gao Sijin found that, like a boy, he still had zero resistance to fantasy elements like elves, vampires, and knights. And so he began his castle adventure. The crisscrossing corridors were hung with rare paintings, and there were statues of knights clad in silver armor. Every detail amazed Sijin. He kept snapping photos with his phone to use as material for future writing.
Suddenly, Sijin saw a room with its door open. Exploration was a boy’s nature, and the room seemed to draw him in with magical force. In the corner sat a travel bag. Sijin recognized it: Yu Qingxue’s bag.
“Qingxue, are you in here?”
Sijin called out.
No sound came from the room. Ever since boarding the plane, Sijin had been glued to Rio, enjoying their time together and leaving Yu Qingxue completely ignored. Remembering Qingxue’s confession during their dance, Sijin always felt a twinge of guilt toward her.
He’d wanted to find time privately to chat with Qingxue and make it up to her. Unfortunately, she wasn’t in the room right now. Her laptop was on, though, and the screen showed editing software.
“Tsk…”
He couldn’t believe Yu Qingxue was editing a JAV. Normally, Sijin would never look at someone else’s computer and invade their privacy. But seeing this scene, his body still unconsciously drew him toward the laptop on the desk. The file was titled “Loss of Virginity Memorial.AVI.” Sijin instinctively moved the mouse to click the play button, but suddenly everything went black before his eyes as two soft mounds pressed into his back.
“Caught you, you little rascal. You’ve got some nerve peeking at my computer. Do you have a death wish?”
He hadn’t expected Yu Qingxue to come back at that moment. What a miscalculation.
She spoke right by his ear like a gust of hot wind that made Sijin’s whole body go weak.
“Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t mean to. I just accidentally walked into your room and accidentally saw this…”
“Did you watch my long-cherished meal-time video?”
“I didn’t see it. I was just about to click when you caught me. By the way, what were you doing just now?”
“I went to the fitting room with Junior Rio to try on clothes. Rio said some of her wedding dresses were a bit big but fit me just right, so I picked out a few of her things.”
“Um, stop covering my eyes. I won’t watch the porn on your computer, okay?”
Gao Sijin pried Yu Qingxue’s hands away, and she immediately snapped the laptop shut, afraid he might dig deeper into the videos on it.
When he turned around, Qingxue was wearing a gorgeous, sexy backless wedding dress. The white lace completely encased her voluptuous, curvy body. Her bosom peeked vaguely through the pure white patterns and pearls, and there were intricate designs on the dress.
Yu Qingxue stood poised before him, and Sijin’s heart couldn’t help but race. He didn’t even dare touch her, afraid of defiling her.
Back then, if Qingxue’s personality had been more girlish, Sijin might actually have pursued her. But unfortunately, she was such a goof that they accidentally ended up as bros.
“What, stunned by my devastatingly beautiful looks?”
“Honestly, you do have a great figure.”
“No need to state the obvious. With this body, if you miss it, it’s gone. I’m way bigger than your Rio—don’t believe me? Give it a squeeze. Actually, have you ever squeezed your Rio’s?”
“Why are you asking that?”
“Curious.”
“Just once. Squeezed them once. Ugh, stop asking…”
Sijin averted his eyes and said no more. But the sensation of that night with Rio had taken root deep inside him, impossible to forget.
“Look at you, blushing.” Yu Qingxue draped the arm wrapped in her long white lace glove over Sijin’s shoulder. “Come on, let’s go downstairs to eat. I may think my body is better than your Rio’s, but you jerk of an ungrateful wolf still prefer Junior Rio. Every time I think about it, my teeth itch with resentment. Makes me want to lock the door and settle things with you right here.”
“Hah, virgin.”
“Hah, closet pervert. Just wait—the day you and Rio break up, see if I don’t screw you to death.”
“But I really didn’t expect you to be editing that kind of video just now. That’s kind of a character collapse, Qingxue.”
“I like JAV, you got a problem with that? I don’t smoke, don’t drink, don’t hit the bars. What’s wrong with occasionally indulging in some lewd content? I’d planned to get naughty with you after I hooked you, but someone else snatched you away. The more I think about it, the angrier I get.”
“Please don’t be angry. You’re so amazing, Qingxue—you’ll definitely find someone better than me in the future.”
“Not interested. I don’t want to look either. Anyway, until I snatch you away from Rio, I won’t sleep soundly.”
Qingxue kept her arm draped over Sijin’s shoulder. Under her white-stockinged long legs were a pair of white high heels. A woman who normally wore black stockings suddenly switching to white was seriously lethal.
“Say, when we walk together, can you not stick so close? I’m afraid Rio will misunderstand if she sees.”
With Qingxue’s arm over his shoulder, Sijin could feel her body heat up close, and his heart raced uncontrollably.
“No way. I’m sticking to you. By the way, do you know the way around the castle?”
“Big sis, I’ve been following you this whole time.”
“What? Aren’t you the one leading?”
After wandering the eleventh floor of the castle for over ten minutes, the two finally realized they’d accidentally gotten lost.
In the end, they contacted Tsukiyuki Rio by phone, and she sent maids to bring them downstairs.
